Song Yan stared at the man in front of her, like really really stared at him.
Because she was startled by the sudden appearance of Song Lan out of nowhere, she lost control of her new power and triggered it into activating and now she was looking at her father, well at least he looked like her father. With his hair slightly puffed up and combed to the side, almond eyes that were just as charming as she remembered and crow feet at the corner of his eyes, that crinkled up when he smiled, however at this moment he wasn't smiling, he was looking down at her with those same eyes with which he looked at her years ago when he kicked her out of the house.
But this time her heart didn't do the painful twist that it always did, instead, it was raging..raging because the man standing in front of her might be looking like her father but he wasn't her father! At least that's what her insight was telling her, his soul was pitch black, a clear sign that he has killed people with his hands was secretly twisted and a schemer… and as she stared at him, she could feel his fear and guilt that was coursing in the undercurrents of his soul.
Fear of being caught and guilt of doing something wrong.
Her father might have been a shrewd businessman but Song Yan knew that he would never do anything like use underhanded methods to take control of the weakness of his competitors in front of him and to gain different business ventures. That was his pride, something like his own personal motto that he would never ever break … her father was a good man, an excellently capable man who was self-sufficient and down to earth, his soul should have been pure white…and which was why this man, who was standing in front of her could never be her father!
Her fingers clenched and she felt her heart thump painfully in her chest. If this man wasn't her father then where was he? The thought of her father being together with Chu Lian was enough to break her heart but the thought of her father being tormented by that evil hag made her feel like her heart was being stomped upon.
No, her father was alive. He has to be alive… Chu Lian wouldn't have killed him off like her mother because she still needed her father's blood to nourish that identity theft human skin mask.
Song Lan's smirk on her face turned even smugger when she noticed that Song Yan's face has gone pale, she looked at her with a slight tilt of her head and hooked her arm with her father's.
" Oh, I am sorry I didn't see you there sister," she said with an expression that was so arrogant that Fang Yanli rolled her sleeves and cracked her neck. " Just wait Yan Yan, I will kick her butt…" her voice trailed off when she noticed the expression on Song Yan's face and all the Yin energy drained out of her soul because that expression wasn't of hate or jealousy …it was loathing. That murderous aura was something Fang Yanli was familiar with it was the same expression that Song Yan had when she destroyed the sect that killed Master Gu in his last years.
This wasn't good. This was not at all good, not even the slightest bit!
Fang Yanli only dropped her guard for just two seconds and paid for it dearly—— Song Yan who have lost control of her Yin energy let it run loose causing a dark whip to slash against Fang Yanli.
" Oh shit!" As the string of Yin energy lashed against her Fang Yanli felt like her yin energy was being sucked at an incredibly fast rate. Startled, she flew away from Song Yan and watched the horror that was unleashing around Song Yan—— fragments of Yin energy like an unstable bomb kept flickering around her sucking up all the small ghosts and spirits who were lower than stage five.
Fang Yanli gawked in terror as Song Yan's energy unleashed its full potential at an old man's spirit that was minding its own business, it lashed against the poor soul and gobbled it up without leaving an inch of his energy behind. And what was even more horrible was that the more Song Yan sucked in the Yin energy of other ghosts the more her own Yin energy went out of control.
" Oh, this is going to be bad," murmured Fang Yanli as she stared at the strings of Yin energy around Song Yan sucking the Yang energy of the humans once it was done with the Yin energy. " This is going to be very bad."
Avoiding the crackles of the Yin waves, she flew towards Song Yan as she shouted, " Snap out of it Song Yan or you are going to explode!"
But Song Yan couldn't hear her in fact she couldn't hear anything, all her attention was on the man who was standing in front of her. As soon as Song Lan touched the arm of that man, Song Yan noticed a golden greenish thread being linked between the two —— the string of life, meaning that this man was Song Lan's father but he wasn't her.
Song Yan felt her heart quake as if it was under severe pressure.
This man wasn't her father but he birthed Song Lan then what did it mean? It meant that Chu Lian has made a fool out of her for hundreds of years!
That woman not only gave birth to a bastard but she even used her black magic to get past the first hurdle and make space for herself and her daughter in the Song house before replacing all the original heirs and owners with her own puppets.
Hats off Chu Lian, she really has to take her hats off for that woman. Five hundred years that's how long it took Song Yan to figure out that woman's scheme… Five hundred years!
