The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1347

Murong Ziyue’s face changed drastically upon hearing this and quickly covered Xin Lin’s mouth.

"Xin Lin, you mustn’t speak carelessly... the Family Head he..."

Murong Ziyue looked guilty, glancing at the Family Head.

She was afraid that in his rage, the Old Family Master would directly kill Xin Lin with a single palm.

One must know that even in the Eastern Continent, the Family Head’s spiritual power is quite renowned.

The old man, as expected, was quite "angry," his entire body trembling.

He leaped up and rushed towards Xin Lin.

"Family Head, please don’t, Xin Lin is just..."

Murong Ziyue mustered the courage to stop the Old Family Master.

But she couldn’t even see the Family Head’s movement technique; a black shadow flashed past, and the old man had already grabbed Xin Lin.

"Say that again? How much longer can this old man live?"

His voice was very agitated, not a hint of anger but only shock in his eyes.

For such a person as the Mu Family Old Family Master, who had stood tall in the Eastern Continent for many years, mountains collapse before him without a change of expression, yet at this moment, his expression had changed drastically.

"Half a year, if you don’t recklessly use ghost energy, you can live for half a year, but if you misuse ghost energy and refine ghost soldiers again, at most three months."

Xin Lin looked at the old man.

In her eyes, the old man’s complexion was very poor.

Perhaps due to years of contact with ghosts, there was a cloud of black energy at his brow.

That cloud of black energy is gray right now, but over time, it will become completely black, and in the end, the black energy would consume all his life force.

In her eyes, the Old Family Master was already half a body in the grave.

"Xin Lin, you mustn’t speak nonsense, the Family Head is as vigorous as ever, his health has always been robust."

Murong Ziyue stammered.

"Retribution, it truly is retribution. I’ve traversed the mainland for years, known for my ghost techniques, yet I never thought I’d end up dying by ghost energy."

The old man smiled bitterly, releasing Xin Lin.

Murong Ziyue was also full of shock upon hearing this.

Did the Old Family Master mean to say?

"I had intended to keep this matter hidden for a while longer, but it seems now it cannot be concealed."

The old man sighed.

"Family Head, what exactly is going on? How could you end up like this... I must immediately inform Mu Chen and the others."

Murong Ziyue’s complexion also changed drastically.

"No! This matter cannot be leaked."

Mu Family Master, with a stern expression, had planned to keep this a secret if it weren’t for Xin Lin seeing through it.

"Clinging to reputation, you’re afraid that once it’s known you’re dying, Fengdong will decline. No wonder you’re in such a hurry to arrange marriages, marrying off both Ziyue and Ziyue’s mother."

Xin Lin sneered.

Murong Ziyue was startled again, looking towards the Old Family Master.

Mu Old Family Master blushed, all the wrinkles on his face couldn’t help but tremble.

"Nonsense, I arranged it this way for the sake of their wellbeing!"

"Forcing them to their deaths, you call that for their own good? Passing down the unique skills to male heirs while using the women for arranged marriages, what renowned Fengdong, it’s just that."

Xin Lin sneered again.

"Outrageous, I’ve endured all I can, ghost soldiers!"

The Old Family Master, with rage on his face, shouted aloud.

"Family Head, hold on."

Murong Ziyue halted the Mu Old Family Master.

"Murong Ziyue, you dare to scold this old man?"

Mu Old Family Master was even more furious; after returning from Qingtian Academy, Murong Ziyue had become increasingly rebellious.

"Old Family Master, Ziyue has returned this time to beg you to retract the order, to cancel the marriage between my mother and me."

Murong Ziyue looked at the Old Family Master.

Though she suffered unfair treatment for many years, it wasn’t until today that Murong Ziyue realized that in Fengdong, no one had ever truly regarded her and her mother as their own.
