The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1355: Chapter 1349

The old woman, upon entering, glared viciously at Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue.

Especially Murong Ziyue, the old woman’s cloudy old eyes were almost all whites, staring at Murong Ziyue with contempt in her eyes.

"Third Sister, why are you here?"

The Old Family Master was slightly surprised to see the old woman.

Xin Lin was also a bit curious, scrutinizing the old woman.

The old woman was already very advanced in age, her back severely hunched.

She wore a wide robe like a bat in the dark night, hanging on her thin, elderly body.

Her age was comparable to the Old Family Master’s, and the Ghost Energy surrounding her was no less than the Old Family Master’s.

Upon seeing her for the first time, Xin Lin guessed her identity.

Mu Chen had once mentioned that in Fengdong, the one whose strength was closest to the Old Family Master’s, and most capable of contending with him, was Ghost Shiva.

This Ghost Shiva was the Old Family Master’s third sister.

In the past, when it came to their strength, the Old Family Master and his third sister were evenly matched, but because she was a woman, the position of Fengdong Family Head ultimately went to the Old Family Master.

For this, the Old Family Master always felt guilty towards Ghost Shiva. After she married, her husband died young, and she returned to Fengdong with her only son.

The Old Family Master treated her offspring as his own, and coupled with her high cultivation and remarkable ghost techniques.

Her status in Fengdong was comparable to the Old Family Master’s, and she was one of his most trusted persons.

"Big Brother, how could you be so muddle-headed, almost fooled by these little girls?"

Ghost Shiva was one of the few who knew the Old Family Master’s situation.

She had just returned to the East Court and heard the Second Madam bringing Mu Feng to complain.

The Second Madam was the niece of Ghost Shiva’s late husband, and it was due to Ghost Shiva’s involvement that she was able to marry into Fengdong. She always cared deeply for the Second Madam and Mu Feng.

Her good-for-nothing son was also a drinking buddy of Mu Feng, and they often combined forces in mischief.

After hearing what Mu Feng said, Ghost Shiva was furious and came straight with her cane to scold Murong Ziyue.

Unbeknownst to her, upon arriving outside, she overheard her brother talking about life extension and canceling marriage.

This marriage had been arranged by Ghost Shiva, and if it were to be canceled now, wouldn’t that mean severely offending Fuzhou? Ghost Shiva was the first to disagree.

"Mother..."

Murong Ziyue was about to pay her respects, but Ghost Shiva sneered coldly.

"Murong Ziyue, I’ve already told my brother, a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent. Someone like you, born from such low-grade stock, should not pursue studies at Qingtian Academy. Marrying early, serving your husband, and raising children is the right path for you, and would be a contribution to the family. Since you have returned, do not cause any more trouble. In due time, I will arrange a new marriage for you."

"Old hag, I think instead of being called Ghost Shiva, you should be called Ghost Matchmaker. If you enjoy matchmaking so much, you might as well find yourself a match and arrange an alliance."

Listening to this, Xin Lin rolled her eyes.

It seems that the marriages of Murong Ziyue and even my mother were all orchestrated by Ghost Shiva, that old hag with her evil schemes.

However, Xin Lin also noticed that despite her strength being similar to the Old Family Master’s, the ghost energy surrounding Ghost Shiva was not heavy, and there was no Grey Qi between her brows, making her situation evidently much stronger than the Old Family Master’s.

This puzzled Xin Lin, for logically, wasn’t it more difficult for men than women to be tainted by ghost energy?

Or was there something else hidden in the Old Family Master’s situation?
