Free Web NovelMingxi's words not only changed Su Nv's expression but also made the four, including Yue Lingren, look extremely serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Especially Yue Lingren.
The Descent Organization.
Most Beast Tamers in the Alliance had never even heard of it, but at the level of Yue Lingren and the others, it was hard not to encounter this mysterious, shadowy, and corrupt evil organization.
Yue Lingren never expected that Su Nv's transformation was due to her joining the Descent and becoming their experimental subject!
"Little girl, you don't need to test me. I won't say anything. You're just wasting your time."
After a brief moment of shock, Su Nv regained her composure.
Even if Mingxi guessed correctly, what then?
She had long lost the chance to betray or to have a sudden realization.
Mingxi was not surprised by her answer; even villains had their style.
The fact that the Descent Organization could stubbornly cling to life for so many years despite being encircled and suppressed by the Alliance Beast Center and numerous planetary and national powers at least showed that their ability to manipulate people's minds was top-notch.
The reason she repeatedly questioned these madmen was simply to deduce some information from the changes in their expressions.
It was a practical application of micro-expression psychology.
Mingxi had learned quite a few of these small life skills in her previous life.
Of course, she wasn't a professional, but her powerful mental strength allowed her to observe the subtle details of facial changes more clearly.
Didn't Mingxi know that villains died from talking too much? She knew it all too well, though she wasn't a villain.
Besides, she wasn't a person who liked to talk nonsense, but wasn't there no other way?
She was currently caught in a situation, so she had to find a way to figure out what kind of situation it was, right?
Even if she died, she wanted to die knowing what happened.
And just like that, even long-unused skills were forced into action.
"It seems it's the latter then; the Descent are the hired party," Mingxi said unhurriedly, wiping her fingertips with a fragrant herb deliberately softened by Emerald Green, concluding with a calm expression.
She looked exactly like a high-class villain boss.
Cough.
She tossed the used fragrant herb into her spatial ring and looked at the large tree stump again, a profound smile on her face:
"So who is the mastermind? Who would go to such lengths to interfere with the Yue Ling Clan's succession battle?"
"Green Field Star officials? Blue Star forces?"
Mingxi narrowed her eyes, then stated with an extremely certain tone, "It's Yue An's, isn't it!"
Su Nv's perfect facial skin uncontrollably twitched, and the Earthquake in her pupils was so clear.
Her slightly agape cherry lips silently revealed the shock in her heart at that moment.
"Tsk, it really is."
Mingxi pinched her brow, feeling an even worse headache.
She just wanted to help Chiyu find the Dunyi Tower, why did she get entangled in all this mess?
Yue Lingren's face was ashen at this moment, the emotions in his eyes deep and hard to discern, but the oppressive atmosphere around him conveyed his fury.
"Young friend, how are you so sure that the person behind Su Nv is Yue An's? They and my Yue Ling Clan have always been of one mind, supporting each other. How could they..." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
He looked at Mingxi, trying to find a hint of a joke in her clear black eyes.
Mingxi spread her hands, "I'm not sure. I was just bluffing her, and it just happened to be true."
Actually, she wasn't shooting in the dark.
The Yue Ling Clan and Yue An's were the two largest and longest-standing families among the native inhabitants of Green Field Star, often referred to as 'South Yue Ling, North Yue An'.
The two families were respectively entrenched in the southern and northern regions of Green Field Star.
As Yue Lingren said, these two families had always maintained a harmonious relationship, supporting each other. Aside from minor frictions, they always advanced and retreated together on major issues.
Moreover, these two families had intermarried for generations. Whether in the main branches or collateral lines of the Yue Ling Clan or Yue An's, there were numerous women who had married into the other family.
So, to outsiders, they had always been iron allies.
But even biological fathers and sons, or brothers, could betray and harm each other for various reasons, so what was an ally turning against another?
Have you not seen in history that those who killed the most fiercely were often the victim's closest allies?
Furthermore, in Mingxi's view, the Yue Ling Clan and Yue An's, though seemingly harmonious and having similar status in Green Field Star and among the entire Kabu clan, were actually quite different.
The Yue Ling Clan held the title of the Kabu Royal Family; did Yue An's?
The Yue Ling Clan had a heritage of thousands of years, deep foundations, and wealth comparable to a nation; did Yue An's?
The Yue Ling Clan controlled over a dozen Mystic Grounds and secret realms; did Yue An's?
...
Just comparing the ancestral lands of the Yue Ling Clan and Yue An's: one had moved to Wanglan Prefecture, the most fertile and safest political and economic center of Green Field Star, while the other could only reside in the barren and backward Greenlink Prefecture.
So, were these two families truly equal?
There's a °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° saying, 'One worries not about scarcity, but about unequal distribution.'
And another says, 'One fears a brother's hardship, yet also fears a brother driving a Land Rover.'
Humans are the most complex animals; sometimes, the closer the relationship between two parties, the more likely they are to develop intense jealousy towards each other.
Even if the Yue Ling Clan and Yue An's were truly on equal footing, isn't there a saying, 'How can one allow another to snore beside one's bed?'
So, after reading some ambiguous yet thought-provoking information, Mingxi had already guessed that the Yue Ling Clan and Yue An's would eventually fall out.
She just didn't expect this drama of turning against each other to happen so suddenly!
And she had become a character in the play.
Mingxi's mouth tasted bitter; she had gone from being a pawn to an actor.
Earning one salary but working three jobs.
She was truly miserable.
"Yue An's!"
Yue Lingren did not doubt Mingxi's judgment; he had also noticed the change in Su Nv's expression just now.
"We, the Yue Ling Clan, believe we have never wronged them. How dare they?"
Mingxi looked at the old man, whose bald head was practically glowing green with anger, and comforted him, "What you're saying, Wu Dalang never wronged Pan Jinlian, yet he was still poisoned to death by her."
You certainly know how to comfort people.
The green light on Yue Lingren's head became even more profound.
Even Ultraman XX would come and ask, "Do you believe in light?"
Mingxi silently turned her head away and nodded very subtly.
"Ah!"
Su Nv suddenly shrieked again, as if her heart had been ripped out.
In fact, it was even worse than having her heart ripped out.
Her body, consisting only of a torso and part of the roots, was split in half, with the bridge of her nose as the midline.
Inside the split tree trunk, there were no normal wood grains, but large areas of gnarled, slippery internal organs. The entire vertical cross-section clearly exposed human flesh and internal organs, only some of the tendons and blood vessels had already lignified.
Although Su Nv's appearance had completely transformed into a Lanlin Nightmare, she was still essentially a human.
But if you were to say she was still human, she truly wasn't.
For example, she was now cut in half, but neither the flesh nor the internal organs slipped out of the wound; instead, they adhered tightly.
