Her mockery was written all over her face. Qi Yunting, furious, grabbed the nearby teacup and hurled it fiercely at Qi Yuan: “What are you so proud of? You lowly servant girl—meant to be trampled underfoot your whole life and never get up! You were born with a lowly fate!”
Qi Yuan tilted her head, so the teacup naturally smashed on the ground, shards scattering everywhere.
It was as if all the anger had found a vent and outlet at this moment—the anger that had built up over the months since Qi Yuan returned home finally exploded completely.
What was there to fear now?
They were the ones in control.
The sweet joy of revenge was right in front of them; the consequences could be dealt with later.
Qi Jin’s eyes shone unusually bright. She bent down, picked up a shard, stood up lightly, and said: “Sister, why are you so shocked? Weren’t you a fierce assassin? Shouldn’t you be able to easily kill us now?”
Qi Yuan smiled as well: “So it was you at the Wang family that day.”
When she killed Cheng Wang, it was strange that the Qi Wang and the guards sent by the Liu family didn’t come out to fight her despite seeing her kill Cheng Wang.
Now all the confusion had its answer.
She raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but sneer aloud: “So you were the coward who ran away at the last moment!”
The word “coward” struck Qi Jin so hard her face turned pale and her chest ached.
She actually dared to mock her?
The humiliation of Qi Wang holding her chin and saying she couldn’t compare to Qi Yuan surged in her heart again.
Old grudges and new hatred combined, twisting Qi Jin’s expression into something fierce and grim.
She no longer cared about keeping up her usual weak and gentle act in front of Qi Yunting and strode quickly toward Qi Yuan.
Without thinking, she raised her hand to strike: “What are you even? If you weren’t taking advantage of being born with blood ties, do you think anyone in the Qi family would accept you?!”
Right! Why? Why?
Just because she was born a blood relative, she got all the advantages! While she worked so hard and received nothing in return!
But thankfully, it all could end here.
Qi Jin gathered all her strength and was about to slap Qi Yuan’s face.
Qi Yunting stood nearby, unsettled and unsure, unable to react at once.
Qi Jin actually had this side to her?
She…
Wasn’t she always the fragile, gentle, kind-hearted, forgiving type?
But now, why did he see Qi Jin like a fierce demon, like she could kill at any moment?!
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense.
Qi Jin was fully immersed in the joy of imminent revenge.
Her life’s first half had clearly been smooth and fortunate. It was all because of Qi Yuan that she now suffered such a predicament! That Qi Wang caught her weak spots, threw her into the guard camp to endure silent suffering, barely surviving!
If not for Qi Yuan, how could she have gone through such a miserable ordeal?
In the guard camp, it was kill or be killed every day—she lived through endless torment.
She had countless times wished all this was a dream, that when she woke, she would still be the carefree eldest lady of the Yongping Marquis household, enjoying all the honors others brought to her.
Now the chance was right here.
As long as she killed Qi Yuan.
After Qi Yuan died, Qi Wang would have a thousand ways to clear her name.
She could then have a carefree life again.
Even if she lost the Yongping Marquis household, even if she was no longer connected to Qi Yunting.
All that didn’t matter anymore.
Anyone who’s faced death knows that before death, everything must be surrendered.
She was like that now, staring coldly at Qi Yuan with utter disregard, sneering aloud: “This is the end, Qi Yuan. When one dies, all matters vanish. Once you’re dead, everything ends.”
She stepped closer.
Qi Yuan pushed off the table with her legs and slid back in her chair just enough to avoid Qi Jin’s slap.
The missed slap left Qi Jin’s face blue and purple. She stared at her hand in disbelief, then looked at Qi Yuan sliding back.
How could this be?
Poisoned with the Soft Tendon Powder, how could Qi Yuan still have strength to resist?!
Was the world really revolving around Qi Yuan?!
A little crazed, Qi Jin instinctively raised her wrist, expressionless, staring at Qi Yuan, and suddenly pressed the switch in her hand.
So what if she was skilled?
This time she was fully prepared.
The one who should die had long ago deserved it.
An abnormal like Qi Yuan only belonged in hell!
The wrist dart shot forward.
Qi Yunting’s eyes widened even more.
He never expected Qi Jin to have this trick.
What was that thing tied on her wrist?
An arrow?
But no bow—how was she firing a bow and arrow?
And it flew incredibly fast…
His expression flickered, eyes wide with terror, fixed on Qi Yuan.
But Qi Yuan, who should have been sitting waiting to die, suddenly leapt off the chair, dodging Qi Jin’s dart like an agile cat, and pounced fiercely toward Qi Jin!
Qi Yunting instinctively screamed.
No matter what, he always hoped Qi Jin would be okay.
Qi Jin might not be as gentle and lovely as he imagined, might not be as kind.
But she was Qi Jin!
The sister who grew up with him, the person he now loved deeply.
The one he decided to spend his life with.
Even if she had secrets, things she couldn’t share with him—so what?
As long as she didn’t hurt him, he didn’t care what she did.
Thinking this, Qi Yunting sighed deeply, relieved, and nervously watched the fight unfold.
But then in an instant, Qi Yuan grabbed a chair, dodged several more darts, and without hesitation lunged at him.
Qi Yunting swung to block, but it was useless.
Qi Yuan moved quickly, grabbed him, and pushed him forward, almost treating him like a shield without hesitation.
He immediately came into Qi Jin’s shooting range.
The terrifying darts flew right in front of him.
Qi Yunting’s heart felt heavy, his breathing labored. Overwhelmed by some unknown feeling, he shouted: “Qi Jin!”
He desperately tried to calm himself.
Relax, relax.
Qi Jin would never harm you.
You will always be Qi Jin’s weakness!
Qi Jin squinted and without hesitation pressed the switch again, launching a volley of darts like raindrops toward the front.
