Chapter 5: Changing Faces Faster Than Turning Pages

005. Changing Faces Faster Than Turning Pages

Yun Qin rolled her eyes speechlessly. This changing of faces was as fast as turning the pages of a book!

Hong Xiao was right to say she was two-faced. She just wondered what kind of expression Cang Yun would wear the day he finally saw through the gentle and affectionate Yun Mo to realize she was actually a vicious and petty woman.

Cang Yun nodded mildly toward Yun Mo, then cast a gaze full of gloom and malice down at Yun Qin.

This waste actually dared to call him shameless and hypocritical. What right did she have to say such things?

Yun Qin wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, struggled to sit up, and squinted slightly at Cang Yun.

She admitted that the man before her was tall and upright, handsome in appearance, and already a Rank 6 expert at the age of eighteen. With the added status of being a prince, he was indeed the kind of person many women would be willing to entrust their lives to.

But among those women, the original owner of this body was absolutely not one of them!

Before the age of eight, the original owner was just an ignorant little girl. After eight, she rarely saw Cang Yun, so how could there be any feelings? Even when Cang Yun came to visit her during festivals, he was merely putting on a show for others.

Every time this happened, Yun Mo would follow along, using the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Cang Yun while simultaneously earning a reputation for being a loving sister.

The original owner didn't care about such things, so she couldn't be bothered to argue and never even spoke of it to others.

As she searched through the original owner's memories regarding Cang Yun and Yun Mo, a trace of disdain and mockery clouded Yun Qin's clear, dark eyes.

Cang Yun saw it clearly and was instantly infuriated. "Yun Qin, you are nothing but a waste, yet you dare to look down on me?"

Yun Jingfeng shot a glance at Yun Qin, his eyes filled with nothing but disgust. "A-Yun, why bother talking to her? Why don't we take advantage of Grandfather's seclusion and let me finish her off?"

As he spoke, his hands began to condense spiritual power.

"Heh!" Yun Qin gave a faint laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Yun Jingfeng was incensed.

"Laughing at how stupid you are." Yun Qin's calm indifference stood in stark contrast to Yun Jingfeng's uncontrollable rage; at this moment, he looked like a clown.

"You despicable..."

"Cousin, you and I both belong to the Yun family lineage. When you are calling me despicable, have you ever stopped to think about what kind of thing you are yourself? Insulting people requires intelligence; to insult yourself into a corner is simply beyond foolish!" As Yun Qin spoke these words, she cast a faint, sideways glance at Yun Mo.

Yun Mo's face flushed instantly; those latter words were essentially slapping her in the face.

Yun Jingfeng's expression became distorted. "You..."

Yun Qin ignored him and turned to Cang Yun, saying, "Seventh Prince, whether I look up to you or not isn't actually important. Isn't your goal simply to cancel the engagement?"

Cang Yun pursed his lips. He suddenly realized that today's Yun Qin was very different from usual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on how.

He slightly lifted his resolute chin, signaling her to continue.

"The Seventh Prince should know that there are no secrets that stay hidden forever, and Grandfather is no fool. Rather than you killing me and eventually having Grandfather find out—causing unpleasantness for the Yun Imperial Family—it might make it quite difficult for Elder Sister to marry you in the future. It would be better if you just let me go, and I will take the initiative to propose the cancellation of the engagement to His Majesty. When Grandfather asks about it in the future, I will be the one to explain it to him, leaving you completely out of the matter. What do you think?"

Cang Yun lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly contemplating Yun Qin's words.

Yun Mo grew anxious. "A-Yun..."

Yun Qin quickly cut her off. "Elder Sister, I know what you are worried about. I guarantee I won't reveal a single word about today's events."

Of course she wouldn't reveal a single word, but the trampling and harm she had suffered today would, one day, surely be paid back.

Returned a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
