*Warning: If you don't want to read about a seemingly immoral dealing (that might gross out some of you) …. You can choose to skip this chapter and the next chapter. Plus, there's a small spoiler at the author's note for explanation of the deal.*

The journey was relatively short because Nan Hua had asked them to drive at the fastest speed possible towards Yi Shang Temple.

While they were on their way, Nan Hua was silently mulling about what she knew regarding Shangguan Die from the . The problem was that Shangguan Die was not even worth mentioning in Long Qian Xing's story than Shangguan Mi. She couldn't even find any remarkable event about her there.

It was as if Shangguan Die was a nonexistent character in the story.

'A can't possibly show all the characters. Only those related to the main character will be shown.'

The only information Nan Hua had about Shangguan Die would originate from the information she had gathered through Dark Moon Organization. The amount of information was not much.

What Nan Hua wondered the most was whether the original Nan Hua actually helped Shangguan Die or not. If she did, was there any accident or would it alter the future's path once more? Nan Hua honestly didn't know.

"Miss, we have arrived."

"Good."

Nan Hua put on the veil. No matter how much she didn't like wearing this kind of thing in broad daylight, she knew that it was necessary. This kind of veil was bothersome as Nan Hua preferred the one that could securely cover her face at night. Though, it was impossible for her to wear that in front of others.

"First Young Miss Nan," the apprentice monks come to greet her.

"I'm here to pray for my brother. He's going to the frontline and I wish for him to stay safe," Nan Hua gave her excuse.

In fact, she had been thinking about what kind of excuse she should use when she came to the temple. Her brother's name just suddenly floated inside her mind, so she used his name.

The apprentice monk nodded. "In that case, please follow us."

The procedure was rather simple and Nan Hua completed her pray very quickly. She didn't have any intention of staying here for a long time either. After nearly an hour in the room, Nan Hua headed to the resting area and found Shangguan Die sitting there calmly.

"First Young Miss Shangguan."

"Young Miss Nan." Shangguan Die smiled. "My apologies for being unable to welcome you in Shangguan Family Residence. But this place shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Hearing Shangguan Die's speech, which was partially polite and partially crude, Nan Hua felt a bit apprehensive. It seemed that the reason why Shangguan Die was so famous was also because of her different way of speaking.

Unlike those other noble ladies, she had a rather unique way of speak.

At some times, she would be very blunt and said whatever she wanted upfront. At other times, she was very reserved and would not say anything bad. It was quite funny for those who knew Shangguan Die personally.

"Yes, let me sense your pulse a bit."

"Ok."

Nan Hua checked Shangguan Die's pulse and didn't feel surprised when she sensed the poison that was deeply embedded in the young lady's body. Given by how ruthless the battle in second Shangguan Family could be, it wouldn't be strange for Shangguan Die to be poisoned.

Nan Hua took a pill out. "Eat this."

"Is this necessary?" Shangguan Die complained, but she still took the pill as Nan Hua asked her to be.

"You're poisoned."

Shangguan Die's face contorted when she heard that. It was not out of her expectation, but she had already visited a lot of doctors. How come not a single one of them noticed her condition?

Those doctors should have been put down for malpractice!

Nan Hua didn't explain much and took out another bottle. "Apply this to your face. In a few more months, the scars should be negligible."

"Really?" Shangguan Die's eyes lit up.

"Yes. However, I suggest you to keep it in a safe place lest that some people try to scheme against you."

"Hehe, thank you." Shangguan Die kept the bottle within her sleeve. She grinned but didn't say anything more. She knew that amongst the servants who came with her, there were some that was sent by her dear sister.

And of course, it would be up to her how she wanted to settle that in the future.

Nan Hua was about to leave when she heard faint sounds from outside. Her eyebrows arched a bit.

"Hide here."

"Ok."

Moving to behind the cupboard, Nan Hua erased her presence easily. This way, even the young man who came would never knew that there was someone else.

"Young Master, Young Miss is resting!"

"Get off!"

That coarse voice could only belong to one person…

Bang!

"Sister!" the door was flung open and Shangguan Yi strode inside. His face contorted in anger and displeasure. When he saw Shangguan Die, his expression slightly eased up, but it was still very dark. "Why are you following Father's arrangement to come here? Don't you want to go back?"

"What can I do back at home, Brother?" Shangguan Die was rather calm as she looked at her older brother. There was a fleeting gaze within her eyes, but she quickly retracted her gaze back.

Shangguan Yi snorted. "Do anything you want. If those people dare to say anything to you, you can just beat them up!"

Shangguan Die chuckled. She waved her hand and her servants quickly closed the door and walked away. Her eyes deepened as she looked at her older brother. "Tell me what you want, Brother?"

Looking at his sister, whose face was barely intact thanks to the scars, Shangguan Yi's gaze also deepened. With a hoarse voice, he spoke out, "You know what I want, Ah Die."

Shangguan Die pursed her lips.
