Chapter 298: No Matter Who It Is, I’m Not Afraid!_1

Yin Tian was walking back to the Xia Family’s home when suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, a sense of something being amiss.

He remembered Chen Yu’s stepmother, that beautiful woman!

When he was leaving, that beautiful woman had her head lowered, looking terrified.

But before he left, he thought he saw a fleeting cold smile at the corner of the woman’s mouth that was not easy to miss.

Especially since Master Lu had just died right in front of her, yet her demeanor seemed too calm.

Any woman who saw her husband dead on their doorstep, even if she didn’t scream or shout, would at least have been frightened into fainting, right?

But there she was sitting, with a look of being frightened.

This was simply not the reaction a woman, a wife should have!

"Something’s not right!"

Yin Tian muttered under his breath and turned around, running back to the courtyard.

A few minutes later, he returned to the courtyard.

As he walked in, he saw Master Lu’s body still lying on the ground.

As for that beautiful woman, she was nowhere to be seen.

At that moment, Yin Tian noticed that there seemed to be something extra on Master Lu’s corpse.

He went over immediately, picked it up, and found that it was a Human Skin Mask.

"I knew it!"

Yin Tian growled softly, "I’ve been deceived by that woman!"

Yin Tian immediately realized,

This Master Lu was just a tool and scapegoat in that woman’s hands!

And he had let that woman, who might hold a not insignificant position among the Heretic Feng Shui Masters, escape!

At the same time, he understood that the Human Skin Mask on Master Lu’s corpse was what the woman had been wearing before.

He didn’t know what that woman’s true appearance was!

That meant, even in the future, if that woman were to stand right in front of him, he might not be able to recognize her at all!

This undoubtedly added a great deal of unknown danger to Yin Tian.

"What a pity..."

Yin Tian let out a sigh, his face showing helplessness.

He didn’t reproach himself.

Mistakes were inevitable.

Whoever it was probably would have been deceived by that woman’s excellent acting skills.

"Rest in peace."

Yin Tian glanced at Master Lu, "In your next life, commit fewer acts that go against the heavens and harm the natural order."

Having said that, Yin Tian had already left the courtyard again, heading back to the Xia Family.

Inside the Xia Family, it was still a hive of activity as they were preparing for the funeral.

Old Mr. Xia and Old Madam Xia, in order to make it look more convincing, had even had their makeup done so that their faces were as pale as a dead person’s.

"Alright, that’s enough everyone."

Yin Tian clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention, "Ladies and gentlemen, the matter has been resolved, and you needn’t worry anymore, so let’s call off this funeral."

"As for you, hurry up and explain the previously agreed upon story to those who’ve been informed."

Upon hearing Yin Tian’s words, while the others had no reaction, Old Mr. Xia suddenly sat up, looking at Yin Tian with discontent, "Boy, couldn’t you wait a bit longer? It’s not easy to get to attend my own funeral alive, and here you go..."

Yin Tian: "??"

The Xia Family: "??"

Attending his own funeral alive...

Old Mr. Xia’s thoughts were indeed quite unusual.

Was this his idea of a unique experience?

"Come on, Second Brother, cut it out. You’re of such an age, yet you’re acting like a child," said Old Madam Xia, chuckling at Old Mr. Xia.

Old Mr. Xia grinned and turned to Yin Tian, "Did you figure out what was going on?"

"Yeah,"

Yin Tian nodded, "That person has been dealt with, and you don’t have to worry about them doing anything to the Xia Family anymore."

Dealt with...

A slight tremor ran through everyone’s hearts, clearly understanding what Yin Tian meant by ’dealt with’.

But everyone kept silent, understanding without saying anything.

"Yin Tian."

Su Qinwei and the other two girls walked over from a distance.

Earlier, to avoid exposure, Su Qinwei and the others had been hiding in a room the whole time, only emerging after Yin Tian returned.

"Let’s go too," said Yin Tian softly.

"Okay,"

The three girls nodded in unison and followed Yin Tian, ready to leave.

Just then, Old Mr. Xia suddenly called out to Yin Tian, "Yin Tian."

Yin Tian halted and turned to look at Old Mr. Xia.

"I forgot to tell you earlier,"

Old Mr. Xia said with a grave expression, speaking slowly, "There are a few people in the Zhou Family I’m on good terms with. They called me earlier in the day to say that people from the Zhou Family have arrived in the provincial city. You’d better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Yin Tian also nodded slowly, "Don’t worry, no matter who comes, I’m not afraid."

Old Mr. Xia hesitated before adding, "That’s good then, when the time comes... we will, as previously discussed, disassociate ourselves from you... don’t take it to heart."

"Yeah, we had already agreed upon that, right? Don’t feel burdened,"

Yin Tian said with a smile.

After speaking, he led Su Qinwei and the other two girls away from the Xia Family.
