The members of the family had originally been very angry at Hong Zhu's disregard for the bigger picture, but they had not expected that after reporting it to the patriarch, not only would he not stop her, he would even encourage Hong Zhu's actions.
Not only did the patriarch verbally encourage her, he had even specially invited Song Qingshu of the Song family to go to the secular world to help take care of the evil cultivator disciples. Moreover, he had established a Hong Ying team specifically for Hong Zhu to protect her and gather information.
Although it was said that the clan's interests were above all else, Hong Zhu had already proposed a solution. Since she did not want to become a sacrifice herself, as long as she could use the appropriate method to find a suitable candidate who could take her place, Patriarch Hong would not have any complaints against her.
The actions of the Old Patriarch caused the Hong Family members to change their attitude towards Hong Zhu. Normally, they would treat her with more respect. However, there was still one person, and that was her younger sister, Hong Yan, who still strongly disapproved of her actions.
Hong Yan believed that since Hong Zhu was the successor of an immortal cultivation sect, she must have a sense of duty to sacrifice herself for the family! She had not expected that not only would Hong Zhu find an outsider to replace her position, she would even learn some heretical art of seduction. This was simply a disgrace to the Hong family!
However, although she disapproved of Hong Zhu's actions, the two of them had grown up together and shared a deep and intimate relationship. Hong Yan's trust and dependence on Hong Zhu had not diminished because of this.
The real reason why the two women were so incompatible and at odds with each other was actually because of Xiao Chen.
Previously, when Hong Yan had helped out at the pharmacy, it was all because of Xiao Chen's careless words that she had thought that Xiao Chen was a lecher and a pervert!
Moreover, because Hong Yan had never mentioned this little secret to anyone else, every time she recalled this matter, her impression of Xiao Chen would become even worse.
In the end, when Hong Yan was not around, in order to investigate Xiao Chen's strength, Hong Zhu had not hesitated to use a seduction art to seduce him!
When Hong Yan found out about this, her impression of her older sister became extremely bad, as if she had swallowed a fly.
Because of this insignificant matter, the two sisters grew increasingly disagreeable, and the conflict between them grew more and more intense. In the end, the two women had a huge argument in front of the elders of the family.
Although Hong Yan and Hong Zhu had been pacified at the time, the relationship between Hong Yan and Hong Zhu had gradually drifted apart after that, and their interactions had become less and less frequent.
Hong Zhu stared at her phone and sighed softly. In truth, why would she and Hong Yan have such a deep grudge against each other? The two of them were connected by blood and should have been the most intimate of relationships. Who would have thought that it would turn out like this!
"Cough cough, that … Sister Hong Zhu, it's getting dark, what are we waiting for here?" Seeing that Hong Zhu had finished his call, Li Xian 'er pretended to look up at the sky and pretended to cough twice.
Although Hong Zhu had already walked some distance away, a few words still fell into Li Xianer's ear.
Li Xian 'er was indeed a little curious as to why Hong Zhu and her sisters would have such an unpleasant quarrel, but she did not dare to ask too many questions. After all, this was a family matter, and it was not appropriate for outsiders to get involved. As such, she could only change the subject.
Hong Zhu regained his composure and said with a solemn expression, "I just received news that the Ghost Cultivation Sect is also competing with us for women with spiritual energy in the secular world. It is very likely that Lu Shuangshuang was captured by them!"
"What? The Ghost Cultivation Sect? " Li Xianer was shocked. After pondering for a while, she looked at the bungalow and said, "Since that's the case, shouldn't we speed up? How about we go and ask that Kerr Lin now and see if she's willing to become a sacrifice? Looking at the situation here, I feel that her family shouldn't be very well off. As long as we spend a bit more money, I think she will definitely agree! "
"Not for the time being!" Hong Zhu had already returned to normal at this time. He stared at Kerr Lin's residence and said, "There's something strange about this matter. If we rashly go in, not only will Kerr Lin not believe our words, she will also suspect that we were the ones who kidnapped Lu Shuangshuang."
"Then what should we do? If we don't act now, it will be too late when the Ghost Cultivation Sect comes looking for us! "Li Xianer asked with a frown.
"That's exactly what we want!" Hong Zhu raised his eyebrows and coldly said, "If Lu Shuangshuang was really kidnapped by the Ghost Cultivation Sect, that means that Kerr Lin is also in danger. Therefore, I plan to stay here for a few days and see who the other party is! If everything goes smoothly, we can also use this opportunity to rescue Lu Shuangshuang. "
Li Xianer excitedly waved her small fist and said, "That's great! I've long wanted to teach those despicable Ghost Cultivation Sect a lesson, but I've never had the chance to meet them, uh … "
Halfway through her words, Li Xianer's stomach issued a "gu gu" sound. She hastily covered her stomach in embarrassment. Only then did she remember that she hadn't had the time to finish her meal when Kerr Lin called her to come here.
"Hehe, I'm also a bit hungry. You stay here and keep an eye on them. I'll go out and buy something to eat." Hong Zhu faintly smiled and stretched his waist in a charming manner. He glanced around and then walked towards the convenience store at the entrance of the slum area.
Late at night, most of the households in the slum area had already turned off their lights and slept. Only a few houses still had a faint light on, and one of them was Kerr Lin's room.
Originally, Kerr Lin wouldn't sleep so late, but she was now a freshman. In addition to attending classes on time during the day, she also had to help her family set up the stall in her spare time. It was inevitable that she couldn't keep up with the progress of her studies. She didn't want to fall behind others, so she took advantage of the night to revise for a while.
After earnestly doing a few exercises, Kerr Lin raised her head and looked at the time. Seeing that it was almost twelve o 'clock, she closed her textbook and went out to take a bath. When she returned to her room and was about to turn off the light to sleep, she suddenly saw a black shadow flashing outside the window.
"Wh … Who is it?!" Kerr Lin was suddenly shocked. She had heard that several households in the slum area had been robbed recently. According to the investigation, the thieves had quietly sneaked in through the windows in the middle of the night after the people in the bungalows had fallen asleep!
Since the buildings in Slum area were basically bungalows, and Kerr Lin's house was on the first floor, and the windows of her house had an old-fashioned lock that had been used for decades. Now, it was dilapidated, so they could only use a bolt. So, once a thief targeted her, it was easy for them to enter the room.
"Ke Er, it's Shuangshuang. You haven't slept yet, right? Hurry, hurry up and open the window. I'm in trouble! " Kerr Lin had just plucked up the courage to ask when Lu Shuangshuang's voice came from outside the window. It sounded a little hoarse.
"Shuangshuang? It's you! Where did you go? Your grandmother and I were worried to death! "Kerr Lin was delighted and quickly ran over. Just as she was about to open the window, her hand suddenly paused.
