Shi Sheng smiled strangely. "Since it's your choice, I won't say anything. But … Ning Xian, what you said just now was full of loopholes. The truth is completely different from what you said, isn't it? "
Ning Xian's pupils contracted. She quickly tried to recall what she'd said, but because she was nervous, she couldn't remember what she'd said.
What did she say wrong?
Or did she not lose her memory at all? Was she just toying with her?
Shi Sheng's mocking voice slowly rang out.
"I didn't recover my memory. According to what you said, I'm extremely favored in the Ning Family, so you and Ning Yan must've been neglected. Under such circumstances, how could you be willing to marry that Ghost King for me? "
"Don't talk to me about sisterhood. If there really was such a thing, you wouldn't have called my name the moment you opened your mouth. The first time you called my name, you were clearly nervous. Or rather … afraid … But when I asked you if you knew me, you obviously relaxed. Ning Xian, why don't you explain why your first reaction to meeting your family wasn't excitement, but nervousness? What were you nervous about? "
Ning Xian tugged at her sleeves and explained, "We haven't seen each other for so long … It's only natural for me to be nervous when you suddenly appeared."
"It seems you don't want to tell me yourself." Her first reaction to seeing Ning Xian was disgust.
It was impossible for her to feel disgust towards a ghost she didn't know.
Thus, this was an instinctive reaction from the original owner of her body.
She'd been to so many planes, but she'd never sensed such an instinctive reaction from the original owner.
Ning Ying's disgust towards Ning Xian was the only reason she could sense it.
The truth definitely wasn't what Ning Xian had said.
"Big Sis, Second Sis, what are you talking about?" Ning Yan didn't understand. His confused gaze wandered between them, but he was clearly dissatisfied with Shi Sheng.
One was his big sister who'd just returned, while the other was his big sister who'd taken care of him for so many years. Ning Yan was already biased towards Ning Xian.
Shi Sheng didn't say anything. He flashed forward and attacked. Ning Xian shielded Ning Yan behind her and exchanged blows with Shi Sheng.
Ning Xian didn't have a weapon, so she was at a disadvantage. After ten moves, Shi Sheng kicked her to the ground and pointed the tip of his Iron Sword at her neck.
"Xiaoyan, hurry up and leave," Ning Xian said to Ning Yan.
"Second Sister, let me go. I didn't do anything wrong." Ning Yan cried and shook his head. "Big Sister, Second Sister, please let go of Big Sister. I'm begging you. I'm begging you."
"Ning Yan, let's go!" Ning Xian shouted anxiously. "Go find him and tell him that Ning Ying's back. Hurry!"
Ning Yan seemed to have thought of something. He immediately got up and ran outside.
Shi Sheng gave Feng Jin a look, and Feng Jin took out a talisman and threw it at Ning Yan, freezing him in place.
"Do you want to find the Ghost King?" Seeing that Ning Yan was frozen, Shi Sheng looked down at Ning Xian.
Seeing her hopes dashed, Ning Xian couldn't maintain her composure any longer. Suddenly, she glared at Shi Sheng with hatred. "Ning Ying, why didn't you turn into ashes?"
Back then, that person clearly said …
"Oh?" Shi Sheng dragged out his words. "Then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I didn't turn into ashes, but you will soon."
"Hahahaha, Ning Ying, do you think he'll still believe you? If he finds out that you're back, he'll be the first to kill you. "
Shi Sheng was about to explode.
If you have the guts, why don't you tell me the whole story?!
Just give me a snippet and let I guess? Guess my ass!
She had a tool to make people tell the truth, but she didn't have a tool to make ghosts tell the truth …
"System, is there anything in the System Store that can make her stop blabbering and get to the point?" Shi Sheng called out to the System in his mind.
[Host, please don't ask questions that insult the System Store.]
Alright, that means there is one.
Shi Sheng opened up the System Store in his mind. The list of products on the screen dazzled him. Fortunately, the System helped him narrow down the list.
Sincerity Pill
D-grade tool
1,000 points

Suitable for spies, undercover agents, and interrogation

1,000 points. It wasn't expensive, but it wasn't expensive either. In the end, Shi Sheng gritted his teeth and exchanged for it.
Rather than wasting time with this woman, I'd rather go flirt with Feng Jin.
Shi Sheng fed Ning Xian the Sincerity Pill.
… …
Where Ning Xian's story differed was in Ning Ying's attitude toward the matter.
All the children of the Ning Family had received a talisman from the person who'd helped Father Ning and the ghost king form a contract.
It allowed them to see the ghost king. Ning Ying didn't hate the ghost king. He'd grown up with her, and they could be considered childhood sweethearts.
Ning Ying liked the ghost king very much. She'd been looking forward to her coming-of-age ceremony, to becoming his bride, to forming a ghost marriage with him, and to being together forever.
However, Ning Xian also liked the ghost king. Moreover, because Father Ning and Mother Ning favored Ning Ying, she was jealous of her.
So, she secretly found that person from before and offered him a high price to kill Ning Ying on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. That person then suppressed Ning Ying's soul and took it away.
Ning Xian then married the ghost king in Ning Ying's place.
When the ghost king found out that he wasn't marrying Ning Ying, he was furious and wanted to kill Ning Xian. Ning Xian had only seen the ghost king quietly by Ning Ying's side or smiling at her. She'd never seen him so angry.
She couldn't accept it, so she lied to the ghost king and said that Ning Ying didn't like him at all. She liked someone else and had already eloped with him.
The ghost king didn't believe her.
Ning Xian then said that she'd been faking it all these years. She knew that he had a contract with her and was afraid that he'd hurt her family. That was why she lied to him.
It was also because of Ning Xian's words that the ghost king, in a fit of rage, massacred the entire Ning Family in an attempt to force Ning Ying out.
However, Ning Ying was already dead at that time, and even her soul had been suppressed. How could she possibly appear?
This was the truth of what happened back then.
Ning Xian was jealous of Ning Ying, so she plotted to kill her and marry the ghost king in Ning Ying's place. She even misled the ghost king, causing him to slaughter the entire Ning Family in a fit of rage.
But what about the rest of her memories?
What happened after Ning Ying was taken away?
Feng Jin suddenly grabbed Shi Sheng's hand and apologized in a low voice. "I'm sorry."
"Hm?" Why are you apologizing out of the blue? Is there something wrong with him?
Feng Jin patted her head. "I can tell you what happened after that, but … we have to take care of things here first."
"Is that ghost king still here?" Shi Sheng asked Ning Xian.
Ning Xian nodded with a dazed expression.
"Ning Xian, you actually dared to lie to me." An angry roar exploded from the ground.
A pitch-black shadow appeared in the air. He grabbed Ning Xian by the neck. Although his face was ferocious, he was still handsome.
Ning Xian's dull eyes were bloodshot, and the cold touch on her neck made her come to her senses.
The Sincerity Pill would not cause people to lose their memories, so she clearly remembered what she had said just now.
