Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1587: Chapter 1571: The Newly Crowned Spin Master

Therefore, Huo Sining glanced at Master Chen, who was dumbfounded over there, suddenly clapped her hands, and praised:

”Plant manipulation, truly impressive. So Miss Yue also understands secret arts, mastering this move isn’t easy. May I ask who Miss Yue learned from?”

Miss Yue was momentarily stunned, and then seeing Huo Sining winking at her, she immediately understood the intention behind Huo Sining’s words, knowing that Huo Sining was covering for her. She couldn’t help but curve her lips, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over to where Master Chen was and said with a smile:

”My master has passed away, so it’s best not to mention him, lest he thinks I’m flaunting his name outside. Why, does Miss Huo also understand secret arts?”

Huo Sining nodded with a smile: ”It’s quite a coincidence. When I was young, I accidentally helped an old beggar, who turned out to be a person of the secret arts. He taught me some of these things half seriously and half jokingly. I could be considered half a person of the secret arts, but Miss Yue, I don’t know this trick of yours.”

As she spoke, Huo Sining walked over to Mr. Huang, stretched out her hand, and muttered an incantation. Soon, following Huo Sining’s fingers, all places she pointed to turned into a glacial landscape. In just a moment, Mr. Huang’s corpse was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Master Chen, who had initially regarded Miss Yue as a monster, was stunned upon seeing Huo Sining’s display.

What secret arts? He had never heard of such a thing, but the two women before him, one able to manipulate plants, the other turning her hand into ice, absolutely defied common logic.

Now, Master Chen went from being frightened to awestruck, with not a shred of doubt left in his heart.

Turns out, these two seemingly unremarkable women were the real bosses among their group.

What sort of sect was this that surpassed even the Ancient Martial Arts Family in strength? The people it trained seemed to have supernatural abilities, even more extraordinary than the swordsman technique masters in those martial arts dramas!

The reason Master Chen didn’t suspect Huo Sining and Miss Yue of covering up was that he had witnessed Miss Yue killing and Huo Sining in action firsthand, so there wasn’t a trace of doubt left regarding the truth of the matter.

By now, he had already seen Huo Sining and Miss Yue as masters of a mysterious Sect, not daring to harbor any ulterior motives.

Just thinking about dozens of vines shooting towards him, then being frozen into an ice sculpture, Master Chen couldn’t help but shiver, looking at those two women with eyes full of fear and awe, no longer daring to scheme.

Seeing that everything was covered up, Miss Yue couldn’t help but wink at Huo Sining, her gaze, however, fell on Gu Xu beside them, looking at Huo Sining with a questioning look.

Huo Sining slightly nodded, signaling that Gu Xu was no problem, only then did Miss Yue feel at ease, looking at Master Chen, she said:

”Uncle Chen, you were Mr. Huang’s hire. The commission he promised you, I won’t shortchange you a penny. But I hope after today’s events, once we’re out, you’ll keep everything that happened a secret. If this matter gets leaked, you know my temper.”

Master Chen shivered and quickly nodded like pounding garlic, swiftly stating his position:

”Rest assured, Miss Yue, today’s events, if I, Chen Dayong, were to leak a word, I wouldn’t need you to take action, Heaven can sort me out, and let me get hit by a car as soon as I step out!”

Wasn’t that a bit harsh? Huo Sining and Miss Yue glanced at each other, their lips twitching involuntarily.

”Alright, I got it. Just remember, our Sect members are everywhere in the world. As long as you dare to leak it, no matter where you are, there will be a way to deal with you.” Miss Yue said coldly.

Master Chen nodded, with a flash of fear and trepidation in his eyes, his face solemn, obviously taking Miss Yue’s words to heart.

Huo Sining couldn’t help but admire Miss Yue’s ability to bluff. She had considered herself a master of deception, but compared to Miss Yue, she was falling short.

Although Miss Yue avenged her parents, with Mr. Huang dead, he hadn’t told them in advance where the treasures were hidden in the Underground Palace. This made the upcoming task quite difficult; finding a keyhole in such a large underground palace was no easy feat.

Miss Yue clearly realized she had been impulsive and inconsiderate. It felt good to see Mr. Huang go, but it left a mess behind.

”Sorry, I got emotional and lost control, not only failing to help you but also causing more trouble, I sincerely apologize.”

With an awkward expression, Miss Yue clearly felt guilty for killing Mr. Huang just like that, leaving Huo Sining without any useful information.

Huo Sining shook her head with a smile, comforting Miss Yue.

Just then, Gu Xu suddenly spoke up: ”I think I might know where that so-called Gate of Life is.”

”You know?” Upon hearing this, Huo Sining looked up at Gu Xu in surprise.

Gu Xu nodded with a smile: ”Do not forget what I do. Our mandatory courses in the military include reconnaissance, not just of terrain, but of people as well.”

”What do you mean?” Huo Sining and Miss Yue glanced at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Gu Xu explained: ”It’s about interpreting people’s expressions and words, their body language, and using psychological analysis to extract useful information.”

”Earlier, when you asked Mr. Huang what the key was for, he wouldn’t tell you, right? But while you were negotiating with him, I was watching him. At the time, he rambled on and kept trying to enlist Miss Yue and Master Chen as allies, but I noticed that his gaze was constantly, subconsciously darting to one place, in a very cautious manner.”

”According to psychological analysis, people tend to inadvertently reveal their inner thoughts when nervous, just like when someone lies, they unconsciously make small gestures to cover up their unease, while their eyes inadvertently disclose true information.”

”So I think, the place Mr. Huang’s eyes kept darting to is very likely where we’ll find the Gate of Life!”

Huo Sining looked at Gu Xu in surprise, never expecting the reconnaissance courses in the military to involve such intricate details, even employing psychology.

Though surprised, the pressing matter was still to find that keyhole, so they all couldn’t help but look at Gu Xu with eyes full of admiration and anticipation: ”Where is the Gate of Life?”
