Go Find Him; Leave the Rest to Me

Once it was confirmed that Ha Duo Ke had completely stopped breathing, He Wei Ni Ya's taut nerves and her body, already pushed to its limit, finally gave way. She collapsed to her knees with a "plop," gasping for breath, with streaks of bright red blood occasionally spurting from her throat.

"Actually, there was absolutely no need to go this far." At this moment, Bai Wei's voice rang in her mind. "You clearly had many more ways to win, but those two snaps at the beginning wiped out all other possibilities. Hmm... how should I put it? Your combat skills still need some refinement. It seems your school's teaching in this area isn't very good."

While wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, He Wei Ni Ya replied in a low voice, "The courses related to combat are all in the third year and beyond."

"I see. It seems you're self-taught," Bai Wei said with a smile. "Then I'd give you a passing grade."

... Is it a passing grade?

Upon hearing this, He Wei Ni Ya subconsciously raised her head and looked at Ha Duo Ke, who was already dead. Even though her expression didn't change much, she still felt somewhat incredulous.

After all, this was the first time she had personally defeated such a powerful player.

This is unlike the time a few days ago when she faced Ariana, where she used her body as bait and exploded along with Ariana.

This time, she truly defeated Ha Duo Ke with her own hands (of course, with Bai Wei's fingers still stuck in her hands), and the feeling was very different.

However, He Wei Ni Ya also knew the reason.

It was Bai Wei who was in command.

When she rashly snapped her fingers twice, the price she paid pushed her to the brink of despair. It was Bai Wei's calm and unhurried guidance that told her what to do at each step, when to use which spell, and even perfectly predicted Ha Duo Ke's every move.

How could this not shock He Wei Ni Ya?

It should be noted that after those two consecutive snaps, He Wei Ni Ya had not actually used Bai Wei's power anymore, except to broaden her vision in the white mist. Even so, Bai Wei still commanded her half-crippled body to defeat the two musicians who were far stronger than her.

It was as if Bai Wei understood her body better than He Wei Ni Ya herself, and understood the psychology of the two musicians opposite her better than Hevinia herself.

Ha Duo Ke's "Puppet Thread" merely physically controlled their actions, while Bai Wei seemed to be psychologically weaving a future for each person with those invisible strings.

It was as if he had fought Ha Duo Ke countless times before.

Therefore, all of Ha Duo Ke's actions and schemes were like a clown performing a dull dance in Bai Wei's palm.

He looked down on everything.

This deeply shocked He Wei Ni Ya; in fact, the pressure it exerted on her was far greater than the rules sealed within these body parts.

"What? Not satisfied with your passing grade?" Bai Wei asked with a smile.

He Wei Ni Ya snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, "No, I'm very satisfied."

After speaking, He Wei Ni Ya stood up, and her pale cheeks had regained most of their color.

Bai Wei also noticed this.

It truly lives up to its name as the Golden Score; it recovered so quickly.

They were able to maintain that level of fighting even after snapping their fingers twice in a row.

This is something that only Jie La Er, who can share the burden with his mechanical prosthetics, could do. If it were Ulu, he would probably faint after just two snaps of his fingers.

The key point isn't the two snaps themselves, but the two consecutive snaps with less than a minute between them, which put a significant strain on the body.

Just like self-venting twice a day isn't scary, but self-venting twice a minute is quite scary.

This is absolutely the best body I've ever used.

If Bai Wei had taken over the body just now, he could have easily killed the trio even without using his own power, since they had fought each other countless times in the game.

However, this body is probably the most difficult to control of the three.

Moreover, the Lord of Holy Sound we are facing this time is not a deity like Lyra who is on her last breath; this one is still in her prime.

But...

Bai Wei raised He Wei Ni Ya's eyebrows.

That makes it more interesting, doesn't it?

He Wei Ni Ya had no idea what Bai Wei was thinking. During her short rest, she cast two healing spells on herself and fully recovered before walking back to Ha Duo Ke.

To be precise, he walked up to the musician named Xiao En who was hanging on Ha Duo Ke.

Yes, the musician is not dead yet, but he is very close to dying.

When He Wei Ni Ya manipulated the [Puppet Thread], she also pierced his body, but she avoided vital organs, preventing him from following Ha Duo Ke on the road immediately.

He Wei Ni Ya walked up to Xiao En, with only his last breath, stared intently at her, his eyes seeming to want to kill.

However, He Wei Ni Ya didn't care. She asked directly, "How many people in the Te Lei Er Family still know my identity?"

Xiao En remained silent, staring intently at He Wei Ni Ya, clearly unwilling to tell her.

However, He Wei Ni Ya didn't expect Xiao En to tell her that, so she took a deep breath, made sure she was ready, and then slowly spoke in a very low voice.

"I command you to tell me the truth."

Xiao En almost laughed.

Even though he was about to die, he still wanted to leave this monstrous woman with a mocking smile before he died.

Do you think I'll tell you just like that?

You won't get the answer from me.

You...

"Mr. Xie Er Fu."

Xiao En's smile froze instantly.

Who is speaking?

Why are there still people who know the truth?!

Xiao En looked around frantically, trying to see who had leaked the information.

Then...

Who is Xie Er Fu?

"It's Terrell's butler, Mr. Xie Er Fu."

The sound appeared again.

The panic in Xiao En's eyes turned into terror at that moment.

Because he discovered that the person speaking... was himself.

He was answering He Wei Ni Ya!

It's him!

But how is that possible?!

Xiao En discovered that his body was completely out of his control, and not just his body.

When He Wei Ni Ya asked again, "Who else could it be but him?" his brain immediately began to ponder the answer, and his almost numb mouth slowly opened.

His entire being seemed intent on answering He Wei Ni Ya's question.

But he himself couldn't control himself.

"No, it's only Mr. Xie Er Fu."

No, I can't say, I can't say!

"This news cannot be known to too many people, even within the family."

I can't tell! I absolutely can't tell!

Once the words are spoken, the Te Lei Er Family's last hope will be extinguished!

"The master had instructed Mr. Xie Er Fu in advance that if we failed to return on time..."

Shut up! Shut up now!

Xiao En desperately tried to stop himself from speaking, even contemplating biting his tongue to commit suicide, but as the owner of this body, he was unable to control any part of it.

"... Mr Xie Er Fu will take this message to the Primordial Family and ask them to protect the Te Lei Er Family."

In utter despair, Xiao En blurted out everything.

Only then did he feel that his body was back under his control.

But what's the point of that?

It's over, it's all over.

Without them, and without the protection of the Primordial Family, the Te Lei Er Family would never be able to maintain its current status.

Terrell's descendants, his children, will no longer be called nobles.

They will fall into the civilian zone, or even... the Seed Zone.

Because they possess equally excellent scales, yet they are not excellent players.

Xiao En could already see that tragic future, so he used his last bit of strength to yell at He Wei Ni Ya, who had done all this.

"Freak! You freak who came from the Seed Zone!"

"The Lord will not protect you! Absolutely not!"

"I curse you to fall into hell! I curse you to be the cheapest breeding tool for generations to come!"

Faced with Xiao En's final verbal attack, He Wei Ni Ya remained unusually calm and did not refute him.

She spoke softly only when Xiao En had exhausted all his strength, used up his last bit of life, and died with his head tilted to the side, eyes wide open.

"But I originally came from the Seed Zone."

Unfortunately, Xiao En can no longer hear it.

After saying that, He Wei Ni Ya suddenly clutched her throat and began spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

"To be honest, you're the most skilled at using my power among all my partners, and the only one who dares to use it so recklessly even after knowing the price to pay for it," Bai Wei said with a smile. "You really aren't afraid of death."

He Wei Ni Ya wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth again and said, "If I don't use it, I might die tomorrow."

After speaking, He Wei Ni Ya paused for a moment, then asked another question.

What should I do?

"Um?"

"That man named Xie Er Fu must be dealt with immediately," He Wei Ni Ya said softly, "But I have no other choice."

"Don't worry," Bai Wei said with a smile. "Just go find him, I'll take care of things."

"Grandpa Xie Er Fu! Grandpa Xie Er Fu!"

The little girl's innocent voice woke Xie Er Fu from his reverie.

"Look at this!"

Xie Er Fu looked down and saw a little girl holding up a musical note made of folded paper, happily tiptoeing and showing it off in front of him.

His furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile, "Well done, Miss."

The little girl blinked. "Grandpa Xie Er Fu, do you know which sound this is?"

"Grandpa doesn't know, Miss, can you tell me?"

"The Three Sound, it's the Three Sound!" The little girl tugged at her collar, revealing the lines beneath her fair neck. "It's my Three Sound!"

"The Three Sound, Miss, you did a really good job."

The little girl giggled, then looked around and asked, "Grandpa Xie Er Fu, where did Daddy go? I want Daddy to see me. And my sister, why didn't she come back?"

When the little girl mentioned her sister, Xie Er Fu's smile froze for a moment.

Then he reached out and gently stroked the little girl's head. "Miss Daphne probably won't be able to come back this year."

Why?

"She has something very important to do."

The little girl softly said, "Dad also told me that my sister has important things to do and I shouldn't bother her."

"Yes." Xie Er Fu nodded with a smile.

But he felt uneasy because he knew that Daphne was very likely dead.

The master also embarked on the same path.

Although Xie Er Fu knew that since the master had personally taken charge, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But will it really go that smoothly?

Was it really worth sacrificing the young lady and taking such a huge risk?

Even if they really obtained the Golden Scroll, could the Te Lei Er Family, with their strength, truly play the Seven Sound Divine Song?

Xie Er Fu didn't know that he only knew he had to protect the child in front of him no matter what.

Anyway.

Just then, a carriage suddenly stopped in front of the Te Lei Er Family.

The little girl immediately cheered with joy. "Daddy's home!"

He was about to rush forward when Xie Er Fu stopped him first.

He stared intently at the carriage.

Because that is.

Hai Luo Family's carriage!

Why, it had to be the Hai Luo Family?!

Where is the master?!

Where is the young lady?!

A series of questions flooded Xie Er Fu's mind, and the carriage window slowly opened.

A face that Xie Er Fu least wanted to see appeared before him.

"Hi, Grandpa Xie Er Fu ... right?" He Wei Ni Ya smiled brightly. "Where's Daphne? I've come to pick her up so we can go to school together."

At that moment, Xie Er Fu felt like his heart and lungs were about to stop.

"It's Sister He Wei Ni Ya!"

The little girl naturally recognized He Wei Ni Ya and was about to rush over with joy, but Xie Er Fu held her back tightly.

"It's Ma Sha." He Wei Ni Ya chatted with the little girl in a very friendly manner, as if she knew nothing about her. "You've grown taller and taller."

"Yes, yes, Sister He Wei Ni Ya!"

The two chatted intimately from a distance of more than ten meters, just like sisters.

Only Xie Er Fu looked terrible; he looked at He Wei Ni Ya's beautiful face as if he were looking at a demon.

He had already placed his hand on the staff behind him.

Even though countless people are watching this place, because the carriage is parked on the main road, and the Hai Luo Family's insignia has attracted the longing gazes of countless passersby, theoretically, He Wei Ni Ya wouldn't dare to make a move at this time.

But Xie Er Fu was still very scared.

Because the Te Lei Er Family's last hope rested on him alone.

While He Wei Ni Ya was talking to Ma Sha, her gaze remained fixed on him, making him realize that He Wei Ni Ya already knew everything.

This means that the master has failed.

Xie Er Fu's palms, gripping the staff, were already sweaty. He didn't know how long this "chat" had lasted before He Wei Ni Ya called him again, "Mr. Xie Er Fu, isn't Daphne home?"

He snapped back to his senses and looked at He Wei Ni Ya again.

He Wei Ni Ya is smiling.

He opened his mouth and said with difficulty, "Miss Daphne... is not home."

"I see." He Wei Ni Ya nodded with a hint of regret. "Alright, I'll go to school by myself then. Happy Seven Sound Festival, little Ma Sha."

"Happy Seven Sound Festival Syllable!" Ma Sha, completely unaware of the danger, waved her hand vigorously.

Then the carriage drove away.

Xie Er Fu was already covered in a cold sweat.

What's going on here?

He Wei Ni Ya just left like that?

Was He Wei Ni Ya unaware that he knew the truth, or was she giving him a warning to keep quiet?

Xie Er Fu couldn't understand it.

But he knew what he should do at that moment.

The master instructed that if they did not return, he would go to the Primordial Family.

This is a monster! The Primordial Family must kill her!

We must not delay, and we must not take any chances!

For the sake of the Te Lei Er Family, he must act now.

Thinking of this, Xie Er Fu immediately stood up, hurriedly pressed Ma Sha's shoulder and gave her a few words of advice before turning around and running outside.

But after running only two steps, he felt lightheaded.

It's like flying.

Then, the world spun around.

He saw Ma Sha standing there, stunned.

It was his hand on Ma Sha's shoulder.

Finally, amidst the little girl's devastating screams, everything vanished into darkness.
