Chapter 249: The Origin of Aunt Zhang (5)
"Little Sister, Aunt Zhang, she...?" An Zhiyan carefully asked, responsible for protecting the elderly woman.
An Yiqing crouched beside Aunt Zhang, extended her finger to check her breath, and frowned, "She’s dead."
"Dead?!" Kong Shi exclaimed, ignoring her son’s attempt to stop her and hastily ran to An Yiqing’s side, worriedly asking, "Niuniu, are you all right? Are you hurt?"
"Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry," An Yiqing stood up and soothed Kong Shi, "You, Dad, Grandpa, and Grandma should go back to your rooms first. You’ve been frightened today; you should rest well. I’ll call Ah Lin and ask him to send some people over to take the body to ’Red Thorn,’ and I will study it."
"Then you must be careful. A corpse has a strong yin energy, which is not good for a girl’s body. You and Lao San should come back early," Kong Shi repeatedly admonished with concern before she and An Zisheng went upstairs.
After the elders returned to their rooms, only the three An siblings were left in the hall.
"Little Sister, have you discovered anything?" An Zhihang adjusted his glasses and looked at An Yiqing, who was crouched next to the body, and asked calmly.
The girl carefully observed the corpse’s complexion and shook her head gently, "Nothing for now, but there’s definitely something odd about this Aunt Zhang. There are very few Ancient Martial Artists in the world that even Ah Lin fails to detect. Her strength is even less than mine, so unless she had some kind of treasure on her or had been tampered with, Ah Lin wouldn’t have failed to notice."
After hearing An Yiqing’s words, An Zhiyan annoyed tugged at his hair. The stern facade he maintained as an instructor in the special forces was nowhere to be seen, and he fretfully said, "If Big Brother and I could cultivate ancient martial arts, you wouldn’t have to shoulder all of the An Family’s burdens alone."
