Chapter 232 Should Be Dead

"It's nothing," Song Yan turned her gaze away from the young girl. The Wu family has especially built a special staircase for the young girl's convenience and currently, she was being pushed down the staircase by a man behind her wheelchair who had a doting smile on his face as if he wanted to pluck out the stars and lay them down under the feet of his sister.

She didn't know the young girl but she did know the man who was pushing her, he was the eldest son of the Wu family. If she wasn't wrong then Wu Dang never married anyone and only poured all his love and care onto his young sister. Rumours about the youngest princess of the Wu family being born with a sick body could be heard every day in their circle. Song Yan has heard all about this sick princess from the women when she used to attend banquets even now she could hear the women discussing the sickly princess.

' The Wu family's daughter is pretty but it is such a pity that she was born with a congenital disease, I heard that she won't even survive past eighteen.'

'I know right, just look at her. She looks like an angel with that small palm-size face and dewy eyes, if not for her congenital disease I would have asked her hand for my son in a jiffy.'

'Pfft, you really know how to jest! Haven't you heard? The eldest master of the Wu family is someone who dotes on his younger sister the most. I don't think he will accept anyone lesser than him as his sister's bridegroom.'

' You have to be joking, if the eldest master wants someone of his calibre then there is only one person who can match up to him….'

'Shh, can't you see that he is here with his wife?'

While they were talking their gazes were locked on Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng throughout the time.

Song Yan heard their gossip and so did Fu Yu Sheng, his expression turned sour before he turned to look at Song Yan. But when he turned his head, he realised that she was already looking at him. " Yan'er …."

" Humph, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere you go," she snorted interrupting him before turning her head to look at the sick princess of the Wu family. Fu Yu Sheng knew that he was being disdained and felt his heart suffer a blow —— why was he being scolded? It wasn't as if he was asking the bees and butterflies to come and swarm up to him.

​ Song Yan didn't care whether her words hurt her husband, instead, all her attention was on the sickly princess. She, with the help of Wu Dang finally came down the staircase and was at once surrounded by the members of the Wu family even the women of the Wu family, who were worried about their children walked up to the sickly princess and carefully asked about how she was feeling with concern lining their faces.

" That girl should be dead," after a very long pause, Fang Yanli floated next to Song Yan and commented. " Her organs seemed to have failed for long, so how are they still working?"

This question was something that Song Yan had in her head as well, there was a huge black mist behind of cadaveric qi behind the young girl with this alone —- - Song Yan could figure out that the girl should have never crossed her twelfth birthday but instead, here she was smiling and talking at the tender age of eighteen.

So, the question was how did the girl do it? How in the world did she manage to survive past her twelfth birthday when her lifeline was supposed to end that day? Like Fang Yanli said the girl's body was damaged to the point that she could be counted as dead, so her being alive in such a condition —— Song Yan's eyes flickered as she turned on her vision.

The surrounding areas around her cooled down instantly and the guests standing next to her shivered before taking a glimpse of the air conditioner that was turned on.

" It doesn't seem like it's broken," one of them commented dumbly.

Fu Yu Sheng knew that this chill had something to do with his wife, so he acted along with the others making himself shiver.

On the other hand, Song Yan used her vision to look at the soul of the young girl and it was just as she thought her soul was completely out of equilibrium with her body. The soul was supposed to depart six years ago but somehow it has been tied inside the body of the girl but how?

If the soul became incompatible with the body it will depart to the netherworld, that was the law, but why was it that the law didn't seem to be working on this young Miss of the Wu family?

She didn't know any warlock or master with cultivation high enough to tie a soul when it wanted to move on to another life.

So, who could possibly accomplish this task?

Song Yan tried to look a bit more deeply, past the struggling soul of the girl but just as she tried to delve further inside of young miss Wu —— a sharp, ringing shock zapped through her head causing her to almost stumble, if not for Fu Yu Sheng who had his arm wrapped around her waist, she would have made a fool of herself.

" Are you all right?" he asked with concerns dripping from his voice and Song Yan nodded before straightening up. She might have not been able to see clearly but she was sure of one thing and that was —— something was wrong with the young miss of the Wu family.

Right now, a real powerful force retaliated against her and pushed her out—— stopping her from finding what exactly was wrong with this sickly princess of the Wu family.

But she was also a very stubborn celestial master, now that she has taken this job, she will only stop after finding out what was wrong with this young miss.
