23: Fan Yaoli's Death

Chapter 23: Fan Yaoli's Death

Fan Yaoli did not see that her step would be the 100th step of the stone stair of the Imperial Palace.

She lost her balance and fell from the top.

"Jie Jie!" Zexel used her Qinggong and rushed to Fan Yaoli. But everything was already too late. Fan Yaoli was now on the ground, bleeding and without breath.

"Quickly call a physician!" Zexel said. But no one even followed her. She didn’t have a choice but to personally check the pulse of Fan Yaoli.

She was right. Fan Yaoli was already dead. Zexel remembered that Fan Yaoli would die because of poison and starvation. So she did everything to improve her body and prevent poisoning.

Who knew, her death was already her destiny. No matter what Zexel did, Fan Yaoli would die, and the transmigrated assassin would occupy her body.

"She still has a pulse," Zexel said. She quickly brought out her acupuncture needle from her Pagoda and pressed the needle to Fan Yaoli's acupoint so that the bleeding would stop.

A lot of people gossiped around them and saw how skillful Zexel was in performing the acupuncture. Even her father and her mother were stunned that Zexel knew this kind of skill.

Just a while ago, Fan Qinyou was celebrating inside, since she managed to become the Crown Prince's first wife. Naturally, she would be the Empress of this nation and hold power in her hands.

Which meant her standing in the Capital would be much higher, and the gap of status between her and her competitor, Zexel, would be like heaven and earth.

But now, jealousy filled her heart again. Everyone was praising Zexel for how she performed the acupuncture. It was perfect, and even the newly arrived physician was stunned at the level of Zexel's skill.

Zexel brought out her bandage and wrapped it carefully around her sister's head and arm. Then she whistled three times, making everyone confused.

After a while, Thirty-One, Thirty-Three, and Thirty-Five appeared in front of them. She stared at them, and the three females began to take Fan Yaoli, then disappeared without saying anything. Even others did not manage to catch how the three disappeared.

"What happened?" Fan Xuan Yan asked. Zexel coldly stared at her father. The people began to leave completely, leaving the Fan Family on the ground.

"Father, you are also the father of Sister Yaoli. Why did you let her be humiliated inside the Palace? You never even saved her from being humiliated and let your pretending white lotus child get what she had. What kind of father are you?!" Zexel burst out her emotions.

After she talked, Fan Xuan Yan slapped Zexel hard, but he regretted it immediately.

"I..." Fan Xuan Yan couldn't even utter anything.

"You are a biased father. That’s what you are, Father. You only dote on the daughter you know you can use and disregard all your useless daughters. You only think of yourself, that’s why you neglected your own Di daughter for 17 years. You didn’t even know the reason why she couldn’t cultivate until now. Her meridian was blocked by someone using poison, Father. If you had even let a physician check her, she could have cultivated long ago. But what did you do?" Zexel smiled bitterly and let her tears flow down her cheeks.

"You let her experience misery and abandoned her like she wasn’t your daughter. And now, your daughter is involved in an accident. I ordered someone to call a physician, but no one even followed. What do you want to do? Let her die? You are a heartless father, too heartless," Zexel couldn’t help but cry.

It was the first time in her whole life that she couldn’t control her emotions. She was angry at her father and hated him for what he had done.

"Now, since you didn’t even treat my sister as your daughter, then I’ll cut ties with the Fan Family. From now on, I will not be connected to the Fan Family!" Zexel brought out her identity jade and immediately crushed it.

After that, she summoned the family book of the Fan Family and erased her name, which shocked everyone in the Fan Family.

Not only her name but also Fan Yaoli's name. A blue light appeared on the book, and in just a second, everyone in the Capital knew that she had no title anymore and was now a commoner.

"Lihua, don’t do this. Your mother begs you!" Cheng You An knew that if her daughter cut ties with the Fan Family, her standing in the Fu would be reduced. She was embracing her thigh as if she were a koala.

It was hard to bear a child and protect it for years in the Fu. A lot of concubines had miscarriages before because of everyone's schemes.

"You cut ties with our family because of that bitch?" Zexel stared coldly at Cheng You An.

In just a second, she flew away from Zexel—too far from her. Nobody even saw what Zexel did to her own mother. Even Fan Qinyou was scared to the point that she lost her balance and dropped to the ground.

Now, Zexel displayed her real cultivation that had been disguised as Low Intermediary Spiritualist.

She was clearly a Low Earthly Spiritualist.

"Who are you to call my sister a bitch? You are clearly a bitch since you used me as your shield and even arrogantly told everyone that I am your daughter. But may I ask you? When did you even take care of me? Clearly, you only remember that I am your daughter if you are already in a critical situation," Zexel was emitting a dangerous aura, and her face didn’t even express any emotion.

"Fan Lihua, stop causing trouble!" Fan Xuan Yan angrily said. Zexel just stared at him like he was nothing in her eyes.
