Chapter 766 Second Layer Of Skin



As soon as Song Yan knocked on the door, Chen Chu Chu's delicate voice came out from the inside, " Come in." 

Song Yan pushed the door open and saw that the two Chen sisters were sitting inside the room, Chen Xi was weakly lying on the bed while Chen Chu Chu was cutting bunny-shaped apple pieces for her sister when the two sisters saw that the one who walked inside was Song Yan, their eyes flashed with a glint which they hid in time. 

eαglesnᴏνel " Second Madam Fu, you are here?" Chen Chu Chu stood up from the chair and then pleasantly greeted Song Yan before pulling her close to Chen Xi's bed. She looked extremely enthusiastic as she pulled Song Yan, " Sister Yan what are you doing here? Did my parents call you? I am so sorry, I asked them to call a doctor since little Xi is awake and out of danger but who would have thought that they will look for you again?" 

Song Yan glanced at the weak Chen Xi who was tapping on the screen of her phone acting as if she was not listening to their conversation at all and shook her head before replying, "It's all right, I was not troubled at all. Miss Xi had saved my brother-in-law, it's my duty that I should come and show my gratitude to her." 

" Its good that you know," muttered Chen Xi loud enough for Song Yan to hear causing Chen Chu Chu to glare at her younger sister before she turned to look at Song Yan and then apologised in a soft voice, " I apologise, she has been spoiled rotten by my mother but she does not have a bad heart." 

After she was done speaking to Song Yan, she turned to look at Chen Xi and then said, " Little Xi be polite with sister Yan, she was the one who came to save you last night, if not for her, you would be locked up in the same quarantine room as Brother Deming." 

Chen Chu Chu's words caused Chen Xi to roll her eyes as she turned to the side and ignored her sister causing Chen Chu Chu to smile awkwardly as she looked at Song Yan before she shook her head and then took Song Yan's hand and started speaking, " I did not expect that you were this capable, Sister Yan. I heard from my brother that your master is Celestial Master Gu. I heard that he is extremely powerful, are you at the same level as him?" 

As she asked one question after another even though her eyes were filled with feigned innocence, she could not hide the probing look in them. Song Yan felt a current crawling up her hand which she rejected without letting it go up any further and then innocently replied, " I am still learning, it's nothing. My skills are still lacking when compared to my master, I have to rely on him for everything, it is a good thing that he does not mind my lacking skills." 

Song Yan took a look at the probing look of Chen Chu Chu who was still acting as if she was simply curios and then added, " I just started learning these things a few months ago after my accident where I almost died, my master told me that I attracted something dirty and unclean which was why he asked me to learn small skills which will help me save my life in time of need and nothing else." 

Chen Chu Chu however was still trying to inject her demonic energy inside Song Yan but each time she tried to pry into Song Yan's spiritual energy the talisman that she was wearing around her neck would retaliate against her, Chen Chu Chu gritted her teeth inwardly but on the outside, she smiled at Song Yan trying to hide her probing look. 

She really did not take this woman seriously before but now that she had seen her skills last night, she could not help but be a bit wary of this woman. Even though this woman only knew a little, she was Celestial Master Gu's disciple, which might put her and her sister in danger. 

Should she kill her now? Thought Chen Chu Chu as she looked at the unsuspecting Song Yan, she did not know how skilled Song Yan was but Celestial Master Gu can definitely put her in danger.

However then another thought came into her head, Celestial Master Gu was in locked cave cultivation for the next six months till then this woman will be gone, there was no need for her to worry about her and celestial master Gu at all and even if they were to come and attack her, compared to her master who had been cultivating on the surface of this years for hundreds of years, this woman was nothing. 

Even Celestial Master Gu was not a match for her master. 

Song Yan did not act perturbed at all, she knew that just now Chen Chu Chu was looking at her with a murderous glint in her eyes, she even detected the intention to kill from this woman just now but she did not show any anxiousness on her face, instead, she calmly smiled at Chen Chu Chu and said with a soft voice,  " By the way, I have to say that Miss Chu Chu and Miss Xi are really close with each other. Last night I saw that Miss Xi had the same tattoo as you, Miss Chu Chu." 

When Chen Chu Chu heard Song Yan mention their tattoos, she stiffened but upon seeing the unperturbed and clean gaze of Song Yan, she thought that the latter had not sensed anything amiss and quickly regained her composure before saying, "… It was us being naughty and rebellious, I wish that we did not get these tattoos when we were young but what can we do? Mistakes of the past are hard to erase." 

" That is indeed the case," agreed Song Yan before thinking of something and adding as she reached out to catch hold of Chen Xi's wrist who finally turned over and said, " Then you can go and get them erased as well, maybe you should go to the shop where you got them, it will be easier." She let go of Chen Xi's wrist without doing anything and said, " You are doing much better now, Miss Xi. Just remember to eat a lot of things that are dense in Yang energy and you will be fine." 

" Thank you," said Chen Xi as she exchanged a look with Chen Chu Chu but before the two could say anything else, Song Yan smiled and said,  "Now that I am done checking on Miss Xi, I think I should leave." 

Seeing that she was leaving Chen Chu Chu asked her to stay behind but Song Yan smiled and told her that she was busy before leaving. 

Once she turned around and left, Chen Chu Chu's gentle smile turned sinister.
