Chapter 462 I Don't Want to Hear
"Xiaohe, these earrings are beautiful. Mother picked them out especially for me. Come and help me put them on so we can go see Mother!"
"Oh, okay, Xiao..." Xiaohe's hand, which was holding the earrings from the dressing case, was startled by the sudden kicking open of the door. The earrings fell to the ground with a "thud," and the gemstones embedded in them shattered instantly.
She trembled, her heart pounding: "Young...Young Miss!"
Jiang Jiao'er turned her head to look at the sound. She was about to get angry and scold the blind maid who dared to trespass into her room, but unexpectedly, she saw Jiang Liqian, who was completely unharmed, against the light.
She immediately screamed in fright, her face drained of color, and she fell off the stool to the ground, her legs trembling.
"A ghost...a ghost!"
"You, you stay away! If you want to take my life, don't come after me. It wasn't me who killed you! Go away, go away now!"
With a cold expression, Jiang Liqian stepped into the room, approaching her as if she were looking at a dead person.
Jiang Jiao'er scrambled backward in a panic, shouting, "Xiao He, stop her! Stop her quickly!"
Xiaohe dared not disobey her mistress. Although she was completely frightened by the murderous intent in Jiang Liqian's eyes, she still stood in front of Jiang Liqian with a pale face and trembling body, gritting her teeth and spreading her arms.
"Young...Young Miss, even though I've taken your place for many years,...but it's not your fault. I've been taking care of your parents for many years too. You...you can't..."
“I’ll only say this once,” Jiang Liqian stared coldly into her eyes, “Get out of my way.”
Although her face was expressionless, Xiaohe was still so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Jiang Liqian bypassed her and went straight to Jiang Jiao'er, who had crawled under the table to hide.
Through the conversation just now, Jiang Jiao'er had recovered a bit from the shock and realized that Jiang Liqian was not dead at all. She was perfectly fine and had no injuries whatsoever. She had only scared herself. Her expression immediately changed.
She had already helped those good-for-nothings, and yet...
Anger, resentment, disgust, jealousy... all sorts of emotions swirled in her eyes. Although she didn't dare to come out from under the table, she still straightened her chest and mustered her courage to shout at Jiang Liqian: "Stop! You stop right there!"
"Jiang Liqian, don't think that just because you're a disciple of the Heavenly Qian Sect's Grandmaster Chongdao, I'm afraid of you. If you want to mess with me, you'd better think twice about the status of the second young lady of the Jiang family... Ah—!"
A piercing scream instantly shattered the roof.
A bloody arm, along with a table that had been split in half, was buried in the flying wood chips.
"...My arm!"
“My arm!!”
“Ahhhh——!!!”
Jiang Jiao'er collapsed in a pool of blood, writhing in agony. Her exquisite and expensive hairpins and ornaments clattered and fell off, and her precious and gorgeous ceremonial dress was stained with blood.
Jiang Liqian looked down at Jiang Jiao'er on the ground, her face contorted in pain like a convulsing maggot, her eyes filled with icy coldness.
She was clearly on the same level as everyone else, yet she somehow made people feel like she was a high and mighty deity, looking down with disdain and indifference at the life, death, joy, and sorrow of ants.
Upon witnessing such a cruel scene, Xiaohe screamed and fainted.
Jiang Jiao'er, who most wanted to faint, was unable to do so because of the intense pain.
Jiang Liqian didn't immediately pierce her heart. Instead, she casually lifted her chin with the tip of her sword, tilted her head, and asked, "I'm curious, how did you put the Snow Beauty Fragrance on me? I destroyed that bracelet as soon as I got it."
Jiang Jiao'er was in so much pain that she wanted to back away, but the cold tip of the sword was not far from her neck. She didn't dare to move too much, even as she trembled. However, when faced with Jiang Liqian's question, she pretended to be completely clueless.
Tears and snot streamed down her face, and her voice trembled as she said, "I...I don't know what you're talking about! You...you did this to me for no reason...for no reason at all. Brother, Mother and the others will never let you get away with this!"
"And there's my father, he... he loves me the most, he'll definitely get justice for me!"
An impatient look flashed across her eyes for a moment. Without uttering a single word, Jiang Liqian decisively raised her sword, preparing to cut off her other arm as well.
She's heard far too much nonsense from people.
Sometimes, she really doesn't want to listen.
A flash of cold light, followed not by a bloodied arm rolling to the ground again, but by the clang of metal clashing against metal.
Jiang Liqian turned her head, and a person rushed in through the door. He raised his hand to sheathe his sword, and in a flash, he stood in front of Jiang Jiao'er, who was already terrified.
"Senior Brother Jiang." Jiang Li raised her eyes expressionlessly, her voice uttered slowly and coldly. She gripped the sword in her hand tightly, its shadow flashing with purple light, exuding a chilling aura.
Jiang Junze stared in disbelief at the scene before him—his second sister had lost an arm and was lying on the ground groaning in pain, while his youngest sister stood coldly in front of him, holding a long sword, blood still dripping from its blade… The room reeked of blood!
Is this still his adorable, sensible, and obedient little sister?
How could she harm her own sister?!
"Little sister, what are you doing? Jiao'er is your sister. Even if you don't acknowledge her, you can't kill her like this. Which of the sect's rules or your family's rules taught you to do this?!"
Jiang Liqian was so angry that she laughed.
"Senior Brother Jiang, are you trying to show off your seniority to me?"
"Little sister!"
Jiang Liqian raised her sword, the tip pointing at him: "You have no right to lecture me!"
She paused, then chuckled softly, her eyes filled with sarcasm: "Senior Brother Jiang, make a choice. If you choose me, step aside and don't delay my killing. If you choose her, don't blame me for killing you too. Swords have no eyes; I won't distinguish who deserves to die and who doesn't."
Jiang Junze never expected that just leaving the sect would cause her to become so fierce, to the point that he would have to make such a choice.
Both are his sisters, one he's known for years, and the other is his blood relative. How can he choose?
He couldn't just stand by and watch her commit such a grave mistake. If he struck her with that sword, she would be expelled from the family register and the sect!
He took a deep breath and stared intently at Jiang Liqian: "Little sister, give me a reason to kill her. You are my own sister. No matter who it is for, I will not let you go astray and do nothing about it."
It's so verbose and troublesome.
Jiang Liqian's eyes turned cold, her sword flashed, and she directly slashed out.
Each sword strike was sharp and deadly, aimed directly at vital points, showing no mercy.
Jiang Junze had no choice but to retreat to defend himself, but he dared not really hurt her. Instead, he was restrained and ended up with several sword cuts on his body.
Jiang Liqian dodged him, then turned her sword tip and attacked Jiang Jiao'er, who was trying to sneak away.
