C13 Death! Her Methods!

After returning from Mrs. Soong's, Soong Xuerou was in a foul mood. She was frustrated that her plan against Soong Xueling had failed yesterday, and today, she was outsmarted by Soong Xuenuan, ending up hurt. She was so upset that she skipped dinner.

Just when she thought her day couldn't get any worse, news arrived from outside the house. Lvrue, looking pale, walked in hesitantly and said, "Miss, the two... the two troublemakers you arranged for yesterday have been found."

"They've finally been found? Where are they now? I need to personally deal with those useless idiots. I sent them to humiliate that wretch Soong Xueling, and they dared to run off!" Soong Xuerou's anger flared even more at this news.

Lvrue kept her head down, her voice barely audible, "Miss, they... they're dead."

"Dead? Well, they actually..." Soong Xuerou began to rant but stopped mid-sentence, her tone shifting, "What did you say? They're dead? How is that possible? How did they die?"

Lvrue's voice dropped even lower, "The word outside is that they committed suicide."

"Suicide?! Those two were always up to no good, causing trouble wherever they went. How could they possibly have committed suicide?" Soong Xuerou shouted, clearly not believing it.

Lvrue was so frightened she almost fell to her knees, "Miss, the news is absolutely true. The details of how they died are all... very clear."

This is also why Green's face was so pale.

"How did they die?" Soong Xuerou asked instinctively.

"One was cut into a thousand pieces, and the other drowned," Green replied quickly, eyes closed.

Soong Xuerou was shocked. Suicide, being cut into pieces, drowning alive... She collapsed into a chair, her face turning pale. Why... why did those two...

Her thoughts were racing, but she never considered Soong Xueling's involvement, just as Soong Xueling herself was unaware of whether those two thugs were dead or how they died. After all, if those two hadn't killed anyone else, they wouldn't have ended up killing themselves in such brutal ways.

Even if Soong Xueling found out about this, she'd probably just raise an eyebrow in acknowledgment and move on. She had more important things to do than worry about the fate of strangers.

In the two days after Chu Yuan left, Soong Xueling had been searching for a way to unlock the seal in her mind. Although she hadn't made much progress, she at least understood the maximum amount of psychic force she could utilize.

It was strange; no matter how much psychic force she used, when it fully recovered, it always returned to a stable level. It felt as if her mind could only hold a certain amount of psychic force.

In Soong Xueling's mind, a bold theory suddenly emerged: could it be that the ancient seal in her mind wasn't holding back psychic force itself, but rather a space capable of containing it? If that's the case, where did this seal come from, and why does it exist?

More questions kept popping up, but Xueling couldn't find any answers. She furrowed her brow and sighed inwardly.

"Hey, what's got you sighing again?" A familiar voice suddenly interrupted Xueling's deep thoughts.

She looked up and met Chu Yuan's bright eyes. "You're here, Your Highness."

"Hey there, I personally hunted down a pretty impressive beast for you. Interested in taming it?" Chu Yuan asked with a smile.

Xueling blinked. Why did it seem like the emphasis in Chu Yuan's words was more on "personally" than on "beast"?
