Chapter 84: How Should She Respond
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qin Silong took a step closer, urging Qin Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, tell Fourth Brother, did you have the same dream?”
Feeling apprehensive, Qin Zhenzhen hesitated to answer.
She carefully observed Qin Silong and noticed a significant change in him. He appeared more mature and his aura seemed to exude a sense of danger.
Recalling his role as a chiliarch in the book, she understood that he must have slain numerous enemies on the battlefield, which could have heightened his current murderous intent.
Qin Zhenzhen no longer had any doubts. She realized that Qin Silong must have been reborn.
Speculating that his rebirth occurred today and that he had become suspicious of her peculiarities, he sought her out without delay.
If Qin Silong truly experienced rebirth, he must be aware of their sister’s recent death, which had occurred ten days ago.
Yet he still posed the same question to her.
Was he suspecting that she was not their real sister? Would he resort to killing her once his suspicions were confirmed?
She knew she stood no chance against Qin Silong, who had once been a chiliarch.
In the face of his unwavering gaze, Qin Zhenzhen devised a plan. “Fourth Brother, I am incredibly frightened. I am uncertain if it was a dream, but I did go through a real death..
Qin Silong inquired, “What did you dream about? How did you die?”
Qin Zhenzhen’s palms grew clammy as she forced herself to continue, “I fainted after hitting my forehead. Then, I dreamt that I died and became a wandering ghost…”
Qin Silong became visibly anxious. “And then? Can you see what happens next?”
Observing the disappearance of the murderous look in Qin Silong’s eyes, Qin Zhenzhen began to sympathize with her late sister. She composed herself and continued to fabricate her story.
“I became a ghost. I could see and hear everything, but no one could see or hear me,” Qin Zhenzhen continued, her voice filled with anguish. “I could strike anyone, but they would feel nothing. I could pass through walls and other objects, floating around aimlessly, but I was powerless to intervene…”
“I witnessed what happened next. You intended to avenge me by attacking Su Bin, triggering a chaotic battle between the two factions. Second Brother was stabbed and fell to the ground, and Su Qing’s life was tragically cut short by your hand..
“I tried to stop you, but my efforts were in vain. You were still stabbed…”
In an attempt to make the story appear authentic, Qin Zhenzhen pretended to have tears in her eyes, projecting distress and sorrow.
Qin Silong, accustomed to doting on his sister, felt his heart ache. He pulled Qin Zhenzhen into his embrace.
“Zhenzhen, let it go. Fourth Brother also dreamt of what transpired next…
“Zhenzhen, it is our brothers’ fault. We should never have forced you to marry su Bin!”
“We caused you and your entire family immense pain!”
“I will never forgive that wretched man!”
Qin Zhenzhen, unaccustomed to being held in a man’s arms, even if it was her own body’s brother, felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
Though she had been embraced by her brothers many times in her childhood, it was her previous self, not her current existence.
“Fourth Brother, when did you have this dream? Why are you asking me now?” Qin Zhenzhen pushed away from Qin Silong.
Qin Silong spoke truthfully, “I came to you the moment I woke up from my afternoon nap!”
“I dreamt that as I rose through the ranks in the army and became a chiliarch, I was ultimately slain by that scoundrel and his bandits..
