Chapter 529 So this person is my own grandfather, Zhuang Wuzheng?
Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi were both taken aback, clearly not expecting Bai Yue to say that.
But it was only for a moment. The two acted almost simultaneously, reaching out their hands from the left and right to firmly embrace Bai Yue's waist.
When their palms touched the warm, soft skin beneath her clothes, both of them instinctively softened their touch, afraid of hurting her if they used too much force.
"go!"
Hua Mu'an gave a low shout, and the two of them pushed off the ground with both feet at the same time, carrying Bai Yue upwards at high speed!
The twins, who used to compete secretly, were now so focused on protecting Bai Yue that their movements were surprisingly synchronized, without the slightest hesitation.
In just a few breaths, they landed lightly on the platform with Bai Yue.
When they landed, the two of them deliberately slowed down and carefully put Bai Yue down. Only when she was firmly on her feet did they slowly withdraw their hands from her waist.
The lingering warmth on their fingertips made their hearts beat faster for no apparent reason, their ears turned slightly red, but their gazes remained fixed on Bai Yue.
"This person must be dead, right?"
Unfortunately, the person these twins were so deeply in love with was completely oblivious to their tender feelings.
Her gaze was fixed on the person sitting in the center of the platform, her eyes filled with shock.
He was a middle-aged man with a resolute face, but his well-defined features were covered with a deathly gray and bloodless complexion.
His eyes were closed, his lips were a lifeless bluish-gray, and his clothes were tattered and stained with dried, blackened blood.
His right arm was severed at the shoulder, but even so, his left hand still held a dark red brocade box tightly in his arms with an almost stubborn posture, as if it were the most important thing in his life.
"Strange, why do this man's eyebrows and eyes look so much like Zhuang Xiaohan's?"
Bai Yue muttered to herself, unable to resist comparing the other person's appearance with Zhuang Xiaohan's appearance in her memory, and the more she looked, the more similar they seemed.
Just then, Shen Xingmian staggered and fell to the man's side. Tears streamed down her face, and her scalding tears fell onto the man's cold clothes, instantly spreading a small dark patch.
"Brother Wuzheng... How could this happen... How could you become like this!"
She reached out her trembling hand, wanting to touch the man's cold cheek, but Luosha quickly stepped forward to stop her, her voice urgent.
"Madam, no! This corpse looks eerie; there might be danger!"
Before she could finish speaking, Zhuang Xiaoye knelt down in front of the man with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly to the lifeless body. He choked out a mournful roar.
"Old Master! Old Master!! It's Xiaoye's fault for being incompetent, it's Xiaoye's fault for being incompetent!"
"So, this is my biological grandfather?"
After listening to Shen Xingmian and Zhuang Xiaoye's words, Bai Yue instantly confirmed the man's identity: Zhuang Wuzheng, the former head of Hero Manor, who was also her grandfather.
Just then, Shen Xingmian suddenly turned her head, staring intently at Zhuang Xiaoye with tearful eyes, her voice trembling violently with extreme grief and anger.
"Xiaoye! You clearly said back then that Brother Wuzheng's old injuries had relapsed, and medicine was ineffective, so he passed away peacefully in the manor! Why is his body in this forbidden area, and in such a state?! What exactly happened at Hero Manor back then?! Tell me!"
Zhuang Xiaoye turned pale when asked the question, and the immense pain almost overwhelmed him.
His lips trembled, and just as he was about to reveal the secret buried deep in his heart for many years, a sudden change occurred!
"Hoh—!" "Roar—!"
Two hoarse, menacing growls, unlike those of a living person, suddenly came from the shadows on both sides of the platform!
Immediately afterwards, two figures with tattered clothes, like ghosts, rushed towards the crowd with a sharp gust of wind!
"Protect Master!"
Ling Xuzi let out a cold shout and moved almost simultaneously with Hua Mu'an.
Two sword lights flashed out like bolts of lightning in an instant, the cold blades precisely meeting the tall male attacker charging at the front.
"clang!"
The sword blade clashed with the opponent's fingers and claws, which were harder than refined steel, producing a piercing metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere!
On the other side, Zhuang Xiaoye and Luosha reacted quickly, instantly blocking the attack of another slightly slender but equally fierce female figure.
With the help of the fluorescent stones and searchlights, everyone was finally able to see the attacker's appearance.
They were two people with withered faces, their eyes so cloudy that the whites of their eyes were almost invisible, and their skin had an abnormal bluish-gray color, as horrifying as lividity.
Their clothes were already tattered, and their exposed skin was covered with strange dark patterns. Their joints seemed a little stiff when they moved, but it did not affect their speed and strength at all. They seemed to know nothing of pain and only knew how to attack wildly.
However, despite the drastic changes in their appearances, almost to the point of being monstrous, Shen Xingmian still gasped in disbelief when she saw the two distorted yet still vaguely discernible faces.
"Sister He! Brother Wuqiu! It's you?! You... How could you have become like this?!"
"acquaintance?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yue immediately guessed that these two neither-human-nor-ghost creatures must be closely related to Zhuang Wuzheng.
Just as Shen Xingmian, overwhelmed with emotion, instinctively tried to approach the two figures, Zhuang Xiaoye suddenly let out a thunderous roar.
"Madam! Whatever you do, do not go near them! He Lanxi and Zhuang Wuqiu, that despicable couple! They secretly poisoned the Master of the Manor, and then, with the help of an inside man, led that rabble to break into the manor!!"
"what?"
Shen Xingmian froze on the spot, the color draining from her face instantly, leaving only a deathly pale complexion.
She stared incredulously at the two figures attacking frantically, her lips trembling for a long time before she finally murmured something.
"But Sister He is Brother Wuzheng's wife, and Brother Wuqiu is his own brother. Why would they poison him? Why would they betray him?"
The two frenzied figures, as if provoked by the words "betrayal" and "poisoning," let out even more frenzied and violent roars. Ignoring the wounds on their bodies from the sword blades, they once again recklessly pounced on the crowd!
While desperately resisting He Lanxi's fierce palm strikes, Zhuang Xiaoye roared at Shen Xingmian, his voice filled with heart-wrenching pain.
“That heartless woman! Back then, she not only poisoned the old master, but she even injured him! I fled Hero Manor without my master's knowledge, but the old master… the old master…”
