Chapter 37 - Selfish...

The dark night filled with stars and moon giving illusion of peaceful and calm night but inside the Zhang Mansion.

Few people couldn't fall asleep cause of fear they keep turning and tossing around but couldn't do anything about it.

Rather then Zhongli yinmin who is confident enough to escape alone with her life intact sleep peacefully for the whole night.

In the next morning three people with various age supporting dark circles under their eyes glare at the girl infront of them.

Meanwhile her look at the delicious feast infront of her with a frown on her face but since she wearing cloak hiding her face.

No one can see her internal struggle, they all were furious at her for scaring them but they also know the danger only delayed not lifted.

Zhongli yinmin:- "aunt shi, why are you standing there come and eat with us" her sweet voice make people listen to her words subconsciously.

The pair of mother-son they had saved and travel together with is surname shi so they call her aunt shi.

Aunt shi look at the delicious feast on the table she hesitated but after travelling with them for two months.

She know the main leader of the team is this little girl and her capabilities had been witness by herself.

So she can only seat down and hesitantly pick up the chopstick nervously yet excitedly grab a piece of well cooked fish.

She had never eaten such delicious feast so she greedily pick up most fatty pieces and eat as much as she can.

But she didn't notice that no one else had moved their chopstick rather looking at her with solemn look on their face.

Zhang Jiutian, caocao, Wang Leiting look at aunt shi then at Zhongli yinmin with their jaw slightly open.

How can they don't understand that she had just used aunt shi as poison tester without any hesitation.

They all couldn't help but move slightly away from her, they always forget how selfish she can be.

As long as they serve no use for them she will draw clear line with them or use them for her own profit.

They need to keep their guard against her all the time or else they will don't even know how they are played under her hand.

Aunt shi patted her stomach and raised her head seeing no one else had moved to eat she showed confusion on her face.

Suddenly wave of dizziness and drowsiness make her body sway this made her expression change dramatically.

Her face paled as she look at the little girl with fear and hatered in her eyes, she grit her teeth in anger.

Zhongli yinmin:- "calm down it's not poison just knock out drug, you only need to get some good sleep"

She ignore the ugly expression on the aunt shi face as she take steam bun and distribute them among everyone.

Caocao:- "you are really terrifying sometimes" she complain but still took the steam bun from her.

They all know they couldn't afford to fall asleep right now, moreover this drugged food indicate what she had said is truth.

Wang Leiting:- "they are planning to drug us then directly present us to sixth elder earning more favour from her"

After staying with her he can see things more clearly then before, as for other two girls they also had start to understand lot of things.

Zhang Jiutian is not naive, pampered and arrogant young lady anymore but sometimes she still show soft heart.

Zhang Jiutian:- "I don't know if I should scold you for being too selfish or being clever and smart" she let out tired sigh.

Zhongli yinmin:- "I'm alive and surviving cause I'm selfish and know when to stop being one" she took a big bite of bun.

Caocao:- "with nascent realm speed she should had arrived here till now then why she had yet to came here"

This point is really bugging her making her more nervous and scared, she try to divert her attention by nibbling on the bun.

Zhongli yinmin pause hearing caocao words she already had thought about this matter last night.

She then continue eating her food looking at aunt shi who had fall asleep on table with bored look on her face.

Zhongli yinmin:- "someone please came here and take her to the room and see if her son is feed if not feed him"

The maids assigned to them immediately appear their carefully carry aunt shi and took her back to her room.

Zhang Jiutian:- "atleast you aren't heartless" she sarcastically sneer at her and took a big bite of the bun.

Zhongli yinmin:- rolling her eyes "it's not like you hadn't seen my way of doing thing's before" she smirk at her.

Caocao:- "tell me little yin why does sixth elder hadn't arrived here yet" she know yinmin had some idea about it.

Zhongli yinmin:- "well I have some guess but they can be only confirm when she arrive here" she spoke with confident.

Her confidence make other roll their eyes the person they are taking about is their enemy not some old friend.

Its not like sixth elder will tell them why she had arrive late, her status make it easier for her to order people around.

She can easily order people to bring them to her but still someone had yet to arrive, they couldn't help but question.

Wang Leiting:- "what if she send someone else here rather then coming here in person" this is the question making them panicked.

Zhongli yinmin:- "what difference will that make" they all pause yes even if sixth elder didn't arrive here in person or send someone they had to fight in either situation.

Zhongli yinmin:- "but unless she don't want to loss face she will came here personally" she is quite confident about it.

Zhang Jiutian:- "sometime I feel like we are just here cause you had some kind of scheme inside your mind or else given the

time in our hand we should had escaped before those people catch up to us but no we are here seating on the table helpless"

Zhongli yinmin lay lazily on her chair ignoring the piercing gazes of others around her with light smile on her lips.
