The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

The amulet: “The Heavenly Dao will determine Master’s fate.”

These ambiguous words made Xiao Ying shiver. This amulet might serve as the Heavenly Dao’s eyes to surveillance them.

It seemed like she had to be more careful in the future.

This thing seemed to be afraid of running out of energy, she thought to herself.

That night, Xiao Ying saw a ball of light in her sleep, emanating a familiar and warm glow.

The ball of light approached her, but Xiao Ying seemed to be restrained by something and could not move.

As the ball of light approached, it gradually expanded and melted Xiao Ying completely into it. A weak “Master—” sounded.

Xiao Ying wanted to say something but realized that she had woken up.

She suddenly sat up and felt a little cold. Only then did she realize that the window was not closed. She got out of bed and went to the window.

It was midnight, and the streets were silent. Xiao Ying looked out of the window and saw a black shadow under a street lamp.

The black shadow also looked in her direction.

Brother…

Xiao Ying bit her lip, wondering how long he had been standing on the street.

The two of them looked at each other across the building.

The next second, Xiao Ying suddenly pulled the curtains shut and blocked Cheng Yang’s view.

It was only because the amulet in her mind was reminding her again.

Downstairs, Cheng Yang’s eyes flashed. He moved his stiff legs and slowly sat back in the car.

After a while, Xiao opened the curtains and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was gone. She then recalled the voice from her dream. The voice earlier was clearly not the voice of the fake amulet. Was she dreaming, or was it really the amulet’s cry for help?

“Master, what are you thinking about?” A mechanical voice suddenly sounded.

Xiao Ying hesitated as she thought to herself, “Nothing.”

The mechanical voice sounded again. “Master, why aren’t you answering me?”

Xiao Ying’s lips curled up slightly. This fake amulet seemed to be unable to read her thoughts. “Nothing.”

The amulet said again, “Master, there isn’t enough energy. Please replenish it as soon as possible.”

Xiao Ying said indifferently, “Didn’t you forbid me from getting close to Cheng Yang?”

The amulet: “Master, I can help you so that your fate won’t be as miserable as in your previous life.”

Xiao Ying said, “Then what must I pay?”

The amulet: “Break Cheng Yang’s heart and make him lose everything.” There was a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.

Xiao Ying did not understand why he had such bad intentions towards Cheng Yang and asked, “Why?”

The amulet said coldly, “This is Cheng Yang’s fate.”

Xiao Ying was even more certain that it was not the real amulet. It was impossible for the amulet to have such obvious emotions.

“Then I’ll do as you say. Help me change my fate.”

The amulet agreed confidently.

Xiao Ying pretended to comply. She had already started planning how to deal with this unknown thing.

The next day, Xiao Ying arrived at the University of Medicine.

Qiao Na was already waiting at the school’s entrance. Under Xiao Ying’s request, she did not have a whole parade to welcome her like last time.

The moment Xiao Ying appeared, Qiao Na stepped forward and gave her a big bear hug. She said in surprise, “I was just asking. I didn’t expect you to really come.”

Xiao Ying smiled and said, “Then do you want me to come or not?”

“Of course I wish you could stay here forever.” Qiao Na patted her chest and said, “At my place, you can do whatever you want. I’ll protect you.”

Xiao Ying’s eyes flashed as she said, “I really do need your help with something.”

This was the first time Qiao Na had seen her so serious, and her expression became more serious. “With what?”

Xiao Ying smiled and said, “I need a laboratory and a few people to help me study something.”

Qiao Na’s interest was piqued, and she nodded. “These are all small matters. What do you want to study?”
