If she couldn't establish herself even with such excellent resources, she would no longer have any expectations of Yukino.
"But……"
Yang Nai paused, wanting to say something more.
At this moment, Snow Mother lowered her head and smiled calmly.
it's wired...
Why do I feel...afraid when my mother is laughing?
Yang Nai began to tremble involuntarily.
I remembered.
I remembered everything.
It was her fault for failing to protect her younger sister, wasn't it?
It is loved and admired.
The seemingly invincible Yukinoshita Haruno from her student days was nothing more than an incompetent older sister who couldn't even protect her own younger sister.
and so……
and so……
She only felt so annoyed when Yukino stubbornly followed in her footsteps later on.
Is she really annoyed by her sister?
in the end.
She was simply afraid of seeing a reflection of her past self in her younger sister.
—A shadow that can protect nothing.
"If... there really is such a thing, I want to have it too..."
Inside the vast archery range, at some unknown time...
Only Su Qing and Yang Nai remained.
In the cold air, Yang Nai's confused murmurs were so clear.
……
……
Chapter 255 Waiting for Me to Come Home
?
“The real thing?” Su Qing shook his head slightly, rejecting the idea without hesitation. “Trying to chase after something so illusory will only accelerate the process of destruction.”
"Then... what should I do?"
Yang Nai's eyes gradually became cloudy and empty, no longer as clear as before.
It's hard to imagine that the once powerful and influential senior, Haruno, is now like a puppet on a string.
—This is how one should look into the abyss.
“It’s very simple.” Su Qing’s lips curled into a strange smile as he leaned close to Yang Nai’s ear, his deep voice like a whisper from the abyss, but the system panel no longer provided any prompts.
then.
He slowly uttered two words:
“Seize power.”
“Seize…power?” Yang Nai murmured, repeating it over and over.
"Once you become the head of the Yukinoshita family, you won't have to worry about anything anymore. Mother or father, your sister is the most important thing. I can sense that [aura]. That's what you think, isn't it?"
Su Qing continued speaking, seemingly trying to entice him.
"My sister... is the most important." Yang Nai was struggling with her inner thoughts.
She certainly values Yukino the most, but her mother and father are also her family.
The education she received from childhood made it impossible for her to ignore it.
and many more……
Father?
Mother?
Where were they when Yukino was being bullied?
What "under the snow" and what "capacity"?
She never imagined that her mother would be so...heartless at that moment.
and so.
My younger sister is the only one I absolutely must protect.
Think about this.
Yang Nai subconsciously bit her tongue hard, drawing a trickle of blood.
Under the stinging pain, her previously chaotic thoughts finally gained a moment of clarity.
Her face showed fear, and she quickly took two steps back, assuming a defensive posture, and sternly rebuked:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"You shouldn't ask me; you should ask yourself." Su Qing shook her head, her tone light. "Don't you deny that that's what you truly think?"
Yes.
The gaze of the abyss only stirs up the desires deep within people's hearts.
Everything has a traceable origin and a source.
"Okay. Even so, if it were that easy to do, I would have done it already."
Yang Nai remained wary, watching Su Qing with suspicion.
But she was clearly already tempted.
A family is a large group with shared interests, and the head of the family only holds most of the power of discourse.
However, if she could unite with the other forces, coupled with her rightful status as the heir, it would be enough for her to ascend to power ahead of schedule.
She just needed a reason.
A reason sufficient to convince her.
“I will help you,” Su Qing said.
"How can I help?" Yang Nai immediately pressed, "With your 'spreading rumors'?"
"That's a harsh way to put it. I'm just good at drawing out the dark side of people's hearts." Su Qing smiled faintly, but under Yang Nai's surprised gaze, she slowly picked up the longbow.
"Why should I believe you when you're like this?" Yang Nai unconsciously clenched his fists.
So even the other side wasn't confident?
Then why were you babbling on and on like that?!
Do you want to see the Yukinoshita family suffer internal strife and decline?
She's not a fool.
She is a businesswoman.
Businessmen don't believe empty checks.
Seeing Su Qing playing with the longbow, Yang, as if possessed, said:
"If you can shoot three arrows in one go like me, and all of them are at least nine rings, then I'll believe you, how about it?"
This is impossible to do.
Judging from the way the opponent held the bow and the pattern of calluses on their hands, Yang Nai was certain that it was definitely the opponent's first time using it.
In particular, after reviewing the files, she learned that Su Qing was neither from a nomadic ethnic minority nor had she received any professional training.
Yang was deliberately making things difficult for him.
If she fails, then she will have to put her wildly imaginative idea into practice herself.
She no longer wanted to be a tool of the family.
So boring.
She just wanted to be a good older sister, nothing more.
"Nine rings?"
Su Qing looked at Yang Nai, as if to confirm.
"If you can't do it, then give up. From now on, don't come near Yukino again, or I have plenty of ways to make you leave." Haruno dropped her pretense of being cheerful and threatened.
"What does this have to do with her?" Su Qing smiled, seemingly disdainful. "I just feel so relieved."
"Stop talking big. You've never even touched a bow and arrow before. Are you just putting on airs? That's nothing but self-deception."
Yang couldn't help but mock, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel nervous.
At this moment, she desperately hoped that Su Qing could really do it, because then... there might really be a glimmer of hope.
Yang received no further response from Su Qing.
Because at this moment, Su Qing had already drawn the bowstring to its fullest extent.
call out--
call out--
A series of sharp whistling sounds broke the surrounding silence.
Yang Nai's pupils dilated little by little, her eyes filled with disbelief.
After gently setting down the bow, Su Qing slowly moved to Yang Nai's side, a smile on her face, and extended an invitation to her:
"cooperate?"
That's ridiculous.
Yang is the undisputed heir of the Yukinoshita family in Chiba Prefecture. Who is Su Qing?
To put it mildly.
They're just students with slightly better grades.
But Yang Nai could no longer suppress her excitement.
Gambling is the biggest addiction.
Once infected, there's no chance of waking up unless you break through a wall.
“It’s been a pleasure working together...”
Yang Nai suddenly smiled brightly, a genuine smile.
She had never felt so...joyful as she did at this moment.
……
……
?
With the negotiations with Yang Nai temporarily concluded, Su Qing walked slowly down the street.
However, his complexion was not very good.
Just now, the system notified me again—
A Heart as Clear as a Mirror and as Still as Water
[Pollution level: 10% → 25%]
Pollution, what does it really mean?
