Helian Wei Wei’s words were like a bomb that suddenly dropped upon them.
Everyone felt as though their blood was frozen.
Their heads felt woozy and they did not have the courage to look at the Ni family again.
On the contrary, Ni Hu was more clear-headed than ever.
“What nonsense are you talking about?! That’s impossible!” Ni Hu could not move his legs but he snarled at Helian Wei Wei, his teeth gnashing at her. Deep in his heart, there was a strong fear, a fear that made him unwilling to accept the truth, even though the truth was plain obvious to him.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him with clear eyes. “Young Master Ni, you must know better than anyone else about what the Ni family went through that year. You went to the Zhuge family weeping as you vented about your grief to your friend, saying your sister was going to die. Even a shroud and coffin was prepared for her, wasn’t it? However, Ni Feng recovered without rhyme or reason the next day and no one knew how she recovered. The truth is, she didn’t recover, but came back to life again and extended her lifespan with enough corpse’s aura.”
“Wei Wei!” Ni Hu reached out and pointed at her, grinding his teeth in anger. “You’re spouting nonsense! I’m going to teach you a lesson right now and you’ll see how powerful our Ni family is!”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and said, “You have such a big reaction every time, Young Master Ni. Let me guess, the actual reason why you cried back then was not because your sister was going to die, but because you saw that she was already dead, right?”
Ni Hu instantly froze in place, as though his vital point was struck. He recalled his childhood memories, which caused his face to turn so pale that all the redness faded from his cheeks.
All of a sudden, Ni Feng let out a long sigh, “Young Master Wei, everything that you’ve said were merely your guesses. You misled my brother, step by step, just to make others think that I’m not the reincarnation of Phoenix Girl? I was really weak back then, but Young Master Wei is simply relying on the memory of Brother Yun playing hide and seek as a kid, using it to prove that my father collected all the corpses to raise a zombie. As a matter of fact, zombies were rampant at that time, so my father caught many and brought them home, waiting to burn them all with fire. That was why no one was allowed to go near the place. I stayed near them because my father wanted me to look after the backyard and prevent others from entering. I did not expect that Brother Yun would misunderstand it. As for the reason why I suddenly recovered, it was all because of my spiritual aura. Perhaps Young Master Wei doesn’t know about this, the reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl is similar to that of a phoenix, we must go through Nirvana rebirth, and that was exactly what happened back then. ”
After listening to Ni Feng’s explanation, Ni Hu’s heart finally calmed down.
The others were pondering about it as well.
“Lady Ni is right, it was a year where zombies were rampant back then.”
“So, he wasn’t using corpses to raise zombies?”
“Maybe Young Master Yun was wrong. After all, he was still young at that time. According to his description, he accidentally entered the backyard and was unable to come back to his senses after seeing so many zombies. Perhaps he mistook them for corpses because he was frightened.”
Zhuge Yun really did not want to believe what he heard. He was absolutely certain about the fact, but it completely changed after Ni Feng’s explanation!
His handsome face was turning red. “I can’t be mistaken! They wouldn’t look so fresh if they were zombies! ”
“Brother Yun, it has been so many years, can you say for sure that you weren’t mistaken? Besides, you said it yourself, it was late in the night and you were in shock. When people are afraid, ahem, especially children, it’s very easy for them to hallucinate. Coupling with their imagination, it’s highly possible that what they perceived would be totally different from the actual facts.” Ni Feng said while coughing lightly. Although her voice was soft, her points had completely debunked all the evidence that Zhuge Yun provided.
The exorcists exchanged glances with each other. Everyone was lost in thought.
Zhuge Yun’s lungs felt like they were about to explode. “How could you distort the truth in such a way!”

“Brother Yun, I’ve always known that you have prejudice toward the Ni family,” Ni Feng said as she lowered her gaze, she looked weaker from the back due to her slight coughing, “but a hallucination is a hallucination, you can’t treat it as an evidence.”
“You!” Zhuge Yun was going to say something but Helian Wei Wei raised her hand and gestured him to stop.
Helien Wei Wei looked at him and smiled. “Young Master Yun, let me teach you how to deal with this kind of skilled actors. All you need to do is to take your time and think about what she said carefully. Is there any inconsistency in her words? Then…” Helian Wei Wei slowly raised the corners of her lips, exuding an air of evil, “You can defeat her with one strike!”
Zhuge Yun failed to understand her.
Helien Wei Wei let out a long sigh and said, “Fine, I’ll do it. I’m the idol you admire after all.”
“I only admire the real Phoenix Girl,” Zhuge Yun murmured softly. “Although I really want it to be you right now, the person whom I admire the most is still the real Phoenix Girl.”
Helian Wei Wei smiled upon hearing his last few words, but she did not say anything further to Zhuge Yun.
Meanwhile, the bigger fetus in Helian Wei Wei’s belly lifted his chin with pride. His voice was cool and soft. “How dumb is this young exorcist? Mother has said it out already, yet he still can’t tell that Mother is the Phoenix Girl whom he idolizes. Human beings are really stupid.”
“Of course, they’re nothing compared to brother.” The smaller fetus responded softly with smiling eyes.
The bigger fetus was very pleased at the smaller fetus’ compliment. He leaned over and kissed the small fetus, making space for the small fetus to sense the situation outside.
Right now, Helian Wei Wei was looking directly at Ni Feng, who was trying to whitewash the situation, and said, “Lady Ni, according to your own explanation, you were really sick at that time. So, I have a question for you, how could a person, who was so sick that she couldn’t even get up from bed, be assigned to watch the zombies? Hmm?”
Right, how could a person deal with zombies if she couldn’t even get up from the bed?
One sentence.
That was all it took to make Ni Feng’s version of the story fall apart!
The exorcists were not stupid. Some people saw the light almost immediately. All of a sudden, Ni Feng found herself on the receiving end of suspicious gazes coming from every direction!
Ni Feng clenched her hand tightly, gritting her teeth so tight she thought blood might come out. Never would she have expected this person to catch her tripping through a mere sentence she said.
Normally, people would not analyze what she said word by word, just to see if there were contradictions in her words.
Where did this person by the surname Wei actually come from?!
Of course, Ni Feng could never imagine what kind of training did that person in front of her underwent in the 21st century. To have such meticulous mode of thinking, Helian Wei Wei’s lawyer license was not for nothing!
Helian Wei Wei looked at her and slowly added the most deadly sentence, “Since Lady Ni mentioned about the spiritual aura in your body, let’s investigate it carefully to see whether if it’s the real spiritual aura…”
