Speaking of the man's appearance, You Xiaoxiao had completely forgotten.
She only rembered that the man's na was Yan Lin, the rest was like a dream, dissipating in her mory like smoke and dust.
In her mont of loss, You Xiaoxiao suddenly realized sothing, disregarding her previous dissatisfaction with Wang Han, she rushed forward and grabbed Wang Han's sleeve, pleading, "Since you know the Soul Capturing Technique and what happened that day, you surely know who he is. Please tell who that person is, okay?"
To You Xiaoxiao, knowing who that person was is crucial as it involves everything she wants to know most, such as whether she spoke wrongly that day, what purpose or plot the person had for approaching her, and whether Tang Rao would be implicated.
Among those having a chat, the most active ones were Qin Qing and You Xiaoxiao. Qin Qing was being threatened, and You Xiaoxiao had sothing to request from Wang Han. Both had leverage held by Wang Han, and with the other won unwilling to voice their opinions, Wang Han quickly established herself as the Family Head in the back courtyard.
It's said that Wang Han won people over very quickly, and Tang Rao directly allocated funds to Wang Han, ensuring the managent of the back courtyard wasn't too tight. Whatever the won in the back courtyard needed, they could approach Wang Han.
Tang Rao implied, firstly, that the Family Head holds power, and secondly, that with soone in charge, the family had a semblance of unity. Otherwise, it would be aningless if it was disorganized like scattered sand.
Others didn't react much to Tang Rao handing over financial control to Wang Han. Having been with Tang Rao for a long ti and possessing so savings, they tried to live off their personal funds without needing Wang Han to purchase things.
The won in the back courtyard behaved, but only a few did, as ti passed, the few restless ones gradually beca uneasy.
"What did your words that day an? You surely know the inside story, right? Since you've beco our Family Head, you should think for our Kao Shan family. Why do you know sothing and refuse to speak out?"
After that chat day, You Xiaoxiao ran to Wang Han's courtyard daily, always asking about the Soul Capturing Technique and Yan Lin, bringing nothing novel.
Wang Han was bothered and truly annoyed. She initially wanted to trouble You Xiaoxiao more but lost interest later.
Despite that, Wang Han didn't have much fondness for the won around Tang Rao, even if she spoke to You Xiaoxiao; her tone wasn't ant to be pleasant.
"The Soul Capturing Technique exists only on East Island. Before asking if I know who it is, ask yourself if you've offended anyone recently."
Wang Han's words weren't fabricated. If not for going out with Wang Lin as a child and witnessing the Soul Capturing Technique perford on East Island firsthand, they wouldn't have believed a person could capture another's mind just by seeing them once.
That was not the most astonishing part. What's truly astonishing is that, after being captured, people completely forget what the person just did, their appearance, and everything they asked before.
People who have this ability are hard to co by. Initially, Wang Han pondered how soone with You Xiaoxiao's capability could offend a Soul Capturing Master, until later, Qin Qing revealed her true colors!
You Xiaoxiao was entirely focused on Yan Lin and had no idea who she'd possibly offended. Judging by her temperant, even if she had, it couldn't have been soone significant.
"I, I really can't rember anything!"
You Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look into Wang Han's eyes, fearing ridicule for her naivety.
Wang Han's two maids covered their laughter. Their lady was indeed formidable, able to confound You Xiaoxiao in just a few moves, leaving her speechless.
The frost on Wang Han's oval face gradually faded. Against soone who couldn't withstand a bit of frost, she didn't need to employ any tactics.
She personally helped You Xiaoxiao to a seat and instructed Yin Qiao to serve tea, treating You Xiaoxiao as if she were a guest of honor, affectionately calling her "sister" with warm familiarity.
"Xiao Xiao sister, I'm a bit older than you, so let call you sister. I hope you don't mind?"
She held You Xiaoxiao's hand, squeezed and stroked it a few tis, then reluctantly let go. Though she let go of her hand, the smile on her face remained.
Even Wang Han's maid seldom saw her smile so broadly.
"Of course not, let's not distance ourselves. I just want to know how you know about the Soul Capturing Master and the Soul Capturing Technique. As for the person behind it, I believe that over ti, they'll naturally reveal themselves."
Wang Han was smart; You Xiaoxiao didn't think she was a fool. Knowing Wang Han spoke in a roundabout way, she insisted on steering the conversation to the main topic.
"Since you're calling sister, let call you sister too. I've made my stance clear, so could you please help your sister out? This matter is significant and risky; if sothing goes wrong, what should I do?"
You Xiaoxiao put aside her temper as a young lady, even humbling herself to plead with Wang Han to reveal what she knew.
Day after day, she diligently visited Wang Han's courtyard, and everyone in Kao Shan Sect noticed. The won in the back courtyard knew that after learning of Wang Han's rise, You Xiaoxiao started currying favor.
Little did they know that she had lingering doubts and was left with no choice but to turn in this direction.
You Xiaoxiao initially intended to leave after discovering the truth, no longer wanting to have anything to do with Wang Han. Now it seed, claiming no ties would be unbelievable.
"The Soul Capturing Technique cos from East Island. I just told you that. How I found out starts from my childhood when my father took to East Island, where I witnessed its power firsthand. Over the years, East Island highly valued this thod of the Soul Capturing Technique, generally passing it from male to male, not female to female, and from legitimate child to legitimate child. Moreover, only those who intermarry with East Island will pass it to the next generation, and the next generation must be loyal. So, it's unsurprising that you neither know the Soul Capturing Technique nor have seen a Soul Capturing Master."
Such a precious technique is naturally kept from the public.
The more mysterious sothing is, the more valuable it seems to outsiders. Once they knew they possessed sothing others coveted, they'd calculate and weigh the costs of their actions.
