Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 502 Trust (3)_1

Clearly, he was a Young Master Qianqian, yet his strikes were vicious, each one deadly. Shangguan You’s eyes narrowed; Ye Family’s eldest son intended to kill her.

"Do you think you can kill me? Who do you think you are? There are many women in the world, but Third Brother’s heart has room only for me," Shangguan You said coldly, dodging the eldest son’s strikes while launching her own.

"I am the Ye Family’s eldest son, Third Brother’s elder brother. Even if I killed you, he would only grieve for a short time. Afterwards, he would forget you completely." The eldest son soared into the air. Though his legs were immobile, the palm wind from his hands never ceased. Immense palm energy, like an overwhelming tempest, swept towards Shangguan You.

A fierce gale erupted in the room, scattering objects everywhere. Every strike was lethal.

"Who wins and who loses isn’t for you to decide." Shangguan You evaded the eldest son’s attacks, her Spiritual Energy streaming towards him relentlessly. The eldest son was strong, but she was not far behind. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

BANG! Their palm energies collided, erupting in a brilliant flash of light. Everything in the room was blasted out the windows as waves of Spiritual Energy slowly rippled outwards.

"Impressive Spiritual Energy. But you’re a fool, doomed to be today’s tragic figure," the eldest son sneered. His previously motionless legs suddenly moved in a bizarre manner, kicking out with tremendous force. Potent Spiritual Energy shot towards Shangguan You’s abdomen.

"Your legs!" Shangguan You swiftly retracted her Spiritual Energy, her body retreating rapidly to avoid the deadly kick. At the same time, a sharp pain lanced through her chest as the eldest son’s palm strike landed squarely on her back. Luckily, she had managed to dodge; otherwise, if that kick had connected, she would have been crippled, if not killed.

SPURT! Shangguan You coughed up a mouthful of blood, the vital fluid rushing to her head.

"Not bad. You have some skill, not dying from my palm strike," the eldest son scoffed. "Your legs are alright?"

"Hahaha! Find it strange? This is my secret. Now that you know, you cannot be allowed to live. Only the dead can keep secrets." The eldest son stood firmly on the ground, a sneer on his face as Spiritual Energy surged from his hands once more.

"Since you wish to be crippled, I’ll oblige!" Shangguan You roared, suppressing the churning blood in her chest. With a flick of her hands, a small fireball appeared. While blocking the eldest son’s Spiritual Energy, she directed the flames in her hand to burn fiercely towards his legs.

You liar! You want to be a cripple? This young lady will grant your wish today!

The crimson flames blazed towards the eldest son’s legs, crackling loudly, as Shangguan You’s palm strike aimed for his chest. The eldest son’s formidable Spiritual Energy suddenly vanished, and her palm struck him solidly.

SPURT! The eldest son vomited several mouthfuls of blood, his body flying outwards like a falling leaf, his legs still engulfed in fire.

Shangguan You was momentarily stunned. How could the Eldest Young Master let me hit him without fighting back?

"Shangguan You, don’t go too far!" An enraged roar echoed in her ears, followed by a palm strike sweeping towards her. She quickly dodged, forcefully suppressing the surging blood in her chest and head. Her gaze turned cold as the figure of Ye Family’s third son appeared in the room. He swiftly caught the flying eldest son and, with a sweep of his palm, extinguished the flames on his brother’s legs. They were left burnt black, emitting a scorched odor.

In Third Brother’s eyes, Shangguan You clearly saw raging fury and profound disappointment directed at her.

Shangguan You involuntarily retreated a few steps, taking in the scene. In the eldest son’s eyes, she saw triumph, mockery, and utter disdain for her.

"Eldest Brother, how are you?" Third Brother’s voice was laden with pain, sorrow, grief, and even more guilt. He lifted the eldest son into a wheelchair and began to examine his legs, which had been so severely burned by the recent fire.

"Third Brother, I’m fine. You know my legs are prosthetics; fire can’t hurt them. Even if they were burned to ash, I wouldn’t feel a thing," the eldest son said, his voice tinged with pain, his forehead beaded with sweat. He was, however, quite satisfied with the concern Third Brother was showing. His eyes flicked towards Shangguan You with a triumphant glint.

"See? My Third Brother cares most about me. My legs are fine, yet Third Brother believes me. Look, since he entered, has he even glanced at you once? He’s practically forgotten you exist."

"Do you know why I allowed you to strike me with that palm? It was all for this moment," the eldest son gloated at Shangguan You, coughing lightly and spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"Eldest Brother, you’ve suffered internal injuries!"

"I’m fine. Third Brother, don’t worry. Besides, my legs have long been crippled. Even if they were burned to ash, I wouldn’t feel it." The eldest son coughed again as he consoled Third Brother. He wanted Third Brother to remember how his legs had become crippled, and how now, the woman Third Brother cherished most had not only set them on fire but had also beaten him to the brink of death. It was impossible for Third Brother not to harbor resentment.

Third Brother had witnessed it all with his own eyes. The eldest son didn’t need to say anything more; hatred for Shangguan You would inevitably fester in Third Brother’s heart.

Shangguan You watched coldly as this display of profound brotherly affection unfolded. She saw the self-reproach flicker in Third Brother’s deep eyes. If there isn’t even this basic level of trust, then perhaps there’s truly no future for Third Brother and me. With this thought, Shangguan You became even calmer. Her gaze rested faintly on Third Brother and the eldest son. I’ll just see how Third Brother intends to handle this.

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! The eldest son suddenly began to cough violently, spraying another mouthful of blood before slumping over, unconscious.

"Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother!" Third Brother cried out. Several men in black appeared swiftly, wheeling the eldest son into a room to begin emergency treatment.

"Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has suffered severe internal injuries."

"Young Master, the Eldest Young Master’s legs were already crippled. Now, having been burned by the fire, the damage has reached their core. Overcome by a sudden fit of rage, he fainted. He needs careful recuperation and must not be agitated further."
