I nodded, forcing down the fear within me, striving to maintain my composure, though my palms were slick with beads of sweat.
Su Wan's gaze was deep and mysterious, as if she could see through my soul. Her voice was low and powerful, carrying an irresistible magic, like an ancient ballad tinged with a subtle melancholy.
"Lin Xia, the secrets of your family are far more complex than you can imagine." Su Wan's voice resonated like the tolling of an ancient bell, striking my eardrums. Each word hit my heart like a hammer, leaving me gasping for breath as if an invisible hand was tightening around my throat.
My breathing quickened, my heart raced as if it would leap from my chest. A chill surged from my feet to the top of my head, as though I were trapped in an ice cellar, the cold piercing through me and making me tremble involuntarily.
"The curse on your family stems from a feud in the Republic of China." Su Wan continued, her voice sharp as a knife, slicing through the silence and piercing my heart, causing waves of pain as if countless needles were stabbing at me.
Images of Jiang Yao's vengeful face flashed in my mind; her cold eyes brimmed with murderous intent, as if she would devour me whole. I could almost feel her icy fingers brushing against my skin, sending shivers down my spine, as if she were right behind me, ready to drag me into an endless abyss.
"Your ancestors committed an unforgivable mistake that led to the downfall of the entire family." Su Wan's words struck me like a heavy blow, leaving me dizzy and blurring my vision.
I felt the world spinning around me; everything became hazy. I could barely stand upright. I wanted to grasp something for support but found nothing to hold onto. I felt like a fallen leaf tossed about in a storm, helpless and vulnerable, ready to be consumed at any moment.
I staggered a few steps and barely steadied myself against the wall. My stomach churned violently; I took several deep breaths to suppress the urge to vomit.
"Your family is cursed. This curse will entwine your lineage for generations until someone can break it." Su Wan's voice was like a flash of lightning that split the dark sky and illuminated my heart, revealing a glimmer of hope—a lighthouse guiding me through the vast ocean.
A spark of hope ignited within me, akin to seeing a ray of light in darkness. I clung tightly to this hope as if it were a lifeline. I refused to give up; I had to unravel this curse and save my family. I could not allow them to be destroyed on my watch.
"You are the key to breaking this curse." Su Wan's voice was like a gentle spring breeze brushing against my face, filling me with warmth as if I had glimpsed a chance for survival in the depths of despair.
My heart was filled with strength, as if a powerful force was supporting me. I felt no longer like a lone warrior; with Su Wan's help, I believed I could break this curse and save my family. I would no longer evade my fate; I would face everything with courage.
Su Wan told me that my family had once been a wealthy and powerful clan, with ancestors who possessed immense wealth and influence, capable of commanding the winds and rains. However, due to greed and desire, they committed an unforgivable mistake—a mistake that acted like a malignant tumor, gradually eroding the entire family and ultimately leading to its downfall.
My ancestors had formed an alliance through marriage with Jiang Yao's family. The union of these two powerful families should have been a match made in heaven, but my ancestors betrayed Jiang Yao by marrying another woman. This woman was young and beautiful, hailing from a prestigious background, the object of desire for many men at the time. My ancestor was enchanted by her beauty and status, leading him to make this grave error. Jiang Yao harbored resentment because of this betrayal; she cursed my family to never find peace for generations, wanting them to pay for their treachery.
Su Wan informed me that Jiang Yao's Vengeful Spirit lingered in the old residence, seeking revenge. She wanted my family to experience the pain she had endured, wishing for them to suffer as she had—losing everything dear to them. She aimed to make them repent in endless agony and torment.
Su Wan explained that I needed to untangle Jiang Yao's emotional knots and help her let go of her hatred. Only then could I break the curse on my family and save them. I had to find Jiang Yao's Vengeful Spirit, converse with her, understand her inner pain and desires in order to discover a way to lift the curse.
Conflicted and struggling within myself, I didn't know how to confront Jiang Yao or how to unravel her heart's turmoil. I felt lost and helpless, afraid of facing her resentful gaze, terrified of hearing her painful accusations, fearing that I might not be able to bear it all.
Noticing my confusion and helplessness, Su Wan gently patted my shoulder and said, "Lin Xia, don't be afraid. I will help you." Her voice was soft yet resolute, filling me with boundless strength and courage—like a guiding light in the darkness.
I took a deep breath, striving to calm myself. Looking at Su Wan, I said, "Su Wan, thank you. I will do my best." My voice was firm and powerful, brimming with determination and confidence. I would no longer retreat; for the sake of my family and myself, I would face everything bravely.
Su Wan smiled slightly and replied, "I believe in you, Lin Xia. You can do it." Her smile was like a ray of sunshine on a winter day—warm and comforting—dispersing the shadows in my heart and giving me infinite hope.
As I gazed at Su Wan, my heart swelled with gratitude and admiration. She was like a benevolent elder who brought me endless hope and strength. With her assistance, I believed I could unravel the curse on my family, save them, uncover the ultimate truth, and reveal the secrets hidden within our family's history.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in through the window, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply. A chill ran through me, making me shiver involuntarily.
Su Wan's expression grew serious as she gazed out the window. "Be careful, the presence of the Vengeful Spirit is getting stronger," she said.
My heart sank suddenly, an ominous premonition rising within me.
