“It doesn’t matter if I win or not. You would still continue trying to control me. Who knows what kind of tactics you have?”

“Whatever you say. Since it is so, then continue being ill. If you faint, you won’t know what we do to you.”

Shen Qianshu felt a chill in her spine. Black Rose said, “Maxi, please leave.”

“Yes.”

Maxi went out.

Shen Qianshu said, “Black Rose is really such an evil place. She looks like an underage young girl, yet she is already a murderer.”

“Is it very strange?” Black Rose said. “Welcome to the adult world.”

Shen Qianshu rejected this kind of ‘adult world’.

Black Rose said, “Don’t underestimate Maxi. She could become the stumbling block towards your goals. She is also the person who is most likely to win this round. Other than Black Rose’s predecessors, the first Black Rose can also win and become the Black Rose.”

“What do you mean?”

“Your mother, Fang Hongxiu, is the first Black Rose. She is not anyone’s predecessor,” Black Rose said. “People who are skilled enough can train hard and become a first Black Rose after attaining confirmation. Basically, Maxi and Monica will both be your rivals. Perhaps, you may die in her hand.”

“Whose confirmation?”

Black Rose smiled mysteriously. “You will know it when it is time for you to know.”

Shen Qianshu laughed coldly. “Stop trying to act mysterious.”

Black Rose did not care about her sneers at all. Black Rose said, “Because I am experienced, I have never reached the highest spot. So, I don’t know the rules. I only know that the person who gets the role the easiest way is Black Rose’s successor. The hardest way to get it is if you are a first Black Rose.

“Maxi is the most competent one. She is the person who I have the highest hopes for on winning this round and being a First Black Rose. If it weren’t for the fact that I couldn’t find anyone else, I really wouldn’t bear for her to risk her life like that.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Can’t bear? What a joke! You’re just sending her to die.”

“You can say whatever you want.”

“Who exactly are you?” Shen Qianshu said calmly. “Things have come to such a state, so you don’t have to hide anymore. Take off your veil.”

“Why are you so persistent in wanting to know who I am?”

“You know so much about Ye Ling and everyone. Second Brother listens to you. I’m really curious. Who exactly are you?” Shen Qianshu said. “If you don’t have malicious intentions on me, then why can’t you tell me? Who knows, if I die in the practice, I could at least rest in peace.”

Black Rose was silent.

For a long time.

The waves roared. Everything that she heard sounded distant.

She smiled.

Black Rose raised up her hand and took the veil off, revealing a pale but really ugly face. Half her face was clear and pretty like jade with no flaws at all. The other side of her face was uneven as if it was scarred by fire. The scars did not seem like normal scars; they seemed to have been cursed to look like that. Green and black intertwined. She looked really hideous.

Shen Qianshu was shocked.

“I scared you?”

Shen Qianshu’s face was really pale. The high fever made her thoughts slow down. Even her fear was slowed down. This face did not look good from any angle. The corner of her eyes had wrinkles, and one could tell that she was not young.

If there were no scars, she should have been a beautiful girl.

“Y-You...” Other than caring about their children, any woman would care most about their appearance. Shen Qianshu wanted to be a nice lady who could sympathize with her, but sadly, she just could not bring herself to do it.

Shen Qianshu said, “Yeah. How ugly. Your heart is ugly, and so is your face. My eyes hurt!”
