Chapter 55: Changing Hearts, Promised the Position of Marshal

Through Xu Guang blocking the road the day before, Cheng Lian'Er only learned that Xu Guang felt apologetic toward the Cheng Family and thus wanted to help her. However, she didn't quite believe it, considering Xu Guang's past indifference and his transactional view of favors. He had always shown that the size of the favor determined the magnitude of the task he would undertake. The Cheng Family's favor to him was clearly not enough to make him risk his life to kill a Refining Viscera Strange Man.

Cheng Lian'Er thought for a long time but ultimately couldn't figure out Xu Guang's deeper intentions. Moreover, was Qian Cheng really killed by Xu Guang? That would be too earth-shattering. However, she had some ideas in mind regarding how to use Qian Cheng's severed head. Originally, she had already prepared herself to become a pawn, marrying into another family to protect the Cheng Family. Now, it seemed that would no longer be necessary.
