392 Live On As A Puppet (Part 2)
Madam Bai also hated Liu Shun’s mother. If she hadn’t given birth to a bastard son like Liu Shun, her daughter would still be alive and kicking.
Liu Shun’s mother asked her coldly. “Are you satisfied now?”
Madam Bai gritted her teeth. “You raised a beast. People like you should be struck by lightning.”
Liu Shun’s mother looked at Madam Bai coldly and sneered. “Haha, you are really forgetful, aren’t you? Were you not the one who sent a matchmaker to my house to talk about marrying your daughter to my son? Do you really think I didn’t know what you wanted? You wanted to get the tiger skin, but now you complain about being devoured by the tiger. What a joke!”
Madam Bai felt hurt when being reminded of how it was her who pushed her daughter into the abyss. She bit her lip hard until it bled, but she did not let go.
Liu Shun’s mother snorted and left after picking up Liu Shun’s corpse.
Liu San sighed. Not only was Madam Bai hurt, but so were they.
They had thought highly of Liu Shun and refused to listen to the warning from Liu Sanniang.
Therefore, now it was the time for them to pay a painful price for what they had done.
Liu San sighed. “Let’s go home. Don’t ever come back to this place.”
They had already paid a high cost for this. They should have awakened by now.
Madam Bai was still in a trance. When she came to the capital, she was elated and in high spirits, but when she returned home, her daughter was gone.
At the thought of this, she started sobbing.
Liu Dashan and his brothers did not look good either. What happened to Liu Yinniang had dealt them a heavy blow and taught them a huge lesson.
Liu San and his family left the capital silently. They were just an ordinary family in the capital, so when they left, no one cared.
Before leaving, Liu San still got someone to send a letter to Liu Sanniang. He was too ashamed to deliver the letter to her in person.
When Liu Sanniang received the letter, Liu San’s family had already left the city and was on their way back to Yong County. She sighed, but she didn’t feel guilty.
She had done what she could. That was enough.
There was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Liu Sanniang went to open the door and looked at the man with a solemn expression. She said calmly, “Please come in.”
Yi Zilan and Wu Changxian followed behind the man and nodded at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, this is…”
The man interrupted Yi Zilan and said, “I heard that Miss Liu has extraordinary ability. May I ask you to give me a face-reading?”
Liu Sanniang looked at the man calmly and said, “You are at the pinnacle of power and wealth. Across the dynasty, there is only one person who has both of these at the same time.”
He was the emperor of the Xia Dynasty.
Xia Bingguang narrowed his eyes. “Miss Liu is really smart.”
The girl in front of him looked no more than twenty, younger than his favorite princess. However, Xia Bingguang held disbelief in her ability. He looked at Wu Changxian. “Minister Wu, did you let out a word of my coming today?”
Wu Changxian looked at Liu Sanniang. He was also shocked and quickly answered. “Your Majesty, I didn’t.”
Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang. “You were also the one who solved the case in Magistrate Zhao’s mansion back in Yuezhou, right?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes.”
Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang. “What I am about to ask is very important, Miss Liu, please ask me sincerely. What brought you here? Is that true when you say where there is evil, there is you?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Yes, it’s true.”
Xia Bingguang carried a presence that could even intimidate that of the most senior officials, but Liu Sanniang actually managed to remain so calm and collected in front of him. He was slightly displeased.
He was the emperor.
Xia Bingguang took a deep breath. “As far as I can tell, the world is in harmony and there is no evil…”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Bingguang and then looked up at the sky. “Yin and Yang are imbalanced.”
Xia Bingguang looked up and started to feel annoyed. He wanted to flare up. The sky today was obviously pleasant.
“Wait… what are those?”
Xia Bingguang frowned. Under the bright sun, he seemed to see countless black things.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “That’s evil.”
Xia Bingguang’s heart skipped a beat. When he looked again, the black things were no longer there.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Sanniang. He pondered for a moment before finally making up his mind. “Miss Liu, if you want to eliminate evil, then go ahead. No matter who they are, get rid of them.”
The Xia Dynasty had only been established for a few hundred years. He did not want it to go downhill while he was on the throne.
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Bingguang and nodded slightly. With the support of the current emperor, she would be much more at ease.
Xia Bingguang had a complicated feeling. He looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, do you know that if you call yourself the True Buddha, you might become the enemy of the entire Xuan world, and the world will not understand your doings? Even… I can’t support you openly. ”
Liu Sanniang smiled. “It’s the responsibility of the Mystic World to get rid of the evil source in the world. But because no one does it, I am sent here to do it in their stead.”
The people of the Mystic World were responsible for protecting the world, but they forgot their duty and ignored the imbalance of Yin and Yang. They were high and mighty and enjoyed the respect of the world, but they were getting further and further away from the Dao and were ignorant of it.
Xia Bingguang looked at Liu Sanniang and narrowed his eyes. She was petite and beautiful. If one lingered their gaze on her a bit longer, they would be attracted to her and find that her eyes were so pure and clear that it seemed to contain the entire world.
Xia Bingguang lowered his eyes. “Miss Liu, be careful.”
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly.
Xia Bingguang continued. “As long as you can pull the nasty things out of the dark, I will reward you handsomely.”
Although he was the emperor and had supreme power, he was restricted by many things and couldn’t act rashly.
In this world, the hardest thing to predict was the human heart.
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Bingguang and said softly, “Thank you.”
There were countless evil seeds and sources in the world, but there were also countless good ones.
Xia Bingguang felt excited. Looking at Liu Sanniang, he actually felt the passion he had when he was young and on the battlefield, fighting for the people. Now, he was fighting for the world.
Xia Bingguang looked at Wu Changxian and Yi Zilan. “You two are familiar with Miss Liu. You must help her with what you can in the future.”
Wu Changxian and Yi Zilan nodded. “Yes, we understand.”
Xia Bingguang did not stay long before leaving.
Yi Zilan and Wu Changxian stayed beside Xia Bingguang at all times. Although they came in secret and didn’t alert anyone, the two of them could not afford to take it lightly. This was after all the emperor.
Liu Sanniang looked at Yi Zilan and said, “Congratulations, Official Yi, something good is on the way.”
Looking at his face, Liu Sanniang saw signs of him getting married.
Yi Zilan was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile. “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
