Chapter 96: The old thief Jianzheng helps Lin Ruoli steal other people's fate

Lin Siqiong seemed not to understand and continued to look at Yu Tingwan with pleading eyes and tears in her eyes.

"But my sister just said this was dangerous—"

Yu Tingwan sneered, "Your mother just said this was dangerous. Could it be that she and I set the fire together?"

"Besides, anyone with eyes can see that this is dangerous!"

"That blue flame was eerie. Others had no time to dodge it, but you were the one who insisted on letting Lin Ruoli go. Why are you dragging me along now?"

Chu Qingran looked at Lin Siqiong coldly, "Just now, it was you who urged Lin Ruoli to go over, saying that with great ability comes great responsibility. Now that something has happened, it's all someone else's fault."

"Lin Ruoli is in so much pain now, it's all your fault, it's all your own fault! It has nothing to do with anyone else!" Mrs. Su Wang's face also turned cold.

She didn't have much feelings for Lin Siqiong at first, but she was also a mother.

In her heart, the safety of her children is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary.

But for the sake of the title of "Daughter of Destiny" and to let Lin Ruoli stand out, Lin Siqiong disregarded her safety and let her walk into danger step by step.

Now instead of trying to save people, they are shirking responsibility.

She felt ashamed just looking at such a person!

Many officials and ladies present were already parents, and they looked at Lin Siqiong with reproach and disdain.

Lin Siqiong became more and more flustered as she watched this scene.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Rong hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing right now is to save her! Li'er is a little girl, if she continues like this, she might die from the pain..."

The more Rong Fei spoke, the sadder she became. Her voice choked with sobs, and she picked up a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The emperor's face was gloomy, "Then Concubine Rong, how do you tell me how to save this person?"

Concubine Rong paused in her tears.

How did she know how to save people?

If she had this ability, she would have stepped forward to put out this strange fire! She could also make the emperor look at her with a higher regard! From then on, her favor would never wane.

"This..." Rong Fei hesitated, "I don't know either!"

As she spoke, her eyes turned and her gaze fell on Yu Youning.

"Youning was able to pray successfully and invite the Teng Snake to descend into the world. I think there should be a way!"

"The Teng Snake can bring rain. If we can invite the Teng Snake again, won't the fire be extinguished?"

As soon as Concubine Rong finished speaking, Lin Siqiong seemed to be awakened. She moved slightly and looked towards Yu Youning.

"Youning! Auntie, please save Li'er! Auntie kowtows to you!"

Lin Siqiong, an elder, knelt in front of Yu Youning and threatened to kowtow to Yu Youning. This was simply forcing Yu Youning in a blatant manner!

Lin Siqiong, such a grown-up person, forced a five-year-old child like this. She really has no shame at all!

Yu Tingwan stood in front of Yu Youning and watched Lin Siqiong kowtow with peace of mind.

Lin Siqiong looked up and saw that the person standing in front of her was Yu Tingwan, and she immediately stopped the action.

How dare Yu Tingwan!

How dare she kowtow to her in front of so many people?

How to match Yu Tingwan!

Seeing Lin Siqiong's body stiff and motionless, Yu Tingwan's lips curled up slightly, "Why don't you kowtow anymore?"

Lin Siqiong clenched her hands tightly, suppressing the urge to curse. She lowered her eyes, looking pitiful and weak.

"If humiliating me is the only way to make me happy, then go ahead and humiliate me!"

"I don't need to save face! I just want Li'er to be fine!"

"Please, sister, save Li'er!"

Lin Siqiong was about to kowtow again when she suddenly heard Yu Youning's exclamation.

"Wow! Someone's flying down from the sky! Is it a god?"

Chu Huaixu explained with a smile, "No, that's the Supervisor."

"Jian Zheng? Wasn't he waiting for someone to rescue him? Why did he fly down by himself?"

Chu Huaixu's eyes flickered, "Maybe he couldn't wait for others to save him, so he just saved himself!"

"He's amazing!" Yu Youning exclaimed, "If he wants to save himself, he can save himself."

The emperor listened to the conversation between the two, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

This fire must be related to the supervisor!

Perhaps, this big drama was performed by the Supervisor himself!

The Supervisor gracefully descended from the observatory on the twelfth floor, his feet landing firmly on the ground, displaying the demeanor of a master.

His hair and beard were all white, and he was wearing a moon-white robe, looking like an immortal.

On weekdays, the Supervisor always had a calm expression, without any sign of panic, and even looked down on everyone.

But now, the Supervisor frowned and walked in a hurry, not even bothering to salute the Emperor. After landing, he hurriedly ran towards Lin Ruoli.

Seeing this, Lin Siqiong didn't care about anything else. She used her hands and feet to get up from the ground and stumbled towards the supervisor.

"Supervisor! Please save Li'er!"

Lin Siqiong's voice trembled and her face was pale.

Lin Ruoli, who was wrapped in the dark blue flames, was already dying at this time. She could only murmur in pain, no longer shouting, and even rolling around in dissatisfaction.

Lin Siqiong is really panicked now.

She was afraid that Lin Ruoli would die.

The supervisor looked serious and ignored Lin Siqiong. He just reached out to grab Lin Ruoli, trying to pull her out of the flames.

This blue flame could not hurt the Supervisor at all, so he was not afraid at all.

But the moment he stretched out his hands, the blue flame spread along his fingertips and onto his body.

In an instant, his long, snow-white eyebrows, beard, and hair were all burned off.

Without the blessing of these beards and hairs, the elderly supervisor looks like a pickled old egg.

Everyone's attention was shocked by this sudden scene, and they didn't even notice that the dark blue flame that enveloped the Zhaixing Tower had quietly disappeared.

It wasn't until everyone noticed that it seemed to be getting darker around them that someone exclaimed.

"Look! The fire in the Star-Picking Tower is out!"

"Zhaixing Tower is still fine!"

"Then why are the anger on Lin Ruoli and Jianzheng still there?"

"It must be the Supervisor who sacrificed himself to save the Star-Picking Tower, transferring all the flames to himself!"

"Then why not save Lin Ruoli as well?"

"Maybe... you can't bear it anymore?"

Although it was just a guess, it actually sounded reasonable, and many people believed it.

At this moment, Yu Mubai sneered.

"You guys really know how to flatter the Supervisor!"

"The fire in Zhaixing Tower was extinguished because it was set by the Supervisor himself, using a special powder. Once the powder burned out, the fire naturally went out."

"As for the two of them being burned by the flames now, it's because they are both entangled in karma!"

"The old thief, the Supervisor, helped Lin Ruoli steal someone else's destiny, and that's why he was burned by the Heavenly Fire. This is Heaven's punishment for him!"

"Once this fire burns out, the stolen destiny will return to its original owner, and the Supervisor's cultivation will be wiped out. He will be plagued by illness and live a miserable life."

Yu Mubai's voice was steady, and every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful, like the sound of a drum, which was deafening.

Everyone listened in disbelief.

Lin Siqiong even pointed at Yu Mubai and cursed him.

"You're talking nonsense! You're misleading people! You're just a small island owner, what qualifications do you have to say these things?"

"The Jianzheng himself calculated my fate, and my Li'er was born at that time. How could you have stolen someone else's fate? Whose fate did you steal? Tell me!"

Yu Mubai looked at Lin Siqiong expressionlessly, "Whether it's true or not, wait until the fire in the Supervisor burns out, and then you can ask him yourself and find out."

Lin Siqiong wanted to refute, but the emperor looked over coldly, "Shut up! Just wait!"

Since this matter concerns the crown prince, the emperor is on high alert and will not allow any mistakes.

Another quarter of an hour passed before the fire on Jianzheng and Lin Ruoli was completely extinguished.

Lin Siqiong rushed towards Lin Ruoli and hugged her in her arms, "Li'er, how are you?"

Lin Ruoli slowly opened her eyes, her face pale and her voice weak, "Mother... I feel..."

"What do you feel?" Lin Siqiong asked hurriedly, "Do you feel pain? Let the imperial physician treat you now, okay?"

Lin Ruoli looked blank, her eyes empty. "I feel like... I seem to be missing something..."

Hearing this, Lin Siqiong felt as if something had hit her head hard, and the pain made her mind go blank.

"Something's missing? What's missing?"

He asked anxiously, but his heart was becoming more and more panicked.

Lin Ruoli just shook her head and said she couldn't explain it clearly.

But she could feel that something was missing...

Seeing that she couldn't explain it, everyone was even more anxious and scratched their heads.

What is missing?

They really want to know!

Yu Mubai looked at the Supervisor and said, "What's missing? Let the Supervisor tell us!"

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the Supervisor, and then they noticed that the Supervisor had also woken up.

He sat there with his knees crossed, his hands draped limply on his knees.

Without his flowing hair and beard, the Supervisor who had been burned by the heavenly fire no longer had the appearance of an immortal. He looked like an ordinary old man.

He may even be very old and not live long.

Being stared at by everyone, the warden raised his eyelids, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"After I did this, I kept wondering when this would be exposed."

"I'm also thinking, if something happens, how will I defend myself and how will I clear myself from it?"

"I deliberately left myself a glimmer of hope, but I never imagined that it would only be a glimmer of hope, leaving me with only this worthless life and body."

The more Lin Siqiong listened, the more panicked she became. She shouted to stop the supervisor, "Stop it! Stop it!"

The supervisor turned a deaf ear to her words.

"Back then, the Crown Prince's life was hanging by a thread. I predicted that a girl destined for heaven would be born and save the Crown Prince's life."

"Lin Siqiong came to me at that time. She was already pregnant and about to give birth."

She wanted to know the exact birth date of the girl of destiny, so she offered me money to let me reveal it to her…”
