Lu Yun Shen didn't waste any words with him and went straight to searching her soul. Then he saw how A Yao had been neglected and had her things withheld by these people over the years, and he also saw how Steward Ming and the other servants didn't take A Yao seriously.
"Manager Ming, these are all for Miss Seven."
"What Seventh Miss? Who does she think she is?"
"Steward Ming, are you really only giving Miss Seven twenty low-grade spirit stones this month? What if it gets discovered..."
"What's there to be afraid of? Look at which young master has ever been to her place. The Eighth Miss is the apple of the eye of the head of the family, the madam, and all the young masters."
Scenes from Steward Ming's memories appeared vividly before Lu Yun Shen's eyes. He opened his eyes wide and clenched one hand into a fist.
Soul searching is an extremely damaging technique to the soul; usually, after it is done, the person is ruined.
Lu Yun Shen was so angry he wanted to kill Steward Ming, he didn't care whether he was useless or not. After having the guards drag away the foaming-at-the-mouth, delirious Steward Ming, he looked at A Yao.
Ayao sat on the sidelines like a bystander.
"Xiaoqi, I..."
Lu Yunshen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He had never imagined that Xiao Qi was living such a miserable life, with none of the servants treating her with any respect. A sense of guilt began to grow wildly in his heart.
Ayao said, "I want to rest and heal my injuries. Could you ask Fourth Brother to return my storage bag to me? All my pills are in there."
Seeing A Yao's pale face, Lu Yun Shen felt a wave of self-reproach. He was so angry that he forgot to heal Xiao Qi's wounds.
Damn it!
"Xiao Qi, sit down, I'll help you heal your wounds."
He reached out to touch A Yao, but A Yao took a step back: "No need, I can heal myself. Tell Fourth Brother to give me back my storage bag."
The indifference in A Yao's eyes stung Lu Yun Shen. He withdrew his hand and said, "Okay."
He took out a new storage bag from his own storage bag, gave most of the contents to A Yao, and placed it on the table: "Xiao Qi, these are for you. Take good care of your injuries, I'll come to see you later."
Seeing that A Yao didn't react, his heart tightened again.
He slowly turned and left.
He stepped out of the gate, transformed into a streak of light, and flew away from Yingxiu Peak, followed by the people he brought. It wasn't just Steward Ming who mistreated Xiao Qi, and he wasn't the only one who withheld things. Well, they've got some nerve, daring to even embezzle his own sister's belongings.
Immediately, Lu Yunshen threw all the clansmen involved into the Black Prison, a total of forty-nine people, into the Black Prison.
————
After Lu Yunshen left, A Yao picked up the storage bag he had given her. She scanned it with her divine sense and found 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, more than a dozen bottles of fourth-grade pills, and a bottle of sixth-grade pills specifically for healing.
She took out a bottle of Grade Six Kunji Peiyuan Pills for healing, swallowed two, and immediately began circulating her internal energy to heal herself on a futon. The Grade Six pills were extremely effective; an hour later, her injuries were largely healed. Her consciousness sank into her sea of consciousness.
In A Yao's sea of consciousness, stars of various colors twinkled, white mist floated on the water's surface, and an enormous bead, like a planet, radiated nine-colored light in the sky.
As soon as Ayao reached out, the bead came toward her and kept shrinking until it became the size of a grape and landed in her hand.
Ayao stared intently at the bead radiating nine-colored light. This...this is...
Every dragon has a dragon pearl, and every phoenix has a nirvana pearl.
She once possessed a Nirvana Bead, but clearly this one wasn't hers. Lu Xueyao didn't have a Nirvana Bead either; only Feng Yao possessed one.
If she really went back to the past, and she doesn't have the Nirvana Bead now, then what is it?
Ayao stared at the bead, pondering for a long time, when a thought suddenly entered her mind:
The Reincarnation Bead!!!
This is the Reincarnation Bead, one of the three innate treasures.
Legend has it that before the creation of heaven and earth, three innate treasures and seven primordial realms were born together, one of which is this Reincarnation Pearl. The Phoenix Clan possesses the power of Nirvana, allowing them to be resurrected, but only by restarting their own life. The Reincarnation Pearl, however, can return all the heavens and myriad realms to chaos.
If this is the Reincarnation Bead, and it takes itself to the past, allowing time to start over, then everything makes sense.
A storm raged in A Yao's heart.
"The Reincarnation Bead, the Reincarnation Bead..."
She held the bead tightly, and the image of her master, Feng Wu, appeared before her eyes.
Divine light shone brightly, celestial clouds bloomed, and a woman with her hair styled in a high bun wore a colorful robe embroidered with phoenix totems. Her sash fluttered and her shawl danced in the wind. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her phoenix eyes looked down upon all the heroes of the heavens and myriad realms with pride...
In her previous life, she met her master, Feng Wu, at the age of 3,150. At that time, her master was just a remnant soul, sealed in the Xuan Yin Mountain of the Netherworld, but she was still powerful. She watched as her master gradually regained her power, returned to the Primordial Phoenix Clan, and brought the declining Phoenix Clan back to its peak glory.
Following in her master's footsteps, she grew step by step from a weak Nascent Soul cultivator to a Celestial King, and finally to a Celestial Emperor. She lived as a human for over five thousand years and as a phoenix for sixteen thousand two thousand years. For A Yao, the Phoenix Clan was her true home, her final destination.
She is Feng Yao, not Lu Xueyao.
Feng Wu is her father and also her mother.
She is too weak to go to the Netherworld and break her master's seal.
It's okay, she will become stronger.
Master, wait, A-Yao will come to save you soon.
She will break her master's seal just like in her previous life, allowing her master to regain his peak power.
