Chapter 16 Maybe I can give you a fair
Xie Shouzheng also breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it would be a fierce battle, and I was afraid of losing many soldiers and generals. I didn't expect the princess to use this trick. It's really eye-opening. Compared with the demon-locking chain we used before, it is much more convenient..."
Lin Qingyue sighed secretly in her heart: the recovery of her cultivation was still too little. Even the simplest spell required the help of her own essence and blood to be effective. It was really troublesome.
Fortunately, there are no big monsters in this world, otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to deal with it.
But then again, if the demons here hadn't been downgraded in strength, a low-level wolf demon like Xie Shouzheng wouldn't have been able to become a fifth-rank official.
Xie Shouzheng didn't realize he was being looked down upon, and shamelessly asked Lin Qingyue, "Could you draw a few more talismans for me to use as a backup?"
"You're wishful thinking!" Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at him. "You should think about how to get rid of him. The Sky Net Talisman has a time limit and can only last for an hour at most."
Xie Shouzheng said carelessly, "It's not difficult to send them away! If you can persuade them, persuade them; if you can save them, save them. If you can't persuade them or save them, kill them; if you can't save them, seal them. After all, it's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words!"
Lin Xiao's expression changed when he heard this: "What about my son?"
Xie Shouzheng shrugged. "If killing one person can ensure peace in this area, then your son will have no choice but to sacrifice his own life. At worst, I can ask His Majesty to grant Young Master Lin the title of a martyr for sacrificing his life for righteousness."
After a pause, he looked at Lin Qingyue: "Does the princess have any advice?"
Previously, when Princess Qing'an's spirit had become a demon and she was helpless, Lin Qingyue had easily brought her back to her senses. But she didn't know if there was any way to deal with the evil demon.
"Ridiculous! Are you from the Xuanjing Division so careless about human life?" Lin Xiao was furious.
Zhou ignored the pain in her body and stumbled over to Lin Qingyue:
"Yue'er, please save your brother. I only have this one son, I can't just watch him die!"
Although she didn't know how Lin Qingyue learned all these skills, it was now her only life-saving straw.
"Really?" Lin Qingyue smiled slyly, "What if I had to exchange your life for it?"
Zhou was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lin Qingyue said, "It means exchanging your life for your son's life."
Zhou stopped talking.
Lin Qingyue turned around and didn't want to interfere anymore, so she let Xie Shouzheng deal with it on his own.
Zhou suddenly grabbed her sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I'm willing! As long as Feng'er can be saved, mother is willing to exchange her life for it!"
Lin Qingyue sneered, "You're a great mother. You risked your own life for Lin Rufeng and Lin Ruzhen. Yet, you're so unkind to your own daughter."
Dongfang Yan frowned, not understanding why Lin Qingyue emphasized the word "biological daughter".
Zhou sobbed, "Yue'er, I know I've neglected you all these years. Today, I've seen a lot of things clearly, and I promise to care for you more in the future. I only ask you to help your brother. If he treats you badly again, I'll scold him or even beat him for you!"
Lin Qingyue: "Oh~ So you also know that he treats me badly."
"Yue'er, mother begs you!"
Over there, Xie Shouzheng was squatting next to "Lin Rufeng", chattering and persuading him.
When will the cycle of revenge end? It is better to let go of your obsession and turn back.
There are also things like putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly.
Even the tabby cat next to him felt it was too late to watch any more and covered his face with his paws: Xiao Hui is still as nagging as before!
After a lot of chatter, Luo Li finally succeeded in angering the demon. It let out a sharp scream and tried to break free from its restraints again with brute force.
"Bang!" Several red blood lines began to break under the brute force.
Xie Shouzheng was shocked. "Didn't they say it could last an hour? How come it started to break so quickly? Princess, Princess!"
Lin Qingyue even had the urge to slap Xie Shouzheng to death.
"He could have held out for an hour or so, but you angered him. There are both vengeful spirits and evil demons within him. Originally, it was just the evil demon causing trouble, but your words angered the vengeful spirit as well. Thank you, sir, you're more of a hindrance than a help! I don't know how you became this evil examiner."
"Princess, your subordinate's affairs can be discussed later. Solving the current problem is the most important thing!"
Lin Qingyue's cold and sharp eyes passed through Lin Rufeng and saw the ghost hidden in his body:
"For so many years, you have been holding back. I know you are not an evil ghost, but you have a grievance that you cannot express. Are you willing to show us your memories? Perhaps, I can give you justice."
As she spoke, she slowly walked towards Lin Rufeng: "If you are willing, please put aside your resistance for the time being. Although this world is full of filth, justice still exists."
Perhaps her tone was too gentle at the moment, or perhaps it was because the ghost had suffered injustice for many years and had nowhere to vent, but at this moment, two lines of tears actually shed, and then slowly closed his eyes.
Lin Qingyue immediately threw out a talisman: "Everything in the past life is just a dream. Use blood as a guide to trace back the dream!"
Two days ago, when Lin Qingyue used this trick, she could only return the memory to one person.
But this time, while she was tracing her dream, she superimposed a "mirage" spell, so that it could be projected into the void and everyone around her could see it.
So at this moment, a dream-tracing image the size of a lotus leaf appeared above Lin Rufeng's head.
In the picture, the bright spring sunshine shines on the lintel of "Lin's School", making it sparkle. The clear sound of reading is melodious and pleasant to the ears.
The Lin Family School was founded by the first marquis of the Lin family. In addition to the children of the Lin family, it also admitted children of other families.
During the day, the school is filled with the sound of reading aloud, and the students look very motivated.
But when the teacher left, it was a different situation.
"Splash--" a bucket of fishy urine poured over his head.
The young man, wearing a green shirt and with a handsome face, was covered in filth.
The students nearby hurriedly dispersed, some in disgust, some laughing at him.
"Hahaha, look at Shen Mo, does he look like a human-shaped urine bucket?"
"The piss bucket should be filled with shit and piss!"
"Shen Mo, go to the toilet quickly and be a responsible piss bucket. Don't disgust us in the school!"
The filthy young man angrily looked at the person who led the bullying:
"Lin Rufeng, how did I offend you? Why do you always target me?"
At that time, Lin Rufeng was still an eighteen-year-old boy, young and handsome, but as vicious as a devil.
"You haven't offended me. I was just too bored studying and wanted to find someone to bully."
"Why did you choose me? You were born into a poor family and fell into poverty?"
Shen Mo said: "So what if I'm from a poor family? My grandfather was also an official, but..."
He was just too upright and offended his superiors, so he was dismissed from his post and his family fell into poverty.
When he was in his hometown, Shen Mo was still a young man full of vigor and ambition, who wanted to bring honor to his family through his own efforts.
Later, he went to the capital to study, also wanting to broaden his horizons and receive guidance from great scholars.
But the capital city is full of dignitaries, and the poor students seem insignificant.
In the Lin School, he had the lowest social status and even became a target of bullying.
