Chapter 574 Take It
Chen Wan stared at Master Ji and looked him up and down. "According to your horoscope, Master Ji should live to be eighty-five. Your remaining years were stolen by someone, and the one who used them was a rather vicious life-stealing spell."
"This life-stealing spell steals your life without anyone noticing. It looks like an illness, but it's actually a side effect of the spell."
Ji Yaoguang's face sank: "It was Elder Weng who stole it, right?"
"Grandpa has almost retreated to the backline in recent years. The sect's affairs are basically managed by the elders. Especially in the past two years, all matters, big and small, have been handed over to Elder Weng."
"He is the only one who has the chance to get close to Grandpa and cast the longevity-stealing curse on him."
"But why would he steal his life span? He's only in his forties, he still has at least another thirty years to live."
Ji Yaoguang didn't understand.
Shen Wan looked at the silent Sect Leader Ji and frowned slightly.
According to the normal reaction of a person, if he finds out that he did not die of illness but his life was stolen, he will definitely be angry and demand a thorough investigation of the person who harmed him.
Sect Leader Ke Ji was overly calm, as if he had expected this.
"I'm going to settle accounts with Elder Weng!" Ji Yaoguang was about to leave angrily.
Sect Leader Ji called her, "Yaoyao, since you suspect Elder Weng, then don't alert him now."
"Besides, Fellow Daoist Shen is coming to our Huang Sect, you have to entertain the guest well and cook a few of your specialties for Fellow Daoist Shen to taste?"
Ji Yaoguang looked at his grandfather and then at Chen Wan, and had to compromise, "Okay... Wanwan, stay here for dinner. I will cook delicious food for you myself."
"We Huangpai eat vegetables that we grow ourselves. They are natural, healthy and pollution-free!"
After saying this, Ji Yaoguang jumped up and went to pick vegetables.
Chen Wan got straight to the point and said, "Master Ji sent A Yao away. Do you want to tell me something?"
Sect Leader Ji smiled kindly and asked her, "I wonder what else Daoist Fellow Shen has figured out besides stealing the longevity spell?"
Shen Wan thought for a moment and said bluntly: "At first I thought someone else had used the Life Stealing Curse on Sect Leader Ji. Seeing that you are not surprised at all, this Life Stealing Curse was most likely used by you yourself."
"As for who it will be used on..."
Chen Wan looked thoughtfully in the direction where Ji Yaoguang left.
A hint of surprise appeared on Sect Leader Ji's old face. "As expected, you are Master Taixuan's disciple."
"Yes, I gave my life to Yaoyao."
"I have calculated Yaoyao's fate. She will face a dangerous death in the future. It can be said that she will have to survive nine deaths. I will use my own lifespan as a price to exchange for her chance of survival. I hope she can survive it safely."
Shen Wan thought about how A Yao in his previous life died in that battle.
I think that was the battle that Sect Leader Ji had predicted.
“Fellow Daoist Shen.” Sect Leader Ji’s face was solemn, “I hope you can keep this matter a secret from Yaoyao and don’t let her know.”
"Master Ji, I think it's better to let A Yao know and let her make her own choice."
"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."
"If A Yao knew in the future that you had exchanged several years of your life for her chance of survival, she would be more miserable living than dying." Shen Wan said truthfully.
Sect Leader Ji smiled bitterly and said, “Fellow Daoist Shen is still young, how do you know the love that elders have for the younger generation? Besides, I have lived for decades, just a few years less, but Yaoyao is different, she is still young, and she still has a great life waiting for her.”
"I think this deal is worth it."
Seeing that he was stubborn, Shen Wan stopped trying to persuade him.
"As for Elder Weng's matter." Sect Leader Ji's eyes became fierce. "I really don't know about his connection with the Blood Robe Cult, but..."
He paused, looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that everything was alright, he lowered his voice and said, "I know that Weng Ming and Fusang have been secretly communicating."
Shen Wan's expression changed, and he asked in surprise: "Fusang?"
Sect Leader Ji nodded: "Yaoyao was here just now, so I couldn't speak. This child is outspoken and I'm afraid she will act rashly and bring trouble upon herself."
"It was only after the Summer Festival incident some time ago that I discovered that Weng Ming had dealings with the Chrysanthemum Sect."
"It's just that he acts in a secretive and cautious manner, and it's almost impossible to find any fault with him."
“The reason why I sent Yaoyao away is to remind Fellow Daoist Shen that Weng Ming has been investigating your background.”
Shen Wan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Investigate me?"
"Well, I don't know if it was the instruction of the Chrysanthemum Sect, but he checked you in great detail, including your birth date and time, and everything else, to the minute and second." Sect Leader Ji said solemnly, "For us in the Xuan Sect, the most taboo thing is to expose our birth date and time. Once the real birth date and time is exposed, there is a risk of being cursed."
“Fellow Daoist Shen, you must be careful!”
Chen Wan bowed slightly to him, "Thank you for the reminder, Master Ji. I will be careful."
Sect Leader Ji made a hoarse voice in his throat and said solemnly: “There is one more thing I want to ask Fellow Daoist Shen.”
"My time is coming to an end. I am afraid I won't last more than two days."
There was a glimmer of reluctance in his eyes.
"The Huang faction is now facing internal and external troubles. The only thing I can't let go of is Yaoyao. Only you can protect her."
Chen Wan stopped him immediately, "Master Ji, don't be discouraged. Your life span is not enough. Why don't you just take some back?"
The sadness on Sect Leader Ji's face suddenly froze, and he stammered, "Take? Bring some back?"
"Absolutely not!"
"I cannot bring disaster to others."
Chen Wan smiled and said, "How about Weng Ming's?"
Sect Leader Ji's face twitched violently, and his eyes were obviously shaken, "His..."
"Weng Ming is not only a member of the Blood Robe Cult, but he is also related to Fusang. If I use his life span, I won't have any psychological burden."
Shen Wan said it confidently.
Sect Leader Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Fellow Daoist Shen, you probably don't understand Weng Ming. He is very advanced and unfathomable..."
Shen Wan shrugged, "So what."
It was the first time that Sect Leader Ji saw a Xuan Master who did whatever she wanted. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "The Longevity Stealing Spell is a technique that is forbidden in the Xuan Sect. If it wasn't for saving Yaoyao, I wouldn't have broken the law knowingly."
"I didn't ask you to use it, so I'll do it." Shen Wan was even more casual.
Sect Leader Ji coughed awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist Shen is really..."
"Ayao is my friend. I will not watch her and you, Sect Leader Ji, fall into danger." Shen Wan said bluntly.
Sect Leader Ji was stunned, "Fellow Daoist Shen and Yaoyao have only known each other for a few days, and your relationship has become so close?"
"Ayao is a kind and good girl. It's worth helping her." Shen Wan smiled.
In her previous life, she didn't have time to save A Yao and watched A Yao die tragically in the battle.
There are too many regrets in my previous life.
This time, she wanted them all to be alive and well.
