Chapter 1022: Pros and Cons
Xuchang Long Corridor.
The Xu family acted very quickly, and white lanterns were hung everywhere under the corridor. But the light was a little dim, and the moonlight was blocked by the clouds, making it even dimmer.
Zhou Shuyao walked in front: "The news from home must be delivered to me as soon as possible. Chaochao is still at home recuperating after giving birth. We can't be careless."
"Come with me and change your clothes. I'm afraid we'll have to work all night. Ask the kitchen to keep some vegetarian soup ready. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat anything, but at least you can have a few sips to give you some strength."
As Zhou Shuyao walked, her pace gradually slowed down.
She clasped her hands together, frowned, and looked slightly solemn.
She vaguely remembered that when she left the room, four maids followed her and listened to her orders. Moreover, the eldest maid had been her playmate since childhood and followed her closely. But now...
The moonlight was blocked, and I felt inexplicably cold.
Goose bumps appeared on my arms, as if something was staring at me.
She turned her head sharply and looked back.
Behind him, there was nothing but emptiness; all the maids and servants had disappeared.
As soon as she stopped, she suddenly realized that there was no sound around her. When she looked up, she could see figures moving a few steps away, but no one noticed her. She was like, in an isolated space.
Zhou Shuyao's breathing was slightly heavy, and she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly.
Although she was an unarmed mortal, she was also the daughter of a noble family and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She did not seem panicked at this moment.
She said in a loud voice: "I don't know which immortal king has come to visit. This is not what a gentleman does!"
She looked around and it was eerily quiet all around. If she were an ordinary woman, she would probably be scared out of her wits.
Seeing that the other party refused to show up, she said, "If you need anything, my Lu family will definitely help you with all our strength."
"But if you have bad intentions, my Lu family is not a soft persimmon!" Her eyes were sharp, which startled the person behind her for a moment.
In the corner, two men in black robes and black hats looked at her gloomily.
"Master, the Lu family cannot be provoked. Although she is a mortal, she is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family after all. I see that the God of the Beginning also respects her very much. If something happens, I am afraid that our souls will be crushed." The little disciple beside him was very nervous.
The black-robed man looked deep and said, "The Lu family is full of gods. It is impossible for them to take away the Heavenly Dao!"
"The second wife of the Lu family is also a mortal, but her daughter is a disciple of the Immortal Lord Tingyu, and the couple has a harmonious relationship. I'm afraid it will be exposed soon."
"She is the only one who has a simple past. Her husband is dead and she has no children. Even if she is replaced, no one will notice."
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her bad luck!"
"If the Heavenly Dao is controlled by the Buddhist and Demonic Realms, where will the God Realm go? If the Emperor is willing to plan, why would I become this evil person and commit the mistake of killing someone!"
"The divine realm has lost its prestige and is no longer popular among the people. Its position is already shaky."
“If the old Emperor doesn’t care, then I will take care of it! I will be the bad guy! For the sake of tens of thousands of years of power in the God Realm, it’s worth it!” A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The young disciple practiced seclusion for many years before ascending to heaven. He followed the Taoist master for many years and always claimed to be upright.
Now, the Taoist wanted to attack unarmed mortals, which he found hard to accept.
"Master, why don't you extract her soul and send it to the underworld to be reincarnated, and promise her a life of wealth and good fortune in the next life, as compensation?" He looked at his master pleadingly. He felt that she had done nothing wrong, but she had to end up with her soul torn apart. He couldn't bear it.
What did she do wrong?
Just because she is mortal?
