Chapter 908: That Wretched Mo Lingzi’s Fault

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Taoist Master Hu heard Xie Qiao’s words, he was so angry that he felt like he was going to blast into the sky.

“Who are you people?! Since you know that I’m setting up a substitute, how dare you disturb me… Pfft!” Before he could finish speaking, Xie Qiao tore off the other talismans and burned them as well. The man immediately spat a mouthful of blood. It was unknown whether it was the result of the backlash or his anger.

After spitting out blood, he laid on the ground directly. He stared with his eyes wide open, and his entire body was powerless.

He looked like an old beggar.

“You dress well, but don’t you know what mistakes you’ve made? You forced your way into wealth, and you have to pay with your life.” Xie Qiao smiled coldly.

It was not easy to obtain unjust wealth, especially for people like them who could “pry into the secrets of the heavens.” Karma was heavy on them. One should not do evil deeds. It was inappropriate to be greedy for money, and even if one was greedy for money, there should be morality.

Otherwise, they would be condemned by the heavens and their fates would be terrible.

“W-What do you know…” the Taoist master’s mouth was full of blood, but he still said stubbornly, “I-I have done many good things in the past… but I have never had any good fates…”

Now, he was just asking for what he wanted.

Xie Qiao ignored him and stared at Meng Yin a few more times.

He was still breathing…

He was really lucky.

“How many years has he been ill? Look at him, he’s been well-fed, isn’t he? He’s fair and chubby.” Xie Qiao reached out and pinched Meng Yin’s face.

After pinching him, Xie Qiao suddenly remembered that it was inappropriate. Then, she backed off and pretended that nothing had happened.

This person was really… too fair.

He had been hiding at home and had contracted a cold. His little face was cold, and his whole person was like… a snowskin mooncake, inviting people to pinch him.

“It’s been almost nine years…” Master Hu’s voice was hoarse, “I was the one who delayed his death until now… yet you said that my substitute isn’t good… It’s not bad, it’s just that I’ve spent too much effort all these years, and I’m at my wit’s end!”

“Tell me everything.” Xie Qiao was no longer in a hurry.

She had plenty of time to listen to the story.

Master Hu glanced at Zhao Xuanjing and chuckled after seeing his face, as if he also knew that his life was coming to an end.

“You think that I’ve harmed another person’s life. Isn’t that repulsive? I have no choice!”

“Is there still someone holding a knife to your neck to harm people?” Xie Qiao’s tone was indifferent. “With your ability, those who aren’t powerful won’t be able to threaten you.”

Some Taoist masters were ordinary and only knew how to chant scriptures and enlighten people. However, some Taoist masters were capable like her. They could capture ghouls and perform divination, and they could do anything.

Although the person in front of her was not as good as her, he was not bad.

Being threatened by someone? That could not be, right?

“What do you know! Back then, I was as high-spirited as you and went all the way to the capital to discuss dao. Who knew…” Master Hu suddenly thought of something, his face turned extremely pale, “I was also harmed to such an extent by someone. My divination was not accurate and my enlightenment-mind was not stable. At that time, I made a mistake by accident. In the end, I was chased out of the capital. I did not amass wealth and my relatives cut ties with me. I was worse than a dog! If I didn’t seek refuge with the Meng family, I wouldn’t even be able to eat!”

Master Hu’s lips trembled. He looked quite pitiful.

“So you made a mistake, shouldn’t you be punished?” Xie Qiao was very calm. She had no sympathy at all.

“You’re also in the same line of work! You should know how easy it is for us to make mistakes in this line of work! It’s all that wretched Mo Lingzi’s fault. If it wasn’t for his words that provoked me, I wouldn’t have done such a bad thing in order to win against him. It was he who ruined my cultivation! My whole life was ruined by him. Now…. I just don’t want to be homeless. I just want to live a full life in the Meng Residence!”
