Chapter 488: ‘Forgetting and Forgiving’
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The little girl, about five or six years old, was beautiful and lovely. Her chubby face looked very cute, making others want to pinch her cheeks. But in Liu Shuyu’s eyes, the little girl was a monster, a horrible creature that should not exist in the world!
“You, you…” stamred Liu Shuyu. She pointed at Gu Xiaosang, failing to find the words to continue.
Gu Xiaosang smiled as she looked at the little girl. “Co and greet your aunt.”
The little girl raised her head to look at Liu Shuyu and suddenly said, “Mom, this aunt is quite friendly.”
“Of course she is. She’s your aunt,” Gu Xiaosang explained, feigning seriousness.
The little girl frowned as if she was about to cry. “But daddy doesn’t look friendly…”
“That’s because your dad is unfaithful. He abandoned us.” Gu Xiaosang pretended to be serious.
The little girl nodded with all her strength, making a fist. “Mom, I’ll protect you and defeat my bad daddy when I grow up!”
Liu Shuyu’s face turned from red to pale and from pale to red again and again, as if the little girl was doing sothing that made her ashad.
Gu Xiaosang touched the little girl’s head and squeezed out an evil smile. “Go and play for a while. I have sothing to tell your aunt.”
The little girl retreated back behind the screen and quietly played with Liu Shuyu’s accessories by herself.
“You didn’t kill her. Then I…” Liu Shuyu looked at Gu Xiaosang with a puzzled gaze full of alarm.
Cupping her chin with one hand again, Gu Xiaosang looked beautiful but mischevious. As she smiled, her eyes narrowed into thin lines. “Due to interesting reasons, I left her half dead. So after you recalled your mory, you transford from Nirmanakaya to be the original you. But aren’t you confused? As a successor of Mystic Fairy, why are you still a Six Apertures master after two years have passed?”
“So I’m still a Nirmanakaya…” Liu Shuyu seed to have rid herself of doubt. Her red face gradually returned to normal as she regained her elegance and calmness.
As the successor of Mystic Fairy, it was acceptable to lose her temper. But if she kept acting like this, her weak mind would be blad.
Gu Xiaosang ignored her and said, “Sister Liu seed to want to die right away. Once she discovered sothing, she imdiately disclosed her findings and inford the idiot Su ng.”
Liu Shuyu had planned to confess her hatred but suddenly her expression changed. “You did it on purpose!”
“If I didn’t want to do so, I would not leave clues for you. Do you rember when we beca close friends?” When referring to the close friendship, Gu Xiaosang seed to be sincere.
Liu Shuyu’s face turned pale. She seed to lose her mind. “The spring after my original body was sneak-attacked by you…”
Liu Shuyu and a Yu Longzi were penpals that would occasionally write to each other. One was in Luoyang while the other one was in Nan Province. How would they have beco close friends?
In the spring after Liu Shuyu recalled her mory, Yu Longzi traveled to Luoyang. Though the clever and generous Yu Longzi was several years older than Liu Shuyu, she preferred to call the latter her elder sister. This catered to Liu Shuyu’s fancy. Thus, they beca closer as they frequently wrote to each other and finally ended up best friends.
Now, Liu Shuyu knew that Yu Longzi had done this deliberately!
“You’ve been thinking of making use of since then? You’ve been scheming for several years!” Liu Shuyu’s eyes were full of fear.
Gu Xiaosang smiled. “Almost. Before I chased after Shan Xiui into Huan Province, our sect had begun our setting. But we happened to encounter Joy Devilman and 1000-faced Devilman, so we invited Disillusionnt Demon and Lampholder Oracle to have a talk. But I didn’t think about taking advantage of Nirmanakaya of the Successor of Mystic Fairy until I went out from Ninth Heaven and found you were a Liuluo Nirmanakaya.”
“About half a year ago, I began to leave so evidence to let you know my identity and the real situation regarding the Yu family. I did this as a backup. But unexpectedly, I lost half of Saint Emperor’s Token and my backup had to be put to good use.”
She stood up and saluted her in an elegant manner. “If you had not deliberately planned it and kept it as a secret, we would have to spread the news by ourselves. But it was too artificial to remove The Immortals, those old foxes’ suspect and we might fail to lure them out. If you had not triggered Thunder God From the Ninth Heaven, oh, that Yaozha array, we would have had to do more to achieve our goal. In that way, the secret would have been easily exposed. Thus, I specially ca here to thank you, my sister.”
Judging by her tone, thod of Mistress Su seed to have known of the relationship between Yao Zhao the Exterior and The Myths.
Founded in Human Sovereign Period, thod of Mistress Su had a long history. Its strength was rely slightly weaker than the Wang family of River East and a few other sects.
Liu Shuyu turned pale again and her voice beca a little faint. “Weren’t you afraid that I would trigger things prematurely?”
“The Yu family of South Province was an empty shell, and we had long planned to abandon it. If The Immortals had not taken away half of Saint Emperor’s Token, the Yu family would never have entered the capital. What would be the point of your triggering of it? You’re clever, so you would never use your weapon until your prey showed.” Gu Xiaosang walked out from behind the desk. Her ethereal smile chilled Liu Shuyu.
“But, but Six Fan School still got the Saint Emperor’s Token…” Liu Shuyu didn’t continue as she seed to understand.
Gu Xiaosang rolled her eyes and said, “Saint Emperor’s Token is of no use to us, so we had to cooperate with other people. Those who could steal a master’s strength would surely be mighty in Six Fan School.”
“Neither Six Fan School nor the emperor valued the Saint Emperor’s Token. Was it not too cumberso?”
“But aren’t you worried that Sima Shi and Zhao Wuyan will give up fighting Progenitor Doumu and turn to capture you instead?” Liu Shuyu’s voice beca quieter and quieter.
Gu Xiaosang laughed while covering her mouth. “Who poses a greater threat to Luoyang, Progenitor Doumu or us? If we failed, at worst, we’d give them our Saint Emperor’s Token or just let them catch us. As long as we were alive, would we find a way out.”
Liu Shuyu listened carefully and felt that the aning of Gu Xiaosang’s words were hard to understand, making her believe that Gu Xiaosang could help her out.
Gu Xiaosang’s smile suddenly disappeared as she looked into Liu Shuyu’s eyes. “Besides thanking you, there’s sothing I want to discuss with you.”
Liu Shuyu was nervous, puzzled, and frightened. Gu Xiaosang’s detailed and dedicated explanation ford the image of a smart, powerful, cunning, rciless demoness in her mind, so Liu Shuyu’s montum and mind were completely repressed. Thus, she feebly asked, “What is it?”
Gu Xiaosang smiled like hundreds of flowers were blossoming in unison, so beautiful that even won would be attracted. “Since Mystic Fairy is still alive, the successor of Mystic Fairy would be the successor forever. Your death is no trouble for thod of Mistress Su. We could find another baby girl who can hold the Auras of the Immortal. We did this in the past.”
“But you only have one life. If you died by my hands, you would return to Vacuum Hotown forever and could never co alive again. You would have no chance to enjoy your life. Are you willing to do so?”
“What do you an?” Liu Shuyu slightly squinted.
Gu Xiaosang pressed her lips together and smiled. “I just wish my sister Liu could forget those unhappy tis, and forgive . Cooperate with , and we can help each other in the future.”
Liu Shuyu knew well that the so-called “helping each other'”probably ant that she would be forced to do sothing for Gu Xiaosang. She beca somber as she debated attacking Gu Xiaosang or giving in.
Gu Xiaosang pointed at the little girl behind the screen. “With my help, you could slowly take in her Auras of the Immortal and transform your own body. I can change your status. Furthermore, I would never ask you to do more than three tasks for . Those tasks would not endanger the impartation of thod of Mistress Su. Isn’t my proposal beneficial to us both?”
Liu Shuyu was slightly persuaded by Gu Xiaosang. What was more, due to Gu Xiaosang’s having more strength than her, Gu Xiaosang successfully impressed her with the image of a foxy, yet terrifying and undefeatable demoness. Liu Shuyu hesitated for a while and then asked, “Why should I believe you?”
Gu Xiaosang’s eyes turned into crescents when she laughed. Taking out a piece of plain old yellow paper, she said, “Let’s sign a contract. We can find a higher authority to be our witness.”
Though Liu Shuyu felt cheated, she signed it nonetheless.
The contract ca into force. Gu Xiaosang covered her red cheeks with her hands and shyly said to herself, “Others worked hard to sneak in by disguising themselves and hiding their identities, but only I could make the successor of Mystic Fairy my spy. If my husband knew, he would be stunned… Eventually, things begin to move back on the right track…”
Her voice, full of kindness but evil at the sa ti, threatened Liu Shuyu. Liu Shuyu was confused but she did not dare ask who her husband was.
After Gu Xiaosang and Liu Shuyu agreed on the matter of absorbing Auras of the Immortal, Gu Xiaosang led the little girl out of Liu Shuyu’s boudoir.
Just as she walked out, the smile and red on her face both disappeared. It seed that what she had just said was rely aningless sleep talk. She was profound and calm, like an orchid in the vacant valley.
Reminded by Su Li, ng Qi replayed what he encountered in Luoyang in his mind. He found that most of his adventures were caused by the Saint Emperor’s Token. If he had stayed where he was, he would have been able to quietly wait for the beginning of the Sumptuous Fruits Banquet like Qi Zhengyan, Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng. So he began to focus on his cultivation to avoid any trouble.
The next morning, ng Qi and Progenitor Doumu talked about the practice and suddenly sensed that his household servant ca.
“Second Young Master, soone is waiting for you at the door.” The household servant respectfully reported with his head down.
“Who?” ng Qi frowned. “How did he find this place?”
The servant replied honestly, “He did not tell . He only said that he t with you outside the Escort Agency of Central Province.”
Rembered Escort Agency of Central Province? The disappearing carriage suddenly crossed his mind!
He ca to find on his own? ng Qi thought of how Su Li and Su Yue were both in the side yard, so he locked the door and headed over.
A carriage stopped at the door. It was exactly that one that ng Qi had lost.
At that ti, he was still so distance away from the carriage. After losing sight of it, it took quite so ti to find the street. But what he saw were many carriages and pedestrians passing by, so it was difficult to find the target imdiately. Besides, considering that that period of ti was long enough for the enemy to have left the carriage and flee, he gave up the chase.
By the carriage, a tall young man in a large robe and sleeves stood upright with a long sword hanging from his waist. His appearance was not outstanding, but he looked quite handso and full of vigor. He stood there quietly, just like he had integrated into heaven and earth as well as the carriage, horse, stone stool, river and so on.
We saw each other before… ng Qi slowly walked toward him.
The young man cupped his hands in the other before his chest and smiled. “I’m Cui Zhe, I have admired you for a long ti.”
Cui Zhe? Super Purple Sword Cui Zhe? The consignor of those escort items was the Cui family from Pinjin!Trevor? ant Qi’s pupils slightly contracted.
“I’m flattered. I’m just a nobody,” ng Qi answered humbly.
Cui Zhe smiled. “The elders in my family are very curious about the battle last night, so they would like to invite you, Young Master Su, to our house for a chat.”
