Chapter 864: Being a Chess Piece For Life
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at the unconscious Lin Jie, Xia Qiluo knew very well what Liu Sanniang had sacrificed for this. That seed was karma. If Liu Sanniang wanted to save Lin Jie’s life, she would definitely have to sacrifice her life.
Liu Sanniang was indeed very weak, but even so, she still could not defeat her.
Xia Qiluo did not know where Liu Sanniang was taking her. Xia Qiluo felt too tired. She was originally a high and mighty princess who Liu Sanniang could never compare to. However, ever since she met Liu Sanniang, her life had been shrouded in darkness.
She was indignant. Why did the heavens let her meet Liu Sanniang?
The carriage stopped and Xia Qiluo’s thoughts were interrupted.
Liu Sanniang got out of the carriage and said to Xia Qiluo calmly, “Come down.”
Wu Ju nodded at Liu Sanniang and said gently, “Miss Liu, we met again.”
Behind Wu Ju was Xu Qing. When he saw Liu Sanniang, Xu Qing seemed to know what Wu Ju was going to do.
Xia Qiluo got out of the carriage. She was listless. The moment she saw Xu Qing, she widened her eyes and pounced on him. “Shifu Xu Qing, why are you here? Aren’t you already… Dead?
Xu Qing, who was supposed to be dead, was standing in front of her alive.
Liu Sanniang was right. Xia Qiluo had always been lied to and used as a chess piece.
What was even more ridiculous was that she was not Xia Qiluo at all. Who was she? She did not know that she was the thief. She was the one who deserved to die.
Xia Qiluo’s eyes were filled with disappointment and despair.
When Xu Qing saw Xia Qiluo, he was stunned for a moment before laughing. “Hahaha… Hahahaha…”
Xu Qing laughed so hard that he couldn’t even stand up straight. He sat on the ground and held his stomach, laughing non-stop.
He kept laughing, laughing crazily, laughing until tears and snot came out, but he still couldn’t stop.
Xia Qiluo also started laughing with tears streaming down her face.
Yes, it was too funny. This was the biggest joke in the world.
Liu Sanniang and the others watched quietly.
Wu Ju smiled and sighed. “It’s indeed funny, and I’ve waited too long for this day.”
Xu Qing and Xia Qiluo gradually lost their smiles and let out cries like trapped beasts.
Xia Qiluo leaned against Xu Qing and cried.
“Shifu, am I just a chess piece?”
Xia Qiluo looked at Xu Qing with tears in her eyes.
Xu Qing smiled bitterly. “That’s right. You are a chess piece, and so am I. But don’t worry, they won’t be able to succeed. Everyone underestimated Liu Sanniang’s strength. The fact that you lost so quickly proves this.”
When he saw Xia Qiluo, he knew that no matter what Xu Ran was up to, it would not work.
They thought that Xia Qiluo was a sharp sword, but this sharp sword had already been broken. They hid themselves, but how long could they be hiding?
Xia Qiluo did not dare to think about it. “Then is my identity also fake? I’m a spiritual girl, a goddess. I’ve saved so many people. I…”
Xia Qiluo choked and could not continue. Was that all fake?
Xu Qing only looked at Xia Qiluo with pity in his eyes. He smiled self-deprecatingly. “Xia Qiluo and I treated each other as brothers. However, in the end, it still couldn’t stop him from abandoning me and taking my life. You and I are worth nothing in their eyes and everything is fake.”
Xia Qiluo still found it difficult to accept such reality.
Xu Qing seemed to know what Xia Qiluo was thinking and broke her dream ruthlessly. “Qiluo, it’s just a scam. Your birth was planned. A natural spiritual body is fake. I’ve thought it through now. The Cloud Breaking Sect is an evil sect. Even if you have the best and cleanest spiritual body, the heavens won’t choose you.”
Xu Qing smiled crazily. “Fake, it’s all fake.”
Xia Qiluo didn’t know what to say. If everything was planned, then what was she?
After Xu Qing finished laughing, he looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, you must be the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Are you going to find all of them next? Then let’s go. I can’t wait. I just want to see my senior brother as soon as possible and admire his shocked and indignant look.”
He was dying. Even if he could hold on for a while, it would not be long. He could already feel his body slowly decaying, and the stench could no longer be covered.
Xia Qiluo fell to the ground dejectedly.
Liu Sanniang walked to Xia Qiluo’s side. Xia Qiluo looked up at her with difficulty.
Liu Sanniang sat down beside Xia Qiluo. “Without the Cloud Breaking Sect, your life would be filled with countless possibilities.”
Xia Qiluo was puzzled.
Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. “Perhaps you would be poor, or rich, or have a normal life. Perhaps you would experience hardship. No matter what, you would have freedom.”
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and tears fell. “But there is no turning back now.”
Liu Sanniang looked into Xia Qiluo’s eyes. She reached out and wiped Xia Qiluo’s tears. “There’s no turning back in this life, but there is in the next life. Why not look forward to the next life?”
Xia Qiluo’s tears welled up. “Kill me. I won’t resist. I’m tired.”
Xia Qiluo closed her eyes. In this life, she would always be someone else’s chess piece. It was too hard. She would just leave it at that. She would stop fighting, stop being jealous, and abandon everything.
Liu Sanniang stood up. “For the sake of your next life, help me find them.”
Xia Qiluo opened her eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang. Her teary eyes were filled with confusion. She had never thought that Liu Sanniang would have a request for her one day. Her lips were trembling as she said, “How and who?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xia Qiluo calmly. “Four elders.”
Xia Qiluo was a little excited. “Can I find them?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “The plague is spreading because someone is absorbing the vitality of living beings. They want to use tens of thousands of spirits to remold themselves. You have a spiritual body. You can feel where they are.”
There was no more hatred in Xia Qiluo’s heart towards Liu Sanniang. She nodded. “Alright, alright, I’ll help you find them..”
