Xu Qing was in disbelief. He knew Xia Qiluo the best.
Xia Qiluo hated Liu Sanniang to the core. Why would she help her?
With such an opportunity, Xia Qiluo should have mocked and humiliated Liu Sanniang. If Liu Sanniang didn’t lower her head and beg, she would definitely not help. However, Xia Qiluo agreed to help willingly.
However, soon, Xu Qing understood. He had been abandoned, and there was only one path for him to take. Xia Qiluo was the same. If she had the chance to drag people who harmed her down to hell with her, she would gladly do it.
Xu Qing could not help but look at Wu Ju and say, “I can tell you a secret about your mother, Huang Xianxian.”
Wu Ju looked at Xu Qing, and his gentle expression darkened. “What?”
Xu Qing shivered. “After your mother was subdued and taken into the soul flag, she already had an immortal body. She was the one who brought us out of the life-and-death situations many times. If you want to deal with my senior brother, you have to destroy the soul flag. The tens of thousands of evil spirits in the flag arc the biggest swords in my senior brother’s hands.”
If Wu Ju couldn’t destroy the soul flag, he would only be defeated.
Wu Ju’s expression was cold. He looked away and took a few breathers before regaining his composure.
Liu Sanniang only glanced at Wu Ju before retracting her gaze. Wu Ju was special. He was good and evil in one, and Huang Xianxian’s death must be the cause for his obsession. She would not interfere in Wu Ju’s matters.
Just like how Wu Ju had never interfered in her matters.
Xia Qiluo closed her eyes. This was the first time she believed Liu Sanniang. She felt terrible, but it was too late.
When she sensed the existence of the four powerful spiritual energies, Xia Qiluo knew that Liu Sanniang was not lying.
Xia Qiluo opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “There’s one less than 200 kilometers to the east.”
“Then let’s go.”
Liu Sanniang said.
Xia Qiluo’s heart was down. She looked at Liu Sanniang and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Liu, am I a bad person?”
Looking at Chu Yan, who was holding Liu Sanniang’s hand tightly, Xia Qiluo felt even more down. “In my life, I will never meet someone who cares about me.”
She was jealous of Liu Sanniang because she felt that Liu Sanniang was not as noble as her and was nor worthy of Chu Yan.
She liked Chu Yan because she felt that she was the only one worthy of him. Did she really like him? Perhaps not. She just wanted to possess him.
However, after thinking it through, she realized that all she wanted was for someone to care about her.
Initially, she thought that her shifu cared about her, but it turned out to be just a lie.
Xia Qiluo lowered her head and tears fell on the back of her hand. She felt that her tears were so hot that her hand hurt.
Liu Sanniang paused for a moment and turned around. She wiped Xia Qiluo’s tears with a handkerchief and said calmly, “You’re just spoiled.”
Xu Qing sighed and said, “Qiluo, you’re an obedient child. Without us, your life would be very good. In the past, I didn’t know why my senior brother always indulged you unconditionally, but now I think I know why. He wanted to raise you into such an arrogant person. This way, you will never feel that you are wrong. The ones who are wrong are all others.”
A person who never reflected on themselves was destined to walk to destruction.
Xia Qiluo fell silent. She was indeed such a person.
If not for the fact that Xu Qing was still alive, she would not have believed Liu Sanniang.
She had once asked herself if she was wrong. It was her shifu who had told her countless times that she was not wrong and that she was just not firm enough.
When the lie was exposed, it was as if a wound that would never heal had been cut open in her heart.
Xia Qiluo and Liu Sanniang sat in the carriage together. She lifted the curtain and looked out. On the way, she met many people pushing wooden carts.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “These are all the commoners who are suffering from the plague because the land is devoid of vitality.”
Even though the plague had been absorbed by Lin Jie, the people who were infected were still suffering.
Xia Qiluo looked at the barren land. Many places were uninhabited.
Liu Sanniang said, “These are the people who took the wooden statue of the Goddess of the Western Wild. Since then, they stopped farming and there’s no harvest. Now, there’s a plague.”
Xia Qiluo tried her best to hold back the tears in her eyes. “Why won’t they farm? They told me that my wooden statue is just a faith that protects people’s health and happiness…”
Liu Sanniang replied calmly, “The wooden statue can give people endless food. If they’re sick, they don’t need to see a doctor. They naturally won’t work hard, but when all the lies are exposed, people will realize the truth and hate you.”
Xia Qiluo choked with emotions.
She thought that she was saving the world, but she did not expect that the greatest evil was herself. Her ending was well-deserved.
The carriage drove on without stopping. At dawn, they had already arrived at a mountain wall. The mountain wall was covered in drooping green vines, so it was impossible to tell if there was a cave entrance..
