Chapter 58 Inviting the Moon: Lianxing, why don't you marry Li Ping? Lianxing: Huh?
Upon hearing this, the centurion's hand trembled slightly; these江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) people were simply lawless.
He knew that this person might actually dare to do it!
He was quite frightened, but then he thought that since this matter was not a secret in the court, it wouldn't be considered a leak if he said it. So he said, "More than two months ago, a meteor fell from the sky. The Imperial Observatory said that the meteor was an ominous sign from the sky, a warning from Heaven."
"A minister submitted a memorial, saying that His Majesty intended to make another southern tour, which angered Heaven and caused a demonic star to descend and bring chaos to the world."
"Your Majesty was overwhelmed by requests to issue an edict of self-reproach and instead ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the matter."
"etc----"
Li Ping reached out his hand to interrupt him: "You mean a meteor fell from the sky, and then Emperor Zhengde ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to investigate the matter?"
"No, is that right?"
Hearing Li Ping address the Zhengde Emperor directly, the group was furious, but Li Ping's martial arts skills were too high, and they dared not retaliate.
The centurion suppressed his anger: "I was also puzzled at the time. What could the Embroidered Uniform Guard possibly investigate when a demonic star falls from the sky? We can only investigate things on the ground, not things in the sky."
He then turned to look at the Xuanming Elders: "Later, those two old geezers came to our door and said that what fell from the sky was not a demon star, but a person."
"I was skeptical that these people could be blessed by the immortals and that killing them would allow me to seize those blessings, so I let them try—"
"Who would have thought this would actually be true?"
Li Ping kicked He Biweng: "What the hell is this guy? You're all superhumans too, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
""
The two remained silent.
Of course they were worried, but they had no choice but to strive for wealth and status; they were too eager to advance their careers.
Li Ping, resting his chin on his hand, said, "Interesting. It seems the Emperor knows something, which is why he sent you to investigate."
So this is still in the investigation stage. The imperial court has not yet decided how to deal with these strange people, nor has it issued an order to hunt them down.
The situation is a hundred times better than I expected!
Li Ping flicked his finger, sending a wisp of wind to strike the centurion's pressure point, causing him to open his mouth. Then, he threw in a pill.
Wei Yixiao was taken aback, then exclaimed, "What a brilliant finger-flicking technique!"
Li Ping's cultivation has greatly improved, and he has entered the Innate Realm. His finger-flicking technique already possesses some power, and he has also mastered the Finger Flicking Divine Skill. The Hundred-Household Commander was shocked: "What did you feed me?"
Li Ping said, "Poison? Or is it a tonic?"
"What kind of poison?"
"Have you heard of the Skin-Dissolving Elixir? Anyone who takes this elixir, without an antidote, will experience unbearable, intense itching all over their body. Eventually, they'll make a cut on their head, then forcefully pull it off, tearing their skin off—it's bloody and terrifying!"
The centurion was horrified and turned pale: "Impossible! There is no way such a poison could exist in this world. You can't scare me. I will never betray the court."
Li Ping laughed and said, "I didn't ask you to betray the court. I know your nature. If I just left like this, you would definitely pretend that nothing happened."
"But I need you to report this matter to higher authorities."
"You told your superiors that since you believe the extraordinary beings who descended from heaven possess the blessings of immortals, aren't you afraid of incurring the wrath of the immortals by stealing their blessings?"
"If extraordinary people are blessed by immortals, then they are disciples of immortals. Do you really want to oppose immortals?"
"Even the Ming Dynasty, could it truly withstand the wrath of an immortal?"
The centurion was startled and took three steps back. "Me!"
That's right, how come I didn't think of that?
Judging from his expression, Li Ping felt that using the immortal's name as a pretext should be quite effective.
After all, this time the "immortal" truly manifested.
Anyway, the imperial court hasn't decided to take drastic measures yet, things haven't reached the worst point, there's still room for maneuver, let's give it a try first.
Li Ping then took Li Chenzhou away, while Wei Yixiao left carrying the Xuanming Elders.
Seeing the two leave, a junior officer angrily shouted, "These martial arts practitioners are too arrogant! We'll report this and request the mobilization of the Divine Machine Battalion!"
The centurion angrily retorted, "By the time we mobilized the Divine Machine Battalion, these people would have long since disappeared. Didn't you see their lightness skill?"
"And they really did receive blessings from immortals; who knows, they might actually be disciples of immortals—"
"Oh no, I suddenly feel so itchy all over, could it be the poison taking effect?"
"That bastard didn't tell me where to get the antidote!"
"I'll go find Lord Qian right away and report this to him."
A junior officer said, "Going directly to Lord Qian? You're overstepping your bounds!"
The centurion roared, "I can't wait any longer! I don't want to peel off my own skin! Oh no, it itches so much—"
""
"He's definitely lying to you; there's no such poison in the world."
"Bullshit! You're the one who's poisoned, of course you're saying that. I'm so itchy, I'm going to die—"
"elder sister?"
Lianxing saw Yaoyue and was both excited and scared.
Yaoyue said, "Why are you all alone? What? You betrayed me, and now no one else wants you?"
Lianxing lowered her head: "Sister, I—"
Yaoyue shook her head and said, "From childhood to adulthood, I have never failed to get what I wanted. No one has ever dared to disobey me. People fear me like a tiger and respect me like a god."
"Therefore, I naturally assumed that everything in this world should revolve around my will."
"He deserved this fate."
"But my sister, you've always been kinder than me."
"Now I finally understand why you came up with this plan in the first place. You just wanted to save those two kids."
""
Lianxing's heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to explain, Yaoyue shook her head and said, "None of that matters now. We haven't walked together in so long. Sister, come for a walk with me."
Lianxing remained silent for a long time. She was a little scared. She had never seen Yaoyue like this before, but she had also not heard Yaoyue call her "sister" for a very long time.
In the end, she walked over to Yaoyue's side, and the two chatted about some interesting things from their childhood, making the atmosphere very relaxed.
Suddenly, Yaoyue pressed down on Lianxing's shoulder, sealing her Jianjing acupoint. Lianxing, caught off guard, was unable to resist.
Her face changed drastically: "Sister—"
Then, cracking sounds rang out from her hands and feet as Yaoyue forcefully snapped them off where they had been broken.
Lianxing retorted defiantly, "Torture me all you want, and see if I beg for mercy!"
Yaoyue remained silent and began to reconnect her broken bones. Then, the surging true energy within her body flowed into Lianxing's body, reopening the broken meridians.
Lianxing then realized what Yaoyue was doing, and she couldn't believe her eyes.
Is this my sister?
Is she expending her own vital energy to heal my old wounds?
She can't be my sister —
Inviting the moon would never do that.
What exactly happened?
Finally, Yaoyue relaxed her grip and said, "With some rest, she should be about 80-90% better. That's all I can do."
.
Lianxing asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Inviting the moon, she hummed a song: "The mortal world is so laughable, infatuation is the most pointless thing—"
Lianxing was terrified. My sister, the ever-aloof Mistress of Yihua Palace, was actually singing?
And, he sang terribly!
Finally, Yaoyue laughed and said, "Meeting someone and resolving a knot in my heart makes me feel like I've done half a lifetime of stupid things, and I'm about to cry from my own stupidity."
Lianxing asked in surprise, "Who is it?"
"Li Ping!"
"Li Ping, the Executioner's Blade? The number one martial artist in the world?"
"What number one martial artist? That's laughable! His martial arts are terrible, he's just a liar, and a lecherous scoundrel with a whole host of bad habits. Lianxing, after I leave, you should marry him."
"ah!?"
"I'm not trying to scam you. There's probably only one person like him in the world. Besides, I've taught him both the Mingyu Skill and the 'Transplanting Flowers and Jade' technique."
"He—he's very handsome?"
"He's not particularly good-looking, but he's a very interesting person. In his words, 'A beautiful face is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million.'"
"Sister, is Yan Nantian really that strong?"
"Well, even if I cultivate Mingyu Gong to the ninth level, I might still be slightly inferior, and I will never be able to cultivate Mingyu Gong to the ninth level."
"Then don't fight him. Wuque and Xiaoyuer have pleaded for you."
"Ha, why would I need anyone to plead for me, Yue? Everything has a price, and now it's my turn to pay it. Enough of this—"
Yaoyue took out a large peach: "This is what I owe you. I know it's far from enough to make up for it, but this is all I can do."
"Farewell forever, my sister!"
Back then, Lianxing was pushed off a tree and broke her arms and legs while fighting with Yaoyue over a peach.
The next moment, Yaoyue vanished without a trace, while Lianxing was left with tears streaming down her face.
