Chapter 323: Hatred
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Yanfei stared at He Lie’s face and counted her fingers as she said, ‘Young and strong, with a good family background, a smooth career, a son and a daughter, four generations in the same family… Other than failing the examination twice, your life has been smooth-sailing.”
The more she spoke, the wider the mouths of the Embroidered Uniform Guards became. Their jaws were about to drop.
Was Second Lady Gu reading the commander’s fortune?!
How accurate!
There were also a few Embroidered Uniform Guards who only found out today that the commander had taken the imperial examination in the past. They looked at him with a strange gaze.
” ” He Lie was speechless.
He seemed to have been praised, but in this situation, he felt like a piece of fat meat that was coveted and could be bitten by the Yu Family and Shangqing at any time.
…..
The corners of He Lie’s eyes twitched. He coughed dryly and said, “I haven’t heard of any young talents missing in the capital recently.”
The other Embroidered Uniform Guards also looked at each other and nodded.
The disappearance of some beggars and refugees in the capital wouldn’t cause too much of a commotion. However, if a young talent from an aristocratic family went missing, it was impossible for him to disappear silently, let alone hide from the eyes and ears of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
“Of course. They want to borrow your ‘luck’, not your ‘life’.” As she spoke, Gu Yanfei suddenly took a step closer to He Lie. “They just need to leave a ‘mark’ on your body.”
She raised her hand and snapped her fingers at He Lie’s ear.
The surrounding air seemed to vibrate, causing He Lie to shiver in fear.
“The person whose luck is borrowed won’t die, but sometimes, it’s worse than death.” Thinking of Gu Yuan’s fate in her previous life, a cold smile appeared on Gu Yanfei’s lips.
She then looked at the array patterns on the wall and said indifferently, “Commander, you can check more ahead. I estimate that something should have happened in the past 10 years.”
The Yu Family’s actions couldn’t be said to be flawless. It was just that no one had thought of them in the past.
After being reminded by Gu Yanfei, He Lie suddenly thought of something and almost dropped the scabbard in his hand.
He had a clan brother who was seven or eight years older than him. He had been smart since he was young. He could read at the age of three, recite literature at the age of five, compose poems at the age of seven, and was already familiar with the four books and five scriptures at the age of fifteen. He had been admitted to the Zhangyuan examination at the age of sixteen.
At that time, everyone thought that his future was bright, but a series of bad luck suddenly descended. His father was robbed by robbers when he was traveling. His life was in danger. The shopkeeper of the family’s shop fled with the money, and his family fell from grace.
After that, the clan brother tried again and again but failed his exams. His wife and son broke up, and everyone said that he was an unfortunate boy.
What if this matter wasn’t as simple as “unfortunate”?!
Wait! He Lie suddenly thought of something and his eyes widened. Back then, his clan brother seemed to have gone to Wuliang Temple to ask for a safety talisman before his father left for business. Could it be that his clan brother had been “marked” by that demonic Daoist?!
He Lie gripped the scabbard in his hand tightly, his eyes cold.
He could be considered to have been on the battlefield and killed people. He had killed countless people, but these were all out in the open. Even if he died, he would die clearly.
This technique of borrowing luck was comparable to killing someone’s heart. It completely defeated a person, and letting him live was equivalent to death.
Gu Yanfei had already turned around and faced the transparent wall in front of him. At the same time, she forced the pitiful spiritual power in her body to her fingertips.
Her heart ached as she looked at the faint white light on her fingertip. She thought to herself, If the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.
She drew a winding rune with her bare hands towards the eye of the array. Her movements were skillful and smooth, as if she was dancing gracefully without any pause.
When she retracted her hand, a ray of white light that was sparkling like pearls flashed and spread out rapidly like ripples on the surface of a lake…
Then, a few wisps of charred black smoke emerged from the patterns on the walls on both sides of the chamber. Some gravel fell from the walls, as if something had cracked.
He Lie and the Embroidered Uniform Guards watched this scene in surprise.
They were still sizing up their surroundings when Gu Yanfei walked towards the children without hesitation.
There were no more obstacles ahead.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were stunned for a moment before rushing forward.
Everyone looked at the children one after another. Some tested their pulses, some checked their injuries, and some shook their bodies or tried to pinch them.
“Commander, these children should be fine, but for some reason, they’re unconscious,” Gao Yuan reported after inspecting more than ten children..
