Chapter 863: Appearance
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Qiao’s story was half true and half false.
In the past, she had indeed been locked up, and the other party wanted to set her on fire. However, the local magistrate came in time, and she walked out of the house safely. On the other hand, the old lady was too emotional and died of illness.
After the incident, the old lady’s son even gave her a large sum of money, asking her to help the old couple choose a grave with good feng shui.
She would not harm anyone. She was indeed helping the old man by moving his grave. Otherwise, that family’s descendants would die sooner or later.
It was a pity that they did not understand the world of an expert.
It was common for her to be persecuted and wronged.
She said it simply, but it did not seem like there was anything wrong with it.
Xie Pinggang was silent for a moment. “I didn’t expect Master to have such a tragic past… But the past is already in the past. Master, you should not take it to heart. You are a Taoist master. It does not matter if your face is injured. Reality is more important.”
When Xie Qiao heard these words, she was not consoled at all.
Fortunately, her face was not really disfigured.
Xie Pinggang was not someone who was particularly petty. After achieving his goal, he could not be bothered to wonder what Master Mo looked like.
He even thought Master Mo was quite pitiful. She had been concealing it well, but now everyone had seen her disfigured face.
After walking away from Master Mo, Xie Pinggang looked at the guards and could not help but look at Master Mo. He said, “Brothers, you are not allowed to stare at her like that in the future. Although Master Mo is old, she is still a woman. All women love to be beautiful. If you stare at her like that, what if Master’s heart breaks?”
For instance, most of the ghouls had gotten themselves into a dead end. That was how they ended up making mistakes.
Although Master Mo was an expert, looking at the way she had cared about her appearance just now, it was unknown how much she valued her face. If others saw her, she would probably feel inferior and would not be as open-minded and pure as before.
If Xie Qiao knew what Xie Pinggang was thinking, she would probably be shocked.
Her rude brother was considerate of others. It was even rarer than the sun rising from the west.
“Young Master Xie, we don’t have any other intentions. We just thought Master Mo is such a calm and unfathomable person, but she actually tripped over such a matter… It’s really unbelievable. We couldn’t help but want to see more.” A guard laughed, “But we’ll take note of that in the future!”
“Young Master Xie, just stop talking nonsense in front of Master Mo. We’re very tight-lipped.” Zhou Weizong said sarcastically.
Young Master Xie was still holding onto his cousin and would not let go.
It would be strange if he could be nice to Xie Pinggang.
“My words are crude but my reason isn’t. It’s a pity that such a powerful person like Master would be tied down by mere appearances.” Xie Pinggang smacked his lips.
However, the master was not close to him, so he just needed to give a few words of advice. It was not appropriate for him to say too much.
After Xie Qiao rested for a while, she asked the group to take out the bones from the tomb and fill it up. As for the five trees, they could either be planted or cut down.
There was a lot of work to be done, so they decided to set up camp there that night.
However, the night was much more comfortable than before.
The light breeze blew, and there were fireflies flying around. They lit up their bellies and flapped their wings, looking very cute.
In addition, the animals they had hunted yesterday tasted delicious with the seasoning that Xie Qiao had brought with her. It was delightful.
With the previous experience of her disfigurement, Xie Qiao was very careful. After eating a few mouthfuls, she had to pay attention to her appearance so as not to accidentally expose herself again.
In the eyes of Xie Pinggang and the others, the way she cared looked as if she had been possessed.
“Your Highness, it’s such a pity for Master Mo. In this way… how can she attain enlightenment in the future?” Xie Pinggang sighed.. He was even more worried than Xie Qiao was.

Chapter 864: You Brought This Upon Yourself

Master Mo’s once fearless and unshakeable appearance now had a crack in Xie Pinggang’s heart.
Zhao Xuanjing turned his head to look at him and placed the roasted meat in his hand. “Even food can’t shut you up.”
Xie Pinggang took a bite without any hesitation. “Thank you, Your Highness.”
“In a few days, I will go with Master Mo to welcome her back. Over at the Fortune Pavilion, Qiao is learning diligently. Don’t… disturb her.” Zhao Xuanjing thought for a moment and said.
“Rest assured, Your Highness. Although I don’t approve of my eldest sister running around like Master Mo, if it’s nothing big, let her do what she wants.” Xie Pinggang did not care about these things.
It was not like he had nothing better to do. Why would he stare at his sister?
Moreover, she was about to get married. In the future, when she became the Princess Consort, she definitely would not have the freedom to do what she wanted. Now, she could just wander around.
Fortune-telling and performing physiognomy. As long as she did not have to deal with ghouls every day, it was good enough.
“You really love your younger sister.” Zhao Xuanjing laughed.
“This humble subject only has two younger sisters. It’s only right,” Xie Pinggang replied with a chuckle.
Among his colleagues, some had more than a dozen sisters in the family, such as Zhou Weizong. There were many younger sisters in the family. He was different. If one died, he would not have more sisters. At his father’s age, he would not be able to marry another wife. He did not expect him to have another child.
The ruler and minister seemed to be chatting happily.
Xie Qiao had just been exposed, so she did not dare to go up to them.
After eating her fill, she went to rest.
The next day, she returned to the capital.
She was not in a hurry to go home. The Crown Prince had many things to do, so he left first. Xie Pinggang accompanied her to meet the descendant of the ghoul.
The descendant’s residence was in Yixiao Alley in the capital. Xie Pinggang first went to the government office to check the household registration. Before he arrived, he already knew the specific situation of the ghoul’s descendant.
His name was Li Yan. He became an orphan at the age of ten. His father was in debt and was beaten to death. After he died, there was nothing left, and there was no inheritance left for him.
However, his uncle’s family was kind. They took him in and gave him a place to live.
Although a 10-year-old child could hardly work, he was still young and had no place to live or food. It was pretty good for him to have been raised for eight or nine years.
However, he was already 18 or 19 years old. It was time for him to marry a wife.
His uncle’s family had children to feed. He could not possibly neglect his own sons and help his nephew build a family and business, right?
Therefore, no one cared about him.
When Xie Qiao arrived, she saw him walking out of the house.
He was not too skinny, and his face looked gloomy.
“How is it? Master Mo, is this person doomed?” Xie Pinggang asked.
Xie Qiao nodded. “Yes, that’s what they say… When the glabella is turning black, it’s an ominous sign. Earlier, he was protected by a rather powerful ancestor, so although the dark energy invaded him, he could still endure it. But now that I’ve captured that ghoul, he can’t take care of himself. How could he protect him? Looking at his face, he’ll definitely die in less than three days.”
“I’ll go ask him.” Xie Pinggang walked forward directly.
Xie Pinggang was tall and big. As soon as he appeared, he saw this person hiding to the side. It could be seen that he was indeed a coward.
“Why are you hiding? I’m looking for you.” Xie Pinggang directly blocked his way. “Your ancestor collected ghouls everywhere. Did you know about this?”
Li Yan’s expression changed when he heard that.
Xie Pinggang had interrogated many people. Looking at his expression, he definitely knew what happened.
“So you really know?” Xie Pinggang sneered. “Then…. you brought this upon yourself.”
