Chapter 18: The Holy Girl of Heaven's Will
When Zhangsun Youyou passed away, Leng Ziyue was only three years old, and her impression of what happened that day was extremely vague. With the memories of her past life, Leng Ziyue tried to recall what had happened that day in her mind, but it was hazy and unclear.
All I remember is that Changsun gently held her and whispered many words in her ear, none of which she can recall. The one sentence that remains clearest to her is: "Yue'er, you must live well, and absolutely must not easily fall in love."
The master obviously didn't remember her mother's last words, otherwise she wouldn't have given her heart to Zhang Xiao so easily. In the end, she was ruthlessly thrown to the ground, her dreams shattered, her heart dead, and her life lost.
In a world divided into five parts, the Qi Yue State is located in the center, while the other four countries occupy the east, south, west, and north directions. The only exception is the Hidden Clan, an enigma that cannot be touched by the eyes of mortals.
The Hidden Clan is very mysterious, and it's said that all members of the Hidden Clan possess unparalleled spiritual power, being descendants of the Divine Clan. They never easily leave their own clan, let alone make contact with the Five Great Nations.
From the founding of each country, with the help of the leader of the Hui people from the beginning, each country has instructions. Whether it is the emperor who is respected as nine and five, or the royal family members, when they see the Hui people, they must be treated with courtesy and cannot be easily offended.
People of the Hui ethnic group do not need to kneel down to anyone, even if the other party is an emperor, and imperial power cannot be used against them.
Leng Xue had thought that Chang Sun Youyou's identity was not simple, but no matter what she had never thought that she would actually be the Saintess of the Hidden Clan, a status as high and noble as it gets. A woman like that, how could she fall in love with Leng Zhong, a 'pig' like that? It really is beyond comprehension.
"Cough, cough...!" Bing Yi covered her mouth as she started coughing violently, staring intensely at Leng Zhiyue's expression, but no matter how hard she looked into those icy eyes of hers, she couldn't see anything.
"My mother is a Holy Maiden of the Hidden Clan, so why did she follow Leng Zhong?" A man like that deserves to die, how could Leng Ziyue possibly acknowledge him as his father.
Bing Yi heard Leng Ziyue's address to her own father, and her heart ached terribly. It was the pain of Miss Longsun's long-standing unrequited love, and also the pain of Leng Ziyue having neither maternal nor paternal love since childhood.
At that time, for the sake of her grandson's life, she had never gone to or heard anything about Miss Fu's family until the news was transmitted back, and only then did she know that her proud miss lived such a life, and died unjustly, and also pitied the poor little miss.
If it weren't for this frail body, she would have personally killed Leng Zheng that heartless thing, and she would have sought justice for Zhangsun Youyou.
"The young lady was the tribe leader's most beloved youngest daughter, with an astonishing gift and powerful spiritual energy, being cultivated as the successor of the hidden tribe, rarely interacting with outsiders. After growing up, the young lady yearned to see the outside world, so she took me and secretly left the hidden tribe. A small accident caused us to get separated, and when we met again, I found that the young lady had changed." Ice Aunt sat on a chair, reminiscing about her youth, "The young lady told me that she fell in love with a man and wanted to marry him, despite my advice against it, she insisted on doing so."
"What's next?" Leng Ziyue played with the teacup in her hand, seemingly lost in thought. It was imaginable how naive and innocent young Changsun Youyou had been back then. The evaluation of "pitiful yet tragic" was exactly what she thought of her own mother.
"The clan leader sent many of our people to capture us and take us back, but the young lady was determined to be with that man, even if it meant exhausting her spiritual energy. In the end, she lost all her spiritual energy, was expelled from the hidden tribe, and could never return. As for me, I'm an orphan who grew up by the young lady's side, and although the hidden tribe is my home, I couldn't abandon her, so I left with her." Now that Ice Aunt thinks back on everything that happened at the time, she can't help but shed tears.
She thought Changsun Youyou could live a happy life, but she didn't know that she would end up living so miserably.
"What's going on here?" Building such a large Youyin Pavilion wasn't something that could be done overnight, and Leng Zixue didn't think it had appeared out of thin air.
"Although the young lady was born in the Hidden Clan, grew up in the Hidden Clan and never left the Hidden Clan, due to her personality of not following rules from a young age, she established the You Yin Pavilion outside the Hidden Clan. The people here are all orphans picked up by the young lady, learning letters and martial arts were all arranged by the young lady for someone to teach them, over the years no one knew who the master of the You Yin Pavilion was." Ice Aunt's eyes became especially gentle when talking about this place, apart from the Hidden Clan, this is her second home, how could she not like it.
Leng Xueyu stood up, hands behind her back, and said in a cold voice: "From now on, I will take on the heavy responsibility here. As long as I am here for one day, no one will be allowed to have any ideas about this place."
"Miss, if you could see the current state of the young master, you would definitely be especially happy." Ice Aunt wiped away her tears and gazed deeply at Cold Ziyue, saying seriously: "Young Master, there is one thing that I must remind you to pay attention to. If you don't want to return to the Hidden Clan, remember not to let anyone discover the phoenix birthmark on your left chest."
Her icy gaze shot towards Ice Aunt, in her past life, she also had a faint blood phoenix on the left side of her chest. After her soul was reborn, she found that her current body also had a birthmark of a blood phoenix on the left side of her chest, and at that time, she had already had some speculations. Perhaps it was because of this birthmark that her soul would be reborn in her current body.
"Don't misunderstand, young master. This is what Miss told me in a letter after you were born. I'm reminding Miss because within the Hidden Clan, there's a Heavenly Fate Stone that selects the next generation's Holy Maiden every 20 years. A female infant with the Hidden Clan bloodline and born with the Phoenix Birthmark is the Heaven-ordained Holy Maiden, the one and only. No one can replace her." Cold Zhiyue was Miss's child born after her spiritual power was destroyed, without any spiritual energy to protect her body. Those who envied Miss within the Hidden Clan would never let Cold Zhiyue have a chance to live.
"Heavenly Mandate Saintess." Leng Ziyue murmured indifferently, her fate was not to be controlled by anyone, she was just herself.
Bing Yi's face turned even paler, and the big drops of cold sweat on her forehead kept falling down. "Young Master, I've already sensed it, they'll be coming out soon to look for the Heaven's Chosen Holy Girl, you must be careful..."
Looking at the woman who cared for her, Leng Xueyu's icy heart moved slightly, and she asked: "Ice Auntie, from now on you can just call me Yue'er with my mother. Don't be too polite to me. Who poisoned you, and where is that person now?" Since she had taken over this body and the You Yin Pavilion, anyone who dared to harm her would only have one outcome - death.
"Is that okay?" Ice Aunt heard Leng Ziyue calling her, and she was so happy that she burst into tears. "Yue'er, don't worry about so much, I've lived for many years, it's time for me to go accompany your mother."
"With me here, you think you can die?" She didn't worship her master for nothing, and the title of Medical and Poisonous Saint wasn't fake either. Leng Ziyue was confident that she could cure the poison on Bing's body. "The medicine in this bottle can suppress the spread of toxins in your body, I'll find the antidote as soon as possible. I don't have a mother, if you're willing to abandon me, you can die."
The hand, aged by poison, tightly grasped the bottle given to her by Leng Xueyao. Tears fell as she said, "Xueyao, as long as I can live for one more day, Bing Niang will not leave you."
"Uh-huh. The Youyin Pavilion still needs you, and I'm going back to the Hou Mansion to collect debts. They owe my mother's, and they must be repaid in full." She was merciless, she delighted in killing, she lusted after blood, and provoking her could only be settled with blood.
Looking into Leng Xue's eyes, which emitted a strong killing aura, Bing Yi involuntarily shivered. Yes, those people owed Miss a debt, and they would have to pay it back.
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
"Are you still angry about what happened that day?" Ba Li Jian Xing leaned against the long chair, his narrow eyes scanning Zhang Xiao's handsome profile.
"Your Highness, you're being too serious, Zhang Xiao doesn't have that intention." Thinking of the pressure from both the palace and his own home, Zhang Xiao really wanted to throw everything away and escape this worldly life. He didn't like Beidong Xiner, even though she was a noble princess, he still didn't like her, why did fate insist on him marrying her?
Baili Changjian's eyes dimmed at the mention, but he didn't say much, only saying: "I know you're not in a good mood, let's make an appointment with Chang Ke to go boating on the lake three days later and relax."
The empress dowager has already sent word to him, telling him to keep a closer eye on Zhang Xiao. The marriage between the fourth princess of Beihancheng and Zhang Xiao has been set, and they will be married within half a month. By then, everything will be settled, and no one can change it.
Thinking of the Blood King, his fifth brother, who is about to return to the Imperial City, he felt a hint of anticipation, followed by intense anger. That forgotten waste, disaster star, what is he coming back for? Is it really just because of Master Zhen's words? He didn't believe it.
"Uh, I'll be on time." Zhang Xiao pretended to be muddle-headed, but in his heart, he understood everything. The two women in the palace didn't trust him, so they let Baili Changjian keep an eye on him at all times, fearing that he would run away at the last minute.
Forget it, since it's already been decided and hurt Yu'er's heart, what other way out does he have.
Baili Changjian patted Zhang Xiao's shoulder and said: "Then I'll go invite Chang Ke, hehe."
Qingyue An's Leng Xiu Yue will be back tomorrow, and the few women in Zhong Jun Hou Fu who are not paying attention to him are looking forward to giving him a surprise he wants.
Leng Xueyue, how will you respond this time?
I really want to tear off your mask and see what you really look like. How many secrets are unknown to others?
