543 Yao Yunhui, Think More About His Goodness (2)
“Yun’er, Mother’s meanness and fierceness are to stimulate your persistence and courage. I hope you can become a talent. Back then, your father wasn’t bold enough and didn’t understand my good intentions.”
Yao Yunhui muttered inwardly as a cold glint appeared in her eyes.
“Xu Qing, you snatched Yun’er’s fortune and ruined his future. I won’t let go of this matter. I can’t touch you in the county capital but as long as you leave the county capital, I have plenty of ways to frame you. I won’t kill you either. I want Yun’er to see your downfall and gain confidence.”
Sensing the thoughts of the woman in front of it, a look of distress appeared on the little boy’s face.
It had promised the young miss that it would protect Xu Qing.
However, it couldn’t kill. After thinking about it, it simply blew at Yao Yunhui.
This breath landed on Yao Yunhui’s face.
Yao Yunhui’s hand that was holding the spoon paused. For some reason, the thoughts in her mind changed a little. It was as though there was a thought spreading in her mind, telling her to think more about the good of others.
“That Xu Qing isn’t completely detestable.”
Yao Yunhui mumbled. But right when she finished speaking, she was stunned. She looked around suspiciously and stood up.
“Something’s wrong!” Her expression was ugly and she immediately used a spell to investigate. However, everything here was normal.
Seeing that the effect wasn’t particularly good, the little boy standing beside her was even more vexed. Hence, it blew out another breath.
Yao Yunhui’s body trembled and a look of contemplation appeared in her eyes. After a long time, she muttered.
“Xu Qing doesn’t seem to be too unreasonable.”
Yao Yunhui’s eyes widened in shock at her own thoughts. Without a moment’s hesitation, she immediately performed a series of hand seals to protect herself. She then conducted a thorough examination of her mind and soul.
Everything was normal.
However, she still left this place immediately. When she reappeared, she was already in an alley in the distance. As she moved forward, she recalled what had happened earlier.
“Although Xu Qing isn’t particularly detestable, I still have to punish him a little.”
The instant this thought appeared, the little boy who was following her seemed to be a little angry. Hence, it blew nine breaths in a row this time.
Yao Yunhui’s entire body trembled intensely and her breathing was hurried. The disgust she felt for Xu Qing rapidly decreased and she even had a good impression of him.
After a long time, she muttered.
“Xu Qing is also innocent. Yun’er was also somewhat wrong in his actions…”
Seeing this, the little boy clapped its hands in satisfaction. It felt that it had done its work, so it left happily.
At that moment, Xu Qing had already finished his breakfast and arrived at the Prison Department. As usual, he walked down the steps to the 57th floor and stepped into D132.
The pitch-black interior became a little brighter the moment he stepped in. Other than that, nothing else changed.
The cloud beast still had its back facing him. The human woman was still coaxing the straw doll to sleep and the millstone was still spinning.
As for the head, it looked like it had nothing to live for at this moment and said something that would be repeated every day.
“Don’t step on me. I don’t want to be stepped on…”
Xu Qing walked in the corridor and checked the criminals one by one. After checking all the 13 criminals in front, he arrived before the old man from the Painting Race.
The old man respectfully bowed to Xu Qing.
“Good morning, Lord Guardian.”
Xu Qing was expressionless. He coldly glanced at him and left. He sat at his usual place of meditation. The shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor also flew out and began their day of fun.
The little boy also appeared. He sat at the side, allowing Xu Qing to see it.
Helplessness appeared in its eyes. It knew that it wouldn’t be long before Xu Qing would probably react and wake up.
This was indeed the case. As Xu Qing meditated, he looked at everything in his surroundings and doubts slowly rose in his mind.
“I seem to have forgotten some things. This place seems too peaceful…”
“Why do I have a vague feeling that this place should be red?”
“The Palace Master seemed to have said something to me. Also, why did the little boy look helpless and the head said it was trampled to death many times?”
“My memory won’t suddenly deteriorate. It started when I became the guardian of this place…”
“Could it be that I’m affected?” Xu Qing opened his storage bag and rummaged through it, carefully checking all the items. Everything was normal.
He frowned. After a while, he lifted his head and looked at the cell. His expression gradually turned ugly. He suddenly had an intense feeling, as though there was a veil covering everything he was seeing.
Xu Qing’s gaze became increasingly cold. The Poison Restriction Pill in his body suddenly spread out and the power of the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace erupted at the same time. At the next instant, his aura changed and his life level increased.
At the same time, a wail rang out from the cage. It was the sound of the head.
“He woke up again! Please don’t step on me. Can you use another method?!”
The old man from the Painting Race sighed and closed his eyes, preparing to be burned to death.
Xu Qing stood up with a gloomy expression and walked over.
A moment later, this place fell silent. After destroying everything other than the god’s finger, Xu Qing looked at the finger. He could sense a terrifying fluctuation coming from it.
He knew that he couldn’t touch it. The huge difference between the two of them would cause him to collapse and die the moment he touched the finger.
He had this understanding.
Hence, a long time later, Xu Qing took out a bamboo slip and carved everything. His entire body was cold as he walked to the cell door. He didn’t turn his head and stood there for a long time before he calmly spoke.
“Will I wake up every day? Will I know every day that there are six prisoners here instead of 14 prisoners? Will it be that other than that god’s finger, the other five are actually undying here, no matter how many times I kill them?”
The little boy appeared helplessly and nodded.
“Did I carve some words or other measures to remind myself? However, after I leave, they will be erased by the god’s power. Even if I use external objects to record them here, they will disappear the moment I bring them out.”
The boy continued to nod.
“When I push open the door, I’ll forget everything, right? Does the Palace Master know?”
“This is good fortune and a test?”
The little boy still nodded.
Xu Qing fell silent. He knew that the shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor similarly couldn’t remember this place.
A long time later, he suddenly laughed.
“Then, let’s continue. I think if I push open the gate one day and don’t forget all of this, that will be the moment I truly obtain this fortune.”
The little boy nodded helplessly.
“I should have said this many times too, right?”
Xu Qing smiled and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand that recorded all of this. A dark glint flashed in his eyes as he muttered inwardly.
‘Actually, there’s another way, and that is for me to plant karma here. When it matures…’
Xu Qing fell silent for a while before crushing the bamboo slip and throwing it on the ground.
“I’ll have to trouble you with something. Help me keep this broken slip and place it where the other bamboo slips are. I think I should have carved many of them.”
The little boy nodded and lifted its hands as though it was counting, wanting to tell Xu Qing how many there were…
Xu Qing smiled and took a deep breath. He then pushed open the cell gate and walked out.
On the steps of the Prison Department, Xu Qing pondered about the military contributions as he walked.
“There are no changes to the 14 criminals in D132. All of them are normal. In that case, I have to spend more energy on gaining military contributions.”
Just like that, several days passed.
Xu Qing’s schedule had changed a little. During the day, he would go to Area D132 as usual to guard it. At night, he would begin to complete various military contribution missions, such as capturing and searching for criminals, assisting other departments, and so on.
On the third day following Kong Xianglong’s release from prison, Xu Qing had just gotten off duty and was walking out of the Prison Department when he received a voice transmission from him.
“Xu Qing, there’s a big job with a lot of military contributions. Are you coming?”
