The Otherworldly God

Chapter 41: Disappearance due to theft

Le Zhengying came over and added some tea for her.

"Doctor Baizhi seems to have a special affinity with them."

Le Zhengfang put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked towards the window, lifted the curtain to look outside, and could still see three dark shadows. He could not help but look at the row of bamboo trees opposite. It took a long time before he let down the curtain and came back to sit down.

"If her children were still alive, they would be about this size. Looking at them, she must be thinking of her baby who died at birth."

"I have heard about this, but I don't know why Doctor Baizhi didn't give birth to another child after so many years."

After hearing this, Le Zhengfang shook his head.

"She wanted to, too. But fate played tricks on her. Not long after the child died, Bai Zhi also fell seriously ill, which damaged her foundation and she could no longer have children."

Yue Zhengying lowered his head, sympathizing with Bai Zhi's experience. Seeing Yue Zhengfang staring blankly at the other courtyard, he knew that she was thinking about her brother and sister-in-law again.

"Master."

I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say.

"We lost so much that year. If my brother's child were still alive, he would be seventeen now. Does he look more like my sister-in-law or my brother? Many people say that sons look more like their mothers, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Le Zhengfang gave a bitter smile.

Le Zhengying knew about the scandal that Le Zhenghe was reluctant to keep secret, which was that Le Zhenghe's newborn son was drowned in the lake and his wife was forced to commit suicide.

The villa has been empty and has a barrier set up all this time because of the curse from Yue Zhenghe's wife Murong Ying.

"You will be punished for what you have done. Even if I die, my son will come back to Lezheng to avenge me and Ah He. I curse you, and I curse you to die a miserable death."

Murong Ying was fed poisoned wine, and when she died, she stared at everyone with her eyes open. One person fainted on the spot and never woke up again. The next day, a baby drowned in the lake in front of the courtyard, and everyone said it was Murong Ying's son.

"Master has liked Shui Ling since she was young, why didn't you accept her?"

Le Zhengfang came to his senses.

"Shui Ling, she's exactly like me when I was a kid, relying on someone to protect her, fearless, always causing trouble, getting punished here and there. When I look at her, I feel close to her, so I like her."

When Le Zhengfang said this, his face was filled with a smile, as if he was thinking of some happy past event, but soon the smile turned into sadness.

"Her eyes really look like my sister-in-law's. When I saw her looking at me, it was as if she was blaming me, why wasn't I at home? Why couldn't I protect her son? I was afraid that I couldn't pretend anymore. I was afraid that I would ruin Le Zheng. I really wanted to ruin Le Zheng with my own hands."

She wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve.

Le Zhengying knew that her main worry was not this, but that her identity would become their biggest obstacle, and even bring them fatal disaster.

This is also one of the reasons why she has never accepted an apprentice. It took her a long time of struggle and repeated consideration before she decided to accept one.

"Master, do you still remember that when the old man was here, he would often bring Shuiling here to play. Sometimes they would play on that road for a long time. When they were thirsty or hungry, they would come to you to ask for food or drink. They were not polite at all. After a while, they became familiar with each other. But they became familiar with each other and became less polite. They treated your home as their own. Sometimes they would come to play by themselves and give them food and drink as they pleased."

Le Zhengfang couldn't help laughing when he thought of these things.

"How could I not remember? I told you so. Yes, when the old man was still alive, my place was actually more lively."

"I came late, and I didn't get to see him many times. The old man has a saying that he often says: One day someone will appear, someone who will change Le Zheng. I wonder if Master remembers it."

"Remember, I told you this. The old man used to bring Shui Ling here to play. Every time he came there, he would point to the direction of the other courtyard and say to Shui Ling: Shui Ling, one day, there will be someone who will come to our Le Zheng and change our Le Zheng, and even change the whole world. He knew where the other courtyard was. So many years have passed, and now when I think about it, it was just his beautiful vision."

"Maybe that person has already appeared?"

Le Zhengfang looked up at her, not with the intention of comforting herself. She immediately thought of Le Zheng Yuhua and for a moment she didn't understand why she was thinking of him.

"Do you really think that the person the old man is talking about is him?"

"Master, do you still remember the oracle? One day, a man holding a divine sword will come to the world and bring peace to the world."

"God's Sword? Do you really think that's the God's Sword?"

"At least he is the child brought back by Senior Brother Yang Yan."

"Yang Yan? He was the first disciple accepted by Senior Brother Qin. Senior Brother Qin didn't like to socialize with others, and our generation became masters very early. Senior Brother Qin, who was not even thirty at the time, half-heartedly accepted such a disciple. He originally had a crush on Zuo Si."

"Isn't that the only disciple of the He family master?"

This was the first time Le Zhengying had heard of this and he was shocked.

"Yes, Zuo Si is calm and quiet. In comparison, Yang Yan is too lively. How can Senior Brother Qin get along with him?"

"and then?"

"Then?" Le Zhengfang couldn't help but smile, and then continued: "In short, they caused trouble for Brother Qin and my brother. Yang Yan, Zuo Si and Brother Zhi are three good brothers, and they are the three most frequent visitors to the Hall of Repentance."

"Ah, so Senior Brother Zuo Si is also so naughty? I don't think Le Zheng Yuhua is naughty either."

"Now that you've said that, I think the three of Zuo Si and Yu Hua are really alike. Shui Ling is like Yang Yan, Qi Ming is like Senior Brother Zhi, and Yu Hua and Zuo Si's personalities are also quite similar.

I was too young to see it clearly before, but now I see that it looks more and more like Zosi. Alas, even for this reason, I dare not conclude that the sword is the Heavenly Sword.

What exactly Yang Yan was planning to do when he came back with Yu Hua and Jian? Even Senior Brother Qin couldn't guess, let alone me.

The reason for their disappearance was related to the theft of Fu Shou Garden in the backyard, which was a garden dedicated to ancestors. All I knew was that the tomb of an ancient ancestor was robbed.

In Fu Shou Garden, the ancestors who have tombs there must be extraordinary, so there can't be too many. I have also checked the classics one by one. Although I didn't find out the reason, I roughly guessed that it is related to the foundation of my Le Zheng.

Why didn't the five elders make any move on this matter that concerns the foundation of Lezheng? What on earth are they planning?"

When Le Zhengying saw her talking about the "foundation", she fell silent, as if she was thinking about something, with her brows furrowed extremely tightly. She quickly smiled and took the teacup from her hand.

"Master, it's getting late. You should go to bed early."

"Okay, take a rest. You should take a rest too."

"Let me wait for you to rest first."

Le Zhengfang got up and went to rest.
