Chapter 400 - On the Sea (1/2)
People have to make different choices living in this world every day. You never know how long the choice you make at this moment will affect your future.
Of course, Mu Feiqiang does not choose to kill the seventh prince—she is not an evil person, and she has to take Mus’ interests into consideration. Therefore, Miss Mu will not be so stupid to make such a decision.
The seventh prince is less favored, but he is still the prince of Penglai. If the Mu family kills him and leaves any trail, the crime of murdering the royal family will be enough to destroy Mus.
However, this man is very cruel and vicious. He tried to defile Mu Feiqiang. As a tough businesswoman, she can’t just let it go.
Knowing that there is a potion able to make people forget what happened in a certain period of time, Mu Feiqiang makes a bold decision.
Well, really bold.
At least Lin Luoran is deeply impressed by Mu Feiqiang’s decision. Mu Feiqiang is the one who is hurt most. In order to revenge on the seventh prince for what he has done to the Mu family, she decides to let him be Lin Luoran’s temporary servant.
Lin Luoran does not need a servant. Therefore, the seventh prince named Sang Ye has been tending horses for the caravan after his personal ability is sealed.
So his official position should be a groom.
The Mu caravan also newly hires a groom for free, Zhang Dahei.
It is obvious that the seventh prince Sang Ye will suffer a lot in the future. Looking at his eyes full of grievance, Lin Luoran sneers. Sang Ye should be thankful that she has not told Zhang Dahei about Sang Ye cutting off his wife’s head.
Carts b.u.mp along the rough road, and Lin Luoran is no longer in the carriage.
Wood wolf says that there is a secret ability called Soul Search, which is very useful to interrogate cultivators. Lin Luoran wants to study it.
However, it has one drawback. When it is used to torture mortals, their consciousness will collapse and become idiots because of the fragility of the mortal bodies… Is this the little difference between spells of monsters and the human race? Lin Luoran remembers there is a kind of Soul Search technique in White Fairy’s memory bead. Although it is not orthodox, it doesn’t have sequela like that, so it seems to be better.
“No matter which dynasty, hierarchy always controls many secrets. With the Soul Search technique, you can just start directly from the so-called seventh prince. Isn’t it the best way?” Wood wolf is tempting her. It wants to ask Lin Luoran to learn its Soul Search technique.
Lin Luoran is sitting on the swing, eating strawberries. She has to admit that she is kind of tempted.
However, the cultivator does not act without rules. Using mortals who have not provoked cultivators will eventually become the Devil Inside for advance—besides, Lin Luoran doesn’t follow what a mean little man does.
She knows why the wood wolf tries so hard. It is the last one to come to s.p.a.ce, and it always afraid that it can’t hold a special place in her heart as fire phoenix and silver fish. That’s the reason why it provided formulas of Bolus and also offers to teach her Soul Search technique now.
The wood wolf is so clingy that Lin Luoran has to learn the soul-searching technique. However, she doesn’t use it on Sang Ye.
The three big monsters laugh at her kindness. Lin Luoran says eloquently.
“The seventh prince is not loved. The ninth prince is a better choice.”
The monsters sneer at her words. The ninth prince is a man of influence, but he is still less powerful than the king. Why doesn’t she go to get the king of Penglai? Lin Luoran rolls her eyes and begins her self-cultivation in s.p.a.ce.
After a few days, Lin Luoran is studying how the Soul Search technique can be used on ordinary people without hurting them. At this moment, the Mu caravan has chosen to travel by water and get on the boat.
The sea is s.p.a.cious. Even if people of the seventh prince want to rescue him, it is like looking for a needle in a bottle of hay. The n.o.ble prince can only accept his fate.
Mu Qingshan feels very worried when he sees Zhang Dahei directing the young man whose birthmark of cyan phoenix has been hidden. He is not worried that Sang Ye is rebellious. On the contrary, he is very obedient. People who can endure silently will eventually accomplish impressive things.
Lin Luoran says the potion can make people have a bit of memory loss for a certain time. To put it bluntly, Mr. Mu is just worried that if it is true.
He asks Mu Feiqiang to ask this question for him.
In Mu Qingshan’s view, last time, Lin Luoran did not mind teaching Mu Feiqiang to make the potion. In this case, he thinks her niece and Warrior Lin have already been like student and teacher. The Mu Family is not flattering itself. Teaching unique techniques like martial arts or formulas of potions can affect people’s life. This is a universal rule, whether in Penglai or Ying.
Mu Feiqiang talks in a roundabout way to tell Lin Ruoan Mu Qingshan’s question. Lin Luoran feels Mus are too worried.
“In fact, there is a more secure method. Since you have chosen to support the ninth prince, it doesn’t matter that the seven prince still remembers today’s humiliation when the other prince takes the throne.
Mu Feiqiang seems to understand it.
Lin Luoran’s eyes turn around. With the writing brush she bought before boarding the s.h.i.+p, she paints a vivid branch on the rice paper in a minute. Mu Feiqiang holds her breath. She is excited and nervous.
“Is this a tree?”
Lin Luoran shakes her head, “It’s called achyranthes root, a kind of medicine. It’s good for pain and edema.”
