Princess Consort With Deadly Destiny

CHAPTER 24: The Great Disciple

'How could they hope to find his body here?!'

'How do you know his identity? And why didn't you report it earlier?!” The officer asked in a serious tone.

Xie Qiao calmly said, “More than half a year ago, I met them when I went down the mountain. I am not in good health. Thanks to their help, I did not faint in the wilderness. Later, I heard that Master Lu had died. It is said that the body of one person has not been found, some even call themselves fugitive slaves. I can't believe it, so I looked it up myself.”

“When I went down the mountain this time, I passed through the place, and found that the soil was soft and the weeds grew more fertile than the rest of the area. I want to find out the reason, but I did not expect to dig his body.” Xie Qiao said unhurriedly.

“This guy became like this. How did you know that it was the servant's body?” Pei Wanyue asked.

Many people followed him and nodded.

'It's just a set of bones, and I can't see what he really is. How do you know this is him?

“This is because he has a mark on his body. He saved me once before. I thanked him and gave him this little bronze mirror, hoping to help him avoid misfortune. But I did not expect the strength of this bronze mirror to be so small and unable to prevent misfortune from befalling him. Xie Qiao opened his mouth and gave a few reasons.

Therefore, he also took out a bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was only the size of a palm, dark and dirty. It seems like it has been on the ground for a long time.

Xie Qiao had many mirrors like this.

It is usually given as a gift to others.

“How could it have been dug up by chance.” Pei Wanyue felt something was not right.

'Although these words sound reasonable, how could there be such a coincidence in this world?'

Xie Qiao looked at him with a smile.

“I... What did I say wrong?” Pei Wanyue looked cautious.

“It was just a coincidence. If Miss Pei feels this is dubious, you can descend into the spirit realm and inquire directly. Why was he buried under my feet and found by me?” Xie Qiao said sarcastically.

Pei Wanyue showed an expression as if she had been persecuted.

After Xie Qiao finished speaking, he poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Suddenly he chuckled again, “You officers must be tired of making this trip. After returning, just let the county magistrate know and say that this is only a matter of the Moon Water Temple and he will understand.”

“Air Month Quail?” The officer was shocked when he heard his words.

Then he looked at Xie Qiao with a shocked expression on his face, “Are you Mo Lingzi's greatest disciple from the Water Moon Shrine, that Half Immortal Xie?!”

Xie Qiao slightly nodded.

“Because this is a Half-Eternal Xie, then it won't be a problem at all. I've spoken so rudely to you, and offended you. I do not know..have I done something taboo?” The attitude of this official changed very quickly.

The moment these words came out, Pei Wanyue was stunned.

"It's okay. The biggest taboo has been triggered by others, and your problem is not big.” Xie Qiao said slowly.

As soon as he said this, the official sighed.

They had long heard of the Water Moon Temple!

In the temple, the real Master, Mo Lingzi had been accurate in all his predictions all along. The real teacher only had one disciple and he was summoned as a Half-Eternal Xie after showing some powerful gifts.

Now the county magistrate has only served a few months. When he first took office, he did not know what kind of misfortune had befallen him. His elderly mother was seriously ill and bedridden. His illness did not improve until he was taken directly to the Water Moon Temple. His condition has improved since then. Now the old woman was healthy and could probably live another twenty years!

This was not the first time this great disciple of the Moon Water Temple had dug up a corpse.

Previously, he had several times made a fortune to help search for missing people for the authorities. All of these efforts are very accurate.

Unfortunately this pair of teachers and disciples rarely came down from the mountain. Each time the county magistrate had to go to the Moon Water Temple to meet them in person. So they had only heard his name but had never seen it in person before.

'Seeing from the characteristics of the wise and otherworldly grand disciple, this was exactly as described by the county magistrate!'

The official's eyes showed respect, while Pei Wanyue's head was in turmoil.

It was fine if only the citizens of the city were like that, but why did the officials also take part?…

“Mr...” Pei Wanyue spoke sadly.

Only then did the officer calm down, then he smiled at Pei Wanyue and said, “Nona, now that the body has been clearly identified and the case has been settled before, so of course the skeleton of the corpse should be buried properly.”

“Identified clearly?” Pei Wanyue was stunned.

All because Xie Qiao said so?

“Confidently, officials will never act on unsubstantiated allegations. Miss Xie has given the identity of the victim, so we will contact her family. When the time comes, someone will come to see his bones. But this was just a bone. There was no guarantee that they would recognize it. It was fortunate that the Moon Water Temple had an excellent reputation outside of the region. We can give an explanation to the victim's family now.”

The reason why they believed in the Water Moon Shrine was not because they were disciples of the gods.

But that's because they often help the authorities.

The reason why the Half-Eternal Xie was able to find those bones was probably not because he happened to pass by, but because he had counted them before. Something similar has happened in the past.

In addition to that…

Such a skeleton did not have a single mark or mark on it. If Xie did not say anything, no matter how much the police investigated him, they would never know who it was. The worst thing that can happen is that there will be one more lost ghost wandering the world.

The officials seemed to believe in Xie Qiao very much.

Pei Wanyue did not even know what to say.

He could only force a smile. “Then, it's good. I was originally worried about Xie Qiao. Now I can finally calm down! Where are you planning on burying this guy, Xie Qiao?”

Xie Qiao was confused. He also did not give a direct answer to Pei Wanyue's question.

Instead, he looked at the bones on the floor and asked, “Mother, who opened my package?”

Madam Lu's expression stiffened. Kinda awkward. “Is this important?”

“Of course this is important. Anyone who opens it should repackage it.” Xie Qiao said without further ado.

As he said this, Pei Wanyue's heart surged. “Mother, I don't want..”

It is human bone!

There's no way she'll touch him!

“Because you have dug it, why can't you pack it back? Wanyue was very young, he had never seen anything like this. How does he handle this?” Madam Lu immediately said. “Based on a bad boy, just treat it like a favor to your sister. I'll also thank you!”

Xie Qiao smiled lightly upon hearing this.

“Which part of Ms. Pei who is my sister? Is it through the bonds of blood that we know or through the inheritance of our ancestors? If it's not both, then we have to make it clear. He has to do what he has to do. If you don't have the heart to let her handle it, you can just take over, Mom. I'm not picky." Xie Qiao said lightly.

Take over?

Madam Lu did not even dare to glance at that body.

“Xie Qiao, you can afford. I can't do it. Please help me, okay?” Pei Wanyue spoke sweetly. He immediately faltered as he looked at Xie Qiao sadly.

Xie Qiao smiled faintly. “Can't, Miss Pei.”

Pei Wanyue's awkward smile was plastered on his face.

At the time, he didn't know what to do. His eyes were red, sobs interrupting every word that came out of his mouth. He's a sad sight.

“Item is yours and you are his older sister. There was not even a need to spend to tidy it up in the slightest.” Amidst the crowd, the running man called the officer exclaiming.

As he said this, several dozen people nodded in agreement.

Xie Qiao had brought his corpse and he left it at his house. Obviously, he is not afraid of these things. However, it was a different matter for ordinary young girls. How did he handle a surprise like this?
