Hua Qiyue twisted her eyebrows. It was a nice deal. But then she thought about it and said, “The Seventh Elder, if you tell me everything when you are out, I will release your grandson.”
The Seventh Elder kept nodding his head.
The other Spiritual Bodies all exclaimed in a sudden, “The Seventh Elder…”
If they asked for help, they were afraid that the Seventh Elder would find them repulsive, so they just kept their mouths shut.
And they couldn’t forget how patronizing they were to the Seventh Elder and how they despised him.
“Deal!” The Seventh Elder agreed.
Hua Qiyue took a deep breath. She did not want the Seventh Elder to reveal her past in front of other Spiritual Bodies inside.
Though they didn’t stand a chance of getting out, Hua Qiyue would rather keep the information to herself.
Hua Qiyue stood up promptly. She went to the Xuanyuan Family’s rockery, and then took out the Spirit-summoning Mirror and mumbled, “The Seventh Elder, come out!”
And then the Seventh Elder’s soul slowly came out of the Spirit-summoning Mirror and finally landed on his withering body.
Hua Qiyue had used some runes to preserve those bodies, but the runes only worked for a few days, and then the bodies would start to rot. However, Hua Qiyue didn’t plan to let those people out, so she was not worried.
The Seventh Elder stretched himself up. He had a lanky figure and ordinary features. There was nothing extraordinary about him.
“What do you want to know? Princess?”
Hua Qiyue highly appreciated the Seventh Elder’s prophesying ability because Xuanji did not see anything before. Otherwise, he would tell her, wouldn’t he?
“The Seventh Elder, I want to know who Tianci’s father is,” Hua Qiyue said flatly.
But her heart was beating fiercely.
The Seventh Elder looked at Hua Qiyue calmly. “Can you tell me the date of his birth and the eight characters of his horoscope?”
Hua Qiyue hesitated for a moment and finally told the Seventh Elder about that.
The Seventh Elder bent his fingers and started to prophesy. Feeling puzzled, he said, “The little boy had gone through calamities in his childhood. But after his lucky star shows up, he will realize his ambition and shake the whole world. As for his natural father, I can only see him vaguely. His surname is Yun, and he is a man of the hour. He had twisted relations with you in your previous life.”
Hua Qiyue’s heart missed a beat. Yun? And they had twisted relations in her previous life?
“The Seventh Elder, what are the twisted relations? Are they the entanglements in the previous life?” Hua Qiyue could not remember that she had any entanglement with a man surnamed Yun in her previous life.
“Exactly. Your love was intense, but you ended up dead because of someone. Your previous life was really bumpy, but this life seems to be good for you. At least you are already a Qi Artist at the first level of Holy God, and you also know how to use runes. You are unparalleled,” said the Seventh Elder.
Hua Qiyue was a bit stunned. She hadn’t expected him to know so much.
“Is there anything else you can tell? If it is only that, please excuse me cause I don’t remember anyone surnamed Yun,” said Hua Qiyue coldly.
The Seventh Elder was not in a hurry. He broke into a mysterious smile. “About your past, I am very curious… How did you turn from Rong Qiyue into Hua Qiyue?”
Hua Qiyue was shocked from head to toe. She looked at the Seventh Elder in silence.
“I have been retired for decades. I noticed you because of Yun Shimo, but according to the information inquired by my family, you are just the incompetent legitimate daughter in Hua’s Mansion. But you made yourself famous gradually. And I just figured out why you adopted the boy today.”
Hua Qiyue sighed, “Well, what’s the full name of the person surnamed Yun?”
“Yun Zhaochuan.”
Hua Qiyue was struck dumb for a while. To her, that wasn’t a familiar name. She did not have any relations with someone surnamed Yun, not even her guests or her regulars in the restaurant.
“Where is he?”
“Princess, that’s all I can see. I really can’t see other things.” The Seventh Elder felt helpless and shook his head.
Hua Qiyue stood there silently. A bright moon was in the sky. It was an intoxicating night, but her heart was in chaos.
“Yun Zhaochuan?”
Alright! She mentally marked that name. But it might be difficult to look for the man. Even the Divine Eyes Organization could not do it, which meant that guy must be somewhat powerful.
Hua Qiyue took out the Spirit-summoning Mirror without a word. She released the Seventh Elder’s grandson, Xuanyuan Jiang. They looked at each other. “Princess, are you letting us go or…”
“Or?”
“Make them her slaves?”
Hua Qiyue was not that sick. She just smiled. “You can tell me something about Xuanyuan Wutian. The more, the better. Your Xuanyuan Family has done so many wicked deeds. Whether you tell me or not, Yun Shimo will defeat Xuanyuan Wutian.”
The Seventh Elder wore a mysterious smile. At that moment, Hua Qiyue suddenly had a feeling that the guy in front of her was the most mysterious and the most powerful person in the Xuanyuan Family.
At least, in his fate, he could impress her so that she could let him out.
“The cat cannot be let out of the bag. Nature will take its course,” the Seventh Elder said matter-of-factly.
Hua Qiyue sized Xuanyuan Jiang up and down. That man was about twenty years old. His face was still young. But he was already a Qi Artist at the great completeness of Round Sun. It seemed that he was really talented.
“Yun Shimo, please come out. You don’t need to guard against me. Xuanyuan Family has indeed wronged you. You can have my life now!” the Seventh Elder suddenly said indifferently.
Hua Qiyue was slightly stunned. She didn’t know that Yun Shimo had come.
She had released the Seventh Elder and Xuanyuan Jiang without discussing it with anyone. Would that upset him?
Someone showed up from the woods on the left slowly. Hua Qiyue stood there silently, not knowing what to say.
Yun Shimo came over to Hua Qiyue. He took a glance at the Seventh Elder and then at Hua Qiyue. “Qiyue, what did he mean?”
He didn’t blame her but asked her a question first.
After all, Hua Qiyue did not argue with the Seventh Elder about what he had just said.
Hua Qiyue smiled. She didn’t have to hide anything in front of that man.
“In my previous life, I was Rong Qiyue. And the reason why I adopted Tianci is that he is my real son.”
Hua Qiyue’s words made Yun Shimo dumb for a little while. The Seventh Elder sighed and said, “Twisted relations, twisted relations.”
Xuanyuan Jiang looked at them. He found everything very incredulous.
“I see…” Yun Shimo stole a glance at the Seventh Elder but remained silent.
Hua Qiyue seemed a little sorry. “Shimo, I let them out without asking for your opinion. Now, I will let you deal with them.”
Hua Qiyue had promised the Seventh Elder to let him out from the Spirit-summoning Mirror but did not promise to let him go.
Yun Shimo shook his head, his voice gentle. “It’s okay. We do need someone to go back and deliver a message. I am very fair. We will take revenge on whoever hunted down our Yun Family. If your previous generations hadn’t done that, then I will not destroy your family. It is not necessary.”
Yun Shimo’s voice became low. “But if you ever think about revenge, then you know what you will end up with.”
The Seventh Elder nodded his head. “It seems that you know everything about our Xuanyuan Family. My previous generations have not got involved in slaughtering your family because our branch only excels at prophesying.”
That was to say, the people in his branch was not so good at Qi Art but at prophesying.
“Go back and tell Xuanyuan Wutian, I am here waiting for him to come,” said Yun Shimo. Then he took Hua Qiyue with him and disappeared.
The Seventh Elder was stunned. He found it unbelievable!
“What happened? That talented guy was just at the first level of Holy God. How did he reach the great completeness of Great Deity in the blink of an eye?” said the Seventh Elder, feeling shocked. Xuanyuan Jiang was on his side supporting him.
“Grandfather, let’s go back home first… Yun Shimo is powerful. Not even the Patriarch could defeat him, or he would not summon the Dark Dragon, right?” said Xuanyuan Jiang gently.
The Seventh Elder made a gentle sigh. “The glory of Xuanyuan Family is going to end this year… This battle has humiliated us. But Xuanyuan Wutian… I have never prophesied for him.”
The grandfather and his grandson walked slowly forward and then used footwork. In a few seconds, they disappeared among the woods.
——————
On the riverside.
The moonlight was faint. It was reflected in the river surface, making the night so beautiful. It shone on Hua Qiyue’s face.
Yun Shimo looked at her stunning face quietly, still thinking about the Seventh Elder’s words.
“Is everything the Seventh Elder said true?” Yun Shimo asked gently.
Hua Qiyue’s facial expression was not right.
“What he said is true. My soul had occupied Hua Qiyue’s body. That’s why there are great changes in me. The old Hua Qiyue was cowardly. She was bullied by everyone. Now that I have her body, I will achieve her dream.”
Hua Qiyue clenched her hands. Though she was not the real Hua Qiyue, Hua Qiyue’s memories were deep inside her heart. It still hurt whenever thinking about them.
“Tianci is my son, so I had to take him back. The scumbag, Zhou Zhicheng, let Princess Huizhen abuse Tianci. A six-year-old child didn’t know anything about how evil one’s heart could be. But that bitch abused him and left him with scars and bruises all over his body.”
Hua Qiyue raised the corner of her lips. “But it doesn’t matter. People who ought to die are dead.”
Yun Shimo’s body shivered. He looked at Hua Qiyue, feeling it unbelievable.
He was really surprised why Hua Qiyue had suddenly changed into another person before. So he sent Bingyi to investigate that but failed to find any clues.
If it was really a rebirth of the soul, then the character might change. So it really made sense.
Yun Shimo had also investigated Rong Qiyue’s past. She was a married woman running a restaurant. She had nothing to do with Hua Qiyue. The only thing they had to do with each other was their names.
However, tonight was a real shocker for him.
Yun Shimo held Hua Qiyue tightly into his arms and gently rubbed her hair.
