Villain: I Can See Destiny

19: Chapter 19 Luo Cang’s RebirthAfter returning to the Xiao Clan, Young Master Xiao Zimo spent his days idly, either teasing Nangong Yi or flirting with Xia Yanran, failing to fulfill any of his responsibilities as the Young Lord of the Family.

Just when he thought such days would continue until his coming-of-age ceremony, he suddenly received a message from Emperor Lin Shu.

The general gist was that he was about to be crowned emperor and hoped that Young Master Xiao Zimo would show his support, lest anyone harbor any improper thoughts.

Young Master Xiao Zimo thought about it and decided to show his support; after all, he was just idling at home anyway.

Furthermore, this Emperor Lin Shu was one of his confidants from the Heavenly Dao Academy—or to put it bluntly, his lackey—but this lackey was very capable and knew how to flatter him well.

Moreover, he had contributed significantly to his father’s successful usurpation of the throne...

Young Master Xiao Zimo greeted his father and left the Xiao Clan alone.

Considering that Nangong Yi still had many things to instruct Xia Yanran on, he did not bring her along this time.

...

Qingtian Ancient Domain, Silver Moon Prefecture, Li Kingdom.

A young man with a determined expression slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sense of vicissitudes that did not match his age.

The man was about thirty years old, with a cultivation base in the Middle Stage of the Void Shattering Realm, and his talent could only be considered above average.

There was a trace of confusion in his eyes as he looked around: ”Is this my home?”

He became instantly excited, rushed to the mirror, saw his current appearance, and muttered: ”I really came back, I really came back!”

As if remembering something, he suddenly closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness.

A bead, as dazzling as the sun, was floating quietly in his Sea of Consciousness.

The heavenly dao bead! It was precisely the reliance for his Rebirth this time.

”Emperor Lin Shu! Young Master Xiao Zimo!”

The young man let out a low, beast-like growl.

His name was Luo Cang, and he was the son of Minister Luo Liang, a third-rank official of the Li Kingdom.

His father came from a humble background and had always been an upright and incorruptible official, a good official who could plead for the people of the Li Kingdom.

However, during this change of dynasty, he became one of the officials who were purged.

In his previous life, because Minister Luo Liang was loyal to the royal Family, he had cursed the Lin Family as treacherous subjects when they ascended the throne.

In the end, he was ordered to die while on his way to exile outside the border.

The Luo Residence was also implicated, resulting in the execution of the entire Family.

The hatred of having his Family exterminated naturally made Luo Cang view the Lin Family as his mortal enemy.

But even though Luo Cang’s talent was good, he still appeared too weak when facing the behemoth that was the Lin Family.

It was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an egg hitting a rock; there was simply no hope of revenge.

He could only watch helplessly as the Lin Family became the new royal Family.

Luo Cang thought he would continue to live in such a wretched state, but he did not expect that by chance, he would obtain the heavenly dao bead, which was almost an Immortal Artifact.

The heavenly dao bead could constantly help him deduce the future, and relying on such a Heaven-Defying item, he kept encountering Opportunities, cultivating to the Great Saint Realm at less than a thousand years old.

Finally, after lurking for a thousand years, he emerged, rising up with the supreme posture of a Great Saint, rallying the former royalists to challenge the Lin Family.

Under the tyranny of Emperor Lin Shu, many noble clans and factions were already dissatisfied, but because the retired emperor of the Lin Family was a Great Saint Realm existence, they could only swallow their anger, powerless.

Now that they saw a Great Saint Realm existence leading the uprising, they naturally responded one after another.

For a time, the hearts of the people were with him, and the momentum was grand and invincible; the insurgent army surrounded the imperial capital in less than a month.

Just when he thought victory was in sight, Young Master Xiao Zimo appeared.

Young Master Xiao Zimo stood atop the imperial city, watching the world’s turmoil with a smile, as countless golden-armored soldiers poured out from the black ring on his hand.

The previously invincible insurgent army was like paper, collapsing at the first blow.

And he himself, with a flash of purple light, was beheaded by a single sword strike, unable to react at all, knowing only that it was Young Master Xiao Zimo who had struck.

At the last moment, the heavenly dao bead emitted a brilliant divine light, bringing his consciousness back to a thousand years ago.

He had started all over again!

”Emperor Lin Shu, Young Master Xiao Zimo, just you wait!”

When he obtained the heavenly dao bead back then, it was already many years later, and he had missed many opportunities to change his fate.

But now that he possessed years of cultivation experience and the ability to deduce the future, he would definitely rewrite his fate in this life.

”Father.” Luo Cang muttered.

He both respected and hated his father.

He hated his father for being pedantic, cursing the Lin Family even when he knew the trend was irreversible, which led to the execution of the entire Luo Family.

He respected his father for being a third-rank official who was upright and governed clearly, capable of pleading for the people.

But no matter what kind of emotions he held, he was still his father!

”It is now the seventh year of Xiaohong, and there is still over a month until the change of dynasty.”

Luo Cang concentrated and deduced for a while, then breathed a sigh of relief; things hadn’t happened yet, and there was still a chance for everything.

To prevent accidents, he should put his father under house arrest during this period.

Otherwise, history would definitely repeat itself; although his father was already disliked by the Lin Family, he would definitely be exiled after Emperor Lin Shu ascended the throne.

But exile was better than extermination.

After sorting these things out, he pushed the door open and walked out of the room.

He looked at his courtyard; it was not big, and there were no valuable items, but it had a sense of nostalgia.

The courtyard was not big, but compared to other officials of the same rank and ordinary people, it could be considered a behemoth.

After all, this was an official residence of the Li Kingdom; it was impossible to assign a small civilian hut to a third-rank high official.

You might not care, but the Li Kingdom still had a reputation to maintain.

Ever since Minister Luo Liang was disliked by the Lin Family, the Disciples of the Luo Residence, whether they were officials or not, had all become low-key.

The entire Luo Residence was filled with gloom and lacked any Life Qi.

Apparently, they already knew the future fate of their Family.

Luo Cang saw this scene but did not feel much turmoil.

Having gone through the pain of Family extermination, he only felt that it was good for everyone to be alive.

At this moment, a young girl walked towards him, came up to him, and revealed a sweet smile: ”Brother, you finally decided to come out!”

Seeing the girl in front of him, Luo Cang also revealed a gentle smile, a trace of excitement flashing in the depths of his eyes.

The girl was his younger sister, Luo Qing.

They had an extremely good relationship; because they were more than ten years apart, and his mother had passed away early while his father was busy with official business, Luo Qing was practically raised by him.

However, in his previous life, she had also perished in that Family extermination case.

This was the pain of his life.

Seeing his sister intact before him, Luo Cang secretly swore in his heart that he must protect her well in this life.
