Villain: I Can See Destiny

26: Chapter 26 Xiao Xianyun of the Immortal RealmImperial Capital, Dantai Princes Mansion.

Ever since Old Prince Dantai’s birthday celebration ended, Dantai Mingyue had been in seclusion, cultivating.

At the last banquet, she had seen Luo Cang and Emperor Lin Shu chatting happily, and the heart she had been holding in suspense finally settled.

She was genuinely happy for her friend for finally learning to be flexible.

Her cultivation over these past few days had advanced further, and she was not far from breaking through to the next realm...

Feeling restless after being still for so long, Dantai Mingyue decided to inquire about news regarding Luo Cang.

When she introduced Luo Cang to Old Prince Dantai last time, she just wanted him to gain the Old Prince’s appreciation, but she hadn’t expected him to actually gain the favor of Your Majesty.

Luo Cang, who was ambitious and determined to bring glory to his Family, should be working hard to revitalize his household right now...

As if thinking of something, Dantai Mingyue’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Ever since the end of Old Prince Dantai’s birthday celebration, he had constantly been telling her how outstanding Your Majesty was.

Entering the Void Shattering Realm at twenty broke the long-standing record of Li Kingdom; afterwards, he was even admitted to the Heavenly Dao Academy, becoming the first Prodigy from Li Kingdom to enter the Heavenly Dao Academy.

Now that he had returned, he was already a powerhouse in the Dao Heaven Realm, despite being only in his early thirties...

As the legitimate daughter of the Dantai Princes Mansion, she naturally knew what Old Prince Dantai was implying.

However, although he admired Your Majesty’s talent and brilliance, she had absolutely no favorable feelings toward Your Majesty.

He was too arrogant and simply wouldn’t listen to anyone else’s words. How many incorruptible and good officials in the Imperial Capital had been suppressed by him? Even her Revered Master had not escaped this disaster, and the Tianya Academy had declined ever since.

However, she had a favorable impression of the person who accompanied Your Majesty at the last banquet, though that didn’t mean she liked him.

It was just that the person’s appearance and temperament were too outstanding. She thought, ”A jade-like man on the road, a Young Master without peer in the world,” that probably described him.

At the banquet, he had also been courteous and refined; he must be a kind and warm-hearted person.

She just couldn’t understand how such a person could become good friends with Your Majesty.

Suddenly, Dantai Mingyue gave a self-deprecating smile. What was she thinking about?

Afterward, she shook her head slightly and walked out of her room, heading toward Old Prince Dantai’s residence.

She wanted to ask what Old Prince Dantai’s opinion of Luo Cang was.

Just then, Dantai Mingyue saw her maid, Xiao Cai.

She was both a maid and a close friend; the two had grown up together since childhood.

”Young Miss, you have finally finished your seclusion.”

Seeing Dantai Mingyue emerge from seclusion, Xiao Cai revealed two small dimples.

Dantai Mingyue nodded in response.

Suddenly, she asked with some concern, ”Has Luo Cang come looking for me during this time?”

It was because she had been in seclusion last time that an extremely serious misunderstanding had occurred between her and Luo Cang.

Xiao Cai shook her head, her expression somewhat complicated, ”Young Master Luo has not come to our Dantai Princes Mansion during this period.”

Seeing Xiao Cai’s expression, she asked with concern, ”Has something happened?”

Xiao Cai whispered, ”During the time you were in seclusion, Young Miss, many major events occurred in the Imperial Capital.”

She then recounted the recent events.

Dantai Mingyue nodded as she listened, sighing with emotion.

She had long known that such a day would come, but she hadn’t expected Your Majesty to have such courage.

To actually choose to purge the old factions of the former imperial Family all at once.

Xiao Cai looked at Dantai Mingyue, hesitating a little, but ultimately spoke up; the Young Miss would find out sooner or later anyway.

”You... Young Miss, the Guo Manor was also included in this purge...”

Hearing this, Dantai Mingyue’s willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart: ”What does this mean?”

Xiao Cai kept her head down, not daring to look at Dantai Mingyue: ”The Guo Manor was executed to the last person by the Inspection Bureau, and the leader of the Inspection Bureau is... Young Master Luo.”

Hearing this, Dantai Mingyue’s eyes widened, and she muttered, ”How is this possible? This is impossible!”

”Luo Cang is not that kind of person. The Guo Manor is the Family of my Revered Master!”

Suddenly, Dantai Mingyue grabbed Xiao Cai’s shoulders, speaking with great agitation: ”What about Revered Master? How is Revered Master?”

”He... he was also executed by the Inspection Bureau,” Xiao Cai whispered.

”This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Revered Master is... he is an expert at the Peak of the Saint King Realm...”

Dantai Mingyue was devastated, her face full of disbelief.

How could Luo Cang kill his Revered Master?

But she knew in her heart that Xiao Cai could not possibly be joking with her about such a thing.

Dantai Mingyue’s expression shifted constantly, her chest heaving.

Suddenly, she turned into a rainbow and flew toward the direction of the Luo Residence.

She wanted to ask Luo Cang for an explanation.

Was it beyond his control, or had he changed, becoming someone who would stop at nothing for power?

If that were the case, she would definitely avenge her teacher and purge the sect for him.

...

The Land Beyond Immortality, a vast, boundless, yet desolate land rarely visited by humans.

Legend has it that there is a world-destroying Great Devil here, and even a True Immortal would fall if they came here.

Therefore, this place has become the preferred refuge for those being hunted by large Families.

Although it contains many Opportunities, no one enters except for those who are doomed to die or have nowhere else to turn.

Because no one has ever been seen coming out of it.

The Land Beyond Immortality, the very center.

There is a small village that looks like a paradise on earth.

When many Cultivators and savage giant beasts with terrifying auras look toward that place, they all reveal expressions of fear and awe, as if there is a terrifying existence there.

”Revered Master Haiyao, I am going to leave this place.”

A young girl with red hair and red clothes, whose features were as exquisite as a porcelain doll, bid farewell to a woman in front of her.

Hearing this, the woman turned around.

In an instant, it felt as if all things in heaven and earth lost their color.

The woman had a devilishly alluring face.

White hair and red eyes, red lips dripping with charm, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth. A dark purple robe wrapped around her curvaceous figure, and her temperament perfectly illustrated the fusion of ice and fire.

”Xianyun, are you sure you want to leave? With your current cultivation at the Early Stage of the Void Shattering Realm, you might not necessarily be able to defeat that person with Double Pupils.”

The woman’s voice was cold, yet one could hear the concern within it.

Hearing this, Xiao Xianyun nodded vigorously, her eyes firm: ”This is a once-in-a-thousand-years Opportunity. If I cannot defeat him in front of the entire Family, I will never be able to vent this foul breath.”

The pain of having her bone dug out back then, she would never forget it in her entire life. If it weren’t for his Double Pupils discerning her Supreme Bone, she would not have suffered this disaster.

”Xiao Yi, and all the people in your lineage who participated, I will not let a single one of you go!” Xiao Xianyun silently swore in her heart.

However, it was a blessing in disguise. If she hadn’t experienced this disaster, she wouldn’t have met these uncles and Revered Master Haiyao.

With Revered Master’s help, she even grew a new Supreme Bone!

Revered Master Haiyao is such a good person; she is definitely not the big Devil Head that the outside world rumors her to be!

”I cannot leave Tianhai Village for the time being. For your safety, you had better take the Four Devils with you.”

Seeing that Xiao Xianyun was determined to leave, Di Haiyao no longer tried to persuade her.

”Revered Master Haiyao, farewell. Xianyun will definitely come back to see you often.”

Xiao Xianyun bowed deeply to Di Haiyao, then turned and walked toward the outside of the village.

Di Haiyao’s expression was dazed; this scene was truly familiar.

In the distant past, she had also treated her own Revered Master this way.

Suddenly, the warm memory turned into bone-chilling cold.

She recalled the scene of being killed by her Revered Master again.

”Revered Master, how cruel your heart is!”

On Di Haiyao’s stunningly beautiful face, she appeared somewhat ferocious, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
