Villain: I Can See Destiny

27: Chapter 27 The Chosen One Abandoned by AllDantai Mingyue arrived at the Luo Residence, but was informed by the clansmen of the Luo Residence with complex expressions that Luo Cang hadn’t returned home for some time.

She had no choice but to send people to search for him again.

It was true that Luo Cang hadn’t returned to the residence during this period.

On one hand, he didn’t know how to face his younger sister and his clansmen.

The Luo Residence, which had risen from humble beginnings, cared deeply about its reputation.

And the good reputation the old Revered Master had accumulated over many years had been completely destroyed by his hands in a single day.

On the other hand, he was indeed ”very busy” during this time.

Whether Emperor Lin Shu intended it or not, most of those whose homes were raided were from humble backgrounds.

In front of a mansion, Luo Cang stood with his hands behind his back, his body filled with Evil Qi, his face expressionless.

This made the others in the Inspection Bureau feel incessant palpitations.

They didn’t understand why their commander, who had never personally taken action, possessed such immense Evil Qi.

This also made them admire him endlessly; Commander Luo was truly born for this line of work.

Screams constantly came from within the mansion, and some tough-minded individuals even cursed at Luo Cang: ”You dog of the Lin family, you will meet your retribution!”

”I will be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs.”

...

Facing these curses, Luo Cang listened with an expressionless face, his eyes devoid of any ripples.

He had experienced this scene far too many times.

His heart had long since become numb.

And the revenge deep in his heart had become his faith, as well as the motivation for him to persevere.

Given his current performance, he should be deeply valued by Emperor Lin Shu now, right?

Suddenly, a familiar, trembling voice reached his ears: ”Luo Cang...”

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Cang’s heart skipped a beat.

For the first time, an expression other than cold indifference appeared on his face.

Dantai Mingyue looked at Luo Cang with disbelief, which immediately turned into sadness and anger.

Her good friend had truly changed; the gentleness and righteousness he once possessed had completely vanished, leaving only ruthlessness and numbness.

”So you really became the commander of the Inspection Bureau. Did you really kill Revered Master?”

A voice as cold as the ice of the Nine Netherworlds came from Dantai Mingyue’s mouth.

Luo Cang remained silent, offering no defense. Although he hadn’t been the one to strike, it was he who had given the order.

Watching the silent Luo Cang, the last shred of hope in her heart shattered along with it.

The friend before her made her feel so unfamiliar. She had once thought she understood him well enough, and had even secretly given him her heart.

She truly regretted it now; she shouldn’t have invited him to attend the birthday banquet that day.

If he and Emperor Lin Shu hadn’t met, everything would be different, right?

He wanted to bring glory to his family and desired power; she could understand all of that.

But if he resorted to unscrupulous means and slaughtered the innocent for the sake of these things...

Then she would be the one to end it all. Everything started because of her, and it should end because of her.

However, out of consideration for their many years of friendship, Dantai Mingyue decided to give him one more chance: ”Luo Cang, turn back. Resign from your position in the Inspection Bureau, and we can start over and work hard together.”

Luo Cang gazed at the grief-stricken and indignant Dantai Mingyue, his heart filled with pain, but he couldn’t explain anything. He knew that Emperor Lin Shu’s spies must be nearby.

He had already come this far; he absolutely could not let all his efforts be wasted because of romantic feelings.

Otherwise, how could he face the dead, and how could he face his Revered Master, who had trusted him until the very end!

Luo Cang remained expressionless: ”What are you talking about? Working for Your Majesty is the supreme honor for people like us.”

Dantai Mingyue said nothing more and resolutely turned to leave.

She had already given him a chance. Their friendship was at an end; from now on, they were enemies upon meeting.

Watching her departing figure, Luo Cang murmured in his heart: ”Mingyue, one day you will understand me...”

...

After Dantai Mingyue returned to the Dantai Princes Mansion, the first thing she did was investigate why Luo Cang had become like this.

Had someone seized leverage over him and then threatened him into doing these things?

With her all-out investigation, she finally found a clue.

Uncle Luo had gone missing!

She felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. The other party must have used Uncle Luo to threaten Luo Cang; otherwise, she couldn’t imagine why Luo Cang’s personality had changed so drastically.

In order to find Uncle Luo, she even faked the Prince’s orders and mobilized the secret agents of the Dantai Princes Mansion.

Finally, the next day, she received news.

But this news made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar—Uncle Luo had actually been placed under house arrest by Luo Cang!

It turned out that everything had been her own wishful thinking; there was no one threatening him at all.

Luo Cang had truly become beyond redemption; one could even say he was insane.

Killing his Revered Master and imprisoning his father—what else was he afraid to do?

Perhaps she had never truly understood him. Perhaps Luo Cang was someone who would disregard everything for power, only he hadn’t had the opportunity before.

Since he was a devil she had released with her own hands, she should be the one to clean it up...

...

Time passed in a flash; there were only three days left until the new Emperor’s coronation.

The Emperor’s purge had finally ceased.

This allowed many factions that hadn’t been purged to heave a sigh of relief. After all, they were all officials of the previous dynasty, and no one dared to guarantee that the new Emperor wouldn’t purge them.

And the name of Luo Cang had long spread throughout the Imperial Capital, and he was even crowned with the title of Death God.

His reputation was notorious.

He was a thorn in the side of those from humble backgrounds.

But at the same time, he was also an idol for some people at the bottom of society; the son of a disgraced official had become a pivotal figure in the new dynasty in just over twenty days.

Regarding this point, even those who hated him had to admire him.

It wasn’t that no one wanted to assassinate Luo Cang, but Emperor Lin Shu stood behind him. If this Luo Cang were killed, there would be another Luo Cang.

Perhaps it would even incite the Emperor’s rage, and then more people would be implicated.

...

Luo Cang hadn’t returned to the Luo Residence for a long time.

It was unknown who discovered his father, whom he had placed under house arrest, and now the Luo Residence was back under his father’s control.

Minister Luo Liang had already announced to the outside world that he was severing father-son ties with him and had expelled him from the family genealogy.

And the woman he loved had also been targeting him during this period, with an attitude of refusing to let the matter rest until one of them died.

All of this was worse than the results deduced by the heavenly dao bead; he no longer dared to trust the heavenly dao bead’s deductions.

But there was no turning back for him long ago.

Even if there was an abyss of Hell ahead, he would grit his teeth and push through.

...

Dantai Princes Mansion, inside a magnificent hall.

Dantai Mingyue was as cold as frost, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

These days, she had used many connections and methods, wanting to bring Luo Cang down.

But the other party remained as prominent as ever, which made Dantai Mingyue understand who was behind him. Only one person could achieve all this, and that was Emperor Lin Shu, who was about to ascend the throne.

However, she couldn’t understand why His Majesty would trust Luo Cang so much; just because they had chatted happily that day?

Dantai Mingyue walked forward slowly, whispering to herself: ”Now, only that person has the ability to make Emperor Lin Shu execute Luo Cang...”

A magnificent white figure appeared in her mind.

Thinking of this, Dantai Mingyue left the hall directly and headed towards where Young Master Xiao Zimo was located.

Although Young Master Xiao Zimo hadn’t appeared in public since that banquet, he hadn’t deliberately covered his tracks either.

For the all-powerful Dantai Princes Mansion, finding him was relatively easy.
