Chapter 107: Can't Be Happy
Chapter 107: Can't Be Happy
It was not until Nie Xiyuan was four years old that his existence was discovered.
The prince had been childless for many years, so Nie Xiyuan was brought to the palace and raised as a future heir.
Nie Xiyuan's mother committed suicide by jumping into a well when her child was taken away.
When Nie Xiyuan was ten years old, the prince died of illness. As the heir, he went to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb, but his leg was broken by a meteorite that fell from the sky.
So everyone thought it was a bad omen for him, but because the prince had no descendants, they found a doctor for him. People thought he would not survive and would die, but unexpectedly he survived.
Nie Xiyuan began to change after he survived. Not only did the palace no longer despise him, but he was allowed to inherit the prince's fiefdom and mansion.
In addition, he just hid in the house and never went out. Even though the rebels were making a lot of trouble outside, no one in the palace suspected him.
Secondly, he had a broken leg, and a disabled person could not inherit the throne, so the rebels would not come after him.
In short, the palace trusted him very much and thought that he was just a poor man who stayed in his own house all day and never went out. They never associated him with the rebels who were making trouble outside, and they never expected that the leader of the rebels was right under their noses.
"Girl, do you think it's right for me to avenge my mother?" Nie Xiyuan asked.
Yaoguang nodded. "Revenge is fine, but your hatred involves others. Just like you think your mother is innocent, many other people are innocent, and they don't have to be responsible for your mother's death."
Nie Xiyuan, however, seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed happily: "Miss, you are wrong, I did not kill them. It was their own greed that killed them. I have never killed anyone, they are seeking their own death."
"But you used your ability, didn't you?" Yaoguang reminded.
Nie Xiyuan restrained his smile, his face warm, "Since it is the destiny bestowed by heaven, then it is their fate."
Yaoguang was very serious and corrected him, "It's not a gift from heaven. This thing can be recycled. You think you can control the fate of others, but in fact, you are the one being controlled..."
"When I'm free, I'll help you recycle it."
Hearing this, Nie Xiyuan finally lost his composure. He suddenly fell off the wheelchair and crawled towards Yaoguang step by step with great effort. "Girl, please don't do this to me. It's not easy for me to live like a human being and breathe freely. You are trying to kill me by treating me like this? Since you pity those ordinary people, why don't you pity me? It's obvious that you and I are of the same kind."
Yaoguang took a few steps back in disgust at Nie Xiyuan who kept crawling towards her, and used her special powers to stop him from moving forward.
"You don't have to crawl in front of me. In fact, you know that after you have this ability, your body will become stronger, right?"
The superpowers not only strengthen their abilities, but also their bodies.
Without a solid body as a foundation, it is difficult for people to master this energy. Nie Xiyuan is not very convenient because he is missing a leg, but his body is actually many times stronger than that of ordinary people.
After being seen through by Yaoguang, Nie Xiyuan simply stopped pretending and sat up on the ground, straightening his upper body.
"The girl is really amazing, but I'm a little curious. Where did her ability come from? Did it come from the magic stone?" Nie Xiyuan asked curiously.
"No."
Yaoguang didn't plan to talk to Nie Xiyuan any more. She just looked at Lu Chunqiu beside her and said, "I want to take this person away. Can I exchange my prosthesis with you?"
"It's all up to you, young lady." Nie Xiyuan was very self-aware and knew that rejecting Yaoguang would only do him harm, not good.
Yaoguang glanced at the night sky which was gradually turning blue. "It's getting late. Daybreak is coming. I'll come find you after daybreak..."
"I am waiting for you at any time, young lady."
So, Yaoguang directly carried the hypnotized Lu Chunqiu and jumped out of the yard quickly.
Nie Xiyuan sat there, looking at the direction Yaoguang left, blowing the cold wind for a long time. He didn't sit back in his wheelchair until the servants in the mansion found him.
Yaoguang carried the person and went directly to Ding Mao's yard. She tied the person up and even stuffed something in his mouth, then threw him into Ding Mao's yard like a baggage.
Ding Mao was startled by the noise in the yard. In the dim morning light, he found that it was Yaoguang standing behind the wall, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Girl, it's still dark, what are you doing?"
Throwing a big bag on him? This girl still misses him? Ding Mao was very happy.
"Help me keep an eye on this person. I'll come and deal with him later. Thank you for your help."
The reason why she chose Ding Mao was that Yaoguang felt that his previous job was very suitable for this task. Another reason was that she couldn't find any suitable people.
"Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely take good care of her for you." As soon as Ding Mao finished speaking, Yaoguang disappeared from the top of the wall.
Ding Mao looked at the big bundle on the ground and dragged it into the house with great effort, relying on the dim light outside and the candlelight inside.
Ding Mao looked at the bundle for a long time, then opened it and saw an old man who was tied up tightly, with his mouth gagged and a look of horror on his face.
Why is he such an ugly old man?
Yaoguang was busy outside all night. After returning to the Qiao family, she happened to meet Sun who had gotten up early. She greeted Sun and said that she had something to go out for today. Sun didn't ask much.
He only took Yaoguang out for breakfast before sending her out of the house.
It was still the same road, still the same house, the only difference was that this time Yaoguang knocked on the door to come in.
The old servant guarding the gate had been instructed by his master long ago. He went into the inner courtyard to greet Yaoguang, and after serving tea, he slowly retreated.
"Miss, here you are again. I didn't expect to meet you so soon." Nie Xiyuan was still as friendly as he was at night. The sunlight was brighter during the day, illuminating his delicate face more closely.
"Now you should tell me where the stone is." Yaoguang sat opposite Nie Xiyuan and spoke calmly.
"The girl asked me for the magic stone right away. The magic stone is too valuable. If I give it to the girl directly..." Nie Xiyuan said hesitantly with a bright smile.
Yaoguang interrupted him directly and told him clearly that he had two choices.
One is that after he was deprived of his abilities, he became an ordinary person and was hypnotized by her to speak out.
The second option is to be directly controlled by her mind and become a fool. The reason why the second option is not recommended is that people with mental power can easily become fools after being invaded by more powerful abilities.
"Which one do you choose?"
The second question is not unsolvable, but at least for now, Yaoguang only wants to give him a choice, not an answer.
Nie Xiyuan was completely unable to laugh.
"The sacred stone is not with me. I don't know where it has gone."
