Chapter 109 Half of My Fortune as Reward
Chu Lingyun nodded slightly, a relieved smile on her face.
I know my junior sister's temperament better than anyone. If I hadn't pleaded for Miss Shen, she probably wouldn't have given me any face, not even if the Grandmaster himself came.
Looking at the arrogant Yin Liuli, Chu Lingyun suddenly recalled the image of her being led by her master into the mountain gate years ago.
She was only three years old then, a little dumpling that everyone loved.
She wore a magnificent dress, her hair was styled in two pretty buns, and she wore a golden necklace with a large gold lock hanging from it. She exuded an aura of untouchable wealth and nobility.
That dirty little face was indescribably lively and adorable, with oversized eyes brimming with tears, its clear pupils seemingly containing a sky full of stars.
The moment she saw him, Yin Liuli timidly hid behind her master, hugged his leg, and burst into tears.
"Mommy! I want Mommy! Waaah..."
At that time, Chu Lingyun was only seven years old.
He quickly dropped the broom, awkwardly and discreetly tugged at his worn Taoist robe, and grinned at Yin Liuli.
"Little sister, don't cry. My name is Chu Lingyun, and I'll be your senior brother from now on! What's your name?"
"My name is Ruri... Waaaaah..."
Yin Liuli peeked out from behind her master, looking at him timidly with eyes full of starlight. "I...I want to find my mother! Senior Brother, please take me to find my mother, okay?"
Chu Lingyun spoke to her in the gentlest voice he had ever used.
"Don't cry, Liuli. Are you hungry? Your senior brother will take you to eat something delicious..."
Yin Liuli blinked, cautiously reaching out her small hand to him, and asked through sobs,
"After eating something delicious, will you go find your mother?"
The moment Chu Lingyun held that little hand, she felt her heart melt.
As the eldest brother, he has been like a father to her for the past twelve years. He has not only been her older brother, showering her with boundless love and care, but also raised and taught her like a father.
I thought I could stay by her side for the rest of my life, but half a year ago, lightning and fire burned down the Heavenly Gate. My master saw the secret of heaven and the Glazed Heavenly Tribulation was about to strike.
She can only find someone whose fate is afflicted by the Seven Killings, marry him, and borrow his destiny to overcome her difficulties.
Chu Lingyun was unwilling to accept this.
Why hand over the person he's been with for twelve years to someone else?
Even without the Seven Fiends Fate, he would find another way to shield Yin Liuli from this heavenly tribulation!
He left a note for his master and went on a journey, which lasted for more than half a year.
I never expected to see that face I've been longing for in my dreams here...
"Miss Liuli, you...you've agreed?"
The prime minister's trembling voice interrupted Chu Lingyun's thoughts, "This old man thanks Miss Liuli for her great kindness!"
Yin Liuli gave him a cold look.
"Why thank me? Thank my senior brother. If he hadn't pleaded for you, do you think I would have paid any attention to you?"
"Your Excellency, do you understand now? If my senior brother were truly the one who harmed your granddaughter, what use would I be to save her!"
A complex expression appeared on the prime minister's face. He quickly bowed his head and kowtowed heavily to the ground.
"I misunderstood before, please forgive me, Daoist Master! Please accept my bow!"
Chu Lingyun raised his hand with difficulty, his face expressionless.
Yin Liuli snorted, bent down and plucked a few more strands of hair from Shen Qingtang's head, tucking them between her fingers.
The room instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Yin Liuli extended her slender fingers and drew a "Five Directions Emperors Soul-Summoning Talisman" in the air, activating the talisman with her faith.
"The Green Emperor summons the soul, the White Emperor summons the soul, the Red Emperor gathers the spirit, and the Black Emperor collects the spirit."
The Yellow Emperor, the supreme ruler, surpassed all other gods; his soul and spirit were united, returning to the true lineage!
"By the decree of Laozi, the spirit of Shen Qingtang, come swiftly and obey my command without delay... So be it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul-summoning talisman transformed into a dazzling white light and shot into Shen Qingtang's brow.
At the same time, the few strands of hair in Yin Liuli's hand suddenly burst into flames.
Suddenly, several whirlwinds rose from the ground and swirled around everyone's feet.
Many people at Dali Temple were seeing Yin Liuli perform a ritual for the first time. They only saw Yin Liuli making a few empty gestures in the air while chanting incantations.
Suddenly a whirlwind appeared, and as if it had a spirit, it gathered towards Shen Qingtang.
Everyone's faces showed surprise and astonishment.
In Yin Liuli's eyes, these whirlwinds were the three souls and seven spirits that had escaped from Shen Qingtang's body.
She was brought back by the talisman and was being sent back into her body.
"Well……"
The moment the whirlwind disappeared, Shen Qingtang, with her eyes tightly closed, suddenly let out a weak groan.
A deathly silence fell over the air.
"Tang'er!"
Upon hearing his granddaughter's voice, the prime minister cried out in surprise, his tear-streaked face filled with shock and delight.
He scrambled towards Shen Qingtang, his face full of heartache, calling out anxiously.
"Tang'er, you...you're alive? Tang'er, my Tang'er! Wake up...open your eyes and look at your grandfather!"
Shen Qingtang slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness still hazy, her lifeless eyes staring blankly at him.
"Grandfather? Where...where am I...?"
"You were kidnapped, and they wanted to kill you! But you're safe now, Tang'er, you've finally survived!"
The prime minister held her tightly, his voice trembling so much he could barely speak.
"Grandpa is taking Tang'er home, let's go home!"
Shen Qingtang nestled in his arms and began to sob.
"Grandfather, Tang'er is so scared..."
The prime minister's eyes reddened with heartache. "Tang'er, don't be afraid. With your grandfather here, I will never let anyone hurt you again!"
Zhou Qinggong followed and examined the area, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Miss Tang'er, you're finally awake!"
"Your Excellency, are you relieved now?"
Yin Liuli gave a cold snort, "Can my senior brother and I leave now?"
The prime minister trembled, hurriedly handed Shen Qingtang to Zhou Qinggong, and then knelt down again.
"I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have wronged the female assistant and this Taoist priest. Please accept my bow, my two benefactors."
Chu Lingyun raised his hand slightly.
Yin Liuli ignored her completely.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister realized your mistake so quickly?"
A hint of disdain flashed across Gu Jinyan's cold, stern face, a blatant mockery.
"You were just threatening to kill my future crown princess, and now that you've saved her life, you're not going to let this go with a few words, are you?"
He couldn't stand seeing Yin Liuli being mistreated!
As a prince, the eldest son of the princess, how could he let his own princess consort be targeted and threatened with death?
The prime minister hurriedly said,
"No, no, Your Highness, I am deeply grateful to Miss Liuli and this Taoist priest, and this is not just empty talk."
"One day I will definitely bring Tang'er to pay a visit and repay your two benefactors with half of my fortune!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Yin Liuli.
The prime minister was willing to give half of his fortune as a reward. He might not be richer than a country, but he could at least let this girl squander it for several lifetimes!
