Chapter 620: Is this immoral?
Li Xuan came to the Internal Affairs Department and found it quiet. He could hear the conversation between Manager Shang and Sharon in the room from a distance.

It seemed to be just as Zhao Feng said, and Sharon calmed down.

Originally, he was worried that Sharon would make a big fuss after waking up. Although he had lost all his strength and his life was as weak as a candle in the wind, it would still be a troublesome thing if this crazy woman made a fuss.

Li Xuan stood on Zhao Feng's shoulder and followed him into the room.

In the room, Manager Shang was talking to Sharon who was sitting on the bed, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Li Xuan could never have imagined that the two of them could actually have a conversation with each other.

When the two saw Li Xuan being brought by Zhao Feng, they stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

Li Xuan looked at Sharon with unfamiliar eyes.

After the battle with the Western Fire Demon, Sharon became even more haggard.

Her white hair was still disheveled, her clothes were dirty, the wrinkles on her face were more numerous and deeper, and her pale skin looked sickly.

Li Xuan could feel that she had little vitality left.

Judging from her appearance, the impression Sharon left on Li Xuan was even worse than when he first met her.

But at this moment, Sharon's pair of light yellow pupils were staring at Li Xuan brightly.

There was no longer any confusion, resentment or madness in her eyes; instead there was an unprecedented clarity.

No matter how bad Sharon's image was at the moment, her eyes alone added infinite charm to her.

Sharon's eyes were more lively than Aimu's, as if the saints of the Holy Fire Cult could speak with their eyes.

Just by looking at Sharon's eyes, Li Xuan could be sure that when she was young, she must have been a beauty who was no less beautiful than Aimu.

"You are the one who saved me?"

Sharon asked Li Xuan in a hoarse voice.

Although her voice was still unpleasant, her tone became gentler than ever before.

Of course, it could also be because she is too weak now.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, then jumped off Zhao Feng's shoulder and landed on the edge of the bed.

"You want to see me, meow?"

Li Xuan asked directly without any hesitation.

"You...you, you can speak?"

Sharon asked in shock and excitement.

Li Xuan nodded, patiently giving Sharon time to digest the shock.

Li Xuan didn't want to be too harsh on the dying person.

And speaking of which, Sharon is also a pitiful person.

When she was young, she met a scumbag named Ignis, who cheated her of her money, sex, and martial arts skills. As a result, she, a promising Holy Fire Cult Saint, became crazy and wasted decades of her best years. Now she is even dying.

If Li Xuan hadn't been there, Sharon would probably have died with Ignis.

But Li Xuan felt that Ignis did not deserve someone to die for him, not even the crazy Sharon at the time.

"Thank you, Sharon, for saving my life."

Sharon stroked her chest with one hand with great effort and bowed slightly towards Li Xuan.

Li Xuan had seen the etiquette of the Holy Fire Cult many times on Aimu, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

"My name is Li Xuan, you can also call me Xuan."

"I heard some things about you from the Holy Fire Cult."

Sharon immediately said respectfully: "Master Xuan."

Meanwhile, Manager Shang and Zhao Feng on the side silently exchanged excited glances.

They were pleased that Li Xuan gave them the surname "Li".

Although Li Xuan may have given himself the surname Li only because of Princess Ankang, it was also a kind of belonging to the Daxing royal family.

After all, if Li Xuan had always just called himself Ah Xuan, it would still give the two stewards some ideas.

After all, the treatment in Jingyang Palace was not very good before. Although there were many reasons for this, the grievances that the three little ones had suffered before could not be faked.

The two managers have seen many ups and downs and know that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing timely help.

But once the opportunity is missed, it is missed and cannot be made up for.

Later, Emperor Yongyuan and the two general managers took good care of Jingyang Palace in order to make Li Xuan feel more belonging to Daxing.

The reason why Zhao Feng was so excited when he judged that Li Xuan was a sign of good fortune sent from heaven was because the theory of fate was the most mysterious.

And the facts have proved that since they became friends with Li Xuan, good things have happened one after another, reversing the previous downward trend.

This year can be said to be the smoothest year for them.

In this regard, Emperor Yongyuan and the two general managers could not help but feel grateful for the wisdom of their ancestors.

After all, it is not the first time that auspicious signs from heaven have fallen in Daxing.

When the Twin Saints Emperors pacified the troubled times, "they had the help of the power of the Red Dragon." This statement was not made up casually, but was clearly recorded in the History of Daxing.

More specific content is also recorded in royal historical materials.

However, in the nearly one thousand years of dynasty history that followed, although many auspicious signs from heaven were presented to successive emperors during their reigns, only a few of them were verified to be true auspicious signs.

Li Xuan has already proved Xiangrui's identity with his own strength.

If Daxing is unable to win back Xiangrui's heart, it will become a joke in history books.

After all, other dynasties had also seen "heretic evil beasts" that brought huge losses to Daxing.

Now that Li Xuan gave himself the surname Li, the two old men were very happy.

If they knew that Li Xuan's last name was Li in his previous life, the two stewards would probably expose Li Xuan and shout at the top of their lungs:

"It is destiny, it is destiny!"

"Ah Xuan was a member of the Daxing royal family, the Li family, in his previous life!!!"

Li Xuan was busy observing Sharon's condition and didn't pay attention to the exchange of glances between the two stewards behind him.

Sharon looked at Li Xuan carefully, as if she saw the most wonderful miracle in the world.

Li Xuan has already gotten used to people looking at him this way, so he doesn't care too much.

Sharon must have something to say to me. She is much more sober now and it is possible for her to communicate.

As the former saint, Sharon has lost all her strength and her life is counting down, but she should know a lot of secrets of the Holy Fire Cult.

This makes Sharon valuable in terms of intelligence.

Now that the Holy Fire Cult obviously does not want to take back Sharon, this hot potato, Li Xuan will naturally seek some value from Sharon. He can't just save her in vain.

Li Xuan and Sharon stared at each other for a long time. Sharon then realized that she had been staring at him for a long time. She smiled gently at Li Xuan and asked:
"Master Xuan, are you the one who terminates my sacrifice to the Holy Fire?"

Li Xuan nodded silently.

If he had not communicated with Aimu and Xie Qingmo before, he would still not know what the sacrifice Sharon was talking about.

Sharon opened her mouth, seemingly unsure of what to say.

Li Xuan knew that for the followers of the Holy Fire Cult, what he did was subverting their cognition.

But Sharon was only stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and accepted the fact.

"Is that so..." The atmosphere in the room fell silent, making people feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Li Xuan was a cat.

"How do you feel meow?"

Li Xuan asked directly.

In fact, Li Xuan wanted to ask her if she would hate them because of Ignis.

If that's the case, then there's no possibility for them to cooperate.

Li Xuan also didn't want to keep a time bomb next to him.

Even if Sharon has lost her power now, there is no guarantee that she does not have other means.

Rather than taking such a risk, Li Xuan might as well send her back to the Holy Fire Sect directly. Saving people would be considered a good deed.

"I……"

Sharon raised her head slightly and looked at the bed curtain above her head, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I seemed to have had a very long dream, but fortunately the dream had a happy ending."

Sharon thought for a long time, said this, and then looked at Butler Shang.

"I would like to thank you for your help in this matter."

Sharon's thanks were sincere and didn't seem like a lie.

"Ignis is dead, meow."

"You hate us meow?"

Li Xuan continued to ask bluntly.

Sharon shook her head slightly and gave a bitter smile.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter anymore."

"It's not worth it, not for him."

"It's a pity that I didn't figure this out until the last minute."

"Ugh--"

Sharon sighed deeply, as if she felt unworthy of herself.

Li Xuan didn't know whether she felt it was not worth it for her to meet Ignis or for her whole life.

"So what are your plans next, meow?"

Sharon continued to shake her head: "Master Xuan, you helped me stop the sacrifice and you should know that I don't have much time left."

"I no longer want to go back to the Holy Fire Cult. Can you allow me to make a bold request so that I can spend my last days here in peace?"

Sharon finished her story calmly and looked at Li Xuan and the two stewards nervously.

Li Xuan also looked at Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng. After all, they had the final say on the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The two stewards looked at each other and nodded slightly to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan then said to Sharon: "Okay meow."

"Thank you, thank you." Sharon said gratefully.

Then, Li Xuan continued talking to Sharon.

After Sharon regained consciousness, she turned out to be an extremely gentle person.

Under Li Xuan's questioning, she also told what happened between her and Ignis.

Ignis became famous at a young age and was dubbed the genius of the Western Regions. He began to step out of his hometown and challenge the masters of hundreds of countries in the Western Regions.

At first, Ignis's challenge went smoothly until he met Sharon.

Although Ignis was a genius, he was born in a small country after all, and his vision was not very high. When he met Sharon, who had become a saint at that time, he was completely unable to resist and ended up in a miserable defeat.

Sharon admired Ignis's talent and accepted him as a disciple of the Holy Fire Cult. In addition, Ignis had a good appearance and could say sweet words, so he soon won Sharon's admiration.

Sharon was in her early twenties, the same age as Ignis.

But unlike Ignis who traveled to hundreds of countries in the Western Regions, Sharon has been staying in the Holy Fire Sect, practicing various high-level martial arts, but she is somewhat naive and as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Unfortunately, Sharon's sincerity was not rewarded with the same sincerity, but a betrayal that left her with an unforgettable memory.

At that time, Sharon had just become a saint. She was established as a saint at a young age. One reason was that she came from an orthodox conservative family, and the other was that she already had the qualifications to practice the Holy Fire Sect's magical skills.

At that time, the Holy Fire Cult had not yet been so divided, and the conservatives almost represented the entire will of the Holy Fire Cult.

When Sharon began to practice the Holy Fire Cult's magic, Ignis also began to covet this special skill.

In fact, given Ignis' status in the Holy Fire Cult at the time, as long as he practiced with peace of mind, it would be natural for him to become a top-three master in the future, or even serve as an elder or guardian in the church. After all, Sharon, the saint, truly loved him.

Many people in the Holy Fire Cult also regarded them as a loving couple of gods, but unfortunately Ignis's ambition went far beyond that.

Ignis took advantage of his close relationship with Sharon to peek at the secret manual of divine power many times. If he could steal it, he would have probably stolen it.

But even so, Ignis relied on his secret efforts to memorize half of the magic secret book, and then practiced in secret. By the time the Holy Fire Cult found out, he had already made some progress. He even rebelled against the Holy Fire Cult and committed several major crimes in the Western Regions, causing a bloody storm for his practice of magic.

Li Xuan and the two stewards listened to Sharon calmly recounting these past events.

Sharon wasn't too sad, but she couldn't help but sigh occasionally.

It seems that just as she said, she has let go of the past.

Li Xuan listened to Sharon and Ignis's past and calculated that they were both less than sixty years old this year.

It’s just that these two people look older than each other, and they look like centenarians.

Li Xuan shook his head secretly, but he was very interested in the magical skills of the Holy Fire Sect that Sharon mentioned.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the Yin-Yang technique of the Holy Fire Sect.

Li Xuan secretly looked at the two stewards' expressions and saw that they also looked quite interested.

After all, they had previously found a book that seemed to contain some martial arts techniques from Ignis's belongings, but they couldn't understand the words on it, so they had handed it over to the Lijing Sect, which specialized in deciphering codes.

"Ignis really mastered the Holy Fire Cult's magical skills, meow?"

Li Xuan asked curiously.

If this is true, Ignis could reach such a level with only half of the magic skills, and he really deserves the title of genius.

Hearing Li Xuan's question, Sharon couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head, and replied:
"If that idiot had asked me directly, I would have told him that the Holy Fire Cult's magical skills cannot be practiced by men."

Hearing this, Li Xuan's eyes widened, and the two stewards who were drinking tea next to him almost choked and coughed twice.

"Men can't practice the Holy Fire Cult's magical skills, meow?"

Li Xuan confirmed again in disbelief.

Sharon nodded: "This is also the reason why the Holy Fire Cult has only had a Holy Daughter but no Holy Leader or Holy Son."

After getting the confirmation, Li Xuan looked down at his two little bells blankly and fell into deep thought.

"Who was the former Chosen One of the Holy Fire Cult?"

"How can you be so immoral as to create a yin-yang technique that can only be practiced by women!"

Thinking that he was destined to have no chance of learning a Yin-Yang technique, Li Xuan gritted his teeth in anger.
