One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

Luo Shuxiang's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile, as if she didn't want to hide anything. At this moment, she seemed more authentic than before.

"I believe that the Lord is eager to see your leaders. After all, if it weren't for the interference of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, the Lord's plan would have succeeded instead of being forced to stop as it is now."

The Dong family is already under your control, and I imagine the An family is in the same situation. I can no longer sense the presence of the other water-suppressing beasts. Why don't you tell me, Director Huang, what have the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau been doing behind the scenes?
Even if someone is to be sentenced to death, at least let them die knowing why!

These words, spoken by Luo Shuxiang, carried a hint of amusement, yet she spoke with utmost seriousness, as if she were genuinely discussing the matter with Huang Miao.

"I only asked you one question, and you just dumped the blame on me and tried to extract more information from me. I have to say, your mentality is truly remarkable."

"Why don't you tell me first how you sensed the presence of the other water-suppressing divine beasts? Then I might consider fulfilling your last wish before your soul dissipates and telling you everything you want to know. How about it? Isn't this a good deal?" Huang Miao chuckled.

Sure enough, from the very beginning, the memories that Luo Shuxiang regained were nothing to her.

The water had been settling in this river for hundreds of years. Even if Luo Shuxiang had truly forgotten her identity, she could still sense the presence of the water-suppressing beast. While the water-suppressing beast guarded this place, she gradually polluted it with the resentment she had accumulated.

Does she really have no doubts about her identity?

Based on this alone, Huang Miao didn't believe it!
Even though there were three people present, Wang Ye felt that his brain might not be working properly, otherwise how could he not understand the conversation between Luo Shuxiang and Huang Miao?

They seemed to be arguing, or perhaps probing each other, each trying to glean clues from the other.

However, this standoff was like a war without gunfire unfolding in this space. And he, caught in the middle, was like a useless person, unable to help at all.

Wang Ye could hear every word Huang Miao and Luo Shuxiang said clearly, but he didn't quite understand the meaning when they were put together.

"Didn't Director Huang already repair that array plate himself? Can't he understand our lord's intentions?"
As for the water-suppressing beasts, those are corrupted. The only person who can control them is our master!

Since things had come to this point, Luo Shuxiang suddenly sneered.

They're all ancient foxes, why bother pretending here!
"Indeed, you are right. The only one who can control the corrupted water-suppressing beast is your master. But all of this is predicated on the water-suppressing beast being completely corrupted."

The water-suppressing mythical beast is still unpolluted, isn't it?

The fact that you can't sense the presence of the water-suppressing beast proves this point, doesn't it?

Luo Shuxiang, I'm not going to resort to violence against you yet. Let me give you a piece of advice: the only end for the living dead is for their souls to be scattered. No matter how much you sacrifice for your Lord, you can't change that.

"I am not like that cowardly rat hiding in the shadows. I can promise you, if you confess and show leniency, I can let you go to the underworld to be reincarnated."

Having abandoned your identity as a member of the Luo family and wallowed in the river for so many years, what is it that you truly seek? You should think carefully about this.

Sometimes, fate's gifts slip right through your fingers; whether you can seize them depends on your wisdom!

This promise is a one-time thing; once missed, it will truly be gone forever.

This place is for you to ponder. The true water-suppressing beast has been moved to another safe place. Whether you continue your futile efforts or abandon darkness for light and choose a path of destiny you can control, it's all up to you!

Huang Miao naturally saw the confusion and bewilderment on Wang Ye's face, but he had no intention of explaining to Wang Ye at the moment, and simply continued to deal with Luo Shuxiang.

In reality, Luo Shuxiang remained silent most of the time.

Especially when Huang Miao mentioned that he could send her to be reincarnated, Luo Shuxiang's heart, which had long since stopped beating, suddenly skipped a beat.

Although it was extremely faint, she could hear it clearly.

After saying this, Huang Miao didn't look at Luo Shuxiang's reaction and turned to leave with Wang Ye.

The stone gate opened silently as Huang Miao approached. Unlike the complicated process of his arrival, this time it seemed that the stone gate would automatically react simply by Huang Miao standing there.

It wasn't until he followed Huang Miao away from the place where the water-suppressing divine beast was placed that Wang Ye came back to his senses in a daze.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at the stone door that had been closed again. Everything that had happened before was still vivid in his mind, yet it seemed like just an illusionary dream.

Wang Ye pinched his thigh hard, showing no mercy to himself, twisting the flesh and spinning it around.

The intense pain instantly brought Wang Ye back to his senses. He jogged a few steps and caught up with Huang Miao.

"Director Huang, I just have one question: Is the water spirit beast that was kept there in Luo Family Town really gone?"

Wang Ye thought about Luo Shuxiang seriously and could only say that he was ultimately too inexperienced, which was why he was deceived by the Luo family head and Luo Shuxiang after they had possessed his body, and believed everything they said.

He never imagined that the Luo family had begun to rot completely from within.

No wonder the water-suppressing beast guarded by the Luo family was corrupted so quickly. With the Luo family head causing trouble, the water-suppressing beast of the Luo family is simply unbearable to look at compared to the other three extraordinary families.

"Simply put, Luo Shuxiang's love turned to hatred, yet she still harbored deep affection for the Extraordinary Clan. Due to her mental state, Luo Shuxiang cannot be said to be controlled, but rather to passively vent her emotions."

Once the dark side within her is fully unleashed, there will be no turning back.

The destruction of the Luo family was the ending she most wanted to see.

The story truly begins when she cooperates with your performance and pretends to regain her memory.

It is precisely because you have unwavering trust in Luo Shuxiang that she is completely unguarded around you, which makes my actions easier.

The water-suppressing divine beast cannot be moved easily, so of course I won't act rashly before it is completely purified.

I set up a barrier on the bronze cauldron. The water-suppressing beast that everyone sees is just a projection, and no one can really get close.

Shen Tongyu and Hu Jiu'er are already on their way. Because of her unwavering belief in reincarnation, I believe Luo Shuxiang will make the right choice!

While Wang Ye and Wu Xie stayed at the Luo family, Shen Tongyu and Hu Jiu'er had already dealt with the An family's affairs and firmly grasped control of the An family.

Even the area around the water-suppressing divine beast was guarded by the Shen family, with a tight security.

The An family always has to pay a price for what they want. Compared to the An family's future wealth and glory, the An family head chose to compromise with Shen Tongyu. For every side that prospers, the other side suffers. Now, it seems the side suffering is Wang Ye's. Of course, Huang Miao also realized that the Luo family's place is the final battleground.

The mastermind behind this scheme, using the feng shui of the entire Xichuan region, is attempting to awaken a demon. This game has spanned a century and is truly painstaking.

"So, Director Huang, were Wu Xie and I used as bait from the very beginning?"

Wang Ye's mind raced, somewhat incredulous. But knowing that the person before him was Huang Miao, the Director of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, who wouldn't joke with him, he began to believe that it might be true.

Since Director Huang already knew all this in advance, doesn't that mean that Wu Xie and I were passively guided and used as bait to lure Luo Shuxiang and the others into a trap?

Don't say the Luo family is full of bad people; they've all borne the consequences of the Luo family's sins. If you share the good times, you should share the bad!

"Yes and no. I also need to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all the information you have gathered in order to uncover what is hidden deeper."

With Lily of the Valley around, you won't be in any danger. At most, you'll suffer a little to learn that there are always people more capable than you and things beyond your understanding.
Let's go check on Wu Xie and Linglan first. As for the Luo family head, he's already on his last legs, barely clinging to life.

Having acquired the body of the Luo family head and enjoyed his power, he also had to bear the future of the entire extraordinary family. Even though the core within him had changed, the Heavenly Dao did not recognize him.

"It seems that Patriarch Luo's last days will definitely not exceed ten days. As a member of the Luo family, you must understand what you should do and what you cannot do in these crucial final moments!"

Luo Qing stayed by the head of the Luo family's side the whole time.

Ever since the patriarch suddenly fell into a coma, Luo Qing has been feeling uneasy and anxious.

Putting everything else aside, in the Luo family's side room, Luo Hong was still unconscious and had been diagnosed with a venomous insect, and was in a critical moment of being possessed!

Linglan and Wu Xie entered the room, claiming they were going to examine the Luo family head to prevent any accidents. But before they could even begin, the Luo family head fell into a coma.

Luo Qing's suspicion that Wu Xie and the others had tampered with the Luo family head was not unfounded; the matter was simply too strange to explain!
He was really having a headache. Every word Wu Xie and Linglan said sounded like noisy ducks quacking in his ear. He couldn't listen to them at all and just wanted them to shut up.

Luo Qing realized that his emotions seemed to be affected by some inexplicable force. He tried to control himself and calm down, but to no avail. Instead, it backfired.

Inside the room, the group was locked in a stalemate.

Although Luo Qing didn't say a word, he quietly protected the head of the Luo family behind him, preventing Linglan and Wu Xie from getting close.

Although Linglan is the new Holy Maiden of Miao Jiang, each Holy Maiden is worse than the last. At such a distance, she has no way of knowing whether the Luo family head has been infected by the insect gu. After all, she had not smelled the insect gu on the Luo family head before.

Based on previous speculation, this is clearly abnormal.

Linglan knew she couldn't argue with Luo Qing, so she sat quietly to the side and waited patiently.

She might not trust Wu Xie's abilities, but she believed that Huang Miao wouldn't ignore what was happening here.

Sure enough, Huang Miao appeared. Without saying a single unnecessary word, he directly explained the current situation to Luo Qing.

Upon hearing Huang Miao's voice, Luo Qing's body stiffened instantly. After a long while, he managed to control his emotions, turned around, and faced Huang Miao directly.

"Director Huang, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

The head of the family is only in a coma, how could he only have less than ten days left?
Moreover, the patriarch is an extraordinary person, the closest to the water-suppressing divine beast. Even if something happens to the other members of the Luo family, the patriarch will be safe for the time being!
This was indeed Luo Qing's true thought at that moment.

Perhaps it was because Luo Qing's gaze was too clear that Huang Miao was momentarily at a loss for words when faced with his question.

"Captain Luo, don't worry too much. The Luo family head you know now is not the real Luo family head. Long ago, the Luo family head was possessed. During his tenure as family head, the rate at which the water-suppressing divine beast was corrupted accelerated significantly. Even Luo Shuxiang's ability to accumulate resentment so quickly was partly due to him."

The true head of the Luo family might still retain a trace of his soul. And now that the water-suppressing divine beast has taken this form, you know how to purify it.

To be honest, since the Luo family head's physical body has been possessed, no one can say for sure whether the other party can maximize the effects of the Luo family's purification array and spells.

We cannot guarantee that!

The choice is now in your hands: to gamble the future of the Luo family and take a desperate gamble, or to sit here and wait for the Luo family to perish, leaving not a single ember.

Whatever choice you make, we will not interfere.

The fate of the Luo family is in your hands!

Wang Ye was the last to enter the room.

Seeing Luo Qing's bewildered and confused look, and even a hint of doubt in his eyes, Wang Ye stepped forward, pressed Luo Qing's shoulder, looked him straight in the eye, and said, word by word.

He didn't want to explain too much, but the facts were undeniable, and they didn't have much time left.

After saying these words that might have caused a huge uproar in Luo Qing's heart, Wang Ye let go of Luo Qing's hand, took two steps back, and distanced himself from Luo Qing.

"Captain Luo may find it hard to believe what we're saying now, but you have to understand that the safety of the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast cannot be compromised in the slightest. No one would joke about this!"

One side was their own head of household, and the other side was the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau, including Director Huang of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Luo Qing also had some understanding of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. On the surface, they were just a subordinate agency of the Xijiang region, but in reality, in the Xichuan region, they could mobilize the company's people to cooperate in their actions, and the company clearly obeyed the command of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau completely.

Furthermore, the Xichuan District also issued an order that anyone encountering the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau must fully cooperate without any questions, and everything must be under their control.

Such power is significant enough, even in the Xichuan region, let alone elsewhere.

Luo Qing understood that what the other party said was probably the truth. Reason also told him not to struggle anymore and to prioritize the water-suppressing divine beast. As long as the water-suppressing divine beast was purified, the Luo family's hope could be preserved.

But emotionally, Luo Qing still couldn't believe that the head of the family had already been possessed.

So what has the Luo family been doing all these years?

It was all wrong! Everything was wrong! (End of Chapter)
