Chapter 298: Born to be a demon

Following the other party's narration, Li heard his master...or mother's past

for the first time.

She was once a green sword with the most potential in the Privy Council. If

there is no accident, she would be promoted to Yuyi within two or three years.

Until the Wanjinglou incident happened, everything came to an abrupt end.

The emperor set up a bureau in the building and decided to remove the

alchemist who did not belong to his faction and had a vaguely independent

momentum. In order to improve his chances of winning, he also used threats and

inducements to bind a group of neutral alchemists to his ship, including

Qingjian Li Mengyun.

It is difficult to control alchemists above Rank 3 by ordinary means, because

they are strong enough, but Li Mengyun gave birth to a child at that time.

This weakness forced her to stand on the opposite side of the Privy Council.

Then came the bloodiest battle in the Privy Council. The high-ranking

alchemists on both sides suffered heavy losses, and it can be said that Yan

Qing, Yu Linglong and others emerged from this battle and took over the seats

vacated by the predecessors.

The final result ended in the failure of the emperor.

Just because he overlooked two points.

One is that the Seven-Star Project has been launched, and there are far more

alchemists who don't want to stand on the side of the royal family than he

imagined. Moreover, this group of insiders is not low-grade, has a strong

belief, and the will to fight is much stronger than those coerced.

The second is that he has to face not only the Privy Council of Qiguo, but

also the alchemists of other countries who are hidden in Shangyuan, waiting

quietly for opportunities.

So far after World War I, the emperor not only failed to achieve his goal, but

instead lost the power of the aura who was loyal to him, and suffered a

serious illness in anxious, and no longer his original arrogance.

The Privy Council of Gyeonggi was also greatly injured by this battle, which

led to a sharp decline in its control over the local Privy Council.

"You want to say... my master also died in this incident?" Li said with a

solemn face.

"She is one of the few royalists who survived-despite being seriously injured,

she did not die on the spot."

"You just said she was coerced!"

"But she did kill several alchemists, what can I do, and ask others to let her

go!" Yan Qing's voice was also a little excited.

"What happened after Li Mengyun?" Only Xia Fan remained calm.

"Actually... the Privy Council is also very hesitant. Because these alchemists

have good abilities, and at the same time they are not really loyal to the

emperor. It is just a fact that their help is a cruel abuse. If you let it go,

it may chill the alchemists who support the Seven Stars. Yan Qing pursed her

lips, "The final result is to take them to Xuzhou and be judged by Yuheng, the

head of the seven stars. It's a pity..."

"What a pity?"

"None of them were able to reach Xuzhou. The ** convoy was attacked by evil

soon after entering the territory of Gaoguo. According to reports, no one

survived."

"Evil?" Xia Fan frowned sensitively, "Isn't this thing only rampant in the

first ten years of the founding of the country? You said that when the Wanjing

Tower Incident happened, every country was already stable."

"You're not wrong, but it's not right." Yan Qing said a little annoyed. "Even

now, some remote areas and battlefields in Qiguo will still be entrenched. Of

course, we have also doubted that things will go wrong. It would be such a

coincidence that people were sent to explore in Gaoguo and indeed found the

remains of the convoy. However, it was more than two months apart at this

time. Apart from the traces of evil being found on the scene, there were not

many other effective clues."

She exhaled slightly, "Now that so many years have passed, the Seven Stars is

no longer what it used to be. Even if she comes back, she will probably not be

punished too much... But the problem is that Li Mengyun has never reappeared.

This can only show that , She really does not exist anymore."

"I-- don't believe it." Li couldn't accept it.

"Don't you believe it, can it be easy for me to believe it? A child who should

have died a long time ago can still appear in front of me now!" Yan Qing

remained silent for a moment, and then his tone softened a bit, as if he

wanted to try Soothing Li, "but blood will not lie, you have Li Mengyun's

blood in your body, so you should also accept reality."

"I don't understand," Xia Fan interrupted, "Why do you think her child is

dead?"

"This is a matter of course. The emperor has always acted fiercely, and will

never give the underlings a chance to turn around. In addition to the failure

of his actions, whether it is to anger or weaken the Privy Council, he cannot

put the child back into our hands. Then the only option is to get rid of it."

Qing Jian's tone was obviously less patient with Xia Fan's question. "In fact,

we have also secretly searched for places where Tibetans can be hidden inside

and outside the palace, but found nothing. After all, this It was all caused

by Li Mengyun's stubbornness and stupidity."

"The green sword with the most potential...stupid?"

"Isn't it? She obviously has several ways to prevent this from happening. She

can obviously turn to the Privy Council. She can obviously-trust me more!"

Speaking of the back, Yan Qing couldn't help clenching his fists. If the child

is controlled by the emperor, is the dignified Qingjian going to be

slaughtered? As long as she tells it, the Privy Council can secretly plan a

rescue, and they can also perform one another during the incident, but she

didn't say anything until the end! What is this not stupid?"

"No... you don't know her at all." Li shook his head.

"I have fought side by side with her for so many years, what I don't

understand. She would rather give me this hairpin before being escorted, and

would not ask me to intercede for her. It's simply \- stupid!" Yan Qing paused!

Pause, "Of course, I was just as stupid as I didn't see her abnormality."

Then she looked at the fox demon, "Although I don’t know how you escaped, but

you not only survived, but you also became an emotional person. This may be

another fate. Be my apprentice, I Normally I never accept disciples, but you

are an exception-I will teach you everything I know, including the spells your

mother has mastered."

"I refuse." Li said without hesitation.

"Why?" Yan Qing was greatly surprised, Qing Jian took the initiative to accept

disciples, other alchemists couldn't ask for it, and there were people who

wouldn't agree.

"The Privy Council is not my destination. I have found a place where I want to

stay~www.mtlnovel.com~ Don't be kidding. As an alchemist, is there a more

suitable place than the Privy Council?" Yan Qing said eagerly, "Could it be

you Worrying that Li Mengyun was an enemy of the Privy Council? Don’t worry,

we don’t have the habit of sin and future generations. I promise you will not

be treated unfairly. If anyone dares to insult you, I will make him regret it

for life.” At this point, she still did. Specially glanced at Xia Fan.

"What if it is the Privy Council itself that insulted me?" Li said unmoved.

"What... mean?"

She raised her hand and pinched the outer edge of her cloth cap.

Xia Fan was startled, and just about to dissuade him, he saw the other party

cast a look that didn't need to worry.

Then she tugged slightly.

When the cloth cap fell, Li's soft and beautiful black hair suddenly fell

down, and at the same time, those long hairy ears were slowly erected,

exposing them in front of them.

Yan Qing couldn't help but his eyes widened.

The orphan of a deceased friend turned out to be a demon?
