Splendid Twins

Upon seeing this, Master Canliao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said:

"Miss, this is the best thing you can do. Now that the matter is settled, I will leave now."

Si Yao was slightly stunned. He was leaving now?

Lu Yuan took a step forward at the right time, speaking in a steady tone:

"Master, you have worked so hard. I will remember your kindness in my heart and will repay you generously one day."

Upon hearing this, Master Chan Liao's eyes flashed with a kind light, and he waved his sleeves lightly and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty's kindness, I am deeply grateful to you. This time, I helped you, it was just a matter of fate. Now that the matter has been settled, I will not bother you any more. Goodbye."

After saying this, his figure flashed, like a breeze passing by, and he instantly disappeared into the scenery of Zangfeng Garden, leaving only a faint sense of Zen lingering.

Si Yao's eyes involuntarily followed the receding figure, then turned to Lu Yuan, a hint of doubt between her brows:

"Don't you have anything to say to each other?"

Lu Yuan raised a meaningful smile and explained slowly:

"Gou Huan is a member of the Xiao royal family, and his identity is sensitive. In addition, he has evil magic. If you intervene directly, it may cause trouble. Therefore, I asked Master Can Liao to handle it on my behalf and settle this grudge. As for why the master is willing to lend a helping hand..."

He paused for a moment, his eyes flickering with memories of the past:

"This can be traced back to the deep connection between the Xiao family's ancestors and Buddhism. In the past, the Xiao family's ancestors helped Buddhism survive a disaster, and the two families formed an indissoluble bond because of this. Master Canliao, it is precisely because of this kindness that he is willing to help..."

Si Yao: "Then...when you got into trouble, why didn't he help?"

Lu Yuan looked into the distance and said in a cold voice:

"I encountered an unexpected event that year. The situation was so urgent that it was beyond human control. They had already laid a lot of fog before I fell into trouble, and the substitute plan was even more linked. It made it difficult for Ying Ren and others to distinguish the true from the false at the critical moment. By the time I was truly out of danger, I was already far away from Nanliang..."

When he said this, there was a barely perceptible chill in his tone, but he immediately regained his composure.

“As for Master Chan Liao, although he was compassionate, he also had to follow the law of cause and effect. At that time, he was far away in Fucang Mountain and was unable to detect my danger in time…

But fortunately, he finally gave the key clue at the critical moment, allowing Shadow Blade to pass through the fog and find Sijia Village. "

When Si Yao heard this, ripples appeared in her heart. Although she knew that everything Lu Yuan had experienced was far from as simple as it seemed, she had not expected it to be so dangerous.

She whispered, "Then Gou Huan...did he really show mercy?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the thrilling past:

"That day, although I was unconscious, I was still conscious. In the last blurry moment, I did hear footsteps. Perhaps he couldn't bear to see the Southern Liang royal family destroyed..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of that woman, the Queen Mother of Nanliang who had died in Muchi Palace!

It has to be admitted that the Queen Mother of Southern Liang, his biological mother, had an amazing understanding of him, and this understanding became a sharp blade in his life.

From the very beginning, she had never given him any room to survive. She joined forces with Gou Huan and conspired to take his life and plunder his luck. Even when he fell into the dust, she was unwilling to leave him even a trace of dignity and decency!

He had never caught a trace of warmth and affection for himself on her cold and ruthless face.

When he was young, he naively thought that as long as he became good enough, he could win his mother's favor...

So, he studied hard and practiced martial arts day and night, just to stand out in every academic competition with Xiao Junyi. However, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how bad Xiao Junyi's grades were, all the accusations and dissatisfaction always came to him like a tide, as if he was born with original sin!

When her father was still alive, she might have been able to restrain herself a little, but that was only the calm before the storm.

After his father passed away, she became even more aggressive and regarded him as a thorn in her side, making things difficult for him at every turn and pressing him step by step. During those days, it was as if he was in endless darkness, unable to find a ray of light or a way out.

In the end, he chose to escape and joined the army. The battlefield became his safe haven. The sky was high and the road was long. He was finally able to get rid of the suffocating palace fighting. Although no one was still interested in him, at least he found his own value and direction.

At that time, Xiao Junyi ascended the throne. The young emperor was unable to control those cunning and treacherous ministers, which led to chaos in the government and the people's misery. At that time, he had already started to establish the Flying Eagle Army...

For a person like him, unless his limbs are broken and his spine is pulled out, he will never be able to stand up again. Otherwise, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he will fight back and fight to the death!

Perhaps, Gou Huan realized this and spared his life at the last moment!

Now, he and Xiao Chen are the only ones left in the entire Southern Liang royal family. Lu Yuan's eyes are dim and the aura he exudes is heavy and depressing, as if even the air has solidified.

Seeing that he looked depressed, Si Yao deliberately joked in a light tone:

"Maybe, as he said, he made you go through all this just to meet me."

After saying that, she raised a mischievous smile, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere around her.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan's brows relaxed and he said in a deep voice:

"If not, his end would be tragic!"

The destiny of a country is an invisible pillar formed by the wishes of thousands of people, and it cannot be controlled by any one person alone!

Gou Huan, seeing the nation's decline, developed evil thoughts and used the pure souls of people with good deeds as sacrifices, attempting to refine those innocent lives and forcibly inject them into the nation's fortune in order to delay the decline of Southern Liang.

Such behavior is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It not only violates the law of reincarnation, but is also an extreme violation of human nature and ethics.

What's even more hateful is that not only did he not repent, he was also so audacious that he instigated Xiao Junyi to pursue the art of immortality at the cost of killing children. Each and every one of these was a heinous act.

It stands to reason that for such a sinner, the only fate he deserves is to be reduced to ashes and never be reincarnated!

But if everything is excessive, it will inevitably lead to resentment. It is better to leave a way out when doing things. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Master Chan Liao to take action.

Si Yao's eyes fell on the pendant in her hand. She stroked it gently, with a hint of hesitation in her tone:

"This...should we return it to the little emperor?"

Lu Yuan shook his head gently, his eyes firm:

"You keep it. This pendant was originally given to you by Gou Huan. Moreover, the dragon vein started because of you. Others... can't hold it!"

The children of the royal family are not simple-minded. This thing will not cause any trouble only if it is in Yaoyao's hands!
