The Otherworldly God

Chapter 167

Le Ying was still sitting by the well in a daze. She couldn't help but think of many past events. Things that she didn't dare to think about before, but now she can think about it and the things she thinks about are happier things.

As a descendant of the Murong clan, Le Ying's life was relatively good. Her father was not a Taoist priest but a businessman, so she had lived a life of luxury since childhood.

Out of love for his mother, his father knew that Murong's affairs had caused great harm to his mother, so even though his mother was a concubine, he allowed her to live a decent life and also let her take Murong's surname.

Before her mother died, she asked her to change her surname back, as she didn't want her to be involved in the thousand-year-old feud of the Murong family and let down the feelings of her loved ones like she had.

She didn't understand at that time that her mother did not tell her the truth. When her father conveyed her mother's last wishes, he told her about Murong's affairs, hoping that she could make her own choice.

The Murong family was originally one of the prestigious families in the Taoist Alliance. They were stationed in the East Sea Pavilion and had friendships with the East Sea Dragon Clan.

Everything started with a sword and got out of control, and that sword was the legendary Sword of the God.

There was a man in the Murong clan who was chosen by the Heavenly Sword and became the heir of that generation, but he ultimately failed to become the man of destiny as predicted by the goddess Zijin, and ended up losing the entire Murong clan.

The culprit behind the destruction of the Murong clan was the Tuoba clan, a family that coveted one of the Heavenly Swords.

In the human world, there are several relatively famous jurisdictions, and those who can become their managers are all prestigious families in the Taoist Alliance. Gradually, in the eyes of some families, having such jurisdiction means fame.

However, among these jurisdictions, there is Le Zheng in Jimen Pass, Gongsun in Bushian Mountain and so on, which are all unlikely for them to obtain. Only Donghai Pavilion, which is far away in the East China Sea, has changed owners many times throughout history, so it is not impossible for it to change its owner again.

The Tuoba clan was one of the families that had set their sights on the Donghai Pavilion. Coupled with the incident with the Heavenly Sword, they accelerated their pace in seizing the Donghai Pavilion.

In the end, Donghai Pavilion was framed, and before other families could step in, the Tuoba clan planned to eliminate it. The Donghai Pavilion was littered with corpses, and the Murong clan was almost completely wiped out.

The Tuoba clan then tried to exonerate themselves by constantly throwing dirty water on themselves, but other families were still dissatisfied, so they ended up making things difficult for others. Not long after the Gongsun clan and other families took turns to temporarily manage, with the rise of the Nangong clan, they easily took over the Donghai Pavilion. The Tuoba clan also resented Nangong for interfering and regarded him as a thorn in their side.

The Tuoba clan was resentful and had no choice but to rely on a few enlightened clan leaders, so the Nangong clan was able to gain a foothold in the Donghai Pavilion. However, the current head of the Tuoba clan is a man with greater ambitions, and disputes in the Donghai Pavilion may occur soon.

After learning the truth, Le Ying initially couldn't quite feel her mother's persistence in revenge. It was not until her family got into trouble that she learned that the person behind the scenes was the Tuoba clan, and they had been trying to eliminate all the descendants of the Murong clan.

With new and old grudges, Le Ying wished she could kill the head of the Tuoba clan immediately to avenge Murong.

During this period, she met Le Zhenghe and others. If it weren't for him protecting her, she would have died at the hands of Tuoba.

Later, in order to protect her, Le Zhenghe married her in a formal ceremony. With the title of the mistress of the Le Zheng family, Tuoba dared not take any action against her again.

Le Zhenghe's caring and concern made her gradually let go of her hatred and slowly began to focus on Le Zhenghe's reform and Le Zheng's future. But all this changed with Le Zhenghe's disappearance.

She didn't know what Le Zhenghe knew. After meeting Le Zhengzhi in private, he just said he had something to do and left Jimen Pass. He never came back. There were also rumors that he had entered the Black Forest.

Thinking of this, Le Ying also wanted to meet with Le Zhengzhi and ask him what he had talked about with Le Zhenghe. At least she thought she could find some clues from it.

At this moment, before she stood up, a figure appeared, and at this moment, she could feel who he was.

Le Ying didn't know how to say the first words to him. She had temporarily abandoned the identity of Murong Ying for eleven years.

Tears flowed faster than words, but they were still framed in her eyes until Le Zhengzhi knelt down and called out "Sister-in-law". Le Ying's tears welled up in her eyes, and he followed up with "I'm sorry".

Le Ying didn't know how to respond, nor how to control her tearful expression. She could only try her best to hold back her tears and said with a forced smile, "What sister-in-law? How can you be so reckless..."

"If it weren't for me, Senior Brother He..."

Le Ying finally couldn't bear it anymore, she turned around and slapped him, and yelled at him in a hoarse voice to shut up.

But after seeing Yue Zhengzhi's face, her hands couldn't help but tremble, tears fell down, and then she turned around to wipe her tears.

"My name is just Le Ying in this state."

Le Zhengzhi bent down deeply and called out meaningfully: "Sister-in-law."

Le Ying took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and finally calmed down, but she didn't have the courage to look at him for the time being.

"That night, I ran into you and Ah He having a secret conversation. I didn't hear a word of what you said. I regret it now. If I had heard a sentence or two, could I have stopped Ah He, or found out where he went? It's been seventeen years. Now that you've come to recognize me today, can you tell me what you talked about that day?"

Le Zhengzhi was skeptical at first, but now he was completely convinced that she was Murong Ying. This belief might have been due to his expectations. But Le Zhengzhi still couldn't say anything about her problem.

"I... am sorry."

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Le Ying stood up and turned around, pointing at her own face and said, "Look at my appearance, and listen to my voice, who dares to call me Murong Ying so easily?

I fought hard to survive, just to avenge my children and husband, even at the cost of turning into a demon.

It’s just that I was lucky and managed to save my life and my body as a Taoist. Otherwise, I would have returned as a demon seventeen years ago.

At that time, will you pick up a weapon and stab me?"

Le Zhengzhi didn't dare to look up at her, but just clenched his fists tightly. He hesitated whether he could tell her the truth that her son was still alive.

"Zhi is willing to die to atone for his sins."

Le Ying calmed down and sat down again.

"You would rather die than tell me, so how can I force you to do that?"

"Thank you, sister-in-law, for understanding."

"Ah He left for Le Zheng, right? This is the only reason that could make him so nervous.

Now I come back for Lezheng, I hope you can understand.

Ever since I married Ah He, I have been a member of Le Zheng. I originally wanted to change my surname to Le Zheng, but Le Zheng sounded too conspicuous, so I could only take the character Le.

It took me six years to become this way and survive, and I suffered a lot. Later, I followed Miss Shi Er and became her maid, which lasted for eleven years.

If the young lady had not married here, we would have planned to have the second young lady Shi marry here. Some things are destined, so I was recruited as a new maid and followed the young lady into Jimen Pass as a dowry.

I say this because I want you to understand that what the lady did may not be accepted by everyone, but she did not do it for herself.

Le Zheng had been carrying a false charge for thousands of years. In order to protect Le Zheng, our ancestors bound themselves tightly to the demon clan.

But the fact is that Le Zheng is on a downward spiral, and being tied to the demons all the time is not a long-term solution. I came back this time to find a long-term path for Le Zheng, which also fulfilled Ah He's wish."

Le Zhengzhi's attention was focused on the words "false accusation" she said. Only then did he realize that Murong Ying had already known about it, but he didn't understand how she knew it.

"How did sister-in-law know that...Le Zheng had been accused of a crime for thousands of years?"

"As expected, you guys have seen through this matter. I guess Yang Yan and Zuo Si left because they wanted to clear Le Zheng's name, right?"

Yue Zhengzhi opened his mouth slowly, replied with a "yes", and then immediately asked: "Where did you know this, sister-in-law?"

Le Ying didn't plan to answer and just laughed because she thought it was ridiculous.

“Some people want to hide this from the whole world, taking advantage of the short lifespan of the human race and wantonly distorting history.

But he, who can silence people and change the history of human race, is not the only one in the world who has lived a long life, and he is not the only one who has survived the war.

If you don't know, you can do nothing.

Le Zheng and the demon clan have always been thorns in his eyes. He is deeply afraid that Le Zheng will cooperate with the demon clan, and reminds him from time to time that Le Zheng is a traitor, in order to arouse our shame and deepen our hatred for the demon clan. In this way, Le Zheng and the demon clan will only be permanent opponents, instead of realizing his false accusation.

How can you sleep peacefully with thorns in your eyes and nails in your flesh for thousands of years?

Therefore, he wanted to get rid of Le Zheng and the demons as soon as possible, it was just a matter of time.

Now, he is still afraid of the demons and needs our Le Zheng to continue to hold them back for him, so the demons have ridiculously become Le Zheng's shelter.

It is conceivable that if he had the strength to fight against the demons and no longer feared them, Le Zheng would be useless.

Do you understand what I mean?"

"sister in law?"

"Don't worry, go back and think about it carefully." Le Ying leaned over to his ear and said, "There is a spy in Le Zheng, so take care of yourself."
