Yueqian felt a small sense of satisfaction upon seeing the expressions of the villagers. This was the scene she wanted to witness. After this, the Bai Region would no longer have to fight among themselves. However, from now on, she would use these rumors to deal with someone.
Regarding her identity, Yueqian understood why the villains wanted to target her. It was because she was known as the strongest woman at the moment.
If they could take her down, it would be akin to striking at the royal family. The royal family would suffer as a result, and those protecting her, including the Wang, would be heavily criticized for taking her in. But if this happened to someone else, like Wei Mudan, it would only lead to minor gossip that would have a slight impact on her reputation or the prospects of those wanting to marry her, but it wouldn’t be severe.
It was heard that in the Du Region, amidst the chaos, Yueqian’s reputation was also increasing without her needing to do anything. They dared to spread news in her favor to destroy the Qin family and General Deng.
They claimed that because of the pressure they exerted on her, she had to flee to another Region. Instead of the Du Region receiving medicine and trust from the Hu Region, this pressure forced Yueqian to earn merits in the Bai Region.
The villagers of the Du Region were already very angry. Their chances of survival were minimal, as many had started to succumb to an epidemic, and tens of thousands had died. Upon hearing that someone from the Du Region knew how to cure the disease but was exiled to the Bai Region, they became furious.
Some called for action against the two families, blaming them for the dire situation everyone was facing. They accused them of being traitors who sold out their country to the Bai Region.
They dared to pressure Eldest Young Miss Qin, painting her as evil when in reality, she never harmed anyone unless provoked. In the end, more people died because of them than were ever harmed by Eldest Young Miss Qin.
Especially with their claims that Eldest Young Miss Qin was foolish, unintelligent, and uncouth. After witnessing her capabilities in the Bai Region, would they still believe those words?
Everyone said that in the past, Eldest Young Miss Qin had been criticized by them because those people slandered her. Many felt sorry for Eldest Young Miss Qin, saying that she must have endured much suffering. Suddenly, she was sent to live with the poor Mu family villagers, which was like bullying a woman to the point of death.
This anger was directed entirely at the Du Region. Yueqian heard about this but didn’t pay much attention. After all, the well-being of the Du Region was not her responsibility. They chose to do it themselves, so it was only fair that these people should face some consequences.
Back to the present situation, the next performance, "The Beloved Bandit," began. This show was much more entertaining and easily brought people to tears.
In the end, their beloved bandit fell and died, his good deeds never coming to light, but he died with dignity.
The villagers cried out loud, and some children even said they wanted to be bandits like the beloved one. It was a performance that everyone greatly enjoyed. However, this show didn’t have an immediate impact because the one-eyed bandit was initially seen as an evil person, so people didn’t immediately connect it to the second story.
Nonetheless, as time passed, the moment rumors about the one-eyed bandit surfaced, people started to be suspicious. The characteristics of the one-eyed bandit they had heard of and the one currently emerging were entirely different.
Thus, the villagers began to connect the dots and formed different thoughts. They started to wonder if the bandits were truly the same group or if someone was pretending to be the one-eyed bandit.
The Wang, seeing this success, was very pleased. He liked this story very much. It was said that he ordered the Royal Ritual Department to include this performance in official ceremonies. Whenever there was a celebration, members of the royal family or officials could choose to have it performed, and it would be passed down through generations without changing the content. This act was considered a great honor!!
When the performance ended, rumors began to spread. The villagers started to speculate, and this led to changes in the rumors and predictions. Thus, the situation returned to normal within a few days. Mu Heng’s work became busy as usual. Time passed, and a few months later, Yueqian found herself having a good time.
Mu manor,
Today was more chaotic than usual because the beautiful Furen Mu was about to give birth. Many people were speculating whether the child would be a boy, as the monk had predicted, or a girl. If it was indeed a boy, it would mean that the blessed child would be Yueqian’s son.
Once again, Official Mu received assistance from the Wang, who provided many court ladies and soldiers for protection during this critical time. Just then, everyone was shocked to see the holy monk arrive at the Mu manor in person!
"Greetings to Venerable Monk," the Wang was the first to approach him. He was the highest-ranking person at the Mu manor at the moment, though he was not the owner of the manor since the owner was attending to his wife at the door of the birthing room. Therefore, it was not surprising that he personally greeted the monk.
"May blessings be upon you," the monk said with a smile. He wanted to see with his own eyes that both mother and child were safe. Even though he had already cast spells to ward off evil spirits, he still didn’t fully trust the actions of humans.
"Please, come in, Venerable Monk," the Wang invited. The monk did not refuse the invitation. After sitting down, he began chanting blessings continuously.
Everyone thought this birth would be smooth, but they were completely unprepared for what happened next. Suddenly, a large fireball was shot into the Mu manor. The screams of the people echoed, mingling with Furen Mu’s cries of labor. It turned out that some villain dared to launch a direct attack!
"Who are they?! How dare they act like this? Go capture them. Send people to protect the main house, safeguard Furen Mu and the child," the Wang said, his voice clearly showing his fury.
The fireballs kept coming, and this relentless attack overwhelmed the soldiers. Cries of distress filled the air, and the villagers outside were caught in the crossfire.
The celebratory music abruptly stopped, replaced by chaos. At the same time, over a hundred men in black stormed into the manor without fear of death. They did not engage in close combat but used fire relentlessly, aiming to burn everyone in the manor to ashes!
The monk opened his eyes, and they were filled with panic. His body immediately sprang forward. Furen Mu must not come to any harm, otherwise...
Bang!!
As the people rushed into Furen Mu’s chamber, the sound of the collapsing wall made their eyes widen. The monk’s face was filled with urgency. He saw a clear image of the destruction of humanity. With two men, a father and son, with one of them lost, how would they survive? They would certainly become enraged and hunt down their enemies like madmen.
If anyone had seen the monk at that moment, they would have been shocked for he no longer resembled the serene, revered monk who could remain calm even in the face of an earthquake!
"Scream!" The continuous screams of the court ladies filled the air. People were running for their lives in frantic chaos, but no one had seen Furen Mu.
She was still weak, and it was unknown whether she had successfully given birth. Everyone was very worried. However, when the Wang and the monk reached the inner courtyard, they were astonished.
What were they worried about? Furen Mu’s safety, right? And now, what did they see? Over a hundred elite guards, warriors from the martial world, were there. With just one of them, hundreds would have fallen. So, what was this situation?
There was only the figure of a beautiful woman lying tiredly, smiling. In her arms were two infants, a boy and a girl, both incredibly cute. Beside them stood an old man, making the monk and the Wang widen their eyes. They were influential figures in the Bai Region, so how could they not recognize him?
"The... The Divine Doctor?"
"How did the Divine Doctor end up here?" The Wang exclaimed in shock.
Outside, the fire was raging, and death was everywhere, but inside, the atmosphere was calm and pleasant. A faint scent of aromatic wood, prepared by the Divine Doctor, filled the air. Around him, there were many disciples standing like a steel fortress.
Seeing this scene, even the monk was momentarily stunned. His eyes trembled intensely. Perhaps he now realized just how terrifying the Divine Doctor was. The image of the other party had never appeared in his knowledge, not even his strong mystical sense could perceive it.
Yueqian’s complexity was like a winding path that gave him a headache. Yet, he knew that with a bit more practice, he could still discern it. However, the Divine Doctor seemed like a being that did not exist in this world, only emptiness appearing in his perception.
However, what was even more shocking was that the moment he looked at the little girl in Furen Mu’s arms, the same scene appeared in his mind again. This little girl was entirely beyond his ability to foresee! His mystic sense could not predict her future path. This was truly strange!
Otherwise, why couldn’t he have seen this earlier? All he had seen was Official Mu and his son. So why was there also a little daughter?!
"Oh, it seems that there are more witnesses to this matter now," the Divine Doctor said in a powerful voice, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
The Wang and the renowned monk couldn’t help but tremble with fear. The monk, being more composed, started counting the prayer beads in his hand to regain his composure from the immense pressure. The Wang, however, couldn’t regain his calm at all.
"So, how should we handle this?" The old man grinned wickedly, revealing his bright white teeth that seemed more like a grim reaper’s.
Yueqian, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but scold him. The beautiful woman had regained some of her strength and handed her son to her husband before giving her daughter to the master, who was intimidating everyone, to prevent him from doing anything excessive.
