Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 291: Mother's choice

"In addition, I have never been controlled by the emperor. The little part of her memory left is a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain..." Li said slowly, "There are few people there, and there is no palace wall, except for one. Outside a grotto and a hut, there is nothing."

"No, not controlled by the emperor?" Yan Qing showed an unbelievable expression, "and then..."

"She lived with me for a period of time, taught me talk and spells, but never mentioned herself. In her mouth, I just happened to be picked up by her at the foot of the mountain."

Although the two were still talking, Xia Fan on the side had already pulled their vigilance to the highest point.

The Privy Council’s arrest of the listener can also be interpreted as a kind of cover, but the hostility to the demon is definitely not a disguise. In case of abnormal movements of the green sword, he can only choose to force the opponent to stay.

However, Yan Qing seemed to be in a state of loss of consciousness.

She stared at Li blankly, but the focus of her eyes did not fall on Li, but seemed to be looking farther away. For Qing Jian, this is probably the most relaxed moment of prevention.

After a while, she shook suddenly and murmured something in her mouth, "It turned out to be, it turned out to be this way! That's right... and only this way can explain why she did it..."

Yan Qing's tone was stunned, enlightened, and lost, but it was more sad.

"Fool...you are really a fool..."

"So she can't entrust me to you." Li lowered her eyelids, "I am afraid that in her opinion, giving birth to a demon is a great shame. The days are not long but not short, but she never said I have never even asked me to call Master, let alone mother."

"I can occasionally feel that there is a contradiction in her heart that is entangled, but at that time she didn't understand the human heart, so she didn't think about it. Later I realized that she didn't like me that much, and what suppressed her was disgust. And rejection, she probably thought about whether she would just throw me into the wild and ignore it."

"I have never understood why she has such a contradiction and she has to take time every day to accompany me and teach me knowledge. I want to rescue her from the Privy Council. In addition to repaying her favor, I also want to solve this question. But if it really looks like You said that I was born to her, but I can understand it."

"You are right, I don't know her enough, but why don't you do that!" Yan Qing patted the table vigorously, "Since you have never been controlled by the emperor, she still has to participate in this incident. The reason for this Don’t you understand?"

"...What do you mean?"

"Li Mengyun chose to sacrifice herself in order to hide you completely!"

Li froze.

"Yes, even if it is Qingjian, even if she is as outstanding as her, she will definitely be panicked and frightened that her child is a demon, but she still treats you as blood and blood, there is no doubt about it!" Yan Qing shook her slightly trembling hand, "Otherwise, she couldn't explain why she didn't say a word from beginning to end, and accepted all guilt by default."

"Li Mengyun's reason for participating in the incident was neither because of the intimidation of the emperor, nor did she want to oppose the Privy Council-all she wanted was to save you and make everyone forget your existence... This is also the last thing she can do for you Thing."

Xia Fan was silent, and slowly lowered the hand holding the copper wire pendant.

Because I didn't want to hurt my friends, I didn't reveal a bit of news to my friends from beginning to end, and even when the final judgment was made, he never asked for pity.

Because she didn't want Li to spend her entire life in danger, she did not choose to escape, but faced everything alone.

Mixed between the Privy Council, a friend, and the emperor, she made a decision that seemed incomprehensible but was the safest for Li.

That is to pretend to be controlled by the emperor, attracting everyone's attention as a betrayer.

Facts have proved that the Privy Council was completely deceived--even Yan Qing believed that Li's child was harmed by the emperor and would not exist in the world.

This is the price of keeping a demon.

If not, it is almost impossible for Qingjian to conceal the whereabouts of a child. As long as the Privy Council conducts an investigation, it can always find some clues. Once the truth about the child is a demon is exposed, the fate of the child can be imagined.

For a while, Li was indeed very miserable. She was displaced and had no food to eat, just like a street boy... But she was also free.

This freedom has become the most powerful guarantee for her to grow up to adulthood.

After a while, Xia Fan asked, "Master Yan, do you still want to accept her as a disciple now?"

"I..." Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, "Finally, Mengyun was not sure to hide a demon in the headquarters back then. I insisted on doing this to harm her instead."

"Then you will report to the general mansion-report that you have found a fox demon hidden in the team of Jinxia City."

"If I want to have this idea, I don't need to report it." Qing Jian gave Xia Fan a cold look. "It's you—when did you find out that she was a fox demon? You dare to bring the demon to Gyeonggi. It's brave, and if it doesn't sound good, it's asking for death!"

"From the moment I met Li, I knew her identity."

"As an alchemist, don't you have any bad thoughts toward her?"

"Hey, isn't it a rule set by the Privy Council to be so harsh on the demon? You are too double standards, right?" Xia Fan curled his lips, let alone, is it a bad idea to touch the tail? "Compared with those rules, I believe in what I see with my eyes. Another thing I don't understand. Seeing your reaction, I seem to know that people can give birth to demons. Why is the Privy Council so wary of demons? "

Obviously in the Yong Dynasty, the demon would not be treated like this.

"Because I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the western countries." Yan Qing put the chain in his sleeve, "The talent of the demon is stronger than most alchemists. If they find a stable way to produce descendants, the status of the alchemist and the demon may be reduced. A fundamental change has taken place. In the Holy Wing Islands and the Ranjis Ocean Nations, the demon has become the upper hand in charge of secular power."

After speaking, she looked at Li with a hesitant expression, but in the end she still said, "I still have a ruthless please-can I take a look at what you really look like?"

"Are you doubting her blood?"

"No, I have no doubt about the chain's judgment, but... when she took off her hat, it suddenly occurred to me that the characteristics of the demon can be hidden, and the appearance can also be disguised. What method should you use... to change your appearance, right?"

This person's insight is really keen, Xia Fan raised his eyebrows and was non-committal, which is equivalent to handing over the power of choice to Li himself.

After looking at each other for a while, Li took off the fake skin on his face.

"Mengyun..." Yan Qing still murmured. She stretched her hand forward, as if she wanted to touch the fox demon's cheek. It was only halfway through that she realized, and she took her hand back with reluctance, "You are indeed like her. The eyebrows are almost as printed on a mold...that's fine."

I stood up with emotion~www.ltnovel.com~Although Yan Qing still has a little regret in her tone, she is quite satisfied compared to before, "No matter what, I have settled my mind. As for you—" she Pointing to Xia Fan, "If you really care about her safety, it's best to find a chance to send her out of Gyeonggi. The family has all collapsed, and more and more alchemists will return to Shangyuan in the near future. No one knows whether there is anyone inside. I found Miss Li’s flaws. If it’s because of you that puts her in a dangerous situation, I will come to the door no matter where you escape later, understand?"

"Don't worry, this is what I think."

Not just Li, but everyone should get away from Shangyuan City.

Just when the other party was about to leave the wing, Xia Fan suddenly thought of a key question, "Since Li Mengyun is Li's biological mother, who is her father?"

"No one knows." Yan Qing stopped. "Some people say it's an alchemist in the mansion, some people say it's an ordinary person outside, but I have never seen her have an affair, let alone a marriage."

"Even when she was escorted to Xu Country, didn't this person show up?"

"Yes, what's the use of such an unsympathetic man even if he knows who it is?" Yan Qing opened the door of the room without turning his head back, "So just assume he is dead."
