Chapter 76

  Jing Wuyuan didn't say a word, just looked at Nie Xiaoqian with a smile that had several layers of meaning; he was waiting, waiting for Nie Xiaoqian to take the initiative to speak up; Jing Wuyuan had long since calculated his sister's fortune, and it seemed that among all things, Nie Xiaoqian was the most crucial person.

  Jing Wuyuan is still very confident in his divination skills, since the hexagrams have already said so; Nie Xiaoqian is the key to everything, Jing Wuyuan absolutely believes that only Nie Xiaoqian can be the savior of his sister Blue Demon.

  Unfortunately, Jing Wuyuan did not know; the divination technique he had always been proud of also made a mistake this time. This was probably something that Jing Wuyuan had not anticipated either.

  Nie Xiaoqian looked at the silent Mo Wu and thought for a moment before speaking: "Teacher Wu, I came to find you today because there's something I want to ask you."

  "Oh!" Jing Wu Xuan raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I don't know what you want to ask me, Little Qian?"

  Nie Xiaoqian took out the Blue Devil's Handbook from her bosom: "Teacher Wu Yan, do you know this Blue Devil's Handbook?"

  "Blue Magic Notebook?"

  Jing Wu accepted the Blue Devil's Handbook from Nie Xiaoqian with a nostalgic expression on his face. He couldn't have imagined that the Blue Devil's Handbook, written by his own sister, would end up in Nie Xiaoqian's hands. How could this be?

  In the eyes of Mo Yuan, a hint of astonishment flashed by, he clearly remembered; after the battle between the human world and the demon realm in Honghe Village back then, Demon Lord Liu Dao died at the hands of Xuan Xin Zheng Zong; Yin Yue Sheng Hou, now Yin Yue Tai Hou, led the people of the Yin Yue Imperial Court back to the Demon Palace.

  Because of Mo Jun Liu Dao's death, the depressed and grief-stricken Yin Yue Sheng Hou shifted all her anger onto her younger sister Lan Mo; not only was Lan Mo imprisoned in the Cold Palace, but also had all of Lan Mo's handbooks destroyed one by one. How could it be that there would still be a remaining copy of Lan Mo's handbook in Nie Xiao Qian's hands?

  "Xiao Qian, where did you get this Blue Devil's notebook?" Jing Wu Yuan looked at the familiar elegant font on the Blue Devil's notebook, and in his mind's eye, he seemed to see again his sister Blue Devil, that beautiful and lovely smiling face.

  "Brother, what do you think my future husband will be like? Will he be as wise and brave as the Holy Lord?" A 14-year-old girl asked her handsome brother repeatedly.

  "Brother, aren't you very good at fortune-telling? Can you help me figure out when the person destined for me will appear?"

  A sixteen-year-old girl has grown into a slender and elegant figure, with a lovely face that bears a hint of blushing red; she no longer chatters incessantly like before, but instead speaks in soft and gentle whispers.

  In later times...

  "Brother... you must help me, the child... the child is always innocent..." The beautiful face of the girl was covered with tears and a hint of faint pleading.

  "Unlucky teacher...... unlucky teacher......"

  Nie Xiaoqian found it strange that Mirror Wuyuan, who was fine just a moment ago, suddenly became dazed; she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and slap Mirror Wuyuan's shoulder: "Teacher Wuyuan, is there something wrong with this Blue Devil's Handbook?"

  "No, teacher just felt a little sentimental for a moment." Jing Wu Yan saw Nie Xiao Qian's concerned gaze and smiled warmly: "Xiao Qian, you haven't told the teacher where you got this Blue Devil Manual from? If the teacher remembers correctly, all of these manuals should have been burned more than ten years ago."

  Jing Wuyuan was originally a cautious and meticulous person, otherwise he wouldn't have become the first wise man of the Yin Yue Imperial Court. At that time, Jing Wuyuan had indeed witnessed the destruction of all the Blue Devil's notes with his own eyes, if there were any remaining Blue Devil's notes that had been overlooked.

  Then there was only one place left. Jing Wuyuan's eyes suddenly lit up; he thought of the last place where his sister, Blue Demon, was imprisoned - the Cold Palace!

  It was probably during that year when my sister was imprisoned in the Cold Palace, due to loneliness she rewrote a Blue Demon Notebook; this is the only possibility that can explain the origin of Nie Xiaoqian's Blue Demon Notebook.

  However, this Cold Palace has always been a place where the Yin Month Dynasty imprisons serious offenders. Nie Xiaoqian's courage has grown even more; Jing Wuyuan's eyebrows flashed with a hint of helplessness, he really didn't expect that Nie Xiaoqian would dare to sneak into the Cold Palace alone without being discovered, and even managed to bring out the Blue Devil's notes from the Cold Palace.

  Nie Xiaoqian saw the seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression on Jing Wuyuan's face and suddenly felt a little uneasy for no reason; under Jing Wuyuan's gaze, Nie Xiaoqian actually had a feeling of having nowhere to hide.

  "The last time I got angry with Seventh Brother, afterwards... afterwards in a fit of rage I went to the Cold Palace, and that's where I found the Blue Demon's manual."

  At first, Nie Xiaoqian still had a bit of confidence; the more she spoke, the softer her voice became, until it was almost inaudible by the end. Fortunately, Jing Wuyuan's hearing was good, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to hear clearly.

  "You're quite bold, little girl. What brings you to see me now?" Jing Wu Yuan let out a soft sigh, feeling like he was getting younger by the day; and yet, here he was, actually arguing with a young lass.

  "No chance of becoming a teacher!"

  Nie Xiaoqian looked at the mirror and blinked: "I just want to ask, there is no final outcome written on this Blue Devil's notebook; what happened to Blue Devil and Zhuge Qingtian in the end? Are they still alive?"

  "Is it? Are they still alive now?"

  Jing sighed softly, and his originally clear eyes became somewhat dazed: "Xiao Qian! The teacher also wants to know, what's the current situation with Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian? Are they alive or dead?"

  Jing Wuyuan has been an orphan since childhood, and Lanmo is Jing Wuyuan's only relative; compared to Nie Xiaoqian, Jing Wuyuan wants to know more about whether Lanmo and Zhuge Qingtian are alive or dead.

  Nie Xiaoqian did not expect that even Jing Wuyuan did not know the final outcome of Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian.

  "Really? Teacher Wu Yuan, you don't even know whether Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian are alive or dead?" Nie Xiaoqian's face showed a hint of disappointment as she looked at Mirror Wu Yuan; her eyes had a clear look of suspicion: "Didn't you say that Lan Mo was your sister, Teacher Wu Yuan? Are you really unaware of Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian's life or death? Don't lie to me!"

  Jing Yuexuan smiled slightly: "Xiao Qian, do you think Teacher is the kind of person who would deceive others?"

  "I can't see anything." Nie Xiaoqian carefully circled around the mirror, then honestly shook her head and said.

  This little girl...

  Jing Wu's eyes suddenly softened, and he said to Nie Xiaoqian with a warm face: "Xiaoqian, the teacher hopes that if there is such a day; you really know the whereabouts of Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian. Don't forget to tell the teacher at that time."

  Nie Xiaoqian opened her mouth just as she was about to speak, when Jing Wuyuan reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue bead; the bead was roughly the size of an egg, with a gentle blue color like water; on its surface, it also emitted a soft and gentle glow.

  Nie Xiaoqian's eyes widened in surprise, one hand pointing at the blue bead on Mirror's wrist; she was speechless for half a day.

  Jing Wu smiled faintly at Nie Xiaoqian: "Of course, the teacher won't let you do this for nothing. As a thank you gift, the teacher will give you the Blue Demon's Tears."

  Finally, Nie Xiaoqian found her voice, she dryly swallowed a mouthful of saliva; her eyes were full of incredulity: "Teacher Wu Yan, are you saying that this blue bead is really the legendary Blue Demon's Tear? The Blue Demon's Tear that can help people find true love?" Nie Xiaoqian stuttered.

  It is said that the Blue Devil's Tears are a mixture of the Blue Devil's tears and Zhuge Qingtian's blood. As long as two people who truly love each other are together, holding the Blue Devil's Tears in their hands, and one person says "I love you" to the other, the Blue Devil's Tears will emit a beautiful and dazzling light. This beautiful scene can only be seen by those who truly love each other.

  Nie Xiaoqian is now at an age where she has a lot of romantic notions, and since reading the Blue Devil's Notes written by the Blue Devil, she has been yearning for the Blue Devil's Tears that can lead people to find true love as described in the book.

  Now seeing the Blue Demon's Tear in Jing Wuxin's hand, Nie Xiaoqian's eyes almost emitted a green glow.

  "Really, Master Wu? Are you telling the truth?" Nian Xiaoqian swallowed hard, feeling as if she was having a bit of trouble breathing: "You really want to give me the Blue Demon's Tear?"

  Uh... As for what Jing Wuyuan said about asking her to help investigate the situation with Lan Mo and Zhuge Qingtian, it was directly ignored by Nie Xiaoqian.

  However, Nie Xiaoqian was ignored, but it didn't mean that Jing Wuyuan had forgotten his original intention: "Xiaoqian, this Blue Demon's Tear is something I can give to you; however, you must promise me that if you have the chance to leave the Yin Yue Imperial Court and go outside in the future, you will help me gather information about Blue Demon and Zhuge Qingtian."

  "Good!"

  Nie Xiaoqian agreed without hesitation, after all, only ghosts know if they have the opportunity in this life; to be able to go and take a look at the world outside the Yin Yue Imperial Court.

  However, Nie Xiaoqian did not know at this moment that she would soon leave the Yin Yue Imperial Court and go to the mortal world she had longed for. As a result, Jing Wuyuan was later scolded by Nie Xiaoqian for a very long time as an old fox!

  Nie Xiaoqian surprisingly agreed so readily, and Jing Wuyuan didn't drag his feet; he generously placed the Blue Demon's Tear in Nie Xiaoqian's hand.

  "Xiao Qian, I'll give you this Blue Devil's Tear first; I believe you won't disappoint me, will you?"

  "What a beautiful Blue Magic Tear!"

  Nie Xiaoqian stared at the Blue Demon's Tear in her hand with a nearly infatuated gaze, her entire mind focused on it. No matter what Jing Wuyan said, she nodded and agreed to everything.

  It wasn't until much later, when Jing Wu Yuan came to collect his debt, that Nie Xiao Qian regretted it immensely. It turned out that she had unknowingly agreed to Jing Wu Yuan's outrageous conditions.

  Originally "beauty deceives people" doesn't just refer to handsome men and beautiful women; it can also be used to describe beautiful things!
