“However, what was waiting for me was the pursuit of the God Race’s army.
They said that I had robbed the entire God Race’s treasury.”
“I’m innocent.”
“I only took some treasures to enhance cultivation level. How could I have plundered the treasury? The things inside could fill a world, and I couldn’t possibly take them all.”
Hua Xiangrong said in an aggrieved manner. Her eyes reddened. The period of being hunted down had left her exhausted and in great pain, with no one to confide in. Now, speaking with Li Qingshan, she finally let out the pent-up frustration, feeling much relieved.
Li Qingshan listened, his brow furrowed slightly.
This situation wasn’t unfamiliar.
For instance, in a jewelry shop where the manager embezzled a large sum, the discrepancy couldn’t be reconciled.
Just at that time, the main family wanted to audit the accounts, and the manager trembled, thinking he would surely be exposed.
But just then, two thieves targeted the jewelry shop and stole two gold bracelets on a dark and stormy night.
The next day, the manager loudly reported the theft and spread the news, quickly amplifying the impact of the incident.
The authorities asked the manager how much the stolen jewelry was worth. Without hesitation, the manager said, “Worth thirty million!”
Instantly, this incident caused a sensation, with everyone discussing how two thieves had stolen thirty million worth of gold from this jewelry shop.
Some even said it was the work of a saint thief, robbing the rich to help the poor.
The authorities took it very seriously and investigated the matter.
After learning about it, the main family scolded the manager severely and mobilized their family’s influence to search for the thieves.
When the two small-time thieves found out about all this, they looked at the few ounces of gold bracelets in their hands and were speechless.
“Brother-in-law, a few ounces of gold worth thirty million?” The younger brother-in-law asked incredulously.
“Damn, that’s way too much,” The brother-in-law cursed, realizing they had to leave town immediately and couldn’t show their faces.
This story was quite similar to what Hua Xiangrong had experienced.
After Hua Xiangrong took some divine medicine to enhance her cultivation, the son of the Godly King had a clever idea. He directly emptied the treasury and claimed everything inside for himself, loudly proclaiming that the Divine Court had been robbed.
Hua Xiangrong was made the scapegoat, and she couldn’t explain because if caught, the son of the Godly King would undoubtedly take possession of her and treat her as a plaything. So, she could only run away.
“The Godly King should have known about this.”
“But the Godly King chose to protect his own son, covering for him and personally forcing Hua Xiangrong onto a route of escape, forcing her into the Abyss Forbidden Land and making this matter a closed case.”
“If it weren’t for my appearance, discovering the Qingqing family’s affairs, causing a sensation in the God Realm, and waiting a few more days, the Godly King would have personally taken action to capture Hua Xiangrong, and her explanations would have been useless,” Li Qingshan thought to himself.
The mastermind behind this was the son of the Godly King. He coveted Hua Xiangrong’s body, causing all these troubles.
The key point was that the son of the Godly King even came to supervise the
Abyss Forbidden Land before the capture, wanting to gain some military merit.
“The Godly King spoils his son too much. He’ll run into trouble sooner or later,” Li Qingshan sneered inwardly.
Looking at Hua Xiangrong, who was in tears, Li Qingshan comforted her, “It’s okay now. We’ve already left the Abyss Forbidden Land. Next, I’ll take you out of the God Realm and into the Celestial Court. There won’t be such troubles anymore.”
“But I’m most probably already wanted. I’ll be discovered, ” Hua Xiangrong worried.
Li Qingshan took out a human skin mask and said, “Wear this, and there won’t be any problems.”
“What about you, brother-in-law?” Hua Xiangrong thought Li Qingshan was giving her his mask.
“I have two. It’s just enough for us to use. From now on, stay calm and quiet, and leave the God Realm behind. None of these matters concern you anymore.
You’ll stay at the Celestial Court Academy and cultivate peacefully. We’ll find your sister together. With me protecting you, no one can harm you,” Li Qingshan said solemnly.
Hua Xiangrong wiped away her tears and said happily, “Thank you, brother-in-law.”
“Um, why does this human skin mask have a woman’s scent?” Hua Xiangrong picked up the human skin mask, her nostrils twitching as she detected a different aroma.
She looked at Li Qingshan suspiciously, then whispered, “Brother-in-law, my sister isn’t around. You can’t make mistakes…
Li Qingshan blinked, only then realizing that it was previously worn by the Fox Lady and must have absorbed her scent.
Women are very sensitive to such things, but Li Qingshan hadn’t noticed at all. As soon as she touched it, she caught this faint aroma.
“Before, I encountered a Fox Lady who disguised herself as my maid…” Li Qingshan wanted to explain but was stopped by Hua Xiangrong.
“Brother-in-law, I know. I understand that my sister isn’t around. But in the future, when I’m with you, you can’t find other women, okay?” Hua Xiangrong looked understanding and blinked at Li Qingshan.
Not find other women…
Could it be she meant someone nearby?
An image flashed through Li Qingshan’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it and said firmly, “Nonsense, hurry up and put it on. Let’s leave together.”
Li Qingshan put on the human skin mask and stood up, waiting for Hua Xiangrong.
“Who knows what you’re thinking,” Hua Xiangrong muttered, meticulously washing the human skin mask before putting it on, changing her appearance.
Quietly and inconspicuously, Li Qingshan and Hua Xiangrong left the God Realm.
This time in the God Realm, they didn’t find Hua Yun, but they found Hua
Xiangrong, which was considered a gain.
However, Li Qingshan felt a tinge of regret in his heart.
He now had some understanding of the divine art of divination of the Celestial Court’s Tian Suanzi..
