Not only that…

Xie Qiao rubbed her eyes.

It was just that she could not see clearly, but she could see some larger objects. It was much better than being blind.

With such eyes, she should not be able to see ghouls anymore. Although there were some disadvantages, she did not have to worry about being scared by those ugly ghouls anymore. It was a win-win situation.

“I’ve already asked master to deal with Great Consort Hui, and he will take care of the rest. If you want to interfere, you can just recite the scriptures later. There’s no need for anything else. Now that you’ve taken in a disciple, you don’t have to be polite where you can order him around.” Zhao Xuanjing’s voice was gentle.

He was happy that Xie Qiao could wake up.

These few days, he had been worried all the time, afraid that she would not be able to open her eyes again.

When Xie Qiao heard that, she felt differently.

She was an old woman, she could never be idle!

Unfortunately… Now that she was half blind, she wanted to wink at him to show her pity, but she did not know where to look. Thinking that the Crown Prince was also worried about her, she had no choice but to agree.

“How did you deal with Great Consort Hui?” Xie Qiao asked listlessly.

“After drinking a cup of poisoned wine, she died. The grand preceptor wanted her to die with dignity. This method also left her body intact. Before I dealt with her, I set up a formation to restrain the resentment, so that she would not turn into a ferocious ghoul, saving a lot of trouble,” Mo Lingzi nagged, “That great consort… Tsk, tsk, tsk, I saw her face. I don’t know how much young woman’s blood was used to refine this evil pill to maintain it. It’s very scary.”

“What else?” Xie Qiao was quite curious.

“Before she died, she was quite unwilling to accept it. She cursed the heavens, the earth, her father, and you. She was very vicious.” Mo Lingzi snorted. “It was also because this penniless master could not stand it anymore. I told her about the time when I first saw the grand preceptor, and only then did she calm down.”

At that time, he told her in detail about the grand preceptor’s amnesia.

He also said that even though the grand preceptor had lost his memory, he kept repeating a few names in his mouth. He also recounted these names.

Great Consort Hui became more and more stubborn as she got older. Of course, she would not let go just because of that.

She was so angry that she went to the Yuxu Temple to borrow a few books. The price that needed to resolve the heavenly eye was clearly written in the books!

Only then did she believe a little.

Just a little.

After that, she began to laugh hysterically, saying that her father was selfish, that he gave birth to her and did not support her. Even before he left, he did not tell her all the truth.

If she had known back then, perhaps she would not have hated him until now.

And now, even if she knew everything, year after year, she would only hate him. Even if she died, she would never forgive him.

At that time, her state was very frightening. Even a Taoist master like Mo Lingzi, who had seen the world, was so scared that he did not dare to make a sound.

He could be considered to have sent her away.

Fortunately, she died quickly.

Mo Lingzi spoke in detail. When Xie Qiao heard it, she also felt very sad.

Something that happened so many years ago had changed Great Consort Hui’s life.

Perhaps…

“Master, do you think… that the evil dark energy had not been completely resolved back then, so Great Consort Hui’s personality was slowly influenced by it, and that’s why she was so stubborn?” Xie Qiao could not help but ask.

Mo Lingzi was stunned for a moment, then, he nodded. “That must be the case. Back then, the grand preceptor was wandering around, and there were quite a lot of evil people. He often went against them, and it was inevitable that his family would be harmed. Although the heavenly eye was resolved, it should still need to be nurtured. Presumably, Peng Tianming’s own situation was not optimistic at that time, so he forgot about this matter.”

Later on, he got amnesia, the more he could not remember.
