Offering my divine power to break my karma

"Of course, Master Fu Yue is so famous, not only because of his talent and appearance, but also because..."

Luo Qingya's smile was somewhat mysterious.

"And there's Young Master Fu Yue's romantic affair."

Mr. Fu Yue’s romantic affairs?

Zero blinked, somewhat curiously.

Seeing the curiosity in Ling's eyes, Luo Qingya's desire to share increased a little more.

"Mr. Fu Yue's romantic affairs began 50 years ago."

"Fifty years ago, Master Fu Yue, who had always been in the limelight in the eyes of the public, suddenly revealed that he and his eldest brother, the Lord of Nanhai City, fell in love with the same woman."

"It is said that the woman was extremely beautiful and bewitched Master Fu Yue and the Lord of Nanhai City. The two brothers gave them whatever they wanted. In the end, the two brothers almost turned against each other, and the Lord of Nanhai City almost lost his position as the young master."

"The love-hate relationship between these three people lasted for more than half a year in Nanhai City before it ended."

"What happened next? Who did the woman choose?"

Zero asked with some curiosity.

Xingchen beside Ling also seemed to be listening with great interest.

"Later, that woman disappeared. The then young master of Nanhai City successfully became the current city lord of Nanhai City and even got married and had children. But Young Master Fuyue became depressed and never left Nanhai City again."

Hearing Ling's question, Luo Qingya's tone was a little regretful.

But the smile on that pretty face was somewhat ironic, and it didn't look like she really had any regret in her heart.

Seeing her saying one thing and thinking another, the handsome men from the Beast Taming Sect all looked helpless.

Ling blinked his almond-shaped eyes.

"Fairy Qingya, how credible do you think this story about Mr. Fuyue's love affair is?"

Hearing Ling's question, Luo Qingya raised her eyes in surprise and looked at Ling.

Looking into Ling's calm phoenix eyes, Luo Qingya blinked and smiled gently.

"People outside say that Master Fu Yue and the Lord of Nanhai City were bewitched by that stunning beauty. What do you think of this, Fellow Daoist Murong?"

Luo Qingya asked back.

After thinking seriously for a few moments, Ling expressed his thoughts very frankly.

"It suddenly came out that he and his brother fell in love with the same stunningly beautiful woman. Because of that beauty, he and his brother almost became enemies, and his brother almost lost his position as city lord. In the end, that beauty suddenly disappeared, and his brother continued to inherit the position of city lord..."

Having said this, Ling paused, feeling somewhat amused, and then continued:

"If Mr. Fu Yue's romantic affair is simply related to love, I think there are many unreasonable aspects."

"Oh. Then, Fellow Daoist Murong, what do you think should be placed on it, if not simply on love?"

Luo Qingya walked closer to Ling, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ling became brighter.

Zero uttered two words calmly.

"right."

Hearing these two words, Luo Qingya smiled brightly at Ling with a gentle tone.

"Fellow Daoist Murong thinks the same as I do."

Luo Qingya said.

"I think so."

A handsome man from the Beast Taming Sect echoed.

"Let's not talk about whether the legendary beauty who was so beautiful that she could overwhelm the whole country and whether she had bewitched the city lord and Master Fuyue. Just look at this story from beginning to end. The only thing people talked about about this beauty was her beauty and her bad reputation that almost caused the two brothers to turn against each other. If the city lord and Master Fuyue really loved this beauty as much as the legend said, how could they let their beloved beauty fall into the drama of the brothers fighting against each other? How could they let their beloved beauty have no good reputation at all except her beauty from beginning to end?"

Another handsome man said with disdain.

Thinking of something, the other party said again:

"This beauty is not a good reputation."

"What Second Brother said makes sense."

"If you really like her, no matter what her character is, she won't be seen as a foxy girl by others, and she won't be used as a joke by others."

"Moreover, this affair is so well-known, but we have always only called this stunning beauty a beauty, and even her real name has not been spread out. This is too strange."

"That's a little strange indeed."

The other handsome men agreed with the handsome man with a disdainful look.

The handsome man called the Second Brother just smiled faintly.

Zero raised an eyebrow as he listened to the speeches of these handsome men.

How can I put it? They are a group of men with normal values.

Hmm? I don't know if it's my nature or if I was taught well by Fairy Qingya.

"Fellow Daoist Murong, it is said that the old city lord at that time valued Master Fu Yue more than the current city lord of Nanhai City."

Luo Qingya suddenly moved closer to Ling and spoke in a low voice.

Ling was not used to the other person being so close to him, so he took two steps back calmly.

But seeing Luo Qingya's brilliant smile and eyes as bright as stars, Ling also smiled back at her.

After talking about Master Fu Yue's romantic affair, everyone turned the topic back to the disappearance of the Lord of Nanhai City.

Luo Qingya shared the information that their Beast Taming Sect had obtained, about Young Master Fu Yue banning fishermen from going out to sea to fish.

Ling thought for a moment, organized his words, and recounted everything he had heard in the tavern, including various things that might be related to the disappearance of the Lord of Nanhai City.

After Ling finished speaking, Shen Fengchen from the Tianji Sect also told about some of his experiences in the City Lord's Mansion.

For example, the person who actually manages Nanhai City now is not the young master Nan Ting Xiao, but Young Master Fu Yue.

For example, Nan Ting Xiao and Fu Yue Gongzi, the uncle and nephew, often have tit-for-tat relationships even in front of outsiders.

For another example, although it is Young Master Fu Yue who is in charge of the entire Nanhai City, most people in the City Lord's Mansion are more willing to obey the orders of the Young Master.

For example, the servants in the City Lord's Mansion discussed privately that the City Lord might have been harmed by Master Fu Yue, and that Master Fu Yue wanted to seize the position of City Lord.

Listening to what Shen Fengchen said about his experiences in the City Lord's Mansion, Ling, Luo Qingya and others who had not been to the City Lord's Mansion had only one thought in their minds.

This city lord’s mansion is really lively.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had said almost all the information they were willing to exchange, so the group prepared to return to the inner city.

At this moment, high waves suddenly rose up on the calm sea, as if some huge force was stirring the sea water.

The calm sea water seemed to be boiling suddenly, and began to bubble. Strings of bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea, making the entire sea surface lively.

After a while, one after another, strange-looking but ugly sirens emerged from the South China Sea.

Some of them have fish fins and tails, while others have human bodies but octopus-like tentacles.

More importantly, the strongest among these sea monsters has reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and the weakest is in the late stage of foundation building.

Everyone felt a little scared when they saw these sea monsters crawling up from the sea one after another and attacking Zero and others who had not left yet without any explanation.

There are too many, there are just too many sirens.

Also, why did the siren, which had not come ashore for many years, suddenly crawl ashore?
