My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1057 - 1027: He Can Be Saved—Erect a Changsheng Tablet for Me

Wen Shi’s constitution is quite poor, but since it’s due to the intrusion of evil energy and the entanglement of Yin Evil, it’s not difficult to treat. Qin Liuxi didn’t use anything fancy, only drew an Evil Exorcism Talisman for him to wear, then instructed Teng Zhao to perform acupuncture once, and wrote a prescription for decoction to drink.

After this treatment, Wen Shi’s complexion actually improved, no longer looking as pale as a ghost, as if he were about to pass away.

Grandmaster Wen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, unexpectedly Cui Shixue really found him a master, perhaps his reckless grandson has survived a calamity, right?

Cui Shixue smiled and said to Grandmaster Wen, "Grand Preceptor, you see, once the expert steps in, you can see the results. I’ve solved your family’s issue here, and about that promise you made earlier?"

Grandmaster Wen snorted and said, "The matter isn’t over until you find the tomb owner’s remains."

Cui Shixue replied, "The temple master doesn’t give up halfway. Though her words may be harsh, she’s kind-hearted."

Grandmaster Wen did not respond to this.

Over there, Wen Yan said to Qin Liuxi: "Even with your guidance, going to Yao Mountain without someone like you to guide us, my second brother and the people with him might accidentally defy taboos and ruin your guidance. So, can you accompany us for this trip? No need to do much, just guide us as needed. The task of finding those remains will be handled by the people he leads."

This isn’t just a simple case of finding remains; there are causes and effects involved. They’re all ordinary people, unaware of the taboos entailed, especially regarding Dry Lake, which remains uncertain. What if something inexplicable arises?

Qin Liuxi pondered for a moment.

Lu Xun, standing nearby, said, "I can travel with the master. Once this is over, the Wen Family will surely express immense gratitude."

Qin Liuxi calculated on her fingers, a peculiar light flashing in her eyes, walked to the door, looked at the auspicious energy of the Wen Residence, then returned and said to Grandmaster Wen, "If I can follow to provide guidance and resolve matters, I ask not for immense gratitude, but only one request."

Grandmaster Wen’s old eyes sparkled, "What is it?"

"Have an Eternal Tablet erected for me, worshipped day and night with incense." Qin Liuxi smiled.

Everyone was stunned, an Eternal Tablet?

Little Ginseng looked at Qin Liuxi, tilting its head slightly, then looked at Grandmaster Wen, lost in thought.

Teng Zhao was also somewhat surprised, as the master had never asked anyone to erect an Eternal Tablet for her before; is there some significance?

There is certainly significance; Grandmaster Wen is the Imperial Tutor, Wenquxing descended to earth. The Wen Residence naturally possesses genuine literary energy. If she can have an Eternal Tablet worshipped here, she will be blessed by literary energy, perhaps increasing her odds against Si Luo in the future.

Yet, Qin Liuxi didn’t explain this to them.

Establishing an Eternal Tablet worshipped day and night isn’t hard to accomplish, so Grandmaster Wen agreed, knowing it represents faith, and even said, "As long as you solve this matter, I promise you this tablet will remain as long as the Wen Family stands, even if I’m gone, someone from the Wen Family will worship it."

Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, I’ll accompany Second Young Master on this journey." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It was already afternoon, snow began to fall outside, so Qin Liuxi and others stayed at the Wen Residence, preparing to set off for Yao Mountain the following morning.

The next day, a large carriage from the Wen Residence departed from the city, accompanied by a dozen guards on horseback. Outside the city walls, Lu Xun waited with several servants and guards, seeing the broad carriage, he dropped the reins and scrambled into it.

Inside the carriage, it was as warm as spring, remarkably different from outside.

"Is this carriage heated with an underfloor system? It’s so warm." Lu Xun was highly curious, as ordinary carriages, though sheltered, aren’t usually this cozy. He felt overdressed upon entering, almost overheating.

Wen Shi, huddled to the side, glanced at Qin Liuxi, then at the talismans stuck inside the carriage, softly said, "Brother Lu’s joking, where in Shengjing can you find a carriage equipped like that?"

"Then it’s..."

"Just stick-on Fire Talismans." Qin Liuxi explained with a smile.

Lu Xun paused, scanning the surroundings, spotting talismans drawn to resemble flames in all corners of the carriage.

Indeed, Taoist talismans are versatile, with the Fire Talisman being exceptionally useful, much easier than clutching onto a Mrs. Tang.

He wondered if he could take the talisman with him once they return.

Wen Shi noticed Lu Xun staring intently at the talisman with bright eyes and felt a pang of worry—was Brother Lu eyeing those Fire Talismans?

Lu Xun, noticing Wen Shi’s vigilance, awkwardly smiled; the boy remained as protective as ever, merely eying the talismans, surely not intending to snatch them.

The Yaoshan Ore Mine is a day’s fast ride from Shengjing, and by nightfall, they arrived in the area, temporarily settling in a village near the mine called Mei Village.

However, Qin Liuxi and company were taken aback by the archways at the village entrance.

To lodge there, the Wen Family had already sent servants ahead to arrange accommodations, and now the Village Chief of Mei Village awaited them at the entrance. Seeing them stunned by the arches, just as the chief was about to speak, Lu Xun explained to Qin Liuxi first.

"These are the Chastity Arches of Mei Village, six in total, garnering the village considerable reputation."

Village Chief Mei wore a proud expression, smiling, "Erected in honor of our village’s Chaste and Brave Women, Mei Village is renowned as the Heroic Woman Village, with thirteen of such women still residing in the village today."

Qin Liuxi scoffed lightly, retracting her gaze, appearing indifferent, and if observed closely, a trace of disdain could be seen in her eyes, though she said nothing.

Lu Xun, keenly perceptive, noticed the shift in Qin Liuxi’s demeanor, glanced at her, noting the change to a visibly cold expression, instinctively looking at those arches—did they harbor any resentful energy?

As Village Chief Mei led the way, Lu Xun deliberately lagged behind, coming up beside Qin Liuxi, and whispered, "Is there something wrong with this village?"

Qin Liuxi chuckled, "If so, would Young Master Lu intervene for these Chaste and Brave Women?"

Lu Xun froze; issues related to Chaste and Brave Women?

He turned back to the stone archways, under the curtain of night they exuded a grotesque and menacing aura, hauntingly like a malevolent beast.
