Translator: Zen_ Editor: Rock
A palace maid walked up. “Everyone, just like the past, whoever receives the pill in our state preceptor’s hand is the one who will lose their life in a few days’ time.”
Pill?
Yun Luofeng frowned and turned to look at the audience beside her, asking, “Why does the state preceptor use a pill instead of directly saying someone’s lifespan?”
That person glanced at Yun Luofeng with disdain in their eyes. “You don’t even know the state preceptor’s personality? The state preceptor is kind and can’t bear to say someone’s end is near, so she uses this method to avoid it.”
After saying this, they did not pay attention to Yun Luofeng anymore and tensely watched the woman in cyan on the balcony.
Yun Luofeng was speechless. If she truly could not bear it, then she would not prophesy someone’s death. Her action was undesirable to begin with.
“Everyone, our state preceptor has come to a conclusion. She hopes the one predicted by her will make arrangements for their funeral.” The palace maid spoke again, causing everyone to become more anxious.
The state preceptor acted. She flicked a pill into the air, and it instantly hit a person’s throat. The pill might have come from a distance, but it did not have a lot of power behind it and the spot it hit did not even redden.
Even so, the target knelt on the ground with a plop, their deathly pale face full of despair.
Everyone else all shook their head, their face containing sympathy and pity, but no one went over to help the person up.
Yun Luofeng was different from other people. After seeing the pill hitting that person’s throat, her face darkened and a harsh glint flickered past her eyes. “Xiao Mo, did you see it?”
A moment later Xiao Mo answered, “I saw it. This pill is smeared with poison. It only needs to touch the skin and the person will certainly die within five days! I was puzzling over the fact that there was actually someone who could predict a person’s death in this world, but I didn’t expect them to use this cruel method.”
Those people said that the state preceptor did not accept anyone who visited her and only used this method to predict someone’s death. This method was evidently accurate.
It was not that the youth who was hit by the pill was destined to die. But… the pill was smeared with poison, so how could he not die?
“Master, are the people of this country stupid?” Xiao Mo was speechless. The woman claimed to be the state preceptor obviously did not have any true skill but was able to dupe these ignorant people through and through.
“They are not stupid. It’s just that this country doesn’t have the existence of physicians and poison masters, so they don’t know the pill has poison on it.”
Moreover, the inhabitants of this country had been cut off from the rest of the world for so many years, so how could they know the underhanded schemes of the outside world? It was natural for them to be deceived.
“Master, won’t you go save that youth?”
“We are strangers, so why should I save him?” Yun Luofeng shook her head. “I won’t interfere with matters unrelated to me.”
More importantly, this place respected strength. If she saved someone prophesied to die, then it would attract the notice of the elders in the country. Perhaps they would even force her to be the queen.
Why would she do something so strenuous and unrewarding like that?
Yun Luofeng turned around and did not glance at the situation any further, walking to the other end of the street.
On the balcony, Lin Youyu appeared to have detected something and she looked at Yun Luofeng in the crowd, killing intent flashing through her eyes.
