How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 152: The Moon Redeems the Remaining Years

Hu Die’s gaze fell: "You also know about the Blood Spear Plan?"

"Taking Daxia’s children with excellent aptitude and performing Genetic Transformation on them, turning them into spears to pierce through Daxia’s defenses—this is their Blood Spear Plan!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Do you really think your brother can still come back?"

Hu Die’s body trembled slightly.

Just this one question and her defenses were broken.

Because she clearly knows how the Blood Spear Plan is formed, it is carried out through training in a method akin to raising poisonous insects. What does raising poisonous insects mean? It entails placing ten poisonous insects in a container, letting them kill each other.

Eventually, the last remaining insect is called the venomous insect.

The Blood Spear in Nine Headed Snake follows the same method.

Any child entering has a chance of survival, but the maximum chance is merely one-tenth.

And that’s just the ceiling.

Because raising venomous insects involves more than one round of tests. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

People from there told her that her brother was still alive.

But, can the words from people from that side be trusted?

"Let’s change the question!" Lin Xiaosu said. "Even if your brother can still come back alive, do you think he is still your brother?"

Hu Die’s trembling intensified; this was her second breaking point, once again harshly pinpointed by Lin Xiaosu.

Anyone entering the secret base of Nine Headed Snake undergoes a complete transformation.

A naive and kind person goes in, a demon comes out.

Her brother was only nine years old when he entered.

A nine-year-old child is a blank slate; what he might become after coming out, who knows?

This is what Lin Xiaosu meant by asking if it’s still your brother when he comes back.

Lin Xiaosu sighed softly: "It seems that this question still hurts you. Let me ask a third question. Do you think that by working for them, they will truly fulfill their promise?"

Hu Die slowly raised her head: "Stop asking!"

"Because the three questions I asked, you can’t answer any of them!" Lin Xiaosu said. "You just have no other choice. You can only believe them because the only straw you have is in their hands, even though this straw has already turned to dust, you’d rather believe it’s there than believe it’s not."

Hu Die said, "You know all this, why do you still ask?"

Lin Xiaosu said, "If you really have no way out, I have one!"

Hu Die suddenly looked up...

Lin Xiaosu said, "Nine Headed Snake, is Qianlong’s biggest opponent, and also my, Lin Xiaosu’s, biggest opponent. Their secret bases, I will uncover them one by one, and sooner or later, I will find out who exactly is in there. If your brother is still alive, I can find him."

A frenzy filled Hu Die’s eyes.

"It’s a bit ironic, isn’t it? They promise you that you’ll find your brother, but it’s most likely a lie; your brother is just a bunch of grass in front of a ploughing donkey, while me, your enemy, can truly help you find your brother. On this point, I am different from them!"

"You’re not any different; you want to use me too! Dare you say you don’t?" Although Hu Die’s voice was very low, her madness was apparent.

"I admit I do!" Lin Xiaosu said. "But my use of you is fundamentally different from theirs! They want to use you for the long haul, so they can’t really return your brother to you; but me, while using you, I truly can find your brother."

Hu Die’s heart pounded...

This is the difference.

Yes, it indeed is different.

Nine Headed Snake told her that if she worked for them, they would return her brother to her.

He had used a vivid metaphor: the bunch of grass in front of the donkey pulling the mill.

That bunch of grass is just for the donkey to see, it’s not something they actually intend to let the donkey eat.

If the donkey really ate the grass, it would have no incentive to continue pulling the mill.

These people only want her, Hu Die, to work for them forever, so they would not actually give her brother back...

But he is different!

Whether it’s him or Qianlong, stopping evil and wiping out the Nine Headed Snake’s secret bases in Daxia is their ultimate goal.

If this goal were truly achieved, it indirectly also accomplishes Hu Die’s goal—among the information on the members of the secret base, one could truly find the whereabouts of her brother.

The rooftop was very quiet.

Only a faint sound of TV came from a few rooms.

Including Hu Die’s own room.

Little Moon was watching cartoons there.

Hu Die’s gaze slowly moved from the distant horizon back to Lin Xiaosu’s face, her face showing an unprecedented struggle: "Why?"

"What ’why’?"

"Why would you... give me a chance, facing someone like me?"

"Because of Little Moon!"

Because of Little Moon, what an absurd reason...

Such an irrational explanation...

But Hu Die understood; she sighed softly, "In the entire Miao Village, with a population of three hundred thousand, probably everyone feels that Little Moon meeting me is her luck, but who could imagine? It’s actually the opposite?"

To the people of Nine Headed Snake, encountering Qianlong or those standing with Qianlong involves nothing but a life-or-death struggle, no second option.

But tonight is different, tonight, Lin Xiaosu has given her a chance.

Why?

Lin Xiaosu told her it was because of Little Moon.

These words were true.

At least, at the moment when Lin Xiaosu spoke these words, they were real.

Because he genuinely felt the emotions Little Moon had for her, this teacher; these emotions were not just the affection of a student for a teacher, but more akin to a child’s feelings for a mother.

No matter what kind of person she was, regardless of how many evils she had committed, regardless of how many years she deserved under criminal law, in Little Moon’s eyes, she was the only star shining in the long, dark night.

Because in Little Moon’s darkest hour, she became Little Moon’s redemption.

Yes, redemption!

But who could have imagined?

In fact, Little Moon was also her salvation.

The eyes of children are the only flawless ones in the world.

It was this realization that made Lin Xiaosu believe that Hu Die was not beyond redemption...

That night, the sky over Miao Village was still adorned with stars and the moon.

That night, a gentle breeze blew across the mountains.

That night, what Lin Xiaosu and Hu Die talked about, no one knows.

But silently, a seed was planted into the grand scheme of things...

The night deepened, Hu Die returned to her room, gently straightening the blanket on the bed. Little Moon was well-behaved; she watched an episode of a cartoon, went to bed by herself, and slept clutching her blanket. Her teacher, under the dim light, quietly watched her for a long time.

Lin Xiaosu also returned to his guest room, standing by the window, looking out at the little garden.

In the garden, phoenix tail bamboo swayed with the wind.

A few butterflies danced gracefully in the garden.

Butterflies are strange creatures; before breaking out of their cocoons, they are ugly insects. After breaking out, they then reveal their grace, their elegance...

That same night, a car left Taichong.

There were two people in the car, Liu Qianxun and Li Ziyi.

Liu Qianxun drove, and Li Ziyi sat in the passenger seat, staring into the sky, her eyes filled with desolation.

"Ziyi, are we going to fail again like this?" Liu Qianxun’s voice came faintly, filled with a bit of desolation and confusion.

Yes, Ziyi’s strategies always had her faith, supported by countless examples as her confidence.

However, this trip to the Southern Border, facing this rookie, they failed again.

And it was a double failure.

Li Ziyi had set up two strategies, and he actually fell for both.

The first was: Tap into Du Tiange’s unmatched combat abilities, to kill him! The hardest part of this strategy was to lure him out of the country. To leave the country, they had crafted several plans, one of them involving helping Lin Xiaosu encounter a confidante in the Southern Border, then snatch this confidante to lure him out.

They had even designed such schemes.

It shows how prepared they were.

Who could have expected that Lin Xiaosu wouldn’t trouble them much, as he went to the border post himself and left the country? But the script, initially operating exactly as they planned, deviated in its later stages.

Du Tiange caught up with him.

Du Tiange died!

He came back lively and kicking!

The second strategy was to lure him into Miao Village.

Because they knew how terrifying Miao Village could be.

Qianlong entering Qianlong would die.

He entered, he would die too.

The biggest problem was still how to get him inside...

They still didn’t have to rack their brains too much, Lin Xiaosu himself was crazy enough to just walk in...

Once he did, it thrilled the two women, feeling as if the heavens were favoring them...

However, the script deviated again!

The first half perfectly matched their initial intentions, dreamy in its perfection.

The latter half deviated once again, deviations that made one question life.

In a place like Miao Village, facing the ancient Qianlong, Thousand faced God of Murder, he directly counter-killed!

With both strategies failed, they had to leave.

And they had to leave overnight.

Because they had a terrifying premonition that the chess piece in the hotel might be exposed, and once exposed, Lin Xiaosu might find them.

You can doubt whether a donkey really has four legs, but never doubt Lin bastard’s tracking skills.

They smoothly left the Southern Border.

At dawn, they arrived effortlessly in a major city.

Blending into the crowd of millions, their tension finally seemed to ease.

At this moment, with new identities, based solely on vehicle and personal information, absolutely no one could pinpoint them...

Liu Qianxun finally took a deep breath, "Where are we heading now?"

Li Ziyi said, "To see my teacher."

"Our college professor?" She and Li Ziyi were classmates in university, Li Ziyi’s teacher was naturally also her teacher.

Li Ziyi gently shook her head, "No, a teacher from a different path."

Liu Qianxun’s face changed...

"This thief, indeed, is extraordinary, but please believe, in front of my teacher, all his skills are trivial!"

...

The morning sun rose.

Baili Miao Village bathed in sunlight, peaceful and serene.

The wind was still as cool as yesterday.

The fog, still as misty as yesterday.

In the tea garden, there seemed to still be the songs from yesterday.

Lin Xiaosu leisurely walked by the edge of the tea garden, two village girls hiding in the tea forest whispering...
