My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 120 - 93: Certain Death Within Three Days!_6

Every generation of rulers in Daxia, during their reign, have distributed a certain number of Death Exemption Tokens to the favored members of the Royal Family or to important courtiers.

Father Emperor, however, had been ignoring court affairs for years, and hadn’t issued a single Death Exemption Token for over a decade.

In these past years, Minister of Justice Li Xuanjing had turned the court into a veritable sea of blood and mountain of corpses.

Quite a few Death Exemption Tokens had been used up in previous years, and none had appeared in recent years. Unexpectedly, Marquis Yunyang still had one.

The Death Exemption Tokens had been issued by a previous emperor, and it was natural that subsequent emperors couldn’t deny the ancestor.

Anyone who produced a Death Exemption Token could avoid death once for any crime except treason.

From Li Anning, Li Nuo learned about the Death Exemption Token and fell into a long silence.

These nobles had a plethora of methods to evade their crimes, making them incredibly hard to guard against.

Despite putting forth so much effort, in the end, it amounted to nothing.

This damn fellow is truly difficult to kill...

He looked at Li Anning and asked, "Is there any other way?"

Li Anning thought for a moment and said, "There is."

Li Nuo’s eyes lit up as he asked, "What way?"

Li Anning pulled a waist knife from a constable’s belt and handed it to Li Nuo, saying, "While Li Yuan is still not far away, chase after him and kill him with a single strike. This month, King Chun, the elder brother, is acting as Regent. He will definitely try to save you. If the courtiers disagree, have your father ask the Father Emperor for a Death Exemption Token — he might agree..."

"..."

Li Nuo looked at her intently.

No wonder she is of the Fourth Realm, she practices getting things done by bypassing the Law when it fails to punish.

Li Nuo didn’t take the knife, instead, he said, "Good idea, but I think you are more suitable for this matter, Your Highness. No matter what, Li Yuan is a Martial Artist of the fourth realm; even if I had a knife, I would not be able to defeat him. With your distinguished status, even if you killed Li Yuan, the court wouldn’t actually do much against you..."

The two exchanged glances, appreciation evident in their eyes.

Across from the Ministry of Justice.

A fortune-telling stall on the street corner.

A girl with a candied haw in one hand randomly made gestures with her other, watching a man in prisoner’s clothing being taken out, and she said shaking her head, "Within a year’s life expectancy, he must be a death row inmate..."

At the fortune-telling stall, an old man with a white beard tapped her on the head, and said grumpily, "Focus when you’re divining, our Yin Yang School lineage already doesn’t have many successors. You’re not fully committed to your cultivation. That man has less than a two-hour lifespan; he’s definitely being taken out for execution. I’m not asking you to predict within a two-hour span, but you should at least be able to see within ten days."

The girl rubbed her head, bit into a hawthorn, and said defiantly, "Less than two hours still falls within a year, I’m not wrong..."

The old man massaged his brow, very tempted to hit her again, but ultimately restrained himself.

In their lineage, only the grandfather and granddaughter were left; if he actually knocked her senseless, the Dongfang Family line would end.

As another convict was escorted into the Ministry of Justice, he snatched the candied haw from the girl’s hand and said, "Divine again..."

This time, the girl used both hands, her fingers moving swiftly, and after a while, she said, "Half a year, he will definitely die within half a year!"

This time the old man somewhat nodded. Although this person would die in three months, considering her current abilities, forecasting half a year was already quite good.

Predicting someone’s lifespan was the most basic skill of the Yin Yang School.

The Ministry of Justice, a place frequented by many serious criminals with generally short life expectancies, was most suitable for a lower realm Yin Yang master to practice.

A young gentleman, dressed luxuriously, walked out from the Ministry of Justice, and the girl’s fingers moved so fast they blurred, but ultimately, she shook her head, saying, "I can’t tell, he surely has a long life ahead..."

This man, dressed impressively and appearing distinguished, it wasn’t surprising she couldn’t predict his fate.

The old man pinched his fingers to divine casually, a hint of a strange expression flashed in his eyes, prompting him to stare at the gentleman for a bit longer.

Noticing the old man’s gaze, the gentleman frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"

Although he had come out of the Ministry of Justice safe and even ridiculed Li Nuo, losing their household’s only Death Exemption Token meant Li Yuan wasn’t in a good mood.

When he was feeling irritable, everyone seemed objectionable to him.

The old man looked away, saying, "Nothing."

After all, it was the entrance of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Yuan didn’t bother arguing with the old man. After a cold snort, he turned and left.

Once he was gone, a disdainful expression surfaced on the old man’s face, and he shook his head, "Feeling proud now, but that will last only a day or two..."

The girl, puzzled, asked, "Grandfather, what are you talking about? What ’one day or two days’?"

The old man, watching the nobleman’s departing back, said lightly, "That man will surely die within three days!"

"Ah?"

Surprised, the girl quickly stood up, then said, "Grandfather, shouldn’t we warn him?"

The old man waved his hand, saying, "Why warn him? Everything is preordained. Even if he dies, it’s destined. Remember, as descendants of the Yin Yang lineage, the more divine secrets we reveal, the more likely we are to suffer heavenly retributions. Countless ancestors have perished from such retributions..."

"Oh, understood."

The girl acknowledged and slowly sat back down.

It wasn’t long before another young, handsome gentleman walked out from the Ministry of Justice.

The girl saw him and exclaimed, "Grandfather, it’s that man from the other day."

The old man glanced over, recognizing the young man who was popular among the people. He subconsciously pinched his fingers to divine, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Ah..."

"Ah?"

"Ah!"

The old man stared blankly at the young gentleman, his expression as if he’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.
