Chapter 8: Volume 1, Chapter 8: Why Should the Gods Treat a Fool Kindly?

Before Yun Yarou could finish her sentence, Yun Qiyue really slapped her.

What a joke, she had never seen someone so actively asking for a beating; if she didn't hit her, wouldn't it be a waste?

"You indeed deserve a beating!" After hitting her, Yun Qiyue looked coldly at Yun Yarou, who was looking at her in disbelief. "What you said before was all correct, but if it weren't for you, how could I, a fool, have gone to the Forbidden Land?"

Naturally, the truth wasn't like that.

But, without evidence, and with her reputation as a fool, wanting to topple the "kind and gentle" Yun Yarou with just a few words was impossible.

So, she wouldn't be stupid enough to work on the "truth" at this time.

Everything Yun Yarou did to her, she would make her pay back double.

Time is long, there is plenty of time, no need to rush for this moment.

But for now, she had to collect some interest.

And the onlookers, hearing those words from Yun Qiyue, couldn't even blame Yun Qiyue for hitting Yun Yarou.

Because Yun Qiyue wasn't wrong, how could a fool go to the Forbidden Land by herself?

Besides, Yun Yarou also said before that the two were together.

It was just that, looking at Yun Yarou's pitiful appearance holding her face, some people still couldn't bear it.

However, before the flower protectors could defend Yun Yarou, Yun Qiyue slapped Yun Yarou's face again, with a "slap—" sound, and it was even louder than the previous slap.

She had to admit, she had never hit anyone in the face before, she didn't know what it tasted like, but now that she tried it, she had to admit that hitting someone like Yun Yarou felt quite good.

"Yun Qiyue, you..." Being hit repeatedly, Yun Yarou couldn't maintain her gentle and kind image, and was about to flare up.

However, Yun Qiyue didn't give Yun Yarou this opportunity, interrupting, "I hit you for your crooked heart, still trying to smear me in front of everyone at this time, just to make everyone doubt my authenticity."

"But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't tricked me into the Forbidden Land, how could I have had such an encounter today?"

Hearing the word "encounter," everyone's eyes were fixed on Yun Qiyue.

Even Yun Yarou, at this moment, forgot the humiliation and pain of being hit, and looked at Yun Qiyue, waiting for Yun Qiyue's follow-up.

She always felt that what Yun Qiyue said would be unusual.

"I entered the Forbidden Land and saw an old god. The old god saw that my life was pitiful, so he not only made me not a fool anymore, but also passed on a set of medical skills and self-defense techniques to me. So, second sister, I really thank you for letting me turn a misfortune into a blessing."

Hmph, she had already said it was a Forbidden Land that no one dared to go to, so no one could know what was in the Forbidden Land, right?

It just so happened to be an excuse for why she suddenly wasn't a fool, and by the way, expose that she knew medical skills. After all, living in this era, she still had to rely on medical skills to eat.

As for the man who knew the secret of the Forbidden Land...

Thinking of that man's eyes full of killing intent, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but shiver.

Uh, he should be awake now, right?

With such a big commotion today, would he come looking for her?

Thinking that the terrifying man might come to seek revenge on her, Yun Qiyue felt miserable inside.

Forget it, forget it, what should come will come, there was no way to be afraid now.

Anyway, it was too late for her to change her face, after all, everyone knew she had such a face. For now, she could only take one step at a time, and wait until he came to make plans.

And Chen Feng, who heard Yun Qiyue's words, instinctively looked at the carriage.

How did he not know that his master was also a god? And an old god at that?

And Yun Yarou, at this moment, could no longer maintain her previous state, her face already slightly distorted.

Why?

Why did Yun Qiyue have such good luck?

Clearly she had stabbed her once, so why could she encounter an old god?

Why should the gods treat a fool who knew nothing kindly?

At this moment, Yun Yarou believed more than anyone that the Yun Qiyue in front of her was real.

In the past, she was good to Yun Qiyue, and she could get the care of her second uncle and grandfather. The family's cultivation of her was also more than that of other sisters, and the benefits she received were also more.

Later, being good to her was just to use Yun Qiyue to gain benefits and reputation.

Having been good to a fool for so many years while enduring disgust, she naturally understood Yun Qiyue the best.

Others didn't know that there was a very small red mole on Yun Qiyue's earlobe, but she knew.

From such a close distance, she could see it clearly, the position was exactly the same, it absolutely couldn't be fake.

If she had known that Yun Qiyue would turn a misfortune into a blessing, she wouldn't have gone to such trouble to take Yun Qiyue to that cliff and solve her.

So hateful!

Especially, after such a scene by Yun Qiyue, her reputation in the future would also be affected.

Damn it!

Yun Qiyue, she really deserved to die!

Just when Yun Yarou was anxious and thinking about how to save her reputation, a sharp eunuch's voice came: what good reputation could there be?

"The Imperial Edict is here!"

Hearing the Imperial Edict, the Yun family all changed their expressions, but knelt down in fear.

And the crowd of onlookers was also shocked and knelt down one after another.

Yun Qiyue saw that the guard standing by the carriage didn't kneel, so she stood straight there.

As a Ghost Doctor from the new century, she had always been high and mighty, but she had no hobby of kneeling to people.

Of course, it was impossible not to kneel to people in this era. At least she had to give the old Emperor some face, but it wasn't the old Emperor who came.

"The eldest young lady of the General's Mansion, receive the edict!"

The eunuch who came to announce the edict walked over and saw Yun Qiyue still standing, so he couldn't help but frown.

Yun Qiyue nodded.

Hmm, she knew.

"The eldest young lady of the General's Mansion, Yun Qiyue, receive the edict." The eunuch who announced the edict saw Yun Qiyue still standing there without moving, so he couldn't help but raise his volume.

Yun Qiyue touched her ear, "I heard it."

She wasn't deaf; did he need to keep reminding her?

The eunuch who announced the edict was so angry he felt dizzy, "Since you heard it, why don't you kneel to receive the Imperial Edict?"

Yun Qiyue innocently pointed to Chen Feng standing by the carriage, "Doesn't he not kneel either?"

The eunuch who announced the edict followed Yun Qiyue's finger and looked. When he saw it was Chen Feng, his face was panicked, and he glanced at the carriage, then bowed slightly toward Chen Feng,

"Guard Chen Feng, I don't know if the Regent is in the carriage?"

Chen Feng looked coldly at the eunuch who announced the edict and didn't speak.

And Yun Qiyue only then knew Chen Feng's identity, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

Regent? Sounds like a big deal.

Seeing Chen Feng didn't respond, the eunuch who announced the edict looked at the carriage compartment carefully and didn't dare to ask more.

After many years in the deep palace, he had at least that much insight.

So he looked at Yun Qiyue again, "Why don't you kneel to receive the Imperial Edict?"

Yun Qiyue still looked at the eunuch who announced the edict innocently, "Why do you keep asking me to kneel to receive the Imperial Edict? The Emperor isn't here. Why should I kneel to you? Could it be that you want to use the Emperor's majesty to get others to kneel to you?"

Anyway, she was a fool before, so it was okay to not understand the rules, Yun Qiyue thought.

And the eunuch who announced the edict heard these words from Yun Qiyue and was so angry that his face turned blue and white.

Even if he had such small thoughts, how could he dare to admit it?

Looking at the carriage with some suspicion, the eunuch who announced the edict swallowed hard.

Forget it, forget it, he wouldn't be as knowledgeable as a fool.

Yun Qiyue's disrespectful behavior toward the Emperor, he would report it to the Emperor after he went back.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in his heart, the eunuch who announced the edict unfolded the edict and began to read:

"By the order of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: I am happy to hear that Yun Qiyue, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, has had an encounter and recovered her clarity. I am happy, and specially grant Yun Qiyue..."

The content was a lot, roughly meaning that the Emperor knew Yun Qiyue had recovered, and then granted various gifts.

Following the eunuch's words about the gifts, piles of gifts flashed before everyone's eyes and were moved into the General's Mansion.

Yun Qiyue looked at those things with a smile.

She liked gold and silver treasures, and the Emperor giving her a name saved her a lot of trouble.

Given that the old Emperor was so good, she decided that next time she saw the old Emperor, she would kneel and worship more sincerely, and would never curse him to die early while kneeling.

However, the question was, how did the old Emperor know what happened in front of the General's Mansion? Could it be that some hero had enthusiastically passed the matter here to the Emperor? And by the way, asked for this timely rain edict for her?

"Achoo!"

Just as Yun Qiyue was feeling grateful to the hero, a sneeze suddenly came from the carriage. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
