Chapter 688

In the end, my master was framed and expelled, banished to the Zhu Ming Xianzhou.

I too was implicated and forced to leave Luo Fu.

The one who presided over the arbitration and approved the banishment order at that time was General Jing Yuan himself.

Yanqing: "Huh? How could that be?!"

March 7th: "Yeah, how could it be General Jing Yuan?"

March 7th: "Could Miss Lingsha have made a mistake?"

Lingsha: "Hehe, I would never lightly slander General Jing Yuan."

Lingsha: "Whether it's true or false, the General himself knows."

Stelle: "So, General, did you really do this?"

Stelle: "Could you have finally gone senile?"

Stelle: "This doesn't match my understanding of you at all!"

Dan Heng: "Perhaps there's some hidden truth behind this?"

Jing Yuan: "Ha, I can tell Miss Lingsha holds some resentment toward me."

Jing Yuan: "Yes, thirty years ago, it was indeed my written order that banished your master."

Lingsha: "Then, General, may I boldly ask—why did you do this?"

Lingsha: "You knew my master was innocent, yet you still did it."

Funa: "Um… could it be that, because of this grudge, Miss Lingsha has come now to seek revenge?"

Marani: "Eh… I think it's possible…"

Marani: "But somehow, it feels like there's a deep misunderstanding here."

Jing Yuan: "Regarding this matter, there truly is a hidden truth."

Jing Yuan: "And it involves other things as well."

Jing Yuan: "All I can say is, Miss Lingsha, there may be things your master never fully revealed to you."

Lingsha: "Hm? What do you mean by that, General?"

Jing Yuan: "Here's what I'll do—when you truly come to Luo Fu to take up your post, visit me at the General's Residence."

Jing Yuan: "Then, I will answer all the questions you've carried for so long."

Lingsha: "That would be acceptable. Thank you, General."

Stelle: "General, why are you being so mysterious?"

Stelle: "Can't you just say it now?"

March 7th: "I get it—this must involve some Luofu Xianzhou secrets!"

Ying: "Mm, if that's the case, then yes, it really shouldn't be spoken of lightly."

Ying: "Still, I'm kind of curious…"

Silver Wolf: "No rush—if the General doesn't plan to say it live."

Silver Wolf: "Maybe we'll see this moment in the video later?"

The video continues.

W-what?

After hearing Lingsha's words,

Yanqing was utterly stunned.

You didn't mishear.

The situation in the Dan Ding Office has deteriorated to this point; besides the Yaowang rebels, the Divine Strategy General must also bear responsibility.

Oh my, why has Master Yanqing turned so pale?

Rest easy—I understand that when one holds a position, one is bound by duty; I harbor no resentment toward the General.

After all, for adults of our age, personal grudges have become a luxury.

Stelle: "Look at the child, terrified."

Stelle: "His face is white!"

March 7th: "This proves how close Yanqing is to the General!"

Lingsha: "Oh dear, sorry sorry—I didn't mean to scare you."

Hu Tao: "Adults of our age?"

Hu Tao: "I'm curious how old Miss Lingsha actually is."

Xiangling: "Hu Tao, asking a girl her age is very impolite!"

Marani: "Miss Lingsha just mentioned thirty years ago."

Marani: "So she's at least forty or fifty, right?"

Stelle: "Looking at Miss Lingsha's old-fashioned demeanor, she's at least sixty or seventy!"

Kachina: "Sixty or seventy?!"

Kachina: "She could be my grandmother!"

Funa: "But for immortals, you can't count like that, right?"

Funa: "For immortals, one or two hundred years might still be considered young?"

Lingsha: "Hahaha, I didn't expect everyone to be so curious about my age."

Lingsha: "But I can only say that compared to the General, I am indeed young."

Fu Xuan: "Correct—the General is nearly an ancient relic."

Jing Yuan: "Ancient relic?"

General Jing Yuan: "Not at all, not at all. I still feel quite young myself."

Stelle: "Old in years but not at heart, huh?"

March 7th: "But she doesn't even look old, does she?"

March 7th: "This brings us to General Huaiyan."

March 7th: "Just how old is the old gentleman, to have aged like this?"

The video continued.

【Miss Lingsha, you're finally back! I've been waiting forever!】

In the lull while everyone was talking,

a loud, boisterous voice suddenly rang out.

Then, everyone saw Miss Yunli walk over at some unknown point.

【Yunli, why aren't you staying by your grandfather's side, and instead wandering around the Alchemy Commission?】

【Perfect timing — while we're at it, let me introduce you. This Lord Yanqing is...】

March 7th: "Oh no, Miss Lingsha, please don't introduce them!"

March 7th: "If those two meet here, and neither General Jing Yuan nor General Huaiyan is around, they're going to go at it for real!"

Stelle: "Don't panic!"

Stelle: "I'm here!"

Stelle: "I'll be right there clapping and cheering them on!!"

March 7th: "Eh??"

March 7th: "What do you mean, clapping and cheering them on, hey!"

Silver Wolf: "They're young — having some fire in them is normal."

Silver Wolf: "A good fight wouldn't be bad either."

Firefly: "But... what if they get really heated and lose control?"

Firefly: "Then someone might actually get hurt."

Boothill: "Hahaha, what a coincidence, ain't that somethin'?"

Boothill: "Isn't this place right next door the Alchemy Commission for treatment?"

Furina: "I don't think those two would necessarily fight, would they?"

Furina: "Isn't Miss Lingsha right here?"

Furina: "She should be able to handle them, right?"

Miss Lingsha: "Much to my regret, my martial prowess is meager, and I don't believe I possess such ability..."

The video continued.
