Chapter 1193 - 941: Closing the Net 2 - Suisui Buried Alive Source 3
The National Master sneered, "Unexpectedly, I, the National Master, ended up making a wedding dress for you."An elder of the Li Family first nodded, then shook his head.
"You only got it half right. In fact, your information only allowed me to ascertain that the child was in the south. However, the south is vast, and Li is a common surname. I couldn’t immediately find the target.
At that moment, I suddenly had an idea. Since it coincided with the national examination, with examinees gathering in the Capital City from across the country, why not use them to my advantage?"
Ji Youyuan laughed, "And so that foolish boy, Li Yu, fell into the trap."
Thinking about the current state of the Li Family, he didn’t kick someone when they were down, but he certainly didn’t feel any sympathy!
It was just Li Yu, that poor scholar, being used by others and implicated by the Li Family. By now, he probably regrets it so much that his intestines are turning green!
"Exactly, it was that boy Li Yu. Upon hearing the news I spread through great publicity, he told the students that his family had two children. At their birth, auspicious omens descended from the heavens, and it was on the day known as ’Dragon Raising its Head.’ Once I received this information, I immediately had the family connect with him to inquire about the details."
"What results did you get from your inquiry?"
Princess Ata pressed for answers.
The elder of the Li Family gave a bitter smile.
"Two heavenly children, this is absolutely impossible. Unless it’s a facade with one being a cover or a coincidence that both were born on the same day."
Upon hearing this, everyone frowned at first but then agreed with his reasoning.
"So how did you determine that the heavenly child was my Suisui and not Li Yanyan?"
Ji Youyuan’s voice was calm, showing no sign of anger. However, those familiar with his temperament knew that the calmer Sect Leader Ji appeared, the angrier he was inside.
"I said before, the Li Family has no one with significant merit, let alone any saintly figure across generations."
"That’s hard to say; merit isn’t necessarily gathered by the family but can also come from the accumulated good deeds of an individual’s past and present lives."
The National Master corrected lightly.
The elder of the Li Family nodded.
"Correct, that’s exactly what I thought, so I focused on the parents of these two children.
The inquiry revealed that Li Suisui’s parents died shortly after her birth.
While Li Yanyan’s parents, one was greedy and mean, the other opportunistic and small-minded. Such parents could never nurture a heavenly child under the Celestial Dao."
Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but touch her little nose upon hearing this.
This description was quite fitting.
"Just based on this? You can conclude that my Suisui is the heavenly child?"
Children can’t choose their parents!
Ji Youyuan was already planning to kill someone.
"Sure, isn’t that enough?
Her parents both died: one fulfilled their mission by safely bringing her into the world and thus completed their task, no longer supposed to exist. A heavenly child requires trials to grow."
"This is all nonsense, I’ve never heard such heresy!"
Princess Lianchun was infuriated, yelling out.
Xiaosuisui remained silent.
"Don’t be skeptical, Princess. Li Suisui’s parents, one achieved perfect merit by giving birth to her and will surely be reborn into a wealthy family in their next life.
While her father sacrificed his life for the country; his place in the afterlife must not be simple either!"
"You... you speak alone; who would believe your words?"
The National Master said, "Though I don’t fully agree with him, there’s indeed such a possibility!"
Princess Lianchun looked up at Xiaosuisui, who appeared deep in thought.
After a while, Xiaosuisui said, "Actually, if I want to know about my mother and father, I could just visit the Underworld and ask the Judge. So what you say, I can choose to believe, or not!"
Princess Lianchun: "..." How did she forget about this?
Elder of the Li Family: "..." Indeed, a child of the Celestial Dao, having grown to this level already.
"Keep speaking! How on earth did you lead the old hypocrite of the Li Family to treat my family’s Suisui that way?"
Ji Youzhi’s anger was now apparent.
"I personally went to the southwest, established a Three Talents Temple there, and played a priest. I quietly orchestrated for the old madam Li and her daughter-in-law to be led there and inquire about the children’s parents.
After inquiring, I deduced that with such a family background, neither the ancestors nor the Li couple could have been that saintly figure across generations.
So, I guessed the saintly figure might come from the mother’s side of the family.
I then clarified the maternal families of the two children. I didn’t yet know that Li Suisui’s extended family was the Ji Family, but I did figure out about Li Yanyan’s maternal family."
