Chapter Twenty-Six: A Woman's Revenge, Ten Years Is It Too Late?
There are really not many people in the Thousand Spirits Realm who hold tokens, counting Lin Yu's just a hundred people, it is the number of tokens distributed by Cao Mingde.
Many people saw the mission, but ignored it, because the East China Sea is vast, there are many fairy islands, and they have heard the name if they are closer, if they are far away, who knows where Qianling Island is? I've never even heard of a name, let alone a mission.
If you are a person who has advanced cultivation and has traveled to the East China Sea, or who has seen a lot, you may know Qianling Island. However, Cao Mingde's mission requires teenagers with good qualifications, and the teenagers alone have already made few people with extensive knowledge and advanced cultivation among the token holders.
Unless it is relatively close, such as two thousand miles away from Qianling Island, someone on Gale Island.
Wild grass grows in a small courtyard somewhere on the island, and if it weren't for the busy crowd at this time, this small courtyard would have been abandoned. In fact, the courtyard was indeed deserted in the first place, but it has only recently ushered in a new owner.
Everyone in the small courtyard is dressed in filial piety clothes, busy coming and going, some people fetch water and laundry, some people make a fire to cook, some people weed and level the soil, only in the house that has been cleaned up, there is a person who is idle and tastes tea.
This person has a graceful posture, indifferent eyebrows and eyes, and should be a cold beauty, but the thin lips that she pursed add a little meanness to her.
"Baochan, tell them that if they can't finish cleaning today, they will sleep outside for me." The mean beauty called a young girl who was busy cleaning up the bed.
The girl should be, so she passed on the words, causing a commotion, but the mean beauty was indifferent, still watching quietly, as if this would make her feel better.
The weeding people in the yard are more dissatisfied, the weather is not hot, but weeding is undoubtedly the most tiring, because weeding requires bending over, or squatting, plus mosquito bites in the grass, and mean requirements, weeding girls whispered.
That's right, weeding are all young girls in their youth, and even more than weeding, everyone in the small courtyard is a woman, except for a few middle-aged women who are cooking on the fire, everyone else is in the flowering season.
"Hmph, what's the use of tossing us, it's useless to yourself, but you sprinkle your resentment on us."
"That is, if it weren't for her empty stomach, her refusal to give birth to a child, and the refusal to let us give birth, how could we have ended up like this after Fenglang was killed."
The rest of the people also whispered and responded, full of resentment, but as they spoke, the topic was crooked, and they talked about the others.
"Tsk, we're better, look at that Feng Yan, Feng Lang loved her the most, maybe how to be tossed by Yun Jiang's woman?"
"Hey, you see, the place given to her is about the same as what we put together, and she's going to have a hard time."
The tone seemed to be sympathetic, but there was a hint of schadenfreude.
Yun Jiang is the mean beauty sitting in the house, and Feng Yan is a girl who is a little farther away from a few people, and as for Feng Lang, it is Feng Qionghua.
Feng Qionghua was the great-great-grandson of the island owner before his death, although there are many descendants of the island owner, he is one of the most qualified people, and he has attracted much attention, even if his parents are ordinary, he also relies on the resources of the clan to live a nourishing life, because the rules of the Feng family are like this, and those with high qualifications have everything.
Therefore, he lives in a garden mansion, travels in a fragrant car and BMW, and has a group of wives and concubines at home, and as long as his qualifications are still the same, and his cultivation is still fast, he can enjoy everything.
But life is impermanent, and he died. Death is the end, it is a hundred, everything is empty. If Feng Qionghua has children, the child's qualifications can be as good as his, and it can be better, but there are no children. So the original mansion was reclaimed, the chariots and horses were divided, and only a group of wives and concubines were left alive.
The wives and concubines had no place to live, and as for Feng Qionghua's parents, because no one gave birth to a child for Feng Qionghua, they were too lazy to care about them, so they could only pack up their manners, find an uninhabited abandoned courtyard in the clan, and move over.
When the man dies, it stands to reason that the wife may or may not be widowed, and most of the concubines will be dispersed. However, the Feng family is the biggest, her husband died, but Yun Jiang, as a wife, can't and doesn't dare to remarry, if she doesn't remarry, she will let those concubines follow her, and no one can think about it.
Therefore, in addition to the personal Baochan, a few cooks, servants and other maids were dispersed, and the concubines who were originally loved by Feng Qionghua were called by Yun Jiang as maids.
When Feng Qionghua was alive, the concubine he didn't like was sent by Yun Jiang to do some light things and clean up; Those who like it are supported to do hard work, laundry and water; And the most favored people were sent to remove grass and flat soil.
And Feng Yan is the one that Yun Jiang hates the most, Yun Jiang hates her most favored but doesn't care, hates that she is called beautiful like a phoenix by Feng Qionghua, hates that she doesn't respect herself as a hostess, and hates everything about her.
Therefore, Feng Yan not only has to do the hardest weeding work, but also has to do the most part. Yun Jiang didn't believe it, under the wind and sun, how could she still have a beautiful appearance like a flower, and how could she keep the appearance of not caring.
Although the small courtyard is called a small courtyard, it is not too small, and there are still dozens of houses, but most of them are dilapidated and relatively remote, so they are uninhabited. It is precisely because of the remoteness and the small number of households that the small courtyard is roughly calculated, and there are still hundreds of square meters, and Feng Yan has to clean up half of the weeds in the small courtyard alone.
Feng Yan squatted in the grass, because there were no weeding tools, her white and tender palms were already full of dirt, if you washed away the soil, you could definitely see the red and swollen palms, as well as the scratched scars.
But she was still expressionless, with a picturesque face, like a dream goddess carved in jade. And the swollen and sore hands, the legs that have been squatting for a long time, seem to have nothing to do with her.
She thought she was different, she knew Yun Jiang's jealousy and hatred for her, and she also heard the voices of other people gloating, but these did not leave a trace in her heart, maybe she didn't care about everything here, and she didn't have nostalgia.
Originally, she was not even called Feng Yan, but Li Qingxia, and she was not from Gale Island, but was snatched by Feng Qionghua when she was playing.
Since she knew that Feng Qionghua's power in Gale Island and no one could save her, she felt that she was not worthy of the word Qingxia, so she cooperated with Feng Qionghua's words to praise her and changed her name to Feng Yan, staying quietly in the Feng family, as if she had forgotten her origin.
Then, slowly, silently, he prepared a medicine that could poison the cultivator, and waited for the opportunity.
What time to wait? Naturally, it was the time for the Lord of Gale Island to retreat, and there was no time for advanced cultivators to take care of the juniors.
She had heard a lot of rumors about the owner of the island, and she was very discerning and discerning. I have also heard the story of the island's predecessors who were powerful and destroyed the island.
Maybe the island owner won't always pay attention to the whole island, maybe the earth immortal seniors won't pay too much attention to a talented Qi Cultivation Realm junior, but she doesn't want to be exposed, she doesn't want to die, she still has an agreement she wants to fulfill, and there is someone she wants to meet.
So she waited day and night, spring to autumn one by one, and finally heard Feng Qionghua say that the island master and the earth immortal seniors were going to retreat to refine treasures, and she knew that the time was coming.
However, maybe the good people are not rewarded, and the bad ones live a long life, and when the time was about to come, Feng Qionghua suddenly came back in a hurry with suppressed joy one day, and almost tossed her excitedly all night, saying that she was going to retreat and cultivate.
Li Qingxia knew that it was bad, there must be something happening that she didn't know, once Feng Qionghua retreated, she wouldn't be able to contact him for a short time.
She hesitated for a day and decided to make a move. Then she was quietly poisoned, and after Feng Qionghua died, she found the reason why Feng Qionghua was excited, and the token with the words engraved on one side.
'What is the token?' Li Qingxia didn't know, but she quietly hid it, smeared the poison on a jade pendant, and claimed that Feng Qionghua had been killed by a person who gave him a jade pendant.
Maybe it's the road of endless heaven, the earth immortals are busy refining treasures, and the island owner doesn't care about a great-great-grandson, only a few human immortals came to investigate, and went to find the person who contacted Feng Qionghua and sent him things. And she was punished and let go.
Then everyone moved to the small courtyard, Li Qingxia was still expressionless, not happy, not sad, not desperate when she was tossed, and not disappointed when she was gloating, she just waited silently for the next opportunity, no one paid attention, and the time to leave Gale Island.
Suddenly, Li Qingxia felt a shock in her arms, it seemed to be a token? She remained silent, still pulling the weeds.
That night, only Li Qingxia did not finish her own thing, and was thrown a steamed bun for dinner, rushed outside the house, accompanied by weeds.
Leaving the gloating eyes of others behind, Li Qingxia gathered some weeds and spread them in the open space a little away from the house, ignoring whether the weeds were too wet, lying on her side in her clothes, waiting until there was no movement in the house, and quietly took out the token.
After some quiet groping and understanding the meaning of the token, Li Qingxia silently calmed down her turbulent mood and was in a daze, her life seemed to have new hope, she meditated.
Then her gaze turned to the 'Honrealm Mission', where there was a quest that allowed her to discover the movement of the token during the day, and thus find the secret of the token.
Mission: A group of Emissaries from Gale Island are stranded on a girl's hometown of Thousand Spirits, which makes the girl worried and hopes that someone can investigate the reason for the stay.
Difficulty: Two stars
Rewards: 2 Zhu Guo
Li Qingxia looked at the task and had an idea.
