Chapter 1876 The Art of Deception

“Master, the judge just told me that he happened to find out something yesterday,” Sheng San Niangzi said to Lu Zhaoling. “He said that Duan Lang is not dead yet.”

Yin Yunting also came up, right here in Huaiyuan.

Lu Zhaoling looked at him in surprise, her eyes questioning.

Yin Yunting nodded.

"I discovered it by chance. He is indeed not dead yet. He has a very long lifespan and still has seven years to live."

Seven years?

Lu Zhaoling walked over, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Why did you explain things to Grandma Sheng in such detail?"

No wonder Granny Sheng hadn't thought about going to find her Duan Lang for so long, but now she's suddenly in such a hurry to go again.

It turns out they even knew how many years the other person had left to live.

Is Granny Sheng perhaps thinking of spending the last few years of his life with him before he died?

What a devoted old woman!

"Do you think this is what I wanted to say?" Yin Yunting said helplessly. "Grandma has gotten smarter now. She bribed two ghost messengers in my temple. I wasn't on guard against them when I was looking at the Book of Fate."

This is still an internal traitor.

However, because Yin Yunting hadn't thought of this, he didn't tell the two ghost messengers not to tell anyone.

They assumed that Madam Sheng was entirely under Lu Zhaoling's control, and since she was already a ghost messenger in the underworld, she was considered one of their own ghosts. Therefore, the two ghost messengers did not feel that they could not tell her.

Madam Sheng didn't say what her relationship with that Duan Lang was, she just told them to keep an eye out for his name.

“Grandma is quite something now.” Lu Zhaoling hadn’t expected this. She raised an eyebrow at Sheng San Niangzi. “But she’s in her seventies or eighties now, and she might have lost all her teeth. Are you sure you really want to go find her?”

Why not leave a little room for imagination?

If she doesn't see him, then in her memory he will still be the handsome young man she remembers.

Grandma Sheng looked at Lu Zhaoling and said with some pride, "Master, your feelings are not noble. How can you stop liking someone just because they get old? Duan Lang and I started out because of each other's character, not because he was good-looking."

"Master, if the prince gets old and loses all his teeth, will you then separate from him?"

Zhou Shiyue raised an eyebrow, looked at Lu Zhaoling, and tilted his head slightly to ask her, "Yes, Master Lu, is that what you think? Are you judging by looks?"

Madam Sheng has really improved; she even started criticizing and lecturing Lu Xiao'er.

Zhou Shiyue found it somewhat amusing.

But before Lu Zhaoling could answer, he said to Sheng San Niangzi, "However, I actually already knew about this issue. Your master told me long ago that she is a superficial person."

"Really?" Madam Sheng's eyes widened. "Then aren't you worried, Your Highness?"

"What are you worried about? I will always be this handsome. Even when I get old, I will still be a handsome old man. Your Duan Lang is a different story."

Zhou Shiyue said, "So what your master said wasn't wrong. You'd better think it over carefully. Do you really want to go see him?"

Madam Sheng snorted, "Why does Your Highness look down on people? Duan Lang is old, he shouldn't be ugly."

“If you want to go, you’ll have to wait until the situation in the capital stabilizes,” Lu Zhaoling said helplessly. “Grandma, we need you right now. You’re a very capable general. Your Duan Lang has seven more years to live, so there’s no rush. Can you really bear to let us run around here? We can’t do without you.”

Madam Sheng was taken aback.

"Really? I'm very important to you?"

Lu Zhaoling nodded vigorously, "You're not only important to us, His Highness the Crown Prince needs you too, and the people of the entire capital who are longing for peace need you too! Just think, you saved so many people when the West Gate collapsed!"

"If there isn't a very capable general to help stabilize the situation during this struggle for the throne and provide crucial assistance at critical moments, who knows how chaotic it would become?"

"If chaos breaks out in the capital, we few people will be overwhelmed. We might help one side but neglect another. The country will be in turmoil, and the people will suffer from the ravages of war. What will we do then? If you were here, it would be different. You could single-handedly take on a hundred enemies."

As Lu Zhaoling finished speaking, she placed her fists under her chin, blinked at Sheng San Niangzi, and looked very earnest.

"Of course, I know that forcing you like this is going too far..."

No one spoke for the moment, just watching Lu Zhaoling start her persuasive tactics on Sheng San Niangzi again.

Seeing that Lu Zhaoling's expression had fallen, Madam Sheng couldn't bear it and quickly interrupted her.

"No, no, no, that's not excessive, Master. You have a clear understanding of my abilities and want to rely on me, which is only natural!"

Everyone: Alright, there's really no other result. Madam Sheng is still as easy to fool as ever.

Yin Changxing shook his head helplessly.

However, he also knew that Lu Zhaoling wasn't letting Sheng San Niangzi go to Nanzhao because she didn't know much about it yet. Sheng San Niangzi was so naive; if she went and got fooled by that Duan Lang, with her cultivation level, she might cause some trouble there, which would be a real problem.

With her cultivation level, if she were to cause a major incident, she could easily end up going in the opposite direction from their number one Xuanmen sect.

So, will they take her in or not?

Therefore, Sheng San Niang still needs to improve.

“Yes, I’ve gotten so used to relying on you. In this situation, I really get panicked if you’re not around.” Lu Zhaoling sighed heavily. “Grandma, am I being a little selfish? It’s not right to keep you tied down like this…”

Madam Sheng felt somewhat guilty, "Master, you did it for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and its people, not out of selfishness."

"really?"

"Really."

"Forget it, you've been looking forward to seeing your Duan Lang for a long time already. You should go to Nanzhao. I can't force you too much," Lu Zhaoling said.

“This is not forced, not forced! I am staying voluntarily, and I will go to Nanzhao after the Crown Prince ascends the throne!” Madam Sheng said quickly, very firmly, “It’s not that you’re forcing me, I’m willing.”

Lu Zhaoling looked at her with shining eyes, "Grandma, you are so beautiful and kind-hearted! You are my favorite woman!"

Zhou Shiyue shook his head.

That's enough, he can't stand it anymore.

But Granny Sheng was beaming with joy.

“Now that our First Xuanmen is going to rebuild, shouldn’t your Sheng family also do something? This is a great opportunity for your new Sheng family to seize a place in the capital,” Lu Zhaoling said again.

As expected, she completely drew the attention of Madam Sheng.

"Then what can we do? Master, please give your instructions, and I will tell Xiaohan and the others!" Madam Sheng clenched her fist excitedly.
