Chapter 367: Challenging The State Minister (Part 2)
At this moment, Yang Yi’s appearance had already changed. He resembled Yang Cheng in a way, but there was something different about him.
It was the same for Yang Cheng. He seemed to have become Yang Yi but in a slightly different way.
Xu Yue looked at Liu Sanniang. “What’s going on? What did you do?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Yue. “I just gave them back what was theirs.”
She gave the real Yang Yi what was his.
And she gave the real Yang Cheng what belonged to him.
This was justice.
Liu Sanniang looked at Yang Yi. “The past is irreversible. Your name will never be the same.”
Yang Yi knelt down and thanked her. “Miss, thank you for seeking justice for me. Name and identity mean nothing to me.”
He had long given up on the identity of the legitimate son. At this moment and in the future, what was important to him were his wife and daughter.
Yang Cheng, on the other hand, couldn’t accept the sudden turn of events. “No, I’m innocent. State Minister, save me. This woman knows forbidden techniques. Cloud Breaking Sect is the orthodox mystic sect. You are responsible for getting rid of evil for the people. I have been wronged. I’m innocent.”
Xu Yue looked at Yang Cheng with a dark expression. “This is a complicated case. We won’t wrong anyone. I believe the minister of war won’t close the case casually, right?”
Wu Changxian was already convinced by Liu Sanniang, but after hearing what Xu Yue said, he was put in a difficult position.
He looked at Liu Sanniang and said to Xu Yue, “Yes, it’s a complicated case. I will investigate it thoroughly.”
Xu Yue said, “Sir, please get someone to take this to the State Minister’s mansion. My senior will come when he sees the token.”
Xu Yue took out the compass and handed it to Wu Changxian.
Yi Zilan took the compass with a solemn expression and said, “Sir, I’ll go.”
With that, he turned around and left.
He had seen how unwilling Xu Yue was to admit he was wrong. If he did not convince Xu Yue completely today, it would only further complicate things once the emperor was informed of the case.
Therefore, Yi Zilan quickly went to the State Minister’s mansion and invited Xu Bo over.
In the torture room of the Ministry of War.
Xu Yue’s expression was cold.
Liu Sanniang was deep in thought. Mystic sects were clearly declining. Even the orthodox sect, Cloud Breaking Sect, was ossified and did nothing to stop the evil source from spreading.
Liu Sanniang walked up to Xu Yue. He frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang warily, in case she attacked. When psychics fought, they didn’t need to resort to violence, but it could still be fatal.
Liu Sanniang said, “Xu Yue, can you see the evil source wreaking havoc in the world?”
Xu Yue said with a snort, “It’s normal for people to be greedy and do evil, but evil will be punished by the heavens.”
As if sensing Liu Sanniang’s disdain, Xu Yue was a little angry. He looked at Liu Sanniang with hostility. “Since ancient times, my Cloud Breaking Sect has killed countless demons and devils to protect the order. This is not something you will understand.”
Liu Sanniang smiled faintly. “Yes, since ancient times, but is the Cloud Breaking Sect still walking the righteous path?”
Xu Yue’s face darkened. “What do you mean?”
Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Yue. “You don’t believe in forbidden techniques because you haven’t experienced it yourself.”
“When you experience it yourself, will you still say that?”
Xu Yue’s facial expression took a drastic turn. For a second, he could not speak and felt his vision go dark, and then gradually, he could see light again. He frowned. Liu Sanniang was still standing a short distance from him. He did not know what Liu Sanniang had done.
Just as Xu Yue was about to ask, footsteps were heard.
Yi Zilan returned with Xu Bo.
Xu Bo nodded at Wu Changxian. “Minister.”
Wu Changxian nodded with a smile.
Xu Bo looked at Xu Yue and walked over. “Junior, what’s going on?”
Xu Yue lowered his eyes to look at himself. “This… this is complicated.”
Yang Cheng was in absolute shock to find that he had actually become Xu Yue, and Xu Bo, the respected senior State Minister, was his senior. Yang Cheng was wild with joy. If he became Xu Yue, it meant that he would not have to die.
At this moment, Xu Yue’s face was twitching uncontrollably. He walked towards Xu Bo and realized that something was different. He looked at his hand in disbelief like he was struck by lightning. He grabbed Xu Bo’s sleeve and said with a trembling voice, “Senior, I’m Xu Yue.”
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and old.
Xu Yue panicked. He shot Liu Sanniang an angry look and leaped over. “Liu Sanniang, what did you do to me? What forbidden technique did you use to make me exchange bodies with Yang Cheng?”
Xu Yue looked at Yang Cheng angrily. At the thought that his body was now occupied by someone else, he flew into a rage. “Get out of my body.”
Yang Cheng’s expression was indifferent as he said coldly, “It seems that it was stupid of me speaking up for you just now.”
He imitated Xu Yue’s way of speaking and mannerism. For a moment, everyone was stunned and could not tell what was going on.
Xu Yue was so angry that his mind went blank. He looked at Xu Bo with fear written all across his face. “Senior, save me. I’m the one who has cultivated with you.”
Yang Cheng also grabbed Xu Bo. “Senior, this person is vicious. He’s Yang Yi, the one who embezzled government funds and is sentenced to execution. He just wants to get away with it.”
Xu Bo shook off Xu Yue. The man staggered and fell to the ground. He was filled with panic. He didn’t dare to imagine what would happen to him if no one could recognize him.
He would be executed.
Xu Yue looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, is this the forbidden technique you talked about? Now that I know it exists, please stop it.”
Xu Bo frowned.
Liu Sanniang looked at Xu Bo. “Master Xu Bo. Xu Yue and Yang Cheng’s bodies are swapped. Can you still recognize him?”
Yang Cheng sneered. “Forbidden mystic technique is not something you are capable of performing. Don’t try to sow discord between me and my senior.”
Xu Bo frowned. His junior was clearly beside him. How could he fail to recognize him?
Xu Yue tried his best to fight back the panic in his heart and said with difficulty, “Senior, I’m Xu Yue. We’ve been in the sect for more than four decades. I know very well how many injuries you’ve suffered. Yang Cheng, you took over my body, but you can’t take away my memory.”
Yang Cheng panicked. He indeed did not have any of Xu Yue’s memories. He looked at Liu Sanniang fiercely. He felt that he had been played. At the end of the day, swapping bodies with Xu Yue was just a trick by Liu Sanniang to make Xu Yue learn a lesson.
