Jing Ming thought about it and felt that it made sense. The chosen one was extremely rare. It was more likely tha she probably didn’t want to tell them about her master.

As a cultivator, one naturally had some secret that one didn’t want to share.

Jing Chen looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss, if you cause trouble with your power, the Xuan Sect will punish you!”

Jing Chen’s expression was serious and his tone was stern.

Liu Sanniang looked at him and said calmly, “You too.”

After Liu Sanniang finished speaking, she did not want to talk to Jing Chen and Jing Ming anymore.

She turned around and left. Jing Chen frowned and Jing Ming was a little angry. “What a rude girl!”

Zhu Zongyang was also a little surprised. Liu Sanniang looked gentle and weak, but also seemed to have a temper.

Zhu Zongyang smiled. “Masters…”

Before Zhu Zongyang could finish, Jing Chen spoke first. “We didn’t do anything, so we naturally won’t accept any reward. You don’t have to worry about it.”

After saying so, Jing Chen and Jing Ming walked away.

It was obvious that Zhu Zongyang did not want to pay any money.

Seeing the two of them leave, Zhu Zongyang heaved a long sigh of relief.

He really did not expect that Liu Sanniang would solve something that the orthodox sect could not. No matter how he thought about it, he still found it unbelievable.

The missing children case was finally over.

On the third day, Liu Sanniang received the news that Hong Ying’s crime was too serious, and Wei Shilai couldn’t decide what to do. The case was written and submitted to the capital. A serious criminal like Hong Ying had to be punished by the emperor himself.

On this day, Officer Zhou came to look for Liu Sanniang.

Madam Wei’s expression was very cold. She wanted to chase him out, but Officer Zhou immediately knelt in front of the Liu family’s door. Madam Wei was worried that he would alert the neighbors, so she let Officer Zhou in.

Officer Zhou knelt down to Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please save my daughter.”

His daughter had just been found, and he was about to lose her again. Officer Zhou could not bear it, nor could he accept this reality.

However, the crime was too serious. It was impossible for Hong Ying to get away with it.

Liu Sanniang looked away. In just a few days, more than half of Officer Zhou’s hair had turned white. Liu Sanniang sighed. “Uncle Zhou, I can’t help you. Please, sit down first.”

Liu Sanniang helped Officer Zhou up and sat down. She chanted the sutra to dissipate the black aura on Officer Zhou’s body, and it gradually disappeared.

Liu Sanniang said, “Do more good deeds.”

Officer Zhou asked her nervously. “Will Mingzhu be tortured?”

Serious criminals would normally be tortured before they were executred.

Officer Zhou was very disconcerted. If he didn’t lose his daughter, she wouldn’t have become such a wicked person.

Liu Sanniang responded gently. “Uncle Zhou, the only thing she can do is admit her mistake and make amends. I don’t know anything else.”

Hong Ying should know a lot. The more she confessed, the less sinful she would be.

Officer Zhou left the Liu family in a daze.

He was a sensible person. Even if he couldn’t figure it out at this moment, he would eventually understand.

As for Hong Ying, she confessed everything under Wei Shilai’s interrogation. She was actually not someone with a high status in her organization. She only knew that she was raised by her master, but she never knew who her master was.

She started cultivating because her master would give them a black pill. After eating it, they could cultivate. She was talented, so her ability had always been impressive.

Most importantly, ordinary cultivators could not break their ability unless they were more powerful than them.

Her mission was to look for young girls everywhere. After the mission was successful, she would hand the girls over to the guards. The guards were dressed in black and were masked every time.

Up until now, Hong Ying had succeeded more than ten times, handing in dozens of young girls. It was only this time that she failed.

Wei Shilai was terrified. If not for Liu Sanniang, he probably wouldn’t have been able to catch Hong Ying this time.

Each mission was for two months. When the two months were up, they had to go back and collect the pills to maintain their psychic power.

When they grew up, they would eat poison. The poison would stay in their stomach. When they were caught, they could use their power to activate the poison and die without any pain.

Some people were timid, so their master told them to not worry. They were psychics and were not subject to karma. However, Hong Ying now knew it was a lie.

Wei Shilai pondered for a while. “If you don’t take the pill, will your psychic power disappear?”

Hong Ying thought for a moment. “I don’t know. I’ve been eating it since I was young. I don’t know what will happen if I stop.”

But after a month, she would find out.

Wei Shilai looked at Hong Ying. “I’ll be transferring you to the capital in a few days. Say goodbye to your father.”

Hong Ying was certain to be executed. Officer Zhou had been looking for his daughter for many years but ended up losing his daughter right after her found her. The entire government office sympathized with him.

Wei Shilai asked Officer Zhou to guard the cell for the next few days so that the father and daughter could say goodbye.

Hong Ying was a little moved. “Has my father always been looking for me?”

She had been trained very cruelly and had long forgotten that her name was Zhou Mingzhu. Every time the pain became too great for her to handle, she would yearn for her parents to save her.

Wei Shilai looked at Hong Ying and nodded. “He never gave up on you.”

Hong Ying smiled. “Thank you, sir.”

Wei Shilai stood up and left.

Officer Zhou cherished these few days very much. He bought food and wine to eat with Hong Ying, but as he ate, he started crying.

In a few days, someone from the capital came to escort Hong Ying.

When they parted, Hong Ying knelt on the ground and did not speak. She kowtowed three times before being escorted away.

Officer Zhou watched until he could no longer see his daughter.

The news of Hong Ying’s death came a month later. The news was that the cause of her death was unknown. Wei Shilai frowned and wrote on the case report that Hong Ying died because she couldn’t take the black pill on time.

Ever since Officer Zhou came to the Liu family last time, Madam Wei did not allow Liu Sanniang to go out. She listened to her mother and stayed at home to embroider shoes for the family. She was also going to make clothes for the family and embroider elegant pear blossoms on the green-faced fabric. It would definitely look good on her mother.

Even if she didn’t go out, she wouldn’t be bored at all. She was young now, and her hands were deft. She would try to make as many things as possible.
