Li Mojun had never killed anyone since she was young. However, this didn't mean that she was a weak girl who would meekly submit to adversity.
The marriage between the Xue and Li families was an extremely rare and joyous event for most of the Li family. They all hoped to use this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Xue family and allow the Li family to prosper and reap more benefits for themselves.
Even her grandfather, Li Xuan, and father, Li Mingzhen, thought the same.
However, the only one who truly cared about whether she was willing or not was her younger brother Li Mohan.
These few days, Li Mojun had also carefully investigated Xue Yanqing's character. However, the more she knew, the colder her heart became.
The Xue family was located in Xueyang City, which was only two hundred li away from the Imperial Sky City. Xue Yanqing also frequently mingled in the imperial capital. She only needed to inquire a little to roughly know what his character was like.
When Xue Yanqing was thirteen years old, he had once committed a heinous crime with a group of hedonistic sons in the imperial capital academy.
At that time, Xue Yanqing included five hedonistic sons of the imperial capital. They worked together to build a secret underground palace that was specially used to detain and molest the most beautiful female students in the imperial capital academy. They didn't even let off a few beautiful female teachers. In just a short year, more than six hundred girls met with misfortune.
All the girls who were molested by them eventually died tragically and their corpses were thrown into the moat.
The imperial capital academy was an academy for the aristocrats. Those who could enter were either wealthy or respectable. These girls were all aristocratic young ladies. However, due to the powerful background of the five hedonistic sons, the families of the victims didn't dare to speak up.
In the end, because the five of them went overboard and actually killed a princess of the imperial family, they were finally punished by the imperial court.
However, the so-called punishment was only to expel the five of them from the academy and order them to be grounded at home for three months.
Xue Yanqing was thirty-two years old this year and had married four wives. However, after these four wives married into the Xue family, none of them lived past a year.
Some died suddenly, while others couldn't bear the humiliation and took their own lives. As for those nameless concubines, maids, and the like, there were even more who had died tragically.
In addition, Xue Yanqing was a violent and bloodthirsty person. He often used living people to practice his martial arts. Even in Yuzhou, where the Emperor ruled, no less than a thousand people had died at his hands.
In the eyes of the elders like Li Xuan and Li Mingzhen, such a notorious and heartless scoundrel was merely an outstanding talent with a little bit of evil.
Thinking about it, it made sense. In the eyes of those so-called big shots, playing a few women to death was indeed not a great evil.
However, Li Mojun could not bear it.
She had thought of resisting, but she also knew that she was too weak to change the general trend of the marriage between the two families.
Although she didn't think highly of Lin Xuan, since Lin Xuan dared to speak, it gave her some hope.
Therefore, in the face of Lin Xuan's suggestion, she only hesitated slightly before agreeing.
"What do you want to do?" Li Mojun transmitted her voice to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan smiled faintly. "I know an expert. It won't be difficult for him to kill Xue Yanqing. However, it's not convenient to do it in the city, so we'll have to wait until he leaves the city. "
Li Mojun's eyes lit up as her hope increased. She pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "In three days, the two families will exchange the marriage certificate. For the next few days, that person will be staying in the residence in the capital. I'll think of a way to lure him out of the city as soon as possible."
"Then it's settled. Let me know when you're ready. I'll be ready at any time," Lin Xuan said.
"Okay."
Li Mojun looked deeply at Lin Xuan, then nodded. She supported Li Mohan and left.
Lin Xuan finished the wine in his cup in one gulp and smiled playfully. He got up and walked into the underground cultivation room, returning to the Illusory Demon Orb.
Although Xue Yanqing was arrogant, his initial level Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivation was not fake. Moreover, as the eldest son of the Xue Family, he would definitely have many experts and guards by his side. He would definitely have some powerful dao weapons in his hands.
Therefore, Lin Xuan did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He planned to prepare a few more trump cards before making a move.
Inside the Illusory Demon Orb, Lin Xuan gave a few pointers to the diligent cultivating Qing Zhi. Then, he walked to a distance and took out the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book.
After entering the Heavenly Transformation Realm, he could already use his own strength to activate some of the dao weapons' power.
Currently, he had a few dao rank treasures in his possession, but there was no dao weapon suitable for him.
As for the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book, its grade was unknown, but its function was very powerful. Just the Dragon God's Curse had greatly benefited Lin Xuan.
Now that Lin Xuan's spiritual cavities were full of creation energy, he planned to continue breaking the other two seals in the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book.
If he succeeded, the Dragon Emperor's Golden Book would have two more heaven-defying abilities — the Dragon God's Silence and the Dragon God's Memories. He was very much looking forward to this.
He closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged. After adjusting his breathing, he began to gather the power of creation, condensing a Baleful Soul Awl, and fiercely piercing it towards the second seal in the golden book.
Hum.
The golden book vibrated, causing the void within a hundred meters to tremble. The surrounding earth, stones, and plants were all shaken into fine powder. The momentum was astonishing.
These seals were left behind by ancient human emperors. They were incomparably powerful, like canopies of the heavens in front of Lin Xuan. What he wanted to do now was to use the Baleful Soul Awl to pierce through the canopies of the heavens …
Li Residence's backyard, in a quiet little courtyard.
Li Mojun sat cross-legged on a praying mat, stroking a thin longsword in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were occasionally suffused with a cold intent.
"Miss, you, you really want to marry Young Master Xue?"
Maid Ling Shuang hesitated for a long time before finally mustering the courage to ask. Her face was full of worry and confusion.
Ling Shuang had been by Li Mojun's side since she was young. She was Li Mojun's trusted aide.
Usually, if Li Mojun wanted to know something, Ling Shuang would arrange for people to go out and inquire about it.
Therefore, Ling Shuang knew about Xue Yanqing even earlier than Li Mojun, and she also knew about it in more detail.
If Li Mojun married Xue Yanqing, she would definitely be part of the dowry. This caused her to be filled with worry for her future. She clearly knew that Xue Yanqing's arrogant appearance hid a terrifying demon.
Li Mojun sighed softly and said indifferently, "Ling Shuang, don't be afraid. If that day really comes, I will keep you in the Li Residence. I won't let you jump into the fire pit with me."
"No, no!" Ling Shuang hurriedly knelt down and sobbed, "Miss, I won't leave you! Even if it's the fire pit, Ling Shuang will jump into it with you! It's just that, it's just that Ling Shuang feels that it's not worth it for Miss! Miss is like a celestial being, how can you serve that kind of demon … "
Li Mojun smiled coldly and said self-deprecatingly, "What's not worth it for? As a woman of the Li Family, sacrificing herself for the Li Family might be their duty in their eyes. "
"Miss …" Ling Shuang's expression was distressed, and she wanted to say something but stopped.
Li Mojun suddenly turned around and looked at Ling Shuang, saying, "There's something I need you to do!"
Ling Shuang's expression became serious, and she hurriedly said, "Miss, please tell me! This servant will go through water and tread on fire, and would rather die than refuse! "
"It's not that serious, but you do need to be careful!"
As Li Mojun spoke, she stood up and walked to the table. Holding a pen with her left hand, she wrote a sentence on a piece of paper, stuffed it into an envelope, and handed it to Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang was stunned and asked, "Who should I give this letter to?"
"You don't need to give it to anyone, you just need to do this …"
