Chapter 2004 Not Put in the Oil Pan
Fan Wuyou directly stated the rumors from back then.
This surprised Lu Zhaoling.
A ghost from the Great Jin Dynasty actually appeared. Moreover, it was a ghost who knew Zhou Shiyue and Qian Dingxing, so they didn't need to investigate everything.
However, after the initial surprise, she was also somewhat disappointed.
Hearing Fan Wuyou say this, she realized she didn't know much about what happened back then. She had only heard the rumors, but she had no idea what the truth was.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said it was just a misunderstanding; she would have just told the truth.
Zhou Shiyue remained unmoved, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.
Seeing this, Fan Wuyou felt a little sad.
"Do you still remember what happened back then?" Fan Wuyou looked at him expectantly. "I know you died a terrible death back then. I wanted to go and see you, but my brother wouldn't let me. Later, later I died too..."
"How did you die?" Lu Zhaoling asked again at this moment.
Fan Wuyou couldn't help but glare at her.
Why do you always interrupt her and Wang when they are talking?
But she dared not refuse to answer Lu Zhaoling's question.
"I... I was framed by a treacherous minister. I wanted to shield my elder brother from an arrow; I was wearing invulnerable golden silk armor, I thought I wouldn't die, but..."
As she spoke, her expression changed, and she clutched her chest, as if the pain of being shot by an arrow was now becoming clear again.
"However, the enemy used jade bone arrows made by the Empress, which can pierce through gold-threaded soft armor."
It was that kind of arrow again.
Lu Zhaoling looked at her.
"So, you died from an arrow made by the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty."
"It can't be blamed on her. Someone must have stolen her arrow. The King was wounded before because a villain stole the Jade Bone Arrow. Back then, the Empress knelt before the Emperor and explained it clearly."
Fan Wuyou said firmly, "The Empress is wholeheartedly devoted to the Great Jin, and the King is also the guardian general of the Great Jin. With him around, the Great Jin will be safe and sound. Therefore, the Empress would never kill the King."
“Guardian General…” Lu Zhaoling murmured the title.
Fan Wuyou then said sadly, "After the king's death, the Great Jin Dynasty indeed perished in less than two years. The people all say it's because the guardian deity is gone, and Heaven is blaming the Great Jin..."
"How did the Great Jin Dynasty perish?" This was the question Zhou Shiyue asked.
Fan Wuyou shook his head blankly. "I don't know either. I was already dead at that time. I don't know where my soul was after I died. I had no consciousness. When I suddenly woke up one day, the Great Jin Dynasty had already perished. I heard people say that the Great Jin Dynasty had been dead for several years. I calculated it myself. The Great Jin Dynasty perished two years after you died."
For a long time, she was unable to interact with living people and could only hear them when someone passed by and said something to her.
"My soul drifted and drifted until it came to an abandoned house. There I saw this zither. The zither seemed to have some spiritual power. I possessed the zither and was able to absorb spiritual energy."
"Later, I gained some cultivation, but my zither was discovered by someone else and taken to Yunbei. It was in Yunbei that I obtained that talisman."
"Where did you get that talisman?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
“Speaking of which,” Fan Wuyou exclaimed, glancing at her again, “what a coincidence, it’s also about someone surnamed Lu.”
"The Lu family of Yunbei?"
“Yes, that’s the head of the Lu family, right?” Fan Wuyou said. “But he’s a living person, so that talisman has no effect on him. It won’t affect me if I take it.”
She took a step back, looking at Lu Zhaoling with some wariness, "Are you going to bring up this kind of theft again?"
Lu Zhaoling smiled and said, "You said it yourself."
"I left something in exchange!" Fan Wuyou immediately exclaimed. "I got a hundred-year-old ginseng there. That stuff is useful to the living, right? I left the ginseng behind!"
“I am the adopted sister of the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, I would never steal anything!” she said.
Lu Zhaoling scoffed.
"I'll go to the Lu family in Yunbei later and ask if this is true. However, if they don't want the ginseng at all and just want this talisman that's useless to the living, then you're still in the wrong."
"I......"
Fan Wuyou was speechless for a moment.
"Go ahead and ask! I don't believe they don't want ginseng, but a talisman that's only useful to ghosts! Anyway, if they want the talisman, I can't repay them. I'll just find something else to make up for it."
Fan Wuyou suddenly realized what was happening.
"Huh? You mean you're not going to take me in now?"
She was quite clever and immediately understood what Lu Zhaoling meant.
Lu Zhaoling hummed in agreement, "I'll keep it for you to take a look first."
"Didn't you want to avenge Meng Si?"
Fan Wuyou felt a little guilty when Meng Si was mentioned.
"So you know you've wronged Meng Si?"
"I really didn't want to kill him; I wanted to save him, but my cultivation level wasn't high enough. How is he now?"
Fan Wuyou bit her lower lip. "Can I go see him?"
"What, you still want Meng Si to keep recognizing you as her older sister, even though you've made her half-dead?" Lu Zhaoling retorted.
Fan Wuyou quickly waved his hand, "No! I just wanted to see how he is now, and also wanted to apologize to him."
"How did you end up like that?"
"This..." Fan Wuyou looked at Zhou Shiyue again, and said embarrassedly, "I don't know either. Towards the end, I couldn't control myself anymore. I had to absorb some of the man's essence to stay conscious in the painting. If I didn't absorb any essence, I felt like I was going to disappear. I don't want to die..."
So she couldn't control herself.
Lu Zhaoling interrupted her, which could also be seen as a reminder, "You're already dead."
"I meant utterly destroyed, you know that."
There's no need to nitpick about her flaws.
“You will indeed suffer a bit in this regard,” Lu Zhaoling said. “Therefore, I will send you to the Netherworld first.”
"Why are you sending me there?" Fan Wuyou was terrified, her face turning pale. "I don't want to be boiled in oil!"
If she were deep-fried and turned into a fried dough stick, would she still have such an appearance?
Lu Zhaoling: "......"
"It's not your choice!" she glared fiercely at Fan Wuyou.
Fan Wuyou was about to float towards Zhou Shiyue, but as soon as she moved, Zhou Shiyue slapped her away.
Fan Wuyou instantly drifted far away, and with a thud, of course, there was no sound. But the way she fell to the ground made everyone automatically imagine the sound.
She fell to the ground, her whole body pressed against the ground, unable to move.
In that brief moment, she seemed to see golden light emanating from Zhou Shiyue.
