Chapter 314 - 313: How to Lead a Child Astray
Qin Liuxi released the ghost of the Liang woman, leaving her somewhat surprised.
"You, you’re letting me go?" Mrs. Liang’s eyes widened.
Qin Liuxi counter-asked: "What, if I don’t let you go, should I keep you for dinner instead?"
"No, you know what I am going to do, and you still let me go?" Mrs. Liang pursed her lips and said, "That Daoist from Chengyang said, to exterminate evil and defend the Dao, aren’t you a Taoist too?"
"Do I look like someone willing to do good deeds without receiving silver? Without benefits, why should I waste my time on this? Am I complaining that the bed is not soft enough, or the food not fragrant enough?" Qin Liuxi snorted with a laugh: "Since no one is paying me in silver to take action, what’s wrong with me finding something else to do with my time?"
Mrs. Liang caught the implication and prostrated herself on the ground, giving a bow to her.
"The humble woman thanks the master for your mercy."
"I am not merciful; I am merely shrewd and pragmatic, so you need not place that high hat on my head. I won’t hold it against you for intruding this courtyard, just vanish." Qin Liuxi looked up at the sky: "On this dark and windy night of murder, indeed a fine time it is. I wonder when Master Chengyang will prove his innocence from this unjust accusation."
A glint flashed in Mrs. Liang’s eyes.
Qin Liuxi’s words were simply a reminder to her that once Master Chengyang proved his innocence, he would inevitably return to deal with her at Jia Gou’s side.
