“So, you’re the steward of Honorary Member Zheng. You’ve done countless evil deeds. If 1 don’t bury you now, what will stop you from doing evil next time?”

Su Lingxiu chuckled softly.

She quickly and skilfully buried the steward, jumping and stamping on the soil to make sure it was tightly packed.

“Miss, where shall we go next?”

Aunt Zhou had a look of helplessness on her face.

“We will go to Yunshan County. Didn’t they say there’s a wise man there? I want to see what kind of wise man can compare to me, Su Lingxiu, and to Aunt Zhou.”

Su Lingxiu suggested after giving it some thought.

“Miss, why did you choose to become the heavenly mother of the Tianmu sect?”

Aunt Zhou could never quite understand.

Laughing, Su Lingxiu explained, “The members of the Tianmu Sect have good information networks and can gather many medicinal materials. It’s just a title, and I can utilize their power. What’s wrong with that?

“Kou Ruozhi has some skills, surprisingly leading the Tianmu sect effectively.”

“On this trip to Qi Country, I will see if he has committed any heinously immoral crimes. If he has, I, the heavenly mother, will bury him!”

Aunt Zhou advised, “Miss, you’ve punished many evil people. Evil exists everywhere and can never be completely eliminated. Don’t be too kind-hearted, or you may end up suffering.”

“Don’t worry, Aunt Zhou. I know what I’m doing. This place is not conducive to cultivation, and it’s boring. I need something to keep myself entertained.”

Su Lingxiu carried a shovel and started walking downhill.

Aunt Zhou sighed inwardly and quietly followed her. If the Miss wanted to be unconventional, then so be it. With her around, she assured there would be no danger.

News of the heavenly mother convincing Honorary Member Zheng to abandon wrongdoing in Nanhe County quickly spread.

“Have you heard? The heavenly mother persuaded Honorary Member Zheng to stop doing evil yesterday. Today, he has given away all his wealth and gone to the mountains to atone for his sins.”

“The heavenly mother is so compassionate!”

“Yes, she is indeed…”

The followers of the Tianmu Sect were invigorated, enthusiastically spreading the compassionate and holy deeds of the heavenly mother.

This was an excellent opportunity to expand their follower base.

As to how the heavenly mother convinced Honorary Member Zheng to abandon wrongdoing…

They didn’t know!

All they knew was that the people counseled by the heavenly mother stopped doing evil deeds.

Yunshan County.

Li Xuan heard about what happened in Nanhe County from Shi’er.

“The heavenly mother is truly compassionate. She convinced Honorary Member Zheng of Nanhe County to give up his evil ways. He dispersed all his wealth and went up the mountain to repent his sins.”

Could this be true?

Li Xuan found this interesting. What special capability could this little girl possess, that even wicked people gave up their evil ways under her guidance?

Furthermore, Honorary Member Zheng not only gave up his evil ways but also disbursed all his wealth to help the people of the county.

This was simply unimaginable.

“How did she persuade him?”

Shi’er thought for a while and said, “They say the heavenly mother, with her great compassion and sacred beauty, spoke in detail about the sufferings of the world, urging people to be charitable and abandon evil.”

On hearing this, Li Xuan looked skeptical.

The story was more mysterious than any cultivation technique he could concoct.

“Are you sure this is how it happened?”

Scratching his head, Shi’er said, “That’s how it’s told in the sect. It should be true because the heavenly mother’s counseling has affected not just one or two wicked people.”

On second thought, Li Xuan found it plausible.

Could this young girl possess some ability to manipulate people’s hearts?

“Where is this young girl?”

Li Xuan was intrigued and wanted to meet her.

“It seems she is on her way to Qi Country?”

Shi’er said unsurely.

Even the upper echelons of the Tianmu Sect often couldn’t keep track of the heavenly mother’s whereabouts.

Li Xuan nodded. This young girl was most likely heading to Yunshan County.

When Su Lingxiu arrived in Yunshan County, she went straight to the county government office.

The County Magistrate and the grey-robed old man hastily bowed in greeting.

“Greetings to the heavenly mother!”

Su Lingxiu sat down with a solemn expression, and using her shovel, tapped the head of the Yunshan County Magistrate. She asked, “Have you been corrupt? Have you oppressed the people? Have you exploited the populace?”

“The heavenly mother, no!

“Under my governance, the people live peacefully and happily!”

The County Magistrate of Yunshan County was sweating profusely.

Despite the heavenly mother being a young maiden, the person accompanying her was quite formidable.

“If you dare deceive me, I will bury you!”

Su Lingxiu’s face was stern.

“Absolutely not, absolutely not!”

The county magistrate of Yunshan let out a sigh of relief.

“1 heard that a highly esteemed person has come here and wishes to meet the Heavenly Mother?”

Su Lingxiu asked.

“Yes, yes, he resides in Yunshan county, he is truly an esteemed person!”

The county magistrate of Yunshan hurriedly replied.

“Humph, the Heavenly Mother will go and see for herself. If he’s a fraud, I will bury him!”

Su Lingxiu, carrying a spade and accompanied by Aunt Zhou, headed towards Li Xuan’s home.

County magistrate of Yunshan and others exchanged glances. It seems like the Heavenly Mother will have a dispute with the esteemed person?

They didn’t dare to witness the ensuing chaos, for they feared getting involved and offending the esteemed person.

Xu Yan was still in the capital city of Qi Country and hadn’t returned yet.

However, Li Xuan had met the Heavenly Mother, a young girl who possessed the power to make wicked people cease their wickedness.

Beholding the exquisitely beautiful girl in a white dress, carrying a spade, and the robust woman beside her, a silence enveloped him.

The image of the girl didn’t quite match his expectations.

Shouldn’t she exhibit a solemn and majestic demeanor that mirrors the merciful and noble aura of the Heavenly Mother?

Why was she carrying a spade?

What’s more, the large woman beside her was not simple at all, she was a martial artist!

There were no martial artists in the borderlands. The only explanation would be that these two came from the Inner Domain!

“Is this a 4th rank Martial Artist? In the borderlands, she would be undoubtedly unbeatable. And the young girl, she is also a martial artist?

“Although she seems to only be at the 7th rank, that already surpasses the pinnacle masters of the borderlands.”

Li Xuan examined the two while being deep in thought.

Shi’er, who was nearby, was carefully observing the situation. The Heavenly Mother seemed to be ill-intentioned?

Su Lingxiu gazed at Li Xuan, astonished. Is he a highly esteemed man?

The young man before her felt inscrutably profound and unattainable, causing her hesitation and preventing her from making any rash actions.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhou beside her was even more tense, her muscles taut and beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

Is he a great Grandmaster? No! Absolutely not, even a Great Grandmaster cannot be this inscrutable!”

She was in utter shock.

The renowned man of Yunshan county, is he a martial artist?

Moreover, she had a dreadful speculation: “Could it be, those people have chased us into the borderlands?

No, no, it’s impossible. How could they come to the borderlands?”

Li Xuan held the Jade Ruyi in his hand, chuckling as he said, “Little girl, are you the current Heavenly Mother of the Heavenly Mother’s Teaching?”

Su Lingxiu nodded, “Yes, 1 am. And you are…”

Li Xuan asked with interest, “I’ve heard that those who have been admonished by you never do evil deeds again. Is this true? How did you advise them?”

This was the reason he was taking the young girl seriously.

Now that he had met her, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

Su Lingxiu smiled saucily, flourishing her spade, “It’s really easy. I bury them, then they will never be able to do evil again!”

Li Xuan was stupefied, that simple?

Of course, dead people wouldn’t commit evil deeds anymore.

Shi’er, who was standing nearby, was taken aback. So it was so simple?

Li Xuan glanced at Shi’er, fully aware that this guy didn’t know the truth either.

“Just that simple?”

Su Lingxiu looked at him oddly, “Just that simple. Dig a hole, bury them in it, then they won’t be able to do evil deeds anymore. Can a dead person still do evil deeds?”

Li Xuan was left speechless.

Damn, this is what they called word of mouth. It was simply outrageous. A very simple thing was exaggerated!

And he was even intrigued by it!

The rumors about the young girl’s exceptional medical skills weren’t exaggerated, were they?

“What about your medical skills? Is that also word of mouth?”

This girl appeared to be lively and full of spirit, unlike someone who could sit down and meticulously study medical techniques.

He must start scouting for his third apprentice…

“The medical skills are real. I started studying medical techniques when I was four years old. Now 1 am seventeen, and I have achieved the pinnacle in my medical skills. There is undoubtedly no one in the Qi or Wu Country who could surpass me.”

Unexpectedly, the medical skills were not exaggerated?

Li Xuan instantly perked up, saying, “Little girl, what is your name?”

ii

Su Lingxiu!”

Su Lingxiu answered honestly.

Aunt Zhou’s behavior seemed to be odd. Something like this had never happened before. This person in front of them must be an extraordinarily powerful being..
