Chapter 571: Great Revenge

Xia Moyan lightly pushed the swing again.

“Xiao Ling, do you know what fate is? Father told me that fate is like the ocean. Even if you can predict its flow, you can’t change it. If you know that a storm is coming, you can only do what is within your ability to evade it. At the end of the day, only God determines whether you will live or die.”

“I don’t understand.” Xia Ling said.

Xia Moyan looked at her gently. “The people you like and the people who like you all have their own fates. You also have your own fate, Xiao Ling. It’s all predetermined by God. No matter who you are with, it can’t be changed by a few people, so you shouldn’t worry so much.”

“Has God arranged for me to be with Li Lei?”

“Silly girl.” Xia Moyan smiled. Who knew what God had in mind? Their blood relationship was too close, so he could not see her fate clearly. As a result, he also could not clearly see the fates of people close to her.

One of them was Li Lei.

This precisely showed that they were deeply entangled.

However, he did not intend to tell Xia Ling this. One would have to pay the price of getting a glimpse of fate. Her life was already very rough, and it would not benefit her to know so much.

“Tomorrow, I can accompany you to distract yourself. What do you want to do?” He said.

Warmth filled Xia Ling’s heart. It turned out that her brother was really there to accompany her. She felt very ashamed as she had no reason to think that her brother was not close to her in the past. In reality, he was the closest relative she had.

She looked lively and smiled. “I want to go shopping.”

“Shopping?” Xia Moyan said. “Ok. When you girls are unhappy, why are you all the same?”

“Who else is there?” Xia Ling asked curiously.

“Mother.” Xia Moyan replied. There was a pained expression on his initially calm face. “Father was too impatient to accompany her and always made excuses to avoid going shopping with her. As a result, Pearl and I had to suffer. Oh yes, Pearl is a Persian cat that my mother raised. It always followed her no matter where she went.”

Xia Ling smiled more sweetly as if she became closer to her mother whom she had never met before.

“I also have a cat.” She said. “It’s called Hairball, and it’s very playful…”

She told her brother about Hairball, and Xia Moyan listened gently. He helped her off the swing and accompanied her back to the villa. After that, he made medicated soup for her and said, “This will help you sweat. Go to bed early. When you wake up tomorrow, you will feel better and we can go shopping.”

Xia Ling looked curiously at the medicated soup in the bowl. It was dark green in color and had finely chopped grass.

“What is this?” She asked.

“This is made from the fruits of two 28-year-old bamboo shoots that bore fruit during the year you achieved nirvana.” Xia Moyan said. “Legend has it that the Phoenix eats bamboo as a staple. If you eat some bamboo occasionally, it will benefit you.”

Xia Ling was speechless.

What did he mean by asking her to eat bamboo occasionally? This was not the diet of a Phoenix but of a panda!

She slightly grimaced in her heart, but she obediently drank all of the soup. Although the color of the soup was frightening, it tasted surprisingly good. Tasting a trace of sweetness, she immediately felt that her head did not hurt anymore. It was as if she had partially recovered from her cold.

“How amazing.” She said.

“Someone more amazing is behind you.” Xia Moyan said.

This silly girl actually thought that two bamboo fruits were so easy to find. In a bamboo’s lifetime, only one flower bloomed and bore fruit. The flowering period was uncertain and had always been a mystery of nature. These two bamboo shoots also bore fright during the time she achieved nirvana. After finding out about her death, his father and he ran around the entire world until they found these two bamboo fruits in a primitive jungle. The medical soup was made according to an ancient secret recipe.

It could obviously do more than cure her cold.

“What other magical effects are there?” Xia Ling asked.

Xia Moyan replied. “Soon, you will find out.”

Seeing that he refused to talk about it, Xia Ling did not ask further. She obediently put down the bowl and went upstairs to rest. She slept for a long time. When she woke up, the sky was already bright. Her head was no longer dizzy, and she felt very refreshed as if she had never caught a cold.

Her brother was still the best.

She was very happy. When she went downstairs, she gave her brother a hug. He was currently trimming the plants in the yard. Slightly startled, he gently hugged her back.

She really resembled her mother. They were so bright that people could not help but like them.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Xia Ling curiously watched as he trimmed the leaves of the plants.

“The fengshui in the yard is a little messy. I will help you tidy it up.” He did not say too much. This was probably the most he could do for his sister within his ability. In reality, Xia Ling’s fate was very bad and full of ups and downs. Even if her garden’s fengshui was perfect, it could not help much, but it was better than nothing.

Xia Ling smiled vibrantly. “My brother is awesome!”

“Remember to wear that amulet well.” Xia Moyan reminded her.

“The one that Li Lei gave me?” She pulled the amulet out from her neck. “I’m wearing it. He said that anything that claims to be everlasting is a lie. My family isn’t there when I’m being bullied, so…”

Her eyes turned a little red.

Xia Moyan generally knew what happened recently. The Li Family held a “wife selection” ceremony, and Li Lei sent Nangong Qingya home in the middle of the night. As Xiao Ling’s brother, he was slightly upset about his prospective brother-in-law and was carefully considering if he should recommend his sister to choose someone else.

“Although Li Lei may be your phoenix tree,” Xia Moyan said. “he’s not the only phoenix tree in the world. What sort of thing is he, anyway? He actually dared to make you suffer a grievance. I’ll help you seek revenge on him.”

“He’s not a thing… No, I mean.” Xia Ling was a little anxious and incoherent. “Don’t seek revenge against him.”

Xia Moyan slowly looked at her. “Do you feel bad?”

“Of course not!” Xia Ling was furious.

“Well, I’ll seek a small revenge against him, then.” Xia Moyan lowered his eyes and continued to trim the leaves of the plants. The beautifully fragrant night willow herb and ivy looked more ethereal in his hands as if they gained a lively charm.

Xia Ling asked, “What sort of small revenge?”

“It’s very simple.” Xia Moyan described as he continued to cut the leaves. “I’ll let him get into a car accident or become bankrupt. Old Master Li is also old. Maybe I’ll let his life end a few years earlier. Although there may be difficulties, it’s not impossible…”

“Brother… Brother…” Xia Ling trembled with fear. “This is the so-called small revenge you are talking about ?!”

“Yes.” Xia Moyan remained calm as if he were talking about something simple and logical such as drinking water before eating.

Xia Ling was about to go crazy. “Then what if it’s a huge revenge?”

“A huge revenge…” This time, Xia Moyan stopped trimming the leaves and thought for a few more seconds. “That will be quite complicated in fengshui terms. I have to prepare many more materials, and you have to give me some time. Logically speaking, it’s possible to exterminate the entire Li Family and cause them to be doomed eternally. The men will become slaves and the females will become prostitutes. Oh, I’m talking about a generation of workers, mistresses, sex workers, and even beggars. This family will no longer be able to make a comeback.”

Xia Ling gave her brother a lifeless look. Now, she finally understood why so many people respected and feared him.
