Chapter 549: It’s Time to Show Your True Skills
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying gestured to Zhou Qing that there was no need to be anxious. Her mouth might not be good at discerning other things, but it could distinguish between various types of medicines in a short time.
She only used her lips to lightly touch a small amount of the water with talisman paper. After the water completely wetted her tongue, Su Ying could taste the medicine. The talisman was indeed drawn up using some medicinal fluid. It seemed to be a painkiller concocted from a very common prescription. However, the fluid was very concentrated. It was probably derived by repeatedly boiling the ingredients of the painkiller prescription and then drawing the talisman symbols with the concentrated medicinal liquid. This would explain why Nie Jun would slowly calm down after drinking the talisman paper-infused water when he was in extreme pain.
It wasn’t because talisman paper cured the illness but because the painkillers were taking effect.
“I want to meet this Great Immortal White Lotus. Mistress, you probably know where the Great Immortal is, right?”
Madam Pang looked at Su Ying’s expression and thought that she had also been convinced by the Great Immortal White Lotus’s divine skills. “I know, of course I know. It’s in that rebuilt temple in the suburbs called Trinity Breeze.” Su Ying nodded slightly and said to Zhou Qing, “Go and ‘invite’ this Great Immortal White Lotus here.”
With one eye signal from Su Ying, Zhou Qing instantly understood the underlying meaning behind her gaze. “Yes, your servant will go now.” Old Mistress Nie was smart. From Su Ying’s reaction, she knew that there was definitely something wrong with this bulls.h.i.+t Great Immortal. However, that idiot Madam Pang couldn’t tell at all.
When the Imperial Guards located the Trinity Breeze temple, the Great Immortal White Lotus was giving a sermon to her followers. Just as the followers were listening excitedly, the Imperial Guards kicked the door open and stormed in. Under the stunned eyes of the crowd, they dragged the Great Immortal White Lotus out.
What… what are you doing? How dare you be so rude to the Great Immortal White Lotus!” The Great Immortal White Lotus was the G.o.d in the hearts of the followers. How could they let these guards leave just like that when they saw their G.o.d being hauled away like some animal?
“I want you to put down the Great Immortal White Lotus immediately!” There was no lack of n.o.ble ladies from aristocratic families among the followers, and they immediately blocked the Imperial Guards’ way.
One Imperial Guard said without any emotion, “The Empress wants to see the Great Immortal White Lotus. Move aside at once.”
Panic flashed across the Great Immortal White Lotus’s eyes, but she still said calmly, “Everyone, don’t worry. I will return safely. If I can’t return, it will be my predestined doom.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she was dragged away by the Imperial Guards.
The followers were worried. The Empress was not an easy person to get along with. She had a fiery temper and the Emperor still indulged her. If she did something bad to the Great Immortal White Lotus, what should they do?
“Mrs. Zhang, do you think Great Immortal will be fine?”
How could Mrs. Zhang know? “The Great Immortal said that if she doesn’t return safely, this will be her predestined doom…”
These words made the expressions of the followers change slightly. If the Great Immortal White Lotus could not safely transcend the tribulation, wouldn’t that mean that they would not be able to make requests to her in the future?
“Don’t be anxious. Let’s wait and see. If the Empress wants to do something bad to the Great Immortal, we’ll go to the Empress to beg her not to harm the Great Immortal.”
The followers could only wait and see. After all, the Empress was not someone they could afford to offend.
The Great Immortal White Lotus was brought to the General’s Residence. Madam Pang, who was waiting in the inner hall, saw the Imperial Guards treating the Great Immortal White Lotus very roughly and her face clouded over instantly. “What are you guys doing? Quickly let go of the Great Immortal White Lotus.”
The Imperial Guards turned a deaf ear to her words and hauled the Great Immortal White Lotus directly up to Su Ying.
The moment the Great Immortal White Lotus met Su Ying’s two almond-shaped eyes, her heart shuddered. Those deep dark eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and she began panicking inwardly.
She quickly lowered her eyes and adjusted her emotional state. She had encountered all kinds of situations. Calm down!
“Why aren’t you kowtowing after seeing the Empress?” Zhou Qing barked sternly.
The Great Immortal White Lotus calmed down after mentally preparing herself. She pressed her palms together in front of her chest and said, “May you have good health, Your Imperial Highness. In my eyes, all living beings are equal. Even Your Imperial Highness is just one of many living beings.”
“Pfft!”
Su Ying usually didn’t laugh unless she couldn’t help it.
“You’re telling me that all life is equal?”
Su Ymg’s aura was simply too powerful, and the Great Immortal White Lotus almost couldn’t withstand it!
“Yes, everyone is equal in the eyes of the Taoist Way.”
“Since all living beings are equal, why aren’t you the one paying respects to others, but it is the other people who come to pay respects to you and offer incense to you? You’ve enjoyed so much physical gold and silver from so many people, yet now you’re telling me that all living beings are equal?”
The Great Immortal White Lotus couldn’t refute these words… The Empress was really crafty in her thoughts!
To put it bluntly, she was not easy to fool!
The Great Immortal White Lotus forced herself to calm down and emphasized,
In the eyes of the Taoist Way, all living beings are equal.”
“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. I only want to ask you one thing. What did you use to draw this talisman paper?”
Su Ying threw the remaining bit of talisman paper in front of the Great Immortal White Lotus.
The Great Immortal White Lotus looked at the talisman paper. “It’s cinnabar which has been infused with the spiritual objects of heaven and earth.”
As soon as the Great Immortal White Lotus finished speaking, Su Ying grabbed hold of her chin. “I hate liars the most. I’ll give you a chance to rephrase your words.”
Su Ying didn’t use much strength, but the Great Immortal White Lotus felt as if her chin was being clamped by an iron clamp. It was so painful that tears were about to fall from her eyes. Could anyone tell her why the mother of a kingdom was so formidable?
When she saw Su Ying being so disrespectful to the Great Immortal White Lotus, Madam Pang was so anxious that she wanted to step forward. However, with a glance from Old Mistress Nie, the two old maidservants immediately stepped forward and stopped Madam Pang.
I don’t know what Your Imperial Highness wants to hear, but I am speaking the truth.”
For a swindler, this Great Immortal White Lotus certainly had some mental fort.i.tude.
Then tell me. What abilities do you have?”
Before the Great Immortal White Lotus could speak, Madam Pang answered impatiently, “Your Imperial Highness, the Great Immortal White Lotus is able to bring the dead back to life and even heal the pain of the followers. She’s a real immortal!”
The Great Immortal White Lotus’s eyebrows twitched, and she almost jumped up to slap Madam Pang’s face. Who told her to talk so much!
“Oh? Really? That’s amazing.”
“Argh!”
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, she picked up a porcelain cup beside her and smashed it on the table. She grabbed a fragment and cut the back of the Great Immortal White Lotus’s fair and tender hand. The Great Immortal White Lotus was so frightened that she cried out in shock.
Bright red blood instantly flowed down the back of her snow-white hand, shocking everyone present.
Su Ying slowly straightened up and looked down at her from above. “Come. It’s time to show your true skills.”
The Great Immortal White Lotus was in so much pain that she was about to cry. Her bleeding hand froze in the same spot and trembled non-stop.
“Great Immortal, Great Immortal, hurry up. Quickly use your divine skills to heal your wounds and prove to the Empress how powerful you are!” f.u.c.k your G.o.dd.a.m.n family and relatives!
The Great Immortal White Lotus’s eyes darted around rapidly as she thought of a way to deal with this. However, she could feel an overwhelming pressure coming from Su Ying as she stared at Su Ying’s feet. She was going to die, she was going to die. How was she going to break out of this stalemate now?
If she couldn’t deal with it, then she might as well play dead!
The Great Immortal White Lotus rolled her eyes and crumpled to the ground. However, the instant she collapsed, she immediately jumped up again with a cry..
