When the other party used this kind of evil technique, it was usually with the intention of fighting to the death.

It was unknown how great the enmity was.

Xie Qiao also did not expect that a simple method to crack it would actually blind the eyes.

This pair of eyes could be exchanged for several lives. It was a good deal, but the eyes belonged to her. From now on, if she could not see…

Xie Qiao was stunned.

“If you are really worried, please ask the people from Yuxu Temple to give it a try. But I think there is a 90% chance that it will be a waste of effort. It’d be considered powerful even if one child’s life is saved. If this evil technique is so easy to break, it would not be a forbidden technique,” Mo Lingzi added.

There were many other evil techniques in this world that could hurt people. Using a child as a sacrifice was the most vicious.

“Master, let me think about it,” Xie Qiao said.

“This harmful spell should take about forty-nine days to complete, right? It’s just that I don’t know when this spell started. You can go and check the condition of those children. The worse their bodies are, the longer the spell has lasted.”

As it had already begun, Xie Qiao needed to look with her eyes in order to get the life force in their bodies back.

If she could not get it back, even if she broke the spell, these children would become fools if they did not die.

“I understand.” Xie Qiao nodded.

“Girl, if you become blind, you definitely won’t be the Princess Consort anymore. Even if you can’t see ghouls in the future… It may seem like a good thing, but you won’t be able to solve their last wish and accumulate good karma. Your body won’t be able to recover. How many more years can you last?

“It’s said that it’s using your eyes to exchange for it, but in reality, it’s using your life. Moreover, your body isn’t well. If you want to last for nine days, you have to use some spells to forcefully protect your body and heart. After that, your body will be weak.

“That’s why I said, there’s no way to solve it.

“This method is life-threatening. It’s not a big crime for you to give it up. Presumably, you won’t lose too much good karma. Where there is life, there is hope. Even if you lose a little, it doesn’t matter. In the future, you just have to think of a way to earn it back. Haven’t we all lived like this for so many years…”

Mo Lingzi muttered to himself.

He was a Taoist master, but he was not so magnanimous.

If Xie Qiao’s life was not easy, he knew better than anyone else how much this girl wanted to live.

She risked her life to save others. It looked like she was afraid that she would live for too long. It was extremely contradictory.

Xie Qiao felt very complicated, and she did not know what to choose.

She had been struggling for her life these years, and it was quite tiring. However, after living for years, she felt proud. She had a stubborn temper, and all she wanted was to live a long life. It would be best if she could still be a good person.

However…

Not to mention the pregnant women and the grand preceptor, but the children…

The children had just been born and there were seven of them. She pretended not to see it and let them die. She was afraid that she would destroy her enlightenment-mind.

Xie Qiao left the Fortune Pavilion in a sorry state and returned to the Crown Prince’s residence.

Zhao Xuanjing saw her expression and knew that she had something on her mind. He did not ask her in a hurry and asked someone to serve the food on the table.

“Did Xie Pinggang look for you today?” Zhao Xuanjing asked as he picked up the food.

Xie Qiao pursed her lips and nodded.

“This evil technique is very tough, but you’re not the only Taoist master in the world, don’t you think so?” Zhao Xuanjing looked at her with a gaze full of affection.

Xie Qiao sighed, tilting her head as she asked, “There are thousands of Taoist masters, but there are really not many people like me who are born with a pair of yin-yang eyes, right? Moreover, I have that, and I’m very capable. I can live like no one else in the world, and others can’t help me even if they want to…”

The corner of Zhao Xuanjing’s mouth twitched.

Her tone was up and down, it was even more abnormal.

“My master said that the grand preceptor’s life is probably in danger, so the evil technique should have been used on him. There are seven newborn children, and only I can save them. What do you think we should do?” Xie Qiao asked directly, then, with a serious face, she said, “If I lose my beauty and eyes because I’m saving people, wouldn’t I be giving you, my lucky charm, away?”
