Chapter 64: Letting the King of Chu Find a Reason to Look for Someone Again

  Luosi Qi now thinks that Qing Yuansu this old man is really too despicable, in order to help him save his so-called entire space-time, she has to let her and Tang Xiaoxia not have a few peaceful days.

  She returned to the Chu Wang Palace of the Spring and Autumn Period, and in the two days since her return to modern times, she felt the horror of being envied. Originally, she thought that the orange stone on the seven-color Linglong Stone was covered with a thin layer of white because of her resentment towards Tang Xiaoxia's death, but now she knew that Tang Xiaoxia was not dead, and although the white film had disappeared, it was replaced by a black film. Although this black color is very light, you can still see the orange inside very clearly through it, but this still makes Luosi Qi feel uncomfortable.

  She waved her hand and the people below tried their own magic, feeling that it had become even weaker than before. Why was this? Was there something else affecting it besides Tang Xiao Yu's affair?

  She thought that the orange stone symbolized jealousy, and to completely purify it required overcoming jealousy. She had already gained a deep understanding of being jealous of others, and with Chi Huang's help, she had thoroughly activated it that day. That was why she asked Qing Yuanzi to help her activate the green stone that symbolized betrayal.

  Now the orange block has gone wrong, and her magic power has also been greatly reduced. She thought about it and couldn't figure out what was going on. When she went out to stroll around the streets of the palace, she saw one of King Chu's concubines and her maidservants behind her. The concubine held her head high, admiring the scenery in the palace, while the maidservants all lowered their heads, carefully following behind. Luosiqi subconsciously thought that these maidservants following behind might lament that as women, how could there be such a big difference?

  A sudden inspiration flashed through her mind.

  After she returned to modern times, she was envied by all the girls in her class and even the whole school because of her relationship with Tang Xiaoxia. Tang Xiaoxia was transferred away from the seat behind her, and she was also furious about this. Was it just because of this that the white membrane had just disappeared and the black membrane had risen again?

  If things are really as Lusky speculated, that is to say, in order to thoroughly purify this orange stone and make it no longer have new changes, not only must one overcome one's own jealous heart towards others, but also overcome the jealous hearts of others towards oneself!

  Rosie was pleased with her clever mind for figuring it out, but she was depressed about the conclusion she had drawn.

  Overcoming one's own jealousy towards others is indeed difficult, but if one has a good character and can gain deep insights from encountering things and being guided by others, just like she thoroughly activated the orange stone in that ancient temple where Chi Huang was, it's not entirely impossible.

  Now the requirement is to overcome other people's jealousy towards oneself. People are born not all the same, and there will always be differences in high and low, advantages and disadvantages. And humans are a very strange animal, they always envy or resent others' strengths, comparing them with their own weaknesses, which makes them feel dissatisfied, and dissatisfaction breeds resentment, blaming themselves for being so unlucky, and why the world is so unfair?

  And she never thought of digging out her own advantages.

  A person who can appreciate their own strengths and moderately improve their weaknesses is happy. She does not envy others, nor is she overly demanding of herself. Lucy knows that she can now understand this truth, so she can make herself less envious, but she now needs to learn to face other people's envy calmly, and such envy may be as aggressive as what she encountered in modern times.

  She thought that since the seven-colored Linglong stone would turn black, it meant she had to learn to be calm and composed. And if she had to learn to be calm and composed, it meant that this extremely spiritual stone had already sensed that something that could test her was approaching.

  That is to say, now there are people with strong jealousy around her who want to calculate her. Who will it be?

  She doesn't deny that what she has now, which is definitely enviable to others, but this envy shouldn't turn into jealousy. The production of jealousy often occurs when the person who is jealous and the person being envied have similar conditions, for example, they are both ordinary people with similar family backgrounds, and at the same time, they buy lottery tickets, one wins a thousand dollars, and the other doesn't win anything. In this case, the person who didn't win might feel jealous. But if the person who won a thousand dollars already has a lot of money at home, whether or not he wins this thousand dollars, he is still much better off than the other person, then jealousy would be hard to produce, and at most, people would just envy his good luck.

  Luoshi's current favor with King Chu is entirely due to her own exceptional abilities, which are unmatched by anyone else in the palace. So, who could be so jealous of her that it would affect the Seven-Colored Luminous Stone?

  She can only think of Fei Wuji now, this guy, although he enthusiastically invited her to dinner on the first day she came, and didn't mention Wu Xi at all, but Luosiqi couldn't help feeling that he was afraid of her and trying to curry favor with her.

  Fei Wuji was jealous because Wu Xie was favored by the crown prince, so he offered Meng Ying to King Ping of Chu for his own future. Now she is more favored than Fei Wuji, and he can't help but feel a sense of loss and secretly harbor hostile intentions towards her.

  But what can he rely on to harm himself now? Although his strength has been weakened, in this era, he still has overwhelming power over ordinary people like Fei Wuji and those under him! Any ordinary attack would be nothing but a fleeting cloud in front of her.

  Is she being poisoned? In order to ensure her safety as well as his own, the King of Chu had already ordered four physicians to inspect her food in front of her at every meal. Moreover, to prevent the physicians from being bribed, their wives and children were all taken to a heavily guarded place within the palace to be provided for.

  Would she speak ill of herself in front of the King of Chu like she did to Crown Prince Jian and Wu Xuan? That would only lead to her own downfall, clearly exposing that she prioritized her own favor over the king's safety and life. In this situation, if her conflict with Fei Wuyi really escalated to the point where the King of Chu could only keep one of them, Luosiqi believed that the king would unhesitatingly abandon Fei Wuyi and choose her instead.

  She couldn't think of anything else, so she simply stopped thinking about it. When the soldiers come, she will defend herself; when the water comes, she will cover herself with soil. The most important thing for her now is to find Tang Xiaoxia and reunite with him. If the Night God Sect really cannot be killed without killing him, he won't always be so lucky as to have a mountain top or cliff to jump from.

  She thought and went to see the King of Chu, telling him that she wanted to spend a lot of money to find someone named Tang Xiaoxia. The King of Chu asked her why, and she told him: "This Tang Xiaoxia is my senior fellow apprentice. Although he doesn't have as strong magical powers as I do, he has an astonishing talent for alchemy since birth. His ability to refine elixirs has long surpassed that of his master Qingyuanzi. If Your Majesty can find him and let him prepare a few immortal pills for you, even if it can't make you live forever, at least five or ten years of extended lifespan is possible."

  The King of Chu, like any king from ancient times to the present, as soon as he heard that an elixir could be refined to prolong life and increase longevity, his eyes lit up immediately, and he hastily ordered someone to post a notice according to Luo Siqi's requirements, eagerly waiting for this capable person to arrive early.
