I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 75: Chapter 71: A Fragmented Message Brought by the Peach Blossoms

Reading people is a skill learned by children from humble beginnings, or from families torn by internal conflict—children who never know if they’ll see the next day.

Besides, even if she were truly skilled at reading people, how could she possibly see through an old codger who had lived for nearly 300 years?

In truth, when Du Youqian said that, it wasn’t because he planned to stand by and do nothing.

Rather, he wanted to lower her expectations first, giving himself room to maneuver.

He also wanted to see what this girl was made of.

Though the girl was a descendant of Liao Leizhong, too many generations had passed. She was practically a stranger to him, with no ancestral bond to speak of—her family likely didn’t even have a Spiritual Tablet for "Fang Ying," let alone ever burn incense for him.

Therefore, even though the girl possessed a Spirit Root, if her character wasn’t up to par, he wouldn’t bother with her and would simply treat her as a stranger.

If her character was acceptable and she was promising material, then it wouldn’t hurt to form a good bond with her.

As for avenging the Liao Family... even if slaughtering all their enemies was a trivial matter for him, he wouldn’t necessarily do it.

First, he wasn’t sure if the girl was telling the truth. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Even if the girl wasn’t lying, her youth might mean she didn’t know the whole truth herself.

Was the Liao Family truly the victim?

Was it possible that the Liao Family had also committed many evil deeds over the years, and this was simply their comeuppance?

All of this required investigation. Du Youqian didn’t want to carelessly kill the very person who had slain the evil dragon.

As for the act of killing itself, that was exceedingly simple.

They were merely Mortals. What difficulty could there be?

Even slaughtering everyone in Cyan Bamboo Castle would be a simple task for him.

So simple, in fact, that such an act couldn’t possibly affect his final evaluation.

He wasn’t struggling at all with whether or not he should do it.

He could do it, or not.

It would depend on karma, on his mood, and on whether it was convenient.

"How long has it been since you’ve eaten? I’ve prepared some beast milk for you. Drink it, get some rest, and once your body has recovered a bit, you should leave the mountain." With that, Du Youqian stood up and left the side room.

Liao Minmin remained kneeling on the floor, stunned, her eyes losing their focus.

After an unknown amount of time, she began to move, slowly and mechanically. She picked up the porcelain bowl of beast milk from the table and began to sip it in small mouthfuls.

Soon, she tilted her head back and began to chug. GULP. GULP. GULP.

After finishing the beast milk, some of the light returned to her eyes.

’Liao Minmin, you have to pull yourself together. You’re the only one left in the Liao Family. If you give up, then the hundreds of people in the Liao Family will have died in vain, and there will be no one left to get justice for them!’

Clenching her fist and giving it a small pump, Liao Minmin felt her energy returning.

’Ancestor... The Ancestor is Ancestor Lie’s adoptive father, so I should call him Great-Ancestor. Great-Ancestor doesn’t want to avenge the Liao Family because he only doted on Ancestor Lie. After Ancestor Lie passed away, Great-Ancestor has no affection for the rest of the Liao Family.’

’Then I’ll just have to tell Great-Ancestor more about our family, let him know what kind of people the Liao Family were. Maybe then he’ll feel some compassion and be willing to avenge us.’

Liao Minmin was a person of action; once she decided on something, she did it.

However, just as she was about to act, she noticed a set of new clothes on the bed. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Looking down at the tattered rags hanging off her body, the dirt-caked skin they failed to cover, and the many scrapes all over her, Liao Minmin felt a flush of embarrassment.

’It’s fine. It doesn’t matter if Great-Ancestor saw me. He’s hundreds of years old and an Immortal. He won’t care about things like this.’

’Then again, Great-Ancestor seems to be the kind of elder who looks cold on the outside but is warm on the inside.’
