Villain: I Can See Destiny

24: Chapter 24 Could my sister have someone she likes?The next day, early morning.

The street vendors had not yet started setting up their stalls when the serene road was broken by the sound of hoofbeats.

Guards riding fire-horses rode straight to the entrance of the Luo Residence.

They announced the purpose of their visit and handed a verdant token to the guards at the gate.

Following the guards’ announcement, a clamor instantly spread from the outer residence to the inner residence.

Luo Cang, who had just woken up, couldn’t help but be curious about what had happened to make the usually lifeless Luo Residence become so lively.

He wanted to find someone to ask what was going on, but as soon as he opened the door, he found his courtyard already filled with clansmen.

Seeing Luo Cang appear, the people of the Luo Residence looked joyful. Someone even shouted loudly, ”Thanks to Young Master, our Luo family is saved.”

”Young Master is truly talented to have actually gained the appreciation of Your Majesty.”

”Perhaps our Luo family can rise to an even higher level.”

An elder of the clan suppressed his inner excitement and told him, ”Little Cang, Your Majesty feels that many of your philosophies coincide with his, and has specially appointed you as the Commander of the Inspection Bureau. It is a fourth-rank official position, second only to the Master!”

The other clansmen were also overjoyed. One had to know that the Inspection Bureau was a position with real power; how many people were green with envy!

Compared to the excitement of the clansmen, Luo Cang’s heart sank to the bottom.

This was the worst outcome deduced by the heavenly dao bead!

With this position, he would become Emperor Lin Shu’s executioner.

He would be loathed by everyone, estranged from his father, and even Mingyue and his little sister would not understand him.

He couldn’t help but wonder, was it really right to defect to Young Master Xiao Zimo?

But now, he had no way to retreat.

Outside the Imperial Capital, Linshui Lake.

The lake was surrounded by green mountains, forming a beautiful landscape painting.

There were very few pedestrians in the early morning.

Luo Qing was happily taking a walk on the quiet path by the lake.

Everything had been getting better these past few days. First, her brother and Mingyue had reconciled, and now her brother was valued by Your Majesty and held a fourth-rank position...

”Oof...”

Because she was lost in thought, Luo Qing accidentally bumped into someone and fell to the ground herself.

”Are you alright, Miss?”

A voice as gentle as jade reached Luo Qing’s ears.

Luo Qing looked up.

What met her eyes was a Young Master in white robes as elegant as jade. He wore an apologetic smile, and a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes looked at her sincerely, possessing such charm that she was instantly mesmerized.

”Miss? Miss?”

The other party called out several times before she came back to her senses.

Luo Qing immediately lowered her head, blushing as she muttered, ”I’m sorry...”

”It is the same for me; I didn’t notice someone in front.”

The young man rubbed the back of his head, appearing somewhat embarrassed as well.

Then, both of them laughed in unison.

”Meeting is fate. My name is Young Master Xiao Zimo, and I am from out of town, here in Li Kingdom for sightseeing.”

The white-clad young man smiled and reached out to pull Luo Qing, who was sitting on the ground, up.

As their fingertips touched, the young girl’s heart hammered like thunder.

”I... my name is Luo Qing, and I am... a local.”

The girl stuttered, looking as if she were not very bright.

Young Master Xiao Zimo examined the girl in front of him. With willow-leaf eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, she was beautiful, dressed in green, and carried the unique aura of a young girl.

But for Young Master Xiao Zimo, who was used to seeing Saintesses and Mystic Maidens, the girl’s appearance could only be considered passable. If her family background were better, she would have no problem working as a maid in the Xiao Clan.

”Since you are from Li Kingdom, Miss, would it be convenient for you to introduce me to the surrounding places of interest?”

Young Master Xiao Zimo’s face was full of sincerity, which, combined with that peerless appearance, made it very hard to refuse.

”Mm...” Luo Qing’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s hum.

Afterwards, the two walked along the lake together. Under Young Master Xiao Zimo’s constant guidance, the girl let go of her stiffness.
