2024-10-29 19:42:56"Abbot, she is lying… her phoenix hairpin is clearly on her… when I was being indecently assaulted by her, she even used her hairpin to threaten me!"
Monk Yihan quickly made excuses, but Hua Qiyue was waiting for this.
She was as calm as water, leisurely saying, "Master Hanming, the phoenix hairpin isn't on me. If you don't believe me, please ask a female pilgrim to do a body search!"
Her words were like a clap of thunder, scaring both Hua Mengshi and Lanzhu.
Lanzhu blinked and whispered to Hua Mengshi. Her pale face slowly regained its calm expression.
Master Hanming was the abbot here, and Hua Qiyue's suggestion was the only way to determine who was telling the truth.
The abbot asked one of the female pilgrims in the crowd to search on Hua Qiyue's body.
Youshui returned with a bowl of warm water in a panic. The young miss had been framed many times, but if she was found guilty this time, no one would dare to marry her, and knowing Hua Qiyue, she would likely commit suicide.
Hua Qiyue took the bowl of water and drank to ease her parched throat.
After a while, the pilgrim who had personally searched on Hua Qiyue's body groped around in confusion, shaking her head and said, "Master, I couldn't find the phoenix hairpin."
Hua Mengshi's expression did not change as she indifferently looked at Lanzhu who was standing beside her.
Lanzhu's eyes were widened as she looked at Hua Qiyue in disbelief.
Monk Yihan screamed, "Impossible, impossible!"
Master Hanming frowned. Hanyue Temple was a famous temple in Changjing City, and there was an endless stream of pilgrims every day. Until tonight, there hadn’t been a single disgraceful incident in two hundred years!
Moreover, the situation was not as simple as it appeared to be.
Abbot Hanming asked his men to search Monk Yihan, but a cold voice stopped him.
"There's no need to search him, abbot. I know who took my phoenix hairpin away. It was my second young sister's maid, Lanzhu!"
Hua Qiyue pointed at Lanzhu, her eyes like ice, her face like frost, her body emitting an invisible cold and prideful aura of extreme confidence.
Lanzhu's face was deathly pale, but after receiving Hua Mengshi's comforting look, she calmed herself.
"Eldest Miss, why would you slander me! How would dare I to steal your phoenix hairpin? " Lanzhu lowered her eyes to avoid Hua Qiyue’s icy stare.
"Abbot Hanming, please search Lanzhu immediately. My phoenix hairpin must on her!" Hua Qiyue was too lazy to talk nonsense with Lanzhu and directly asked the abbot.
She knew that Abbot Hanming was a righteous leader. Anyone who made trouble here was courting death.
"Miss, may I trouble you to search Miss Lan? This matter happened in my temple, so I must uphold justice. If I offend the Second Miss, I hope that she will forgive me," Hanming said to Hua Mengshi in a low voice.
Hua Mengshi immediately shook her head, " Not at all, abbot, let your people search. Lanzhu is innocent; she has nothing to be afraid of."
While she was speaking, the pilgrim began searching Lanzhu and cried out as she took out the phoenix hairpin from Lanzhu's belt!
That phoenix hairpin shone with a cold light under the light of lamp. Everyone gasped, and Lanzhu's face turned deathly pale!
She had never thought that she would have the hairpin on her! Lanzhu had put the hairpin back on Hua Qiyue when she and Monk Yihan had knocked her out.
"Lanzhu, you… how dare you do such a thing!" Before Lanzhu could regain her senses, Hua Mengshi took the initiative, pointing at her in shock.
Lanzhu was so frightened that she got down on her knees, "Second Miss, please help me! I have never done such a despicable thing … It must be that when the Eldest Miss told me to go over and help her, she put it on me! "
Everyone looked at Lanzhu, then at Hua Qiyue. They didn’t know who to believe.
Hua Qiyue smiled, and Hua Mengshi's heart trembled. Why did it seem like Hua Qiyue had changed into another person after she woke up? She was clearly a cowardly person. In the past, whenever she was in trouble, she would tremble and shrink away!
But now, Hua Qiyue's eyes seemed to be alive with electricity!
"It's not just the hairpin, I happened to see the thief's face when I was chasing them. That person's face was as white as a dead man's, and there was even some powder on the ground. Look!" Hua Qiyue pointed with her finger, and everyone looked down at a smudge of white powder.

"This is flour. The thief was pretending to be mysterious, so she used flour to cover her face. There is also some flour on Lanzhu's purple clothes."Right after Hua Qiyue finished speaking, the pilgrim pulled Lanzhu's sleeves. "Yes, her sleeves … even between her fingers! "The room fell silent.Lanzhu's face turned pale, and she kowtowed heavily, "It's not me … Second Miss, it's really not me … "Hua Qiyue's eyes were like lightning. "If I don't miss my guess, Monk Yihan accepted a bribe. The Hua family's silver usually has a small inscription on it. Monk Yihan, do you dare to let the male pilgrim search you?"Sweat trickled down his palms as Yihan looked at Hua Mengshi and straightened his waist. "Abbot! I was wronged!"His entire body trembling, he was the picture of guilt.Abbot Hanming's expression darkened. "Someone, search him!"A monk grabbed Yihan and conducted a quick s

Rong Qiyue lowered her head and thought, "Hua Qiyue, rest in peace. I have borrowed your body, and I will do my best to honor you!" The heaviness on her heart lessened, and she sighed in relief.Hua Qiyue looked down as her fingers brushed something cold at her waist. When she pulled it out to examine it more closely, she found it was a green jade gourd pendant. She didn't know why, but she felt attached to it, somehow.When she saw Hua Qiyue looking at the green jade gourd with such a serious expression, Lv Xin couldn't help asking, "Eldest Miss, what are you doing?" Since Hua Qiyue had been knocked unconscious last night, she seemed to have become a completely different person. You Shui and Lv Xin found it very strange, but it seemed that Hua Qiyue's observational skills had greatly improved. Not only had she seen the flour on Lanzhu’s purple clothes, which would be obvious to anyone looking for it, she could even see the powder on Lanzhu's
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 8 Who is he?
"You're finally here." The man laughed, his expression filled with emotion. "After 500 years, someone has finally come to see me. The stuff made by those old men were so evil that no one actually dared to take it, but here you are."His eyes overflowed with light as his gaze locked onto Hua Qiyue's body. She did her best to remain calm but couldn’t shake the feeling that he was plotting something.Everything was so strange, and she was unable to explain what was going on."What is this place? And you... who are you? Why am I here?" she asked in a low voice.The man laughed seductively. His footsteps were light, but in the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of Hua Qiyue.His jet-black eyes were shining with strange red light, Hua Qiyue felt her hand being held, and a strange fragrant smell was making her dizzy.The man's husky voice was like a rock thrown into the cold lake of Hua Qiyue's heart.
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 9: Setting A Trap
Hua Qiyue had heard of the Insanity Technique from this body’s previous memories. Qi Artists were rare, and Soul Takers even more so. It was said that there were only three Soul Takers on Tianyuan Continent.One Soul Taker could kill tens of thousands of soldiers in an instant! Just one move of a finger could cause thousands of soldiers to run away in fear!As a result, countless people who attempted to take the Insanity Technique book from them were killed. As time passed, no one dared to challenge them. Eventually, the three Soul Takers moved deep within the mountains. Their families were prosperous, and they had countless treasures, but no one dared to lay a finger on them.But how could this mysterious man in front of her possibly know the Insanity Technique? And if he was really that strong, why would he impart the knowledge to her?What was his purpose? Who was he? What was the truth behind the green jade gourd?
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 10: Going Home
Within hours of Hua Qiyue returning home, the news that she wanted to adopt a foster son spread all over the capital. All of the commoners were talking about it. If a child could be adopted by the Hua family, he would surely have a great future.What happened in the Hanyue Temple was widely spread by storytellers, with embellishments from some of the pilgrims who’d witnessed the scene. It seemed Hua Qiyue’s bad reputation was quickly being forgotten.Hua Qiyue told Youshui to have a master write a notice about the adoption.Once Hua Mengshi returned, she informed the Old Madam that Hua Qiyue had her hairpin stolen in the Hanyue Temple and been framed for flirting with a monk. She also punished Lanzhu with fifty lashes.The Old Madam flew into a rage. A servant framing a noble lady? It was unheard of!For having the courage to confess her servant’s mistake, the Old Madam forgave Hua Mengshi, only fining her two months'
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 11: Metamorphosis
The Madam Dowager was surprised. In the past, when Hua Qiyue came to see her, the girl stuttered and shivered, as if she had seen a tigress who was going to eat her.But today, she looked elegant and beautiful. Seeing her gaunt face, the Madam Dowager thought of how she had neglected her in the past and felt sorry for her."Yue'er, sit down. I know you were wronged. Don’t be scared."The Madam Dowager Hua was a kind-hearted woman, and she felt guilty for how she'd treated Hua Qiyue over the years. The girl had always been scared of her, and she'd just never known how to respond."Grandmother, I’m sorry to make you worry about me. I was unfilial. On my way home, I bought fresh sea cucumbers for you. They were difficult to get, and only the Master Xuanji in the Rongfu Temple had managed to get some. The sea cucumbers can nourish the blood and the face. You have done so much for this family. We should thank you."Hua Meng
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 12: Her Ex-husband
The Madam Dowager had always paid little attention to Hua Qiyue, but it didn't mean that others could bully her mercilessly. She hadn't expected that her negligence would cause her granddaughter such a miserable life. No one had told her!Nanny Wang, who worked for the Second Concubine, knelt down immediately when she heard this, saying, "Please forgive me… I was greedy. I saw the eldest miss being bullied by others, so I secretly took away her money… I kept it a secret from the Second Concubine. I didn't expect my crimes to be revealed today. I deserve to die…"The Second Concubine gave her a fierce slap on the face, "Damn servant! How could you treat her like this?"Hua Qiyue looked at all of this coldly. She knew the nanny only took her money because the Second Concubine told her to. The nanny was quite loyal — if Hua Qiyue wanted to get rid of the Second Concubine, she had to get rid of this nanny first, or make her work for her.

The Fiery Divine Tree wrapped its branches around the white jade vial. It was greatly shocked. "Is this... an Essence Pearl? Are you... are you imparting all your powers to her?" Tianpi raised his brows. "She's my disciple. So why not? If you won't do it, I still have enough energy to destroy this forest. You must know that I'm half-demonized. Even you won't be my match." The Fiery Divine Tree went silent. Then it sighed lightly. "Ah... Very well then, I shall make this trip for you. But... I'm still shocked by your act. This must be a penance over the Peach Fairy?" "Old fellow, you're a busybody!" Tianpi raised his brows, very displeased. A wicked smile hovered over his diabolically handsome face. "Set off at once. And don't tell her it's from me. Tell her it's your gift to her. That bird and that stinking lad won't know what it is..." The Fiery Divine Tree silently departed. Once it left, Tianpi leaned against the gigantic tr

"Mom, what's wrong?" While Hua Qiyue was frantically searching for Tianci, a familiar boyish voice made her turn her head at once. She saw Hua Zun pulling Tianci and watching her curiously. When he found Hua Qiyue all drenched in blood, Hua Zun was greatly shocked. Tianci hurriedly threw himself forward. Hua Qiyue saw him and embraced Tianci fiercely in her arms. "Go at once... go quickly. In a moment, he will be here, he will be here!" Hua Qiyue cried out in terror. Night had fallen. All around in the forest were dense, overlapping shadows. It seemed that Tianpi's figure was everywhere! He seemed to be here everywhere. His presence drove Hua Qiyue to extreme panic. "Qiyue, what's wrong? What happened?" Hua Zun was frightened and stunned. It took him a long time to recover. By then, Hua Qiyue had already lifted Tianci up and raced away from Hua Zun's sight. Hua Zun followed closely behind. They left
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 336 The Demonized Tianpi
"Qiyue is not willing to consummate our relationship, nor am I willing to hurt her. Even though I've demonized... I still retain a shred of sanity. Yun Shimo, don't you have a whiff of Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? Force that Qi out for me now!" Tianpi cruelly curled up the corners of his lips. He was laughing smugly, his bloodshot eyes glittering with chill. "Otherwise, I will do something you won't want to see..." After he said this, he kissed Hua Qiyue's raven hair. Yun Shimo suddenly and tightly clenched his fists. Hua Qiyue was gasping slightly. She had never expected Tianpi to act this way. If Yun Shimo refused, would he kill her? "Didn't you say you are unwilling to hurt her? So release her now! You want the Qi from the Purple Primordial Chaos Bead? I'll let you have it!" Yun Shimo did not hesitate at all. Although he hated Tianpi for acting so wickedly, he was even more afraid that Hua Qiyue wo
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 335 Confusion
She had said repeatedly that she would not marry Yun Shimo but Tianpi. Yet right now, she could not but be concerned over him. She was really a cheap slut! Hua Qiyue took a step back and left, heading for Ice Palace in a distraught state. She was afraid she would involuntarily go near him if she had stayed another second. Only after Hua Qiyue ran away did Yun Shimo slowly turned his body. He watched the direction from which she had left and smiled a bitter smile. He thought that she would still show him some care. But she could not overcome the hurdle in her heart. Forget it then! Let her do what she likes! Yun Shimo was already under the tree for a day and a night. His whole body had turned numb thanks to the cold. It it weren't for the anima energy inside his body, he would have frozen to death. After thinking for a day and a night, Yun Shimo came to a conclusion. Let Hua Qiyue live her life as she
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 334 Let's Get Married
On his arm was his blood-drenched robe. Hua Qiyue silently took them. "Let me wash it for you. Have a good rest." A blissful smile unfolded on Tianpi's pale face. "Haha, lass, you're so understanding. Thank you." Hua Qiyue rolled her eyes at him. They were already at their wits' end and yet he had the gall to joke with her. After washing his robe, she lay it out to dry in the sun. Then she went into the kitchen to heat up the tonic he had yet to finish and brought it to him. Tianpi had not yet fallen asleep. He was sitting cross-legged silently on his bed. When he heard the noise, Tianpi opened his eyes. He found Hua Qiyue had already brought him the soup. Pursing his lips, he gave a light smile. "Lass, you're more and more virtuous. Why don't we get married? After all, you won't accept Yun Shimo." It was a joke but it made Hua Qiyue crease her brows softly. She gave no answer, serving him the soup i
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 333 Resealing
The Sun Moon Deity fumbled inside his Storage Ring and finally fished out a scroll. Hua Qiyue immediately unfurled it. It contained a rune sealing art. Since she, Yun Shimo and the Sun Moon Deity all understood runes, it would not be too difficult to execute such a sealing art. "The requirement is that you must have reached the first level of Great Deity. I've just reached that level. So it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Hua Qiyue glanced at the scroll and then threw it to Tianpi. When Tianpi saw the procedure inside, his wan face showed indifference. "It doesn't matter. Let's try it." Hua Qiyue heard him and was exceptionally happy. After Tianpi had been resealed, he could come out after the demonic energy in his body cleared. Hua Zun was rather suspicious. "Will it work? The rune sealing art 10,000 years ago was very powerful. Hare, are you sure your scroll isn't a counterfeit?" The
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 332 Demonization?
Was that... the demonic energy? Wasn't there only a slight whiff of it? It seemed there was a lot of demonic energy. Hua Qiyue's heart began to worry. As Tianpi gave a muffled snort, her nerves began to tense. Red hair began to sprout slowly on Tianpi's face. He seemed like a monkey. He gave another muffled snort and a white circle of light condensed desperately in his hand. Tianpi struck that white light forcefully on his head. Instantly, the crimson light on his body waned somewhat. But his striking hand had opened up a large gash on his face. Blood trickled down... Hua Qiyue could not bear to look. She turned away her head forcefully and headed out. Tianpi claimed that he was fine in the day, but he was lying. He must have wanted her not to worry. After Hua Qiyue left, Tianpi managed successfully to curb that layer of demonic energy. But he knew that every midnight, he would suffer from its attack! When the dem
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 331 Finding Him Back
Hua Qiyue was gasping. She shook herself free of Yun Shimo's hand and her eyes were full of mounting anger. "He's already so poorly. So how can I not worry? Please get lost, Yun Shimo. It's none of your business!" Yun Shimo watched the exceptionally vexed Hua Qiyue and heaved a deep breath. "I will find him back." The moment Yun Shimo said this, Hua Zun also stepped out. "I will go too." He was afraid Yun Shimo would try some wicked scheme on Tianpi. Tianci pulled Hua Qiyue's hand. "Mom, I'd like to find Grandmaster too." "Be good, Tianci. We will stay here. In a moment, dad will bring your Grandmaster back." Yun Shimo glanced at Hua Qiyue and then departed Ice Palace with Hua Zun. Watching them disappear in an instant, Hua Qiyue's heart was disconcerted. Tianpi had left because he did not wish to harm her. But she was, after all, indebted to him for her reborn life. So how could she ju
The General’s Genius Daughter Chapter 330 He Vomited Blood
Hua Qiyue frowned and said, very displeased, "Do you guys have the habit of voyeurism?" Tianpi gave a light snort. "I merely can't stand you two. Since you won't accept another man, you might as well be with him." Hua Qiyue's emotions were suddenly stirred. "Who says I can't accept another man?" "You can? If you can, why treat Hua Zun so coldly? Why reject the others so completely?" Tianpi flatly curved up the corners of his lips. "Because I owe you too much in your former life, I won't force you now. I will respect whoever you choose. But you don't need to mind the past so much." Mind? Hua Qiyue's face sank. In Tianyuan Continent, women regarded their chastity as more important than their lives. Could Tianpi's mere words make her forgive the past? Tianpi started to wave his fan coquettishly. Hua Qiyue cursed him as a nutcase. The weather was so cold and yet he was playing with her Drunken Flower Fan!
