Chapter 985: Chapter 785: Have You Always Thought I Was Lying?

Not knowing how much time had passed, Nan Feng opened her eyes and saw Yege sitting in front of her, which immediately gave her a sense of relief.

"Fengfeng, it’s all okay now," Yege held Nan Feng’s hand with a gentle voice, but Nan Feng could tell there was still a hint of anger mixed with his concern.

"Yege..." Nan Feng looked around; they were still in their original dwelling, "Was it you who saved me?"

"Yes, had I not arrived a step earlier, you would now be in Dashun. From now on, heed my words, do not go meet anyone who asks for you. Do not ever leave my side again!"

His expression was very serious.

All Nan Feng could do was weakly apologize to Yege, "I’m sorry, Yege, I really shouldn’t have run off. However, this time it was the Dowager Empress’s command, and moreover, it was that palace maid who usually attends to me who was scheming behind my back—there was no way to guard against it."

Then Nan Feng added another sentence, "But now, I’m happy to be able to see you, and I promise, I won’t ever run off again!"

"Fengfeng, it’s good that you’re safe. Do you know how worried I was about losing you?" Yege was still overtaken by residual fear.

Nan Feng struggled to sit up and move closer into Yege’s arms, "Do you know why the Dowager Empress had me bound and taken away?"

Afterward, Nan Feng recounted her experience at the sorcerer’s location.

Yege was also angry, "The sorcerer has already been dealt with by the Emperor, and he confessed as well, more or less what you told me. The whole affair is preposterous; he claimed he wanted to summon your ghost out. Fengfeng, you are yourself, not some ghost possessing a body."

Yet Nan Feng looked at Yege with a trace of doubt in her eyes, "Yege, I remember telling you all about my hometown, I am indeed not the Nan Feng of before; could it be that you’ve never believed me?"

"Fengfeng..." Yege paused momentarily.

It wasn’t until then that he began to reconsider Nan Feng’s situation more carefully.

Could it be there actually were spirits that could possess bodies in this world?

"When I was with the sorcerer just now, he chanted spells to drive me out of this body, and I felt myself very nearly drifting far away, but then for some reason I came back," Nan Feng said with certainty as she looked at Yege.

"Fengfeng, don’t think too much about it," Yege said, even though the situation was peculiar, he didn’t want to speculate about Nan Feng in this way.

"It’s true," Nan Feng looked up at Yege, her eyes filled with hope, "Yege, have you always felt that I was lying?"

Yege hesitated for a moment: "No, I believe you, but... I just don’t believe that sorcerer!"

Yes, that made sense.

"Do you really believe, or are you just saying that?" Nan Feng was half-doubtful.

"I really believe," Yege felt it was best to not worry about all that for now and to just make sure Nan Feng was appeased instead.

...

In the Palace.

The Emperor had the sorcerer kneeling before him.

"As the most qualified sorcerer in the Qintian Bureau, why did you engage in soul banishing, a deception only a charlatan would perform?" the Emperor asked coldly.

The sorcerer who always claimed to understand fate, knowing what was a blessing and what was a curse and that one couldn’t avoid the latter, did not plead for mercy, but simply said, "Your Majesty, I have studied the stars, divined the good and bad fortunes, and am highly skilled in interpreting I Ching. I dare assert that she is no imposter; she truly is the original lady from Daping Village. But this Lady Nan Feng is no longer the same Lady Nan Feng from before!"

"Clarify your words!"

"Your Majesty, that is to say, her physical body remained unchanged, she is still the original lady, but three years ago she experienced a disaster. Spiritual Qi attached to her, her three souls and six spirits returned to their rightful place, and that’s why she is no longer the simpleton she used to be."
