Chapter 1715: Chapter 1714: Trade

Bei Yun had no one to guide him. At the critical age when his worldview and values were being shaped, he encountered that master, who dealt him the heaviest blow. From that moment on, he became a beast, harboring only hatred—hatred for the divine order, hatred for the world, hatred for everyone.

He wanted to kill.

He wanted to kill all those who displeased him.

Over the past decades, he himself couldn’t even remember how many people he had killed.

Qiao Xiaomai’s appearance was far too late.

The blood on his hands and the sins he carried could no longer be washed away.

“It’s not too late—not late at all,” Qiao Xiaomai, seeing his current state and knowing his heart was stirred, quickly said, “As long as you’re willing to change, it’s never too late.”

“Lingsu decided to offer free medical care to the people of Daqi in order to offset the sins you committed before. You can do the same. If you dedicate your remaining life to doing good, you can be forgiven.”

Yes, but if Bei Yun lived, then what about those he had killed? Who would redress their grievances?

However, Bei Yun was not entirely worthless. He possessed skills that were crucial to this era: medical expertise.

He was unparalleled in both medicine and poison, and his martial arts were exceptionally skilled. He mastered many skills. For someone like him to die outright would indeed be regrettable.

He could use his remaining life to treat people for free, to counterbalance his past sins with good deeds. If he genuinely did that, then she could give him a drop of Divine Liquid to cure the strange poison in his body.

Bei Lingsu felt a lingering guilt toward Bei Yun. The Bei family bore significant responsibility for Bei Yun’s deviation to his current path. Although Bei Lingsu had been relentlessly scolding Bei Yun earlier, Qiao Xiaomai knew that even if Bei Yun had truly caused an epidemic in Daqi, Bei Lingsu would not want him dead.

Bei Lingsu was the one with the softest heart; Bei Lingsu was the truly kind one.

Since that was the case, if Bei Yun was willing to change, she would be willing to provide the Divine Liquid.

Moreover, back then, she and Tong Sanlang had been pondering what kind of good deeds could speed up the appearance of the Divine Liquid. At the time, she and Tong Sanlang had brainstormed a few ideas. They could go seek out cotton. If cotton were to appear, the citizens of Daqi could completely resolve the issue of keeping warm. That would be a major contribution, and the Divine Liquid would likely emerge.

Another idea was to stop the war between Daqi and the Three Kingdoms. War inevitably led to death. If they could subdue the enemy without fighting, ending the conflict without casualties, then that achievement would be immense, and the divine order might grant the appearance of the Divine Liquid.

Now, this beast Bei Yun seemed to have gained some new insight and emotional stirrings about life. She could take the opportunity to sway him.

If Bei Yun no longer wanted to fight, then this war would effectively be over.

“If I spend the rest of my life doing good deeds, how much of my past sins can be forgiven?” Bei Yun finally spoke after a long silence, his tone steeped in doubt.

Qiao Xiaomai nodded heavily, “Of course, I wish you dead, to use your death to honor those you’ve harmed. But Lingsu definitely doesn’t want you to die. For Lingsu’s sake, I’m willing to ask Madam Gu for a drop of Divine Liquid.”

“Don’t you not have Divine Liquid from Madam Gu right now?”

“But I have Floral Dew, which can suppress the poison in your body. You don’t need to worry about that—for now, the poison won’t act up in your body.”

“Then for the rest of my life, will I have to live like I did in the Capital City, monitored by others, offering free consultations at a stall?” Bei Yun asked again.

“After committing so many sins, you still expect to live a comfortable life?”
