Chapter 712: Chapter 693: Recall Nan Yi and Nan Er (Additional 1)
Bu Cuoyang was greatly shocked, but still feigned composure and asked.
“Patron Lin, Master Huiming isn’t here. Do you want me to convey another message to him?”
Seeing Bu Cuoyang playing dumb, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Leader, you are Master Huiming, and Master Huiming is you. I already know everything; the birthmark on your right palm is the best evidence.”
Lin Yi unreservedly spoke of all the evidence he had found that Bu Cuoyang was indeed Master Huiming.
After being unmasked, Bu Cuoyang heaved a long sigh, slowly unwrapping the layers of gauze around his head.
There appeared an old man with half of his face burned and disfigured, red-eyed, looking at Lin Yi.
“That year, I was out wandering and nearly perished in a great fire. It was Sang Ya’s mother who saved me, and that’s why I feel such guilt towards Sang Ya.”
Lin Yi stared blankly at this face marred by burns, finally understanding why Bu Cuoyang placed such importance on Sang Ya.
Since they were opening up their hearts, Lin Yi was not stingy either.
“Leader, what happened today with Lady Ouyang indeed caused you embarrassment. As compensation, Luoyang Mountain will still offer ten times more jade to Puyun Temple than what Lady Ouyang promised.”
“Thank you for granting me the right of passage off the water for half a year.”
For Lin Yi, half a year was enough time to transport ten thousand tons of jade back to Jiannan State in You Country.
While Bu Cuoyang was overjoyed at regaining ten times more jade than expected, his thoughts now drifted to Ouyang Qian, and his heart softened once more.
“Patron Lin, could you please spare Lady Ouyang? Even though Ouyang Qian is not Sang Ya, I’ve always considered her as Sang Ya. I wish for that girl to be happy.”
Lin Yi nodded, promising that Lady Ouyang would return to her original appearance the next day.
After speaking, Lin Yi returned to his guest room to rest.
Back in his room, Lin Yi couldn’t even rest before he provided deep education to Lady Ouyang via Bluetooth headset.
Lady Ouyang, driven mad with desperation, once again heard the voice of the “Divine,” cooperated obediently, and confessed all the wrongdoings she had committed over decades.
Lady Ouyang’s status in the hearts of the people of Lingyun City had changed; they no longer believed in her.
Therefore, Lin Yi suggested that Lady Ouyang voluntarily step down and let either Ouyang Qian or Ouyang Xiao take over managing the Ouyang Family’s mines.
Without hesitation, Lady Ouyang agreed, and according to the “Divine’s” command, she stopped skimming from the miners’ wages. On the contrary, she even substantially increased their treatment.
“Lady Ouyang, this is your last chance. If you dare to do anything dishonest again, no one will be able to save you.”
“There is a cup of ‘Water of Redemption’ on the table. Drink it, then go to sleep, and when you wake up in the morning, you’ll be a changed person.”
Lady Ouyang immediately got out of bed, picked up the ‘Water of Redemption,’ and guzzled it down.
That night, Ouyang Qian guarded over her mother, waiting for dawn to come.
The next day, Lady Ouyang awoke from her dream with a smile, long after sunrise.
“Qian’er, Qian’er, where is your brother? Come here, all of you.”
Ouyang Qian looked at her mother, who seemed to have genuinely recovered, and she was incredibly excited.
At this moment, a family servant came to deliver a message, saying that Divine Doctor Lin had sent some medicine for Lady Ouyang.
Ouyang Qian hastened to accept it, wishing to personally prepare it for her mother.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi woke up and strolled around the temple for a few turns.
Bu Cuoyang might have risked being accused of treason by granting passage rights by Lishui River for half a year. Lin Yi felt the need to reciprocate this kindness.

After delivering these Buddha statues to Bu Cuoyang, Gao Wu also hurried over non-stop.
After obtaining the dashcam footage, Lin Yi went back to his room to study it closely.
By extracting specific frames, Lin Yi preserved all the scenes where the Snake Queen appeared.
“Heh heh, the footage where the Snake Queen gave me the Sun God Bronze Plate is still there, that’s great.”
After developing the processed photos, Lin Yi took them to Bu Cuoyang.
“Leader, these are all images of Sang Ya.” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⟡fire.net
Bu Cuoyang’s face turned pale looking at the photos of Sang Ya riding on a python as big as a basket.
“Just by these images alone, I don’t believe it, Sang Ya couldn’t possibly be living at Snake Mountain.”
Bu Cuoyang was anguished; even though he could clearly see the mole on Sang Ya’s left palm when comparing the images, he still refused to believe that the Snake Queen was Sang Ya.
That mole was planted by Bu Cuoyang himself as a way to remember Sang Ya, and in memory of her, he also planted a mole in the center of his own right palm.
Seeing that he couldn’t convince Bu Cuoyang, Lin Yi had no choice but to invite him back to his own bedroom to show him the edited video clips.
“What you will see here is exactly what happened at that time.”
After Lin Yi vaguely explained, Bu Cuoyang was already scared pale, accompanied by his cries, and the video also recorded Sang Ya’s cries.
Bu Cuoyang had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.
“Thank you, Lin Yi, for helping me fulfill my wish. If there is anything you need from me in the future, just ask.”
After saying these words, Bu Cuoyang left as if his soul had left his body.
At the same time, Lin Yi also breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving the matter at Lishui.
In the following days, as long as he waits quietly for Dongpo Village to dig up ten thousand tonnes of jade, he would be able to return to You Country.
With the jade and transportation matters settled, and a rare chance to relax, Lin Yi decided to stroll along Lishui to check out the route back home for future reference.
The off-road vehicle sped along, and the passing scenery was pleasing to the eye, but Lin Yi felt something was missing.
“Right, how could I forget about Nan Yi and the others?”
Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately notified Nan Yi and the others to gather at Puyun Temple.
The Lishui River’s current was rapid; flowing from Nan Zhao Country to Jiannan State was downstream, but it could be dangerous if they encountered strong winds and waves.
‘The jade must be transported back to You Country without any failures; it’s time for Nan Yi and the others to receive some proper training.’
Traveling down along Lijiang, Lin Yi bought five large wooden boats from some experienced fishermen and spent a lot of money to have them paddle to the Lishui River near Puyun Temple to wait.
Four hours later, Nan Yi and the others rode their steeds to meet up with Lin Yi at the Lishui River.
“Nan Yi and Nan Er, you’ve worked hard these days. For the next seven days, each of you will row a boat down Lishui. After three days, return to this spot to wait for me.”
“The main purpose is for you to familiarize yourselves with the waterway. In seven days, the jade from Dongpo Village will be transported back to You Country in large quantities.”
“And you all will be the great heroes responsible for piloting the boats and transporting the jade back to You Country!”
Hearing that they were returning to You Country, Nan Yi and company were thrilled, excitedly hopping into the boats.
Lin Yi gave each of them 500 taels of silver and enough food, instructing them to set off immediately.
This was Lin Yi’s ultimate purpose for traveling thousands of miles to bring Nan Yi and the other four people to Nan Zhao Country.
The jade had to be pulled back; for such a task, Lin Yi trusted no one more than his own men.
Watching the figures of Nan Yi and the others disappearing into the distance, Lin Yi was filled with emotions, knowing that it wouldn’t be long before he too could return and reunite with his Emperor wife.
Lost in thought, Lin Yi was suddenly startled by the sound of rushing hoofbeats from behind.
“Young Master Lin, long time no see, I hope all is well.”
