Chapter 132: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 132: Utterance Follows the Law
"Eclipse?"
Chen Xue looked at the sudden darkness in the sky, the sun obscured by unknown means, and two words immediately came to her mind.
However, although she was aware of this astronomical phenomenon, others were not.
Especially those people just now, they witnessed Chen Xue getting angry, and then the sky darkened instantly.
They immediately thought it was a divine punishment, believing that they had angered a deity, hence the situation.
As a result, they all knelt down to plead with Chen Xue for forgiveness, fearing her divine wrath.
Others, frightened by the sudden darkness, also knelt down in fear upon hearing their voices, learning the details, and seeking forgiveness.
Seeing the prisoners kneeling and begging for mercy, Chen Xue was perplexed. She quickly explained to them that it was an eclipse and had nothing to do with her.
However, these people were ignorant and didn't believe her at all.
"Alright, alright, I forgive you!"
In the end, Chen Xue was somewhat helpless and waved her hand dismissively. However, the others didn't seem to hear her clearly.
Chen Xue had to take out a megaphone and shouted at them, "Enough, I forgive you!"
The sudden shout startled everyone.
Coincidentally, as soon as Chen Xue's shout ended, the previously dark surroundings began to brighten up.
In the blink of an eye, it returned to a clear sky, as if nothing had happened.
"This..."
The crowd and Chen Xue exchanged glances. Then, the people turned to look at Chen Xue, their expressions seemingly saying, "Is it really not her doing?"
Just now, when she got angry, the sky darkened, and as soon as she said she forgave everyone, the sky immediately brightened. How could this not be attributed to Chen Xue?
After all, this was simply a miracle!
Only an immortal could achieve such a feat.
The people became even more convinced in their hearts that Chen Xue was a disciple of immortals, or perhaps even a reincarnated immortal.
Initially, they wanted to cozy up to her, but after witnessing Chen Xue's miracle, they didn't dare to entertain such thoughts anymore.
Chen Xue: "…………"
She felt like she was digging herself into a deeper hole with each explanation, completely unable to clarify the situation.
Oh well!
It didn't harm her anyway. Since they were in awe of her, they wouldn't cause any trouble.
When Chen Xue returned to the carriage, her family surrounded her. Their faces were filled with admiration, especially Xiao Die, who looked like a devoted fan.
"Miss, you're amazing!"
"It's nothing, I..."
Facing her family, Chen Xue naturally wouldn't lie. She explained the situation to them, but while Chen Yuan understood, Xiao Die seemed oblivious, still adoring Chen Xue as before.
"Liar!"
Among the crowd of prisoners, Zhang Yiquan stood dumbfounded in place. Ever since the bandits attacked the convoy, the Chen family had changed.
Perhaps it was because of the bandits that the seals on the Chen family had been lifted, otherwise, how could they become so powerful?
Magic?
Miracles?
Just one of these would shock the world, yet both happened to the Chen family.
With this, how could he seek revenge?
Zhang Yiquan felt somewhat unwilling, but he had to suppress his hatred. Revenge could wait, it was not too late even after ten years. He refused to believe that he couldn't find an opportunity, couldn't find the Chen family's weakness.
Chen Xue's display of a miracle was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, shocking and terrifying all the prisoners who had witnessed it.
They had personally experienced it.
The sudden darkness enveloping the world, where they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces, let alone the people around them. How could it not be terrifying? It was definitely a sign of divine wrath.
However, the reality was completely different from what they had guessed. It wasn't divine wrath but Chen Xue's anger.
This shocked them even more.
Initially, they didn't believe it, but after hearing Chen Xue say she forgave everyone and seeing the sky immediately brighten, they had to believe.
Even though many of them were far away at the time, they heard Chen Xue's voice and indeed, when she finished forgiving everyone, the sky brightened.
At that moment, everyone in the convoy thought of the legends. Chen Xue might really be an immortal.
After this incident, everyone dared not to harbor any ill will towards the Chen family.
Chen Xue was not affected by this incident. She continued to eat and sleep as before.
Occasionally, she would come out to ski.
The prisoners, seeing Chen Xue flying around on the snow, had become accustomed to it, feeling numb to it.
They believed that Chen Xue was an immortal. Flying was normal for her; not flying would be abnormal.
A few days later, the convoy finally arrived at the next county.
Naturally, Chen Xue needed to go into the county to purchase supplies. Chen Yuan was worried about her going alone, so he insisted on accompanying her.
Madam Chen, not trusting Chen Yuan, also insisted on going with them.
As for Xiao Die, she didn't trust Chen Xue to go alone either, so she was forcibly dragged along by Chen Xue.
And so, the entire Chen family went into the city.
Before leaving, Chen Xue went to the front of the convoy.
Seeing Chen Xue appear, everyone immediately fell silent, looking at her with fear. The lively chatter that had been going on ceased as soon as Chen Xue showed up.
Ignoring them, Chen Xue looked at Xu Tian. "You can find the county magistrate and ask him to send some bailiffs to help."
"Then let these people enter the city in batches to purchase the supplies they need, so they won't freeze or starve on the road later."
Chen Xue's voice was loud, and even the prisoners nearby heard it. They were immediately excited, looking at Chen Xue with gratitude.
Truly, she was compassionate.
They had misunderstood the Chen family before, and misunderstood Chen Xue.
They were all good people.
Good people would live in peace for their whole lives!
"Of course," Chen Xue continued, "Some people deserve their punishment and cannot enter the city!"
With this statement, the excitement in the hearts of the crowd immediately cooled down like a bucket of cold water.
They wanted to retort, but when they looked at Chen Xue, their anger subsided.
Xu Tian was momentarily stunned, then nodded excitedly. He hadn't thought of this. Letting them purchase supplies themselves would save them the trouble of helping, and they wouldn't have to work so hard for no thanks.
Zhang Yiquan was also in the queue to enter the city. Originally, he didn't have the qualifications, but since Chen Xue left, Xu Tian gave him a list, which indicated who was innocent and who deserved punishment.
This information had been investigated by Chen Yuan long ago through Xie Yunshang and passed back through Xiaoqing.
Returning to the main topic, Zhang Yiquan originally didn't qualify, but he was holding his son and his crazy wife beside him, kneeling and begging Xu Tian to let him take his wife to see a doctor.
Xu Tian knew about Zhang Yiquan's son almost dying and his wife going mad, so he softened his heart and agreed.
He also knew that the Zhang family was the culprit behind the Chen family's current situation, but thinking that the Chen family was willing to extend a helping hand to Zhang Yiquan's son, as a disciple of the Chen family, how could he stop Zhang Yiquan from taking his wife to see a doctor?
However, on the way, Zhang Yiquan encountered an acquaintance, which gave him ideas on how to deal with the Chen family.
