Woman: "You're interrogating , what right do you have..."
Li Zhiyuan raised his hand again, as if about to knock.
Xin Jiyue: "From Chaoshan, no sect or school."
Li Zhiyuan: "Lying."
Xin Jiyue: "I really am from Chaoshan!"
Li Zhiyuan: "The latter sentence."
Xin Jiyue: "I'm no longer part of the Eight Generals, I've been removed from the temple registry and can no longer receive the Lord of Yin."
Li Zhiyuan: "Continue."
Xin Jiyue: "But I still have a way to borrow so of Their power, through..."
Li Zhiyuan: "Through what?"
Xin Jiyue: "It's in my corset."
Li Zhiyuan stopped his hand and looked at Yin ng.
Yin ng crouched down, took out the corset, and handed it to the young man.
It was a very traditional style, and also a very traditional thod.
Li Zhiyuan pinched the corset with two fingers, as if handling sothing dirty.
Because it was concentrated with intense karma.
Those red dots were likely added later with fresh blood, each one a source of emitted karma.
Li Zhiyuan: "Who taught you to do this?"
Xin Jiyue: "What?"
Li Zhiyuan: "Tell ."
Xin Jiyue: "I am punishing evil and promoting good!"
Li Zhiyuan: "Hmm, I admit that's sort of true, but you also have ulterior motives, the person who taught you, does not deserve your secrecy."
From the start, Li Zhiyuan suspected Old Man Park of doing sothing wrong and facing revenge.
When Xin Jiyue appeared, it confird the young man's suspicions, but after contact and inquiry, Li Zhiyuan keenly realized that Xin Jiyue was not the kind of Mystical Sect knight with traditional simple justice values.
People in the Mystical Sect aren't forbidden from acting against ordinary people, but they usually find a reason to avoid the taboos of the Heavenly Dao. This reason isn't hard to find, it's possible to fabricate one.
Xin Jiyue encountered that vengeful spirit and then took retribution against Old Man Park, which made sense; using Old Man Park's descendants to cast curses was a bit extre, causing collateral damage... but it's understandable.
However, the myriad of red dots on this cloth implies that she didn't act on whim or chance, she truly considered herself a Mystical Sect Judge, conducting extraordinary deeds under non-human rules.
It wasn't a re obsession; it was as if she treated it as a career, and doing this more often, the causal effects naturally backfired, the karma fell upon herself, and she not only wasn't afraid, but collected the karma.
Xin Jiyue: "All I know is, after I was expelled from the temple, he took in and gave a second chance, I can't..."
Li Zhiyuan: "If you truly think he's right, then why keep it a secret?"
Xin Jiyue: "I..."
Li Zhiyuan: "Actually, you know in your heart what you're doing, and you can feel there's sothing wrong with the thods he taught. Once this cloth is filled, you're supposed to hand it over to him, right?"
Xin Jiyue: "That's correct."
Li Zhiyuan: "I've said there's a misunderstanding between us, if earlier you had stood there without acting and waited for to co over, this fight wouldn't have happened at all.
I can let you go, and I can ignore Old Man Park's matter, but I'm very curious about that person."
People would go out of their way to avoid karma, yet soone voluntarily spreads people to collect it.
Xin Jiyue showed hesitation.
Li Zhiyuan snapped his fingers lightly beside her ear.
Xin Jiyue appeared baffled and said: "I've never seen his true face, but once the cloth is filled, it's delivered to the Qiu Mansion."
"Qiu Mansion, where is it?"
"Zhoushan, Heartless Island."
After answering, Xin Jiyue asked in surprise: "What did I just... say?"
Li Zhiyuan: "You said nothing, you have a tough mouth."
The young man waved his hand.
Run Sheng let go of the woman's restraints.
Xin Jiyue clutched her chest, puzzled, as she got back up.
Li Zhiyuan tossed the corset back to her, and Xin Jiyue caught it, asking, "You're letting leave?"
"If you haven't eaten, you're welco to stay for dinner."
"That damned Park..."
"Just go."
Xin Jiyue dared not say more, carefully putting away the corset, and hurriedly left, looking back frequently.
Yin ng asked: "Brother Xiao Yuan, is it Langhua?"
If it's Langhua, it's pretty early, and she just saw the latest "Walking River Behavior Regulations", Brother Xiao Yuan wrote: nothing sudden should occur with Jiang Shui next.
Li Zhiyuan: "Hard to say, but it's possible."
Zhoushan, Heartless Island, Qiu Mansion.
Jiang Shui not initiating sudden assaults and Jiang Shui giving you Langhua earlier are not contradictory.
If it wants to drive you to solve problems, then giving you clues early and allowing ample preparation ti is understandable.
But this "favor" cos at a cost, the more it does so, the more it ans the next wave's difficulty will increase.
"Let's go back."
The funeral for the Park family was still ongoing.
After eating, the band mbers originally intended for the mourning put on Daoist robes and began the ritual, with Li Sanjiang holding the Peach Wood Sword, leading the way like an experienced guide.
The scene was lively and noisy, Xiong Shan, Run Sheng, and the others were called by Li Sanjiang to beat gongs and drums, and the sound system played accompanying music.
The music was richly layered, including wailing sounds, scripture chanting, and even background viewers' voices, with n speaking and children laughing and screaming.
Despite the Park family not having many mourners, and the village losing interest after watching the morning performance, they sohow created the illusion of a bustling crowd.
Li Zhiyuan had a wooden fish in front of him, tapping along to the rhythm, and the Grandmaster placed a coverless "Room Secret Techniques" book in front of him, indicating he should move his mouth and recite it casually.
