Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Didn't I tell you not to follow me?!"

A man who appeared to be a leading eunuch said, "His Majesty said that the rebellion has just been quelled, and he is afraid that something might happen to the Crown Prince, so he has ordered... that we accompany him." After saying this, he led the group to kneel down.

"Hey! Wait at the door!" Meng Xuanlang flicked his long sleeves and quickly walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, what just happened?" Luo Shiyi led Bai Zihua and Sheng Xiaomo into the hall and sat down on the chairs.

Lin Yaoxie sneered when he heard this, but said nothing.

Instead, Dongfang said somewhat sarcastically, "Perhaps His Majesty felt the night was just right and traveled a long way to see the scenery!"

Bai Zihua's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze seemed unfocused as he stared blankly ahead.

"It's alright, you should all go back and rest!" Lin Yaoxie said.

Qing Shui glanced at Luo Shiyi and then walked out first.

Sheng Xiaomo nodded to Luo Shiyi, indicating that he should also leave.

Luo Shiyi felt that the atmosphere was somewhat somber, and the group of them, being both disciples of Changliu and underlings of Lin Yaoxie, found themselves in an awkward position.

Moreover, even if they did have some kind of fight, there was nothing much they could do. So they pulled Meng Xuanlang, who still seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, out of the palace gate.

Now that you know everything, what are your plans?

Sheng Xiaomo's tone was not good, and he naturally understood that Lin Yaoxie's words implied that he was aware of Bai Zihua's murderous intent.

"Xiao Gu is, after all, a mortal body, even with some enhancements..."

As he spoke, Lin Yaoxie glanced at Bai Zihua.

Bai Zihua naturally knew what he meant. Now that he had been in the same room with Hua Qiangu for a long time, he felt that his internal energy was slowly being depleted. Was this the meaning of mutual generation and restraint on the Life Test Stone?

"But she is still just a mortal, so I would like to ask the esteemed Changliu Sect to help Xiaogu become a nominal disciple of Sect Leader Bai to help her recover from her injuries!"

Although his words implied a request for help, Lin Yaoxie's face showed an expression of complete entitlement.

"What! You knew perfectly well that Hua Qiangu was your senior brother's..."

Upon hearing this request, Sheng Xiaomo was about to explode!

This is unacceptable! He's clearly trying to ruin my senior brother's life!

"Sheng Xiaomo, right? Don't be too nervous. I'm doing this for your senior brother's own good," Lin Yaoxie said slowly.

“A life-or-death ordeal… Hahaha…” Bai Zihua suddenly laughed.

"You need to think this through. With Xiao Gu by Bao Si's side, Bai Zi Hua has no chance. Rather than letting him worry day and night, it's better to keep her under your nose."

Dongfang spoke deliberately, his implication being that everyone should know each other and their enemy.

"What if I don't want to?" Bai Zihua suddenly said, his gaze fixed on Lin Yaoxie.

"You probably don't understand what 'notification' means, rather than 'seeking your opinion'!" Lin Yaoxie said coldly.

Chapter Forty-Eight: Returning to Changliu

"Senior brother, how could you agree to that?" Sheng Xiaomo said helplessly. "If you really accept Hua Qiangu as a nominal disciple, then this life-or-death tribulation will truly be hanging over your neck every day!"

Bai Zihua just shook his head with a wry smile: "Do you think I still have a choice?"

Sheng Xiaomo also fell silent. When there is an absolute gap in strength, what's the point of disagreeing?

Even if this deal was forced upon them, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and bear it.

"Senior brother...sigh, you've really suffered!" Sheng Xiaomo comforted him.

"Actually, what he said isn't wrong. With him around, I couldn't touch Hua Qiangu. But similarly, if Zi Xun hadn't provoked me with old grievances today, I wouldn't have had the urge to kill him. It's my fault. I shouldn't have..."

"Innocent people should die unjustly!" Bai Zihua said.

"Senior brother, you're always making things difficult for yourself!" Sheng Xiaomo sighed. "You were acting out of good intentions, out of a sense of responsibility for all living beings!"

“He’s right. I have so many entanglements in my life that I can’t possibly sever ties with the world.”

Bai Zihua lowered his eyes. Although Lin Yaoxie's words were harsh and sharp, they really hit his weak spot.

"Brother Demon, do I really have to become that immortal's apprentice?"

Hua Qiangu's pale lips also indicated her weakness.

Tang Bao looked at her, slumped over the bed, and looked at Lin Yaoxie with some sadness.

“Your body is too weak. It’s like going to Changliu to recuperate. I need some time to find a spiritual medicine for you to cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones,” Lin Yaoxie said softly.

"Brother Demon, I don't want to leave you," Hua Qiangu said.

"My stay will be very short. I'll have them all go with you to Changliu to keep you company and keep you entertained. I'll be back in five or six days!" Lin Yaoxie comforted her. "You didn't get much rest tonight, and it's getting late. Go and get some rest. I'll be right at the door, don't be afraid!"

Although Hua Qiangu was extremely reluctant, her body was indeed fragile, and Shan Chunqiu's palm strike almost took her life.

After settling her in, Lin Yaoxie walked out of the palace gate.

Why did you suddenly do this?

A voice from the east suddenly rang out at the door; it seemed he had been waiting there all along.

"Haha, don't you understand?"

Lin Yaoxie looked at Dongfang with an amused expression, as if to say, "I've finally discovered that you also have things you can't figure out."

"You did this for Zixun?" Dongfang blurted out.

"Haha, why don't you think about how I did this for you? You've been dreaming of revenge, haven't you! I gave you the opportunity to get close to the enemy! Shouldn't you thank me?"

Lin Yaoxie couldn't explain his current thoughts either.

He only had a general idea about the relationships between the characters, but tonight he suddenly had a whimsical idea to gather them all together and see what kind of plot would be triggered.

This feeling is driven by a sense of curiosity, a mischievous impulse.

"You? You did this for me?" Dongfang looked at him with disbelief.

Lin Yaoxie is not a good person, so he doesn't do anything to help others. He always acts recklessly and does whatever he wants, but he certainly won't do anything to harm them.

"Are you going to Changliu with Hua Qiangu?" Dongfang asked, changing the subject.

"No, I need to go find Zi Xun to get the Marrow Cleansing Pill." Lin Yaoxie shook his head. "It will take three to five days at the earliest, and seven or eight days at the latest. So, you need to accompany Xiao Gu back to Changliu and help me take care of her."

Dongfang looked helpless: "Lin Yaoxie, you really don't treat me well at all! I, the dignified Pavilion Master of the Yixiu Pavilion, am here to be your bodyguard!"

"Don't be so absolute. Are you happy in the Different Immortal Pavilion? Aren't you happier with me?"

Lin Yaoxie chuckled and sat down on the steps outside the hall.

"I just feel that, given my reputation, Bai Zihua can't hurt her today, so he won't make a move again in the future. Besides, she hasn't recovered yet, and I'm worried that Qi Sha still has designs on her! Letting her go to Changliu will at least make that old bastard Mo Yan fear me and treat her well."

"You've thought things through quite thoroughly."

Dongfang also sat down, and the two of them got along quite well.

"This decision of mine was also made suddenly; I just did it as soon as I thought of it!" Lin Yaoxie suddenly withdrew all his arrogance.

These words, which sounded like an explanation, warmed Dongfang's heart.

“Bai Zihua is a very contradictory person,” Lin Yaoxie said again. “He seems to have taken on the responsibility of the world’s people, but he is also a troublemaker. He has thousands of thoughts in his mind, but he is confined to a box.”

0oo is asking for flowers.....

He's a very selfish person! Dongfang didn't agree with the contradiction Lin Yaoxie described; instead, he used even harsher language, "He wears the guise of protecting the common people, and masks loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness..."

What have those hats done? Aren't they all self-serving?

This blood feud can keep a person immersed in hatred for a long time.

“You are not me, you don’t understand what he means to me,” Dongfang said with a hateful voice.

"Then what do you want to do? Will you be free once you kill him?"

Lin Yaoxie looked down at his hands. He had traveled through various worlds like he was playing a video game, killing countless people and NPCs.

... 0

Having taken so many lives, I've come to realize that paying with one's own life doesn't make the person involved feel any better.

"I want him dead, but I want him to live a life worse than death."

Dongfang has been immersed in hatred for many years, so naturally he won't change his mind because of Lin Yaoxie's few words!

"Whatever you want!" Lin Yaoxie said indifferently. He didn't care about Bai Zihua's fate. What he cared about was Hua Qiangu's safety and whether she could successfully collect the ten divine artifacts to summon the power of the primordial world!

"As long as you take good care of Xiao Gu, the rest is up to you," Lin Yaoxie paused, "I can help you with that too!"

Dongfang suddenly felt that all the suffering he had endured these past few days had not been in vain, and all the acting he had done had not been for nothing. This was the end of his hardship and the beginning of happiness!

"Report four..." Dongfang prepared to stir up some emotion.

"Stop—" Lin Yaoxie quickly stood up and retreated a long distance. "You should go to sleep. Do you expect Meng Xuanlang to escort them tomorrow?"

"Haha, it's not impossible," Dongfang said deliberately.

"Get out of here! I feel ashamed that Meng Xuanlang, with his IQ, is the emperor." Lin Yaoxie said in frustration.

Who knows what Meng Xuanlang will encounter in the future, or whether he can resolve things normally? Good heavens, I'm not even praying that he can resolve things beyond the expected standard.

"Haha, haha..." Dongfang laughed. Actually, he felt the same way. After Meng Xuanlang ascended the throne, this dynasty was indeed in danger.

Chapter Forty-Nine: Farewell

"Aren't you really going to stay a few more days?" Meng Xuanlang said, somewhat annoyed. "Qian Gu's injuries haven't healed yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"What do you know? We're going back to Changliu so Qiangu can recover from her injuries!" Luo Shiyi said, feigning composure.

Yesterday, the Venerable One had a sparring match with Bao Si. This morning, Bao Si informed everyone that because of Hua Qiangu's injury, everyone should return to Changliu to recuperate for a while.

What exactly happened is probably only known to those involved, but this decision surprised everyone to some extent.

"Boss, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, Qian Gu wouldn't have gotten hurt."

Meng Xuanlang looked guilty, but Lin Yaoxie only saw impatience on his face. Uh, did he say something wrong again?

"Alright, Brother Meng, I've told you several times already. Even if '210' had nothing to do with you, things would still have happened because of the struggle for the artifact. You don't need to blame yourself!"

Seeing Lin Yaoxie's face about to erupt, Dongfang quickly interrupted.

"Qian Gu, go back to Changliu and take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, write to me and I'll have someone prepare it and send it to you!"

Although Meng Xuanlang heard Dongfang say this, he only thought that he was comforting him.
