Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Dongfang spoke with ill intent, his body slowly moving further and further away from Lin Yaoxie.

"Who told you that?"

Lin Yaoxie rubbed his temples and said, "I knew that Ni Mantian's words that day would be overheard by someone with ulterior motives."

I really didn't mean to. I was just going to check on Qian Gu, and when I got outside the palace, I heard Ni Mantian say she liked you. After that, I don't know what happened.

"Maybe you don't need me to see Qian Gu anymore," he said, and then left.

Dongfang pretended to be indifferent to gossip.

"Speaking of Mantian, where is Mantian herself? I haven't seen her since Xiaogu Xisui."

Lin Yaoxie belatedly realized what was happening.

Dongfang looked into his eyes:

"Are you really unaware or pretending? That girl is very sensitive about her image. If you reject her, how can she stay? She went straight back to Penglai that very day!"

"Forehead……"

Lin Yaoxie suddenly realized that he had actually wanted to go and see Ni Mantian after she left that day.

However, later, something unexpected happened to Hua Qiangu, and because of the delay, he put the matter out of his mind and completely forgot about it.

"I'll go to Penglai myself! I won't bring Qing Shui with me!" Lin Yaoxie said.

He recalled the last question Ni Mantian asked him that day, and he had good reason to believe that if he dared to go with only Qing Shui, then he would have no choice but to snatch the Floating Pearl.

"Okay, that's fine." Dongfang nodded.

Lin Yaoxie stood up and walked to Hua Qiangu, who was truly practicing her sword. "This is not right. You should do it this way!"

Hua Qiangu smiled sweetly: "Haha, it tickles! I know, I know. I'll do it myself!"

"Try again! A sword is not something to be trifled with; it must be taken seriously!"

It's rare for Lin Yaoxie to speak so righteously.

"I understand, Brother Demon, I'll do it again!" Hua Qiangu promised.

"Is the message confirmed?" Mo Yan asked.

A disciple of Changliu nodded: "The news has spread everywhere! People from heaven and earth are rushing to Penglai!"

"I understand, you can go now!" Mo Yan said.

What a coincidence! Divine artifacts that hadn't made a sound for thousands of years suddenly started appearing one after another after Lin Yaoxie started looking for them.

"Master, your disciple has something to report!" Luo Shiyi knelt on the ground and said...

"Speak!" Mo Yan was preoccupied with the matter of the Floating Pearl and had no interest in Lin Yaoxie or the dried bones.

"Master, I heard Lin Yaoxie tell Dongfang that the Floating Pearl has been born!" Luo Shiyi reported what he considered to be the most important matter at present.

"Hmm, who said that?" Mo Yan asked.

“It was Dongfang who said it!” Luo Shiyi replied, having personally heard Dongfang and Lin Yaoxie say it.

Mo Yan nodded. Ever since Bai Zihua told him about Dongfang's true identity, the Pavilion Master of Yixiu Pavilion knew everything.

"It seems that Lin Yaoxie wants to go by himself, leaving Dongfang to stay and take care of Hua Qiangu."

Luo Shiyi couldn't quite put his finger on what his current behavior resembled, but ever since he felt that Lin Yaoxie seemed to trust Dongfang more, he had felt somewhat unbalanced.

He told his master the news once or twice, trying to convince himself, but he always felt uneasy about it.

"I understand, you may leave now," Mo Yan said, while arranging for a disciple to fetch Sheng Xiaomo.

"Senior brother," Sheng Xiaomo said when he arrived, Mo Yan was reading a book. "What do you want to see me about?"

"The Floating Pearl has appeared in the world, yet our junior brother, the sect leader, is still giving up on himself. Our survival depends on your decision." Mo Yan said righteously.

Sheng Xiaomo was startled by his words, "Senior brother, you can just say what you want to say."

"I can't let Lin Yaoxie run rampant. I've received the latest news on May 5.4th: he's about to head to Penglai alone! I've decided to capture Hua Qiangu before he returns. With a hostage in hand, I won't be afraid of him acting rashly!"

"I hatefully said."

"I don't ask anything of you, I just hope that you will stop the sect leader when I do this."

Sheng Xiaomo didn't speak. He knew that Bai Zihua was in a bad state and didn't have the courage to fight Lin Yaoxie.

But has the prestigious Changliu really stooped so low as to use a girl as a bargaining chip?

“I’ll be the bad guy, Changliu can’t be in chaos!” Mo Yan sighed. “Do you think if we don’t do it this time, we’ll have another chance? Let me tell you the truth, Lin Yaoxie has already obtained the Netherworld Flower.”

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiaomo pondered for a long time, then closed his eyes in anguish and nodded.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Penglai Wonderland

Lin Yaoxie sat at the entrance of Penglai Island, looking at all sorts of people, some of whom were just ordinary mortals who came to Penglai Wonderland with devout hearts.

Some were members of the Seven Killings Sect, all with shifty eyes and darting around. Others were bystanders from other prestigious sects, perhaps there specifically to join in the fun with the divine artifact.

When Lin Yaoxie arrived in Penglai, he learned that the news of the Floating Pearl mentioned by Dongfang had appeared in the world. It was not only known to the Yixiu Pavilion, but it seemed that there was no place in heaven and earth that did not know about it.

Lin Yaoxie was considering whether he should meet with the leader of the Penglai Sect, so that he could at least secure a good viewing spot.

But then I thought, how could I have the nerve to go and beg for a meeting after I had just driven away someone’s precious daughter?

Although Lin Yaoxie doesn't care much about these things, at least he is now a person of status with four divine artifacts in his hands!

Lin Yaoxie thought for a moment and realized that he could find it by following the crowd, so he didn't bother to explain further.

I strolled up to Penglai Island on my own. This Penglai Island truly lived up to its name; it was worlds apart from the real Penglai.

From the moment you step onto the island, you're enveloped in a layer of ethereal mist.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that this celestial mist is not a simple celestial mist; it also slowly separates mortals from cultivators, leading them onto different paths without them noticing each other.

Occasionally, in places where the ethereal mist couldn't completely conceal the greenery, tiny specks of greenery would peek out. The landscaping in Penglai is quite impressive!

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yaoxie followed the cultivators and truly set foot in the village in front of Penglai Mountain.

At the entrance of the small village stands a long and narrow stone tablet with the four characters "Penglai Immortal Village" written on it.

This village in front of the mountain is rather arrogant, calling itself a fairy village, which is quite a coincidence, being related to the Penglai Sect.

"Sir? Looking for a place to stay?" The waiter greeted them warmly. "Sir, our inn is honest and trustworthy, guaranteed to be suitable for cultivating immortality!"

Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but laugh, he didn't expect that the characters in this plot would be so market-savvy and know how to attract customers.

"Sir, if you'd like to stay at our inn, we have four types of rooms: A, B, C, and D. The higher the ranking, the more concentrated the spiritual energy you'll absorb from the heavens and earth."

The waiter spoke earnestly, with a sense of particular pride.

"Our family is the only one like this in the entire Penglai Immortal Village!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoxie now understood how Ni Mantian had managed to cultivate such a extravagant personality; it seemed that making money was a required course for her in Penglai.

"Please stay, sir. Everyone's been coming to admire the power of this divine artifact lately. We just had a guest check out, otherwise we wouldn't have any rooms available!"

"I wonder what room it is, and what its ranking is?" Lin Yaoxie asked deliberately.

"Room C! Sir/Madam, please come in!"

When the waiter saw this man strike up a conversation, he knew he had met the right customer and quickly invited Lin Yaoxie inside.

Lin Yaoxie shook his neck and followed his guidance inside.

"Immortal, from which immortal mountain do you come?"

The waiter inquired, as they were very familiar with the different levels of resources available on various sacred mountains.

After a moment's thought, Lin Yaoxie said, "Changliu, from Changliu!"

It's not good for him to become a mountain on his own, so he added bricks and tiles to Changliu.

"Celestial official from Changliu! Please come in. We have a special Penglai brew. Please have a pot of wine to soothe your throat!" The waiter eagerly poured Lin Yaoxie a full cup of wine.

"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"

A gruff male voice spoke, and then poured a bowl of hot soup into the hands of a delicate-looking girl.

The girl also had a fiery temper; she used a little magic to resist the hot soup.

"I don't care who you are! Don't try to harass me like that! That girl may have a pretty face, but she speaks very frankly."

"Junior sister, he is Feng Bitang, the chief disciple of the Penglai Sect. We can't afford to offend him!"

The man next to the girl said in a low voice, then stood up: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Feng. My junior sister is young and doesn't know her manners. I apologize on her behalf. Please give me face and don't blame her."

The man quickly stood up, handed over a glass of wine, and said solicitously.

"Hmph! Who do you think you are! I'm not giving you face!"

Feng Bitang cursed loudly, his tiger-like eyes were surprisingly frightening. He was originally dressed in a white satin robe, but now he no longer looked like a white-robed youth, but rather like mortals fighting.

"Immortal Official, that is our Penglai Sect's chief disciple, Feng Bitang. He is deeply favored by the sect leader, who has entrusted him with such an important task."

The waiter noticed that Lin Yaoxie seemed quite interested in him and said...

"Oh?" The beloved disciple of the Penglai Sect Leader? Lin Yaoxie's mind raced; he must know where the Floating Pearl was. "Judging from this Immortal Official's temper, he doesn't seem to have a very good one!"

The waiter glanced involuntarily at Feng Bitang, then lowered his voice somewhat cautiously:

"He's been much better these past two days. Before, he was even more irritable, and he would smash tables and break bowls at the drop of a hat."

“Haha,” Lin Yaoxie said, “He has such a bad temper, yet he still comes here often, which means the food here is really good! That’s why he can’t forget it.”

Since Lin Yaoxie was going to establish contact with Feng Bitang, he decided to first learn about his character, tastes, and preferences.

"Here's what you'd call it, give me a portion of everything he usually eats!"

The waiter's face lit up with joy. He was least worried about long-staying customers. Even if they didn't have money, they could easily pawn a small magical artifact, and there would be plenty of people eager to buy it.

"How ridiculous! Immortal Official, please wait a moment!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded and continued listening to Feng Bitang and the others' conversation.

"Senior Brother Feng, why be so aggressive? We from Taixi Sect have come all this way just to witness the splendor of this divine artifact!"

The man's face turned somewhat ugly. He really hadn't expected that Feng Bitang would be so unreasonable and unscrupulous.

"Senior brother, why waste your breath arguing with him! I don't believe he can drive us out of Penglai!"

The girl's fingers, which were gripping the sword, had turned somewhat white.
