Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The tombs were brought here by some prominent families with the help of experts. But recently, I heard that you might be expelled from the sect, so they wanted to leave this spot for others entering the sect. Another villager has entered the sect in these two years,” Grandma Lin said gently.

Lin Zhi was frozen in place. He couldn’t even hear her properly.

Grandma Lin sighed. “They are waiting for you to return. If it’s confirmed that you aren’t a disciple anymore, they will take action. Figure out a way, okay?”

She couldn’t do much to help him.

At most, she could help with cleaning the house.

She was doing this because Lin Zhi’s mother had given her everything before she passed away, which helped her get through the hardest winter.

Otherwise, being as old as she was, she might not have survived that winter.

When Grandma Lin left, some strong men arrived with tools.

They weren’t surprised to see Lin Zhi here, but they were somewhat worried.

“Master Lin, this place belongs to our family’s old master. We want to take it back. Hope you can agree,” one of the men said.

Lin Zhi stood still.

“What are you pretending for? We only call you “Master” because you made it into the sect temporarily. I heard that you could achieve nothing. Your talent is only a little bit higher than mine. What a joke!” Someone mocked him.

Lin Zhi still stood there, frozen.

“Don’t blame us for getting physical.”

Someone moved forward to attack. They held sticks in their hands. As they came closer step by step, they were worried, but still, they swung down.

Bang!

The stick hit Lin Zhi’s head. He showed no reaction.

They grew bolder.

They began attacking him freely.

But Lin Zhi kept his head down. He looked at the tombstone without moving.

He couldn’t even feel the pain.

Just then, a stick was about to hit the tombstone.

In an instant, Lin Zhi moved. He grabbed the stick with one hand.

Bang!

The stick shattered.

Then he looked at the men behind him. His eyes were red. “What are you all trying to do?”

The sudden change frightened the men, and they started to retreat.

“This place belongs to our master. He will definitely want it back.”

They were about to leave.

However, they hadn’t gone far when they were flung into the sky and down to the ground.

They wailed and screamed.

At that moment, a beast soared through the air and approached Lin Zhi.

It was the spirit beast.

Lin Zhi looked at the beast and finally felt like he could confide in someone. He fell on his knees.

It seemed as though every ounce of strength had left his body. He cried in front of the graves of his parents.

The beast stood beside him and looked at the graves. “Heaven imposes heavy responsibilities on one with great talents. It first pains the mind, strains the sinews, starves the form and endangers life. Your body may go without comfort, your movements may be wild and confused, your mind may be vexed and worried, and your achievements may be lost.”

Lin Zhi looked at the beast in confusion. “Lord Beast, what do you mean?”

“I’m telling you that those who are meant to accomplish great things will inevitably face difficulties along the way. The suffering you endure now will become your strength.”

“But can an ordinary person like me really be meant for great responsibilities?” Lin Zhi couldn’t believe it.

“I never lie. Have I ever lied to you?”

Lin Zhi felt a bit better.

He stood up and was about to find Grandma Lin to ask about his mother’s passing.

A little while later, Lin Zhi looked at Grandma Lin in disbelief. “My mother passed away on the second day I entered the sect? She was waiting for that

He finally understood many things. His mother had been terminally ill, and she had saved food for him if he couldn’t make it to any sect. If he did make it into one, she wanted to give everything she saved to someone in need.

“When your mother gave me the food she had saved, she smiled and told me she could finally rest easy,” Grandma Lin said.

Lin Zhi sat down. Tears streamed down his face.

Seven days later, in late April, Jiang Hao received a message from the Lawless Tower.

This time, they didn’t specify the matter. They just asked him to come over. “It feels like I’ve become a person of the Lawless Tower.”

Previously, they had used the name of Elder Baizhi. Now, they were addressing him directly.

This wasn’t a bad thing. It would make it easier for him to become familiar with them. It could come in handy in the future.

It might be beneficial to him, like his relationship with Liu Xingchen.

But cooperating with fellow sect members didn’t feel right. Cooperating with an insider from the Lawless Tower felt more secure.

Inside the Lawless Tower, they wanted him to interrogate Mi Lingyue.

“So… you don’t want me to interrogate Gu Qing this time?” asked Jiang Hao in confusion.

“Yes. Gu Qing has some treasure in her body, which is difficult to extract. Mi Lingyue is special. There’s a chance she can do it,” said the black-robed woman.

Jiang Hao had already anticipated this and expected it sooner or later. It was just surprising that it had happened so soon.

After being briefed on the general situation, Jiang Hao stepped inside.

At this moment, Mi Lingyue was leaning against the cage bars in exhaustion.

“These people are ruthless. They almost killed me. They want my help now? If you’ve got the guts, just kill me.”

“Didn’t she say they would release you if you helped? And also help you recover some of your cultivation?” Zhuang Yuzhen asked.

“You expect me to believe that?” Mi Lingyue glanced at him. “They’ll just use me and keep me here as a captive. How do you expect me to trust their empty promises? This is a demonic sect, not a respected immortal sect. Do you really believe them?”

Zhuang Yuzhen nodded. He had been deceived like that before.

After all, the Heavenly Note Sect’s promises were unreliable.

Gu Qing lowered her head. She was worried.

She hadn’t expected that the person next to her was the one referred to as the “Forging Hands.”

Fortunately, this was a demonic sect, and Mi Lingyue didn’t trust them.

“If you’ve got the guts, just kill me. Why don’t you ask the Heavenly King to beg me to do it? Let’s see if that works on me,” said Mi Lingyue.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Everyone turned to look.

Zhuang Yuzhen noticed that it was Jiang Hao.

Hai Luo looked at him in contempt but didn’t say anything.

“Ah, you’re here too?” Mi Lingyue became more eager. “Do you want to use me

now? So, which few words do you plan to use to make me obedient?”

Jiang Hao stood before the cell and looked at her calmly. “Can you take out the treasures from her?”

He pointed at Gu Qing.

“Of course,” Mi Lingyue said.

“Can you help us then?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Are you worthy of my help?” Mi Lingyue looked at him arrogantly. “Just a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator dares to address me this way! How are you going to persuade me? Maybe you could kneel and beg.” Mi Lingyue smirked.

Jiang Hao remained calm. He reached out and beckoned to her.

“Fine. I’ll tell you two words. After hearing these two words, you will help me willingly. ”

Zhuang Yuzhen and Hai Luo both watched. They had experienced this terror before.

Would it work this time?

Mi Lingyue laughed and drew close.

She stood up and tilted her head to listen to him. “Speak, I’m listening.”

Jiang Hao was surprised that she had actually approached him.

It seemed that Mi Lingyue was treated differently from others.

“I hope that after listening to me, you’ll still be this optimistic.” “I also hope that after you’re done speaking, you’ll still be this confident.” Jiang Hao smiled faintly, then said the two words.

As soon as Mi Lingyue heard him, her smile vanished. She immediately looked at Jiang Hao in shock. Then her face turned ferocious.

“What do you mean by that?!”

Jiang Hao gazed at her. “It seems it’s of no use after all. Since that’s the case, let’s meet next time.”

With that, he turned and left.

“Wait! Come back! Tell me what you mean!” Jiang Hao walked farther and farther away.

Mi Lingyue had lost all her previous arrogance. “Come back, please!” she said.

“I’ll help you. I will do anything you want. Please, come back!” Hai Luo and Zhuang Yuzhen both looked terrified.

They had warned her.

Gu Qing felt a chill run down her spine.

She couldn’t understand how a mere Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator had taken control of what happened to her!
