Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Junior Brother, try not to achieve any great merits from now on

Hearing Liu Xingchen’s words, Jiang Hao felt both absurd and helpless.

Others try to avoid getting on the Hall of Enforcement’s radar.

He, on the other hand, was trying every means to get on it.

This time, he could continue to be on the Hall of Enforcement’s list, thanks to Senior Sister Yan Hua.

“By the way, there’s something I’d like to ask Senior Brother,” Jiang Hao said.

“I’d like to know what kind of punishments the Hall of Enforcement usually gives.”

“Punishments?” Liu Xingchen was a bit puzzled.

“Sent to the Lawless Tower?”

“What about other than that?” Jiang Hao inquired.

“There’s not much else; many issues are resolved by the various main veins themselves. The Hall of Enforcement doesn’t manage everything.”

“If the main veins don’t want to handle it, the Hall of Enforcement can take over. But most punishments involve being sent to the Thunder Punishment Platform.”

“Does the Hall of Enforcement ever punish people by sending them to mine?” Jiang Hao asked what was on his mind.

“No, such minor matters are definitely handled by the various main veins. The Hall of Enforcement mostly deals with sect members killing each other and traitor infiltrations. They also maintain the balance between the main veins,” Liu Xingchen explained.

Jiang Hao nodded, somewhat disappointed.

It seemed he would have to rely on his master.

“Actually, there’s something I need to tell Junior Brother,” Liu Xingchen looked at Jiang Hao and said.

“You’re at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, right?”

“Yes,” Jiang Hao replied, puzzled:

“Is there something wrong?”

“Not at all,” Liu Xingchen shook his head, continuing.

“Junior Brother is in his early twenties? In fact, with Junior Brother’s talent, you could become a true disciple. But with Junior Brother’s repeated connections to traitors, Duanqing Cliff wouldn’t dare to accept you.”

“So now, being on the Hall of Enforcement’s watchlist also has its downsides, and Junior Brother should consider this as well.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao understood.

His master knew he was at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment but showed no sign of it because of his many ties to traitors.

But without the restrictions of the Hall of Enforcement, he was also worried about the dangers of going out.

In the end, he chose to continue as an inner disciple.

At least that was less conspicuous.

True disciples were few, and each was easily noticed.

“I have to get busy now, Junior Brother, remember this, you are still our suspect. At least until Junior Sister Yan Hua is found, it will be hard for you to clear your name.”

Liu Xingchen started to leave, then after a couple of steps, couldn’t help but remind.

“Junior Brother, try not to achieve any great merits from now on.”

Jiang Hao: “…”

I don’t want to either.

The merit from the Man Long side was indeed an unexpected encounter.

He had just lost a Ten Thousand Swords Talisman; who would have thought it would actually succeed.

“By the way, Xuanyuan Tai has been captured, and Junior Brother’s significant contribution will likely get the attention of the Xuantian Sect,” Liu Xingchen said before heading to the mine.

The Hall of Enforcement had to inspect all suspicious individuals.

“A Ten Thousand Swords Talisman has offended the Xuantian Sect…”

That talisman was indeed costly.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Hao stepped away from the mine.

He couldn’t mine here for now, and he couldn’t force himself to stay.

He could only hope that the mining would start and that he would be punished by his master and sent to the mines.

Now, he needed to go back and check on the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

I’ve been at the mine for a month now.

……

Below Duanqing Cliff.

In Jiang Hao’s courtyard.

A rabbit lies in front of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, staring intently at its leaves.

Its stomach growls with hunger.

And the scent of the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower is tempting.

It opens its mouth, intending to take a bite.

But quickly, it retracts its head and slaps its own face.

“No, no, if the master returns, I, the Lord Rabbit, will be stewed.”

“But…”

It gazes at the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, opens its mouth, and plans to lick it.

Just once.

It sticks out its tongue, about to touch the flower, but then thinks better of it and tries to pull back.

However, before its tongue can retract, a scabbard presses down from above, pinning it.

“Oooh!”

The rabbit struggles frantically but can’t break free.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

Jiang Hao’s voice comes over.

At this moment, Jiang Hao stands by the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, pressing down on the rabbit’s tongue with the flat of his blade.

Seeing that the rabbit can’t speak, he lifts the blade.

Feeling its tongue and finding it intact, the rabbit breathes a sigh of relief and immediately says.

“Master, I saw dust on the leaves and wanted to clean it.”

“Clean it with your life?” Jiang Hao retorts.

If the rabbit had dared to lick it, it might indeed have died.

And it could have implicated him.

What that woman might do, nobody knows.

“If your tongue had touched the flower just now, you probably wouldn’t have survived,” Jiang Hao says seriously.

As for how one would die, he doesn’t know either.

He goes to a corner and sticks the blade into the ground.

The blade, now covered in cracks, is no longer usable.

He had used this saber for a long time, and considering its cheap price, it had been worth it.

This was the second one; the Heavenly Saber Seven Forms and Purple Qi could not withstand ordinary treasures.

Only the Primordial Heavenly Saber was unaffected.

The rabbit, frightened by Jiang Hao, covers its mouth and dares not even think.

“Has anyone come here these days?” Jiang Hao asks, sitting on a wooden chair.

The woman hadn’t taken the table and chairs with her, so they had remained here.

He wipes the table, noticing some dust, and with a flash of his Foundation Establishment cultivation, the dust completely disappears from the surface.

“Lord Rabbuit has a big reputation here; who would dare to disturb the master?

“Friends on the road give face to the Lord Rabbit, they all know to respect the master,” the rabbit says, hopping onto the wooden chair opposite.

Jiang Hao stares at the boastful rabbit.

Seeing that Jiang Hao doesn’t speak, the rabbit becomes anxious and quickly changes its tune.

“A female human named Ming Yi came looking for the master.”

“What did she say?” Jiang Hao asks.

“She said it was a pity and that she would have to come back another time,” the rabbit says.

Jiang Hao lowers his gaze. Fairy Ming Yi is from the Tiansheng Sect, and he wonders if she came looking for him because of Yan Hua.

Afterward, Jiang Hao doesn’t dwell on it and prepares to go find his master and Senior Brother Mu Qi.

He can’t stay at the mine. He has to return to continue guarding the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

……

At Baihua Lake.

Bai Zhi kneels on one knee, bearing some injuries and looking terrified.

Hong Yuye stands by the lake, feeding the fish.

After scattering a handful of fish food, she finally speaks,

“Is there a result from the matter at Tianqing Mountain?”
