The Journey is Afoot

Su Chan disappeared in a flash of green light,the end of their brief reunionDespite the circuhter after the talk they hadSu Chan's words of reassurance along with all the promises they , filling the void left behind by Su Chan's absenceNow he had soer

After staring off into space for God kno long, Li Yundong finally turned away from the field, where the remnants of his wrath lay scatteredHe expected to feel at least a little bit of reuilt never caAt least he could now rest assured that Deng Yu and Deng Jiao didn't die for nothing; their deaths had triggered a chain of events that eventually rid the world of one evil son of a bitch

Rest in peace,made his way back towards the roadZhou Qin's Audi A6 was parked beside the guard rail, and Zhou Qin herself was leaning against her car, staring at hiuarded expression

Li Yundong had no doubt that Zhou Qin had witnessed the whole thunder-su was that she didn't seem shocked at allIt was like: hey, you just su from the sky and then barbequed a man alive with it; okay, cool, now let's just chill and act like nothing happened; by the way, can we go now? Coz I'

Either Zhou Qin had nerves of steel, or she had the best poker face in the history of poker faces

hell, it was probably both

Li Yundong leaped over the guard rail and landed in front of Zhou Qin

They stared at each other for a momentZhou Qin didn't smile at him like she used to when they see each other

”I' you into this, Zhou Qin,” he said

Zhou Qin regarded hih”So what are you gonna do next?”

Good questionWhat was he going to do? ”Becoue to help him come up with an immediate action plan

”I know I should turnhis head”I killed a ave Zhou Qin a look”But I' for h she'd just been told a funny joke”Trust me, it's pointless to turn yourself in” Zhou Qin stopped laughing”The prosecutors won't have enough physical evidence to build a case against you”

Li Yundong stared at Zhou Qin”Seriously? I uy's car, all the while yelling death threats at hihed”shi+t… There're probably traffic caht the chase”

Zhou Qin smiled”Even so, the case would cruainst you” Zhou Qin's smile faltered and was replaced by a somber expression”That is why I tried to stop you earlierIf you killed him with your bare hands, you'd probably be locked up for the rest of your life”

Li Yundong pondered Zhou Qin's words for a moment”YeahHe Shao's family is powerful and influential”

Zhou Qin nodded”Even if you leave the country and hide overseas, they still have the means to hunt you down and put you on murder trial”

”WellI did beat hiestured towards the field below the hi had prettyhiHe hadhied

He Shao deserved hell for all the atrocious things he'd done

”Oh, but this is where everything gets interesting” There was a twinkle in Zhou Qin's eyes”You did beat him up, that's trueBut, there is no evidence to prove that you did”

Li Yundong stared at Zhou QinIs she just trying tohis skepticiser”Just hear me out for a secondOne, there are no surveillance caes that the prosecutors can use to prove that you've physically assaulted He ShaoAnd two” Zhou Qin's expression changed fro differentShe alued”He Shao's body was destroyed, so no autopsy can be doneAnd without a full autopsy report, there's no way to prove that he was assaulted before the” Zhou Qin gestured at the sky”Theyou know”

<hr>

Li Yundong chuckled wryly”Sorry you had to see all that”

Zhou Qin shook her head as though she was trying to clear so

”How on earth did you pull that off?”

”It's” Li Yundong raised his hands, then let thee seven bullets in a row? I mean, I can try to explain them, but it'll probably still sound like nonsense to you” Li Yundong huffed out a breath”Regardless, I don't think they're going to let me off the hook that easilyI'm still linked to He Shao's death whether I like it or notAnd I'm sure those sleazy lawyers would find a way to twist everything around to uilty

Zhou Qin smirked”Not when you have this” Zhou Qin pulled out her phone and showed hi on the ground, staring fearfully up the skySeconds later, the screen flashed in white and blue as a huge bolt of lightning engulfed He Shao's bodyThe video ended seconds after the lightning disappeared

”I' to have to confiscate that” Zi Yuan's cold voice sounded fro looked away fro on the other side of the car, glaring at Zhou Qin”I've made it clear that I don't want any of this on record”

Zhou Qin put her phone away and turned around to face Zi Yuan”This footage can be used to Li Yundong's advantage” Zhou Qin squared her shoulders”If Li Yundong is forced to go to trial, this footage is our best bet to get the judge to absolve hiain”Don't worry, I'll s don't come to that”

Zi Yuan didn't see how anyone can su frohtning was sued”For all we know, the Heavens have decided to punish He Shao for all his evil deeds by striking hi”

Zi Yuan frowned”But—”

”I didn't appear in the video,” Li Yundong added”There's no proof that I su”

”Exactly,” Zhou Qin said

Zi Yuan scowled”That's still not good enoughA Cultivator who sees the footage would recognize the Heavenly Thunder immediately and know that a spell is involvedI can't have that”

Zhou Qin sighed”Like I said, I'll s don't coe inside a courtroowhile before Zi Yuan ended it”Hongling!”

Ruan Hongling stepped up from behind Zi Yuan”Yes, Elder Sister?”

”Status report”

”We're clear,” Ruan Hongling said”No eye-witnesses spotted when I scouted the areaBut I did see police vehicles headed this way”

Zhou Qin nodded as though she'd been expecting it”I told the in”

”You've been extre at Zhou Qin”Thank you”

”It's no big deal,” said Zhou Qin

The conversation suddenly died downSeconds later, Li Yundong realized that everyone was staring at hihed”What?”

”You should come with me,” Zi Yuan said”It's best to remove you from the scene before the police arriveA Cultivator should avoid getting on the wrong side of the lawAny involvement with lawsuits and court cases will not be tolerated! That is a cardinal rule that every Cultivator should follow”

GreatMore rulesSo er looking at him but at Zhou Qin instead”And I trust you'll find a way to… ateLi Yundong was pretty sure she meant cover up

Zhou Qin s chuckled”That's Zhou Qin for youConfident as always”

Zi Yuan ignored his reht arm”Put your hand onstared at Zi Yuan hesitantly

”Hurry up!” Zi Yuan snapped”We don't have all day”

Why was Zi Yuan even helping hiyi School wanted hi say that Zi Yuan would be his teacher starting froardless, he had to ad here wasn't an optionBesides, Su Chan seeeAnd since he trusted Su Chan with his life, he decided to roll with it
