156 Every Dilemma Has a Solution (1/2)
The lightning eyes weren't only looking at Cao Mao in the giant hole, but they also glanced at Jia Wenhe and onlookers. One of the eyes sent a lightning bolt to the ground in front of Jia Wenhe, giving him a warning shot.
Seeing the warning, Jia Wenhe bellowed back to the sky, ”The person you are testing is under the protection of me, Jia Wenhe, a vessel of the Sun Crow! That death battle just now was fair and square!! If you have a problem with that fight, the Sun Crow will need an explanation from your side!!”
The 14 eyes turned toward Jia Wenhe. They squinted their eyes for a moment before the thunderstorm got stronger. Everyone also heard an archaic voice.
”Son of Jia Gong, the boy has stolen a gift that we had bestowed to our chosen fate bearer. He has to return the Heaven Fate Blessing and repent for his crime with his life! If you interfere, we will-”
Before the mysterious eyes could finish their sentence, the sky cracked and a glowing eye peeked into the hole as if the world was nothing but a small enclosed plane with small people inside.
Jia Wenhe and the 14 Heavenly Eyes heard the mysterious domineering telepathic voice. Also, a few grandmasters could hear it by accident.
THE HELL TRIBULATION JUST NOW WAS FAIR AND SQUARE. AS FOR THE HEAVEN FATE BLESSING, THE BOY EARNS IT. EVERY MORTAL GETS TO KEEP WHAT THEY KILLED, REGARDLESS OF HEAVEN'S INTENTION. THAT'S THE GOLDEN RULES.
NO IMMORTAL CAN HARM A MORTAL OR INTERVENE WITH THEIR FATE IN THIS WORLD, THAT'S ALSO ANOTHER RULE!
IF HE KILLS AND STEALS AGAIN, IT'S YOUR CHOSEN CHILDREN'S FAULT FOR BEING WEAK!
NOW, SCRAM BEFORE I, THE SUN CROW, COME DOWN AND GIVE YOU A SIMILAR TRIBULATION TO YOU FOOLS! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN BULLY A MORTAL BECAUSE THEY KILLED YOUR CHOSEN CHILD, I CAN ALSO DO THE SAME TO YOU NON-ENTITIES! DON'T FORGET THAT THE BRAT IS MY VESSEL'S SON-IN-LAW!! TRY IT AGAIN IF YOU DARE!!
”…”
The lightning eyes looked back at the flame eye beyond the cracked sky. They shrunk in fear and faded. The crack in the sky also disappeared afterward along with the eye of the Sun Crow.
Suddenly, everyone, who eavesdropped on their conversation, had a severe headache.
Several grandmasters stumbled as they felt like something intruded their memories. Within a few seconds, the eavesdroppers from every continent forgot the brief exchange between the 14 strands of Heaven Will and the Sun Crow.
When they came back to their senses, no one or any device managed to record or memorize the event.
Only two persons were unaffected by the mass-brainwashing effect.
Jia Wenhe gazed at the sky in solemn. He knelt and kowtowed three times by slamming his head on the hard ground. He muttered to himself, ”Thank you, Great Crow.”
”Holy shit. I have plot armor. Was it because of Xie Tian's fate thingy?”

\u003cThe Great Sun Crow has left you a message through your System Sponsor. The message is as the followings;\u003e
\u003c”Praise me, you heathen, not praise your stupid plot armor or whatever it is! Be grateful that Ju Shoufen begged me to protect you! If you ever treat her granddaughter wrongly, I'll be the one giving you the next Hell Tribulation! Also, you owe Ju Shoufen a favor. Get stronger as soon as possible and get her out of Myriad Cauldron Sect!”\u003e

Side Quest: Return Ju Shoufen's Favor
Clear Conditions:
1. Eradicate the Yuan Clan and their supporters
2. Kill Yuan Shaoqing
3. Reunite Ju Shoufen with Ju Chen and Jia Wenhe
4. Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, and Ju Chen must survive when everything is over.
Failure Condition: Ju Shoufen, Jia Wenhe, or Ju Chen dies.
Rewards: Unknown
Failure Penalty: The Sun Crow will personally host the next Hell Tribulation for you.
System Sponsor's Note1: This Side Quest's difficulty is higher than campaign quest level 10 since Yuan Shaoqing is Yuan Hua's little brother. Be prepared for Heaven's interference before you take action against the Yuan Clan.
System Sponsor's Note2: Completing this side quest will increase your favor with the Sun Crow. He has prepared a handsome reward for this commission, but he hasn't revealed what it is.
System Sponsor's Note3: It is advised to complete this mission whenever you're ready as Ju Shoufen won't do anything stupid to jeopardize her life any time soon. However, you shouldn't ignore the quest either since changes can happen when a protagonist, a transmigrator, or a reincarnator gets involved with their affairs and altered their fates.

”…”
Cao Mao scratched his head, speechless. He didn't know if he should thank the Sun Crow or not for protecting him. The quest itself gave him anxiety, but it gave him a clear guideline of what he should aim for his next goal. After all, solving this quest would also clear the dryad's issues since it related to the Myriad Cauldron Sect.
Still, this quest was a tall call. It demanded a complete annihilation of an aristocrat clan, the Yuan Clan. Moreover, it was a clan under the Dao Goddess of Wet Banana, Yuan Hua.
Ding
\u003cThe Goddess of Wet Banana, Yuan Hua, has left you a message through your System Sponsor. The message is as the followings;\u003e
\u003c”Do not accept the Sun Crow's quest! I promise that I'll tell my brother not to harm your grandmother-in-law. I know that my brother has offended the Ju Clan and it was his fault, but please don't harm my vessels or my clansmen. Please forgive that spoiled brother of mine. I'll give you something to compensate for your trouble.”\u003e
