Chapter 840 - : Reason (1/2)

Chen Tianxiao rubbed his aching skull and left Azure Mountain. His head felt like it was about to burst.

The Azure Mountain was embroiled in a major crisis and all the men were affected. He was the only unaffected one as he had already become a spirit, which was a stroke of luck coming from an unfortunate event.

After all, he was better off than his fellow bed-ridden disciples. He could at least run and jump around and look and sing.

However, he was baffled by one thing. Why was Gu Buwei unaffected?

Unless…

A terrifying thought flashed across his mind. He quickly suppressed it and refused to speak it out loud.

Nonetheless, it was improbable and too far-fetched. A better presumption would be that he had the ability of Divining by the Clouds, which helped him with taking advantage of fortuitous situations and avoiding unfortunate ones. He must have distanced himself from the place of infection.

That could not be either. He regularly spent his days together with the patients, tending to them, so how could he not be affected?

Some mysterious talisman given to him by the Grandmaster must have done the trick. No, the Grandmaster had no reason to favor an outsider over his own disciples.

From the looks of it, it must be due to his own luck.

Dammit! He was on a similar level with Gu Buwei, yet the latter could not only enjoy his life at the Azure Mountain; He attained great power and solved problems with ease, too. Despite running into a crisis like this, he could keep himself out of harm’s way.

He was exactly like Yunzhongzi in “The Investiture of the Gods”. With all those talks about Merits and Virtue, surely there was some sort of Merit protecting him? (TN: “The Investiture of the Gods” is an ancient Chinese novel about deities and demons.)

Chen Tianxiao could not wrap his head around the entire situation. Suddenly, he was struck by an idea. He did not know, but he could ask that person. He should know about it.

He heard that he had rather good relations with Gu Buwei and saved his life once.

Chen Tianxiao walked out of the gates and left the Lunaette by floating towards the ground.

Soon, he bumped into said person.

“You’re finally out…” Vigilante A stopped him at mid-air and remarked coldly.

“Eh, please forgive me, Venerable One. Due to the ongoing trouble at the Azure Mountain, the gates are shut tight and I don’t even have the chance to come out.” Chen Tianxiao groaned.

Of course, he would not reveal the truth. In fact, it was Shang Qingshan who would not let him out.

“You’re lying. It seems that I’ve been too lenient towards you. Fine, time for you to go back to jail.” Vigilante A waved his arm. Chen Tianxiao could not fight back and vanished.

At the Draconic Penitentiary.

Fang Ning sat in the office and observed Anderson roughing up Chen Tianxiao in the torture chamber via the surveillance camera.

This rascal was dishonest and had the cheek to lie to him.

It was rather easy to find out that he was lying. Even Gu Buwei could leave the Azure Mountain, so how could Chen Tianxiao not find an excuse to do so?

Did he actually take Master Fang for some softie?

It was true that he was soft-hearted, but that was only reserved for good people. He would show no mercy towards people with evil intentions.

He had Sir System seizing him anyway, so he did not have to go through any sort of phobia of killing people…

Not an hour had passed and Chen Tianxiao finally yielded.

Anderson’s ability to rough up spirits could be understood clearly. Although it had not shown its face for a long time, it was not Fang Ning. Even if Fang Ning did not pay attention to him, it was learning and improving itself every day.

“Have mercy, Venerable One! I’ll tell you the truth.”

Chen Tianxiao was out of breath and pleaded in the torture chamber.

At last, Fang Ning told Anderson to stop via the surveillance camera’s communication channel and listened to that fellow’s testimonial.
