Chapter 45 Between Good and Evil (1/2)

”Erm, Taoism peer Zhu, let's take a look at the child over there. Also, what happened just now?” Lyu Liang coughed, although he was interested in Zhu Yan's face observing technique, the child's safety was the most important.

”Oh, this is a long story! Let me start from my arrival at the Wufang Territory...” When Lyu Liang asked, Zhu Yan's face beamed and he started his story incessantly.

”Taoism peer Zhu, you can start from where you stopped just now...” Lyu Liang felt a bit helpless. Did he never speak in his previous life? How could he be so wordy...

”Alright! At first, I had a stall in Shang Qiu Town for face observing. After I kept the stall, I felt something so I came towards this direction. I saw two black men carrying a little girl flying across from me. They all emitted the aura of Demon Qi. I feared that the girl may have been in danger so I stood up and stopped the two of them. After that, thanks to you, everything was resolved, or the result would have been unimaginable!” This time Zhu Yan did not talk nonsense and explained the incident briefly.

At this point, the two had arrived by the side of the little girl. Zhu Yan waved his hand and the yellow shield dissipated, and the little girl was trembling and crouching the ground, the horror in her eyes made Lyu Liang feel a stinging pain in his heart.

”Good girl, don't be afraid, the bad guys have already been beaten by us. Where is your home? We will send you back.” Zhu Yan asked before Lyu Liang could say the same words.

Hearing these words, the little girl cried loudly, ”The two bad guys broke into my house and grabbed me. My parents tried to stop them, but they used the sword... Wow!!!” The little girl buried her head and cried, Lyu Liang tried to console her but it was to no avail.

At the side, Zhu Yan made a long sigh to the sky and took out a red ball out of nowhere. He threw it directly at the little girl. The ball stopped when it reached the top of her head and then burst into a dazzling red light.

At the moment when the red light appeared, the little girl who had been crying and screaming fainted suddenly. Lyu Liang was about to help but was stopped by Zhu Yan, ”Don't worry, look.”

After a while, the little girl woke up. However, the fear in her eyes had disappeared, and now she had a confused look.

”Eh, why am I here? Ah, Grandpa Zhu!” The little girl first looked at her surroundings blankly. When her eyes moved to Zhu Yan, she suddenly burst into excitement.

”Ai, look at you coming out to play at such a late time. Your parents are worried about you at home!” Zhu Yan looked at the little girl gently and spoke words that made Lyu Liang confused.

”Oh, then I shall go home now!” The little girl stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

Lyu Liang was perplexed. What was going on? How did Zhu Yan become the grandfather of this little girl?! Also, how come the little girl was acting like a different person after she fainted?

Lyu Liang really wanted to ask, but he suppressed his desire. He could feel that Zhu Yan did this for a reason.

The next moment, the red ball not far away emitted red light, and the little girl was shrouded under it. At the same time, the little girl's look became confused, and she muttered to herself, ”Mom, dad, Little Yun'er is back, I will not wander around again...” Before she could finish her words, she was absorbed into the little red ball.

Lyu Liang was shocked. When he was about to ask, Zhu Yan handed the ball to him and pointed his finger at the ball. ”Taoism peer, do not be nervous, look!”

”Space magic treasure! No, no, not only that!” Lyu Liang focused his look and was surprised to find that the space in the ball was actually divided into many small areas, each small area was like a town, some with people inside, some without.

In the towns with people, no matter how many people there were, there would always be a person with a yellow halo on them. There were children, teenagers, and the elderly. With no exceptions, everyone had a smile on their happy face.

In the direction pointed by Zhu Yan, Lyu Liang saw Little Yun'er. At this moment, she was excitedly talking to a middle-aged couple. Even Lyu Liang was influenced by this warm and happy atmosphere.

”Do you see the towns with people? Have you seen the ones with a yellow halo inside? They are just like Little Yun'er, unable to accept the cruel reality in the world, and were absorbed inside when they had a mental breakdown. Inside, they will live a happy life without any worries. No troubles, no hatred, only endless happiness.” Zhu Yan said with a smile, but there were endless vicissitudes in his eyes.

”What!” Lyu Liang was utterly shocked! Not because of this strange magic treasure, but because he knew how terrible the consequences would be by doing so!

The greatest sins in the world were related to the tormenting of creatures! By doing this, although Zhu Yan saved the heart of a child and gave them a happy life. However, this was definitely a violation of the Tao of heaven!

Forcibly tampering with the memory of mortals, and even depriving them of their original life! Although in the reality of the world, children like Little Yun'er might not have the courage to live on, or they might directly break down mentally and die. It still could not change Zhu Yan's sins of modifying the life of mortal creatures!

”Brother Zhu, then you...” Lyu Liang did not dare to think further and could only stare at Zhu Yan in disbelief.

”Haha, what is good? And what is evil? Even if I am burned in hellfire for my sins, as long as I have a clear conscience, it is good! There are no laws and no Taos, no heavens and no earth, I am only me, and I am free to wander!” Zhu Yan laughed aloud. At the same time, traces of black Qi were emitted from his body, and a few faint dark red flames were beating within.

Lyu Liang couldn't help but take in a deep breath! Zhu Yan was not surrounded only by hellfire, sinister Qi had already formed around him! However, Lyu Liang actually expected the result just by looking at that many people in the ball.

”I don't know what magic treasure this is, but I obtained it by chance and accidentally discovered its use. I can usually create illusions for others, but only for people whose mind or Divine Soul has broken down. Then, by stimulating its 'complete state', I can take people into the world of happiness inside the ball. I have thought of this method since I met the first child with a mental breakdown,” Zhu Yan scratched his head in embarrassment when he talked about it. ”In your opinion, if the powerful figures in the world know me, I might be classified as a sinful and evil cultivator!”

Lyu Liang shook his head solemnly at Zhu Yan's words. At the same time, he bowed his hand to Zhu Yan and said word by word, ”'I am only me' and 'wandering freely', how wonderful! Taoism peer Zhu is a person with a genuine personality, and I admire that!”
