Master Gu's eyes lit up, "That's certainly a good thing, but..."
If he remembered correctly, Mingluo did not seem to have any intention of getting involved with the Xuanmen Association.
Minglu smiled and said calmly, "Yesterday, I met Li Mingshi of the Celestial Masters Sect at my home."
Master Gu looked displeased. The Celestial Master Sect was really outrageous. A group of old men bullying a girl showed no respect for elders, and they even brought their entire sect to bully her. It was simply too much.
"I will give you an explanation for this matter. Where is Li Mingshi?"
He was a little worried that Li Mingshi might launch a sneak attack and hurt Mingluo.
Alas, Li Mingshi was considered a decent person in the Celestial Masters Sect. Because he refused to change his surname to Zhao, he never got along well with his fellow disciples. He was a breath of fresh air, but unexpectedly, he was also dragged into the same corrupt ways.
Minglu coughed lightly, "Master Gu, don't worry, I just gave him a little lesson, I didn't hurt him."
Nie Yuchen: "..."
It crushed someone's confidence and shattered their worldview; it turns out this was just a casual lesson.
That's really too casual.
"..." Master Gu paused for a moment. He was wrong. He should have been worried about Li Mingshi.
However, it's good that Li Mingshi is alright.
“They were indeed wrong in this matter, and I will have someone from the Celestial Masters Sect come to apologize to you in person. I went to the Celestial Masters Sect last time and found some things, but they were all superficial and I couldn’t see anything substantial.”
Master Gu sighed softly.
That's the current situation: there are policies from above, and countermeasures from below.
He had barely begun to investigate the Celestial Masters Sect when the Celestial Masters Sect had already made all the necessary preparations. Since everyone there came from the Xuanmen (mystical sects) and was connected to each other, any action taken could have far-reaching consequences.
That day, as soon as he arrived at the Celestial Masters Sect's residence in the capital, the people inside came out to greet him, and the information displayed in the open was all very proper.
He inquired why the talisman possessed malevolent energy.
The Celestial Masters also had their own explanation: after they drew the talismans, they were framed, and that person infused them with their own malevolent energy.
He knew perfectly well that those people were talking nonsense, but he didn't have a search warrant and couldn't rashly take action against an old and established sect, because that would be a major taboo for the entire sect.
Master Gu gave a wry smile: "It seems I'm getting old and can't command respect anymore."
The new generation is resentful of the old men, and the old men themselves are also fiercely fighting amongst themselves. He is very worried about the future of the entire Xuanmen sect.
His gaze fell on Mingluo, a glimmer of hope flickering within him, yet he dared not be certain.
Minglu asked, "What about Master Zhao? What is he like in person?"
"His complexion isn't very good; he looks extremely weak. He says you've shortened his lifespan!" Master Gu's brows furrowed solemnly.
If Zhao Tianshi is considered wicked, then Mingluo is no less so; she's quite wicked too.
Minglu's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Yes, indeed. Master Zhao almost got himself into a murder case. He attacked innocent mortals. It's nothing for me to take a bit of his lifespan, right? Besides, I now suspect that he actually already has a murder case on his hands."
“Mingluo, words are not enough. I saw it with my own eyes that day. He certainly hadn’t taken any lives yet. Otherwise, I would have been the first to not let him go.” Master Gu’s expression was solemn. This was something he absolutely could not allow.
Minglu smiled. "There are many ways to conceal one's malevolent aura in this world. I know dozens myself. It's too easy to go unnoticed. Anyway, the Celestial Masters have offended me. I plan to make a living through the methods of the Xuanmen in the future. So, in this Xuanmen competition, would you please give me a spot?"
