Upon hearing this, Feng Jiutian glanced at him sideways.
It turns out that what she said earlier wasn't because she didn't understand, but rather to help him out of an awkward situation and deliberately make him happy.
Thinking about it this way, Feng Jiutian felt somewhat ashamed. The righteous person he spoke of wanted to kill someone the moment they met, which was extremely damaging to the image of justice.
Having just been rescued by Xiang Wan and Feng Jiutian, and seeing her ask such a direct question, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you both for saving us. We have no way to repay you. If you don't do anything immoral in the future, we will not harm you."
"Do you dare to swear an oath?"
This question made Xiang Wan seem a bit unreasonable, and even Feng Jiutian disagreed. In his mind, doing good deeds without expecting anything in return was the conduct of a gentleman.
"Zi Yan, you..."
"Master, you dare to swear to heaven that you won't hurt me. I'm not a bad person, so why don't they dare to swear an oath? Does that mean they can hurt others at will once they leave this place?"
This statement may sound far-fetched, but it is the truth. Xiang Wan is not only not a bad person, but she has also saved them. To put her mind at ease, she is merely making a vow. What is there to hesitate about? If she ever does evil, they can certainly take action then.
Aren't many righteous people committing evil deeds under the guise of protecting the common people? If they truly do not harm the innocent as they declare, then making an oath is merely icing on the cake, so why not?
Seeing Xiang Wan's insistence, the group felt somewhat embarrassed. However, having heard that Qing Jiu had done the same, they, though not saints, considered themselves timid and indecisive. Thus, at Xiang Wan's request, they all swore an oath: "As long as Miss Zi Yan does not do anything immoral, we will not harm her in the slightest. If we break this oath, may we be struck down by heaven and earth!"
The Heavenly Dao has done enough of things like being struck by lightning; these cultivators have been struck countless times, yet they still live perfectly well. Therefore, vows meant for ordinary people naturally cannot be applied to them, just like Qing Jiu's vow.
Why is Xiang Wan so insistent on having others swear oaths? It's simple: this is a rule of Heaven that binds the gods and demons. Otherwise, wouldn't they be invincible?
Having received a satisfactory answer, Xiang Wan sat down to the side and began chatting with them. The left and right magic arrays wouldn't stop absorbing celestial energy anytime soon, and they had nothing to do, nor could they cultivate; they couldn't just sit there staring blankly, could they?
