Chapters 971 and 972: Buddha is blind
These five saints all eventually died from poisoning.
Yu Muhan exhaled softly, and the lightsaber in her hand quickly transformed into light-elemental spiritual energy, merging into her body.
After a while, she turned her head and looked at Yun Fusang, who was standing there in a daze.
The two stared at each other for a moment before Yun Fusang finally reacted and asked in a dry voice, "What exactly happened to you in the past five years? Why... did the Holy Church annihilate the Yu clan?"
Yu Muhan lowered his eyes, his fingertips clenched tightly by her.
Before she could say a word, footsteps could be heard outside the bathroom.
The two looked up and saw Xie Qingui and the abbot of Jingshui Temple.
The abbot, gazing at the bloodstains and corpses scattered on the ground, closed his eyes with a sense of unbearable sorrow, clutching his prayer beads and murmuring, "Amitabha! This is a sacred Buddhist site; bloodshed is forbidden, and killing is prohibited..."
Yu Muhan clasped his hands together and bowed to the abbot, saying, "Abbot, I killed the person. All the damage here can be attributed to me. I will compensate for the incense money later. I hope the abbot will not hold it against me."
The abbot stared at Yu Muhan, who was covered in blood, for a moment, then realized: "Are you the Miss Yu who came alone to pay respects to her parents three years ago?"
Yu Muhan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that after three years, the abbot of Jingshui Temple would still recognize her.
She didn't hide anything and nodded: "It's me."
The abbot glanced at the corpse on the ground again and sighed softly: "Why did you do this, benefactor? After death, all grudges return to dust. You can't take them with you or erase them. If you can do good deeds and accumulate merit, Buddha will open his eyes and surely allow you to be with your parents again in your next life and continue your previous relationship."
Yu Muhan remained silent.
She strode up to the abbot, her back to the candlelight, her bloodstains seemingly hidden in the shadows, her once bright eyes now filled with sorrow.
"If Buddha has opened his eyes, why must I suffer so much?"
"Does Buddha think my pain is not enough, or is He simply indifferent to the suffering of all living beings?"
Her eyes were slightly red, and her words were filled with anguish: "My whole life has been lived for revenge! I've lost my body and my heart, and even my last support perished in the flames, leaving no trace of my body! No one has taught me how to become a 'good person' protected by Buddha..."
"Buddha saves the virtuous, but who can save me?"

After the first seven nights, Yu Muhan was taken back to Lingfeng Academy by Yun Fusang.
She killed the Seven Divine Messengers and the five saints who followed them; the Great Divine Messenger will surely find out soon.
I can no longer return to the Holy Church.
Yu Muhan stood at the entrance of the academy, his eyes slightly dazed.
Yun Fusang turned around and saw her standing motionless at the door. He asked, "Aren't you afraid to come in?"
Yu Muhan came to her senses, shook her head, and gave a bitter smile: "Now that things have come to this, what is there to be afraid of?"
yes.
She's utterly useless; she has... nothing left to lose.
Yun Fusang asked Xie Qin to find a clean, empty room for her tutor, and then led her to the dormitory.
After closing the door, Yun Fusang poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her: "So, five years ago, you deliberately said those nasty things to us so that we would stay away from you?"
Yu Muhan took the teacup, sipped the tea, and said calmly, "The Holy Sect is too dangerous. I don't want to drag you into utter ruin."
Looking at her thin profile, Yun Fusang felt a mix of emotions.
She had no idea that the five years she had experienced in the Holy Church were so dark and so unbearable...
Yun Fusang walked over and gently embraced her, saying in a deep voice, "I'm sorry... If only I could help you escape."
