Chapter 532: Caught Lusting After A Fellow Disciple
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao sat attentively in the courtyard.
Luo Zhi smiled.
She wore a sheer dress, with an enticing bosom that peeked through it. Her slender waist gently swayed.
She did this deliberately to capture her target in one move.
There was no time to waste. Tonight, the results had to be achieved.
This was her best chance, otherwise, she wouldnât be able to escape the scrutiny of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Up till now, she had been cautious in her actions. There might not be any evidence against her yet. But continuing like this would be dangerous. âWhy did you suddenly decide to guard the mountain gate?â Luo Zhi looked at
Jiang Hao.
âBecause itâs an easy job,â Jiang Hao said and lowered his head.
He acted like he was afraid to meet her gaze.
He thought the conversation would quickly get away from them.
However, they talked a lot and still, the conversation wasnât heading to where Jiang Hao intended. He didnât know why she was still on her guard.
âIsnât she too talkative? Is it because my acting didnât meet her expectations?â
Jiang Hao couldnât sense her enchantment, so he found it a bit troublesome to cooperate.
It wasnât easy to act.
Jiang Hao pretended that he couldnât pay attention to her words.
She wasnât that interesting. Her words werenât even comparable to the sound of Hong Yuyeâs breathing.
âJunior Brother Jiang, do you still remember Yan Hua?â
âI do.â Jiang Hao nodded.
âDid she tell you anything, or give you something?â Luo Zhi asked. âNo. Yan Hua seems to have been killed,â Jiang Hao said. He couldnât say yes, but saying nothing wasnât an option either. Luo Zhi was surprised. âKilled? By whom?â
âI donât know. I didnât dare to get close.â Jiang Hao shook his head.
After that, Luo Zhi asked for more details, and Jiang Hao only mentioned what he could.
After a while, a dagger appeared in front of Jiang Hao.
âJunior Brother Jiang, take this,â Luo Zhi said gently.
Jiang Hao knew that she was about to do something and didnât refuse.
As he grabbed the dagger, she told him to stand up. Then, the dagger plunged into her belly.
Blood dripped from the wound.
Jiang Hao was astonished. She was indeed ruthless.
Boom!
Jiang Hao was sent flying, and the entire courtyard exploded.
Luo Zhi began to retreat. Her gaze was firm, and her voice was low. âJunior Brother Jiang, I never expected you to be a spy from the heavenly Saint Sect!â
Jiang Hao stood up and looked at her in confusion.
Of course, it was all an act.
Now, he didnât have to worry about being taken off the list. However, he didnât know how much of an impact this would have.
If Luo Zhi hadnât done this, he would have been left with no choice. Now, he had to make her suffer.
The loud noise drew people from the surroundings, and the Law Enforcement Hall arrived promptly.
If it were a conflict within their respective sects, they wouldnât interfere.
However, when it came to spies and traitors, it was their duty to intervene.
Both Mu Qi and Miao Tinglian had rushed over. They were surprised. They looked at Jiang Hao and Luo Zhi being taken away.
âSpy? Junior Brother Jiang? How is that possible?â Miao Tinglian couldnât believe it.
She felt that Luo Zhi was the undercover agent.
âYou used to be from the Heavenly Saint Sect too. Do you think itâs Luo Zhi?â Mu Qi asked.
âItâs hard to say. But since she is already here, she would have prepared for it.â
Miao Tinglian shook her head. âWill this incident implicate you?â
âIt shouldnât, but Junior Brother Jiang might be stuck in the suspect list even if he isnât a spy,â said Mu Qi.
âDoes the Master think highly of Junior Brother Jiang?â Miao Tinglian was curious.
âNot exactly, but he thinks he has talent. Recently, Junior Brother Jiang has made significant contributions in the Sea Fog Cave, and Master told me to pay more attention to the Law Enforcement Hallâs list. He wanted to promote him to the status of a True Disciple soon. Itâs a pityâŠâ
Miao Tinglian sighed. She felt a bit sorry for Jiang Hao. When she saw that Mu
Qi looked conflicted, she asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Mu Qi shook his head. âI donât know if itâs just a coincidence, but every time Junior Brother Jiang has the chance to make it out of the suspect list, he gets involved with spies and traitors.â
âWill he be okay?â
âProbably. His merits are still there. Unless there is irrefutable evidence, he canât be punished.â
At midnight, Jiang Hao was locked in the same small, dark room as before.
The only thing visible was a small window at the top.
He still remembered the first time he was here. Hong Yuye had visited him.
She had sat at a table and not uttered a word.
It seemed like she was waiting for him to ask for help, but unfortunately, the beast had offered it earlier.
He had placed all his hopes on the spirit beast. That was the only way he had been able to escape safely.
Now, he didnât feel the same restlessness he had felt before.
He wanted to leave this place, and it wasnât difficult.
He had come here voluntarily this time.
The following morning, Jiang Hao was summoned for interrogation. It was a woman in charge.
After some questioning, he was escorted out.
Looking at the sunshine, Jiang Hao was bewildered.
âso rast(â
It was beyond his expectations. He thought heâd be detained for at least three days.
âGood morning, Junior Brother Jiang.â Liu Xingchen greeted him with a smile. âAre you surprised that they let you out so soon?â
âIt is a bit surprising.â Jiang Hao nodded.
He was concerned that there might not be any charges against him.
âYou were released quickly because thereâs no evidence against you,â Liu Xingchen said.
âWithout evidence, the Law Enforcement Hall wouldnât dare to detain a person with the highest merits. However, no evidence doesnât mean youâre off the hook. Youâre still a person under investigation. You canât leave the sect temporarily. I believe you are familiar with the rules by now. As for taking your name off the suspect list, it will depend on the outcome of the investigation.â Liu Xingchen looked curious. Jiang Hao knew he would keep an eye on him.
Out of curiosity, he appraised Liu Xingchen.
The three remnant souls seemed somewhat apprehensive, but they were still plotting and planning against Liu Xingchen.
Moreover, they planned to continue recruiting other soul remnants. There was strength in numbers, after all.
Apart from this, Jiang Hao noticed Liu Xingchenâs growing interest in him.
He had completely forgotten about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.
âOh, by the way, I need to remind you. The mission of guarding the mountain has been transferred to you,â Liu Xingchen said. âBecause the matter is still under investigation, Luo Zhi canât leave the sect temporarily. Her original intention was to give over the task to you, so the mission is yours.â Jiang Hao wasnât surprised by this. It was just guarding the mountain gate. He could accept it.
He still had some free time, and it wouldnât interfere with his task of taking care of the divine flower.
After bidding farewell to Liu Xingchen, Jiang Hao returned to the courtyard.
Just as he stepped through the door, he saw a red figure inside. She looked up at him with a smile.
âXiao Li told me you were caught lusting after a fellow disciple.â
Jiang Hao felt anxious.
However, what surprised him more was that Xiao Li had met Hong Yuye.
As for the thing about lusting after someone, he simply explained the situation.
âSenior, besides you, I donât find anyone beautiful..â
