“What if I say no?”
Zhang Xuan looked over.
When it was time for them to testify, they were cowardly as mice, falsely accusing their benefactor, and now they shamelessly came running for money—truly, those pitiable often have a detestable side.
“Not repay? You’re pushing the two of us—grandfather and grandson—to our deaths...”
The old man suddenly fell to the ground, weeping and wailing: “Everyone, come and judge for yourselves, this is the money that could save our lives, to take it and not return it, is to murder, to kill us!”
The child also looked over with a wronged expression: “Big brother, we really need the money...”
Ignoring their grievances, Zhang Xuan said indifferently, “Firstly, the money wasn’t taken by me, it was taken by that Yao Chunwen. If you want it back, go ask him! Secondly, I just took action to help you, shouldn’t you repay me?”
“Repay? What do you mean? You take our money, and not only do you not think about returning it, you want us to pay you, is that right?”
The old man struggled on the ground, crying out as if throwing a tantrum: “Everyone look, this guy has no compassion, took our money, not only not returning it but also wants us to repay him, is there no sense of justice...”
His shout caught the attention of everyone around, who immediately looked over in unison, their gazes filled with sympathy for Zhang Xuan.
The most troublesome thing isn’t being targeted by bad people, but by good people; with bad people, you can use a variety of thunderous methods, but good people can bind you with all sorts of morals, leaving you unable to even express anger.
“No roaring allowed here!”
Just then, a faint voice sounded, and the old man who was crying and shouting suddenly closed his mouth, his voice as if muted, unable to utter another word.
“Woo woo woo...”
His eyes filled with panic, the old man looked around, his gaze involuntarily settling on the direction from which the voice emanated.
Zhang Xuan glanced over as well.
Empyrean Kong shi sat in his seat, quietly drinking tea, his face showing a serene smile.
“Brother Zhang, come have some tea...”
“It’s not Saying Follows Law, but a binding force formed under the rules of Heavenly Destiny! Like when I said no roaring allowed here, he would immediately shut his mouth. But if I said no eating, sleeping, or whispering was allowed, the power would be much less, maybe not even forming a constraint,” continued Empyrean Kong shi.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
With the Heavenly Destiny of Ceremony, whether forming the Nine God Monarchs or a Force Field, when setting rules within the “etiquette” field, the effects are much greater, and outside of this scope, it’s almost useless.
“Have my insights into the Giant Wave Formation reached the Peak of Fifth Level, and Mo Dao reached the Fourth Realm Peak; can I also form a Force Field?”
A thought emerged.
The Giant Wave Formation is a branch of the ‘Strength’ Heavenly Destiny, at its prime reaching grade-5, capable of releasing a powerful aura of oppression.
What kind of rules would this Force Field form?
While he pondered, the child nearby noticed something was wrong with his grandfather and hurried over with urgency: “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you?”
“I, I... cough cough!”
The old man opened his mouth a few times, found he could speak normally, and then he took a breath of relief, his gaze filled with hatred towards Zhang Xuan and the other: “They must have used some despicable means...”
The child looked puzzled: “Means?”
The old man nodded: “Yes, their means must obey certain rules. Indeed, in a public setting, roaring is inappropriate, hence the restriction on speech! But... I’m asking him for money because he took ours, to demand it back is only right and proper. I’ve done no wrong! As long as we are in the right, they can’t do anything to us!”
He whispered to his grandson when he heard the young man nearby look over indifferently, his chilling voice immediately rising.
“Apologize!”
“Want me to apologize? I did no wrong, what is there to apologize for...”
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows, shouted angrily, but before he could finish, he suddenly felt an overwhelming oppressive force descend from the sky, like a lone man facing a hundred-foot Giant Wave, at any moment ready to be swept away.
Terror, panic, a myriad of thoughts flooded him in an instant.
Thump!
His knees involuntarily bent, his body limp as noodles, no longer able to move.
