Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Shen Anzhi never said much about such matters.

Since his mental state was damaged ten years ago, he has remained at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and his cultivation has almost stagnated, making him unworthy of the title of "Senior Brother".

I don't think I have much ability to teach people principles.

Or rather, he wanted to see what Zhu Wuyao would do.

Her words just now sounded like self-deprecation, making it unclear whether she had backed down or not.

"Junior sister, what if one day you intend to do a good deed but find yourself becoming a villain?"

Zhu Wuyao smiled. It wouldn't take a day. Since coming into this world, she had encountered many similar situations, enough for her to provide an answer.

She looked up at Shen Anzhi.

Back in Beixuan City, Zhu Wuyao felt that although he seemed kind, he almost never intervened when others suffered.

This is a case of "once bitten by a snake, twice shy of a well rope."

Were there any lessons learned before?

She looked at Shen Anzhi carefully and decided to take him as a negative example, and to look in the mirror whenever she felt emotionally unstable.

"I feel uneasy standing by and doing nothing, but I still feel uneasy offering help. Am I here to cultivate immortality or to suffer bad luck?"

"When the time came, I made my choice, and I will accept the consequences as they may."

Similarly, the cultivators of Nanli City viewed mortals as mere ants and killed them without a second thought.

Have you ever thought that someone would help them collect their debts?

On the Frosty Bridge, since she didn't want to die and used a game of chess to get the beggar to repay her life, she naturally had to think about cause and effect.

There's no reason why others can be killed but we can't be killed.

So, who would avenge a beggar...?

Zhu Wuyao suddenly turned around and looked straight at Xiao Liuzi in the room. He remembered that his grandfather seemed to have passed away.

Moreover, I have some entanglements with them.

"Senior Brother Shen, do you think it could be him?"

Shen Anzhi was pondering the phrase "accept the consequences along with everything" when the topic suddenly shifted to this point, and he almost didn't react in time.

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"It shouldn't be that; he's probably my karma."

"Your cause and effect?"

Shen Anzhi nodded and explained:

"Yes, that day Master called me over and said that as the senior brother of Zhaixing Tower, I should take care of my junior brothers, such as Xiao Liuzi."

"So I went to see him and saw a very deep karmic entanglement. Between him and me, there was hatred but no gratitude. Xiao Liuzi should come to me to collect his debt."

"The connection between you and him may have originated from me."

So that's how it is. No wonder Xiao Liuzi was following Shen Anzhi. Zhu Wuyao looked at him strangely. He was indeed a good person. Knowing that this person was coming to collect debts and seek revenge, he still kept him by his side.

If she knew about this, even if she wouldn't eliminate the threat completely, she certainly wouldn't be able to keep the person by her side.

They have absolutely no sense of vigilance.

Ok?

It seems that Sect Leader Fang also asked himself that day whether or not to take care of Xiao Liuzi. Judging from what Shen Anzhi said, it might not be unfounded.

Judging from his tone alone, it seemed that Sect Leader Fang thought Shen Anzhi should be in charge of him.

Zhu Wuyao glanced at Xiao Liuzi again.

He has a mutated wind spiritual root, so his cultivation speed might be extremely fast. After being bullied by his fellow disciples that day, he could easily frame people without hesitation.

No, I need to pay attention to my child's education when I have time.

Even if there is a real grudge, a weak and kind person is always easier to deal with than a powerful and evil person.

Shen Anzhi will probably do his best to nurture her in cultivation, and this matter has also caught the attention of Sect Leader Fang. Tsk, this is a bit troublesome...

Doesn't Xiao Liu sound like a protagonist template?

Not knowing who her biological parents are, possessing a mutated celestial spiritual root, she grew up with a powerful senior brother, and may even be burdened with a deep-seated blood feud. One day in the future, she will suddenly discover that her enemy is the person who took care of her since childhood...

hiss--

Then, he severed all grudges and cut off all ties with his sword, achieving enlightenment overnight.

Could it be that I am not the protagonist of this world, and Xiao Liu is the chosen one...?

No, absolutely not!

Judging from what Sect Leader Fang said, Xiao Liuzi might also be involved with him, and it's hard to say whether it's a favor or an enmity.

The child is still young; a sapling won't grow straight if it's not pruned. We need to pay more attention to his path to becoming a superhero.

Zhu Wuyao's gaze grew increasingly deep, which made Shen Anzhi quite worried. He felt that she was somewhat like a villain from a storybook.

"Junior sister, you must never do anything unjust."

Zhu Wuyao snapped out of his daze and asked, "Aren't you afraid of raising a tiger that will turn on you?"

Seeing Shen Anzhi remain silent, seemingly intending to continue shouldering the responsibility of raising him, she continued to ask:

"What if he not only has a grudge against you, but also against me, and plans to kill me in the future? What do you plan to do then?"

Shen Anzhi shook his head and said:

“I will teach him to distinguish right from wrong and not to act impulsively. He will understand that fate is hard to defy and there are many things that cannot be avoided. Besides, maybe you are wrong.”

"I can't criticize a child for something that didn't happen."

This is somewhat laughable, especially the phrase "teach him to distinguish right from wrong." No matter how you look at it, Shen Anzhi himself can hardly be considered a wise person.

Is this your attitude?

"Alright, then I'd like to see what kind of child you can raise. If he attacks you in the future, I'll definitely seek revenge."

"If retribution falls on me, I'll see what he's capable of, whether he can kill me."

Having said that, not wanting to argue any further, he turned to go inside.

Shen Anzhi's figure appeared before her.

Blocking the way.

Zhu Wuyao raised an eyebrow slightly, finding it somewhat amusing, and worried that she might harm Xiao Liuzi.

"Senior brother, what is your cultivation level?"

"Mid-stage Golden Core."

"Junior sister, I'm not trying to stop you, I just want to ask you not to tell him these things yet."

This time, Zhu Wuyao was somewhat surprised.

Shen Anzhi was actually only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

As far as she knew, Ye Xiaozhou was the youngest of the direct disciples, and he was already in the late stage of the Golden Core realm. She had thought that Shen Anzhi must have reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm.

With his cultivation at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he holds the position of the eldest disciple.

He must have some exceptional qualities.

No wonder Ye Xiaozhou didn't want to stay by his side. It seems that if one wants to act as one pleases, one must be at least at the late Golden Core stage.

She nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll go inside to get something and go to the library."

Shen Anzhi stepped aside, and Zhu Wuyao entered the house, saying to Xiao Liuzi:

"I'm going out for a bit. Wash the dishes and remember to close the door when you leave."

After saying that, he grabbed his storage bag, put on a coat, and slammed the door shut as he left.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't even know what she was angry about. She only realized halfway there that it was her own home.

As a result, she was so angry that she ran away from home.

Zhu Wuyao took a deep breath, feeling increasingly regretful. He should have thrown them both out.

That's it.

Since we're already here, Xu San'er should have already handed over the white amber stone to the affairs hall, and the contribution points for the mission should have been allocated to him.

It's such a big piece; even if three people divide it, they should get quite a bit.

Even if you can't get a top-tier sword technique, there might be a lower-tier one that suits you.

If you have to accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for a superior sword technique, by the time you get it, the Immortal Cultivation Conference will have arrived, and you won't have time to practice at all.
