I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

The prior relationship between the few of them was nothing more than a former 'schoolmate' status, so it was not solid.

But the recent experiences broke the schoolmate identity, becoming a type that could cooperate with each other. As a result, the relationship seemed closer and more reliable than before.

Accompanying Wang Yanyu were sisters Cui'er.

However, the two of them weren't as fast as Wang Yanyu, so they controlled their swords to arrive a few breaths later after Wang Yanyu landed.

Earlier, Tian Lin had Wang Yanyu pose as Mei Xianfu to restrain Aunt Xin and others, also to protect Cui'er, and deal with those Punishment Envoys monitoring the small building.

Tian Lin had confidence in Wang Yanyu's strength, and sure enough, the two Golden Core Cultivators monitoring the small building became souls lost to Wang Yanyu's blade.

"Aunt Xin, why did you lie to me?"

Mei Xianfu had no intention of reminiscing with Wang Yanyu at this moment, and she approached Aunt Xin angrily to question her.

Bound by ropes, Aunt Xin and others didn't even think about escaping. Present, not even mentioning Master Kong Wu, Tian Lin or anyone else there could subdues them.

Even a Nascent Soul Powerhouse failed; what could they do now?

Aunt Xin's expression showed bitterness and said, "Hungry, I really was too hungry, we had no choice."

Mei Xianfu said, "You were hungry? Haven't we given you food during these days?"

Aunt Xin said, "Who would have thought you could turn the tables against a Nascent Soul Powerhouse? Unfortunately, people don't have foresight or hindsight, we can't see the future nor have regret pills. Otherwise, we wouldn't have wronged you."

Evidently, she was so afraid of hunger and didn't believe Mei Xianfu could escape from a Nascent Soul Powerhouse, so she yielded to the Nascent Soul Powerhouse, intending to assist the New Heaven Sect against Mei Xianfu and the Goddess Sect.

Mei Xianfu stopped looking at Aunt Xin, and instead turned her gaze to Aunt Shan: "You said your children all died at the hands of the New Heaven Sect, why would you still help the New Heaven Sect against me?"

Aunt Shan wasn't as afraid of death as Aunt Xin, she lifted her head and glared fiercely at Mei Xianfu, saying:

"The New Heaven Sect may be deserving of death, but isn't the Goddess Sect even more deserving? We did so many things for the Goddess Sect, but when chaos erupted, the Goddess Sect simply closed its doors and disregarded our lives. So the Goddess Sect deserved to die, just like you."

Mei Xianfu couldn't understand the logic in this, but she saw in Aunt Shan's eyes a hatred that indeed wished her dead.

Mei Xianfu laughed and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Well, that's how the world is. You betrayed me for your survival, which isn't necessarily wrong.

But today you failed, so killing you wouldn't be wrong either."

Master Kong Wu frowned, contemplating before saying:

"Mei Benefactor, now that you are unharmed, why not show great mercy and spare these female benefactors? First, their harm was not truly from malice. Second, their trap was seen through by Mr. Tian, ultimately causing no great harm."

How could Mei Xianfu possibly have forgiven Aunt Xin and others?

But since Master Kong Wu had just saved her, she had to acknowledge being indebted to Master Kong Wu.

Just when Mei Xianfu didn't know how to respond to Master Kong Wu, Tian Lin spoke up:

"Once they harbor murderous intent, even if unsuccessful, it's akin to having killed someone. Master, have you thought, if you let these people go, it would be fortunate if they sincerely repent. But if any among them retains malicious thoughts, what calamities might ensue? Then, can Master bear such karma?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Wu couldn't help but frown, recalling how, since leaving Leiyin Temple, his actions have unwittingly caused numerous deaths.

He fears not the Buddha's punishment for wrongdoing, but that punishment alone cannot redeem him.

"I, the Monk, know my foolishness, consistently finding my efforts counterproductive. But watching lives perish in front of my eyes goes against my heart."

He recited "Amitabha" and asked heaven, "Buddha, what should I do?"

Silence fell among everyone, until Mei Xianfu remarked: "If being a Cultivator means such indecision, what's the point of this Buddhist cultivation, Monk? Perhaps I should decide for you, and kill them all."

Then Master Kong Wu said: "Even if I owe Benefactor Mei a favor! Let me take these female benefactors away."

He promised, "I shall keep them by my side, enlightening them daily with Buddhist Scriptures. Unless they sincerely repent, they shall not be released to cause harm."

Hearing this, what more could anyone say?

To Tian Lin and Wang Yanyu, Aunt Xin and Aunt Shan actually posed little threat.

Ultimately, their desire to kill Aunt Shan and others was merely to prevent the evil consequences from this day's actions from occurring.

Their life and death ties were truly with Mei Xianfu.

However, Mei Xianfu agreed without hesitation: "Fine, since Master Kong Wu asks for mercy, I'll grant them a reprieve."

Evidently, the lives of Aunt Shan and others were no match for Master Kong Wu's favor.

Logically, Master Kong Wu traveled long distances to save their lives, which should be them owing him.

Yet through Master Kong Wu's actions, somehow inadvertently, he ended up owing Mei Xianfu's favor, resulting in a laughable outcome.

Nevertheless, Monk Kong Wu was overjoyed, thanking Mei Xianfu with pressed hands before looking toward the elderly women.

Tian Lin knew Monk Kong Wu wasn't eloquent, so he stepped forward to assist him, asking:

"You desired to harm me and Mei Xianfu; naturally, we should eliminate these future threats. But since Master Kong Wu has spoken, we may spare your lives. From now on, you must serve under Master Kong Wu, learning Buddhist Law under him—otherwise, we will not spare you."

Aunt Xin wanted to live, and live well with enough food.

Although joining the monk likely meant lacking savory food henceforth, as long as she stayed alive and ate, why worry over lacking meat?

She immediately kowtowed to Monk Kong Wu, "Xin Yue thanks Master for saving my life."

Monk Kong Wu wouldn't accept her worship and hurriedly kneeled to reciprocate.

Tian Lin next turned his gaze to Aunt Shan, asking: "What say you? Will you learn Buddhist Law from the Master, or shall we send you below to meet your children?"

Aunt Shan's lips trembled, unable to muster words defying death.

Watching this, Mei Xianfu chuckled contemptuously: "In the end, isn't it all about greedily clinging to life?"

She didn't pursue relentlessly but turned to Monk Kong Wu, saying: "Master, do you recall owing me a favor? I want you to destroy the New Heaven Sect, and I hope the Master keeps his word."

After saving several lives, Monk Kong Wu was delighted, little expecting Mei Xianfu's sudden striking demand.

His smile froze, and he said to Mei Xianfu: "This, asking me to kill, especially so many people. How can that be, how can it be possible?"

Mei Xianfu frowned slightly, saying: "Master, spewing promises, as a monastic, surely won't go back on your word?"
