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 wouldn’t 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. “Why did you suddenly decide to guard the mountain gate?” Luo Zhi looked at

Jiang Hao.

“Because it’s an easy job,” 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 wasn’t heading to where Jiang Hao intended. He didn’t know why she was still on her guard.

‘Isn’t she too talkative? Is it because my acting didn’t meet her expectations?’

Jiang Hao couldn’t sense her enchantment, so he found it a bit troublesome to cooperate.

It wasn’t easy to act.

Jiang Hao pretended that he couldn’t pay attention to her words.

She wasn’t that interesting. Her words weren’t even comparable to the sound of Hong Yuye’s breathing.

“Junior Brother Jiang, do you still remember Yan Hua?”

“I do.” Jiang Hao nodded.

“Did she tell you anything, or give you something?” Luo Zhi asked. “No. Yan Hua seems to have been killed,” Jiang Hao said. He couldn’t say yes, but saying nothing wasn’t an option either. Luo Zhi was surprised. “Killed? By whom?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t dare to get close.” 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.

“Junior Brother Jiang, take this,” Luo Zhi said gently.

Jiang Hao knew that she was about to do something and didn’t 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. “Junior Brother Jiang, I never expected you to be a spy from the heavenly Saint Sect!”

Jiang Hao stood up and looked at her in confusion.

Of course, it was all an act.

Now, he didn’t have to worry about being taken off the list. However, he didn’t know how much of an impact this would have.

If Luo Zhi hadn’t 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 wouldn’t 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.

“Spy? Junior Brother Jiang? How is that possible?” Miao Tinglian couldn’t believe it.

She felt that Luo Zhi was the undercover agent.

“You used to be from the Heavenly Saint Sect too. Do you think it’s Luo Zhi?” Mu Qi asked.

“It’s hard to say. But since she is already here, she would have prepared for it.”

Miao Tinglian shook her head. “Will this incident implicate you?”

“It shouldn’t, but Junior Brother Jiang might be stuck in the suspect list even if he isn’t a spy,” said Mu Qi.

“Does the Master think highly of Junior Brother Jiang?” Miao Tinglian was curious.

“Not 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 Hall’s list. He wanted to promote him to the status of a True Disciple soon. It’s a pity…”

Miao Tinglian sighed. She felt a bit sorry for Jiang Hao. When she saw that Mu

Qi looked conflicted, she asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mu Qi shook his head. “I don’t know if it’s 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.”

“Will he be okay?”

“Probably. His merits are still there. Unless there is irrefutable evidence, he can’t be punished.”

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 didn’t feel the same restlessness he had felt before.

He wanted to leave this place, and it wasn’t 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.

‘so rast(‘

It was beyond his expectations. He thought he’d be detained for at least three days.

“Good morning, Junior Brother Jiang.” Liu Xingchen greeted him with a smile. “Are you surprised that they let you out so soon?”

“It is a bit surprising.” Jiang Hao nodded.

He was concerned that there might not be any charges against him.

“You were released quickly because there’s no evidence against you,” Liu Xingchen said.

“Without evidence, the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t dare to detain a person with the highest merits. However, no evidence doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. You’re still a person under investigation. You can’t 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.” 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 Xingchen’s growing interest in him.

He had completely forgotten about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower.

“Oh, by the way, I need to remind you. The mission of guarding the mountain has been transferred to you,” Liu Xingchen said. “Because the matter is still under investigation, Luo Zhi can’t leave the sect temporarily. Her original intention was to give over the task to you, so the mission is yours.” Jiang Hao wasn’t surprised by this. It was just guarding the mountain gate. He could accept it.

He still had some free time, and it wouldn’t 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.

“Xiao Li told me you were caught lusting after a fellow disciple.”

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.

“Senior, besides you, I don’t find anyone beautiful..”
