Chapter 478: Chapter 87_2

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuyou’s chest began to heave, and blood trickled continuously from the corners of his mouth.

*Anyone would be furious if their pride was so casually dismissed.*

*What’s even more infuriating was that the other person didn’t seem to be showing off at all, merely stating facts.*

In every place, every faction had its own Summoning Gods Skill, with different names and different entities being summoned.

The memorial tablets in Alii’s memory were actually a type of Summoning Gods Skill from the Qin and Liu families. Moreover, they were of high rank, which could have protected Alii, but due to special reasons, the spirits were all gone.

Li Zhiyuan had known for a long time that he was someone who struggled with summoning spirits.

"Why... do you keep ghosts?"

"For guarding the door."

"Raising ghosts harms the natural order and is considered a heretical act."

"Oh, fine. I’ll release her later and let her mess with a few college students to her heart’s content."

"I... I didn’t mean it that way."

Li Zhiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin, then looked down to drink his beverage.

Tan Wenbin said, "You’re in the same dorm as Lu Yi, so I’ll be honest with you. Those high heels initially targeted Lu Yi. If Brother Xiao Yuan and I hadn’t happened to run into it, who knows what would have happened to Lu Yi by now."

Upon hearing this explanation, Lin Shuyou’s expression softened.

Clearly, he had a good relationship with the senior from the Northeast in the same dorm, who was in his sophomore year.

"But you... shouldn’t use ghosts to do your bidding."

Li Zhiyuan didn’t respond.

Tan Wenbin continued, "Brother Xiao Yuan made an agreement with her. Before we leave campus, we will help her find her skeleton and help her spirit pass on peacefully."

"But, no matter what... using ghosts is wrong."

Lin Shuyou’s voice had grown very small.

"You see, you barged into our dorm tonight, and those high heels came in handy, didn’t they? Also, we’ve been busy lately and haven’t had time to put her spirit to rest."

Tan Wenbin deliberately twisted the truth and continued,

"By the way, why were you there that night? My dad almost shot you."

"Your dad?"

"Yeah, didn’t you know?"

"No, I didn’t."

"Damn, if you had known, would you have come to get back at me first?"

"I couldn’t be bothered to stay and be questioned. Him shooting at me as a police officer was appropriate. Why would I retaliate against you?"

"Uh..." Tan Wenbin smacked his lips, "Why are you being so straightforward? I don’t have a gold star to give you."

"I heard about the case from senior Lu Yi in the dorm and thought I’d go check out the scene that night."

"You really have too much free time." Tan Wenbin rolled his eyes at him.

"Your dad... has good aim."

"Actually, my dad is even better with the whip, and his kicking skills are top-notch. Ever heard of the Tan family’s 36-way kicking technique?"

"I’ve heard of it."

"Ha, I personally taught those moves to my dad."

Li Zhiyuan observed Lin Shuyou’s subtle expressions. Even though his stage makeup had not yet been removed, he could still tell he wasn’t lying.

*In truth, according to Li Zhiyuan’s usual style, he should have buried this guy a long time ago.*

*But the thing was, one, this guy hadn’t launched a sneak attack on him or Tan Yunlong that night. Two, tonight he entered the dorm empty-handed. Three, in the fight, he clearly held back against Tan Wenbin.*

*If it weren’t for the trap Li Zhiyuan set, forcing him into a divination that made him lose absolute control, he probably would have planned to bring him to a place like this to question him.*

*If it could be confirmed that this guy was simply an upright young man, keeping him would be better than burying him.*

*It would be like having an extra layer of justice on the same floor.*

*Furthermore, when something happens in the future, he could be driven to work under the pretext of ’safeguarding the world and eliminating evil.’*

*His own Grandmaster loved such stubborn mules.*

However, Li Zhiyuan had no intention of recruiting him into his own gang because Lin Shuyou was too ethical.

Not like Run Sheng, who put himself first, nor like Tan Wenbin, who had a flexible moral compass.

As for Yin Meng, she joined the group with the backing of Yin Fuhai.

Yin Meng, in her mind, was like ’following whomever she was with’ and considered herself the new Sect Leader of the Yin family.

In short, Li Zhiyuan didn’t like the idea of having someone with too many principles being inserted into his team.

At this moment, Lin Shuyou, still captivated by Tan Wenbin’s nonsense, had no idea he had already been positioned as a tool by the young man sitting opposite him.

Li Zhiyuan glanced at Tan Wenbin again, and Tan Wenbin immediately changed the subject:

"By the way, where are you really from, anyway?"

"Huzhou."

"Oh, in Zhejiang."

Li Zhiyuan reminded, "Fuzhou?"

Lin Shuyou replied, "Right, Fuzhou."

Tan Wenbin asked, "So who taught you your skills?"

"My grandfather and my master..."

With this reminder, Lin Shuyou finally realized what he needed to do. He looked at Li Zhiyuan seriously, and though he was still gasping for air, he spoke as quickly as he could:

"With three incense sticks above, a temple stands on Shizhu Peak, the altar opens at Longjiangkou, sitting and watching clouds and wind. May I ask, from which sect do you come?"

Tan Wenbin responded, "Huh, how did you know we’re Corpse Recovery Divers?"

Lin Shuyou explained, "I recognize the Yellow River Shovel."

Li Zhiyuan continued to sit there and answered, "The Liu family on the river."

Lin Shuyou asked in shock, "Dragon King Liu?"

"Yes."

"You worship the Dragon King?"

Li Zhiyuan pondered for a moment. It used to be normal to say he worshipped the Dragon King, but now that he was about to be initiated, it was no longer suitable. Because, like at the Ding family banquet in Mountain City last time, people who were nominally under the Liu family could also claim they worshipped the Dragon King.
