Chapter 324: Chapter 20: I Want to See the Grain Rain Volume (Big Chapter, Asking for Monthly Tickets)

Outside the Taoist School.

"Hurry up..."

The Federation Security Committee was detaining Shen Li as they filed out of the Fourth Judge Li Yu’s Taoist School.

The leader of the Security Committee team, glaring at the young man with red silver handcuffs, bluntly said, "Shen Li, if it weren’t for your teacher’s protection... you would have been listed as an out-of-control long ago."

Rebelling during a containment task, uncontrollable, killing four targets!

This was a grave mistake!

In such a case, solitary confinement was already a lenient treatment.

Because of Li Yu’s prestige and status in Changye, the Security Committee decided to trust... On one hand, it was because Shen Li indeed could be considered a genius, deserving special treatment. On the other hand, as a Judge with unparalleled depth in the realm of the mind, it was most suitable for him to watch over his own disciple.

"The scenes just now inside the Taoist School... I’ve seen them all."

The person in charge lit a cigarette and pushed Shen Li into the car, speaking solemnly, "If there hadn’t been any obstruction... would the ’Iron Eater’ have melted other Transcendents, just like in the containment task?"

Shen Li just lowered his head, remaining silent.

The car door closed, and right before the vehicle was about to start, someone gently tapped on the window.

"Mr. Du Wei."

She was a young, charming woman with long wavy hair, who directly called out the name of the leader of this Security Committee team, and said with a soft laugh, "My teacher asked me to convey a message to you..."

Du Wei was taken aback.

He recognized the identity of the woman with a blooming smile through the darkened car window, then furrowed his brow... This was the Bai Family’s young mistress, known as "Long Wild Thorn," Bai Lu. It’s certain that nothing good comes from encounters with this woman.

And Bai Lu’s teacher...

"Grand Judge?"

Du Wei’s heart sank, then he rolled down the window. In the vague shadows, he barely made out a tall figure, his actions quick as lightning he tried to open the door, but a jade hand lightly stopped it from opening.

"My teacher asked me to convey a message... there’s no need for you to get out. Just listen."

Bai Lu spoke indifferently, her gaze peering through the crack of the window towards the handcuffed Shen Li in the back seat, smiling slightly, "Shen Li is a very important person for the prison... My teacher hopes the Security Committee will handle him properly."

Du Wei’s expression turned sour.

What does... this mean?

This statement, made without any evasion, was said to be for Du Wei... but in reality, everyone in the car, including the detainee Shen Li, heard it loud and clear.

"If Mr. Du Wei cannot understand, then this message should be passed to those above the Security Committee, and even higher. I’m sure they will understand," Bai Lu said calmly. "Also... I would not like to see any unwarranted injuries on my junior fellow disciple Shen Li. I believe you all should understand what that means."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li took a deep breath and raised his head.

Bai Lu said no more and left with a soft chuckle.

Watching the Federation Security Committee’s vehicle leave, she quickly stepped beside the Grand Judge, clicking her tongue and remarking, "Teacher... You came all this way just to say these words. Do you care that much for ’Shen Li’?"

An extremely dignified elder glanced at his disciple, a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.

The Grand Judge explained softly, "Shen Li is not important."

He was exceptionally tall, his shoulders draped in the prison’s standard robe, fluttering in the wind, he looked from a distance like a towering mountain.

"Shen Li is not important?" Bai Lu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What’s important is that Shen Li must not be wronged," the elder said, stepping towards the Taoist School.

...

...

Silence.

Or rather, solemnity... would be more accurate.

The entire Taoist School was deadly quiet because the majority who came to the Fourth Judge Daoist School today to observe this duel were Transcendents from within the prison, with a very few external Transcendents who were officials within the Three Institutions’ system, having almost no chance to see the "First of the Three Institutions" in the rumors.

Even Bai Chen, the Fourth Judge, a high-ranking figure, tensed up and became solemn upon hearing the arrival of the Grand Judge.

The crowd parted way.

There were, in fact, only two people entering the Taoist School.

An old man and a young man.

Bai Chen, who was sitting upright, furrowed his brows, watching his sister next to the Grand Judge waving at him with a smile, he immediately shot her a stern look, signaling that such disrespect should not occur.

Clearly, Bai Lu was not the type to care about the gazes of others, as she not only didn’t restrain herself but became even more unrestrained.

Realizing that he had made a foolish act, Bai Chen could only stay silent. Amidst the many glances that followed the girl’s wave, he chose to nod calmly, which was the most respectful "response" he could accept—Bai Lu took it begrudgingly, stopped waving, and ended the torment for Bai Chen.

"What an inauspicious arrival..."

Fatty Luo murmured, glaring at the girl next to the Grand Judge, grinding his teeth, "The Bai Family’s Witch is here."

Gu Nanfeng pondered for a moment before using a strand of Lan Qie, transmitting the sound, syncing Fatty Luo’s voice to Gu Shen’s ear, and then asked, "Explain a bit, what is the ’Bai Family’s Witch’?"

"Young Master... you’ve been away from Changye for too long."

Fatty Luo’s expression grew serious as he replied, "A few years ago, the Grand Judge took on a Closed-door Disciple, that is, Bai Lu from the Bai Family. This woman is full of cunning schemes, backed by a brother known as ’New Invincible of Changye’ and with the Grand Judge’s protection, she almost dictates in Changye... She’s been given an elegant name ’Long Wild Thorns’ by outsiders, but in reality..."
