Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The Ancestor’s Reciprocal Gift

Jiangli refrained from further jesting with Xia Xin.

Lifting his gaze, he saw Qiang Hongtao’s eyes growing redder, and there was a disturbing trend of increasing Evil Qi around him.

Jiangli’s fingertips made a slight motion.

All of a sudden, Qiang Hongtao’s movements froze, as if his pressure points had been hit.

His eyes gradually cleared, and realizing something, he turned his head to look at Jiangli.

Jiangli spoke in a calm voice, "Alright, it’s enough to just scare him. If you really kill someone, it’s not good for you. Come here, leave the rest to the Governor’s Office."

Qiang Hongtao hesitated for a moment, glancing at Shi Dahai, who looked as though he were dead, feeling an unresolved resentment.

He truly wanted to murder this man.

If it weren’t for someone like Shi Dahai, who valued money over human life, he wouldn’t have died.

Then he would still have the chance to stay by his wife’s side, waiting for the birth of their child with Zhang Meijuan.

Thinking of this filled him with regret and hatred.

Jiangli’s brows furrowed, "Qiang Hongtao, I don’t really want to fight you."

Qiang Hongtao clenched his teeth, reluctant, but he knew Jiangli was trying to do what was best for him.

After he had entered Fengdu, he had come to understand that place.

The Heavenly Dao cherishes life, valuing all living beings.

Even though he was killed by Shi Dahai, at most, he could present Shi Dahai’s crimes in Fengdu after his death or wait for someone to uncover the truth behind his own death before Shi Dahai could be punished.

How utterly unfair.

Qiang Hongtao returned to Jiangli’s side with unrestrained hatred, barely concealing his bitterness.

"Heavenly Dao is unjust."

Hearing his words, Jiangli chuckled.

"Heavenly Dao, that thing? It has never been fair."

Qiang Hongtao was stunned.

So was Xia Xin.

Neither had expected Jiangli to say such a thing.

They had both thought that, since Jiangli belonged to Xuanmen, he must surely be a supporter of the Heavenly Dao.

But from what Jiangli said, it seemed that even the Heavenly Dao was quite flawed.

Xia Xin was somewhat confused.

Jiangli’s young face showed no emotion as if what was said was done and dusted.

Then, he calmly addressed Song Taishan, "Captain Song, I’ll leave the following matters to you. There shouldn’t be any problems now, right?"

Song Taishan nodded again and again, "Of course, we have full video surveillance here."

Jiangli expressed agreement with a "good," and the next second, she stepped forward to Shi Dahai, patted his cheek, and said, "Uncle, if you don’t want Qiang Hongtao to come crawling into your bed at night again, then you better not reverse your statement, oh."

After speaking, Jiangli left with a meaningful smile.

Shi Dahai was so frightened that his body shook, and his consciousness nearly blurred.

Ghosts are scary...

But this young girl is just as terrifying!

"Well, Captain Song, we’ll be heading back now. If there’s anything you need, you can contact us."

Xia Xin greeted Song Taishan and then followed Jiangli away.

When Jiangli led Qiang Hongtao out of the interrogation room, they saw the Abbot waiting outside.

"Abbot."

Upon seeing Jiangli, the Abbot bowed with his hands folded in greeting.

Jiangli handed over Qiang Hongtao to him, "Things are settled here; you take him back, Old Cui."

The Abbot nodded, about to reply.

Jiangli flipped his right hand over, and an object resembling a gem appeared in his palm, which he passed to the Abbot.

"For the matter of Netherworld Water, thank you. This object is useless to me; consider it compensation for the thousand years of Cultivation Base you lost."

The Abbot’s eyes widened with shock at first, then swiftly turned ecstatic.

Even he, who normally maintained composure as if Mount Tai were collapsing before him, struggled to control his facial expression this time.

He bowed gently, almost reverently accepting the object.

"Thank you, Abbot, thank you, Abbot! If there’s anything you need in the future, just command me, Cui. Whether it’s scaling mountains of knives or plunging into seas of flame, Cui will not hesitate!"

The Abbot, who just a moment before was considering distancing himself from Jiangli, now completely changed his demeanor, as if he wished to call Jiangli his dear mother.

Jiangli gestured dismissively and left with the puzzled Xia Xin.

The Abbot carefully stowed away the object and led Qiang Hongtao away as well.
