Chapter 760: Chapter 762: Wisdom Sword Emotional Cutting, An Undeserved Misfortune

"Daoist, this really is an unwarranted disaster you’ve dragged me into,"

In a small alleyway, Qin Muye walked casually along, his tone tinged with a touch of mockery as he looked at Fan Hua not far away.

Next to Fan Hua floated a translucent longsword, which, after Qin Muye’s arrival, plunged directly into Fan Hua’s head and disappeared.

’Red Dust Dao·Wisdom Sword, this one is... extraordinary. I originally thought it was to suppress delusional thoughts, but it turned out to be more radical, going straight to Emotional Cutting.’

’It’s truly like turning into a dragon at the first encounter with wind and cloud; Fan Hua is impressive.’

The attributes of Spiritual Beasts from the Red Dust Path are quite peculiar, similar to the Mirror Demon, except they are not born from tangible matter but from the intangible, most notably from human desires and whims.

This Spiritual Beast, known as the Wisdom Sword, is particularly special; it can only have a chance of being born after one has gone through major tribulations and has let go of everything.

The core of the Innate Spiritual Beast Technique is undoubtedly Emotional Cutting. This ’emotional’ aspect does not refer to love, but to all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts and desires. Its most characteristic feature is to sever all sorts of negative states targeting the soul, mind, and thinking and to enable Spirit Masters to maintain a constant state of peace, roughly equivalent to a reinforced version of the Wise State.

Of course, the fact that this Wisdom Sword exists is largely thanks to Fan Hua himself, not because he had an epiphany after getting the Wisdom Sword but because the Wisdom Sword could only be born after an epiphany. The causality between the two cannot be reversed. Such a Spiritual Beast cannot be contracted by outsiders; it can only be contracted directly if it is born to them. If he forgoes the contract, then Spiritual Beasts of the Red Dust Path will vanish.

"Indeed, this matter is my fault, and I have caused you trouble," Fan Hua also apologized, acknowledging his responsibility.

"I’m more curious, why did that fellow seek you out, for something like... you slept with his wife?" Qin Muye asked with full curiosity, a question that definitely needed addressing.

Fan Hua couldn’t help but give a wry smile before saying, "It’s just a foolish thing from the past."

"When you say foolish, do you mean you were thinking with your big head or your little head?" Qin Muye inquired pointedly about the matter concerning the head.

Fan Hua did not pursue Qin Muye’s ribald jest and instead spoke gravely, "Daoist, you better leave quickly. This time, I have offended the great Mu Family, and this matter won’t end well."

"Is there a possibility that the person from the Mu Family you cuckolded now thinks I’m in cahoots with you, preparing to capture me to threaten you?" Qin Muye said earnestly.

"This... is indeed possible," Fan Hua also realized, as great families are exceedingly domineering and wouldn’t care for your explanations, so it was indeed a possibility.

"But then again, why would the great family send only so few people?" Qin Muye asked again, reasoning that families with vast wealth and resources should just send a Scattered Immortal from their clan to capture someone. With Fan Hua’s minor strength, he would have no power to resist.

"This is a long story, better left untold. I think we should discuss how to extricate you from this situation," Fan Hua clearly remained cautious, skipping over that matter.

"..." Qin Muye thought this was thinking way too much; after all, they wouldn’t see it that way.

"Yes, here’s an idea. You kill the other party and marry the widow in his place. That way, you not only reap the benefits, but I can also escape unscathed," Qin Muye pondered. As long as the aggrieved party died and he took his widow, there would be no more problems.

Fan Hua was truly shocked by Qin Muye’s idea. He had already caused trouble by failing to control his own actions, and now to kill another would indeed be an atrocious act.

"Daoist, such words must not be spoken. If such a thing were to happen, wouldn’t that make one a villain? To kill a man and take his wife would truly go against propriety and morality," Fan Hua hurriedly said.

"!!!" Qin Muye looked shocked. Had this guy been possessed? Back in his laboratory, Fan Hua had been so defiant, and now he had turned into such a goody-two-shoes. Was the Wisdom Sword that fearsome?

Perhaps he should send one to his main body to see if it could bring him back to the right path... Well, on second thought, it was more likely that the Wisdom Sword would turn into a Demon Sword or even a Desire Sword.

"Then do you have any other ideas?" Qin Muye spread his hands, signifying he was out of options, and if Fan Hua had a better one, he should just say it.

Fan Hua was also tangled, indeed lacking any good solution. As for coming out to clarify? That was even more unreliable, as it would only convince the son-in-law from the Mu Family that he was helping Qin Muye to escape, making it even less likely for him to let Fan Hua go.

"How about, Daoist, you take off, go far away..." Fan Hua finally bit the bullet and suggested.

"Not a bad idea, but I have one small question for you," Qin Muye’s expression turned serious.

"Excuse me." Fan Hua felt that something was not quite right in his heart.

"On what grounds?" Qin Muye asked.

"What?" Fan Hua was puzzled, what ’on what grounds’? He was somewhat unable to understand.

"On what grounds should I bear the consequences of the mistakes you’ve made along with you? We can say we are complete strangers. You have involved me in this undeserved disaster, and when I gave you advice you said it wasn’t acceptable, but instead, you want me to take the responsibility. Tell me, on what grounds?" Qin Muye stared at Fan Hua, asking very seriously.

For a moment, Fan Hua was left speechless, not for any other reason but because Qin Muye’s words were indeed reasonable.

This set off various thoughts in his mind. The Wisdom Sword wanted to help him sever these troubles, but he stopped it from doing so; he really did handle things unscrupulously.

"I... I..." He opened his mouth wanting to say something to explain, but the words were stuck in his heart and he couldn’t utter them.

"So, the trouble you’ve caused should not be mine to bear. I was living well and good here, but because of you, I ended up in this state, all because I kindly gave you a piece of advice. Tell me, isn’t that miserable?" Qin Muye directly stood on the moral high ground and pointed out Fan Hua’s fault.

It seemed that after the transformation, this kid became an honest person. As the saying goes, you can deceive a gentleman with square dealings but an honest person can be deceived in the same way.

Otherwise, why say it’s best to have an honest person take the blame and carry the burden? It’s because they are easy to bully, especially when the other party is unreasonable.

"I’ll go beg... someone, even if... even if... I accept it." Fan Hua’s speech was halting; he intended to mention a certain name, but was unable to say it and ended up using "someone" as a vague reference instead.

"Ah, this... I don’t think you can make it there alive. Why don’t you try getting stronger first?" Qin Muye thought that if he really let him go to that wealthy woman to solve the issue, he would lose the fun of watching what happens next.

"Besides, with your destiny of attracting calamities, it is uncertain whether you would make it to the Mu Family without accumulating a dozen or a hundred more burdens on your back. By then, who knows, maybe the Suffering Alliance will form to join forces and hunt you down. Do you think you can withstand that?"

Qin Muye had a quite deep understanding of the ’Yellow Hair Gift Package’.

Fan Hua’s face turned pale, not for any other reason but because what Qin Muye said made a lot of sense. He had already experienced such things too many times. It was fortunate that he had the Wisdom Sword to assist him, plus he could run fast, which is why he had only provoked the Mu Family. If he were to head there recklessly without sufficient strength, the journey would surely be fraught with danger.

One careless move and he would be trapped again. If the so-called Suffering Alliance was established, it would likely result in a vicious circle.

"Do you, Daoist, wish to assist me?" Fan Hua looked at Qin Muye with an expression of eager anticipation.

Qin Muye’s expression darkened: "Can’t we be a bit more sensible? Am I willing to help you? You dragged me into this; I have no choice but to help you."

These words immediately made Fan Hua feel awkward.

"That’s not right, Daoist. If you become stronger yourself, won’t that be enough? Why should I become stronger?" Fan Hua also realized the flaw in the logic.

"The Mu Family, a big clan, with a Daluo Golden Immortal to back them up, what gave you the courage to think that I could break through to become a Daluo Golden Immortal before being killed by the Mu Family?"

"The best solution is for you to get stronger, show enough potential, and then kill the person you’re involved with, join your wealthy woman and be joyous together. At that time, aggressions are turned into alliances, and everything is resolved."

Actually, Qin Muye’s idea was the best solution. After all, the grievances were just from the sufferers. Other people didn’t really matter that much since it was just a matter of becoming a son-in-law; anyone entering the Mu Family would definitely be a ’added son-in-law’, and they typically are not treated well.

"Can this... really work?" Fan Hua seemed a bit tempted, but then he appeared to remember something and became dejected: "But I’m not very capable."

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you. You have to become capable even if you aren’t now, since it involves both of our lives. If you want to be pursued by the Mu Family for a lifetime, I have no objection. But I don’t want that."

"So even if you don’t consider your own situation, you should consider mine – a poor soul who has been dragged down by you."

Qin Muye did not hesitate to lead the other person further into the pit.
