Chapter 36: Good for You, Old Man Li

The words were resonant.

A brief silence fell before the Heavenly One Hall.

The disciples watching the fun became even more excited; they hadn't expected the Hall Master of the Heavenly One Hall, who had always had no reputation, to be so tough.

Ying Liu's eyelids twitched.

He hadn't expected Li Rui to use the Heaven and Earth Alliance rules to suppress him.

He was immediately angered into laughter.

When he was at the venues, he was the only one who used the rules to undermine others, but after coming to the branch, he was counter-attacked by Li Rui.

Li Rui smiled faintly: "That's right, Deputy Hall Master Ying has been guarding the venues outside for years, so he doesn't understand some rules, and his subordinates are also not presentable; today, this old man will teach you the rules."

Ying Liu found the words "guarding the venues" grating.

How could he not hear that Li Rui was mocking him for being rustic.

But Li Rui had done today's matter too beautifully; rules were just waste paper on ordinary days, and no one cared, but if it really went to the Helmsman, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

It would also leave an impression of incompetence in Deputy Helmsman Zhao's mind.

Ying Liu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart: "Li Tangzhu, this is a Bone-Cultivating Pill; consider it medical expenses for Liang He, and let's call it quits, how about that?"

The onlookers saw that Ying Liu was actually willing to take out a Bone-Cultivating Pill worth 150 taels to settle the matter.

All showed envious eyes.

Although the Bone-Cultivating Pill was not a spiritual elixir, it contained some spiritual herbs, and its medicinal effect far exceeded ordinary Ninth-Rank pills.

This sincerity could not be said to be insufficient.

Li Rui still shook his head: "Young people outside are indeed lawless; the world is going downhill."

He decisively activated his skill—relying on his age to sell his age.

He certainly wasn't prepared to let today's matter end easily; some things, either don't do them, or if you do, you must do them thoroughly.

"Take him away, send him to the Discipline Hall."

He waved at Liang He and Zhou Shulin, intending to have Yang San taken to the Discipline Hall.

The veins on Ying Liu's forehead bulged.

It could be seen that he had endured Li Rui for a long time; his eyes became ruthless; for so many years, no one had dared to use seniority and rules to suppress him.

"Old Man Li, do you really want to kill them all?"

Li Rui was surprised: "What does Deputy Hall Master Ying mean? Could it be that Yang San was acting under your instructions?"

"You..."

Ying Liu was choked with anger, but he quickly calmed down.

If Li Rui really used Yang San to make things difficult for him, he would certainly suffer no less; even if Deputy Hall Master Zhao was willing to protect him, his impression in Deputy Hall Master Zhao's heart would definitely fall to the bottom.

"Hall Master Ying, Hall Master Ying."

Yang San saw that Ying Liu intended to abandon him and couldn't sit still.

He had ended up in this state because he was trying to complete the task Ying Liu gave him; if even Ying Liu wouldn't help him, then he would really only have two choices: either break an arm and a leg and leave the Heaven and Earth Alliance, or receive three blades and six holes.

"Hall Master Ying, I am..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ying Liu.

Yang San's face turned ashen.

Ying Liu's words seemed like comfort, but in reality, they were a threat.

He had done this kind of thing too many times.

If he wasn't willing to be convicted, or if he exposed Ying Liu, his old mother would definitely be in trouble.

Yang San smiled miserably.

It was truly retribution.

He had used this method to deal with others when he was guarding the brothel, and now it had actually fallen on his own head.

Yang San's body went limp, and he was carried away by Liang He and Zhou Shulin like a pile of rotten mud.

Zhao Wei did not come forward to save Yang San.

An ordinary disciple wasn't worth him buying a favor.

He was the Deputy Helmsman in charge of the Discipline Hall, but he didn't own the Discipline Hall; in the end, the Seven Halls belonged to the Helmsman, and he was just a worker, so naturally, he couldn't go too far.

Otherwise, his position as Deputy Helmsman wouldn't last long.

Yang San was taken to the Discipline Hall.

In addition to the crime of committing violence against a fellow disciple, there were also crimes such as desecrating the duty and never checking in, and finally, multiple crimes were punished together; but what was unexpected was that Yang San actually chose the three blades and six holes with toughness.

In the end, he naturally died of wound infection.

There were no miracles.

And not everyone was Li Rui; did he really think he was the Son of the Plane?

Three blades and six holes required stabbing one blade each in the thigh, waist, and chest, and it had to be pierced through; the plot of suffering a serious injury and then gaining an encounter to take revenge almost never happened in reality; even the Son of the Plane would die if stabbed with three blades.

The storm subsided.

Inside the Heavenly One Hall.

Zhou Shulin and Liang He chatted aimlessly; ever since they shared adversity last time, the relationship between the two had become closer.

"Ah He, Li Tangzhu is truly amazing; he handled Yang San without spending a single hand or foot."

"Let's see how Ying Liu will be arrogant in the future."

Liang He looked at the carefree Zhou Shulin and was speechless.

Li Tangzhu didn't spend any effort, but the ones who risked their lives were the two of them.

After reviewing.

He could almost be certain that all of this was definitely Li Rui pushing the waves in the dark, but he couldn't find evidence either.

Of course, he didn't actually feel disgusted in his heart.

On the contrary, it was as if he had opened a new door.

"Cough, cough, am I a bit dark-bellied?"

"Forget it, everyone will eventually become the person they hate."

"No, this sentence seems to have been said by the Hall Master too, forget it..."

Brother Liang shook his head.

Something's wrong!

He had completely turned into Li Tangzhu's shape.

After the last incident, Ying Liu had restrained himself a lot.

Especially Han Peng, who participated in the duty of the Heavenly One Hall for the first time in history.

After all, one of Yang San's ten major crimes before was dereliction of duty.

This was naturally fine when no one was being serious.

After all, he was working for Deputy Hall Master Ying.

But if he were really convicted based on this and reported to the Helmsman, he would be unreasonable; Han Peng didn't want to end up in the miserable situation of being expelled from the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Li Rui was still flipping through Daoist scriptures in his room as if nothing had happened.

He was really busy.

Although he had Martial Bones, he still had to practice; not practicing was equivalent to being completely wasted, so he spent almost all his time practicing.

Even more diligent than those high school seniors in his previous life.

Ying Liu certainly wouldn't give up just like that, it was just that he discovered his previous disgusting methods didn't work on Li Rui and was just brewing something bad.

Li Rui had long been familiar with handling these matters.

Who hadn't mixed their way up from the bottom?

The experience in the Zhu family was equally applicable in the Heaven and Earth Alliance.

Just as he flipped to a page of the Daoist scriptures, lines of small characters appeared.
