Chapter 137: So... He's Dead?

So... he just died?

Seeing Hearing Hearing Li Ang "stare" the Golden Scale Sect deacon to death with just a single glance, and then turn his gaze toward them with a murderous glint, the remaining people in the room couldn't help but shudder in unison.

The old man from the Ma Sai Ni family was the first to react, dropping to his knees with a thud, coincidentally dodging the invisible hand that had been reaching for his head.

"Spare my life! I'm not close to her!"

With his excellent example set, the three from the Bobby Laien family immediately followed suit, dropping to their knees one after another with thuds, their pleas for mercy ringing out one after another.

"I don't know her either!"

"We really don't know what she did!"

"Lord Duke! I am a man by the old Duke's side!"

It must be said that those who can climb to high positions in a large family are rarely slow to react; the three old men of the Bobby Laien family knelt faster than one another, and after they took the initiative to lower their height, that iconic little golden hair finally squeezed into Hearing Hearing Li Ang's view.

Calling me Lord Duke, and with golden hair...

Looking at the three rather sparse crowns of heads in front of him, and recognizing that one of them was the butler by the old Duke's side, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then subconsciously frowned tightly.

"You are actually from the Golden Scale Sect?"

"No, no!"

Terrified that the three from the Bobby Laien family would sell him out, the old man from the Rose family hurriedly spoke first:

"We are not from the Golden Scale Sect! We just asked her to help find someone, that's all. I am a Count of the Rose family! Lord Duke! I have marriage ties with your family!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we have nothing to do with the Golden Scale Sect."

"That's right, that's right, we are all from the Bobby Laien family."

"I am the newly elected head of the Bobby Laien family, and he is the last remaining clan elder. We are all your people!"

"..."

Damn it, I shouldn't have asked.

Looking at the three little... old golden-haired men in front of him, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue in slight annoyance.

Since these three golden-haired men of the Bobby Laien family could escape the Bobby Laien Blood Night and were not directly killed by him with the help of the 【Heart of Ambition】, they were naturally not the type who were guilty of heinous crimes.

It's just that, according to the Bobby Laien family's excellent average moral standard, although these three weren't rotten to the core, they weren't good people either; at most, they could be considered bastards who still faintly showed a bit of humanity.

Although he really wanted to pretend he hadn't asked and just send them off along the way, considering that he was still under suspicion of creating the Bobby Laien Blood Night, plus the repeated demands of the Director before he set off, Hearing Hearing Li Ang finally gave up this rather tempting plan and asked with an unkind expression:

"So... is this still the Rose Manor? Was it that Golden Scale Sect deacon who brought me back?"

"Yes, yes, yes, she did it all!"

Seeing that Hearing Hearing Li Ang seemed to have given up on the idea of taking action, the few old men present couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, then desperately threw the blame onto the headless corpse on the ground.

"You left a note and left, we just wanted to find you back, she was the one who insisted on doing this!"

"Yes, yes, she wanted to trick you into the Golden Scale Sect, and then find that cat spirit thing to bring you over!"

"She must have coveted our... coveted the Bobby Laien family property under your name!"

"..."

After understanding the general process from the slightly chaotic descriptions of the few old men, Hearing Hearing Li Ang said with some astonishment:

"So, after being forcibly moved here by her, I have the mark of the Golden Scale Sect on me, and I count as a member of the Golden Scale Sect?"

"This... we don't know either, but she did say so..."

"..."

Absurd... Although I killed the Holy Spirit of the Golden Scale Sect and just finished off a high-level deacon, I have now directly obtained the status of a Golden Scale Sect member...

After shaking his head speechlessly, Hearing Hearing Li Ang opened the badge panel and looked at the constantly flickering Holy Spirit badge.

【Practitioner (Silver): Personally killed a large number of evil

heretics, and after spreading the prestige of the Golden Scale Sect in the world, your practical efforts have been deeply recognized by the Golden Scale Sect members and the Holy Spirits.】

【Wearing Effect: Significantly increases affinity with anomalous objects marked "Holy", and while reducing the cost of use, significantly strengthens the effect of use.】

【Advancement Route: Become a deacon of a certain lineage of the Golden Scale Sect, or after preaching your understanding of the doctrine to three thousand Golden Scale Sect members and obtaining their recognition, this badge will automatically advance to the Gold badge "Agent", progress of preaching the doctrine to members 0/3000.】

【Hidden Trait (No need to wear): Because you have practically practiced the doctrine of the Golden Scale Sect, your soul has become more firm and pure, and it will be easier to obtain the favor of certain orderly existences.】

"..."

Fine, this wave can be considered a blessing in disguise, saving him a lot of trouble.

After looking at the advancement route of the 【Practitioner】 badge, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but frown again, then squinted his eyes at the old man with a rose embroidered on his chest, and said with a determined face:

"You lied just now, didn't you?"

"I... I didn't..."

"You'd better not rush to deny it."

After looking at the rose emblem on the old man's chest, Hearing Hearing Li Ang said:

"It's no longer a secret that your Ma Sai Ni family and the Golden Scale Sect are in collusion, so after I left without saying goodbye, the three of them came to you for help, am I right?"

"Actually, it wasn't help..."

Just at this moment, the old butler on the side reminded him cautiously:

"Lord Duke, in the matter of finding your whereabouts, Lord Sam asked for a high price, and also said it wasn't that he wanted it, but that he was helping that deacon..."

"It hasn't been paid yet! That money hasn't been paid yet, I don't want anything now! And not only this time, the money invested in the Rose Department Store can also be returned to you!"

Having seen that Hearing Hearing Li Ang was mostly at odds with the Golden Scale Sect, after promising to return all the money, the old man from the Rose family said with a mournful face:

"Lord Duke! Our family really didn't collude with the Golden Scale Sect, we just had some small cooperation usually, please don't..."

"I want to be a deacon of the Golden Scale Sect."

"Ah?"

Looking at the old man in front of him who had his mouth wide open and his eyes full of confusion, Hearing Hearing Li Ang repeated patiently.

"Tell me, what do I need to do to become a deacon of the Golden Scale Sect?"???

No... you killed their deacon two minutes ago, and as soon as you heard that you were also a member of the Golden Scale Sect, you changed camps without saying a word, not only accepted your new identity, but also aspired to be a deacon of the Golden Scale Sect?

Is your adaptability too strong?

Looking at Hearing Hearing Li Ang, who was serious in front of him, and confirming that this new Lionheart Duke was not joking, but really intended to do so, the old man's slightly dry lips moved twice, and then he said at a loss:

"This... the Golden Scale Sect has three lineages in total, and each lineage has at most three deacons at the same time. If you want to become a deacon, you must first get the joint recommendation of at least two deacons, and they must be from different lineages, and then participate in three ***, and get the recognition of the members..."

"Too much trouble, is there a faster one?"

"Uh... that is, designated by the True God himself, or recognized by one of the three... two Holy Spirits, and stained with their aura, you can also directly get the recognition of those people in the Golden Scale Sect."

I see...

After listening to the words of the old man from the Rose family, Hearing Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but frown slightly.

It is impossible to be designated by the True God himself; he killed his Holy Spirit, and the probability of that True God of the Golden Scale Sect biting him to death is greater than the probability of designating him as a deacon. As for the recognition of the Holy Spirit...

"Then like this, I ask you."

After touching the Holy Spirit pendant on his chest, Hearing Hearing Li Ang asked seriously:

"If I kill a Holy Spirit, but make it into a... um... ornament, and wear it with me all the time, can it count as being stained with its aura? Can I get recognition?"
