Chapter 561: Conscience

The murder case at the Yuezhou University academic exchange meeting had a very bad influence.

What was bad was not just the murder case itself, but also a series of subsequent problems.

The outer continent was not Puluo Continent. The use of dark abilities was not public in the outer continent. Ninety-nine percent of outer continent people didn't know the concept of dark abilities. Even some low-end dark ability enthusiast groups couldn't confirm whether dark abilities existed. For experts, professors, and students who believed in science, what they experienced in the academic report hall was equivalent to challenging the cognition of the entire outer continent.

Fortunately, the situation was effectively controlled. Yu Yu Yaoming only killed Yan Youjun. The process of killing was extremely fast, and most people didn't see it clearly, which gave the official side a chance to make a reasonable explanation.

In the end, Yan Youjun's cause of death was explained as an experimental accident. As for why an experiment was done at the exchange meeting and what the nature of the experiment was, there was plenty of time to round it up later.

Right now, the higher-ups decided to seize the time to investigate two people. One was Yu Yu Yaoming: what method did he use to master dark abilities, and what was the reason for killing Yan Youjun in public?

The other person was Li Qi. He arrested Yu Yu Yaoming in time, avoiding the further expansion of the situation. But what was the reason for his appearance at the academic report hall?

Could it be that he had long seen the signs of trouble, or were there more hidden feelings and conspiracies here?

Li Qi gave a very sincere answer to this: "I am a person who loves science. Holding the attitude of learning knowledge, I went to Yuezhou University to watch the academic discussion and happened to encounter this case."

Although this statement ignored some content, everything Li Qi said was the truth.

But he told the truth, and no one believed it. The higher-ups issued an emergency document, requiring an immediate investigation of the case, focusing on strengthening the investigation of Li Qi.

The document was approved to Director Wang. Director Wang took it to heart and made a work plan in one afternoon, going to report to Shen Shen Jingye.

"Director, our work plan is divided into three stages. In the first stage, we will directly use interrogation equipment, striving to make Li Qi tell the overall situation of the case tonight.

In the second stage, we will organize members of the special case team to carry out a special investigation on Li Qi, and combined with the interrogation results of the first stage, clarify the entire context of the case.

In the third stage, combined with the confessions of the suspect Yu Yu Yaoming and other witnesses, we will analyze and compare the details to prevent Li Qi from hiding anything.

According to the work progress, we can obtain preliminary investigation results within three days and form an investigation report."

Shen Shen Jingye looked at the plan, put it aside, and asked: "Have you obtained Yu Yu Yaoming's confession?"

"Obtained." Director Wang handed the transcript to Shen Shen Jingye.

Shen Shen Jingye flipped through it and nodded: "Just do it like this."

What did "just do it like this" mean?

Director Wang didn't understand Shen Shen Jingye's meaning. He thought Shen Shen Jingye should have approved his work plan: "I will go notify the staff in the interrogation room now and let them make relevant preparations."

Shen Shen Jingye looked at his watch: "It's already six-thirty."

Director Wang thought his movements were slow and hurriedly stood up: "I will go prepare now."

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head and said: "."

Director Wang was stunned on the spot: "Director Shen, the document has requirements, asking us to carry out the trial immediately—"

"Leave the plan with me. I will handle this matter. You go back."

Director Wang returned to his office with a confused face. Shen Shen Jingye told him to go home, but he didn't dare to leave, sitting by the phone, waiting for Shen Shen Jingye's next instructions.

Shen Shen Jingye picked up the phone, asked his secretary to order a few takeaways, and took the food to Li Qi's office.

Li Qi sat behind his desk and laughed: "Little Shen, here to interrogate me?"

"I haven't eaten yet," Shen Shen Jingye put the wine and food on the table. "Accompany me to eat a little?"

Li Li Banfeng had already eaten in the Personal Residence. Shen Shen Jingye invited him repeatedly, so Li Li Banfeng accompanied him for two drinks.

Kiln chicken, beef tripe, jellyfish salad, boiled fish in spicy soup—Shen Shen Jingye's dishes were quite solid.

Li Li Banfeng said: "I am now a key investigation object. Is this treatment too good for you to give me?"

"This is not treatment," Shen Shen Jingye shook his head. "They want to investigate you? By what right do they investigate you?

Do they have this qualification?"

Li Li Banfeng stared at Shen Shen Jingye and looked him up and down. He suspected that the Shen Shen Jingye in front of him was not real.

"Little Shen, were these words just now spoken by you?"

"They were spoken by me," Shen Shen Jingye gave Li Li Banfeng a chicken leg. "Do you think I am muddled and don't understand anything?"

Li Li Banfeng shook his head: "You understand everything; you just love to play dumb."

"Yes, I love to play dumb. There are some things you can't do without playing dumb," Shen Shen Jingye drank a can of beer. "But you can't be muddled about everything. This matter of Yu Yu Yaoming cannot be muddled.

Why did you go to Yuezhou University? Why did you participate in the academic exchange meeting? Is this matter important?

If you weren't at the scene today, it would be over. Yu Yu Yaoming didn't know how many people he would kill.

If Yu Yu Yaoming killed until blood flowed like a river and then turned and ran away, who could bear this consequence?

You not only saved the people at the scene but also saved that group of people above. Now they turn around and want to investigate you. How can their faces be so thick?"

Li Li Banfeng was even more surprised. He still suspected that the Shen Shen Jingye in front of him was impersonated by someone else, but he couldn't see any abnormality in him.

Shen Shen Jingye put down the beer can and said: "I only say these words from my heart to you alone. I have already greeted them before; the surveillance in this room has been stopped. Once you walk out of this door, the words I just said will not be acknowledged."

These words sounded like something Shen Shen Jingye would say.

Li Li Banfeng said: "Has Yu Yu Yaoming's side been investigated clearly? Where did his dark abilities come from, and why did he want to kill Yan Youjun?"

Shen Shen Jingye sighed: "I say it, you might not believe it. This is his confession; you look at it first."

Li Li Banfeng took the confession: "Can I look at this? Aren't you afraid I'll collude?"

"Not afraid!" Shen Shen Jingye shook his head. "It's a waste of effort for others to look at it, but it might be useful for you to look at it."

Li Li Banfeng flipped through it while Shen Shen Jingye introduced: "According to Yu Yu Yaoming's confession, he doesn't know the concept of dark abilities. He is not a cultivator, nor is he a dark ability enthusiast. His special abilities come from some experiments."

"What kind of experiment?" The confession was a bit scattered, and Li Li Banfeng was not easy to find.

Shen Shen Jingye said: "He said it was an experiment simulating the environment around a wormhole. He put himself in a simulated extreme environment to observe his physical data, and found that his body had evolved and possessed special abilities.

Because his special abilities came from scientific research, he called this type of ability 'power of wisdom.' This point was also verified in the confessions of several of his students."

Li Li Banfeng thought of Fang Fang Yufei, who had always emphasized to Li Li Banfeng that her supervisor possessed wisdom and power beyond cognition.

"Are his students all okay?"

"One female student is not mentally normal. The hospital said it was because of excessive fright. The other students are in okay condition."

Li Li Banfeng continued to flip through the transcript: "Which Dao gate does his ability belong to? Or which profession?"

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head: "It's not any profession. He is quite agile, but he doesn't possess the speed ability of a walker. He understands many fighting techniques, but he doesn't possess the ability of a fighter to control weapons."

Li Li Banfeng said: "He can kill with a fountain pen. Does this not count as the ability to control weapons?"

"The origin of that fountain pen is not easy to explain. I suspect it is a dark energy carrier. Through testing, it didn't reflect the characteristics of a dark energy carrier.

But if that was truly an ordinary fountain pen, in Yu Yu Yaoming's hands, it would be absolutely impossible to easily pierce through a person's skull. He didn't have that ability."

Is this fountain pen so special?

It seems I have to find a chance to communicate with that fountain pen.

"What is Yu Yu Yaoming's motive for killing Yan Youjun?"

Shen Shen Jingye sighed: "If I hadn't seen the confession with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either. Yu Yu Yaoming's motive for killing Yan Youjun was out of anger."

"Just out of anger?"

"Yes. During the interrogation process, there were judges present, which is what Puluo Continent calls Joy Cultivators. With Yu Yu Yaoming's ability, it is impossible to resist this Joy Cultivator, so what he said should be true.

Yu Yu Yaoming had been suppressed by Yan Youjun for a long time. In the academic world, many people knew about this. Before participating in the exchange meeting, Yu Yu Yaoming had revealed to his students that he wanted to severely punish Yan Youjun at the meeting, and might even deprive him of his life."

Li Li Banfeng put down the confession and said: "He wanted to murder Yan Youjun, told his students in advance, and then chose to commit the crime at the academic exchange meeting?"

Shen Shen Jingye nodded: "Do you think he is crazy?"

Judging from Fang Fang Yufei's reaction at the time, what Yu Yu Yaoming said should be the truth. Fang Fang Yufei didn't feel surprised by Yan Youjun's death.

As for whether Yu Yu Yaoming was crazy, it depends on the environment.

In Puluo Continent, killing someone after declaring war is not a fresh thing, but in the outer continent, this move is indeed a bit crazy.

Shen Shen Jingye continued: "We found professional personnel to conduct a comprehensive examination of Yu Yu Yaoming and also evaluated his mental state. Although no substantive lesions were found, his mental state is extremely paranoid.

He himself admitted that his mental state had changed. This change was also caused by the experiments he had done. His students are also very paranoid, which might be related to the experiments he had done.

If you hadn't caught this madman, the future behavior of this person would be unimaginable."

The two drank a few more cups. Shen Shen Jingye lit a cigarette and said: "My heart has been hanging for these two days. Now that such a mess has happened, my heart has been put down.

The higher-ups have been telling me about investigating the black market. I felt that this matter was unusual. How many years has the Cultural Palace black market existed? Why did the higher-ups suddenly attach importance to it?

Old Liao received some wind there. There is a person surnamed Hua who has a grudge against you. He seems to have contact with the outer continent. I don't know if this matter is related to him."

A person surnamed Hua?

Huahu Manchun?

Is the black market matter related to him?

Li Li Banfeng stared at Shen Shen Jingye for a moment.

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, Shen Shen Jingye would not easily reveal it. He had always been unwilling to participate in matters outside his scope of authority.

Why is he so abnormal today?

Shen Shen Jingye continued: "Now that such a big mess has happened, the black market matter can be shelved for the time being.

Take my advice: it's best to stay in the bureau for these two days. If you really can't get used to living there, living at home is also fine.

But you must not go to the black market. It's best not to investigate the Birch Hidden Cultivation Society and the Ferry Help during this period."

The result was the same as Li Li Banfeng's deduction. Teacher Song suddenly asked him to participate in the academic exchange meeting, and the purpose was to let Li Li Banfeng avoid this black market investigation operation.

This operation was likely a trap, a trap aimed at Li Li Banfeng.

But how much energy does Huahu Manchun have? Can he reach the outer continent, and even reach the upper levels of the Dark Star Bureau?

"Little Shen, why did you reveal so many things to me?" Li Li Banfeng brought the topic to the table directly. He wanted to see Shen Shen Jingye's reaction.

Shen Shen Jingye drank the beer in the can in one gulp and ate some jellyfish skin: "I do things with a clear conscience."

Li Li Banfeng took a sip of wine: "Have there been times when you didn't have a clear conscience?"

Shen Shen Jingye was silent for a moment, lit a cigarette, and opened another can of beer, taking a big gulp, and didn't speak for a long time.

He looked at Li Qi's office, wanting to find a chance to change the topic.

He saw a spring phonograph on the bookshelf and asked: "Is this an ornament?"

"Not an ornament," Li Li Banfeng shook his head. "This is a phonograph. I brought it from Puluo Continent. It can play music."

"Really or fake?" Shen Shen Jingye didn't quite believe it. "Play a song for me to listen to?"

Li Li Banfeng wound the phonograph and placed the stylus on the record.

Ci ci~

Shen Shen Jingye shook his head slightly: "This noise is a bit loud."

Li Li Banfeng said: "Black vinyl records, the noise is considered small."

After a short prelude, the mournful singing rang out.

"The butterfly flies away, the heart is not there either. In the desolate long night, who will come to wipe the tears from the cheeks? It is greed for a little reliance, greed for a little love. Old fate should be finished but is not finished, changing into full heart sorrow—"

Shen Shen Jingye listened very carefully. The cigarette in his hand burned more than half, but he didn't have time to smoke it.

"What is the name of this song?"

"Wild Grass and Idle Flowers Bloom in Spring."

"Who sang it?"

"The diva of Puluo Continent, Jiang Jiang Mengting."

Actually, this record wasn't recorded by Jiang Jiang Mengting; it was recorded by his wife, but Li Li Banfeng couldn't say his wife's name, so he could only push it onto Jiang Jiang Mengting.

"It sounds so good," Shen Shen Jingye carefully recalled the taste in the song and said to Li Li Banfeng: "Can you play it again?"

Li Li Banfeng nodded and placed the stylus back at the starting point.

When the singing rang out again, Shen Shen Jingye's hand shook.

The cigarette ash fell on his pants, and the cigarette in his hand burned out completely. He lit another one.

Borrowing the cover of the music, Shen Shen Jingye whispered: "If you want to say, say, things that are against my conscience, there are some. Seeing Datou's matter—I let him down."

Li Qi asked: "Is Seeing Datou the only one?"

"Also," Shen Shen Jingye took a deep puff of his cigarette. "Also Mijian'er, Chui Zi, Huajia—the previous director let them down, and I also let them down.

Maybe it's because it has always been like this. I didn't want it to be like this, but it became like this. But even if it has always been like this, I still let them down."

Shen Shen Jingye spoke intermittently, and the cigarette in his fingertips kept trembling.

"The forest flowers have withered, and the heart is buried too. When the spring swallows return another day, where will the body be?"

The music reached the end again. Shen Shen Jingye extinguished the cigarette, grabbed his jacket, and stood up: "I'm going home.

My wife, her heart is small. If I don't say hello and don't go home, she will be sad. I'm leaving."

Walking to the door, Shen Shen Jingye looked back: "This song, it sounds so good."

Li Li Banfeng nodded: "We'll listen to it a few more times another day."

Shen Shen Jingye was indeed abnormal today, but Li Li Banfeng was sure he wasn't impersonated by anyone.

This was the real Shen Shen Jingye. His abnormal mood should be related to Yu Yu Yaoming. When he was trying Yu Yu Yaoming,

he was at the scene.

Yu Yu Yaoming had the ability to infect other people's emotions. In the academic report hall, many people's emotions were infected by him, including his students, and also the organizer of the exchange meeting.

Shen Shen Jingye was infected and said some things to Li Li Banfeng that he couldn't say clearly under normal circumstances.

But his reason was still there. When encountering key topics, he would find ways to bypass them.

But after listening to his wife's song, his emotions were magnified again, to the point where his emotions were a bit out of control.

Little Shen, you person, how should I put it—

Li Li Banfeng touched the projector, and the projector greeted the surveillance equipment in the room.

Shen Shen Jingye did give an order to turn off the surveillance equipment in Li Li Banfeng's office, but it was hard to say when these devices would be turned on again.

Even if they were turned on, they wouldn't let the monitors find any abnormalities. Li Li Banfeng left the projector in the office to stand guard, returned to the Personal Residence, and discussed Yu Yu Yaoming's courseware with his wife.

Puluo Continent, Flower Immortal Manor.

Manor Master Huahu Manchun was listening to Yuan Yuan Chunping convey the news from the outer continent: "The situation has changed. Li Qi is still alive for the time being,

but he cannot leave the outer continent in the short term."

Huahu Manchun nodded: "Binding him is enough."

He looked at another woman and asked: "Is there any news about He He Jiaqing?"

This woman was named Hong Lian Cui and was a person of Flower Immortal Manor. In front of Huahu Manchun, she was naturally much more respectful than Yuan Yuan Chunping: "Master, we haven't found his whereabouts yet."

"Haven't found him yet?" Huahu Manchun asked seemingly casually, scaring Hong Lian Cui so much that she couldn't stand steadily.

"This slave will immediately send more people to search—"

"Send all your people," Huahu Manchun pinched Hong Lian Cui's face. "I will wait for you until tomorrow. At this time tomorrow, I must hear news of He He Jiaqing."

Hong Lian Cui's luck was truly not bad. By dusk the next day, she really found He He Jiaqing's whereabouts: "Master,

He He Jiaqing just arrived at Chu Yaoqian's territory."

"Good!" Huahu Manchun was in a great mood and said to Yuan Yuan Chunping: "Trouble you to notify the friends in Puzi. Tonight is the day for Hua to take revenge. If you remember Hua's contribution to Puzi, and also remember Hua's friendship with everyone,

please add some support for Hua."

Yuan Yuan Chunping said: "Manor Master, rest assured. Two seniors from Puzi are nearby."

Huahu Manchun turned back and said to Hong Lian Cui: "You lead people to guard the manor. If there is any mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hong Lian Cui nodded repeatedly. Just as she walked out of the hall, a spider web hit her face.

Spider silk in Master's main hall?

No wonder the group of maids before were killed; they couldn't even clean up a spider. They did things too improperly.

Hong Lian Cui rubbed a few times and hurriedly gathered people to strengthen the defense in the manor.

Dabo Dabo Ensi sensed the vibration of the spider silk and said to Feng Daiku: "Ms. Feng, Huahu Manchun took people to Chu Yaoqian's territory, and there is a fierce battle between him and He He Jiaqing. The news is very reliable."

Feng Daiku nodded and handed a pearl flower to Dabo Dabo Ensi. This was a spiritual object and also the reward agreed upon by both parties in advance.

Dabo Dabo Ensi accepted the pearl flower: "Ms. Feng, I have had grudges with Li Qi and Ma Wu. Please keep your promise and don't reveal my whereabouts to them."

Feng Daiku said: "Within one day, I will not reveal your whereabouts to anyone. After today, we are strangers.

If your news is false, I will not let you go. Even if the news is true, I have given you the reward, and we are even.

If Young Master Li and Old Five want to kill you in the future, I will never show mercy to you."

Dabo Dabo Ensi nodded and disappeared quickly into the depths of the jungle.

Feng Daiku passed the news to Ma Wu. Ma Wu took out a simple phone and called Li Li Banfeng with Luo Zhengnan as the hub.

"Old Seven, Huahu Manchun went to Chu Yaoqian's territory. They are going to start a war."

The projector and a group of cameras greeted each other. Li Li Banfeng walked out of the Dark Star Bureau and went to Flower Lake Park.

Inside a mansion in the new land, Chu Yaoqian was making tea for He He Jiaqing: "Big Brother He, you came to see this little sister today. I don't know what instructions you have."

He He Jiaqing laughed: "Sister, what are you saying? I came to see you specially today, and by the way, there is a matter I want to discuss with you."

"Don't talk about discussing. If Big Brother has anything, just give instructions. This little sister is listening."

He He Jiaqing sighed: "Sister, if you are so polite, I won't be able to speak. I have taken a fancy to a piece of land these days. That piece of land is on Lu Lu Huowang's territory. If you are familiar with Lu Lu Huowang, can you pull a line for me so I can talk to him face to face?"

"Big Brother found the right person," Chu Yaoqian laughed. "Lu Lu Huowang and I are indeed familiar. When he had some conflict with Tao You Xuetao, I mediated it and let Tao You Xuetao spare him once. Speaking of this matter, he still owes me no small favor.

Big Brother He, if you want to reclaim land on his territory, just take action. If he dares to make trouble for you,

I will slap him in the face in person.

If you want to take a piece of land directly from his hands, I will find him with Big Brother. As long as the land is not too big, Lu Lu Huowang will definitely agree."

He He Jiaqing shook his head: "I definitely won't take his territory for nothing. The capital that should be given, not a single cent will be less."

Chu Yaoqian lowered her head and said: "Big Brother can do whatever he wants; this little sister will listen to you."

While speaking, Chu Yaoqian sat closer.

He He Jiaqing was startled and retreated a small step.

Chu Yaoqian blushed and grabbed He He Jiaqing's hand: "Big Brother, was this little sister too abrupt?"

He He Jiaqing pulled his hand back: "Thank you, Sister, for your thick kindness. Let's settle the previous matter first." "Okay, let's settle it." Chu Yaoqian hugged He He Jiaqing directly.

To tell the truth, she felt she was a bit out of character.

He He Jiaqing was young and promising, and Chu Yaoqian's admiration for him was indeed reasonable.

But when doing things, one must distinguish identity. Chu Yaoqian was a local god and had quite a reputation among local gods.

Even if she had thoughts in her heart, she shouldn't disregard etiquette and do it so directly.

He He Jiaqing realized the situation was wrong and hurriedly left the mansion. Looking into the courtyard, Huahu Manchun was shaking his feather fan and admiring flowers in the courtyard.

Chu Yaoqian followed out. The reason she was out of character just now was because she had been hit by Huahu Manchun's technique and had developed spring feelings for He He Jiaqing.

Now seeing Huahu Manchun, Chu Yaoqian felt panicked in her heart, but with He He Jiaqing present, she still gritted her teeth and asked: "Manor Master Hua, what are you doing in my house?"

Huahu Manchun laughed: "Can't I come to your house?"

Chu Yaoqian said: "Coming uninvited and using techniques on me, this doesn't seem to fit etiquette."

Huahu Manchun said: "Ask this Big Brother He of yours. When he came to my manor, did I invite him?"

He He Jiaqing looked at Huahu Manchun with a gloomy face: "Senior, I have already explained the matter back then."

"Explained it, and the matter is over?" Huahu Manchun shook his head. "Young Master He, you overestimate Hua's capacity. Do you think I can really swallow this breath?"

"Then according to Manor Master Hua's meaning, how should this grudge be resolved?" He He Jiaqing's expression was calm, his gaze shifting, looking for an opportunity to strike at Huahu Manchun.

Huahu Manchun tidied up the feather fan in his hand: "Seeing that you are still young, I really can't haggle too deeply with you. Kneel down and kowtow three times to me, roll out of this territory, and never come back. This matter will be considered over."

He He Jiaqing said: "My matter is over, what about Miss Chu?"

Huahu Manchun looked at Chu Yaoqian and shook his head: "She won't be so cheap. I want to take her into the manor and discipline her for a few years."

Chu Yaoqian was about to fight Huahu Manchun to the death, but didn't expect He He Jiaqing to lift the hem of his clothes.

Huahu Manchun was shocked. What was this for? Was He He Jiaqing really going to kneel?

"Senior, I will apologize to you first!" He He Jiaqing truly made a posture of wanting to kneel.

Huahu Manchun remained calm, just watching He He Jiaqing quietly.

He He Jiaqing didn't intend to kneel for real. He had hidden two magic treasures under the hem of his clothes. As long as Huahu Manchun was slightly distracted, He He Jiaqing could seize the initiative and kill him with one blow.

But these two magic treasures didn't move, because He He Jiaqing didn't give the order to strike.

At this moment, He He Jiaqing suddenly had another thought.

Huahu Manchun's guard was too heavy. Striking directly didn't seem very stable.

Chu Yaoqian was hit by the technique; whether she could help was one thing, and she might even drag him down.

Kneel first, talk after kneeling. After kneeling, Huahu Manchun's suspicion would naturally be eliminated, and then a sneak attack would be much more likely to succeed.

The winning percentage would be much greater.

He He Jiaqing's knees slowly descended until they touched the ground. He He Jiaqing truly knelt to Huahu Manchun.

Huahu Manchun nodded and laughed: "A child can be taught. The kneeling is quite upright. Let me hear the sound of you kowtowing again. The louder the sound, the more sincere you are."

Kowtowing was unnecessary. He He Jiaqing had already prepared for a sneak attack. He touched the magic treasure and gave the order to strike, but the magic treasure didn't move.

He looked down and saw the two magic treasures sticking to the ground along with the hem of his clothes.

He wanted to stand up, but found he couldn't.

Huahu Manchun sighed: "Don't say you are a thief; your strike isn't clean. Wanting to play dirty in front of me? But you didn't see if your teeth were fully grown?"

An old man leaning on a cane walked into the courtyard.

"Thought cultivator Ren Ren Antian." He He Jiaqing recognized this person, the local god of Yinian Commandery.

An old woman followed behind the old man and also walked out.

"Glue cultivator Sun Sun Peiying." This person, He He Jiaqing also recognized, the local god of Niantuan Gouzi.

Just now, He He Jiaqing had delayed the plan to launch a surprise attack because he had been hit by thought cultivator Ren Ren Antian's technique.

After kneeling, it was too late to launch a surprise attack, and he had been hit by glue cultivator Sun Sun Peiying's technique.

Huahu Manchun waved his folding fan, and an evil fire surged from He He Jiaqing's heart, burning toward his internal organs.

"Young Master He, do you think kneeling is enough?" Huahu Manchun sneered. "From the day you entered Flower Immortal Manor, this life of yours is considered gone."

PS: When using the foolish cultivator's technique, you don't necessarily have to speak.
