CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: THE DIVINE CANNOT CONCEAL YOUR HEART, THE LAW CANNOT DISTORT YOUR EYES

Li Hu and Su Tu stood in the hospital corridor.

Uncle Gong’s condition was not serious. He originally planned to leave today, but after Su Tu’s repeated insistence, he agreed to stay hospitalized for one night for observation.

During this time, Li Hu also explained to Su Tu the way Martial Arts Dao’s fortune was supposed to rise.

Only then did Su Tu understand why that martial artist acted so arrogantly.

"In any case, don’t overthink it. What you did was right. For martial artists, there should be no future troubles. If you let him be taken back, the Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall has ways to heal his injuries, and you’ll be the one in trouble later."

"Thank you today, Tiger Bro." Su Tu said seriously.

If it weren’t for Tiger Bro today, there was no way he would have been able to leave the Martial Arts Department so easily.

"Hey, I’ve already said we’re brothers, brothers for life." Li Hu waved his hand dismissively.

"Today I was impulsive, causing trouble for the teacher and the Martial Arts Hall."

Su Tu said sincerely.

The opponent was also someone who protected the Martial Arts Hall, and his actions would undoubtedly bring many future troubles.

Hearing Su Tu say this, Li Hu seriously looked at him.

"Xiao Tu, in the future, don’t say such distant words. You’ve joined the Martial Arts Hall, I regard you as a brother. Although the teacher, for some reasons, can’t take you as a direct disciple, he considers you very important in his heart."

"You weren’t wrong in today’s matter. A martial artist should stand up when unfair. If you don’t release your fist, it might not only affect your heart and spirit in the future but also your development of Bone Appearance and condensing Martial Intent."

"In this matter, you weren’t wrong, and I also can’t stand the way the Martial Arts Department is elevating their fortune. You did the right thing!"

Li Hu’s words were full of acknowledgment, without a trace of blame. This made Su Tu deeply moved — how lucky to have such a sect.

"Senior Brother, can Chen Yuan be killed?" he asked in a low voice. Even though he was just a Peeping Branch Realm martial artist, he spoke as if Chen Yuan could be killed at any moment.

"He can be killed. If your heart isn’t at peace, I can assist you in killing him now, Xiao Tu."

"No, Tiger Bro, I want to know what his reaction will be when someone he calls a ’barbarian’ steps on him."

Su Tu said earnestly. He wasn’t a gentleman, nor a good person, so he didn’t feel like he was standing up for the people of Ancestor Star.

He just wanted to step on those so-called ’adults’ who sit high above.

To see who was truly mired in the dirt!

"Good. With your talent, it won’t take long for you to achieve your wish," Li Hu said. He was well aware of his junior brother’s strength.

In fact, he had thought of killing Chen Yuan on behalf of his junior brother just now, but his identity didn’t allow him to act recklessly.

"But wouldn’t this cause trouble for the teacher?"

Su Tu thought, the opponent’s teacher, like Zhou Wuliang, was also a protector. If there were any future actions, would it affect the teacher?

Hearing this, Li Hu’s expression froze.

"Xiao Tu, you might be misunderstanding something. Do you think the teacher doesn’t care about anything but ’seven’?"

"Isn’t it?" Su Tu replied.

Zhou Wuliang indeed gave Su Tu this feeling. Besides doing various things to make up numbers every day, he never seemed to care about anything.

"Do you think Tiger Bro is protective?" Li Hu pointed to himself and asked.

Su Tu thought back to when Tiger Bro took action on his behalf at the Martial Arts Department without understanding the situation and gave a thumbs-up.

"Completely..."

"Heh, my level of protectiveness is nothing compared to the teacher’s..."

"Huh?"

....

Inside the Tingfeng Martial Arts Hall.

Chen Yuan wanted to see his teacher to explain everything clearly.

This matter absolutely couldn’t be just let go. Even if Zhou Wuliang had a great background, his teacher, Chang Xiao Zhenren, was on the same level as him.

Losing a student was no small matter; it could even affect future fortune entangling.

But his initial anger was met with a closed door. Chang Xiao Zhenren was in retreat in his private chamber and refused to see anyone.

This left Chen Yuan with no outlet for his anger.

"Su Tu! Su Tu!" He muttered the name viciously.

Suddenly, he remembered seeing this name in some files at the Public Security Bureau, seemingly related to a certain mission.

He hurriedly got up and headed to the Public Security Bureau.

And at this moment, just in the chamber separated by a door.

Chang Xiao Zhenren was in a disheveled half-kneeling position. His originally tidy Daoist robe was full of gaps, and his long eyebrows were uneven.

The aura around him was also very unstable.

"Zhou Wuliang, don’t bully people too much!" Chang Xiao Zhenren squeezed out the words between his teeth.

Opposite him, Zhou Wuliang was playing with his horsetail whisk.

"Bully people? Did I bully anyone?"

"Wasn’t it your disciple pressuring my student with Martial Intent?"

Zhou Wuliang spoke.

"But he killed one of my students!"

"That was because he deserved it! Chang Xiao, do you remember what I told you when you were young?

You’re alive because I respect your sister. If you provoke me again, I’ll disable you!"

"This still holds true today. Remember, I don’t care about same-generation fights among my students, but if anyone wants to harbor other thoughts without regard for face..."

Zhou Wuliang sneered, applied slight pressure with his two fingers, and with a ’crack,’ broke the horsetail whisk, which glowed with a precious light.

"Just like this!"

He said, then felt unhappy with the broken whisk, so he broke it a few more times into a number that satisfied him before stopping.

Then, without even looking at Chang Xiao Zhenren, he disappeared from the chamber.

Leaving the old Daoist with a grimace, he wanted to curse but recalled Zhou Wuliang’s actions when younger, opened and closed his mouth, yet dared not curse.

Finally, he only squeezed out a sentence.

"Poor Dao... Poor Dao... Damn it, when did I have the chance to harbor other thoughts!"

....

Su Tu returned home. There weren’t enough beds in the hospital for companions. He initially planned to sleep on a chair to accompany Uncle Gong, but Uncle Gong refused emphatically, insisting Su Tu go home to rest or he wouldn’t stay in the hospital.

Unable to resist the old man, Su Tu returned home.

Opening the door, the house felt cold and empty. Zhang Meng had moved out a week ago, to be precise, she had moved out of this community. What happened in that house left a significant shadow on her.

Su Tu helped on the moving day, and afterward, Zhang Meng gradually withdrew from Su Tu’s life.

However, Su Tu didn’t mind. Life is a constant series of farewells.

Too many things happened today.

His thoughts were in disarray. Sitting on the sofa, he formed the Heaven-Flipping Seal, which gradually calmed his mind.

"Did I just use the Heaven-Flipping Seal?"

Su Tu recalled the means he used in his rage, seemingly the Heaven-Flipping Seal he had always used as a calming technique.

"Ancient Skill can be cultivated!"

Su Tu felt invigorated. He knew the feeling from yesterday was definitely him using the Heaven-Flipping Seal, and its killing power was several times that of the Prajna Seven Kills.

But now, the hand seal returned to its usual state.

"I must not have found the correct way yet."

Su Tu was not discouraged. He was certain that the ancient skill could be displayed, next was to find the correct way, so he could bring this ancient Immortals’ method back to the world.

He focused his gaze on the small buff in the system bar, and with a thought, the buff’s effect revealed itself.

[Unrestrained: For a period, you will be blessed by the Martial Arts Dao’s fortune, the spirit cannot obscure your heart, law cannot distort your eyes.]

As the buff was touched by Su Tu’s heart thought, an indescribably mysterious aura enveloped him.

And the next moment, Su Tu seemed to feel something, turning his head to look outside the window.

His eyes trembled slightly, his thoughts were spinning.

"This is the Federation’s so-called protection for Ancestor Star, what a great protection, what a great protection."

"So, you call sealing, fettering, and imprisoning... protection."

In Su Tu’s eyes, the world outside the window reflected various indescribable ’taboos’.
