Chapter 205: Killing Rong Gong

The Yu'er sisters never thought about the possibility of Tian Lin seeking revenge on Elder Qiu.

What they were more concerned about was Tian Lin's next plans.

Tian Lin had a lot of soul-gathering beads in his hands, which were completely sufficient according to the standards of Shuiyun Sect for recruiting menial disciples.

Even if Tian Lincoln distributed the Soul Gathering Pearl to them, it would be enough for the two of them to become menial disciples of the Shuiyun Sect.

Being a menial disciple of Shuiyun Sect is far more cost-effective than exchanging the soul-gathering beads for spirit stones and a book of magical powers.

Because he became a menial disciple of Shuiyun Sect, not only did his status change, but he could also rely on completing tasks in Shuiyun Sect and spending spirit stones to purchase Shuiyun Sect's magical powers, Taoism, and elixirs.

However, these magical skills are impossible to be sold on the market.

Until nightfall, Tian Lin had not told her and her sisters about his future plans.

Yu'er was awakened from her dream by the sound of angry curses coming from next door.

When she got out of bed to look for Tian Lin, she didn't see Tian Lin in the room, but heard Tian Lin's voice in Gao He's house.

When she brought Cui'er to Gao He's house, she saw Cai Shu standing at the door in dishevel, and the fat Rong Gongfeng was lying on the stone steps at the door.

Xiang'er sat slumped on the ground, looking at Rong Gongfeng who was covered in blood, and kept muttering: "Murder, murder."

Yu'er tilted her head and looked at Tian Lin, who seemed very calm at this moment.

He wiped the blood off the sword with a handkerchief, and only after the nearby Tong family priests arrived at the scene did he calmly throw the blood-stained handkerchief to the ground:

"This fellow Rong Gongsheng dared to rape my sister-in-law while my sworn brother was away. It would have been fine if Tian didn't know about it, but now that I know about it, how can I tolerate him?"

If someone knew about the peace between Cai Shu and Rong Gongfeng, they might think that Rong Gongfeng's death was really unjust.

Gao He is willing to wear the green hat, why should you, his sworn brother, interfere?

But no one present knew that Gao He sold his wife. Was Gao He crazy to brag about this?

Cai Shu is also a person who cares about her reputation. She and Rong Gongfeng had just gone to bed together today, and Tian Lin scanned her with his spiritual sense for the first time, so Rong Gongfeng stopped in time.

After Rong Gongsheng went to Tian Lin to pay the money, Tian Lin rushed in before he could finish taking off his clothes for the second time.

"Fellow Daoist Tian did a good job. How can we stand by and watch Rong committing adultery?"

Someone stood up and expressed his attitude first.

After all, who would speak for a dead person?
Moreover, since Tian Lin was Gao He's sworn brother, it was normal for him to kill someone when he saw his sister-in-law being raped.

Someone praised Tian Lin: "There are not many people like Fellow Daoist Tian who are willing to draw their swords for their brothers. When the Tong family comes over later, we will all speak for Fellow Daoist Tian."

Soon, the Tong family's great elder rushed over.

He glanced at the corpse on the ground with a somewhat grim expression, and finally looked at Tian Lin.

He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, can you tell me what's going on?"

The Great Elder knew that Tian Lin and Tong Shisan were very good friends, and Tian Lin would most likely become a menial disciple of the Shuiyun Sect, so he did not want to make things difficult for Tian Lin.

But even if he wanted to let Tian Lin go, he couldn't give outsiders the impression that he was biased towards Tian Lin.

At this time, Tian Lin glanced at Rong Gongfeng's body, and then said slowly: "Let the elder know that I came home to see my brother this time. But my brother was not here, and I ran into this Rong, who actually plotted against my brother's wife--

If I don't kill him, how can I live up to the oath I made to Brother Gao to live and die together?"

The Great Elder nodded and said, "That makes sense. It looks like you killed the thief for your brother."

After that, he asked everyone present: "Has anyone seen Fellow Daoist Gao?"

Gao He stumbled into the yard at this moment. He reeked of alcohol and looked a little tipsy.

The fact that a foundation-building cultivator could appear so drunk clearly showed that the wine he drank was not ordinary wine.

Some people frowned, some couldn't help but gloat.

The Great Elder asked Gao He, "Fellow Daoist Gao, is it true that Rong Gongsheng entered your house and raped your wife?"

Gao He was stunned. How could he deny it?

If he said that he agreed, not only would he be ridiculed and spit on, how could Shuiyun Sect accept a green-haired turtle like him as a menial disciple?

His eyes were red, and he stepped forward and crushed Rong Gongsheng's knee, saying, "This thief, I treated him as a brother in vain. I didn't expect that he would take advantage of my unpreparedness and come to do such a wicked thing."

Cai Shu also cried at this time and said: "Fortunately, Tian Lang came, otherwise, my innocence would be lost."

Few people believed her because she was usually ambiguous with those potential and powerful foundation-building cultivators. In fact, everyone thought that Rong Gongsheng might have been caught by Tian Lin when he was making peace with Cai Shu.

But Tian Lin was too upright a gentleman, and he didn't know that Cai Shu was an immoral woman, so he thought Rong Gongfeng was raping Cai Shu.

But Rong Gongfeng was already dead, and the Great Elder never asked Cai Shu, the person involved, whether Rong Gongfeng's death was unjust or not. This shows that the Great Elder wanted to close the case hastily.

When Cai Shu started crying, it became irrefutable evidence that Rong Gongfeng had raped Cai Shu.

Seeing this, the Great Elder asked, "Where are Fellow Daoist Rong's sword and sword slave?"

The housekeeper who came with him said, "We have already sent people to Rong Gongsheng's courtyard, and they have probably detained him now."

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Kill them all with sticks. When Brother Rong is buried, send them to be buried with him. This will also complete the friendship between my Tong family and Brother Rong."

Everyone bowed and praised the Great Elder for his kindness.

The great elder nodded and continued, "Brother Rong is alone and has no children. Because his Soul Gathering Orbs cannot be sold privately, all of them will be confiscated. Apart from that, his inheritance will be left to Fairy Cai as an apology."

Everyone looked at Gao He and his wife with envy, and once again flattered the Great Elder: "Elder Tong is indeed fair in his dealings."

In this way, Tian Lin killed someone, Gao He and his wife also got Rong Gongfeng's inheritance, and the Great Elder gained fame and the Soul Gathering Pearl, and everyone had something to talk about after dinner.

It’s not that everyone is happy, but at least no one feels that they have suffered a loss.

The great elder chatted with everyone here for a few words, and then said a few words to Tian Lin, and then everyone dispersed.

Only Tian Lin, Gao He and his wife were left in the yard. Gao He was overjoyed at the moment. He held Tian Lin's hand enthusiastically and cried bitterly, "Second brother, it's not your fault this time, otherwise your sister-in-law would have suffered a great loss."

Thinking back to Gao He's previous acting skills, Tian Lin felt that his own acting skills still needed improvement.

However, when he saw Gao He crying bitterly, he just felt very disgusted.

Cai Shu also felt disgusted. She looked at Gao He coldly and said, "How could you be so happy to go out and have a good time at night?"

Gao He was furious and turned to accuse Cai Shu, "Xu you and - forget it, Brother Tian is here, I don't want to talk to you about this."

He thought Tian Lin didn't know about his selling his wife, so he shut up in time.

At this moment, he happily took out the storage bag that the Great Elder had just given him, took a look at it, and said with a somewhat grim expression:
"How come a master weapon refiner named Rong only has so many scattered spirit stones? Could it be that when the Great Elder took the Soul Gathering Pearl, he took away all the good stuff?"

Tian Lin said indifferently: "Perhaps Rong used all his spirit stones to buy the Soul Gathering Orbs, so there are no treasures left."

Gao He reluctantly handed the storage bag and the twenty mid-grade spirit stones inside, as well as some elixirs and cultivation techniques, to Tian Lin and said, "Thanks to my second brother for helping me this time. Please accept these things."

He thought Tian Lin would refuse based on his personality, but Tian Lin didn't even bother to pretend in front of him and simply took the storage bag:
"I'm sorry to refuse. My eldest brother has something to do at home. I don't want to disturb you. I'll take my leave now."

Tian Lin took the storage bag and left, leaving Gao He standing on the stone steps with a changing expression.

Tian Lin didn't care how the couple quarreled that night. He returned the supplies and directly poured out the contents of the storage bag.

In addition to twenty or so mid-grade spirit stones, Tian Lin glanced at the books on refining equipment and threw them to Yu'er and Cui'er.

The pills inside were not rare items, so Tian Lin gave them to Yu'er to sell.

Yu'er and Cui'er only knew that Rong Gongfeng had given Tian Lin the battle flag, but they didn't know that Rong Gongfeng was blackmailed by Tian Lin using the matter of Cai Shu.

They never thought that Tian Lin not only blackmailed people, but also killed them in the end.

Therefore, they all felt sorry for Tian Linming who had taken advantage of them: "This Rong guy dared to do bad things in Gao's house when you were at home. He really didn't take you seriously."

Cui'er especially hated Rong Gongfeng very much. It was Rong Gongfeng who had snatched Tian Lin's soul-gathering bead from her and her sister. If her sister and her sister had not been protected by Master Long Dan, they would have been beaten to death on the spot by Rong Gongfeng.

"And that Taoist Gao is really something. You helped him protect Cai Xiangu, but he didn't say anything in return. He is really too much of a bully."

Tian Lin shook his head and said, "In this case, the ones who are pitiful are the sword bearers and sword slaves of Rong Gong."

Cui Er disagreed and said:
"How many sword bearers and sword slaves have been killed by Rong at sea? His own master doesn't feel sorry for him, so why do you have to show mercy and shed tears for others?"

Tian Lin was speechless for a moment. Even Cui'er, who was also born with a sword, did not show any grief over the death of a rabbit, so why was he still saying these hypocritical words?
"Pick a few of the elixirs that Rong has offered, and bring my business card to see the Thirteenth Young Master tomorrow."

Tian Lin didn't plan to stay in Pingyang City any longer. He saw that besides talking about the teleportation array, what was more important was to let Tong Shisan go and ask Fairy Mei about the Tian Yi Sheng Water Art.

After Cui'er and her sister took the pills and went out to discuss, Tian Lin lay back in his chair, somewhat tired.

If he was not so powerful, and Rong Gongsheng was only at the dual-spiritual foundation building stage - how could he have killed Rong Gongsheng so quickly?

If he could not resolve the battle cleanly and kill Rong before the other priests arrived, then the current situation would only put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, everything went very smoothly and now I just have to wait to meet Tong Shisan tomorrow.
