Chapter 294: Chapter 152 Specific Deletion_2

Red Mountain Lady reluctantly let go of Heavenly Elder.

"All disciples of Red Mountain Hall, heed my command, no one is to strike!"

Master Yu said loudly, then secretly transmitted a message to Red Mountain Lady, "Lady, go immediately to see Lord Cen and Lord Ma, and ask them to come here quickly."

Understanding his meaning, Red Mountain Lady instantly transformed into a gust of wind and departed.

Wu Daozheng also ordered the members of Tianlao Society to cease their actions.

Everyone stopped, and Wu Daozheng breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that each member of Tianlao Society he had brought was injured, some even killed, with two to three out of ten members dead, causing him great distress.

The young man from the Xia Family stood floating in the air, his gaze sweeping across both banks of the Min River and settling on the two Hall Masters, "Both Hall Masters are important figures in Gongzhou City, yet you engage in private armed conflict, violating Great Ming’s laws. Are you aware of your crimes?"

Wu Daozheng recognized the young man from the Xia Family and hurriedly said, "Young Master Luoying, Chen Shi of Red Mountain Hall killed seventy-four of our Tianlao Society brothers and even kicked down our Incense Hall, an act of unbearable humiliation, a grudge that cannot coexist under the same sky! Master Yu also allowed his subordinate to create chaos, and when I wanted to reason with him, he led the rioters of Red Mountain Hall to kill the brothers of our Tianlao Society! Please, Young Master, take up our cause!"

The young man from the Xia Family was named Xia Luoying, the eldest son of the Xia Family in Gongzhou, quite shrewd and capable. General Xia promoted Xia Luoying as Assistant General without avoiding nepotism, thereby the father and son controlled the military power of Gongzhou.

Xia Luoying stood in mid-air, unflinchingly showing his high cultivation, his expression darkened as he said, "Master Yu, do you have anything else to say? Speak your reasoning; I will not be partial and just listen to one side."

Master Yu bowed, "My Lord, Tianlao Society traffics in humans, abducting children, and turns these children into cultivated babies..."

Xia Luoying interrupted him, "Do you have proof?"

Master Yu was slightly taken aback, wasn’t Tianlao Society’s Caiseng Hall already audited by the inspecting officials and government officials? Was that not proof?

Xia Luoying said indifferently, "The government office reports seventy-four corpses found in Caiseng Hall, all from Caiseng Hall, killed by Master Chen of Red Mountain Hall. I have never seen any cultivated babies, though."

Master Yu sighed deeply and stopped talking.

Xia Luoying said, "For Red Mountain Hall to massacre so many people from Tianlao Society and openly chase Master Wu, this is too much. You rebels..."

Suddenly, a sharp laugh came, "Assistant General, those words are too harsh! All these people from Tianlao Society clearly died by the hands of Chen Shi, Scholar Chen, and Master Wu was injured by Scholar Chen, what does it have to do with Red Mountain Hall?"

Hearing this voice, Xia Luoying was shocked and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a man approaching quickly, wearing a black official hat and a red horse-faced dress, his face pale, beardless, and smiling.

"Garrison eunuch Cen Xuefu! This old cur, he’s come to protect Master Yu!" Xia Luoying thought to himself.

Red Mountain Lady arrived beside Master Yu and whispered, "Lord Ma refused to come, only Lord Cen, upon hearing the news, rushed over."

Master Yu breathed a sigh of relief, speaking quietly, "Lord Ma took so much silver from me, yet he’s not as reliable as a eunuch."

Both the Garrison Eunuch Cen Xuefu and Procurator Ma Weigong act as the backing for Red Mountain Hall.

The Garrison Eunuch was responsible for monitoring the general, partially managing military power, and ensuring security within Gongzhou Province; Evil Spirits also fell under his jurisdiction.

The Procurator was responsible for the criminal justice in Gongzhou, pursuing Evil Spirits.

Whenever an Evil Spirit appeared in Gongzhou Province, it was transferred to Red Mountain Hall for handling, the Procurator funding the operations.

Master Yu knew how to be a man, annually paying a large sum of silver to Ma Weigong and Cen Xuefu, thus when he heard of trouble at Red Mountain Hall, Eunuch Cen came rushing over at the earliest.

Eunuch Cen laughed, "All the misdeeds were committed by this Scholar Chen alone, Young Master Luoying, what do you think?"

Before Xia Luoying could speak, a loud laugh came, General Xia Chuli approached from the Xia residence, saying with a laugh, "Eunuch Cen speaks truthfully, everything was done by Scholar Chen alone, it has nothing to do with Red Mountain Hall. It is just that Master Yu was misled by the bandits, causing so many from Tianlao Society to die. Master Yu should have apologized to the Tianlao Society."

Eunuch Cen laughed, "Tiancheng, hand over that Chen, offer some silver to the Tianlao Society and host a banquet to apologize to Master Wu, then this matter will be considered closed."

With a single sentence, the two influential figures cleared the connection of Red Mountain Hall, amicably.

All eyes were on Master Yu; the gaze of Master Lu from the Road and Master Xiao fixed on Chen Shi inside the wooden cart, continuously winking at him, signaling him to slip away quickly.

Master Yu, unfazed, bowed and said, "Responding to the Lord, Our Red Mountain Hall does not have a person named Scholar Chen."

Eunuch Cen slightly frowned, he had already given Master Yu a way out, and Master Yu should have taken the hint. Now by denying the existence of Scholar Chen, wasn’t he embarrassing him and General Xia?

Xia Luoying sneered, "The Scholar Chen from your Red Mountain Hall, is the newly appointed instructor, named Chen, Chen, Chen..."

His expression puzzled, as Chen Shi’s name reached his lips, he forgot what it was.

Beside Chen Shi, Black Pot gazed deeply at Xia Luoying.

Xia Luoying’s forehead was drenched with cold sweat; he simply couldn’t recall that name, and eventually, even Chen Shi’s surname slipped from his memory.

General Xia’s eyes were sharp as lightning, sweeping across the crowd with a cold laugh, "Such petty tricks, daring to show off!"

His gaze fell upon the black dog next to Chen Shi, who stood on its hind legs, looking back at him, causing a moment of dizziness.

General Xia shook his head, still feeling dazed.

In his hazy mind, the name that almost reached his lips was also totally forgotten.

The name ’Chen Shi’ was evidently familiar, but he just couldn’t say it out loud; it slipped away whenever it reached his lips.

He had never encountered such a bizarre occurrence before!

The eunuch was startled, following General Xia’s gaze toward Chen Shi’s wooden cart, his eyes landing on the black dog, and suddenly, he couldn’t remember Chen Shi’s name either.

General Xia’s forehead also broke out in a cold sweat; suddenly, he called out loudly, "Wu Daozheng, that person from Caiseng Hall, what is his name again?"

Wu Daozheng held a deep grudge against Chen Shi stemming from their conflicts at Caiseng Hall. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "This person is named..."

His face showed confusion, his brows furrowed tightly as he pondered hard; however, he still couldn’t remember Chen Shi’s name.

"I know his name!"

The giant head of the Heavenly Elder floated up, exclaiming, "This youngster killed the disciples of Tianlao Society and ruined our offerings, I definitely won’t forget! His name is..."

The old woman’s eyes bulged, suddenly revealing a hint of terror and unease.

The members of the Tianlao Society also chimed in: "I remember that man’s name, he is called, he is called..."

"What is it... strange, what was it?"

"How strange! I clearly remember his name!"

The Tianlao Society was in complete disarray.

The terror in the eyes of the Heavenly Elder deepened, suddenly she screamed, "Evil Spirit! There’s an Evil Spirit here!"

She herself was actually an Evil God, but at this moment, filled with inexplicable terror, she cried out about an Evil Spirit and whooshed away!

General Xia, Xia Luoying, and the others also showed signs of fear, each steadying their minds, cautiously retreating.

Wu Daozheng quickly followed the Heavenly Elder, whooshing away, soon disappearing!

The eunuch calmed himself, whispering to Yu Tiancheng, "Tiancheng, this Evil Spirit is no ordinary matter; even I was affected. Be careful! I’ll take my leave now, contact me if needed!"

Yu Tiancheng bowed, saying, "Sir, I won’t see you off."

The eunuch waved his hand, suddenly shivered, and quickly departed.

Incense Master approached Chen Shi’s cart, whispering, "Master, what was your name again? I seem to have suddenly forgotten it..."

Before he could finish, the black dog beside the cart swayed unsteadily, then suddenly thumped to the ground, fainting.

Upon seeing this, Chen Shi cried out in alarm, quickly climbed out of the cart, and struggled to lift the dog into the cart.

He felt the dog’s chest for a heartbeat; relieved to find it still beat.

Yu Tiancheng approached him, saying, "Follow me! Wait a second, what’s your name?"

Red Mountain Lady also came up to Chen Shi, curiously looking at him, saying, "What’s your name? You still owe me three days!"

Chen Shi was utterly shocked; everyone present, including Yu Tiancheng and Red Mountain Lady, seemed to have had their memory of his name completely erased!

"Black Pot, where did Grandpa pick you up from?"

A sudden thought popped into his mind, "If I fatten up Black Pot and then take him out to breed... I’m going to make a fortune!"
