Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 308: The Ancestor’s Suspicions

Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe’s pupils contracted sharply as they suddenly remembered last night’s events.

Just now, they had both failed to recall the experience from last night and its connection to this matter.

Now that they thought about it...

Indeed, how could a common crime involve the Ghost Wall phenomenon?

If it wasn’t a common crime, what use would there be in just calling the police?

With this kind of incident, there’s no evidence...

Cui Wenzhe became listless all of a sudden, slowly sinking back into his seat, head hung low as if too ashamed to show his face.

Yao Xuanhang fell silent for a moment, his expression darkening. Suddenly, he was no longer as flippant as before and asked in a serious tone, "So, there’s no way to deal with him?"

"Of course there’s a way. But haven’t you thought of something else?" Jiangli curled his lips, feeling somewhat sorry for their intelligence.

Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe looked at each other blankly.

Then they both turned to Jiangli in unison and asked in chorus.

"What?"

Jiangli sighed and gestured Xia Xin over with a hook of his finger, "What about you? Do you notice anything wrong?"

Xia Xin had been pondering Jiangli’s words when suddenly called upon. He instantly became nervous, "I, I’m also thinking... Ancestor, is it... very strange?"

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "What’s strange?"

Xia Xin leaned his hand against his jaw, "I was just thinking that Mr. Cui mentioned earlier that Tao Yicheng’s family used to be ordinary people living in a small county town, but... the Ghost Wall, ordinary people can’t do that, right?"

Cui Wenzhe and Yao Xuanhang suddenly lifted their eyelids, their pupils contracting again.

They finally realized where the problem lay.

Jiangli looked at Xia Xin with rare approval, "Not bad, you’ve actually made some progress."

Xia Xin chuckled sheepishly, "I, I didn’t figure it out at first..."

Initially, he truly hadn’t sensed anything amiss.

But after Jiangli brought it up...

He went back over Jiangli’s words in his head and finally detected the issue.

Jiangli said, "That’s already quite commendable."

Her gaze landed on the two men in front of her, her message clear without needing to say it outright. fгeewebnovёl.com

After all, there were still two fools here.

Cui Wenzhe and Yao Xuanhang felt extremely embarrassed.

The two really hadn’t considered these points.

Blinded by anger, they were too incredulous and furious to care about anything else.

"Technically, Tao Yicheng shouldn’t know about these things..." Cui Wenzhe speculated, "Could he have learnt about them somewhere?"

Jiangli clicked her tongue in disapproval.

Xia Xin added insightfully, "That’s impossible! It’s very difficult to start practicing Xuanmen, it generally requires Childlike Skill. It’s even harder for someone who starts practicing midway; without guidance, one might go through their whole life without even touching the threshold. I’m inclined to think that someone might be covertly helping Tao Yicheng, and that person is likely from Xuanmen. Ancestor, is that right?"

He looked expectantly at Jiangli.

Jiangli raised her brows, "You’ve still got some brains."

It was an affirmation for Xia Xin.

Xia Xin beamed brightly.

Cui Wenzhe suddenly realized, "Is it that Tao Yicheng sought help from someone else, like how Xuanhang and I did, and found a person from Xuanmen?"

Jiangli shook her head, "No, a legitimate Xuanmen practitioner wouldn’t commit such harmful acts. Most likely, he found someone practicing evil cultivation."

"Evil cultivation?" Yao Xuanhang was baffled.

Xia Xin explained, "Nowadays, Xuanmen is on the decline; many people don’t believe in these things. Legitimate Xuanmen practitioners sometimes can’t even make ends meet. Occasionally, for fame or profit, there are those who privately help wealthy people do bad things. These people are not considered mainstream Xuanmen; they’re seen as belonging to an evil practice. So we commonly refer to them as practitioners of evil cultivation."

Yao Xuanhang was stunned, "There are so many distinctions..."

Xia Xin smiled, "The intricacies within Xuanmen are indeed quite complex. Even now, I only understand a little about them. But you can rest assured, with our Abbot here, any trouble can surely be resolved!"
