The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 99: Corrupted

By now, Mo Cheng was convinced that Ye Ming was superior to him. Hence, he put a respectful expression on his face.

When Ye Ming noticed that, he was still fine with it.

Compared to the robotic respect when he unleashed the Violet Origin Flame without any alteration of their memory, the current them was still tolerable.

Yes, he wanted to be high profile, but not to the point that it forced them to behave like servants.

What he desired was the type of senior that people looked up to and not the type of fear.

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, then don’t bother us." Ye Ming suddenly said and turned to Lin Loi. "I’m sure she got more to ask from me, so unless you want to disturb her learning. Then feel free to converse further."

Upon hearing that, Mo Cheng didn’t hesitate to excuse himself. His proudest disciple was Lin Loi, so not only was he not jealous of her breakthrough, but he was also looking forward to her growth.

"I shall leave her in your hands, Senior Dao." Mo Cheng said and turned into a wisp of smoke. He wouldn’t dare to linger further and delay his disciple’s improvement.

As for Gong Shu, he was stuck in a dilemma. On one hand, he was satisfied with Lin Loi’s growth, but on the other hand, he was worried about his other disciple’s injuries.

"One shouldn’t be overly biased." Ye Ming suddenly commented.

Before Gong Shu could respond, Ye Ming continued, "I know you cherish your disciple Tian Suyin, but that doesn’t mean you should forget your other disciple, Lin Loi."

"..."

Gong Shu was rendered speechless. He took a glance at Lin Loi who was consolidating her cultivation base and sighed softly.

He cupped his fist and bowed before Ye Ming. "You’re right. I shouldn’t behave in such a manner."

Shortly after, Gong Shu left the Justice Hall. From his expression, it was clear that he was going to reflect on himself.

Once his presence could no longer be felt, Lin Loi opened her eyes.

She gazed at Ye Ming with a bittersweet smile.

"Thank you, Senior Dao." She said and appreciated his effort. She might have been consolidating her cultivation base, but her ears were still working. She could obviously discern why Ye Ming said what he said earlier.

Ye Ming was warning her Master to stop playing favoritism and treat her the same way he would treat Tian Suyin.

"There’s no need to thank me," Ye Ming shook his head and rejected the appreciation remark. "I don’t like you, but I can see that you are working hard as an appointed city lord. At the very least, I’ve yet to see much flaw in the city."

Other than a few skirmishes that occurred within the city, none of them actually broke the city’s law. Therefore, those people were able to get away scot-free.

However, once those skirmishes escalated big enough and broke the city’s law. It didn’t matter which party they belonged to. Both parties would be detained and trial without any discrimination.

If any party’s background attempted to intervene or do any foul play, Lin Loi would be the first to suppress them.

She had no hesitation when delivering the judgment—going as far as threatening the other party who wanted to use violence in return.

Based on this action alone, it had gained Ye Ming’s respect and why he was willing to help clear her hidden impurities.

When compared to Tian Suyin, he was much more pleased with Lin Loi’s conduct of behavior.

So what if Tian Suyin was talented?

She was too arrogant and out of touch with reality.

"Anyway, take your time to consolidate your breakthrough, but don’t forget about the deal." Ye Ming stood up and exited.

Naturally, the deal was about the Blue Wind Sect incident revolving around Chu Dong and Tao Wang. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Currently, both of them were detained without any favorable treatment.

However, Lin Loi already received the evidence to know which one was guilty. Since that was the case, she would normally release the innocent and punish the guilty.

’Ugh, this is really going against my principle.’ Lin Loi exhaled deeply and could only call for Sha Wong to enter.

A few seconds later, Sha Wong entered with a startled expression.

’6th level of Spirit Severing Realm?’ Sha Wong instantly noticed the city lord’s breakthrough. He was able to quickly pinpoint the cause of this should be the mysterious Dao Lord.

"Congrats on your breakthrough, city lord." Sha Wong cupped his fist and hurriedly congratulated her. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he recalled his attempt to attack Ye Ming.

Although he failed in the end and got suppressed, that didn’t nullify his action was equivalent to showing violence against her benefactor.

When Lin Loi noticed him sweating, she took a deep breath and explained, "There’s no need to be concerned about your previous action. I was taken by surprise too, so don’t brood over it."

"Thank you, city lord."

"Anyway, let’s talk about the case regarding Chu Dong and Tao Wang. Interrogate Chu Dong properly, but there’s no need to do much for Tao Wang. Make sure she’s well and is transitioning to a comfortable area."

"Eh?" Dumbfounded, Sha Wong’s eyes widened in surprise. Clearly, he didn’t expect the unbiased city lord to suddenly make such a decision.

’Could it be that Senior Dao was favoring Tao Wang and assisted the city lord’s breakthrough in exchange?’ Sha Wong pondered silently but quickly debunked the thought.

After all, if that was the case, then the order he should receive would be to release Tao Wang.

Why else would he be tasked to simply transition her to a comfortable area if Ye Ming wanted to rescue Tao Wang?

There were so many doubts, but knowing that the information might be out of his league, Sha Wong ultimately obliged the order and left the scene.

’Great, now I appear corrupted in front of my subordinate.’ Lin Loi flashed a bitter smile. She naturally understood the reason behind Sha Wong’s slight pause.
