Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 76 – Disputes in the Law Enforcement Hall

The reason Douglas Situ received the news that he was still alive was that Xie Ding'an helped spread the word at that time.

In the month at the martial arts arena, Ghost Guest engaged in one brutal duel after another. Although his opponents were cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall and wouldn't go for the kill, when both sides fought with all their might, such considerations were forgotten. If he was accidentally killed, it would just be bad luck, and no one would care.

At first, he lost twenty matches in a row, but after gaining some experience, he turned the tables and ended with fifty-two victories.

To win and survive, he had to train desperately. The life-and-death pressure accelerated his progress, and in just over a month, he had opened his twenty-ninth acupoint, and his dueling skills had improved exponentially.

Afterward, he joined the Law Enforcement Hall.

According to the rules of the Law Enforcement Hall, winning more than fifty matches allowed one to join. He had already joined the Medicine Gate and didn't want to join the Law Enforcement Hall, but Xie Ding'an insisted he couldn't leave without joining, so he had no choice.

He took on his first task for the Law Enforcement Hall, bringing back the head of an unknown cultivator as a token of allegiance.

Finally, he sought out Brian Qin and Robert Zhou, bringing them back with him.

Brian was willing to help because of past grievances with Ghost Guest, choosing to act for free to clear the air. As for Robert, it was simply because Ghost Guest offered a lot of Spirit Stones.

In just over a month, he seemed like a different person, with a sharper gaze and an unintentional aura of killing intent cultivated in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Suddenly, the restriction above the courtyard fluctuated, and Laura hurried out to check. When she returned, her eyes held a hint of unease.

"It's that girl who came looking for you last time. She said you should visit the Medicine Gate tomorrow, and..."

"And what?"

Laura frowned slightly, seemingly displeased. After a moment of hesitation, she relayed Amanda Han's words truthfully, "She said she misses you."

"Ignore her, she's always so frivolous," Ghost Guest said with a helpless smile.

Laura's expression returned to calm. After helping Ghost Guest bathe and dress, she slipped into his bed.

"What are you doing?" Ghost Guest frowned.

Laura curled up under the covers, only her head peeking out, smiling with eyes like rippling water.

"I'm warming the bed for you, sir."

...

The next day, Laura gently knocked on the door. After receiving Ghost Guest's response, she entered with a copper basin. Despite Ghost Guest's insistence that it wasn't necessary, she persisted in helping him wash up.

Watching Laura become more adept at assisting him with dressing, Ghost Guest teased, "You're becoming more like a maid."

Laura carefully adjusted his collar, speaking softly, "I am your maid, sir, and always will be."

Ghost Guest replied gently, "I've always seen you as a sister; you don't have to do all this."

Laura smiled sweetly, "Since I'm your sister, I should take good care of my brother."

"My mother used to tell me that boys and girls are the same. I'm older, so I should be the one taking care of you." Ghost Guest spun around in front of the copper mirror, nodding in satisfaction. "I'm heading out."

Laura's eyes filled with worry. The events of the past were still vivid in her mind, and she feared Ghost Guest would disappear for a long time again. She quickly asked, "When will you be back?"

Ghost Guest reached out to ruffle Laura's hair. "I'll be back before dinner. Have Little Tiger prepare something tasty for me."

Laura watched Ghost Guest leave, her heart fluttering at his earlier affectionate gesture.

She felt that Ghost Guest had changed since his return. The old Ghost Guest was gentle but distant, hard to get close to. But the current Ghost Guest treated her and Little Tiger no differently.

Was it acceptance?

She suddenly understood that Ghost Guest and Little Tiger were close because they had faced hardships together, while she was just a guest who arrived by chance.

But during Ghost Guest's absence, she had kept his instructions secret, sharing in some experiences, which allowed for a deeper trust.

With this realization, Laura's eyes filled with hope, longing to share more experiences with Ghost Guest.

Inside the Medicine Gate, Ghost Guest had just entered the Fragrance Beauty Tower when Amanda Han, informed by her subordinates, came out to greet him with a charming smile. "You finally showed up. I've been worried about you every day, thinking about you so much that I've lost weight. How do you plan to make it up to me?"

"I'll treat you to a meal another day, let you eat a few more bowls," Ghost Guest said, rubbing his nose, then changed the subject. "I want to see Deputy Gate Master Xiao."

"Another day, always another day. You said you'd treat me to tea last time, and you still owe me. Your 'another day' is always 'another day.' Don't you know it's better to choose a day than to wait for it?" Amanda Han gave Ghost Guest a resentful look, leading him through the towering buildings to the stone wall at the back of the Medicine Gate. She spoke softly, "Deputy Gate Master, Ghost Guest requests an audience."

The smooth stone wall instantly lit up with complex restrictions. As the restrictions dissipated, a stone cave over three meters high was revealed, and Xiao Shenghe's voice echoed from within.

"Junior Brother Ghost Guest, come in for a chat."

Amanda Han stood aside, pointing to the stone cave, gesturing for Ghost Guest to enter.

As soon as Ghost Guest stepped into the passage, the stone wall returned to its original state, showing no trace from the outside.

The passage was narrow and winding, eerily silent. For a cultivator with keen senses, even the sound of breathing could seem loud.

Ghost Guest walked slowly for a while until the scene before him opened up into a spacious hall. Stone tables and chairs were neatly arranged, with a crane longevity painting carved into the stone wall at the front and four tightly closed stone doors on either side.

This was a true cave dwelling, hollowing out the entire mountain and sealing it with restrictions for peaceful cultivation.

"Junior Brother, what brings you to me?" Xiao Shenghe's voice suddenly echoed from all directions.

Ghost Guest couldn't pinpoint the source of the voice until he heard the sound of tea being poured. Looking closely, he saw Xiao Shenghe already seated at the previously empty stone table. He quickly cupped his fists in salute.

"Greetings, Deputy Gate Master. I have something to report."
