Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 77 – Unexpected schemer

This question had been on his mind since he emerged from a pile of corpses, and he still hadn't figured it out.

After leaving the Medicine Gate, Ghost Guest headed straight for the Jadeite Platform. He had already wasted a teaching opportunity during his month at the Law Enforcement Hall, and with the end of the month approaching, he needed to seek guidance from his senior brother.

Inside the lakeside cabin, Ghost Guest and Kenneth Yi sat facing each other, quietly sipping tea as always.

"Did you meet with Xiao Shenghe?" Kenneth Yi suddenly asked.

Ghost Guest smiled and nodded, "As expected, nothing escapes senior brother."

"Tell me about your recent experiences." Kenneth Yi smiled warmly.

Ghost Guest was puzzled, "Senior brother should already know everything about me, so why ask?"

Kenneth Yi laughed, "The same thing can sound completely different from different people's mouths. Listening to their words reveals their hearts. I want to hear it."

Though Ghost Guest was confused, he recounted his recent experiences once more.

After listening, Kenneth Yi lifted the teapot lid to change the tea, speaking slowly, "You seem very puzzled."

Ghost Guest nodded, "I can't understand why the Law Enforcement Hall insists on me joining when I'm not the combative type."

Kenneth Yi poured the boiled water into the teapot, waited a moment, then poured the brewed tea for Ghost Guest before speaking, "You said it yourself, you're not combative, and joining the Law Enforcement Hall inevitably involves conflict and even fighting. Everyone has a purpose for what they do. Think carefully about what makes you special, something others in the Law Enforcement Hall don't have."

"Besides being a personal disciple, I'm no different from others." Ghost Guest's confusion deepened.

Kenneth Yi smiled, "Being a personal disciple isn't enough?"

"It's because of Mark Ye that they want me in the Law Enforcement Hall." Ghost Guest suddenly realized, but then grew puzzled again, "But why?"

"I teach both you and Mark Ye. I can't be biased, so I'll only say this much. Today, you should think it over here. When you figure it out, this lesson will be over." Kenneth Yi said no more, simply refilling Ghost Guest's tea.

Cup after cup of tea was consumed. By the lesson's hour, it had long exceeded two hours, but Kenneth Yi showed no sign of urging, calmly watching Ghost Guest, who was lost in thought with his teacup.

Outside, a spring rain quietly arrived. Kenneth Yi gently pushed open the window, watching the raindrops merge with the lake, ripples spreading, a knowing smile on his face.

Listening to the pitter-patter of rain, Ghost Guest's heart finally calmed, and he found the answer.

Xie Ding'an wanted him to join the Law Enforcement Hall to counterbalance Mark Ye. The Law Enforcement Hall valued his status as a personal disciple.

Mark Ye had already broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement, promoted to steward, and with his perfect Gold and Fire Spirit Root, no cultivator in the same realm could rival him, making him extremely prominent.

Moreover, with the title of a personal disciple, no one dared to challenge him, making him difficult to control.

Having once defeated Mark Ye, joining the Law Enforcement Hall would inevitably lead to conflict with him. In such a struggle, support must be sought, allowing Xie Ding'an to exert both favor and authority.

From Mark Ye's perspective, it was actually a good thing. The Law Enforcement Hall regularly held sparring sessions, providing Mark Ye the best opportunity to deal with him. Once he broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement, Mark Ye would undoubtedly challenge him.

Even if Mark Ye killed him, he could claim it was an accident. With Mark Ye's talent, their master wouldn't demand Mark Ye's life in return, at most imposing some punishment.

The Law Enforcement Hall clearly valued Mark Ye more, which was why, even after Ghost Guest joined the Medicine Gate, they still forced him to join the Law Enforcement Hall, cooperating with Mark Ye to complete this covert plan and secure Mark Ye's loyalty.

This plan benefited both Xie Ding'an and Mark Ye, but for him, it was a disaster.

Fortunately, he won the Medicine Gate competition, gaining Xiao Shenghe's favor, which spared him from further repercussions. Without the Medicine Gate's protection, he would be at the Law Enforcement Hall's mercy.

The crucial point was that even if he understood this, he could only face the challenge.

Unless he stopped cultivating altogether, using the disparity in cultivation levels to avoid a duel with Mark Ye.

But in doing so, once Mark Ye reached a certain level, even if he killed him in front of everyone, no one would likely care.

What a vicious plan, tailor-made for him. No matter his choice, he couldn't escape death!

He suddenly felt something was off. Mark Ye was always arrogant and couldn't have devised such a meticulous plan. The person capable of such a scheme must know him well.

Thinking of this, Ghost Guest couldn't help but cast his gaze toward Kenneth Yi standing by the window.

He was reluctant to suspect his senior brother, who had always treated him well, but the only one capable of such planning was right before him.

Yet he still couldn't understand why, as fellow personal disciples, his senior brother would offer such advice to Mark Ye.

After pondering for a long time, Ghost Guest spoke in a deep voice, "Senior brother, I have a question to ask."

Kenneth Yi stood with his back to Ghost Guest, hands behind his back, not turning around.

"You may ask, but only one question."
