Three Sins Against Heaven-Chapter 88 – Busy as a marketplace

A perfect Spirit Root with an innate divine ability?

One day, his Wood Spirit Root would also reach perfection, and he would have his own innate divine ability!

In the small lakeside cabin on the Jadeite Platform, Kenneth Yi looked at the unconscious Mark Ye lying on the bed, a gentle smile on his face.

"This game was resolved well."

...

Outside Ghost Guest's courtyard on Dusk Mountain, a long line had formed.

Ever since defeating Mark Ye, Ghost Guest's reputation had spread far and wide. Every day, numerous cultivators came to visit, even those who had never interacted with him before, hoping to take this opportunity to befriend him.

Although Laura Jiang had explained that Ghost Guest was still recovering, these people continued to wait daily, eager to be the first to see him and show their sincerity.

Previously, people favored Mark Ye over Ghost Guest, given Mark Ye's natural talent. But after this battle, no one thought Ghost Guest was inferior to Mark Ye. Mark Ye had suffered at Ghost Guest's hands twice, and everyone now knew who was more worth befriending.

Ghost Guest had instructed Laura Jiang to treat these people kindly but not to let them in or accept anything from them.

He didn't despise these opportunistic cultivators; it was human nature, after all. But such people couldn't be deeply trusted. If Mark Ye regained power, they would likely run to him to curry favor.

A few days later, Ghost Guest stepped out of his courtyard and faced the bustling crowd, clasping his hands in salute. "Thank you, fellow brothers, for your concern. I have fully recovered. I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedules to visit. Your kindness is noted and remembered. During my recovery, Dangui Pavilion has been overwhelmed with matters that need urgent attention, so I can't entertain you properly. Please return to your homes, and I will visit you in the future."

Reluctantly, the crowd dispersed, but Xie Ding'an remained, waiting until everyone had left before approaching Ghost Guest. Bowing deeply, he sincerely said, "Junior Brother Ghost Guest, I offended you a few days ago. Today, I came specifically to apologize and hope for your forgiveness."

Ghost Guest helped Xie Ding'an up, smiling, "Senior Brother, you're too serious. I did act too harshly before. If Mark Ye had truly died by my hand, it would have been right for you to punish me."

Xie Ding'an's eyes were filled with guilt as he whispered, "It's your generosity, Junior Brother. After Deputy Hall Master Wang Li learned of this, he severely reprimanded me. I've thought it over these past few days and realized my handling of the situation was indeed inappropriate. Once on the Martial Arena, it's a life-and-death battle, and there's no holding back. I shouldn't have blamed you. How about this: I'll host a banquet to apologize to you, and Deputy Hall Master Wang Li will also attend. Would that be acceptable?"

Ghost Guest smiled, "I appreciate your kind offer, Senior Brother, but today I need to go to Deputy Gate Master Lin's place to receive orders, so I really can't spare the time. Let's talk about it another day."

"Are you saying you're still angry with me?" Xie Ding'an's face turned gloomy.

Ghost Guest shook his head with a smile, "Please convey to Senior Brother Wang Li that I've received his goodwill. As for the matter on the Martial Arena, it's a personal grudge between Mark Ye and me and has nothing to do with anyone else. I've already accepted Senior Brother Lin Han's invitation, and it wouldn't be appropriate to break my promise. Besides, no matter whom I work under, I'm still a part of the Law Enforcement Hall. After meeting with Senior Brother Lin Han today, I also need to see my senior brother. It's been a long time since I last visited him. With only two hours of teaching time each month, I always feel there's not enough time to learn from him, let alone chat. Today, time is really tight, so I can't attend the banquet. If you explain this to Senior Brother Wang Li, I'm sure he'll understand."

When he heard Xie Ding'an mention Wang Li, he immediately understood the real purpose of Xie Ding'an's visit.

Even though he had defeated Mark Ye, it wasn't enough to make Wang Li lower himself like this.

He knew Wang Li wasn't afraid of him but of his senior brother. Though he hadn't explicitly said it, he had already indicated that he wouldn't speak carelessly in front of his senior brother, thus reassuring Wang Li. Wang Li, knowing this, wouldn't hold a grudge against his refusal.

He found it somewhat amusing. If Wang Li and Xie Ding'an knew that the plan was devised by his senior brother for Mark Ye, their expressions would surely be priceless.

After a moment of hesitation, Xie Ding'an solemnly bowed again before leaving.

Just as Ghost Guest was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a complex gaze upon him. Turning around, he saw Douglas Situ standing at a distance, looking at him with an indescribable expression. After returning the salute, Ghost Guest headed down the mountain.

Douglas Situ's expression was inscrutable, as if he had something on his mind.

Behind him, a cultivator hesitated for a long time before speaking up, "Mountain Lord, many cultivators from Dusk Mountain were just outside his door. This isn't a good sign. He was already a steward of the Medicine Gate, and now, having defeated Mark Ye, he's about to become a steward of the Law Enforcement Hall. His influence is unmatched. Although you are the Mountain Lord, it's said that two tigers cannot share one mountain. I'm not trying to sow discord, but if this continues, his reputation will soon surpass yours. And it won't be long before he reaches the fifth level of Qi Refinement. We must be cautious."

"Enough!" Douglas Situ glared at the cultivator, then looked up at Ghost Guest disappearing down the mountain path, his expression growing more complex. "No, we share a bond forged in adversity. He would never betray me, and I would never betray him!"
