Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 287: Chapter 286: The Minister of Justice Should Also Go to Prison_1

Daoist Buyu, whose real name is Ye Wanli, is 2220 years old and currently serves as the Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect. During his detention, he attempted to escape but stopped himself wilfully, which is deemed as cessation of crime. Moreover, he turned himself in voluntarily, showing signs of confession and repentance. He also reported on other culprits involved. According to the criminal law, he should be punished less severely, or even be exempted from criminal punishment.

Xu Xin, 2232 years old, is currently the Minister of Justice for the Great Xia Dynasty. During his work in Goose County, he openly conspired with Daoist Buyu for a jailbreak plan, voluntarily opened the jail cell that set Daoists Buyu free. His lawless behavior, in contempt of the law and public jailbreak, caused a terrible social impact and warranted serious punishment.

Mo Danxin silently evaluated Daoist Buyu and the Minister of Justice.

As expected of the Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect, at the first meeting, he sent one Minister, who is the most proficient in law, to the prison.

“Master Xu, please come in. I will open a trial for this case another day.”

According to jurisdiction stipulations, Mo Danxin was qualified to handle this case.

Master Xu could claim to be the person who was most conversant with the laws of the dynasty. He possessed far more understanding of both legal theory and practice than Mo Danxin. However, Old Buyu was too cunning and lured him into opening the cell door. He impulsively complied, oblivious to the underlying scheme.

Typically, releasing a person would cause no stir, but this time it was different. Mo Danxin persisted in nitpicking, and Xu couldn’t justify his actions.

Since he was in the wrong, it’s best to obediently spend some time behind bars. Just think of it as a life lesson.

Master Xu snorted coldly and walked into the jail cell. He gave the dignified Daoist Buyu a glance and said, “Move aside, this is my spot!”

“It’s just spending time in jail, who’s afraid?”

There’s a saying among us all that every cell is fully occupied except Daoist Buyu’s.

Daoist Buyu wasn’t bothered. He moved aside, happily welcoming Master Xu to share his cell.

“Master Xu, we will now be brothers who have shared a jail cell. Let’s try to coexist peacefully.”

“Old Buyu, I think you’re courting death!”

Master Xu landed a punch on Daoist Buyu’s face, who dodged by moving his head over to the side.

Daoist Buyu was not an easy target; if he didn’t retaliate against Xu’s assault, his reputation would be tarnished.

He kicked Master Xu’s crotch, causing Xu to snap his legs shut, trapping Daoist Buyu’s foot in between.

Both showed “perfect” precision when controlling their power, with not a shred of wastage. All the force was directed at the opponent and no excess was detected.

The two mighty powers, at the peak of their Unification stage, began to brawl in the cell, each having their moments of triumph.

The inmates were amazed; they didn’t expect to witness a fight between two Unification stage powers that day.

Mo Danxin was silent upon witnessing this scene. Assault inside the prison did not violate the criminal law, and maintaining order inside the prison was the jailers’ responsibility – not his.

If he added up the cultivation levels of Daoist Buyu and the Minister of Justice into the average cultivation level of all the inmates, he realized there’s a Divinity Transformation Stage average. A new historical high.

“Lord Mo, someone outside is requesting a prison visit,” a jailer reported breathlessly to Mo Danxin.

Mo Danxin waved his hand, sounding a bit impatient: “Such trivial matters aren’t worth talking to me about. Let them in.”

God knows how many people visit the prison every day. They said they were visiting, but they were actually just delivering food. Some who brought food would loiter, squatting at the prison cell entrance to listen to Daoist Buyu’s stories.

Mo Danxin assumed it was another one of these cases.

The jailer obeyed Mo Danxin’s command and signaled to his companion at the prison entrance to let the visitors in.

“By the way, who are they here to visit?” Mo Danxin asked on a whim.

“The visitors claim to be the first and fourth disciples of the Seek Dao Sect, here to visit their Sect Leader.”

When Mo Danxin heard the jailer utter the phrase “the Sect Leader of the Seek Dao Sect’s first disciple”, he failed to notice the two Unification stage powers in the cell stop fighting, horror flickering in their eyes.

“You invited Yun Zhi over?!” Master Xu, an old official, knew of Yun Zhi’s reputation. How might the disciple see him with his master while he’s battered him in front of her?

Daoist Buyu also panicked: “Nonsense! I wrote to my sect, asking them to get me out of here, but only the fourth disciple usually comes. Who knew that Yun Zhi would come this time!”

He couldn’t explain why he was terrified of Yun Zhi’s appearance.

“So the Seek Dao Sect has finally sent someone.” Mo Danxin did not recognize Yun Zhi, but decided to be polite. “I’ll go and welcome them.”

“There’s no need, Lord Mo, we’re already here.” Yun Zhi’s aloof voice rang out. Before Mo Danxin could respond, Yun Zhi and Lu Yang were already standing in front of him.

Shrinking Ground into Inches.

“We are here to visit our Master. Where is he?”

Mo Danxin pointed at the neighboring cell.

Following the direction of Mo Danxin’s hand, Yun Zhi saw her Master, Daoist Buyu, sitting in the corner and Minister of Justice adjacent him.

She was silent for a long time, struggling to comprehend what has happened.

Did the Sect Leader and the Minister of Justice have a brawl on the street and got arrested by the authorities?

Considering her Master’s previous offenses and his relationship with the Minister of Justice, this scenario didn’t seem impossible.

“Eldest Senior Sister, who’s locked up with our master?” Lu Yang softly asked. He thought Master Xu seemed refined, exuding a presence that could match even Buyu’s. Xu must be a significant figure as well.

“The Minister of Justice, Xu Xin.” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

“Gasp—”

Lu Yang thought to himself, is the legal system of the Great Xia Dynasty so impeccable that even the Minister of Justice could get incarcerated? I need to be careful not to end up in prison like the Master someday.

Lu Yang was resolved to study the law diligently after returning, hoping to avoid any trouble with the law in the future.

Yun Zhi spoke with an aloof tone, looking at her Master with disdain: “It has been a few months since we last met, dear Master. You are as vibrant as ever, surrounded by an eager crowd and accompanied by enemies. It seems you are living quite leisurely here in prison. I, your disciple, can rest assured.”

Lu Yang whispered, are you sure you’re not doing this intentionally, Eldest Senior Sister? You just dragged me out for a meal, and you even ate more than I did – did you show any concern about the Master’s situation?

But it’s true. The Master doesn’t need to be looked after – the ones who suffer are the people he scams.

Seeing Yun Zhi’s attitude that implied she was ready to leave him high and dry, Daoist Buyu hurriedly spoke: “My dear apprentice, you can’t abandon me! I’m innocent!”

The Minister of Justice, with ample experience in determining innocence or guilt, suggested: “According to the records from the Great Yu Dynasty, if an innocent man is beheaded, it will snow in June. Since it’s currently June, I suggest we behead Old Buyu first and see if it snows!”

“Xu Xin, you son of a bitch! As Minister of Justice, can you act impartially?” Daoist Buyu said angrily.

“I could, but not for you — given you’ve deceived me so many times.”

The fight between two Unification stage practitioners resumed in the small space.

Yun Zhi rubbed her temples in agony. She originally planned to go out to relax. Why can’t she ever live in peace?
