The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1317: Give the Xiao Family a Way Out

"The Yiqidao League must be fair and just."

"At least we need to maintain fairness on the surface."

"Qizhuo, maybe you don't understand this... But I can use another example, a hypothetical one, and you should think about it carefully."

“Suppose there is a person.”

"In public."

"He'll hit his head against the stone lion at the door of your house and die."

"He shouted before he was hit to death... You, Li Quzhuo, have robbed women, colluded with monsters, and sold information. It's hateful that the Xiao family colluded with the Li family. He has no way to go to heaven or to hell. He only wants to die to warn others."

"How are you going to prove yourself?"

"If you really didn't do it."

Lin Chaoci took a sip of tea and asked casually.

Li Quzhuo thought about it and said frankly, "Then let the Xiao family investigate me. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. I didn't do those things. What does the death of the person who slandered me have to do with me?"

"The results of the Xiao family's investigation are out."

“It is indeed slander.”

"But why do you think others can believe the results of this investigation?"

Lin Chaoci dug a hole slowly and methodically.

Li Quzhuo seemed to understand something.

There is no need for Lin Chaoci to reveal his true intentions.

He explained to himself, "Everyone believes in this investigation result based on the premise of the Xiao family. Because the Xiao family holds the position of supervisor in the Yiqi Dao League, it can be said that they are impartial and notorious. They supervise both inside and outside, and in some extreme cases, they even have the power to execute first and report later... And once the Xiao family shields others, even if it is just a trivial shielding, it will make all the ironclad evidence that the Xiao family has made in the past be shaken... In other words, those who are proven innocent by the Xiao family, as long as they are related to the aristocratic family, in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, they are all officials protecting each other, relatives hiding each other, and if the upper and lower levels are not of one mind, why kill the monster?"

“But does the Xiao family really have no selfish motives?”

Before Xiao Wancheng could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Chaoci overturned everything.

A rhetorical question.

In line with Lin Chaoci's cold gaze.

Xiao Wancheng felt a chill on the back of his neck.

For some reason I had the illusion that my head was about to fall off.

Although Lin Chaoci had no intention of targeting Xiao Wancheng, he was just stating the facts: "It is impossible for people to be free from worries and absolutely fair in this world. Just like me, I am fair on the surface, the White Emperor who defeated Fan Yunfei, and selfless in every sense. But privately, I have also saved fox demons, met girls from the Emerald Jade Clan, and even had a relationship with the Moon Crying Clan... Therefore, when I stood up that year, I knew very well what I was doing. Yes, I was covering up a real hidden danger. In order to save Aunt Yang Yan's small family, I gave up the overall situation, but I gave up the overall situation. "I am confident because I know that the Wang Quan family can withstand the pressure. When I grow up, I can overturn this pressure. When a person is dazzling enough, the occasional hobbies can become an excuse for others to feel at ease. No one is perfect... Then, for me, who is not perfect, it is also impossible for me to know how much of Senior Xiao's choice was for work and how much was for personal gain... The most I can guarantee is that he was not absolutely selfish, even if it was one percent, one thousandth, or one billionth, this value will never be zero!"

Lin Chaoci’s analysis of human nature is too straightforward.

Make everyone feel uncomfortable.

That’s the right kind of discomfort.

Except Li Muchen.

Because Li Muchen could feel refreshed from it.

What Lin Chaoci said was exactly what she was thinking.

Even more extreme than her.

But she could only think about the dark side, while Lin Chaoci started directly from human nature and explained these dirty and filthy human nature in the open. This operation, which can be called an art, made her admire it.

"So, if we talk about cleanliness, no one is clean."

“The Xiao family is not clean.”

"I am not clean." "No one is clean."

“I’m not a double standard person.”

"Therefore, when I can't judge myself who is not clean, I also can't judge the Xiao family who is almost as unclean as me."

“That’s what I meant.”

"I want to leave a way out for the Xiao family."

"But if the Xiao family doesn't want to...then do as you please."

"God has the virtue of good life."

"But there is no option to actively seek death."

At this point, Lin Chaoci took a sip of tea and looked at the restless Xiao Wancheng. He was not joking and said, "I see two problems. The first is the internal grievances of the Xiao family, and the second is the attitude of the Xiao family to the outside world... For the first question, my answer is that I will take all the responsibilities. The Xiao family does not have to worry about being retaliated by other families after retreating from the current path. This is my promise. Those who violate it will be regarded as my enemy. But the Xiao family also has to make a promise to me, that is, to sort out all the past unjust, false and wrong cases, and I will... We can agree to keep the Xiao family private, but we must compensate the victims of these unjust, false, and wrongly convicted cases. The specific compensation will be determined based on the circumstances. We will talk about these things later... For the second question, my answer is that I will change everything. Humans and demons are not in opposition. What is in opposition is good and evil. Humans are divided into good and bad, and demons are naturally divided into good and bad. Both sides need a reassurance, so I will give them a reassurance. If the marriage of a demon king and a foundation-building cultivator cannot be recognized by the public, then the marriage of a demon king and a golden elixir cultivator will surely lead to a certain trend."

in the lobby.

Lin Chaoci's words were sonorous and powerful.

The courage in his tone was something Xiao Wancheng had never seen before in his life.

It is also something that other people have never seen before.

The words have not yet fallen.

This already made Xiao Wancheng and the others break out in cold sweats.

The main thing is that Lin Chaoci really dares to speak his mind.

Who among us would dare to admit that we have colluded with so many monsters?
Good guy!
Not enough fox demons!

The leech spirit and the tree demon were also involved!
Are you some kind of humanoid succubus?

No, brother, wake up!
You are the eldest son of the most noble monastic family in human history!

Why don't you have any self-awareness at all?

Besides, do you trust us so much?

You're really not afraid that we'll tell others, right?

Or, if we agree, you will take us under your command and play with us, but if we don't agree, the Xiao family will be attacked by Fan Yunfei today, and except for those who agree with you, the rest will be killed by Fan Yunfei?
Xiao Wancheng thought about it.

In the end, I decided to trust Lin Chaoci.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Lin Chaoci dared to confront him.

Don’t worry about whether there is a killer move later.

First of all, this is a risky thing.

Lin Chaoci took the initiative to discuss the issue with him at the risk of his life.

Condescend to me.

If he refuses again.

All I can say is that he deserved to die.

Therefore, after hesitating for two or three seconds, Xiao Wancheng stood up, saluted Lin Chaoci, bowed his head and said: "From now on, the Xiao family will only follow the orders of Lord Baidi. Lord Baidi, please take the trouble to save the lives of more than a thousand people in the Xiao family at the dawn of this new era. Xiao Wancheng, the current head of the Xiao family, sincerely respects you!"
