Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

58- Four Pillars' Resonance

Yet, Lin Runru thought it was rather interesting. He scrutinised Lin Xuanzhi’s face, then said, “Since there was no quarrel, to be infuriated to the point of murder based solely on a mere few words uttered by the other party — doesn’t that imply your Dao heart is a bit too unstable.”

“Indeed.” Lin Xuanzhi honestly admitted, then said, “Master1 has keen insight, Xuanzhi’s Dao heart is unstable and naturally wouldn’t be able to escape the eyes of Master. But that person obviously knew that Xuanzhi had been in low spirits ever since I was injured, so much so that my Dao heart was unstable and I was feeling dispirited, yet he still provoked me on purpose and even humiliated Jiadi. Wasn’t he just trying to bring trouble upon himself?”

“Nonsense!” w.a.n.g Wu’s wife immediately pointed her finger at Lin Xuanzhi, then shrieked, “My husband had just seen a carriage stop in front of the main entrance and asked the people on the carriage to enter from the side door, yet you killed him just because of that! He didn’t say anything to humiliate you!”

“Yes, my son had always been very respectful towards everyone in the Lin family. He had never badmouthed the Lins in front of his folks back home; whatever claims you make about him requires evidence!” w.a.n.g Wu’s mother immediately continued.

Evidence?

Lin Xuanzhi thought about the mirror that he had already handed over to Lin Zhantian. He raised his head and looked towards the main seat; he saw Madam Bai’s glamorous face reveal a confident smile, then looked at the Lin Zhantian who stood beside her who avoided his gaze. Lin Xuanzhi thus knew that the Recorder Mirror that had recorded what happened that day should have already been destroyed.

The evidence was gone, but, Lin Xuanzhi wasn’t the least bit fl.u.s.tered.

“If I can’t hand over any evidence, how do you think I should be punished?” Lin Xuanzhi’s lips curved up as he asked coldly.

Fifth elder looked at the people beside him and said, “How do you guys think he should be dealt with?”

Madam Bai stood up, then said to fifth elder, “Head, w.a.n.g Wu was handpicked by Nujia2 to be Lin family’s doorman, yet he lost his life just because Lin Xuanzhi had lost his temper. Nujia is thinking, why not hand Lin Xuanzhi over to Nujia so that I can discipline him properly; it would prevent others from saying that our Lin family’s people don’t know how to follow rules.”

Third elder squinted his long and narrow eyes, then said, “But I think that since Lin Xuanzhi had brought dishonour upon our family’s principles, according to our rules, he should be thrown into the Ice Prison and face its walls to reflect upon his actions for 8 to 10 years before releasing him.”

“That’s reasonable.” Lin Ruhai nodded as well, then said, “I’ve heard that Lin Xuanzhi nephew had been utterly defeated by many at the Tyrant Martial Hall recently, and that his escapades at the hall is well-known by many. He had even thrown away at least 10 000 gold into that martial hall — isn’t that a bit too much of him.”

The one who sat at the rightmost seat was the law enforcement hall’s hall master, Lin Zhantian’s father Lin Bubai. He also furrowed his brows and said, “I have indeed heard of Lin Xuanzhi’s infamy outside our doors, his discipline is really lacking.”

Madam Bai sighed, then lamented, “Ever since second brother’s horrible death, there had been no one around who would discipline Xuanzhi. Xuanzhi doesn’t have a mother either, and he’s so young, plus he had suffered a huge blow after he turned into a good-for-nothing, so naturally he would trod onto the wrong path. As his Aunt, I naturally have the responsibility to discipline and take care of him.”
