Chapter 164: The Truth in Changyuan Town

They only knew that the person was still somewhere in Changyuan Town, but they weren’t sure exactly where in Changyuan Town he had moved to.

Who knew how long it would take to find him?

Changyuan Town wasn’t particularly big, but it wasn’t small either, there were at least a thousand people living there.

"And you’re still talking!"

Bai He pouted. "Second Senior Brother, don’t take your frustration out on me just because things aren’t going your way. If you’ve got the guts, go find Sister Yao Guang."

When he heard that name, Dan Zhu’s expression froze slightly.

"You’re not allowed to look for her again."

"Why?"

"There aren’t that many ’whys.’ And you’re especially not allowed to use my name to ask for favors. Otherwise, you can repay those debts yourself, don’t expect me to do it for you."

Dan Zhu was unusually serious about this matter.

"Got it."

Bai He followed behind feeling utterly bored.

Suddenly, he thought he saw something and instinctively turned his head, but then realized there was nothing there.

"Master, what is it?"

Bai He pointed in a direction. "I think I saw a disciple from the Lingguang Sect."

That clothing, it was definitely the uniform of a Lingguang Sect disciple.

There was no mistake.

Dan Zhu was also a bit curious. "I haven’t heard of any disciples being sent here."

"Look, is it..." At that moment, a man wearing clothing identical to the Lingguang Sect disciple uniform walked out of a shop.

This wasn’t just similar, it was almost exactly the same.

Dan Zhu quickly stepped forward.

The disciple looked unfamiliar and he didn’t seem to have any aptitude for cultivation.

So where did this uniform come from?

Dan Zhu felt that it must be connected to Li Changshou in some way.

Seeing someone block his path, the man showed an annoyed expression.

"Who are you people? Move aside, don’t block the way."

"Where did you get those clothes?"

The arrogant man naturally had no intention of answering Dan Zhu’s question.

Seeing that Dan Zhu refused to move, he rolled up his sleeves and threw a punch straight at him.

Bai He grabbed Ye Shiyuan’s arm and staring at him without blinking.

Wow... how bold.

To actually throw a punch at Dan Zhu whose strength in the Lingguang Sect was second only to his own master and who could even rival the sect leader.

Sure enough, that punch never landed.

Dan Zhu blocked it with ease.

"I’m asking you, where did you get these clothes? Did someone give them to you, or did you steal them?"

If they were stolen, then that would be a different matter entirely.

Perhaps Dan Zhu’s grip was a bit too strong, because the man’s expression immediately changed.

"Ow, ow, ow... it hurts..."

"Speak. If you don’t, you can forget about keeping that hand."

"I—I stole them."

The man finally confessed and Dan Zhu released his grip.

In truth, he had only been trying to scare him, this man clearly wasn’t someone who could be reasoned with calmly.

For dealing with someone like this, naturally only harsh methods would make him obedient.

"Where did you steal it from? Take us there."

The man glanced at Dan Zhu and he was clearly intimidated by him.

Thinking back to what had just happened, fear rose in his heart, and he had no choice but to lead the way.

Bai He and Ye Shiyuan followed behind the whole time.

Finally, they arrived.

This should be Li Changshou’s current home.

After reaching the destination, Dan Zhu finally let the man go.

Ye Shiyuan hurried forward and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly.

The one who answered was a man whose face Ye Shiyuan could never forget, it was exactly the same as the "Li Changshou" who had died.

"Changshou?" Ye Shiyuan called out the name instinctively.

The man, however, looked panicked and immediately tried to shut the door.

But Dan Zhu merely waved his hand lightly and the door immediately swung wide open.

"Second Elder..."

"Li Changshou, you’ve got quite the nerve. Were you expelled from the Lingguang Sect, or were you allowed to leave? And yet you dare to return without a word?"

This was a direct violation of the Lingguang Sect’s rules.

Even if Dan Zhu were to execute Li Changshou on the spot, no one would dare say anything.

"Second Elder, I know I was wrong. Please, give me another chance."

"Don’t worry. I won’t take your life for now. There are still many things that haven’t been investigated clearly."

Li Changshou’s expression was dazed.

He likely never imagined that things would be exposed so quickly.

"Yes, Second Elder."

Li Changshou did not invite them into the house.

Inside was his elderly mother.

Li Changshou was still filial at heart and did not want his mother to worry about him.

Fortunately, Dan Zhu was reasonable and did not insist on entering and disturbing them.

Li Changshou then led them to the only pavilion in Changyuan Town.

Although the place is somewhat worn down, it was quiet and free of other people.

It was a suitable place to talk.

Ye Shiyuan found a clean spot for Bai He to sit, while the others didn’t seem to mind such details.

They watched as Li Changshou knelt on the ground and explained everything from beginning to end.

It turned out that Li Changshou’s younger brother Li Changyu had come to find him.

Their mother at home was gravely ill and he wanted Li Changshou to help.

Worried about his mother, Li Changshou decided to return.

However, cultivation sects had their own strict rules.

Especially for disciples who had already been in the sect for many years, once they chose the path of cultivation, their family ties were considered severed.

Their hearts were no longer meant to belong to their families, but to the greater world.

Even if LobChangshou had begged Yao Xiangli, aside from scolding him, he likely wouldn’t have agreed.
