Divine retribution 1002

ound him, led him along. He asked in terror, "What do you want to...young hero...what are you trying to do...""What's wrong Didn't you say the money was in here Just give it to me." My brother pushed...Is there someone suspicious in my house

"You're kidding, right… haha. Almost everyone in our family has been living in this house for twenty years, including your senior brother and senior sister. They grew up here; they couldn't possibly be spies... None of us even knew what a Dragon King was before." I said with a smile.

Yan Qin, the master, raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Yinluo, you are the jewel of your family. It's normal that you don't understand many things outside... Do you know what all your senior brothers and sisters do outside"

“I’m not sure, I only know that my senior brothers and sisters are all working to make money for their families.” I scratched my head.

"Master Yan Qin smiled: "You are truly fortunate. In fact, I've been observing you this whole time—"

"I know, Master Yunfan left you here to see if there were any traitors in my family." I nodded.

“Well, I hope you don't mind. We didn't mean any harm. We're just worried that someone might take advantage of the people around you... After all, your family is big and you guys are very close-knit. You've been together for many years and have deep feelings for each other. But everyone is a member of society with their own social lives. I mainly just want to check out the people who have come into contact with your family and see what their backgrounds are.”

Teacher Yan Qin might be afraid I would get angry, so she patiently comforted and explained.

Actually, I've never paid attention to my senior brothers and sisters' social media updates because they are all older than me and have their own things to do outside.

They spent most of their time on medicine, study, managing industries, and household affairs. Even when they had private social engagements, there were very few.

Have a look at the cars in my garage, each one is like new. You can tell they are rarely driven outside.

"At first, I was also doubtful. According to the relationships between your siblings and sisters, no one should do something that would harm their family... Later, I found some suspicious activities, so I asked people to investigate further, and discovered..."

Yan Qin's master hadn't finished speaking when he was suddenly interrupted.

My eldest sister stood at the entrance of the moon cave in the distance and shouted at me, “You lazy girl finally woke up, still chatting here Go report to Master and Senior Brother first! I see that you went out to hone yourself and didn't make any progress! You can’t even tell priorities!”

This is my older sister, Du Ruo. She manages our family's traditional Chinese medicinal cuisine restaurant. My older sister is also a female boss, she interacts with dignitaries and celebrities all day long, her aura is very strong.

"Master Yan Qin quickly said to me, 'That's right, you see, I'm so forgetful after being pregnant for three years. I completely forgot to let you go and greet the elders and older brothers first. Little Yin Luo, please go now, we can chat later.'"

I scratched my head, feeling a little out of control.

"Then I'll go first, Shifu Yan Qin, be careful not to catch a cold."

The eldest sister stood at the entrance of the moon cave waiting for me. Her surname was Du, and my father named her "Du Ruo" after the lines, “A man dwelling in the mountains, fragrant like osmanthus; drinking from stone springs, sheltered by pine trees.”

Master Du Ruo is in her early thirties. She's outgoing and strong-willed, very protective of her family. Though she can be quite nagging when she scolds me...

"Little junior sister, is your wound healed" Senior Sister walked beside me and asked.

"I'm fine, just my nail is hurt, it'll grow back in a while... Senior Sister, have any strange people visited our house recently"

As I thought about Master Yan Qin's unfinished words just now, some doubts arose in my mind.

With so many people in our household, it's possible that the Dragon King's subordinates tricked them into revealing our whereabouts.

“Every day there are strange people… coming to our family, aren't they all strange If they weren't strange, they wouldn't come to the door with a handful of money to ask for medical advice.” Du Ruoshi glanced at me: “When you meet Junior Brother Jun later, don't say how much you've suffered, unless you don't want to go out ever again.”

I pulled my neck back: "I think Senior Brother Jun is about to reach his limit..."

“You know just fine, we’re all very busy. Whenever there's any commotion with you, we have to drop everything and rush over. When we heard that you were kidnapped in Macau this time, we didn’t dare sleep a wink all night. We even booked tickets for the next day. Thankfully, Lin Yan calmed us down and told us not to panic...Fortunately, you came back quickly, so nothing major happened.”

The eldest sister spoke very quickly. To avoid her speed, I quickly ran to my father's study.

Just as I ran to the door of the study, I heard my young mistress's panicked voice coming from inside.

"How could this be!" Mu Xiaoqiao's voice was filled with disbelief.

I halted my steps, pausing at the threshold to eavesdrop.

The atmosphere in this study was a little off. I reached out and touched the doorknob, but it felt cold and different from usual.

The original wood was warm and moist, and as an old house spanning many years, it felt the touch of time when touched.

Now it feels freezing, like this house isn't familiar anymore. Has some kind of barrier been placed around us this week

"Has Mu Wanchen gone back already" Mu Xia Qiao asked in a low voice.

"Hmm."

This voice, it's the master!

Master is actually at my house Is he here to look for his junior wife

How could they be discussing matters in my father's study Where did my father go

Before I could think much about it, my master let out a soft sigh. At that moment, I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine—he seemed to know I was outside.

"...The spell of shifting stars and changing constellations, even if understood by immortal gods, wouldn't be easily cast. This is a spell that touches upon the 'rules'. Those old men in the Nine Heavens wouldn't just sit idly by, would they" Master's tone was very calm.

I was stunned—this spell couldn't be used

Will using it violate the "rules"

“This, this is so serious” Mu Xia Qiao asked anxiously, “Isn’t this just a spell How could it violate the rules”

Master fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Xiao Qiao... Time is the most sensitive core of all three realms. Whether it be gods, immortals, ghosts, demons or monsters, time affects them all equally."

"Heaven and Earth are uncaring, treating all things as mere fodder for dogs. For thousands upon thousands of years, the turning of stars is a fixed and untouchable law."

The Dragon King and that old monster hiding in another world both wanted to capture Yin Luo. They both liked gloomy, dark times and spaces, so Mu Wanchen used the technique of shifting stars to shorten the time until dawn and make moonlight flow, weakening the qi of darkness.

"But this touches the law, and there will be wrath from heaven, punishment from the gods."

I widened my eyes, divine punishment Could it be punishing Mu Wanchen

"...Those celestial deities and gods don't care about the affairs of the Witch Clan, do they Why would they suddenly—" Mu Xia Qiao stamped her foot anxiously.

“Perhaps, I’m just waiting for an opportunity to intervene. I’ve already had the Black and White Impermanence lead Mu Wanchen across the Yellow Springs Road and left a backdoor.”

Left behind, I was stunned. What the heck just happened!s because Buddhist rules and precepts are strict. While Taoism appears to be understated, what ordinary people come into contact with most is still Taoist philosophy.Practices of health preservation,...
