Chapter 17: You Are the Ally of Justice! (1)
The Elder Martial Brother’s surname is Zhao.
His full name is Zhao Haiya, which means “there is no end to learning.”
As soon as Zhao Haiya arrived at the shop, all the drinkers smiled at him, and some shouted, “Brother Zhao, did you go looking for evil Demon Sect members again today?”
Instead of answering, he approached the counter and said, “First, bring me a pot of wine.”
Zhao Haiya slowly returned to the table after the innkeeper’s acknowledgment.
He had a genial smile on his face.
Even when teased, he didn’t get angry, but gently asked those around him what had happened.
When he heard that the evil leader of the Youming Ghost Sect had been killed, he took a sip of wine and shouted:
“Good!”
“Haha, Brother Zhao is truly full of righteousness!”
“Brother Zhao is powerful!”
The people around immediately burst into laughter.
Zhao Haiya had said he came to hunt down disciples of the Demon Sect when he first arrived in Huyang Town.
But no one gave him any information.
Whether they really didn’t know, or they didn’t dare to say, no one could tell.
In short, Zhao Haiya stayed in Huyang Town.
This stay would last for two months.
Zhao Haiya was very generous and liked to listen to others talk. The diners at the restaurant had a good impression of him.
“No wonder Xia Qingqing trusts him so much.”
Bai Lian nodded quietly.
Elder Martial Brother Zhao was also a jack of all trades.
She was interested in Zhao Haiya.
[The Demon Sect]
Zhao Haiya might have the information she wanted.
However, Bai Lian didn’t reveal herself hastily. She was currently in disguise. After all, she had come here to help Third Martial Sister find the fragment of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl, and wanted to keep it secret.
Bai Lian followed Zhao Haiya after he left the restaurant.
“Martial Brother Zhao, how are you and Miss Xia?”
Zhao Haiya stopped at the roadside.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, “Fairy Bai Lian!”
His eyes fell on Su Youwei.
This face was as unfamiliar as Bai Lian’s to him, but by the color of her hair alone, he could understand.
“You must be Fairy Bai Lian’s Martial Sister, Miss Su!”
“…”
Su Youwei was not in a very good mood.
He had treated them differently.
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was “Fairy Bai Lian,” while she was just “Miss Su.”
Zhao Haiya didn’t notice Su Youwei’s displeasure. He came over with a laugh and didn’t forget to roll up his sleeves.
Bai Lian took a closer look.
Ooh!
Zhao Haiya had written the character “正” on both his left and right forearms.
No, no!
A bad feeling suddenly rose in her mind.
Zhao Haiya smiled shyly and said, “Fairy Bai Lian, please don’t laugh at me!”
He spoke of the past.
Last year, Bai Lian had saved Xia Qingqing from the mire.
Her [Words and deeds of a Natural Saint] had left a deep impression on Xia Qingqing’s heart!
After returning to the Tianji sect, Xia Qingqing changed her wayward image and became a firm supporter of Bai Lian.
She had indoctrinated Zhao Haiya with the strange idea that “Only Bai Lian is good in this world.”
Additionally, as Bai Lian’s reputation had risen higher and higher over the past year, Zhao Haiya had also become an admirer of Bai Lian.
One day, while Xia Qingqing was explaining the “Doctrine of Bai Lian” to Zhao Haiya, she talked about the character “正” (Righteousness) that she most yearned for.
“Bai Lian wrote two ‘正’ characters on her younger Martial Sister’s wrist, saying that she wanted to promote the spirit of righteousness!”
Xia Qingqing shook her head and sighed.
She couldn’t do it.
She didn’t get the “正” character. What she got was just a “傻” (stupid). Of course, it was unnecessary to tell Elder Martial Brother Zhao about such a small matter.
Xia Qingqing’s admiring words made Zhao Haiya realize at that time—
Fairy Bai Lian must have wanted to tell her that justice is with you!
What encouraging words they were.
Zhao Haiya was deeply moved when he thought about the good deeds Bai Lian had performed.
Fairy Bai Lian was the light of justice!
“I’ve made up my mind that every time I destroy a demon sect, I will add a ‘正’ to my hands. When I’m old, if the ‘正’ characters have filled my arms, then I’ll know my life was worthwhile!”
Zhao Haiya sighed repeatedly.
He clenched his fists and looked at the setting sun. He seemed to be covered in Holy Light.
Eleven “正” characters meant that he had destroyed eleven Demon Sects so far, which was far from his goal of filling his arms with “正” characters.
Because of this, Zhao Haiya was a little worried.
His cultivation base had been in the Nascent Soul Stage for a long time. If he couldn’t break through, how would he deal with those powerful Demon Sects?
“…”
Bai Lian’s eyelids twitched wildly, and she was speechless.
To be honest, Zhao Haiya’s life credo was quite admirable, and there were few people like him in the whole world.
“My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror. Everything I do belongs to justice.”
What is a true “Ally of justice”? He is!
Bai Lian felt ashamed.
In this respect, she must call Zhao Haiya a master!
What made her even more ashamed was that the “正” characters she had written on the Third Martial Sister’s wrist had nothing to do with “Justice.”
It was simply because the Third Younger Martial Sister was confused and wavered between revenge and safeguarding at that time. She had hoped to tell the Third Younger Martial Sister “You don’t have to be afraid, because I’m here.”
Zhao Haiya’s words reminded Su Youwei of the night she first met Bai Lian.
“正”
The vigorous and powerful “正” character.
She held out her hand and stared blankly.
She had never forgotten the word drawn on it.
