Chapter 30: Mo Liu Su’s Simp

Zhou Tong gave the woman a strange look. In the past, he would have met her with a cold face and mocked Mo Liu Su without mercy. But after the Heavenly Dao fell silent, he felt tired of that game.

He answered in a flat voice: “I refuse.”

Mo Liu Su’s face filled with anger. Yet in Zhou Tong’s eyes, this only made things interesting. She was always high and distant, hard to approach. People praised her as noble as a snow lotus, untouched by the world, like an immortal maiden. But Zhou Tong knew this “immortal maiden” had a fierce temper. [Is she hitting menopause?]

Mo Liu Su let her aura leak as she said coldly: “I gave you a way to step down. You had better take it.”

Zhou Tong only sneered, then pulled a contract from his robe and asked: “Do you dare tear this up in front of me?”

People below squinted to see what it was and whispered: “It’s a Book of Severing Love and Righteousness, two copies, one for each side. It means all ties are cut and there will never be a reunion. If anyone breaks it, the Heavenly Dao will strike them with terrible backlash.”

Voices rose around the square as someone said: “Young Master Zhou was forced to sign that? Jade Purity Sect is really ruthless.”

Another person explained with a scoff: “How do you not know? That day caused a huge stir. The whole world saw it together.”

A third person added with a laugh: “Then Jade Purity Sect must regret it to death. Now they see Young Master Zhou’s worth and stare at him, hoping to win him back. What a joke.”

After the baptism of the Vital Wind, people had a great impression of Zhou Tong and could not help speaking for him.

Mo Liu Su hesitated. For any cultivator, punishment from the Heavenly Dao was a nightmare.

She tried to tempt him as she said: “You only need to suffer a little hardship and you can come back to me. You won’t even do that?”

The crowd’s worldview shattered. Many let out sounds of open disgust. This woman was that confident? Maybe ordinary people would chase after her, but Zhou Tong would not. With his skill, he would be welcomed anywhere as an honored guest, and he might not care for Jade Purity Sect at all.

Zhou Tong slipped the contract away and said coolly: “That’s enough. Stop pestering me.”

Mo Liu Su moved on instinct and pressed a hand to his shoulder as she warned: “Even when you make trouble, there should be a limit. If you really make me angry, can you afford it?”

Zhou Tong looked at her pretty face with a playful smile and asked: “Mo Liu Su, you’re clinging to me like this. Are you regretting it? Or did you fall for me?”

Mo Liu Su’s pupils shrank. Zhou Tong could clearly feel shame and anger boiling up inside her.

She snapped back with a snort as she said: “Nonsense. You think I would pine for you? You really think you’re worthy?”

Her aura flared. She had already decided that even if she had to use force today, she would drag Zhou Tong back. She would train him well and make him change his mind.

But she had miscalculated. Here, she did not have the right to do as she pleased.

Shang Guan Wu Hui stepped out to block her as he said in a deep voice: “Immortal Mo, this young brother saved me greatly. If you dare to force him, I will be the first to refuse.”

Mo Liu Su’s face changed. She could not provoke this person. She had to bow and say politely: “Senior, this disobedient disciple is quarreling with me. I am taking him back for strict discipline. Please do not interfere.”

Shang Guan Wu Hui cut her off without mercy as he said: “Didn’t you sever your ties? How can you still call it master and disciple? I also heard you forced him to cripple his cultivation. Do you know what kind of hatred that is to a cultivator?”

Mo Liu Su was struck speechless. To cripple someone’s cultivation was like killing their parents. It was a hatred that could not be shared under the same sky.

She lowered her eyes and muttered: “I didn’t think it through at the time… I will make it up to him.”

Zhou Tong stayed calm and said only: “No need.” Then he turned to Shang Guan Wu Hui and said evenly: “Sect Master Shangguan, let us return to Enforcement City. This kid has a request.”

Shang Guan Wu Hui laughed in a bold tone as he said: “You are my great benefactor. No need to be so formal. Don’t say one request, even ten or a hundred, I will not refuse.”

He took one step, the world flipped, and the two of them returned to Enforcement City. Others came back one after another, and Mo Liu Su followed as well.

Facing Luo Yi, Zhou Tong’s eyes turned cold as he said: “My Joyous Union Sect is here today for one thing: to make up the five hundred thousand merit points we owe. Luckily, the three-day deadline is not over. There is still half a quarter hour left, so we made it.”

Shang Guan Wu Hui nodded in understanding and declared: “I will pay the five hundred thousand merit points.”

Luo Yi’s face was hard to read. He knew he had offended Zhou Tong, and that was not a safe place to be. A normal person would lower his stance now and make peace with Zhou Tong. Maybe they could laugh it off.

But he was not normal. He targeted Joyous Union Sect this time because his white moonlight asked him to. As a senior simp, even if he had to break himself, he would help his goddess complete her task. Yes, his goddess was Mo Liu Su.

They had met once, and Luo Yi learned what love at first sight was. Over more than ten years, his feelings grew and grew. Now, he thought that dying for Mo Liu Su was not a big deal at all.

He sneaked a look at Mo Liu Su to ask for her opinion. As expected, she gave a small shake of her head. She insisted that he ruin Joyous Union Sect.

In an instant, Luo Yi became like a loyal dog who had received his master’s order. His eyes turned firm.

He faced the group and said coldly: “Sorry. Time is up. By the rules of the enforcers, Joyous Union Sect will be canceled. Go back.”

The little demoness scolded him in anger as she said: “Nonsense. There is still half a quarter hour left. Are you blind?”

Luo Yi’s eyes turned cold as he said: “Mind your language. If you dare disrespect me here, I will make you learn what regret is.”

Shang Guan Wu Hui stepped up with a hard gaze and asked: “Luo Yi, you are an enforcer. You are not enforcing the law fairly, and you are targeting someone on purpose. Are you not afraid the Chief Enforcer will learn of this?”

Luo Yi’s body shook a little, but he forced out a smile as he said: “Sect Master Shangguan, you may be a big-shot, but you are not qualified to point fingers at the enforcers. As for what the Chief Enforcer thinks, that is not your concern.”

Zhou Tong stepped forward and asked in a calm voice: “Are you sure you want to be my enemy? Think it through before you answer. You only get one chance.”

Luo Yi laughed, sat to the side, and sipped tea. He had already offended Shang Guan Wu Hui, so he was not afraid to offend one more Zhou Tong.

Time crawled by, and half a quarter hour passed in a blink.

From on high, Luo Yi looked down at Zhou Tong and said with pride: “Now it is truly overdue. I declare Joyous Union Sect void as of this moment.”

He enjoyed that feeling of deciding others’ fates with a single word. Watching a peerless genius look helpless made him feel wonderful.

But then Zhou Tong smiled, which made Luo Yi frown. Luo Yi barked an order as he said: “What are you laughing at? Go disband Joyous Union Sect. That is an order. If you defy it, you know the consequences.”

Zhou Tong answered with a chill in his voice as he said: “Joyous Union Sect will not disband. Your order is trash. It has no effect on me.”

Luo Yi slammed the table as he shouted: “So bold, to provoke the enforcers. You must be tired of living. Men, to me!”

No men arrived. Instead, a terrible pressure fell from the sky, and a calm voice rolled through the air as it said: “Today I want to see who exactly is tired of living.”

Luo Yi’s pupils shook hard. Zhou Tong stayed steady and looked relaxed. [That old monster of the enforcers has been watching from the dark for so long. He finally came out.]
