Mushroom Man

Chapter 13: A Gentleman Defiles Himself, Silencing the World

"Master Wen, you..."

When Wu Liang heard this, he immediately looked unhappy and opened his mouth to speak.

However, before he could finish his words, Master Wen took out a mushroom.

This mushroom is golden all over and slowly emits a soft light.

"Is this... a fourth-level penance mushroom?"

"It seems that Abbot Shanren thinks highly of the nun, and even gave her this mushroom."

Chief Wu stood aside, a look of displeasure on his face.

Nun Wen used such a method to test the conscience of the Wu family members in front of him, the patriarch, and it was obvious that she did not take him seriously.

"Clan leader Wu, the abbot has issued an ultimatum to me. I must retrieve Sekong at all costs."

"I was forced to resort to this desperate measure. I was ordered to use the Confession Mushroom to thoroughly investigate all suspicious individuals."

"If I have offended you, I hope that Chief Wu will forgive me..."

Nun Wen seemed to have noticed the displeasure on Clan Leader Wu's face and immediately spoke in a calm tone.

At all costs?
Chief Wu frowned slightly, as if he heard a hint of threat.

He didn't say anything else, just watched the scene in front of him silently.

As the repentance mushroom was activated, an indescribable feeling of regret instantly filled Wu Liang's heart.

When he was young, he bullied his deskmate and when he was a teenager, he skipped classes to surf the Internet.

After arriving in this world, facing my uncle and aunt who had run out of money, I secretly added some snacks to their meals...

All the trivial matters turned into regrets and swept through his mind.

"Wu Liang, you harbored resentment because your sister was humiliated, and you imprisoned Sekong, committing a grave offense. Do you acknowledge your guilt?"

Nun Wen spoke in a cold voice, taking the opportunity to interrogate Wu Liang.

"I……"

Wu Liang was in a daze and subconsciously wanted to confess.

But at this moment...

"See hand green."

At the last moment, he used his remaining consciousness to attract the immortal mushroom to see the green hand.

In an instant, an indescribable breath instantly washed away the regret in Wu Liang's heart.

Why should I repent for that lewd monk?

Weiyang died because of that lewd monk. I imprisoned him just to avenge my younger sister. What crime have I committed?
Wu Liang regained his composure and hesitated to speak.

The confession that was on the tip of his tongue suddenly changed.

"I did not imprison the void, but I confess that I am guilty..."

"If I hadn't forced Weiyang to go to the river to wash clothes that day in preparation for the Pudu Dharma Assembly, perhaps she wouldn't have encountered the lecherous monk."

"I'm incompetent and can't seek justice for my sister. It's all my fault..."

Upon hearing this, Master Wen snorted coldly.

She didn't give up, but instead pulled back the covers on the bed.

At this moment, the bruised and battered appearance of her "sister" was exposed.

Wu Liang's heart sank, but he still pretended to be in pain as if he was being affected by the confession mushroom.

Nun Wen's eyes were like torches, and she spoke in a cold voice, "Since you keep saying that you want justice for your sister and punish the lecherous monk severely."

"But why did you abuse her so much in private?"

"Hiss!" Chief Wu, who had been watching silently, couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.

He really didn't expect that Wu Liang was such a secretive guy.

He originally thought that this kid was just an unlucky guy who was innocently implicated because Sekong disappeared and he happened to have a grudge against Sekong.

Now that I see it this way, I know that we can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. I'm afraid this kid is not a good person either.

He pretends to be affectionate on the surface, but in private he is actually a bastard who bullies his own sister!
"I just used mushrooms to check the woman's physical condition. She is clearly not sick."

"This woman is still in a coma because you gave her a large amount of coma-inducing herbs." "Her body is now riddled with wounds, and the poison has taken its toll on her heart. She won't live long."

"Wu Liang, what else do you have to say?"

Nun Wen raised her eyebrows and spoke in a stern voice, looking a bit like Nun Miejue.

Wu Liang's thoughts were working hard and a look of panic appeared on his face.

He trembled all over, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, confessing repeatedly.

"I, I was just confused for a moment, I didn't mean to kill her!"

Wu Liang thought quickly and made up a story that was even more absurd and beastly than the story of the lecherous monk Sekong.

In this story, because of his low power and status, he did not dare to retaliate against Monk Sekong, the son of the abbot.

He attributed all the ugly things that had happened to his sister's lack of self-discipline, which had provoked Monk Sekong.

As a result, his brother was implicated and was also ridiculed by other tribesmen.

So, Wu Liang vented all his resentment on his sister.

Only in this way can his ugly heart be slightly satisfied.

However, this is not the end!

Wu Liang was so cruel that he even thought of relying on his sister to gain sympathy in exchange for benefits.

He swindled small change from his uncle and aunt, falsely claiming it was for his sister's medical treatment, but actually used it to buy a large amount of herbs that could cause people to become unconscious.

He wanted to use this to pretend that his sister had been seriously ill and bedridden in a coma because of Sekong.

In this way, he could use this as a bargaining chip to demand an explanation from the Songzi Temple and extract benefits...

"What a beast in human form!"

Nun Wen's face was cold and she snorted coldly.

She looked at Wu Liang, whose face was full of fear and regret, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Patriarch Wu, your Wu family is truly full of talented people."

"This is your family affair, I can't interfere, so just take care of it..."

After Master Wen finished speaking, she put away the confession mushroom, waved her monk robe, and turned to leave.

For a moment, only Chief Wu was left standing there with a gloomy face.

He glanced at Wu Liang, who was still slumped on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, okay..."

"You have completely ruined my reputation."

"To murder my own sister and deceive the clan leader, these crimes are unforgivable."

"Tomorrow you will go to the ancestral hall and receive three hundred lashes. You must not make any mistakes."

"Chief, I..." Wu Liang seemed to have just woken up from his confession, his face was pale and he opened his mouth to speak.

Three hundred lashes!

This is going to beat him to death!
However, Chief Wu did not give him another chance to speak. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Only at this moment did Wu Liang, who had been frightened, regain his composure.

"Ah……"

"At least there was no danger, and we managed to get away with it for now."

"After this, even if I'm not beaten to death, I'm afraid I'll become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating me."

Wu Liang laughed bitterly and didn't care at all.

For him, as long as he can temporarily clear himself of suspicion, a little fame is not worth mentioning.

A gentleman defiles himself just to blend in with the world.

He looked at his 'sister' lying on the bed, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"If we delay, something will happen. We can't put it off any longer."

"If we allow Master Wen to continue investigating, I'm afraid it won't be long before the truth is completely exposed."

"It seems like it's time to deal with you, this future trouble, in advance..."
