Where is the righteous fairy we were promised?

In the past, he himself would not have accepted Jiang Ning's gift.

But Cao Wukui would only turn a blind eye to his brothers and sisters under his command.

However, the Enforcement Hall is currently in a difficult situation, with a large number of people within the sect watching them.

If we accidentally give those people something to use against us, it might lead to new suppression.

Therefore, for the sake of everyone under his command, Cao Wukui had to step forward and play the villain.

"Our identities are special; if it's just for making friends, we can't just give them away for nothing."

"This will only have a negative impact on them."

"There can be no next time, understand?"

Jiang Ning outwardly agreed, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Senior Brother Cao is still the same.

He always takes care of all his brothers and sisters under his command in the manner of a "strict older brother".

But that's precisely why Senior Brother Cao died such a tragic death in the future...

Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he thought of Cao Wukui's ultimate fate.

During the two or three hundred years that Jiang Ning joined the Xun Dao Sect in his previous life.

Cao Wukui and others were among the few people who were genuinely good to him.

At that time, Jiang Ning was not well-liked within the sect because he had been defeated by Xiao Fan and his cultivation talent was not very good.

Xiao Fan, who also joined the Xundao Sect, was very successful in showing off and slapping people in the face every time.

Even if Xiao Fan himself provoked trouble and challenged others first.

But the onlookers seemed to have lost their minds.

They would only feel a deep sense of awe and respect for Xiao Fan.

This resulted in no one, except the victims, caring whether Xiao Fan was right or wrong.

They might even praise his performance afterwards.

Every instance of someone pretending to be weak to deceive others, only to be proven wrong in the end, accurately confirms that saying—

"People's joys and sorrows are not shared; onlookers only think the victims are making a fuss!"

Cao Wukui, however, was one of the few who used reason to look at the problem and felt that Xiao Fan had made a mistake.

Furthermore, Cao Wukui was one of the captains of the Heavenly Punishment Division within the sect.

Therefore, in each incident, Cao Wukui did not show favoritism in handling the matter.

Not only do they always speak up for the victims, but they also punish Xiao Fan according to the sect rules.

Despite the powerful protagonist aura, Xiao Fan always manages to stir up discontent among the onlookers.

Then he took the opportunity to ruin everyone's impression of Cao Wukui, and repeatedly escaped punishment because of this.

However, Cao Wukui's fair handling of the matter still made Xiao Fan resent him immensely.

In Xiao Fan's view, Cao Wukui was deliberately targeting him.

Everyone present was speaking up for him, but no one cared about the victim.

But Cao Wukui happened to act as an impartial enforcer of the law at this very moment.

They always followed the rules of the sect and pinned the blame on him.

In addition, Jiang Ning had been advising Cao Wukui in the Heavenly Punishment Division.

This resulted in Xiao Fan frequently suffering both overt and covert losses at Cao Wukui's hands.

Gradually, Xiao Fan's killing intent toward Cao Wukui and Jiang Ning reached its peak.

Until Jiang Ning was targeted too much by Xiao Fan's protagonist halo.

Unable to stay in the Follower Sect any longer, he completely betrayed the sect and fled.

Over the next few decades, Xiao Fan finally found an opportunity to take revenge!

That was a grotto-heaven where an ancient Nascent Soul expert perished.

The Xundao Sect sent people to explore, and Xiao Fan and Cao Wukui were among the participants "coincidentally".

Having broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, Xiao Fan used violence to seize command of the team this time.

Then he forced Cao Wukui, who had also just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, to be the first to explore the cave.

In reality, they were forcing him to go to the front lines as cannon fodder and die.

Cao Wukui, of course, would never go to his death and resolutely refused the offer.

Thus, Xiao Fan, who had originally planned to deal with Cao Wukui here, suddenly had an excuse to make his move.

The two sides engaged in a fierce and bloody battle.

With the protection of the Heavenly Dao's fortune, Xiao Fan escaped Cao Wu Kui's deadly attacks several times by "coincidence".

In just half a day, Cao Wukui died at Xiao Fan's hands!

To vent his anger, Xiao Fan tore Cao Wukui to pieces!

May he die a gruesome death, his soul annihilated, unable to be reborn!

It can be said that Cao Wukui's tragic end vividly illustrates the classic saying, "Good people don't get good rewards, but evil people live on for a thousand years."

However, in this life, Jiang Ning will not allow this scene to repeat itself!

"Captain Cao!"

Jiang Ning looked at Cao Wukui with a solemn expression and said seriously:

"Do you still remember Senior Ji Biqin?"

Upon hearing the name Jiang Ning uttered, Cao Wukui's usually calm and serious expression underwent a dramatic change.

"What did you say?!"

175 - On the verge of tears (Bonus chapter)

When Jiang Ning came out of the law enforcement hall.

A light drizzle has begun to fall from the sky.

The not-too-thick clouds obscured the originally bright sunlight.

It was only afternoon, yet the world was as dark as dusk.

Jiang Ning stood at the entrance of the Enforcement Hall and looked back.

The hall was empty, with noticeably fewer tables and chairs.

That was because Cao Wukui was too emotional and accidentally shook the surrounding tables and chairs into pieces.

Now, Cao Wukui has already left the city.

Although Cao Wukui did not believe Jiang Ning's words at first.

But Jiang Ning only said one sentence to Cao Wukui, and Cao Wukui believed him.

He said, "Where the heart leads, there is no need to ask where it is."

Cao Wukui was stunned for a long time after hearing this.

Because this is the phrase that he and Ji Biqin often say.

Whenever someone wanted to repay them for saving their lives after they had performed acts of chivalry,

Cao Wukui would then flick his long sleeves and let out a hearty laugh.

"Doing good deeds without asking for reward!"

Ji Biqin would also gracefully accept the challenge, her skirt fluttering.

"Where the heart leads, there is no need to ask which way is east or west."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and smiled, then walked away hand in hand with a flourish.

That was the happiest part of Cao Wukui's memory.

Back then, he loved to laugh.

Or rather, both he and Ji Biqin are people who love to laugh.

Cao Wukui disliked people who always had a stern face, as if they were suffering from a deep grudge.

At that time, he believed that there was no hurdle in life that could not be overcome.

As long as Ji Biqin is by his side, no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles, they can overcome them together!

Why put on such a serious and unsmiling demeanor, which only creates a sense of distance?

But now, Cao Wukui has become the person he hated the most.

He remained as upright and incorruptible as ever, hating evil as if it were his enemy.

However, the woman who always smiled with him was no longer by his side.

Jiang Ning still vividly remembers the moment he heard Ji Biqin say that she knew she had no way out and had returned to the foot of Cangwu Mountain to await her death...

Cao Wukui's face, which had always been solemn and serious since they met in Jiangning, was now filled with sorrow, and tears streamed down his face.

Jiang Ning had never seen Cao Wukui so vulnerable.

It was as if the pillar in my heart had collapsed at that moment.

Jiang Ning didn't even know whether telling Cao Wukui the truth was a good thing or a bad thing.

He just didn't want Cao Wukui to be like he was in his previous life.

He never knew until his death that his beloved had been killed by the five major immortal sects.

There was no one to even collect his body; it lay exposed in the mountains, never to be reborn.

However, Cao Wukui quickly proved with his actions that he was right.
