I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

Gao Heyun was personally in charge.

County Magistrate Wei Xianjun dared not slack off in the slightest and immediately sentenced Wang Po, the midwife, and Zhou Zhubu to be executed on the spot.

Furthermore, a memorial archway for chastity was erected in Qi Xinxiang's home, and a shrine for martyrs was built.

His deeds were written in the ancestral hall so that future generations could admire them.

Therefore, on the day of the funeral.

Many ordinary people came, and even prominent figures in Yong'an County, such as Gao Heyun and Magistrate Wei Xianjun, personally saw Qi Xinxiang off.

Cheng Laiyun stood in the field.

Looking at Qi Dazhuang kneeling in front of the grave, crying his heart out.

His face remained completely expressionless.

But in his heart, he had already given Qi Dazhuang a thumbs up.

You are the true acting genius!

Just as he was feeling sentimental, his peripheral vision drifted to another part of the field.

There stood many people who had volunteered to "send off" Qi Xinxiang.

Night was falling.

Qi Dazhuang's weeping at the grave ended.

The fields eventually returned to peace.

Cheng Laiyun got up and walked towards Qi Dazhuang, feigning grief as he comforted Qi Dazhuang on the shoulder.

A cold laugh rose in his heart.

Enough with this fake death act.

After waiting for two days, we can go to Qinglong Mountain. At that time, we will catch the culprit red-handed and the Tian family will surely be destroyed.

Without saying much, they returned to the funeral procession together.

Stepping onto the country road, Cheng Laiyun looked back expressionlessly.

In the direction his gaze fell, stood Gao Heyun, County Magistrate Wei Xianjun, and others...

"Alas, this has all been caused by my lax management of my subordinates; I am guilty..."

The head of the Tian family, the head of the agricultural department of Yong'an County, had red eyes as he gazed at Qi Xinxiang's tombstone, unwilling to leave for a long time.

Standing beside him were Wei Xianjun, Gao Heyun, and others.

Gao Heyun simply stared at him coldly.

Magistrate Wei Xianjun sighed:

"Let's go back, it's getting cold."

……

The candlelight flickered in the room.

Cheng Laiyun, Gao Heyun, Xu Jiayin, Qi Dazhuang, and Ling Ziyun are all here.

Several people were sitting together.

He looked at the girl lying on the bed.

Qi Xinxiang had regained her senses and had told everyone what had happened.

She was engaged to Tian Lingming, the eldest son of the Tian family.

They've known each other since childhood; you could say they're childhood sweethearts.

The decline of the Qi family occurred after she was twelve years old, and it did not affect their relationship.

Tian Lingming had repeatedly expressed his desire to marry her to his family as soon as possible.

However, the Tian family did not value this marriage and repeatedly declined Tian Lingming's proposal.

The two then secretly met in private.

Until recently, in order to show his determination to marry Qi Xinxiang, Tian Lingming even secretly took Qi Xinxiang to Qinglong Mountain to introduce her to the "secret" of his family.

But they happened to run into Cheng Laiyun, who was on his way home, in the mountains.

The three of them then traveled together.

Upon arriving at the destination, Tian Lingming made some excuses to let Cheng Laiyun go ahead first.

Cheng Laiyun had no suspicions and left directly.

Unfortunately, they got lost as they walked... and ended up back at the place where the three of them had parted ways.

Then he saw Tian Jiude, the head of the Tian family, who was furiously rebuking his eldest son, Tian Lingming…

I also heard things I shouldn't have heard.

Then, the Tian family became wary of the Spirit-Chasing Disc in Gao Heyun's possession, and they simply sought someone to erase Cheng Laiyun's memory.

And asked Qi Xinxiang to keep it a secret.

……

"Eliminating memories...what method did he use?"

As Qi Xinxiang got to this point.

Cheng Laiyun frowned and asked:

Is there any way to restore it?

Regardless, he still felt a little awkward about losing three days of his memory.

"I don't know." Qi Xinxiang stared blankly at the ceiling, her voice utterly exhausted.

"I only saw Tian Jiude knock you unconscious and take you into the cave, and then throw you out not long after."

"I see..." Cheng Laiyun cast an expectant glance at Gao Heyun, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Xu Jiayin beside him and asked:

"Senior Sister Xu, you are very knowledgeable. Do you know what methods the Tian family used?"

Xu Jiayin frowned slightly, then hesitated for a moment before saying uncertainly:

"I don't know much about this kind of magic either."

"It seems that after reaching the sixth rank in Confucianism, there's a Confucian method called 'A Wake-Up Call,' which can erase memories..."

"As for the rest... I don't know."

"Confucianism, Taoism, and Confucian cultivation? Sixth rank??" Although Cheng Laiyun had been in the world for quite some time and had even reached a certain rank, he still didn't understand the extraordinary system very well.

"In Yong'an County, the most accomplished Confucian scholar is none other than the current magistrate, Wei Xianjun."

"But he's only an eighth-rank Confucian cultivator... two whole major realms away from the sixth rank." Xu Jiayin's voice grew softer as she spoke.

A sixth-rank Confucian scholar.

No matter where you are, you are qualified to serve as an official in a prefecture!

Even in the capital, there are not many sixth-rank Confucian scholars.

How could he possibly stay in a mere Yong'an County and be at the beck and call of the Tian family?

Anyone can hear the absurdity in it.

"This..." Cheng Laiyun's heart sank.

This includes... the matter of a sixth-rank Confucian scholar??

Why does this vortex seem to be getting more and more confusing?

In the silence.

Gao Heyun spoke indifferently, gently stroking the scabbard before pulling it into her bosom:

"Besides Confucianism, I also know of a transcendent system that has techniques for altering memories."

"Oh?" Cheng Laiyun immediately looked up at Gao Heyun.

"Evil Court, Dream Weaver." When Gao Heyun mentioned these four words, a cold glint flashed in her phoenix eyes, seemingly revealing a hint of hatred...

"The Evil Court..." This was the second time Cheng Laiyun had heard the name of this organization.

Xu Jiayin mentioned it last time when they were solving the Xuanzhu case.

This time, it was Gao Heyun who made the suggestion.

Cheng Laiyun frowned and murmured softly:

"The Evil Court... the Xuanzhu Case... the Tian Family..."

He then cautiously raised his head, looking at Gao Heyun with curiosity in his eyes:

"What exactly is this Evil Court?"

"Well... it's a long story," Xu Jiayin suddenly interjected. "All you need to know is that everyone inside is crazy."

"Their goal is to destroy the Great Yuan Dynasty... and establish a nation without supernatural beings, only ordinary people, where everyone is equal..."

At this point, Xu Jiayin chuckled:

"Wishful thinking."

"Without extraordinary abilities, within three days, the human race will be reduced to food for the demon race and the barbarians."

Cheng Laiyun opened his mouth.

Why do I feel like the Evil Court's philosophy suits me better?

"If the Tian family is connected to the Evil Court, then it is indeed not advisable for us to return to the capital in the short term."

Gao Heyun's voice grew increasingly cold. Her pale hand gripped the scabbard tightly as she turned to look out the window, her tone somber:

"It's also a good opportunity to see what kind of cunning and ruthless creatures are lurking in this small Yong'an County."

These words were spoken.

Cheng Laiyun felt at ease.

He always felt a strange sense of security when he was with Gao Heyun.

"Okay then."

Suddenly, Ling Ziyun spoke up, stepping forward to grab Cheng Laiyun's wrist and looking at him with deep affection:

"Junior Brother Cheng."

"The Tian family's affairs will be handled by Supervisor Gao without any problems."

"From now on, all you need to do is focus on your cultivation."

"If you don't mind, I will personally teach you how to enter the path, shall I?"

"Get lost!" Xu Jiayin immediately bristled, darting between the two to shield Cheng Laiyun behind her, her eyes fixed on Ling Ziyun with a wary expression.

"Cheng Laiyun is mine!"

These words were spoken.

Everyone instinctively looked at Xu Jiayin.

They all showed expressions of shock.

"Cough cough."

Cheng Laiyun blushed with embarrassment.

Miss, your direct language... makes this old man so embarrassed!
