Tang Changsheng admired the motto of the Three Families of Xiajiang: "Rules are rules!" "Get up. You did nothing wrong. You hadn't returned to the sect yet," Tang Changsheng said with a faint smile.

More importantly, he still had a use for Da Xiang!

Da Xiang's face remained stiff. "Yes!"

He stood, but he understood Tang Changsheng's unspoken meaning perfectly.

What you did before returning to the sect was beyond my authority. But now that you're back, you must follow the rules. Break them, and...

With that, the matter was put to rest. Da Xiang let out a quiet breath, feeling much more at ease...

He was already convinced that returning to the General's Temple had been a wise move. Life there would not be too difficult from now on.

After all, Tang Changsheng was a sufficiently fair sect leader...

It was no good when those in power were as unpredictable as heaven's wrath. You could never tell what you were allowed to do and what you were not.

But when those in power were fair and followed the rules, all you had to do was follow them too...

"What's the story behind Ling Xiaoyu's necklace?" Tang Changsheng asked.

"Necklace?" At the mention of it, Da Xiang's expression shifted slightly.

"It doesn't seem to be from the Central Land. It probably came from the West..." Tang Changsheng rubbed his chin. He knew little about things from another system of cultivation. "Where did you get it, Da Xiang?"

"And why did you go after Ling Xiaoyu in the first place?" Tang Changsheng asked with interest.

At those two questions, Da Xiang's face froze and his heart lurched. He had some inkling of Tang Changsheng's relationship with Ling Xiaoyu.

Damn it... What rotten luck...
