Chapter 1084: Chapter 506: Her Shadow Everywhere (First Update, Requesting Monthly Ticket)

It wasn’t long before Miss Tang was bailed out by her own lawyer.

Her lawyer was a chubby middle-aged white man, with a kindly face, always sweating profusely; his face was shiny with grease, and when the sun hit him, he turned as red as a freshly pan-fried salmon fillet.

Now he was standing at the gate of Miss Tang’s house, dabbing at the sweat on his forehead with a tissue over and over, saying helplessly, "Lilith, why didn’t you go see your therapist again? Your psychological issues are getting more and more serious. If this continues, and the other side petitions the court to have you committed, you’ll be sent to a mental hospital and locked up."

Miss Tang lowered her head and let out a few noncommittal hums. After a long moment, she raised her head and said in annoyance, "I don’t even know what’s going on. It’s like someone grabbed my hand and forced me to chase people and beat them up. And when I speak, it’s not what I actually want to say at all. I’m just as helpless as anyone."

Her lawyer asked with concern, "You should still go see a therapist. Take some medication; your condition will improve a bit. If it still doesn’t, then go to church and pray. The Lord will protect you."

One could tell at a glance that the lawyer was a devout Christian.

Miss Tang nodded. "I will, Attorney Richard. Thank you, and sorry for all the trouble."

"It’s nothing; this is my job," Attorney Richard said with another smile, cheerfully adding, "I know you’re not short of money, but this kind of money is not something I want to make too much of."

"You’re a good man." Miss Tang shook his hand, then turned around, pushed open the white picket gate, and walked inside.

Attorney Richard looked at the well-maintained French country villa and let out a heavy sigh.

Some people live in mansions like this and still blame the heavens and others, riddled with psychological problems.

Yet there are those who toil away all day long and can only earn a meager wage, a whole family crammed into a tiny one-bedroom apartment.

Sigh...

Attorney Richard shook his head with a sigh of emotion, then left the Melany Community.

He was actually a public-interest lawyer, often representing vulnerable groups pro bono.

When Miss Tang came to him, wanting him to be her family lawyer, Richard was very surprised and even worried he wouldn’t be up to the task.

But later, he discovered that this young woman was actually quite kind-hearted.

Having him as her lawyer was practically like handing him money for free...

Yet for all that, this good girl seemed to have some emotional hurdle she simply couldn’t get over.

Richard didn’t know what that hurdle was, but he knew Miss Tang had psychological problems.

And by now, her psychological issues had grown increasingly severe, to the point of becoming a full-blown mental illness.

If this went on, he worried that one day Miss Tang really would be sent to a mental hospital and locked up as a critical case...

...

Lawrence Winters returned to her room that night. After showering, she sat cross-legged on the sofa in her loungewear, watching the recorded livestream footage over and over again.

When Miss Tang caused that big scene at the Fortunate Gate Restaurant, their drone had actually captured it all as well.

This part of the footage hadn’t been broadcast live, though, because it involved too many unrelated bystanders.

If they had streamed it, it would most likely have amounted to a very serious invasion of privacy.

So this segment was only shown to the judges and contestants.

And over the past few years, the Celestial Path Sect competition had always contained plenty of content that wasn’t made public, only shown to a select few and the judges.

As she watched Miss Tang’s behavior and words, Lawrence kept thinking about the content related to the "Great Dream of Three Lives."

Yes, the Celestial Path Sect did indeed have this Secret Technique, but it was only effective on "异类" (supernatural beings).

Put bluntly, it used to be a Celestial Path Skill for experts of the sect to capture demons without drawing a blade or spilling blood.

Any method that could achieve its goal "without drawing a blade or spilling blood" was in no way less difficult than one that did.

So within the Celestial Path Sect, those who could truly use the "Great Dream of Three Lives" Celestial Path Skill, over the course of a thousand years, amounted only to the first-generation Female Heavenly Master of the Celestial Master Sect, Amelia West, who had once used this method to "subdue demons and exorcise evil" during an era of chaos.

However, Lawrence had only read records about these events in the Celestial Path Sect’s texts. She had never seen anyone in real life use the "Great Dream of Three Lives" to catch demons.

She kept pondering whether Miss Tang’s extreme reaction to the "Great Dream of Three Lives" was because Miss Tang herself was an "异类," or because... Mr. Zhuge’s "Great Dream of Three Lives" wasn’t actually the Celestial Path Sect’s true ’Great Dream of Three Lives’?

If it could have all sorts of effects on humans as well, then the side effects were a bit too strong.

Lawrence sent a WeChat message to Nick Zeller, asking him to scan and send over the materials related to the "Great Dream of Three Lives" Celestial Path Skill.

It happened to be daytime in China, so Nick saw the message quickly.

He immediately went to find the old Daoist priest, scanned the manual about the "Great Dream of Three Lives" Celestial Path Skill, and sent it to her.
