Chapter 32 Twisted Logic

“Arghhh!

My arm!

My arm!” Everything had happened too fast.

Only then did the freckled Gu Master react.

He clutched the cleanly severed wound, but blood continued to gush through his fingers.

“Y-You…

How dare you!”

He knew Lin Feng’s temperament was somewhat unpredictable, but he had never imagined Lin Feng would strike without the slightest hesitation.!

Lin Feng kicked him to the ground, then planted his foot on the man’s chest and slowly pressed down.

The freckled Gu Master felt as though a wild boar had slammed into him before crushing him beneath its weight.

That was because Lin Feng had once used a Rank Three Leopard Strength Gu to strengthen his body.

His physical strength was far beyond that of an ordinary Gu Master.

Lin Feng crouched halfway, lowered his head, and spoke in an unusually calm voice.

“I know what you’re about to say.

According to the caravan’s rules, using Gu on a fellow member is punishable by a fine of fifty primeval stones right?.

“Fine”

He took out a money pouch and tossed it onto the freckled Gu Master’s face.

“Here’s a hundred primeval stones.

Now get out of my sight.”

Without another glance, Lin Feng turned and walked away.

The freckled Gu Master was left dazed by the blow.

He struggled to his feet, looking no better than a beggar receiving alms.

Yet he didn’t dare utter a single word of complaint.

He could only pick up his severed arm and leave in disgrace.

“Why are you still standing there?” Lin Feng swept his gaze over the others.

“Go find some duck necks for Captain Zhen.

Since she enjoys them so much, make sure she eats her fill.”

After dealing with the freckled Gu Master, Lin Feng had no intention of letting Captain Zhen off.

Since she insisted it was duck neck, then he would make her eat duck neck.

With that, the two of them left the logistics camp together.

By the time they had walked a considerable distance, the commotion behind them had long faded.

Only then did Tie Yuning break the silence “Aren’t you being a little too ruthless?” Tie Yuning frowned.

By nature, she was still righteous person, and she found it difficult to accept Lin Feng’s cold-blooded approach.

Lin Feng chuckled.

“What?

Regretting it already?

Wasn’t this your idea?

An eye for an eye.

I merely asked them to find her a few more duck necks.”

“Get lost!

You know I wasn’t talking about making that fat woman eat ‘duck neck.’ How could you be so ruthless?

You actually cut off his arm.

He’s still one of our companions!” Tie Yuning said, glaring at him.

Even so, when she recalled the miserable way Captain Zhen had been forced to eat the rat’s head, she couldn’t help feeling a little satisfied.

Lin Feng rested both hands behind his head and replied indifferently, “It’s not like the caravan doesn’t have healing Gu Masters.

Reattaching an arm is nothing to them.

As a healing Gu Master yourself, you should know that.

Besides, I have a bad temper.

Who told him to keep running his mouth?”

“That’s right.

He’s nothing but a scumbag, practically one of Jia Hu’s lackeys.

If you hadn’t shown up in time, I’d have been the one eating ‘duck neck.'” Tie Yuning wasn’t that saintly either.

She took the roasted chicken leg Lin Feng handed her and bit into it.

The meat was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and coated in a rich sauce.

His grilling skills were surprisingly good.

“But, Brother Lin, I’ve never had any grudge against them.

Why are they targeting me?”

Lin Feng replied helplessly, “Of course you don’t have a grudge against them.

But if you hadn’t insisted on tracking down the person behind the beast tide, would Jia Hu have ordered such a thorough investigation of the logistics Gu Masters?

Logistics has always been a profitable position.

They pocket whatever they can.

Because of your investigation, every one of them got dragged into it.

I heard they all received at least a hundred lashes and had more than a hundred primeval stones confiscated.”

Tie Yuning stopped in her tracks and looked at him in disbelief.

“Brother Lin , are you blaming me?

For the caravan’s safety, the culprit had to be found!

Their corruption and embezzlement are their own doing.

What does that have to do with me?

And besides, isn’t seeking fairness and justice what everyone wants?”

In Tie Yuning’s eyes, or rather, according to the Tie family’s teachings, right was right, and wrong was wrong.

Anyone who committed a crime had to be punished.

Upholding fairness and justice was what every Gu Master should strive for.

Otherwise, how could there ever be peace in the world?

“I’m not blaming you, but they won’t see it that way.

Cutting off someone’s livelihood is no different from killing their parents.

What you did may not have gone that far, but it wasn’t far off.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help feeling helpless toward this naive girl.

Fortunately, Tie Yuning wasn’t as uncompromising as Tie Xue Leng, the Tie family’s famous Divine Constable.

Otherwise, this matter would have become far more troublesome.

“Forget it.

I’m done arguing with you.

All you ever say is twisted logic.

You’re completely unreasonable, yet you always think you’re right.” Tie Yuning casually tossed the chicken bone aside, scooped up a ladle of water from a nearby bucket, and washed the grease from her hands.

“Didn’t you always want to know how our Tie family investigates cases?

I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll tell you.”

“Really?

That’s perfect.” Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.

“I’ve always wondered why the Tie family’s Divine Constables are famous throughout Southern Border.

Does your Tie family have some special Gu for solving cases?”

Lin Feng was secretly pleased.

His efforts had finally paid off.

Once he understood the Tie family’s methods of investigation, he could finally kill people with peace of mind in the future.
