"My son, Speechless Li, he is a kind boy, so why did you kill him?"

Tyger Li's tone was calm and his eyes looked indifferent. It was as if he had used the tone of asking "what instant noodles did you eat today". He had asked a stunning and explosive question.

Shi Xiaobai was immediately dumbfounded.

Mu Lengxi looked up in disbelief at Tyger Li. Instantly, her expression turned extremely pale.

How was it possible?

How did he guess that her brother was killed by Brother Xiaobai?

I clearly did not say a thing nor did I leak out anything?

How did he know?

No, he definitely could not know!

He was guessing!

How did he guess?

Could it be that he was certain that I was protecting the murderer and because Brother Xiaobai is very close to me and he possesses extremely great strength that surpasses Brother Speechless, he was able to determine that Brother Xiaobai is the murderer?

How can that happen?

No, it's him. It's that man. Those few points were enough. This traces of clues had made him infer something that he believes is the truth. Then, he would resolutely believe in his judgment!

He was already certain that Brother Xiaobai is the murderer.

And the reason he would ask this question is for…

Verification?

Oh no!

Mu Lengxi's thoughts raced as she thought of the crux of the matter. She hurriedly reached out her hand to hold on to Shi Xiaobai. The reason Tyger Li had asked the question was not only to verify the truth, he was also trying to hoax Shi Xiaobai into confessing!

However, it was too late by the time Mu Lengxi thought it through. Shi Xiaobai had no idea that Mu Lengxi, Sunless, and company had the intention of hiding this matter to the world. He never expected that Mu Lengxi was trying her best to hide this matter from him and Speechless's father. When he heard Tyger Li's question, he believed that Tyger Li already knew the truth and was already beginning to question him.

Shi Xiaobai was already feeling guilt-ridden because of the matter. Furthermore, he was not a person who avoided questioning. Hence, he quickly shook his head and answered, "Sorry, This King does not know why because This King had no intentions of killing him."

Mu Lengxi's face was drained of its color. She knew that the matter could not be concealed any longer. Tyger Li had used his ruthless judgment and sinister hoax to obtain the truth.

Tyger Li's eyes flashed a cold killing intent but his eyes remained calm. He said coldly, "You do not know why? But you were still the one who killed him."

Shi Xiaobai sighed and did not know how to explain. Although it was unintentional, he was still the one who had killed after losing all reason. How was it to be determined if he was considered a murderer?

Tyger Li said coldly, "A life for a life. My son's death shall be paid with your life. Do you have any other thoughts on this matter?"

When Mu Lengxi heard that she hurriedly held Shi Xiaobai's hand and shook her head forcefully.

Shi Xiaobai turned his head to placate her with a gesture. Then, he looked at Tyger Li and said solemnly, "Sorry, This King probably cannot pay with his life but This King would definitely try to make up for his mistakes so as to gain forgiveness for his sins."

Shi Xiaobai faced the question head on and bravely shouldered the responsibility. However, he was not a pedant person. A living person could make up for his mistakes but nothing could be done if he committed suicide because of his guilt.

Furthermore, he had a nasty impression of Tyger Li. Perhaps, he could overlook the thoughts of enmity because he was Speechless and Mu Lengxi's father but it was impossible for him to give up his life because of his speech.

In other words, Tyger Li was not qualified.

Shi Xiaobai did not plan on explaining further. He only wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly and try his best to make up to Mu Lengxi and Speechless's mother, as well as anyone else, so as to redeem himself from his wrongdoing.

Tyger Li narrowed his eyes and said, "A life for a life is an unalterable principle. This Emperor doesn't need any compensation, only your death."

When Mu Lengxi heard that, she took a step forward to block Shi Xiaobai behind her. She glared furiously at Tyger Li.

Tyger Li said with a sneer, "He killed your brother but here you are, protecting him and loving him. Do you not have any shame?"

With that said, Mu Lengxi felt as if she was struck by lightning. Her face turned increasingly pale. She had previously been painfully wondering how she should treat Shi Xiaobai. At this moment, her dilemma and pain were heartlessly exposed by Tyger Li. It left her momentarily flustered. But even so, Mu Lengxi did not take a step back.

Shi Xiaobai immediately took two steps forward and blocked Mu Lengxi behind him. He said solemnly, "Everything is This King's fault. It has nothing to do with her."

Tyger Li sneered and said, "You know you are at fault but you do not want to repay it with your life. So you are just someone who's afraid of death."

Shi Xiaobai faced his response in silence. He did not wish to embroil in the exchange of words. Regardless of what he said, Tyger Li would not heed it. Explanations on whether he was afraid of death or not would only be corny no matter how righteous it was delivered.

Tyger Li's eyes turned cold as he said, "Since you do not wish to commit suicide to repay a lost life, then let me kill you."

Shi Xiaobai's expression turned grim.

Tyger Li suddenly turned his head and shouted towards the exterior of the courtyard, "Reverend Misery Sea, can you kill this scum for This Emperor?"

Just as his voice faded away, a repressive and respectful 'Amitabha' was heard. It was crisp and loud like the morning bell or evening gong. It reverberated through one's heart.

A golden Buddha suddenly fell from the sky!

When the golden Buddha landed, the golden light dissipated immediately, revealing its true appearance. It was an old monk whose face was covered in wrinkles. He wore a cassock that did not hide the thinness of the old monk. However, his face was plump and he had long earlobes. Just his face resembled that of a Buddha statue.

"Amitabha."

Reverend Misery Sea had his hands together as he landed in between Tyger Li and Shi Xiaobai. He had a smile on his face and benevolent-looking eyes. It was as if he was an esteemed monk that showed mercy.

Tyger Li nodded at the old monk as a form of greeting. He implored sincerely, "Reverend, please kill the evil scum!"

Mu Lengxi sized up the old monk as her eyes gradually widened. She recalled who Reverend Misery Sea was!

She was a bookworm and had once read a Buddhist text that introduced this person.

Reverend Misery Sea was rumored to be the reincarnation of buddha. At birth, he was at the Buddhist's Relic realm. It was equivalent to the Psionic Domain Realm in the psionic cultivation system. He was already in his eighties and had unfathomable strength. Few people in this world were his match but he was dedicated to Buddhism. He practiced abstinence and mediated in Shaolin temple, standing aloof from worldly affairs.

Rumors had it that Reverend Misery Sea was not only well-versed in Buddhist Dharma, he was also proficient in Shaolin combat techniques. He was the strongest person in Shaolin over the past millennia. His strength was comparable to S-class heroes like Thunder Emperor and Tyrant. He was considered a reclusive expert, a Buddha in human form.

Why was Reverend Misery Sea here?

Did her father invite Reverend Misery Sea here to kill Shi Xiaobai?

Mu Lengxi was immediately left extremely alarmed.

Although Shi Xiaobai was considered a wonder in the Psionic Mortal Realm for him to be able to match a Psionic Might Realm warrior, he would only be crushed when facing a Psionic King. There were no other possibilities.

This was because the Psionic Imperial Realm was the biggest ravine in the psionic cultivation system. A Psionic King could even fight ten people at the Psionic Domain Realm. As for Shi Xiaobai, he probably had to use all his strength just to fight a warrior at the Psionic Domain Realm. So how could he stand a chance against someone at the Psionic Imperial Realm?

Furthermore, Reverend Misery Sea was no ordinary person at the Psionic Imperial Realm. Instead, he was a paragon Psionic King. He was on par with those who had the titles of Tyrant and Thunder Emperor. Reverend Misery Sea could defeat ten ordinary Psionic Kings alone. What did this mean?

A hundred Shi Xiaobais added up was in no way Reverend Misery Sea's match!

If Reverend Misery Sea were to attack, Shi Xiaobai would definitely be instantly killed!

Shi Xiaobai also sensed a powerful aura from Reverend Misery Sea. It was like when he faced Hisith or the Infernal Queen. It was a repressive feeling that did not even give him the strength to resist.

Shi Xiaobai had a somewhat heavy expression. If the old monk were to attack, what was he to do?

Shi Xiaobai was not a person who would easily give up. He would also absolutely not give up a battle because his opponent could not be defeated. He had already mentally prepared himself to do battle.

However, Reverend Misery Sea had a look of benevolence as he said to Tyger Li, "Amitabha, This Penniless Monk never kills."

Tyger Li said in a deep voice, "This scum killed my son. His sin is heinous. I implore Reverend to help!"

Reverend Misery Sea shook his head and smiled slightly as he gently said, "Revenge begets revenge, will there ever be an end to it? Benefactor Li, why don't you let it go?"

Shi Xiaobai and Mu Lengxi were dumbfounded when they heard that. They never expected Reverend Misery Sea to be such an esteemed monk. They never expected him to be so understanding and benevolent.

Shi Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief as Mu Lengxi also turned relieved. She thought to herself that if she ever had a chance to pass Shaolin temple in the future, she would definitely give them some alms!
