One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 88 Release from Prison
Su Ti raised his eyes.

"Wait a minute."

The two prison guards were about to leave, but were suddenly stopped and turned around in confusion.

Suti's eyes swept over the two of them. With just one glance, his strong observation skills and intuition allowed him to see through the two of them. He pointed at one of them and said.

"Go and call the warden."

He looked at another prison guard who had a slightly unnatural look in his eyes.

"You stay here."

"Why?" The prison guard with a slightly unnatural look just opened his mouth when he was glanced at by Su Ti. He was immediately captured by an invisible aura and couldn't utter a word.

Another prison guard also realized that something was wrong and ran out quickly.

After a while, the warden came to Suti's cell with a large number of fully armed prison guards.

As soon as the warden came in, Suti spoke.

"My food was poisoned. Someone is trying to harm me."

The warden's face changed, and before he could speak, Suti said the second sentence.

"One of the participants was your subordinate, but the other one did not participate."

Hearing this, everyone focused their attention on the prison guard who was delivering food and standing next to Suti. At this moment, his face was pale, but he still forced himself to speak.

"He, he is a prisoner. How can you listen to his one-sided words?"

"Then take a bite."

Suti pointed at the untouched food on the ground.

"To prove your innocence, take a bite."

Hearing this, the prison guard turned even paler and looked at the warden.

"Warden, I am really innocent, you have to believe me."

When the warden saw this situation, his face became gloomy. After thinking it over again and again, he spoke.

"Catch him first."

Soon, one of the prison guards who delivered the food was taken under control.

Afterwards, the meals were quickly sent for inspection. Chishui Prison already had a relevant laboratory and the results were quickly obtained.

A large amount of cyanide was detected in the food, which is highly toxic.

After reaching this result, the prison was urgently sealed off, all relevant personnel were quarantined, and Suti was also invited to the warden's office.

"How did you know that someone poisoned the prison? How did you know that the prison guard who delivered the food was involved? Most importantly, how did you know that I could trust you?"

As soon as Su stepped in, the warden turned around and asked three questions in a row.

Looking at the warden's furrowed brow, Suti replied.

"With your eyes, of course."

"Eye?"

"Well, you can understand it as a wise eye."

Suti pointed to the center of his eyebrows. It was difficult for him to explain this feeling to others, just like he could not explain colors to a blind person or sound to a deaf person.

Facing a person whose sense has been degraded, all his explanations seem empty and powerless. But if one really has this sense, he will understand everything once he “opens his eyes”.

Who is good to you, who is evil to you, who is a threat to you, who is not a threat to you, who can help you, who will hinder you, there is so much information that makes the world no longer chaotic, but clear and thorough.

How can words describe the beauty of these things?

After hearing this explanation, the warden was stunned for a moment and looked at Suti with complicated eyes.

"I don't know much about your situation, but no matter what, you are under my care now, and I will never let anything happen to you here."

Although the Military Commission is also a state institution, it is completely different from the prison where criminals are held. The warden was not bribed by Xu Qing. Su Ti was temporarily detained in Chishui Prison because of the buck-passing by all parties. If he died here inexplicably, it would be a devastating blow to the warden's political career. Naturally, he would do his best to protect Su Ti.

"From today on, your food will be strictly inspected and I will personally check it. I will never let anyone do anything bad to you."

The warden was very serious, but Suti didn't care at all.

"Don't be so strict. I can't stay here for long."

The warden frowned.

"Do you know what you have done? Although I don't want to punish you, if your crime is proven, no one can save you from here."

"And you don't know who you've offended."

"It's even more impossible to escape from his grasp."

The warden did not say the last sentence. At this moment, he felt heavy in his heart. Looking at the food inspection report on the table and thinking about the prison guard who would rather confess his guilt than speak, his heart sank to the bottom. Even his territory had been infiltrated. He could not even imagine how powerful this person was.

Although he did not conspire with that man, he would definitely protect Suti in prison for the sake of his own political career, but what about when he gets out of prison?

As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. Having offended such a big shot, Su Ti, who is still a commoner even though he is an extraordinary warrior, is destined to have a bad end.

Because the power of extraordinary warriors is far inferior to the state machinery and the power in the hands of Shia officials.

However, Suti spoke calmly.

"I don't need to know who he is. Someone will come to deal with him. This matter has already had its consequences since he attacked me. All I have to do is wait for the dust to settle."

If an ordinary person is put into prison, he will face frame-ups and poisoning and assassination, as well as the dark bigwigs who are watching him covetously, plotting against him and framing him. No matter how powerful he is, he will definitely feel uneasy.

This is inevitable because they don't know what their future fate will be. Their fate is arranged by others, and their future is chaotic and unclear, so they must be very anxious.

But Suti is different. His sixth sense is stronger than that of ordinary people. In his opinion, his current situation is not dangerous, and it can even be said to be very safe.

Not only that, he even felt a hint of joy of being free. With this feeling, it wouldn't take long for him to get out of here.

In fact, Su Ti did not expect that Lin Qingyao's help would come so quickly.

It was already noon on the second day after he entered the prison.

In the warden's office, a middle-aged man with a square face and strong features shook hands with Suti.

"Mr. Su, I am Lin Dong, the newly appointed vice president of the Nanjiang Provincial Military Commission. The investigation into your imprisonment has been completed in the past two days. It was really a misunderstanding. The former vice president of the Nanjiang Provincial Military Commission, Xu Qing, who was in charge of this matter, has been dismissed and is under investigation and facing several charges. On behalf of the entire Nanjiang Provincial Military Commission, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you for the injustice you have suffered in the past two days."

Lin Dong said this and bowed slightly to Su Ti, then handed over a business card.

"This is my business card. In the future, no matter what questions Mr. Su has in the ancient martial arts world, you can consult me. I will definitely answer them for you." As he said this, he gave Su Ti a meaningful look, and left with his secretary. He was very decisive and came and went like the wind.

Not to mention the warden who was watching this scene with his mouth slightly open, Su Ti glanced at the business card. When Lin Dong said that he could consult him if he had any questions, it was obviously not that he really did not want to consult him, but that he could ask him for help.

The other person's surname is Lin, and Lin Qingyao's surname is also Lin. Combined with the look the other person gave him when he left, Su Ti could confirm that Lin Dong was Lin Qingyao's man, and the help given by the other person was also the help given by Lin Qingyao.

"He can even influence the Nanjiang Province Military Commission and directly remove the vice president. The noble person I made friends with this time is indeed invaluable."

Suti put the business card into his pocket, and there seemed to be some understanding in his eyes.

If one only knows how to fight and kill, cultivates his nature but not his destiny, does not understand interpersonal relationships, and does not know how to judge the situation, then no matter how powerful one is, one will be dragged by fate into a humiliating situation where one's martial arts are useless, and eventually be humiliated and killed by villains who are far weaker than oneself.

Just like Yue Fei, who was devoted to serving his country but was harmed by treacherous officials. He had great ambitions for revenge but died before he could fulfill them.

It is also like the Leopard Head Lin Chong in Water Margin, who was the instructor of 800,000 imperial troops, but was plotted against and humiliated by a powerful villain Gao Qiu. He was eventually stabbed in the face and became a prisoner, exiled to Cangzhou.

Throughout history, how many heroes and great men have met with a miserable end, all because of a "villain".

However, then again.

If he was really strong enough to be able to defeat an entire nation, what would it matter if he was plotted against by some villains? At that time, he could break free from all the constraints of fate and even interpersonal relationships, live recklessly, and even make the world run according to his own ideas.

But this thought only flashed through Suti's mind. Because it was too crazy and too arrogant, Suti did not think much about it.

After removing the handcuffs and chains on his feet and changing into normal clothes, Su Ti left Chishui Prison accompanied by the warden.

When he completely stepped out of the gate of Chishui Prison, the warden waved goodbye to him with a complicated expression, and then closed the prison gate.

Chishui Prison was built on the mountain and was sparsely populated, but when Su Ti was released from prison, someone was already waiting for him.

The man was two meters tall and had a strong physique, but his chest was bulging. His broad face had delicate features. It was Yao Juan.

It can be seen that Yao Juan's face has become thinner, and there are criss-crossing marks of whipping on her exposed skin. There is even a long cut that runs through her left and right cheeks. After being stitched with needle and thread, it is like a centipede entwined on her face, almost completely disfiguring her.

Yao Juan saw Su Ti, whose appearance had changed drastically, walking towards her with a hesitant look, as if she didn't dare to confirm. But with the next sentence, she instantly recognized that this person was her junior fellow apprentice.

"Sister, you have suffered."

Su Ti looked at Yao Juan's face and sighed.

Hearing this, Yao Juan's eyes turned red, her throat rolled, and she immediately burst into tears.

She hugged Suti tightly, and Suti also hugged her tightly without saying a word.

After a long time, Yao Juan let go of Su Ti's hand and separated from him.

She wiped the tears from her face and forced a smile.

"Junior brother, you have changed so much that I can't recognize you anymore."

"It's just a matter of effort, it's nothing."

Su Ti shook his head in response, then sighed as he looked at her bruised appearance.

"Senior sister, tell me what you experienced after you left."

Hearing this, Yao Juan's eyes fell. After a long while, she told Su Ti what happened after she left.

Due to the pressure from the Silver Ring Sect, in order to preserve the fire of Longmen, Long Yuanzheng sent the last two disciples, Su Ti and Yao Juan, to travel far away with Longmen's martial arts.

Long Yuanzheng was very thoughtful. Su Ti and Yao Juan set out separately and arranged their own itineraries. They did not know each other's routes and final destinations to prevent one from being captured and exposing the other's location.

The result on Suti's side was very obvious. He had no intention of running away at all. He went out and came back again.

But Yao Juan was different. She was unlucky. She was followed and ambushed by the Hunyuan warriors of the Yinhuan Sect on the way. She was captured and tied back to the Yinhuan Sect.

When Yao Juan was kidnapped, Long Yuanzheng was already dead, but she heard the news from the people of Yinhuanmen.

Afterwards, the people from Yinhuanmen tried to persuade her to surrender, and put forward a condition that as long as she could help Yinhuanmen win over the old members of Nanshengmen, they would let her be the leader of Longmen, and not only would she enjoy wealth and glory, but she would also be able to continue to pass on Longmen's legacy.

"They tortured me severely first, then told me that my master was dead and asked me to face reality and surrender to them."

"Then he said that Third Junior Brother had surrendered to them a long time ago, and that the Silver Ring Sect already has a suitable puppet. I am not as important as you think. Either surrender or die, haha."

Su Ti remained silent when he heard this. This tactic of first hitting with a big stick to establish authority and then speaking to persuade the enemy to surrender, although simple, was very effective.

Especially in a closed environment, ordinary people simply cannot withstand it unless they are warriors with firm beliefs.

Yao Juan laughed out loud when she said this. Her laugh was so loud that the centipede-like scar on her face began to twist. Blood flowed from her wound and she wiped it away casually. Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, but she was unaware of it. She just continued to tell the story while laughing and crying.

"I was very scared, really scared, because I knew what they said was true. They showed me the evidence. I saw the master's body in the photo and the evidence of the surrender of the third fellow apprentice. I knew that if I didn't surrender, I would die. My fear at that time even overwhelmed the sadness of learning that the master had died."

When she said this, Yao Juan's voice began to choke.

"Junior brother, I... I always thought I was different. I love martial arts, respect my master, and am loyal to my sect. I think I am a qualified martial artist. I cannot be corrupted by wealth and power, and I cannot be subdued by might. But junior brother, I was wrong."

"They gave me one night to think about it, and that night was the longest and darkest night I have ever experienced in my life."

"That night, I realized that when the knife was on my neck, when I knew my death was meaningless, my persistence and dignity were so fragile. So fragile that I wanted to betray the master who had taught me for eight years and surrender to the enemy who killed him."

"Junior brother, I am really useless. I am not worthy of being your senior sister. Master is dead. I don't have the strength to avenge him. I can't even keep the desire to avenge him."

Yao Juan cried bitterly and cursed herself. She knelt on the ground with her huge body and lay in front of Su Ti, crying bitterly, venting all her despair at that time.

Su Ti looked at Yao Juan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, with his eyes drooped.

He didn't know what Yao Juan's final choice would be if he hadn't destroyed the Yinhuan Sect.

Will he join the Yinhuan Sect like Yan Jun and become a lackey of the murderer of his master and enemy, or will he die to prove his integrity and be truly mighty and unyielding?

Even with his bodhisattva level of feeling, he did not know this.

But
If one really has to push people to that last step to see whether they are loyal or rebellious to their sect, then this choice itself is against human nature.

When Longmen was in danger, Yao Juan escaped with the sect's inheritance. After being caught, she was tortured and threatened with death, but she still held on for a day and a night until she was rescued.

Now that she met Suti, she could have concealed it, but she revealed her cowardice.

In Suti's heart, even though this senior sister was weaker than him, he still regarded her as his most respected senior sister.

It was this respect that gave him a sense of comfort after Long Yuanzheng and Liang Bo died, his second senior brother Wang Gengyuan left Longmen, and his third senior brother Yan Jun was killed by him.

Yao Juan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. At this moment, a warm hand pressed on her head. She raised her head and saw the blurry face in the golden sunlight.

"Sister, everything is over."

"From now on, as long as I am here, Longmen will never be bullied by anyone again."

"Never will."
