"I suddenly feel like going to Shashi for a stroll and a meal," Dongfang Jingjing said.
She had never truly enjoyed herself in Shashi before. She had just glanced at a travel guide, and more than half of it was about food, delicious-looking food at that. She couldn't sit still any longer.
"Isn't that just looking for Lin Xiao?" Zhuge Lan was surprised when he heard Shashi, but he didn't mind. No matter where they were, his priority was to experience ordinary life. As for the rest, as long as Dongfang Jingjing liked it.
"What are we looking for him for? We can just eat and wander around ourselves," Dongfang Jingjing quickly replied.
"Shashi? Great!" Wang Qiran wholeheartedly agreed, "I've been wanting to try the stinky tofu there for ages!"
As for Xiao Yan, he would just follow along with no objections.
...
The next day, Lin Xiao arrived at the interrogation room.
Ma Guoyou was sitting there, his clothes now an orange vest instead of the moon-white heavenly physician robe he used to wear for show.
Seeing Ma Guoyou like this, Lin Xiao felt a bit strange.
After he entered, he asked Old Hu to leave.
"Ma Guoyou, do you know your crime?"
Lin Xiao sat down, all he needed was a gavel. He used a faint version of the Lion's Roar technique for his voice.
Of course, he was careful with his tone. Ma Guoyou was now just an ordinary person, even worse than an ordinary person, with all his cultivation gone and his health failing.
Ma Guoyou looked up at Lin Xiao, a hint of anger flashing across his face, and then coldly said, "I don't speak to those defiled by a冥医 (Ming Yi)."
This man was a rock in a cesspit.
Not only was he stinking and hard, but he truly didn't believe he had done anything wrong. He was blind to his own mistakes, yet he magnified the mistakes of others infinitely.
Of course, if he hadn't been living in his own world, he wouldn't have become a heavenly physician.
Heavenly physicians mostly lived in their own worlds, a collective of such individuals.
And Ma Guoyou was a particularly outrageous one among them.
Lin Xiao heard his insults. There was no point reasoning with such a person.
His cultivation was ruined, and now he just had to take responsibility for his actions.
"Assaulting an officer, intentional injury, insulting public officials..." Lin Xiao listed several charges, staring at Ma Guoyou, "In a society governed by law, you should know the price you have to pay, right?"
Just as Ma Guoyou had said, he didn't seem to want to talk to Lin Xiao.
"It seems you admit it, that's good. Let's proceed with the formalities," Lin Xiao decided, and let Old Hu come in.
After that, he also interrogated the other two.
Unlike Ma Guoyou, these two clearly seemed more like ordinary people.
"I know I was wrong. It was a case of being pressured at the time, and I acted on instinct. Looking back, I deeply regret it..."
These two kept repenting. Clearly, although they lived in their own worlds, they at least knew what consequences awaited them for assaulting an officer.
If they didn't admit their mistakes and show a proper attitude, they could already foresee their fate.
"Your attitude is acceptable, and you are not the main offenders. A lighter sentence is not impossible. When you go through the legal process in court, remember your current attitude." This was much easier. Lin Xiao was satisfied with their attitude. "Oh, and by the way, tell me where your heavenly physician sect usually gathers. I want to pay them a visit."
