I Tamed The Most Evil Emperor 43 Belief Turned Into A Rule

"Who is this fat guy blocking our way?!" The guard jump down Li Bei's throat that he didn't even have the chance to talk while his stomach was heavily punched from a fist below and got a horizontal kick from the guard that pushed him away.

Ling Ai catches Li Bei and her face turned furious.

"How dare you?! Didn't you know that they are all strained and vulnerable because they drained their energies from the exams? Are you that inconsiderate?

He just protected me because I'm their friend, I'm their sister. It's only natural for Brother Li Bei to be protective in an instant where strangers show up regardless of who you are. Talking about it, what do you want from me? What did I do?" Ling Ai raised her voice as she was furious after seeing Li Bei in pain.

Liu Qiang and the rest attended Li Bei that almost turned unconscious as he was out of breath when his defenseless stomach got direct hit from the guard's kick.

"It's not that we are not welcoming you or anything, but you seem suspicious. One of the commoners saw you walking towards the steep area and walk around the abandoned White house. That's why we need to ask you a few things and let's see what we can do hearing your side about it. Technically, we are giving you a chance to explain because that area was restricted for years already and yet you entered it like it was your paradise or something." The right-hand man of the Captain guard elucidated.

"Then does that justify you hurting an innocent resident?" Ling Ai's face was covered in shadow as she was trying to contain her anger.

"Wh... Did you not hear me? You deserve to be imprisoned for violating a rule that was implemented for years! And this fatty guy tried to protect a violator then he must as well be considered an accomplice deserving of punishment." The right-hand man guard snickered while looking at Ling Ai.

Minutes have just pa.s.sed but there was already a crowd surrounding them, intrigued about what was happening.

"Sister Ling Ai..."

Liu Qiang, Li Bei, Wong Yong, and Wong Wei just watched them helplessly as they can't do anything about Ling Ai breaking a rule although they wanted to help her in any way possible. The guard seemed reasonable for his actions.

"Then is a belief considered a rule? You guys are so terrified about a legend that you made a belief suddenly turn into a rule or family law? Pfft! That's all a bluff that I in many years wouldn't believe neither will I follow it." Ling Ai faced the awkward guards as they felt ashamed from what Ling Ai pointed out.

"You don't know anything! The Luban Sect fortress itself was horrified from what happened years ago! The story itself makes us uneasy, that's why a commoner like you breaking such rule shall be punished in prison!" A random citizen with a shaking voice bawled out at Ling Ai.

"Didn't you hear from what I've just said? They, or rather the Luban Sect itself, because of a terror from a legend, they turned such a belief into an unjustified rule or we can also say an unripe belief." Ling Ai replied confidently.

The crowd widened their eyes and were glancing at each other as all of them felt shame because Ling Ai hit the bull's-eye of the truth that all of them were just horrified from that legend and made it a rule themselves to never enter the mysterious place. The Captain guard finally b.u.t.ts in.

"As the head of the fortress army. We are doing everything of this for the safety of our residents, that's why such a rule is necessary to make people at peace knowing that the legend, Ahem!... let me say this straight, the history of the White Jinn shall never be opened again neither entertained." The Captain guard stood in front of his guards looking down at Ling Ai.

"Then again, does that justify your ignorant guard hitting my brother Li Bei? So if one tries to ease one's fear from a certain belief then one is allowed to hurt someone who does not agree with it? How about this, my friend is in fear because apparently his belief was being compromised. And that belief is watching the guard who hit him harmless."

_thud! Bam!

No one noticed because of Ling Ai's quickness that she was already at the front of the right-hand guard and she bent her knees slightly throwing a heavy blow to the guard's stomach and kicked him just as what the guard did to Li Bei.

The guard flew after Ling Ai kicked him and rolled twenty paces away from Ling Ai and the rest. The guard stopped rolling as he hit several empty barrels from the stores.

He coughed saliva and blood at the same time as he was running out of breath and continues to struggle from the pain he is feeling.

The commoners were in shock seeing a Luban Sect guard knocked out so easily.

"See that? Is that a nice thing to watch? Answer it yourselves. I just did what he had done to my friend, to my Brother Li Bei. Why? All because of one's personal belief! Do you realize now how r.e.t.a.r.ded that rule is? No one shall and must be allowed to hurt, criticize or restrict anyone, any person because of other's personal issues and fears. That way, justice will exist and is possible while crime will always be punishable with such expected consequences. Does that sound fair now?"

After Ling Ai's long speech, the crowd was in silence and the guards didn't have the chance to say anything about it as their Captain was also stunned from what Ling Ai stated.

Ling Ai and his friends left the area and brought Li Bei first to his home.

As they walked by the path of Li Bei's house, Ling Ai's friends were dazing at her.

"Sister Ling Ai, you never fail to surprise us. Thank you for everything again. I guess they won't bother you now, you defended yourself with clarity, confidence, and courage! You're indeed amazing, Sister Ling Ai." Liu Qiang glanced at Wong Yong and Wong Wei and they nodded in agreement.

"I just did what was right. I just said what I know is right. And I always take the side of righteous innocent people like my brothers." Ling Ai chuckled and smiled at them.

She made her friends teary-eyed again, they indeed can't help themselves contain their softness in nature.

"Oh, there it is! Brother Li Bei's house."

Wong Yong and Wong Wei that had been lifting Li Bei to help him walk and they gently a.s.sisted him on the mat outside of Li Bei's house.

"We're here now. Thank you guys for bringing me home. I feel ashamed because I wanted to protect Sister Ling Ai but it turned out that she was the one protecting me. Thank you for everything, Sister Ling Ai. Sorry for trying to-" Li Bei sitting crossed-legs on the mat had a long face as he realized that he didn't contribute any help at all when the situation heated up.

"It's okay, Brother Li Bei. We protected each other fairly and that's enough. What's important is that you're safe and you must recover quickly. Now, to not worry your parents; go fix yourself up, relax, and recover, okay?" Ling Ai smiled and expressed her empathy towards her friends.

"Yes, thank you Sister Ling Ai! Take care on your way out. See you sooner! Again..." Li Bei bowed his head and waved his hands to Ling Ai and his friends. "Liu Qiang, Wong Yong, and Wong Wei! Be sure to take care of Sister Ling Ai!" Li Bei waved his hands and shouted even though he was breathing heavily.

Ling Ai and the group waved their hands back at their plump jolly friend, Li Bei.

After half an hour at the Luban Sect fortress.

"No... I'm okay, I wanted more to see you guys securely entering your respective houses. It makes me relieve and not to say that you guys were also strained from the exams, right? So I'm just good here, see you guys, brother Liu Qiang, and Wong brothers." Ling Ai waved her hands at her friends as they part ways and went to their home.

"Perfect! I can still catch up in acquiring and training my Warrior talent skill the White Mustache prepared for me." Ling Ai sighed and was excited thinking about her new skill.

Ling Ai went to the Full Moon Clan and there the illusion fades out as the men in black robes expelled it the moment they saw Ling Ai. White Mustache taught the men in black robes how to expel his illusion skill as they were a.s.signed to oversee the surroundings and report immediately anything they found suspicious.

"It's good to see you at this hour, young lady Ling Ai."

Ling Ai went to the temple and was greeted by the eight dragon swords aligned on the path guarding the White Mustache's temple.

"Thank you. It's good to see you guys in good shape as well." Ling Ai nodded and smiled at them.

"She's pretty beautiful, isn't she? And... kind as well." Fan Liu expressed and smiled inside her dragon mask.
