Chapter 2892: Clearing the Doubts
"I naturally know this," Zhang Linshan said seriously.
She had been present at the time. If she didn't know, that would be strange.
"But what does this have to do with you letting her go?" Zhang Linshan truly couldn't figure it out.
Zhang Weixi smiled faintly. "Zhang Baozhu harmed my family. I almost died by her hand. If I were to let her go, I wouldn't have such good composure. This is the karma she owes me. If I don't punish her, I will have problems when I face my heart demon tribulation in the future."
Zhang Weixi spoke calmly.
"Then you…" Zhang Linshan understood even less, looking at Zhang Weixi.
Zhang Weixi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Although Master Hu marrying Zhang Baozhu had an element of repaying kindness, it was mostly to resolve karma. Aside from this karma, Master Hu is inherently a very selfish person."
Zhang Weixi said lightly, "It is undeniable that Master Hu is someone who can suppress Zhang Baozhu. This marriage was sought by Zhang Baozhu, so I naturally helped them achieve their wish. As for what kind of treatment she will receive after entering the Hu family, it is none of my business. I am merely resolving everyone's karma."
She paused. "First, I resolved the karma between me and Zhang Baozhu, as well as the karma between Master Hu and me. All three parties' karma is resolved. Second, Zhang Baozhu sought what she wanted and got it. She married into the Hu family relying on her child. The Hu family will not show her a good face. Therefore, I never worried about her living comfortably."
"You mean marrying into the Hu family is the true beginning of her disaster?" Zhang Linshan seemed to understand Zhang Weixi's meaning.
Zhang Weixi smiled. "Roughly speaking, yes."
Zhang Linshan said, "After hearing you say that, it is indeed possible. The Hu family members are not easy to get along with. Zhang Baozhu stole your credit, so she would already be disliked by the Hu family. Now, marrying her is merely out of necessity, just a matter of resolving karma. In this way, whether her life is good or bad no longer matters."
"Yes. So, do you think I let Zhang Baozhu go?" Zhang Weixi smiled.
Zhu Zhibin summarized from the side, "Having a grudge against someone doesn't necessarily mean confronting them directly. Sometimes, letting someone live can be more painful than letting them die."
Hearing this, a chill ran through Zhang Linshan's heart. He looked at Zhu Zhibin with fear in his eyes. "Why does your statement make my heart tremble?"
Zhu Zhibin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Actually, I didn't say much. We just let them live the life they wanted."
Zhang Linshan gave a direct expression of disbelief. Who would like to live a life worse than death? Unless they were fools.
Linshan's Father nodded slightly. "It is a pity that your parents can never return."
Zhang Weixi thought for a moment. "Uncle, Father and Mother have already entered reincarnation."
"I know that. So if you need relatives to help with anything in the future, just come to Uncle." Linshan's Father thought Zhang Weixi was referring to the death of her parents.
Zhang Weixi said, "Naturally. However, Uncle, before Father and Mother entered reincarnation, I went to see them. I personally sent them into the Path of Reincarnation. They have now been reborn in another world. That world is more suitable for their survival. This includes my brother; he will still be the son of my parents."
"Wait, wait." Linshan's Father looked full of surprise. "You said your parents have been reborn, and you sent them personally?"
Zhang Weixi nodded. "I was in the Underworld recently."
"(⊙o⊙)… How could you possibly go to the Underworld?" Linshan's Father asked curiously. "Did something happen to you?"
"No." Zhang Weixi said directly. "My husband knows a Yin Envoy from the Underworld. I asked him for help, and I saw my parents and brother for the last time. Mainly, my husband was worried that I would leave shadows due to the death of my parents and brother, which might cause heart demons. Therefore, he arranged this."
Linshan's Father listened to Zhang Weixi and looked seriously at Zhu Zhibin. After a while, he said, "Son-in-law, you know a Yin Envoy?"
"I happened to know one." Zhu Zhibin naturally couldn't say he knew the Venerable Yanluo and the Empress of the Underworld; that would be too shocking. So, he thought Zhang Weixi's excuse was just right.
Zhang Linshan didn't believe Zhang Weixi would deceive him, so he said, "In that case, I am relieved. When your parents were alive, life was actually not easy. It was mainly because they could not cultivate. If they had good talent and could cultivate, they wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Everything is predestined. The ending of my parents was also destined." Zhang Weixi smiled lightly. "I asked. My parents were destined to die by Zhang Baozhu's hand. It was mainly because in their previous life, my parents owed this karma."
Speaking of this, Zhang Weixi paused again. "This is also why I didn't directly take Zhang Baozhu's life. Past causes, present effects. The destined ending cannot be changed. Even though we cultivators exist against heaven, we still have to experience the heart demon tribulation before ascending."
Zhu Zhibin also said from the side, "Actually, the karma Zhang Baozhu owes is not just to my wife. She also owes karma to many people. Therefore, she must suffer in this life. If she doesn't pay it off in this life, she will continue to do so in the next."
"So, it is precisely because you saw this result early on that you deliberately let her go with such broad-mindedness." Zhang Linshan finally understood.
"It is good that you understand, Cousin. No need to say it out loud." Zhu Zhibin answered with a smile.
Linshan's Father was also satisfied with this result. Since he knew Zhang Baozhu's final ending, he didn't bother to care anymore. He only said, "Are you going to stay here next?"
"No." Zhang Weixi said. "I have now formed a Golden Core. What I lack is experience. My husband wants to take me around to see things and gain some experience, so as to strive for the Nascent Soul stage in the future."
"That is good. In that case, we won't stop you. However, after this parting, we don't know when we will meet again." Linshan's Father felt that his niece had a good归宿 (destination/home), but he was also sad about the upcoming separation.
Zhu Zhibin then took out a jade pendant and handed it to Linshan's Father. "If your family has any difficulties, take this jade pendant to the branch of the Strategist Alliance. They will help you."
"Strategist Alliance?" Zhang Linshan asked in surprise. "Are you talking about the Strategist Alliance famous for its wise men?"
"Yes." Zhu Zhibin nodded slightly.
"Is brother-in-law one of them?" Zhang Linshan asked curiously.
"No." Zhu Zhibin shook his head with a smile.
"I don't believe it. Just listening to your summary earlier, I felt you were quite dark. If you weren't a member of the Strategist Alliance, I wouldn't believe it." Zhang Linshan said directly.
"What I mean is, I am not a wise man of the Strategist Alliance, but I am the Alliance Leader of the Strategist Alliance." Zhu Zhibin said slowly. "The Strategist Alliance in the cultivation world was founded, created, and developed by me."
(⊙o⊙)… Zhang Linshan and his father looked at each other. They couldn't imagine that the bronze in front of them was actually gold. This feeling was truly indescribable in words.
"Uncle and Cousin, no need to be so surprised. I just developed a small force." Zhu Zhibin saw Zhang Linshan and his father's expressions, so he had to say this.
"Just developed a small force? You don't feel guilty saying that?" Zhang Linshan said. "Who doesn't know that although the Strategist Alliance is not a large force, no sect dares to offend it, because those who come out of the Strategist Alliance are all wise men."
"Exactly." Linshan's Father also sighed. "Offending a martial artist at most results in physical suffering. But if you offend these wise men, you might end up selling yourself and counting money for them."
The father and son both had expressions of fear.
Zhu Zhibin coughed. "It's not as scary as you say. In the Strategist Alliance, we rarely target a single person, unless that person offends a member of the Strategist Alliance."
"Anyway, it is a fact that your Strategist Alliance is not to be trifled with." Zhang Linshan said.
Linshan's Father then said to Zhang Weixi, "Originally, I was worried about you. But now that I know my son-in-law is the Alliance Leader of the Strategist Alliance, we are no longer worried. Weixi, you are blessed. Work hard."
Zhang Weixi nodded and said to Linshan's Father, "Uncle, rest assured."
At Zhang Linshan's house, Zhang Weixi and her group stayed for only two days before saying goodbye and leaving.
Although Zhang Linshan's family were relatives, they were no longer close kin. Zhang Weixi knew this, so she did not stay long.
After leaving the Zhang family, Zhu Zhibin decided to take Zhang Weixi to visit the Strategist Alliance.
"Mainly to go and see, so you also know where the Strategist Alliance is. Of course, the most important thing is to let those people recognize you as the Alliance Leader's wife." Zhu Zhibin said with a smile.
Zhang Weixi had no other destination anyway, so she followed Zhu Zhibin.
"Will your subordinates have objections to me?" Zhang Weixi felt a bit uneasy.
"No." Zhu Zhibin smiled lightly. "How could they have objections? They actually all know that I will have another marriage. This marriage is my true destined affinity. So if they are dissatisfied with you, they are destroying my marriage."
Zhu Zhibin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Once they destroy my marriage, they will be hunted by my sister."
Zhang Weixi looked at Zhu Zhibin suspiciously. "I think Sister and Brother-in-law are people with very good tempers."
"They have good tempers?" Zhu Zhibin laughed loudly. "That is because we are family. I remember when I was still a mortal, I participated in a world-level competition and was injured by someone. At that time, my sister almost overturned the whole world."
Zhu Zhibin's tone was somewhat nostalgic. "To be honest, my sister is very protective. Actually, more accurately, all of us in the Zhu family are very protective."
Zhang Weixi smiled sweetly upon hearing this. "So you are also very protective of me."
"Absolutely." Zhu Zhibin said seriously. "So you don't need to worry at all about the people in the Strategist Alliance having objections to you. They dare not and cannot."
