Chapter 127: Leaving Xuanyan Sect

Everything seemed oddly peaceful after that. The martial artists from the small sects returned to their own sects and did not return to bother Xuanyan Sect about the miscellaneous injustices they suffered. No more masked men came to attack Wang Jingyuan. A new magistrate was assigned to the town. Life returned to normal, and everyone finally let out a breath of relief.

Wang Jingyuan was sullen for a while because she desperately wanted to find out the truth about the masked men and Official Ma's death, but she had promised Liu Xiaochen to leave the case be. Deep down, she understood that her senior brother was right in insisting her to stop investigating. Curiosity killed the cat, and if they were indeed dealing with powerful people in the imperial court, they did not have a large chance of winning.
