One day, as he walked down the road, someone called out to him. In a daze, he realized it was the same doctor from years past.
The doctor recognized him, and with evident joy, explained that he had seen through the woman's deceit from the start. By cleverly deceiving the merchant that he was infertile, he had encouraged the merchant to give up on his fraudulent plans. With such a conscience, he had accumulated virtue and good deeds.
Hearing this, the merchant let out a dreadful scream, vomited blood, and died on the spot. Indeed, at his death, he had neither wife nor children to mourn him.
Zhou Dao often found this story amusing, but now, it made him think of the shadow cast by the Black Sky Sect.
Once one strives for what does not belong to them, they often lose even more.
