Jiangli spoke bluntly, "Murder for a life, isn’t this a direct life for a life? What else is there to judge?"
Hearing this, Xia Xin coughed and muttered with some embarrassment, "Current laws are not that simple... If he really is mentally ill, crazy... He probably won’t directly pay with his life..."
Doubt filled Jiangli’s large eyes.
"Why not pay with a life for a murder?"
Xia Xin scratched his head, struggling to explain: "Well... I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s like... if he’s crazy, he can’t control his own actions, meaning he doesn’t subjectively want to kill, so it’s not considered intentional homicide..."
Jiangli truly couldn’t understand, "Regardless of whether he wants to kill or not, he still killed a person. That girl had no quarrel with him; he should pay with his life for the murder."
He didn’t know how to explain it to Jiangli.
Xia Xin slumped and said, "Anyway, most likely he won’t have to pay with his life."
Jiangli was quite speechless.
She didn’t understand the current legal statutes.
"Forget it." She didn’t understand the legal statutes and couldn’t comment, only saying, "During the seventh day memorial, let’s find a chance to go to that road and see her off."
Xia Xin nodded: "Okay, should I prepare some things in advance?"
Jiangli hmmed in agreement.
It was meant to be a pilgrim woman who would be in trouble; Jiangli’s words had allowed her to escape misfortune but caused another girl to meet with an accident.
In both emotion and reason, she had to involve herself somewhat in the karmic consequences, to go and see her off, to conclude the matter.
However, such matters were determined by fate and destiny; they had little to do with her own karma and were not worth worrying about.
Just act according to conscience, that’s all.
After agreeing on this matter with Xia Xin, he continued to check the messages on the forum.
The pilgrim woman Cai Wenxin had messaged Xia Xin, but he hadn’t responded.
So she posted about the incident on the forum thread.
Once this message went out, the entire forum was in an uproar.
Some were skeptical, but after verification, had no choice but to believe it was true.
Therefore, the popularity of Jiangli’s thread was stirred up once again.
Xia Xin saw the private message from Cai Wenxin, first replied to her expressing concern and consolation, saying as long as she was alright, nothing else mattered.
Cai Wenxin, seemingly having had a sleepless night because of the incident, quickly replied to Xia Xin: "Thank you, Abbot. I’m fine now, just a bit scared. Can I come over to offer incense early tomorrow morning?"
Xia Xin welcomed her: "Of course, as long as you wish to."
Cai Wenxin thanked him again.
After a brief chat, Xia Xin then looked at the forum, where he announced a draw for a free fortune-telling session.
The heated response to his post had many people looking forward to the evening’s draw.
As soon as Xia Xin posted this message, the thread became lively again, with numerous people quickly responding.
It was already around midnight.
The people in the thread seemed to be night owls, their activity even higher than during daylight hours, quite bustling.
Many inside the Xuanmen Association forum who saw Jiangli’s thread continually at the top were somewhat envious.
And the number of forum insiders posting in the thread increased more and more.
Among them was Master Xiaoqiao, who had previously bought an amulet from Jiangli.
Having just received the amulet sent by Xia Xin, he could tell at a glance that the amulet was extraordinary and had already praised Jiangli lavishly in the thread.
However, many insiders considered him to be a plant for Jiangli.
Xiaoqiao, not to be defeated, deliberately went to Jiangli’s thread to flood it with replies, hoping Jiangli would see that he was a ’plant’ and make sure to select him in the draw.
