Chapter 16: The Memory Seal
Sect Master Xuan Zi snorted, clearly not convinced by his logical breakdown of the premise either.
"How do you know that you haven’t committed heinous crimes in your past life, boy? Do you perhaps retain any memories of your past life?"
Han Xuhan didn’t want to answer that question. It might complicate things further. It would certainly not get him out of the trap dug by this man.
He needed to end this debate quickly, by hook or by crook.
"Master Xuan Zi, your questions have too many ifs. Such uncertainty cannot make for a good argument. I could place you in the same situation without any basis!
"Let’s say, we contemplate the possibility that you were a great pervert in your previous life. So, are the ladies of this sect really safe from your hands now that you’re a powerful cultivator...?"
Sect Master Xuan Zi’s mouth opened and closed, but no words got out for a good few seconds.
"...That’s too arbitrary. Besides, I do have a basis for suspecting that you’re an anomaly messed up by heavenly order. Your ancestry test results confirm those exact attributes."
"Then as a cultivator, shouldn’t you be supporting people like me? After all, the fate you’re describing could happen to you too," Han Xuhan retorted.
Eyes narrowing, Xuan Zi stared at him for a few moments before saying with a strange smile,
"Indeed. That’s a valid point when you put it like that, young man."
