Chapter 101: Lu Jianming's Confession

My father did not stop struggling.He confessed.His voice came through the temple bell, hoarse and shaking, amplified across the red-thread street."I, Lu Jianming, admit I opened the Western Gate."The thread tightened.I ran, but law was faster than distance.The next trouble did not announce itself like prophecy. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The ash-light pressed against every window while a dead radio marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.He continued anyway."Twenty years ago, my wife asked me to help save a child with a missing soul. I thought the gate was a machine. I thought the dead were records. I thought grief could be engineered."Ava stood very still.Every red strand turned toward her."I was wrong," my fath

Chapter 102: The Fragment That Hated Me

The fourteen-year-old Ava fragment hated everyone.She hated Daniel first.Reasonable.She hated my father second.Also reasonable.Then she looked at me, and the hate sharpened into something that knew where to cut."Lu," she said, voice rough from years behind stitches. "Another Lu with a seal."The next trouble came through the side door, where bad news usually entered. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The cold incense smoke pressed against every window while wet footsteps marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Ava flinched."I'm you.""No," the fragment said. "You're the version that got to forget."Silence fell harder than any attack.The red-thread street held its breath.Ava's hand slipped from my coat.

Chapter 103: Ghost Patrol Manual

Zhao Feng wrote the first ghost patrol manual on the back of a takeout menu.Rule one: do not chase faceless brides alone.Rule two: if a resident offers fake incense bought online, confiscate it and issue warning.Rule three: if the City God looks dramatic, duck."I do not look dramatic," I said.Ava, the teenage fragment, Aunt Lan over speakerphone, Judge Xue, and every ghost within hearing all said nothing.The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The freeway dust pressed against every window while paper wings marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.Cruel people.The faceless brides advanced in perfect rows. Their knives were marriage certificates folded into

Chapter 104: The Temple Treasury

We spent merit like blood.Five points to reinforce the West Third boundary.Three to restore names to two patrol ghosts.Seven to stop a subway platform from becoming a mass ancestral altar when commuters panicked and prayed to anything that answered.By midnight, the treasury balance was two.Aunt Lan slapped the tablet.The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The blue altar fire pressed against every window while a court tablet striking wood marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."How does a temple go bankrupt saving people?"Judge Xue said, "Historically, often."I wanted to laugh. I did not have the energy.The living petition line now wrapped around the block.

Chapter 105: Years on the Scale

My father had grown older in one hour.His hair, already gray, had gone white to the roots. His hands shook where they rested on the altar. Red gate characters crawled under his skin like worms made of law."I did not offer them," he said.Judge Xue's tablet hovered over his chest."No. The dormant host contract did."Ava's teenage fragment stood at the doorway, face hard.The next trouble did not announce itself like prophecy. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The black rain pressed against every window while a temple bell marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."He pays now?"My father looked at her."Not enough."No one argued.That was the cruelest part.The Western Gate used his stolen years to buy the right to send one cham

Chapter 106: Custody Challenge

Underworld law loved ugly words.Custody.Claim.Host.Asset.Every time the tablet displayed one, Ava's eyes grew colder.The Corpse Groom stood in the main hall, red sash dripping river water onto the tiles. Zhao Feng's badge flickered inside his fist like a trapped firefly."Return my officer," I said.The next trouble came through the side door, where bad news usually entered. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The ash-light pressed against every window while a dead radio marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."Win."The floor transformed beneath us.Temple tiles became court tiles.Incense smoke became witness stands.The statue watched with living eyes.Judge Xue appeared between us, blindfold dark."Emerg

Chapter 107: Name as Collateral

Putting your name on an underworld scale feels like stepping out of your own body and leaving the door unlocked.Every ghost in the temple turned toward me.Ava did too.Her anger arrived before her fear."Lu Chen.""Temporary collateral.""That phrase has never comforted anyone."The Corpse Groom reached for my name card.Judge Xue's sleeve blocked him.The next trouble waited until everyone was tired before showing its teeth. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The cold incense smoke pressed against every window while wet footsteps marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."Collateral remains sealed until judgment.""Then judge quickly."The groom opened his mouth.Daniel's voice came out from somewhere buried deep."Ava, don't lis

Chapter 108: The Yes That Wasn't

The video played in the incense smoke.Ava at fourteen sat in a hospital room with white walls and a red thread around her wrist. Her face was hollow with exhaustion. My mother stood beside her, younger, fierce, and unbearably tired.Lu Jianming held the door.Daniel stood in the corner, alive and shaking.On the recording, someone asked, "Do you agree?"Fourteen-year-old Ava whispered, "Yes."The scale plunged toward the Corpse Groom.The next trouble arrived with dirt under its nails. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The freeway dust pressed against every window while paper wings marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones.The temple crowd outside went silent.Ava's adult face had gone bloodless.The teenage frag

Chapter 109: Father's Debt

"I testify that Ava Monroe agreed to concealment, not marriage."My father's voice was thin.It still struck the court like a hammer.One silver coin vanished from the Corpse Groom's side of the scale and returned as a breath to my father's lungs.Not enough.But something.The teenage fragment wiped her face with the heel of her hand.The next trouble did not announce itself like prophecy. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It made the temple smaller, not larger, because every new rule had to fit inside a room full of frightened people. The blue altar fire pressed against every window while a court tablet striking wood marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."Your mother told me to survive."I nodded."She told everyone that, usually like an order."Ava laughed once through tears.The second proof turned.Consent belonged to Ava.Not Daniel.

Chapter 110: Continuity Is Repair

"Continuity," I said, "is repair."The court listened.So did the living line outside. So did the ghosts pressed against the rafters. So did my father, my aunt, Ava's fragment, Daniel's trapped soul, and whatever remained of my mother inside the laws she had broken to buy us time."My family failed," I said. "We opened doors we did not understand. We hid truth. We used bad law to slow worse hunger."The Corpse Groom smiled.I let him.The next trouble came through the side door, where bad news usually entered. In Qinghe and the Western Branch, symbols had weight. It stained sleeves, cracked floors, moved through crowds, and made ordinary people choose sides before they understood the question. The black rain pressed against every window while a temple bell marked the next turn of the case. Nothing about the Court War felt clean. It felt like another emergency arriving before the last one had been wiped off the stones."And because of that, Qinghe Court carries debt. Not denial. Debt."
