After uttering the words that should not have been said, Master Shen Siyi of the Hidden Sword Pavilion immediately realized that he had lost his composure.

He immediately bowed respectfully, apologizing to everyone, but still clearly stated his position: "I urge you to reconsider, young hero. They are ultimately an evil sect, acting recklessly and easily killing innocent people. Please think carefully, young hero!"

Although the words were few, they clearly demonstrated the Hidden Sword Pavilion's stance on the matter.

"You old scoundrel! Whether or not you help me strengthen my equipment is a matter between us, and has nothing to do with your Hidden True Sword Pavilion! Who gave you the right to interrupt! You're asking for death!"

Gui Bo was furious.

This is blatantly ruining his plans; it's disrespectful to him. Even a Golden Core cultivator like him is losing face.

Naturally enraged.

"How dare you, evil sect! We are a righteous sect, how could we be afraid of you evil sects!" The junior sisters of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion were also commendable. Although they knew they were not strong enough, they still drew their swords without hesitation, ready to fight at any time.

"Please reconsider, young master!" Knowing full well that continuing would lead to his death, the master of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion still remonstrated with Ye Liang, even at the cost of his life, that he must think twice before giving the evil sect members the equipment upgrades and power enhancements!

The people of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion, who consider themselves a prestigious and righteous sect, have repeatedly opposed him and sabotaged his plans, which has infuriated Gui Bo.

"You wretched women, do you think I really wouldn't dare kill you?"

Intimidation will not deter these upright and fearless senior sisters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion!

They were prepared to sacrifice themselves at any time.

However, deep down, she still hoped that Ye Liang would say something to prevent the situation from worsening.

They gripped their immortal swords tightly, ready to fight at any moment, while looking at Ye Liang with expectant eyes.

Before this, although they didn't say it, they respected him deeply in their hearts.

I really hope that at this moment, he will act like a disciple of a reputable sect and not disappoint people by helping the evil sect and harming his own fellow practitioners.

"Aren't you making things difficult for Ye Liang? It's infuriating!" The junior sister was annoyed by both groups. In her opinion, both groups only thought about themselves and never considered how difficult it was for Ye Liang, who was caught in the middle.

Only her senior sisters could understand how difficult it was for Ye Liang, caught in the middle.

When her junior sister spoke, Lin Yan immediately sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled Brother Ye. Let's pretend I didn't say anything about what just happened. Ghost Uncle, you mustn't be rude to Brother Ye's friend! Step aside."

Lin Yan is ultimately kind-hearted.

She had no intention of putting Ye Liang in a difficult position, so she took the initiative to back down.

However, as a girl, she still secretly hoped that Ye Liang would say a word for her.

Don't let her feel so wronged.

She can endure being wronged, and she is willing to endure being wronged for Ye Liang, but if Ye Liang remains indifferent, she will also be heartbroken.

Will Ye Liang hurt her?

Lin Yan herself was unaware of this.

Because she also knew how difficult things were for Ye Liang.

Knowing that he was a disciple of a prestigious sect, it was already quite remarkable that he was willing to befriend her despite her status as a disciple of an evil sect.

If someone were to support her in front of a prestigious sect like the Hidden Sword Pavilion, they would surely face condemnation from all the righteous sects in the martial arts world.

As the saying goes, "Three men can make a tiger," and "Many mouths can melt metal," Lin Yan naturally knew that Ye Liang was facing a great difficulty at this moment.

Therefore, her eyes held a complex expression at this moment. There was compromise, grievance, but also a strange expectation.

Similarly, the junior sisters of the Hidden Sword Pavilion also had high expectations for Ye Liang.

They hope that Ye Liang can continue to be a role model for the righteous and honorable families in their hearts.

Even if Lin Yan backs down now, Ye Liang's situation is still very difficult.

Ye Liang did indeed feel that this was a dilemma. However, as a domineering CEO, Ye Liang had solved many problems that were more difficult than this one.

Often, the trials of the business world do indeed help one grow.

It makes a person's experience not only rich but also mature.

In Ye Liang's view, neither group was wrong. Lin Yan asked him to improve Gui Bo's combat power; given her view of Gui Bo as an elder, was she wrong? No!

From their perspective, the Hidden Sword Pavilion's opposition to this is not wrong!

Lin Yan knew she was in a difficult situation, so she took the initiative to back down, which was truly commendable.

The senior sister of Cangzhen Sword Pavilion, knowing she was no match, still refused to yield to the death for her belief in eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, which is worthy of respect.

Ye Liang did not blame the two groups for making things difficult for him; on the contrary, he appreciated them even more.

Since their conflict began, Ye Liang's gentle gaze has never changed.

Ye Liangxian gestured to the senior sisters of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion to put away their swords and calm down.

This gesture couldn't be clearer: Ye Liang was telling them, "Don't worry, with him here, he won't let anyone harm you in the slightest!"

He looked at Lin Yan with gentle eyes and said, "Uncle Gui does have a bad temper. I won't hide it, I'm also worried that he'll kill innocent people indiscriminately. But I trust you. I'm definitely willing to help strengthen Uncle Gui's equipment. After strengthening, Uncle Gui can immediately equip himself with protective clothing and other equipment. I'll entrust the magic weapons and artifacts he uses to kill to you for safekeeping. In times of crisis, you can let Uncle Gui equip them and go into battle."

After speaking to Lin Yan, Ye Liang immediately turned to the senior sisters of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion and said, "Senior sisters, I understand your concerns very well. I also greatly admire your initial intentions. If you trust me, please trust Lin Yan as you trust me. She will keep Gui Bo in check. In the future, when you travel the martial world and encounter people from the evil sects who make things difficult for you, you can mention the names of Lin Yan and Gui Bo to stop them from causing you trouble. I believe that upon hearing the names of Lin Yan and Gui Bo, they will definitely not dare to continue to make things difficult for you. As for you, don't start shouting for battle as soon as you see people from the evil sects. I can understand the feelings of both your factions..." Your stance is that good and evil are irreconcilable, right? However, my view is that sect affiliation doesn't define whether someone is a good person or not. To be honest, I have no regrets about crippling the Golden Core elder of the Haoqi Sect last night, and I would never hesitate to do so. As for now, I still don't regret befriending Lin Yan and Gui Bo. Gui Bo has flaws, but overall, he's someone I consider worth befriending. He's loyal and righteous, and has some basic sense of right and wrong. Perhaps he's not perfect, but he has his flaws! The facts cannot be denied! Such a person has the potential to become a likable old man. I'm very confident about that.”

Ye Liang spoke up, expressing his understanding and even respect for them. Naturally, the senior sisters of the Hidden True Sword Pavilion were overjoyed, happy, and excited!

With Ye Liang's statement, he remains a role model in their hearts, an elder brother figure like Brother Ye.

As for Lin Yan, Ye Liang, despite the immense pressure, still said he was extremely willing to help Gui Bo strengthen his equipment and improve his strength. With such support from her brother Ye, what resentment could she possibly have?

I was already content.

She felt that this Brother Ye truly lived up to his reputation! She was overjoyed!
