"You've really been brainwashed. Do you know your senior brother is using PUA tactics?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him. "He only said 'Master's teachings' and he's already firmly tied you to your warship. And you only listen to him, without distinguishing between good and evil. Does this align with the Buddhist teachings you practice?"
Ru Xin remained silent, seriously considering Ye Xingchen's words.
"The Second Master Liang behind you has done all sorts of evil deeds. In order to amass wealth, he monopolized the drug trade in Nanjing and made Huang San and his son his agents, causing countless families to be ruined and people to die." Ye Xingchen said, "That's one of them."
“Everyone has desires, so no one is to blame.” Ruxin shook her head.
"Yes, everyone has desires. It's understandable that Brother Liang Chenghu wanted to live and had a living person's heart transplanted into his own body. After all, nobody wants to die, and nobody wants to live, right?"
Ruxin remained silent, constantly counting the prayer beads in his hand, which represented his inner turmoil and struggle.
He knew that this was evil, and great evil at that.
"In order to board the medical ship 'Sacred Curtain' on the high seas, he used the guise of charity to select healthy people from orphanages and retirement homes and send them to the high seas as offerings. These people had their hearts, livers, lungs, and spleens ripped out while they were still alive and used as blood cows to provide blood for others. Is that right?"
"They labeled homeless people as mentally ill and sent them to mental hospitals so that they could have a medical bay on the Holy Curtain. They sacrificed countless lives to keep his brother alive. Is this something Buddha would allow?"
Ru Xin's hand, which was counting beads on his fingers, suddenly stopped, and his hand trembled slightly.
"If you can tolerate this, then Buddha must be blind." Ye Xingchen tossed out a stack of documents, dozens of pages of paper and photos fluttering in the air before slowly falling.
These documents record Liang Chenghu's numerous crimes, and the photos show the donors whose internal organs were removed while they were still alive; some were middle-aged, some were children...
As Ruxin watched all this, his hands trembled even more violently.
"After our previous battle, we felt a mutual respect and thought we had found a worthy opponent in this world," Ye Xingchen said. "An opponent of this age is indeed not easy to find."
"But if you are such an indiscriminate person who cannot distinguish between good and evil, then consider my feelings of sympathy as a waste."
"Ruxin, kill him! Don't waste your breath on him!" Liang Chenghu roared from the side. "You must remember what your mission is here. You must listen to me, and do everything I say."
Ru Xin remained silent for a long time before finally glancing at Ye Xingchen: "We had a six-day agreement, and there are still four days left."
"How about this, four days from now, we'll have a decisive battle at Dangming Lake in the western suburbs to determine the victor and decide life or death."
"Alright, then four days it is. Since we agreed on a six-day period, let's fulfill that agreement." Ye Xingchen said coldly, "Four days later, at Dangming Lake, I'll be waiting for you. But I will definitely kill Liang Chenghu. Let his head stay on my neck for a few days for now."
After Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he turned and left.
Ru Xin sighed softly, counting the prayer beads in his hand, lost in thought.
"Why did you let him go? Why didn't you kill him?" Liang Chenghu roared angrily. "You need to know who you are. You're here to follow my orders. If I die, all the dirty secrets of your Great Wuxiang Temple will be exposed."
"What trouble is going on at Dawuxiang Temple?" Ruxin looked up at Liang Chenghu.
“You…” Liang Chenghu knew he had said too much. He said angrily, “There are some things I can’t say, but I have done a lot for your Dawuxiang Temple over the years, so you must obey me, or I will immediately inform your senior brother.”
"Four days," Ruxin said. "There will be a result in four days."
"How do your strengths compare to his? Who is stronger?" Ruxin asked.
“They are about equal,” Ruxin said.
"Alright, I'll wait four days." Hearing this, Liang Chenghu breathed a sigh of relief. That meant they were evenly matched. There weren't many people who could fight Ye Xingchen to this level back then. Even if he was unhappy, he had to put up with it.
Liang Chenghu stormed out, leaving Ruxin alone inside.
He looked at the documents and photos scattered on the ground, a hint of sadness appearing on his face.
"You want to sow discord between the Liang Chengji and Liang Chenghu brothers?" Gu Manyun was also shocked when she learned of Ye Xingchen's decision.
"Yes, it almost succeeded, but Liang Chenghu finally realized what was going on." Ye Xingchen said to himself, "But that's normal. If the Second Master of the Liang family could be persuaded by my few words, then he wouldn't be the Second Master of the Liang family."
“The brothers share the same fate,” Gu Manyun said. “Although Liang Chengji was sucking his brother’s blood, he also provided some protection for Liang Chenghu. Otherwise, Liang Chenghu himself would never have been able to do this.”
"Therefore, he won't be so easily alienated."
"Ha, he didn't seem to be swayed by me on the surface, but his heart has already wavered." Ye Xingchen chuckled. "It's true that I don't follow the rules, but I'm also afraid of trouble."
"Killing Liang Chenghu is easy, but there will be a series of messes to clean up afterward. I'm too lazy to clean them up, so let the brothers tear each other apart first, and add fuel to the fire if necessary."
"You're really cunning," Gu Manyun couldn't help but say.
"A brain is a good thing. If all you do is fight and kill, it's really not that interesting," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"Auntie." Just then, Liu Qingwan came out.
She was wearing a silk nightgown, and her exquisite figure made Ye Xingchen take a second look.
"Why did you come out?" Gu Manyun rolled her eyes at Ye Xingchen and muttered under her breath, "You old pervert."
"I can't sleep." Liu Qingwan sighed softly. "I think of my sister every time I close my eyes."
“You’re under a lot of pressure,” Ye Xingchen said. “I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to help stabilize your emotions.”
“Mr. Ye, I know myself perfectly well.” Liu Qingwan shook her head: “Some things may be able to be suppressed for the time being, but these things will remain in your heart forever and become your nightmares.”
"These nightmares will appear whenever you are feeling down, and they will engulf you completely."
"Then you need to clear your head," Ye Xingchen said. "Time heals all wounds."
“I plan to go to Jingye Temple in the suburbs tomorrow to offer incense and pray for my sister, hoping that she can be reincarnated soon and be reborn into a good family,” Liu Qingwan said.
"I'll go with you." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment. He could call Wu Wei to ask about Liu Qingyue's situation, but that would make Liu Qingwan never be able to let go.
Moreover, yin and yang are distinct, and everything in this world is governed by rules. Matters concerning the yin and yang realms cannot be revealed casually, otherwise the consequences will be severe.
