"No, Brother Qu, I don't care what wrong things you did in the past. I only know that you are a good person after coming to Beining Pass. Tell Young Master Mu how you lost your hand. Tell her what you did after coming to Beining Pass?" The girl said firmly without any of her previous weakness and shyness.
"Young Master Mu, Lan Xiu is right. Lord Qu has devoted himself to our Beiguanning since he came here. He was brave and fearless in defending the city, and he was very caring towards the people. He lost his arm while trying to save me. It is said that admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Now that he has repented, I beg Young Master Mu to spare his life." The old man also stepped forward and said.
"My life was saved by Brother Qu. Master Mu, please forgive him and let him live."
"And me, my life was also saved by Brother Qu."
"And me."
"And me."
…
Dozens of figures knelt before Mu Hanyan, pleading for Qu Fengting. Among them were civilians from the interior and soldiers defending the city.
"Don't say anything. I did something wrong and killed so many people. Even if Young Master Mu forgives me, I can't forgive myself." Qu Fengting had made up his mind and turned the sword around and stabbed it diagonally towards his heart.
"Stop!" At this moment, a tall and thin young man stood up.
"You are..." Qu Fengting looked at the man and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"My name is Meng Zhixing. I'm a relative of the He family and a descendant of the He family's branch family. You may not recognize me, but you must recognize my brother Meng Zhiyuan." said the young man.
"I hope you are Meng Zhiyuan's younger brother." Qu Fengting smiled bitterly.
Meng Zhiyuan was one of the young men from the noble families who had followed him wholeheartedly but was deceived by him and died tragically in the Valley of Strange Beasts.
"Your elder brother was loyal to me in the past, but I deceived him and he died tragically in the Valley of Strange Beasts. If you want to take revenge with your own hands, then come on. Even if I have to cut you into pieces, I will not say a word." Qu Fengting raised his head and said calmly.
"No, I don't want to kill you. I want to tell you that I hated you to the core because of my elder brother's death, but now I have forgiven you. If my elder brother is still alive, he will surely forgive you as well." Meng Zhixing said, then turned to look at Mu Hanyan, "Master Mu, since he has repented and paid such a price to protect Beining Pass and Anyun, why not spare him?"
"Yes, sir. Even if Sir Qu had committed many faults in the past, he has now changed his ways and paid such a price. I beg you to spare his life." The other soldiers and civilians also knelt on the ground again.
"Everyone, get up. I have actually forgiven him a long time ago." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
In fact, seeing the change in Qu Fengting, her mentality changed. However, after all, she didn't know how he really behaved in Beining Pass and whether he really repented, so she didn't make a conclusion easily. At this time, seeing the performance of everyone, even Meng Zhixing, who was also a victim, forgave Qu Fengting. Of course, she was willing to give him another chance to start a new life.
