"So, it was you who exposed my master's whereabouts, which led to his arrest?"
Rong'er's chest heaved.
She regarded Zhang Chaoyang as her savior, and even as a family member.
Unexpectedly, the other party was actually using me!
However, Zhang Chaoyang didn't care about Rong'er's feelings, because in his eyes, Rong'er was already a dead person.
"Rong'er, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to trick you into my hands and let you experience what it's like to be a woman, but now, I can only apologize. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely make it up to you, hahaha!"
He laughed loudly and was about to pull the trigger.
brush!
Just then, Lin Yu suddenly shot out a silver needle, which stuck into the safety pin of the Desert Eagle, making it impossible to pull the trigger.
Zhang Chaoyang froze for a moment, then quickly twisted the pistol and raised it again, ready to shoot Rong'er. But he still failed; the pistol seemed to be completely broken!
Lin Yu looked at Rong'er and said, "What are you still standing there for? His pistol is broken; this is the perfect opportunity for you to kill him!"
Rong'er's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed Zhang Chaoyang's neck.
Zhang Chaoyang instantly suffocated and struggled incessantly.
However, Rong'er was at the peak of internal strength, while he was just a weak cripple; how could he possibly break free?
"Rong, Rong'er, no, no, I was wrong..."
thump!
Rong'er finally let go.
"You saved my life before, this is to repay you! You can leave now!" Rong'er said coldly.
Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment. "You, you're not going to kill me?"
"I told you to leave!" Rong'er shouted.
Zhang Chaoyang shuddered, glanced at Lin Yu, and seeing that Lin Yu didn't say anything, he turned and ran downstairs.
Only after Zhang Chaoyang was out of sight did Lin Yu look at Rong'er and ask, "You gave him the chance to live, so... you want to die?"
Rong'er chuckled softly, tears streaming down her face. Her expression at that moment was one of utter despair and utter heartbreak.
“I have lived with my master since I was a child. I thought my master was my closest person, but I never expected that in her eyes I was nothing more than a servant who could be executed at any time!”
"When I met my elder brother, I thought there was true affection in this world, but what I saw was the depravity of human nature!"
She raised her head shakily, looking at Lin Yu, "So, tell me, what is real in this world? What is truly real?!"
In the end, she cried out in anguish, her voice choked with sobs.
Lin Yu remained silent.
He once felt sorry for his past self.
But compared to himself, he felt more sympathy for Rong'er.
Even though they were all motherless children, he did not lack help and care in the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion.
The old blind man even treated him like his own grandson.
He was much luckier than Rong'er...
What brought about this tragic fate?
It's hatred! The hatred of the previous generation has led to the tragedy of this generation.
Lin Yu slowly walked over and comforted her, "I know you're very sad, but please believe me, Aunt Nan still has a good relationship with you. She may be harsh with her words, but in her heart, she has already treated you like her own child!"
"Enough!"
Rong'er raised her head and looked at Lin Yu tremblingly.
Lin Yu saw disappointment in those sparkling eyes—yes, utter disappointment, utter despair for the world and for the people around him.
This kind of despair can make people grow up quickly, but at the same time, it can also make a person stop trusting anyone and anything.
Rong'er coldly said, "Master herself has already said that she kept me alive only to execute me in front of my biological father. In the end, I am nothing more than a tool for her. What feelings can there be?"
"From this day forward, I, Rong'er, will no longer trust anyone, and I will never trust you again!"
After shouting those words, Rong'er ran away, sobbing.
Lin Yu did not stop her, but just watched her back and sighed softly.
In this life, some wounds cannot be healed with just a few words.
Don't advise others to do good if you haven't experienced their suffering!
...
Two days passed quickly.
On the eve of the Wulin Feng Tournament.
More and more martial arts practitioners are moving into the area inside the pass.
The case of Xu Haoran's murder remains unexplained and shrouded in mystery.
Things have escalated to this point, and it's no longer a matter for any one party—Fenglei Martial Arts School, Wuying Sect, or Chen Yannan.
The affairs of the martial arts world are everyone's affairs!
The martial arts world needs justice!
As the leader of the martial arts alliance, Lin Yu must provide an explanation for this matter.
Lin Yu made no attempt to conceal the fact that the murderer had not been caught.
The one who could kill Xu Haoran silently must be an extremely powerful expert. If an extremely powerful expert deliberately hides himself, even Lin Yu would be helpless.
However, this matter eventually needs to be resolved.
He chose another approach—tripartite mediation!
The main figures involved in the mediation are, of course, Liu Jingwu, who was framed at the beginning of the case, Li Chengang, the deceased's mentor, and Chen Yannan, the owner of the murder weapon, the gold thread.
Chen Yannan denied this matter, saying that she would not admit to something she had not done.
If Lin Yu hadn't intervened, she wouldn't have bothered with the Shadowless Sect. After all, her cultivation level was such that even Liu and Li combined couldn't defeat her; there was no need for her to play such tricks.
Li Chengang naturally had his own concerns about this, but this did not completely dispel the suspicion surrounding Red Buddha's Hand.
The reason they were willing to sit down together peacefully was naturally to give Lin Yu face.
"Alliance Leader Lin, I trust your character! I can put this matter aside before the Martial Arts Tournament, but Haoran is my only disciple, and as his teacher, I must give him an explanation! So, after the tournament, I hope you can give me a clear result!" Li Chengang stared at Chen Yannan and said coldly.
Lin Yu nodded. "Since I've stepped in to mediate, I'll naturally take full responsibility for this matter. With the Martial Arts Tournament just around the corner, everyone's attention is focused on this issue. I've even received information that some southern forces are deliberately infiltrating and stirring up trouble. I've called everyone together today in the hope that you won't be disturbed by certain voices! Our northern martial arts world has experienced twenty years of turmoil, and it's time for some peace and quiet! No one should spread rumors that are detrimental to unity!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he took the initiative to raise his glass, and the three of them nodded, raised their glasses together, and took turns clinking glasses with Lin Yu.
When it was the three of them's turn to clink glasses, Chen Yannan ignored the other two and drank it all in one gulp.
Liu Jingwu glanced at Li Chengang, snorted, and turned his old face away.
In Liu Jingwu's eyes, Li Chengang was a traitor who betrayed his master's school and could not be forgiven.
Instead, Li Chengang spoke first, saying magnanimously, "Jingwu, I was deeply moved when you saved me last time. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Today, we should clear up this misunderstanding!"
“Didn’t you always think that I stole Master’s skills back then? Come and see this and you’ll know!” Li Chengang said, pulling out an old, yellowed book from his pocket.
Liu Jingwu turned his head and looked over, his eyes flickering slightly—"The Shadowless Divine Trail"
