Over here, Long Ye didn't want to argue with Tian Ning anymore. He couldn't take it anymore and said, "What's the point of you saying all this nonsense?!"
"nonsense?"
Tian Ning's expression turned serious. She looked at Long Ye with sharp eyes: "If I were really as you say, with the demonic cultivators invading and the six sects in dire straits, and I wanted to survive, I could have offered the demonic sword to the demonic cultivators to save my life! But I didn't. I chose a more difficult path and stood up! Knowing that the hope was slim, I still tried... even if there was only a slight chance, I still tried my best to save everyone's lives, just so that everyone could live!"
“Long Ye, you can take this favor for granted and act as if nothing happened, after all, you only have Wenren Xue in your heart. But to cross the river and then burn the bridge, to turn around and bite the hand that saved your life, I don’t know what you’re thinking? Do you even have a brain?”
Hearing the brat's words, Long Ye felt a surge of tension and instinctively took a step back.
Of course he knew that Tianning had saved everyone in the secret realm. He went to watch the recording stone replay, and from the initial disbelief to the disbelief, he finally just thought that this brat had an exceptionally sharp tongue.
He felt that Tianning's main concern was saving her senior brothers and sisters, and only secondarily the disciples of the Six Sects, while he and Xue'er were just incidental. So how could they be considered to have done her a favor?
But he did indeed suffer.
Especially after this unspoken understanding was revealed, she surprisingly felt a sense of shame, her face flushed, and she dared not meet his gaze.
Fortunately, the people around them were also filled with many thoughts because of the Tianning dialect.
People are always complex. When the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect said that Tian Ning exhausted his spiritual power to save people and was forced to form a pact with the Demon Sword, most people still felt that Tian Ning should make a vow to Heaven. But when it came to being rescued in the secret realm, these people began to empathize.
"Actually, what she said is right. Anyone who has saved so many cultivators' lives would face such questioning in return... It's impossible for anyone not to care." It's inevitable to have a knot in one's heart.
"But a demonic sword is a demonic sword! If it harbors even the slightest evil thought, it will bring calamity to the world in the future!"
"That can't be generalized. 'Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free'—how is that any different from demonic cultivators?"
...
The disciples discussed the matter one after another, but even the sect leader couldn't easily reach a conclusion. Let alone the current disciples, they couldn't come up with a solution after discussing it for a long time.
This situation is quite similar to the scene in some TV dramas where the female lead sees through people's hearts and turns evil, except that there is no male lead. However, Tian Ning did not turn evil. On the contrary, he was in a good emotional state and even seriously criticized Long Ye.
"Since ancient times, the dragon race has been a symbol of nobility, proud and arrogant. They would never be as filthy as you, colluding with villains to frame others!" Tian Ning did not believe that Long Ye knew nothing about Wenren Xue's plan. He was just blinded by love and automatically filtered it out. Now, she was going to tear off the dragon's veil of shame.
Tianning: "If you had even a shred of conscience, you should be remorsefully apologizing to me!"
Long Ye: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Once again, I wonder, what exactly did the Demon Sword take a liking to her about?
The fact that one can still reason logically and persuasively at such a time demonstrates remarkable mental fortitude.
Long Ye instinctively wanted to argue, but when he met those eyes full of disappointment, he suddenly froze.
He had seen that look before; it was the look his father gave him when he was disappointed in his own abilities. He was very young then, but he knew that he had probably done something wrong and disappointed his father.
Tianning's eyes held the disappointment of someone beyond redemption.
This guy's completely fallen into Wenren Xue's pond and can't get out. Good luck to him...
