Chapter 19 So that's how it is...
Chapter Nineteen: So That's How It Is
"Oh~~~" Everyone exclaimed in realization.
They all clearly remembered that Lin Yuantu had made a name for himself in the martial arts world before marrying his wife. No one suspected that Lin Yuantu had any problems; after all, they were all men, and no one thought that they would want to raise a child who wasn't their own.
Who would have thought that Lin Yuantu... well, that's understandable, understandable. After all, having a child is better than not having one. However... their gaze then turned to Lin Zhennan.
It's not good that this isn't his own child, especially since such a huge secret has been revealed. What will people think of Lin Yuantu now? Although he's dead, his reputation still lives on.
Did Lin Zhennan understand the way those people were looking at him? Of course he did. But he had no choice. These people had been coveting the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual for so many years. If he didn't explain things clearly and pass on this hot potato, the Fuwei Escort Agency would be finished.
He was willing to die to protect his ancestors' possessions, but he couldn't drag his wife, children, and the entire hundred-plus people of the Fuwei Escort Agency down with him. Previously, a delicate balance had been maintained among them; Lin Zhennan was willing to withstand the pressure to protect the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique.
But now, the shameless Yu Canghai has disrupted this delicate balance. If Lin Zhennan doesn't want to die, he has no choice but to sacrifice something. He sacrificed his ancestor's reputation, which is indeed a disgrace to him.
Lin Zhennan thought to himself, "When he passes away, I will definitely kowtow to him and apologize."
"We don't want this Evil-Repelling Sword Manual anymore." Lin Pingzhi rushed out from behind the door. "Whoever wants it can take it, but don't come looking for trouble with our Fuwei Escort Agency." He glanced at the lines drawn by the Qingcheng Sect on the ground, which were already somewhat messy, and his eyes were filled with tears. "We, the Fuwei Escort Agency, are just ordinary people trying to make a living. If you want the sword manual, take it, but don't come and kill us."
Ling Hao: "!!!"
She looked at Lin Pingzhi with a slightly shocked expression. Something's not right, is he acting strangely? Wasn't Lin Pingzhi supposed to be a hot-blooded young master? How come he's suddenly become so effeminate? If he were thrown into West Lake, everyone around the lake would be able to enjoy a pot of fragrant Biluochun tea.
Could it be that the pressure on Lin Pingzhi from last night to today has been too great, to the point that he has become abnormal?
Lin Zhennan and his wife behind the door were also somewhat surprised, but remembering how Lin Pingzhi would trick others into giving him candy by crying when he was little, they weren't surprised. Although they had later changed their ways, it wasn't surprising that he would still do it.
"You want to kill someone?"
"We didn't intend to kill anyone."
"Young Master Lin, did you hear this rumor from somewhere? We are a reputable sect, and we don't kill people randomly."
The group quickly denied it. Although they had recovered somewhat, they were still in great pain all over, especially where they had been kicked. They were worried that they would be beaten up again by Ling; this young girl was really heavy-handed despite her young age.
In fact, Ling Hao had held back her strength; if she had used her full power, these people wouldn't have been able to recover at all.
“Even if it’s murder, they wouldn’t wipe out the whole family. That would sound terrible if word got out, and they’d be seen as a heretic.” One person accidentally spoke the truth, and the two people next to him immediately rolled over, pinned him down, and gagged him.
If you can't speak, then don't speak. He wants to die, but they don't!
Lin Pingzhi: "..."
His parents talked about justice in the martial arts world and righteous sects, but in his opinion, none of them were good people.
Lin Zhennan and his wife: "..."
I know you're after the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, but don't go too far.
"The Qingcheng Sect has surrounded the Fuwei Escort Agency, allowing only entry and forbidding exit, with death for those who cross the line. Isn't this annihilation?" Ling Hao raised his long sword, pointing it at Yu Canghai, who had already fainted from anger. "Gentlemen, the Qingcheng Sect acts like this, yet still claims to be a righteous sect. Isn't this a disgrace to you? If people who don't know the inside story hear about it in the future, they'll think that you people are just like the Qingcheng Sect, coveting others' ancestral sword manuals and wanting to annihilate and steal them."
She said it on purpose; of course she knew these people were no good, and they were also after the Fuwei Escort Agency. These scoundrels were only slightly better than Yu Canghai; it's just that they weren't as rotten as Yu Canghai.
However, the focus now is not on making enemies of everyone, but on getting the Fuwei Escort Agency through this difficult time. Therefore, what Linghao needs to do is to divide these people, make them think that they were dragged down by Yu Canghai, and make them resent him.
As long as these people don't unite against the Fuwei Escort Agency, things will be somewhat resolved. Especially now that the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual has been distributed, the Lin family is no longer special, and the Fuwei Escort Agency should no longer be their target. The only concern is that some ambitious individuals might try to drag the Fuwei Escort Agency down with them, such as Yu Canghai.
“We are not that despicable Yu Canghai.”
"He's never had a good temper."
"That's right, he's held a grudge against me ever since because of a cup of tea. I just forgot to pour him some!"
Chattering and chattering. Although not all the men were able to get up, their mouths were now free, and they began to defend themselves incessantly, trying to distance themselves from Yu Canghai. Since they had already gotten what they wanted, they naturally couldn't afford to ruin their own and their sect's reputation.
Unlike the Sun Moon Cult and the Ming Cult, who are considered evil cults and don't care about their reputation at all, they still have a sense of shame!
Ling Hao watched with satisfaction as these people severed ties with Yu Canghai, and also with satisfaction as he saw the still-conscious Qingcheng Sect disciples looking terrified. They had been so arrogant when they surrounded the Fuwei Escort Agency; now it was a case of getting their just desserts.
She turned her head and nodded slightly to the three members of the Lin family, indicating that there should be no further problems.
The three members of the Lin family breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, their lives were saved; they didn't care about anything else.
"Senior Brother is amazing!" Yue Lingshan admired Ling Hao even more. If Yue Buqun hadn't said it wasn't appropriate to go out now, she definitely would have rushed out to acknowledge her relatives.
Yue Buqun's face was extremely grim. Sword Sect disciples? How could the Sword Sect still have disciples? How come the Sword Sect wasn't all dead yet! Damn the Sword Sect, damn Feng Qingyang!
Further away, a person dressed in red and wearing a veiled hat looked at Ling Hao. The wind blew, and the veiled hat was slightly lifted, revealing half of her jade-like face.
