Chapter 1658: Chapter 1276-1277: The Secret of the Blood Pill! The Martial World Is Not Free!
Lian Chengbi did not wish to debate further on this issue in front of the masses. Suddenly, he smiled gently, still appearing elegant, as if the evil personified as the blood dragon just moments ago never existed. He remained the aristocratic Young Master of Lian Family Castle and said calmly, "If you want people not to know, you mustn’t do it yourself. Xiao Shiyilang, you and I are the same kind of person. On what grounds can you criticize me?"
In fact, everyone has two sides, one good and one evil. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to accomplish great things or even survive.
Which side do you think you stand on?"
Xiao Shiyilang’s expression was unmoved, but his mind suddenly recalled Yang Kaitai’s unintended remark, "Xiao Shiyilang’s saber skill is like wind, thunder, and lightning, while Lian Chengbi’s swordsmanship is like a warm moon and spring breeze; one is hard and one is soft, both reaching the Peak."
At that time, he pretended not to be involved and replied, "One is extremely hard, the other extremely soft; they seem to be naturally opposed."
Was his response then not identical to what Lian Chengbi now spoke of the two sides of human nature?
His sorrow came from the misfortunes of his own destiny, while Lian Chengbi’s sorrow seemed derived from the fall caused by worldly temptations.
"If it weren’t for today’s events, you and I would have had a life-and-death battle!"
Lian Chengbi slowly spoke, his gaze shifting from Xiao Shiyilang to Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali looked at Xiao Shiyilang, then at Lian Chengbi, and suddenly found the situation amusing again.
A river and sea bandit is determined to care about Justice in the Martial World, while a Martial Arts nobleman, born from a famous family, becomes the source of evil.
What is justice, what is evil? What is the Martial World? It seems this is the Martial World!
In the Martial World, one cannot act freely. Sometimes, no matter what kind of person you want to be, you might not be able to become that person. The tides of the Martial World might push you in the opposite direction, making you become the very person you once hated.
Between right and wrong, is there not just this distinction? Merely a step apart.
But what does all this have to do with him? At his level of strength, whether right or wrong, who can intervene? When the waves of the Martial World crash upon him, they are shattered against his formidable body. He acts solely according to his own will.
Facing Lian Chengbi’s hopeful gaze, Jiang Dali shook his head and said, "If you wish to have a life-and-death duel with Xiao Shiyilang, I don’t object, but not now. After I’ve completed my affairs, I will offer you and Xiao Shiyilang a fair chance to battle! Until then..."
Jiang Dali surveyed the crowd, arms crossed with a smile, and said quietly, "Until then, if anyone from Lian Family Castle loses even a single strand of hair! Although I, the village chief, will not be terribly angry, I will certainly be displeased. At that time, all of you present will be responsible for my displeasure!"
Everyone felt a shiver down their spine upon seeing Jiang Dali’s muscular arm, thicker than a leg, all understanding that Jiang Dali was expressing his sincere stance to ensure Lian Chengbi’s cooperation.
The words of this master were as strong as his muscular physique; if displeased, who could bear it? They swiftly expressed with smiles their assurance of Lian Family Castle members’ safety.
Lian Chengbi smiled indifferently, clasped his fists in gratitude towards Jiang Dali.
"Since the matter here is resolved, without further delay, we shall embark tonight."
Jiang Dali reached out to pat Lian Chengbi’s shoulder, then turned to Zhu Wushi. The two exchanged smiles, their deep bond unspoken...
