Chapter 270.2
Lian Chengyuan frowned and said, “I don’t quite understand what young master Feng means.”
Feng Shao continued, “In the final analysis, Miss Lian’s tragedy is just a microcosm of the struggle between the sects of the righteous path and the sects of the devil dao. If she wasn’t a disciple of the devil dao sect, she wouldn’t have to suffer such a disaster. Sect Master Lian, I believe you should have thought about that issue too.”
Lian Chengyuan’s eyes flickered, and after a long time, he sighed and smiled bitterly, “Young master Feng is really right in his words, which is admirable.”
Feng Shao looked at him quietly.
Lian Chengyuan cast his eyes on Lian Yingying who was lying on the bed of ice, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
He murmured, “The battle between righteousness and evil has a long history, and it has long been difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong. When I first founded Asura Dao, I had great ambitions and even thought about unifying the entire Beizhou. Chongyang Sword Sect and these famous and decent sects can be all overthrown. How high-spirited I was at that time! Even though I knew that this path would inevitably be full of thorns and blood, I did not hesitate or waver at all.”
Speaking of this, Lian Chengyuan’s tone suddenly became sad, “But it was not until later that I realized that the reason why I was able to be so fearless at that time was because I had no worries. Without any worries, I naturally feel that I can bear everything and all the consequences. If I had known this earlier, then I would not have anything to do with Yingying’s mother, that way, I wouldn’t implicate her…”
Feng Shao whispered, “Miss Lian’s mother must be a gentle woman, right?”
Lian Chengyuan smiled, “You are right, she is a very gentle person. When we first met, she often persuaded me to kill fewer people and to forgive others. Naturally, I dismissed the words and thought it was a woman’s opinion. If I show mercy to others, others may not show mercy to me! So the two of us often quarrel about it, and she will continue to ignore me for several days because of it, and I can only coax her in turn…
“Later, when Yingying was born, she didn’t quarrel with me very much, but she became more merciful than before. Many times, she didn’t even want to kill a small animal, and she didn’t look like a disciple of a devil dao sect at all. She often told me that it doesn’t matter if she dies, but Yingying must be safe.“At that time, I didn’t understand what she meant. On the contrary, I felt that Yingying could grow up safely only if I was strong enough. So not only did I not restrain myself, but my attacks became more and more fierce. There are more and more disciples joining the Asura Dao. But when I became more and more satisfied, an accident happened.
“At that time, I led Asura Dao disciples to ambush a group of disciples from the Chongyang Sword Sect. When I brought them back, I heard from disciples in the sect that Yingying’s mother took people to a nearby city to buy medicine, but had an incident with disciples of Ziqing Sacred Land. Because of the powerful enemy, Yingying’s mother stayed behind to let the disciples escape, and finally died in the hands of Ziqing Sacred Land’s disciples.”
Speaking of this, Lian Chengyuan said with self-mockery, “It’s ridiculous that I didn’t understand until then why Yingying’s mother always advised me to be forgiving and merciful. But unfortunately, it was too late.”
Feng Shao asked suddenly, “Then after Miss Lian’s accident, even the sect master should have some other thoughts in his heart, right?”
Lian Chengyuan sighed and said, “To be honest, young master Feng, in fact, since Yingying’s mother’s accident, I have already regretted it in my heart. It’s just that in this position, many things have become difficult. Even if I don’t want to be an enemy of the sects of the righteous path anymore, the sects of the righteous path won’t let me go. So I can only go on this road, and go to the dark. But no matter what, no matter what happens, I hope Yingying can be safe and sound, and don’t repeat her mother’s tragedy again.”
Feng Shao spoke back, “But the battle between righteousness and evil in Beizhou is not so easy to end. As long as Miss Lian stays in Asura Dao, the tragedy of a year ago will repeat itself sooner or later. I believe the sect master should have thought about this and understood this a little.”
Lian Chengyuan said helplessly, “That’s right. But what can I do?”
Feng Shao pondered, “Even the sect master, with his great ability, can’t cover the heavens with his hands in Beizhou. But if it’s in Dongzhou, the hands of the righteous forces of Beizhou must not be able to reach out. If the sect master really doesn’t hope for Miss Lian to be involved in the battle between good and evil in Beizhou, the sect master can let Miss Lian come to Dongzhou.”
Lian Chengyuan’s eyes widened immediately, “Really? Young master Feng is willing to protect my little girl?”
Feng Shao glanced at Lian Yingying and Liu Shou and said calmly, “Miss Lian sacrificed herself for her lover, and I admire her very much. In addition, brother Liu Shou and I are inseparable, having recognized each other as brothers, so what difficulty is there in being a guarantor for them two?”
After hesitating for a while, Lian Chengyuan finally made up his mind and nodded emphatically, “If so, I will be grateful to young master Feng!”
After all, Lian Chengyuan was still reluctant to part with his daughter. But the beloved child of the parents can’t always follow their far-reaching plans for their child. As long as there is a way to keep his daughter from being implicated in the battle between righteousness and evil in Beizhou, then he can give up some things!
