There is no trace of emotion in the same empty words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Xiaoling's words were originally an answer to a question, but it sounded like a bigger question.

Perhaps, there is a question he has asked in his mind countless times.

Why is it him...... Why is it ...... him?

Is this "he" identity really just an enemy who destroyed the door? Or is it really that simple to be the benefactor who saved their brothers and sisters in the tragedy?

Why did Yang Xiaoling not even have the courage to avenge his family that day, when Yang Xiaoling faced that person.

Who did he see that day?

Murong Ke became more and more confused, gently rubbed his forehead with his hand, and said, "I still don't understand."

"Let's say so......", Yang Xiaoling asked lightly: "The reason why Duanmu Jing was able to successfully calculate his predecessors back then was because he found a rather terrible helper"?

Murong Ke nodded and said: "There is no doubt about this, if it weren't for that black-clothed masked man, with Duanmu Jing's own strength, he wouldn't be qualified to take me down."

"The matter can be completely justified here", Yang Xiaoling finally straightened out all his thoughts.

"Oh, how do you say it", Murong Ke's eyes lit up.

Yang Xiaoling froze and said, "Back then, that person first joined forces with Duanmu Jing to get rid of your predecessor, and then Duanmu Jing successfully took over as the head of the sect by virtue of his popularity and status in the Ethereal Peak, so far, he is already in charge of the entire Ethereal Peak. A few years later, that person and Duanmu Jing struck again, creating the tragic disaster of Qingshui Villa. In this way, the two largest forces in the martial arts have all fallen into their hands."

"This ......is absolutely impossible", Murong Ke suddenly became excited, and said loudly: "Impossible"?

Yang Xiaoling asked very coldly: "Why is it impossible"?

"As the head of the righteous path in the world, Ethereal Peak is in the same vein as Qingshui Villa, how can it be the creator of the tragedy of Qingshui Villa's annihilation"?

At this moment, Murong Ke was still maintaining the Ethereal Peak.

"The right path ......", Yang Xiaoling mocked: "Do the seniors think that there is really a righteous way in this world?" Or did the predecessors think that there is really a right and wrong thing in this world"?

"Of course ......," Murong Ke immediately replied: "The people in my Ethereal Peak have always acted above board, chivalrous and warm-hearted, and are praised by the people of the rivers and lakes. It is precisely because of the belief in morality that Ethereal Peak can become the status of the first major faction in martial arts. Just think ......".

The old man looked at Yang Xiaoling with soft eyes and said, "It's not that I'm defending the Ethereal Peak, my Ethereal Peak Founding Patriarch was originally a disciple of a peasant family under the mountain, but in fact, at the beginning of the Ethereal Peak's Creation Sect, there were only three or five people in the door. If my Ethereal Peak is really the same as other sects in this world, if it weren't for the fact that my Ethereal Peak disciples have always believed in morality, helping the needy, punishing adultery and eliminating evil...... and how can we reach such heights today".

Yang Xiaoling could see that when the old man said these words, he looked calm on the surface, but he was still excited in his heart. Or rather, it's a sense of pride that comes from the bottom of my bones.

"Maybe it's ......", Yang Xiaoling smiled faintly and said: "Maybe Ethereal Peak was indeed a respectable sect in the past, and the people of Ethereal Peak were also some chivalrous and good people, but ......."

"Are you trying to say that people change"?

"Not bad. Not only people, everything in this world will change ......", Yang Xiaoling sighed: "Perhaps, many people in the Ethereal Peak were indeed good people in the past, but everything will never be the same. Please ask yourself, in such a big family, there really won't be so many people who sell their fame and reputation. They wear a mask of hypocrisy and are full of benevolence and morality, but in fact they are talking about it and doing it in their hearts. They use disguised hypocrisy to deceive the respect of the world, but what they do is the act of a villain who knows no deception."

"No, ......", Murong Ke immediately retorted: "Although it is said that the world is impermanent, people's hearts are unpredictable. But I believe that some things and some people, no matter how many things have changed, no matter how many years have passed, will still be the same."

Yang Xiaoling smiled nonchalantly: "The truth I said is actually understood by the predecessors, but you don't want to admit it."

"You...... , I'm ......", Murong Ke was choked by Yang Xiaoling's words, and if he wanted to defend himself, he didn't know how to speak, so he had to wave his hand and said helplessly: "Maybe you're right, but I still believe in Ethereal Peak, just like I believe in myself."

Perhaps, Murong Ke actually agreed with Yang Xiaoling's statement in his heart for a long time, but he was still stubborn himself.

"Huh...... , the seniors said that you believe in the people of the Ethereal Peak......", it seemed that Murong Ke's words were really funny, Yang Xiaoling smiled inexplicably, and the next words made Murong Ke speechless.

He sneered and asked, "What about Duanmu Jing"?

Murong Ke was speechless.

Yang Xiaoling asked reluctantly: "The seniors said that all the people in your Ethereal Peak are chivalrous and hot-hearted, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and respect the gentleman husband of morality, what does Duanmu Jing say." A person who can unite with outsiders to poison his senior brother for the sake of power can also be regarded as above board"?

Murong Ke had nothing to say, so he simply turned around, obviously being poked in the sore spot by Yang Xiaoling.

"Why, the seniors think I'm not right"?

Yang Xiaoling was already a little aggressive.

"You're right......", Murong Ke was silent for a while and finally spoke: "Yes, Duanmu Jing is indeed a villain, but what you said is just his actions alone, and it does not mean that the entire people of Ethereal Peak are like this."

"Is it?" ...... , Yang Xiaoling changed the topic and said coldly: "The predecessor said that Duanmu Jing was born in a merchant family, so the scheming city government is naturally deeper than ordinary people, but is this the case"?

Murong Ke could only admit it.

Yang Xiaoling continued: "In other words, the external environment has a great impact on a person's personality and character"?

Murong Ke nodded and said, "Exactly."

"As the saying goes, at the beginning of a person, nature is inherently good......", Yang Xiaoling said again: "Therefore, I believe that human nature is inherently good." I don't think anyone is born a bad person, and no one is born a good person, and everyone's moral values are formed in the environment in which he later lived.

"It's really ......", Murong Ke couldn't refute it, so he had to agree: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black, this is an eternal axiom."

"Then ......", Yang Xiaoling's eyes were like torches, staring straight at Murong Ke. After taking a deep breath, he asked sharply: "So, I want to ask the seniors, if it weren't for the fact that everyone in the Ethereal Peak regarded themselves as superior and treated the inferior people coldly, which led to everyone in the sect vying for power and trying to override others, would Duanmu Jing become like that?"

Murong Ke was silent.

"In other words......", Yang Xiaoling's tone was already as if he was questioning, and said: "If Duanmu Jing hadn't grown up in an environment like Ethereal Peak, where everyone was vying for fame and fortune, would he have become unscrupulous for power, and he would have become so desperate to get what he wanted, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, that he would completely ignore the brotherly love and the righteousness of his comrades, and kill you, the senior brother?"

"Haha......", Murong Ke smiled bitterly, feeling confused, confused, painful, and even a little resentful.

Although nineteen years have passed, it is absolutely impossible to say that Murong Ke's resentment towards Duanmu Jing has been completely eliminated. Because, after all, he is only a person, not a god, and as long as he is a human being, he will have emotions.

Love and hate are inherently interdependent. Love and hatred, isn't it all the emotions of a normal person.

However, although time did not allow the wound to heal completely, the resentment finally faded in the years.
