Bloodstained Hero's Clothes

Chapter 1255 A Brainstorm to Obtain Three Promises (Part 4)
Qi Yang couldn't understand it at all, so he asked Ling'er, "Why did you put the thin rope away, Miss?"

"It's not time to use it yet," Ling'er replied.

"Has the young lady already forgiven me?" Qi Yang asked expectantly.

"Didn't I just say that it's not that easy for me to forgive you?" Ling'er secretly observed Yang-gege's reaction and, sure enough, saw his face fall again.

"May I ask you to elaborate, young lady?" Qi Yang asked.

"If you agree to three things, I will forgive you," Ling'er quickly stated her conditions.

"What three things?" Qi Yang had a gut feeling that they were three extremely difficult things to accomplish.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I do!" Ling'er was still making her own plans.

"No. I cannot comply." Qi Yang bowed and refused.

"Hey!" Ling'er exclaimed anxiously, "Didn't you say you'd do anything I asked? Why are you changing your mind so quickly?"

"That's...that's different," Qi Yang hurriedly explained.

"How is it different?" Ling'er asked unhappily.

"How can I agree if you don't tell me what you want me to do?" Qi Yang explained softly, afraid of angering Ling'er again.

"So you were worried I'd send you to commit murder and arson?" Ling'er said helplessly.

Of course not! Qi Yang knew Ling'er wasn't that kind of person, but he couldn't give her that answer. If he could use that as a reason to refuse Ling'er's request, then he would choose to acquiesce.

"Say something!" Ling'er was annoyed by Yang-gege's silence.

“If you don’t tell me what you want me to do, please forgive me for not being able to agree,” Qi Yang stated again. Seeing that her brother Yang was resolute, Ling’er could only soften her tone and explain, “I won’t ask you to do anything bad. If you feel that what I ask you to do is against morality, you can refuse at any time.”

Ling'er has really taken a big step back. Qi Yang secretly glanced at Ling'er and couldn't help but waver.

Ling'er grew increasingly anxious as she waited for Yang Gege's reply.

“You can refuse to do anything you feel you shouldn’t do.” Ling’er conceded again. She suddenly remembered that Doctor Lu had mentioned that Brother Yang valued the sect rules very much, and added, “For example, violating the sect rules or something.”

Qi Yang was taken aback; Ling'er had compromised again. But there were some things that neither violated martial arts ethics nor sect rules, yet he couldn't agree to them.

Still not willing? Ling'er was a little discouraged. She was just short of saying, "You can refuse to do anything you don't want to do."

Ling'er waited for a while, but seeing that her brother Yang still looked troubled and remained silent, she was annoyed and left with the words "Then forget it" before turning around and walking inside.

"Hey! Miss..." Qi Yang hurriedly called out to Ling'er.

Ling'er was overjoyed, but instead of stopping, she quickened her pace.

Qi Yang quickly chased after him and conceded, "I agree."

Ling'er turned around happily and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond." After saying that, she extended her right little finger to Brother Yang.

Seeing the drastic change in Ling'er's attitude, Qi Yang immediately regretted his words. But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take them back. He could only extend his right hand and make a pinky promise with Ling'er, and even stamp it on her hand.

Only then did Ling'er feel completely relieved. Brother Yang was a man of his word; whatever he promised, he would always keep.

In truth, regardless of any promise he made to Ling'er, Qi Yang would do everything in his power to obtain anything Ling'er desired, even the moon in the sky, except for those secrets buried deep in his heart. Some of those secrets he didn't want to reveal, and some he couldn't reveal. At this moment, he could only cling to a sliver of hope, wishing that Ling'er would never touch upon them.

Each with their own thoughts, they both walked inside without prior arrangement.
