Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 743 Dong Chang: Do you think I’m the kind of person who made a brotherhood with his brother but then said he regretted it and agreed to kill his brother?
"What do you mean there's one last thing? Didn't I just promise that this was the last one?"

This time it was Lu Huizhong's turn to be startled by Dong Chang's strange actions.

"Ah, no, then no." Dong Chang was so scared that he knelt down again.

Lu Huizhong glanced at them, but she didn't have the ability to read minds like He Songling, so she didn't know what these guys were thinking, so she could only say, "Finally, the two of you are not allowed to go out, go down the mountain, or see your sworn brothers, especially Wu Gensheng, for ten years."

"Oh, that's it, no problem." This time Dong Chang and Xu Xin could finally pat their chests and say "that's it".

Although he did not experience those life-and-death situations, Xu Xin felt that he had done something wrong in the original work, and it was not because he was afraid of death - he was a killer who dared to break into the Japanese position, and he was not a person who was afraid of death.

But after Xu Xin came back, he saw the attitude of the crowd, especially reflected on his impulsiveness at that time, and felt from the bottom of his heart that he had really done something wrong. He could be friends with Wu Gensheng, or he could be friends with those people, but swearing brotherhood had different meanings in the minds of those who were in the underworld.

Just like what he said to Zhang Chulan later, your grandfather and I are sworn brothers, but which of my fellow disciples and I in the sect don't burn incense and worship the same ancestor? We even saved our lives for Yang Lie, who was killed by your grandfather!
Fortunately, he was lucky this time and didn't have to face the difficult choice of "killing the thirty-six thieves with his own hands". He was already regretting and reflecting on his actions. Even if he had to kill Wu Gensheng, he would not be reluctant to do it, not to mention that he had only stayed away from the mountain and not seen anyone for ten years.

"Dong Chang, what about you?" Lu Huizhong turned her head and looked at Dong Chang.

Xu Xin knew that this guy was actually very similar to Feng Ping of the Huode Sect sometimes, both of them would lose their minds when they got excited. But the difference was that Feng Ping never regretted what he did, while Xu Xin would easily lose his mind when he got excited.

But Dong Chang is different.

Dong Chang was older, much older than Xu Xin. He was much calmer than Xu Xin in both age and mentality. Xu Xin might have been in the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains at that time, had a big drink and was very happy, and became angry and sworn brotherhood, but Dong Chang definitely thought it over carefully.

He will not regret anything he has done.

"I..." Dong Chang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then let me ask, are our other brothers and sisters in danger?"

"I don't know." Lu Huizhong told the truth. "When your uncle He met at the Wudang Mountain, he proposed that the Thirty-Six Bandits should be treated as their own business. They should be exempted from being treated as public enemies of the righteous path and attacked by all the righteous sects in the world. But it's hard to say how each sect will deal with it behind closed doors."

Lu Huizhong had no intention of deceiving Dong Chang about this matter. She heard that the thirty-six thieves swore brotherhood because Wu Gensheng advocated "honesty" and he thought that you guys were also "honest"? Then she wanted to show these "thieves" that it was not only him who was honest, and it was not only those who were recognized by Wu Gensheng who were honest.

She can also be honest, everyone can be honest, but can you afford the price of "honesty", the price of knowing the truth?

"I can also tell you that although He Songling said so, on the surface, everyone will not treat them as public enemies and kill them all, but there are countless people who have grudges against Quanxing and Quanxing has grudges against our righteous path. Not only are you and Wu Gensheng sworn brothers, which are considered as betrayals of the righteous path by many people; Wu Gensheng's sworn brotherhood with you will also be considered as betrayals of Quanxing by Quanxing."

Lu Huizhong spoke the cruel truth in a cold voice: "In the future, you may be treated as enemies by the whole world. People who don't like your righteousness of sworn brotherhood with Quan Xing Sect Leader and think that you should know the traitor Quan Xing and his sworn brother, as well as conspirators with ulterior motives who think you have gained some benefits from Quan Xing Sect Leader, will all want to kill you. He Songling only said that he would not allow people to kill you on the charge of 'sworn brotherhood with Wu Gensheng', but in this turbulent time, who doesn't fight and kill? Who can guarantee that their head will still be on their shoulders tomorrow? Even if He Songling is a god, he can't stop all the aliens from fighting and killing with just one word."

"This..." After hearing this, Dong Chang broke out in a cold sweat. He had already stood up, but now he knelt down again.

"Well, this is the situation. I have explained it to you truthfully. In your words, this is called 'honesty'. He Songling told me that old fellow Wu Gensheng divided people into four categories. I should be considered the 'fourth category' in his words."

Lu Huizhong walked up to Dong Chang, looked down at him and asked, "Dong Chang, have you thought it through? You can disagree with the Tang Sect's judgment and insist on going down the mountain, no problem. I will announce that you will be expelled from the Tang Sect directly, and you will be treated the same as Gao Gen back then. Whether the future is a blessing or a disaster, life or death, whether you can help your brothers and sisters, and how to go forward, it all depends on you."

"I...this...I...the head of the sect..." Dong Chang's face was covered with cold sweat. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, breaking the floor tiles in the hall.

“I stayed on the mountain.”

?

Everyone present slowly asked a question mark. Even He Songling and Lu Huizhong, a couple with a bad taste, almost broke their back because of Dong Chang's operation.

"No, buddy, you are so sad. I thought you were going to risk the world's condemnation and betray the Tang Sect to save them?" The Tang Sect has now learned bad things from He Songling. Zhang Wang jumped up and slapped Dong Chang on the back of the head: "So you want to stay in the mountains, then why are you doing this!"

"Then I gave up the safety of my sworn brothers, didn't see them for ten years, and hid in the mountains by myself. This also requires a lot of determination and courage, right?"

Dong Chang argued: "Do you think I won't feel bad if I betray my brothers? I'd rather learn from the three sworn brothers in Peach Garden than from the one incense burner in Wagang. Sworn brothers are brothers of the opposite sex, just like family members. Do you think I'm the kind of person who swore an oath of brotherhood and then regretted and wanted to withdraw, or even killed my own brothers for the sake of my own interests or the interests of my own forces? Do you think I'm that kind of shameless thing?"

"???"

Xu Xin had a question mark on his forehead, and he pulled Zhang Wang to ask: "Did he scold me, or did he not scold me?"

"Ah? I didn't?"

"Bullshit! You're just short of telling me my birth date. Mr. Dong, I'm going to fight you!"

In less than a moment, the two men were chasing and fleeing and fighting each other.
