Chapter 19 was your own choice, wasn't it?
Qian Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute.
He addressed Linghu Chong as "Young Master Linghu" repeatedly, leaving Linghu Chong speechless and unable to respond for a moment.
Is that enough?
Of course, that's not enough!
Given the numerous evil deeds Tian Boguang committed, even if he were to be torn to pieces, his death would not be a pity.
However, Linghu Chong's inner thoughts were extremely conflicted!
He knew that Tian Boguang was a bad person and that he had committed many evil deeds, but just because Tian Boguang and he were of the same mind, he would value Tian Boguang as a confidant even more.
So much so that any mistakes Tian Boguang had made in the past would no longer seem unforgivable in his eyes!
Ultimately.
It's true that Linghu Chong has some chivalrous spirit;
But in essence, he is an extremely self-centered person!
So even though Qian Chen had put it this way, Linghu Chong still didn't give up on Tian Boguang. He even took the initiative to exonerate Tian Boguang, saying, "As the saying goes, the sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore. It is true that Brother Tian has committed many evil deeds, but after this ordeal, I believe he will definitely turn to good in the future."
"My friend, why are you being so aggressive?"
Qian Chen was immediately amused and retorted, "Me, being aggressive? Young Master Linghu's thought process is truly unique!"
Linghu Chong naturally didn't understand what brain circuits were, but he wasn't stupid either. After all, the sarcasm in Qian Chen's words was practically etched onto his forehead.
He was also a proud and arrogant man, and naturally unwilling to swallow this insult: "I don't know where I have offended you, brother, to provoke such cold ridicule. We are all men of the martial world, why not speak frankly instead of beating around the bush and resorting to insults?"
Qian Chen chuckled, "Just say what you want to say? Aren't you just asking for a scolding? Is this how Yue Buqun taught you?"
"A esteemed disciple of the esteemed Gentleman Sword Sect has actually mingled with such a lecherous scoundrel, and even risked his reputation to protect him. Don't you have any shame? Doesn't the Huashan Sect care about its reputation either?"
Linghu Chong's expression suddenly changed. The Huashan Sect still held some weight in his heart, and he was unwilling to let its reputation be damaged as a result: "This is my private matter, Linghu Chong's. What does it have to do with the Huashan Sect? Brother, please don't speak nonsense!"
"You think I'm talking nonsense?" Qian Chen mercilessly exposed Linghu Chong's little scheme. "Young Master Linghu, such a shrewd person, why are you pretending to be stupid with me now?"
"Young Master Linghu is the chief disciple of the prestigious Huashan Sect, practically the designated successor to the sect's leadership. Don't you realize that your every word and action represents the Huashan Sect?"
Linghu Chong silently bit his lower lip. This was the cause and effect he had been deliberately avoiding. "One person does the deed, and one person takes the blame. I, Linghu Chong, will naturally bear the full responsibility for my actions."
"There can only ever be one person who truly represents the Huashan Sect!"
"That is my master—the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun!"
Qian Chen sighed, feeling quite helpless.
Indeed, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep!
He shook his head, saying helplessly, "Fine, fine! If Young Master Linghu is willing to deceive himself, then so be it!"
Qian Chen waved his hand, then changed the subject the next second.
"but!"
"To spare Tian Boguang is absolutely out of the question!"
"Even if I could spare him today, which of the innocent women he harmed would agree to let him go today?"
Linghu Chong's face darkened. He hadn't expected Qian Chen's attitude to be so resolute. Just as he was feeling troubled, he turned his head and caught sight of Yi Lin, who looked completely bewildered, standing by the roadside.
He was naturally quick-witted; his eyes darted around, and an idea immediately formed in his mind. He then bowed respectfully to Qian Chen:
"What if one of the victims agrees to spare his life?"
Qian Chen was slightly taken aback. He also saw the innocent and adorable Yi Lin. He immediately realized what was happening and was speechless.
By North!
A chosen one of destiny, yet he always resorts to petty tricks!
This time, Linghu Chong had learned his lesson. Before Qian Chen could answer, he spoke first, cupping his hands in greeting to Yilin and saying with a smile, "Junior Sister Yilin, you are the person involved, and you know the whole story."
"As the saying goes, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' I wonder if Junior Sister Yilin can give him a chance to repent?"
When Yilin was suddenly called out by Linghu Chong, she was completely at a loss, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes, and her porcelain-white face turned bright red instantly.
"Huh? Senior Brother Linghu, I...I don't know!"
A hint of urgency flashed in Linghu Chong's eyes, fearing that Qian Chen might suddenly change his mind. He could only try to force Yilin to give him the answer he wanted through words: "Junior Sister Yilin, the Hengshan Sword Sect has always been dedicated to understanding Buddhist principles. Even if Tian Boguang is a villain, he has now shown remorse. Can you really turn a blind eye to that?"
"My junior sister's words today have saved a life! Her future good deeds will be a blessing from the seeds she sowed today!"
"I wonder if Junior Sister Yilin could spare him on behalf of the many innocent victims, and grant him a chance to abandon darkness and embrace the light?"
Yilin felt completely helpless and flustered.
From the bottom of her heart, she naturally loathed Tian Boguang, a shameless lecher who ruined people's reputations and harmed their lives.
However, she had been following the Hengshan Sect since childhood, practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures. She had never seen the ugliness of human nature in the world, and her heart was pure and extremely kind. Naturally, she was unwilling to sit idly by and watch Tian Boguang lose his life.
Moreover, with Linghu Chong deliberately guiding her, after a moment's thought, she took the initiative to approach Qian Chen, put her hands together and bowed, "This humble monk Yilin greets benefactor. I am grateful for your help in saving my life."
Qian Chen nodded slightly and smiled, "Young master, there's no need for such formality! It's only right to help those in need!"
Yilin looked at Qian Chen nervously, her heart racing uncontrollably. Before she could speak again, her head spun and she could barely utter a word.
Unlike Linghu Chong's unrestrained and bold demeanor, Qian Chen's temperament is more like that of a banished immortal, ethereal and otherworldly, naturally possessing a mysterious attraction for young girls.
Seeing this, Linghu Chong felt a pang of sadness and quickly coughed to remind Yilin.
Yilin realized her lapse in composure and blushed with embarrassment. In her panic, she stammered, "Benefactor...Benefactor, Yilin has...a request. Although Tian Boguang has done wrong, he has shown remorse. Could...could you spare his life?"
Qian Chen sighed. He hadn't expected Linghu Chong to take advantage of this opportunity, but he was a man of his word and wouldn't go so far as to offend Yilin by continuing to fuss over such a trivial matter.
"Since the young master has pleaded for him, then there's nothing wrong with it. We'll spare his life today." Qian Chen agreed with a smile, then said to Linghu Chong, "Young Master Linghu, you may take him away!"
Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around to help Tian Boguang, preparing to take him to a place to heal his injuries.
Just before leaving, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Qian Chen, and said loudly, "Brother, may I ask your esteemed name?"
Qian Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Qian Chen!"
Linghu Chong laughed loudly, and was about to say a few polite words such as "The green hills remain unchanged, and the green waters flow forever" when he saw Qian Chen helping Yilin mount her horse.
"Young Master Linghu, may the green hills remain unchanged, and the clear waters flow on forever!"
"There's plenty of time in the future, we'll meet again!"
Afterwards, Qian Chen rode directly on the same horse as Yue Lingshan, embracing his junior sister Yang Liu's slender waist in front of him, and rode away.
Hehe~
We need Tian Boguang!
You chose it yourself!
