Chapter 122 Why should I Repay Evil with Good?More than a dozen eyes enviously looked at Lin Beichen.
No one had expected that such a good thing would happen to this brain-dead black sheep.
The North Sea Empire was located in the northern border area of East Truth Continent on the coast.
This sea was called the North Sea.
It gave its name to the empire.
But what ordinary people did not know was that beyond the North Sea, there was an endless vast ocean.
It was called the North Ocean.
It was said that the North Ocean was very vast, connecting the starry sky and the Heavenly River. Even the G.o.ds could not escape, and if they were trapped on this ocean, they might die there. Therefore, the ocean was also called the Sea of Deceased G.o.ds.
In the land near the Sea of Deceased G.o.ds, there were many islands where sea people dwelled.
Three of these major islands were known as the Three Divine Islands.
It was rumored that they were formed from the ancient G.o.ds" bodies after their deaths.
These islands did not belong to the North Sea Empire or any country on land.
They were a force of their own.
Baiyun City was the holy land in the hearts of the North Sea Empire"s swordsmen. Similarly, Three Divine Islands were also the holy lands in the hearts of the sea people.
At the beginning of the establishment of the North Sea Empire, there were some conflicts between the empire and the sea people. Later, they entered an alliance and engaged in mutually beneficial trade with each other. The sea people were used to living on the sea, and the empire gradually lost interest in conquering the scattered, narrow, hot, humid, alien islands. Over the long years, both sides had remained in peaceful agreement.
He did not expect the Old Sea Man to have come from Dongliu Island, one of the Three Divine Islands.
No wonder his appearance was somewhat abnormal, especially his long hair. It was like seagra.s.s, different from an ordinary person"s.
Anyway, becoming a disciple on Dongliu Island was a great opportunity for warriors, second only to joining Baiyun City.
Cao Potian was slightly surprised and jealous, and a sneer appeared on his face.
“Didn"t you laugh at me for betraying my master?
“Hoho, in the face of such a temptation, Lin Beichen, you still can"t resist it, can you?
“When you kneel down and acknowledge the Old Sea Man as your master, you will prove with your actions that you are just a sanctimonious villain.”
“Haha, Lin Beichen, you"ve just heard Ding Lei"s words. He doesn"t recognize you as his disciple. Since that"s the case, why are you still hesitating?” said Bai Haiqin, who laughed out loud.
On the host seats.
Ling Junxuan and Qin Lanshu looked at Lin Beichen with great interest.
They could almost foresee that what had happened in the back garden three years ago would happen again.
Also, a strange light flashed in Ling Wu"s starry eyes.
He wanted to know Lin Beichen"s choice.
Although this choice had nothing to do with him, he felt that it was very important.
At this time, his arm hurt. He turned his head and saw that Ling Chen was holding his arm tightly.
Chu Hen"s gaze moved back and forth between Lin Beichen and Ding Sans.h.i.+. Although deep down in his heart, he hoped that Lin Beichen could refuse the Old Sea Man"s invitation, he also knew that such an idea was far too selfish. He could not ask a fourteen-year-old boy to be a saint.
Bai Qinyun nervously grabbed her own b.r.e.a.s.t.s with both hands.
She didn"t know why she was so nervous.
Anyway, she suddenly felt short of breath and tightness around her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
At this moment, Lin Beichen had completely become the focus in the back garden.
He grinned.
“I didn"t expect such a thing to happen to me.”
He smiled happily and said, “You should know that before today, I was still one of the most unwelcome people in Cloudy Dream City. Twenty days ago, there were even countless people gathering around the entrance of the Third College and claiming that they wanted to hack me to death… But now, hehe, I feel as happy as if there were dumplings falling from the sky.”
Upon hearing these words, Bai Haiqin and Cao Potian"s lips curled up slightly.
Chu Hen wanted to say something, but he stopped on a second thought.
Bai Qinyun took several deep breaths, causing her b.r.e.a.s.t.s to heave. She teased him in her heart. “It seems that you are saying that you"re not the most unwelcome person in Cloudy Dream City right now. The reason why they"re not gathering around the gates is not that they don"t want to kill you, but that they don"t dare to do so.”
Ling Wu sighed and then took a deep breath. “Alas, it hurts…” His arm was almost pinched off by his younger sister.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ looked extremely calm.
Lin Beichen also turned to look at him.
“Mr. Ding, are you giving me an out and trying to persuade me to become a disciple of the Old Sea Man?” The renowned brainless idiot said with a mean smile.
Ding Sans.h.i.+ said, “You have the right to choose the most favorable path for yourself.”
Lin Beichen shook his head and said, “Mr. Ding, do you know why you fell from one of the five Swordsmen in Baiyun City to a teacher in a small border town, and why you were so easily robbed of your disciple, who you took great pains to train?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ frowned slightly.
Before he could respond, Lin Beichen gave him the answer directly. “Because you are like the Virgin Mary, Mr. Ding.”
“Virgin Mary?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ was stunned.
“What does it mean?”
Other people also looked confused.
Bai Haiqin almost could not help laughing out loud.
This little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, in order to become the Old Sea Man"s disciple, had actually begun to use vile words to separate himself from Ding Lei. He really wanted to know how Ding Lei was feeling right now.
Lin Beichen continued, “If I were you, I would never let such an ungrateful person as Cao Potian casually become the disciple of someone else. I would break his legs first. Also, you shouldn"t always be so considerate of others. At least, you have to see whether that person deserves your consideration or not. Why would you let him go so easily, when he betrayed you and violated tradition?”
“Huh?”
Bai Haiqin"s smile froze.
Lin Beichen added, “The rules are the rules, and the truth is the truth. Those who don"t care about them should be punished, instead of forgiven casually. Mr. Ding, you"ve lived most of your life with your biggest weakness being that you are as benevolent as a woman. Today, I have a question for you, “Why should I repay evil with good?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+ was completely stunned.
It was also deadly silent in the back garden.
Returning good for evil had always been highly praised by the swordsmen of the North Sea Empire.
It was considered a virtue of an honorable man.
But Lin Beichen"s words shocked many people, especially the young men and women present.
That"s right.
“Why should I repay evil with good?”
Ding Sans.h.i.+"s heart was suddenly shaken.
This question was like a sword, suddenly stabbing into a lock which was hidden in the depths of his heart.
A magnitude12 earthquake overwhelmed his mind, his heart, and the inside of his body.
In a trance, Ding Sans.h.i.+ found something different.
A crack had appeared in something that he had always upheld as a standard.
Something that he had suppressed for a long time was emerging.
Lin Beichen said loudly, “The answer is very simple. Return justice for injustice and return good for good.”
Boom!
A ray of light surged out of Ding Sans.h.i.+"s mind.
It was like the sun rising in the east.
The Sword of Morals in his hand seemed to feel its owner"s state of mind, and it began clanging.
For the past 16 years, the struggle and thoughts had been repeatedly knocking at his heart day and night. But all the gains and losses, the advance and retreat, suddenly became clearer than ever at this moment.
His mind was clearer than ever.
Even the Mystery Energy in his body suddenly surged with vigor.
