Chapter 1061 Righteous Person
"Big brother..."

"Xun Yi, I know you are... not the same as before. You are no longer the weak and unknown person you used to be, and I am no longer qualified to give you orders. But if you still have feelings for me, Lin Fangda, even the slightest bit of feelings... can you please consider our brotherhood and listen to my last words? I dare not ask for others, but Madam... I beg you to let her go no matter what."

Lin Fangda's sincere and almost "pleading" words came from his heart, but to Liu Xunyi, every word was like a knife, piercing his heart.

In particular, the meaning of "strangeness" and "alienation" between the lines of his words made Liu Xunyi feel worried and mixed.

Once upon a time? That unruly and carefree "man", that "master" who argued with others, that "big brother" who was open and honest... now he has become so cautious and careful in his words and deeds. How can Liu Xunyi not feel that time has passed and things have changed?

"Brother, what you said... How can I bear it?" Liu Xunyi suppressed his inner sorrow and loss. In order to prevent Lin Fangda from feeling pressured in front of him, he forced himself to smile and said, "You and I are sworn brothers who swear to live and die together, no matter when? No matter if I am a nobody or not? Lin Fangda will always be Liu Xunyi's elder brother. I will never forget all the kindness you have shown me."

“Okay, okay!” Seeing that Liu Xunyi was loyal and righteous, Lin Fangda couldn’t help but show his joy on his face, and hurriedly said, “Since you are willing to recognize me as your big brother, then listen to me…”

"Lin Fangda, you don't have to pretend to be so righteous, and you don't have to plead for me. I know you have fantasies and what you are up to, but I can tell you clearly. I would rather die... than marry my daughter to you, so you'd better give up on this idea as soon as possible."

Before Lin Fang could finish his big words, a curse filled with resentment and contempt suddenly rang out from the crowd.

At the same time, dishevelled and bloodstained Ling Xiaoxiao, carefully supported by Liu Zhong and Liu Yi, staggered forward. She first glared coldly at the bewildered Lin Fangda, and then cast her sinister gaze directly at the unyielding Xiao Zhirou and the frowning Liu Xunyi, sneering like crazy: "My life... does not need anyone's pity, let alone charity from you, a pair of mean, shameless and lowly mother and son..."

"Asshole..."

"Dad!" Before the furious Teng Sanshi could teach Ling Xiaoxiao a lesson, Xiao Zhirou stopped him first, "She's gone crazy. There's no need to argue with her."

"I'm crazy? Haha... You're right! I'm crazy. From the time you seduced my husband into bed, from the time you insisted on giving birth to a bastard, from the time you and your son repeatedly destroyed the harmony of our family, from the time you instigated Brother Jin to abandon me, from the time you encouraged Liu Xunyi to take away the foundation of the Luo family... I've been crazy!" Ling Xiaoxiao laughed in anger. Her dry and hoarse voice was eerie and terrifying. Her shaking head and waving fangs made people shudder. "Kill me! Kill me! But I want you to always remember that even if I, Ling Xiaoxiao, become a ghost, I will not let you go. Even if I become a ghost, I will haunt you day and night. I will make sure that every one of you dies a miserable death..."

"Brother, did you hear everything?" Ling Xiaoxiao's crazy provocation once again aroused Liu Xunyi's anger, and his tone became more gloomy. "This person has lost all conscience and done all kinds of bad things. When she was about to die, she not only did not reflect on her mistakes, but instead blamed others and spoke nonsense. How can this be tolerated? How can you teach me how to let her live?"

"Xun Yi, she was just impulsive..."

"Brother, no need to say more! I can listen to you on anything, except today... don't interfere."

After saying that, Liu Xunyi pushed Lin Fangda, who was still unwilling, away and tried to leave.

"No! You can refute me on anything, but not on this matter today!"

Seeing Liu Xunyi's determination to kill, Lin Fangda's face changed immediately. He quickly grabbed his arm and said word by word: "I know you have a hot temper, and I know I can't win against you. But... you can say I don't know the times or I don't know how to show respect. Even if you call me a fool who can't tell right from wrong... In a word, if you want to kill her, kill me first!"

"Lin Fangda, you are clearly making things difficult for the young master, but why are you doing that?" Xu Heng sighed, "Ling Xiaoxiao murdered her own husband, she is as cruel as a snake and scorpion, it is not worth it for you to plead for her, let alone destroy the brotherly relationship between you and the young master for her..."

"Xu Heng, stop adding insult to injury and making some high-sounding sarcastic remarks!" Lin Fang glared at her and shouted angrily, "Even if Madam has a thousand faults and mistakes, Second Master and Xunyi will settle the accounts with her. It has nothing to do with you and me, and it is not our turn to make irresponsible remarks. Don't forget, Madam is still Madam no matter how wrong she is. In these years, she has not treated you and me, the disciples of the mansion, unfairly. On the contrary, she often stood up and pleaded for us when the mansion master punished us. The monthly and quarterly salaries, the rewards during festivals, the names on the merit book... The mansion master is busy with all kinds of things and often forgets his mistakes. When was it not Madam who thought of rewarding us? From the Seven Heroes, the Fan Holders, and the Sect Masters, , down to the disciples, maids, and servants, has the Madam ever forgotten anyone? Has she ever misremembered anyone? Has she ever neglected anyone? No one is perfect. It cannot be denied that the Madam has done wrong, made mistakes, and sinned against the Mansion Master, but those are the old grudges between her and the Mansion Master and Master Xiao. To you and me... the Madam has only kindness, only rewards, and only grace. She has never harmed us, never calculated against us, and she doesn't owe us a cent. Right is right, wrong is wrong, grace is grace, and resentment is resentment. As a human being, you must be worthy of your parents in heaven and earth, and worthy of your own conscience. Therefore, Second Master and Xunyi can hate her, scold her, or even kill her, but you and I... are definitely not qualified."

"Lin Fangda, you were the one who questioned Ling Xiaoxiao in the beginning, and now you are the one who absolves her of the crime? You are so fickle and your behavior is despicable!" Seeing that Lin Fangda openly defended Ling Xiaoxiao and not only did not appreciate his kindness, but also ridiculed him, Xu Heng could not help but lose face and felt indignant, so he retorted without any hesitation, "Are you crazy? Why are you changing your face like turning over a book, biting whoever you catch? You only said that Ling Xiaoxiao was kind to you and me, why didn't you say that the Palace Master had feelings for you and me? She murdered the Palace Master, how should this account be settled? As disciples of the Xianwang Palace, shouldn't you and I avenge the Palace Master?"

"you……"

"Stop arguing!"

The upset Liu Xunyi shouted loudly, immediately quieting down the quarreling Lin Fangda and Xu Heng. "You are all from the Xianwang Mansion. How can you attack each other in public?"

"This……"

Faced with Liu Xunyi's harsh words, Lin Fangda and Xu Heng glared at each other, both indignant, but they stopped arguing.

"Xun Yi, let me ask you a question shamelessly. Today, in front of all the heroes in the world...will you show me some mercy, Lin Fangda?"

"Brother, you..." Faced with Lin Fangda's aggressive questioning, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but feel speechless.

"Lei Zhen, Yan Shun, what are you standing there for?"

Just as Lin Fang was pressing forward and Liu Xunyi was in a dilemma, Xunzhen's unhappy question suddenly sounded behind them.

Hearing this, Lei Zhen and Yan Shun were shocked and looked at each other in bewilderment. They could only cautiously whisper, "I wonder what the young lady means..."

"Although Lin Fangda is the sworn brother of Deputy Sect Leader Liu, he cannot disrupt today's situation, and he cannot prevent anyone from avenging Lord Luo." Xunzhen's secretive eyes swept over Liu Xunyi, and then "kindly" reminded Lei Zhen and Yan Shun who seemed to understand, "There are some things... Deputy Sect Leader Liu should not do it himself or speak frankly for the sake of brotherhood and etiquette between the old and the young. As your subordinates, why don't you know how to guess the master's intentions and share the master's worries? Do you have to watch him put himself in the awkward situation of 'disloyalty and unfilial' and 'unkindness and injustice' and be torn between the two?"

"This……"

While Lei Zhen was still confused, Yan Shun had already come to his senses and quickly ordered his attendants: "That... Young Master Lin is too tired, you guys should help him down to rest. Remember! Young Master Lin is the sworn brother of the deputy sect leader, you guys must not be rude. If anything goes wrong, you will all be beheaded!"

"As ordered!"

"Master Lin is from the Xianwang Mansion after all, we can't just stand there and watch the fun, let's all help together."

At Ling Qing's call, the disciples of Xilu Wuzong and the disciples of Xianwangfu who were waiting on the side hurried forward. They kept giving advice with "kind words", their tone was "servile", and their words were "sensitive", but the movements and strength of their hands were not vague at all. In the blink of an eye, they captured Lin Fangda firmly and made him unable to move.

"What are you doing? Let me go now..."

No matter how Lin Fangda roared and cursed and struggled desperately, he was helpless against two fists and four hands, and a vicious tiger could not stand up to a pack of wolves.

In the end, under the joint efforts of the disciples of Xilu Wuzong and the disciples of Xianwang Mansion, Lin Fangda, who had tried his best, was sweating and panting, but he was still dragged away from Liu Xunyi by them.

Under the surprised and stunned gazes all around, Lin Fangda was quickly carried into Prince Xian's palace by a dozen burly men.

"Xunyi... You can't let them do this to me. I'm your elder brother... Are you going to be ungrateful? Liu Xunyi, kill me if you can. Don't let these turtle bastards humiliate me..."

From the beginning to the end, facing Lin Fangda's endless roars and threats, the uneasy Liu Xunyi wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, under Xunzhen's meaningful gaze, he made up his mind and said nothing.

"Brother, I know you are affectionate and righteous, and I know you have good intentions. But things have come to this point, and Wudang and I can no longer coexist in the world. Now, I am not only responsible for my own fate, but also for the future and honor of Xianwang Mansion, Jueqing Valley, Sanyi Gang, Xiangxi Teng Clan, Hexi Qin Clan... these close relatives and brothers who risked their lives to advance and retreat with me. Therefore, I can no longer do whatever I want and act on my own as before. I am afraid that because of my momentary confusion, I will cause them to fall into an irretrievable situation, and I am even more afraid that because of my momentary kindness, I will lose these... hard-earned relatives and friends."
