Chapter 446: Heartfelt Speech! (1/2)
“It was not just the image of an idol being destroyed, it was not just the collapse of belief, it was heartbroken—” Li Muyang shouted until his voice went hoa.r.s.e. “The renowned West Wind Sword G.o.d acted like those shameless a.s.sa.s.sins and ambushed a youngster on the street with the elite swordsmen of Still water sword school. I really don't understand why he would do that?”
Li Muyang looked Mu Dingyi with an icy cold stare, “We all call you Old immortal, because immortals are omniscient and omnipotent. So, I would like to ask you—-Old immortal Mu, why? Your son is the Master of the Still water sword school, the West Wind Sword G.o.d admired by people across the world, why did he want to kill me?”
“——” Mu Dingyi's face sank like water and did not utter a word. Of course, he did not know how to answer a question like that.
“I know that he is unconscious now. However, he will eventually wake up. When he wakes up, would you please ask him this question for me—–”
Li Muyang ran his eyes across the crowd and said, “I also have to trouble you guys to help me ask why he wanted to kill me—–and give me an answer. Otherwise, I would never understand—–why did he suddenly want to kill me?”
“The reason I say I don't blame Old immortal Mu is because he's the Father of Mu Yubai. His son had tried to kill me, only to be accidentally knocked unconscious by me—–If my son had done such a thing, I would also feel very angry and, as his father, feel very ashamed. He had done such a humiliating thing that became known to the entire Tiandu capital. But more importantly, because Mu Yubai was defeated in the hands of a nameless junior, the reputation of Still water sword school is damaged and no longer has the prestige of the past—–”
“Boy, how dare you insult the reputation of Still water sword school—-“ Elder Chengfeng jumped up in an exasperated rage.
“Boy, if you don't die today, I will certainly break your bones.” Li Xiuwei, one of the three wild guests, pointed to Li Muyang with a long sword and snapped.
“Li Muyang, my Still water sword school will not rest until you're killed—-”
——————-
Li Muyang scoffed at the reaction of these people, then said with a sneer, “You say it like you would let me off if I talk nicely to you guys. I'm the one who's going to be killed by you. Would I care if you're not going to leave me alone until I die?”
“——-”
The side of Still water sword school immediately quietened down. They all thought that what Li Muyang said was very reasonable and that they could not retort at all.
“If my son is insulted, whether he is right or wrong, as his Father I have to stand up for him to get his face back. I can understand such behavior. If I had a son, I would do the same because he is lucky enough to be my son, right?”
“I can understand why you want to kill me. However, do not say nonsense such as you want to promote the younger generation and choose talents for the country. I am not afraid to die, but I am afraid of dying with a grievance—–Even if my life had been forcibly taken away by you, you would still be given with a righteous t.i.tle?”
“He makes a lot of sense—–”
“This boy is a pitiful person too——”
“Li Muyang—-”
——–
There were clamours of comments around the Sword G.o.d Square.
At last, the wind direction of the public opinion was not one-sided, and finally there were people coming forward to speak for Li Muyang.
Although the number was still very small and that there were more people standing on the side of Old immortal who they had always respected and admired—–After all, the name of a person was just like the shadow of a tree. As a protector who had been guarding the imperial capital for decades, a few words of Li Muyang would not affect his credibility and majesty.
“Third elder brother, what he said is right.” On the Star gazing observatory platform, a bright and beautiful girl rested her chin in one hand as she gazed at Li Muyang on the Sword G.o.d Square through the window and gently sighed” “I think he's very nice, why does so many people have to bully him? I sympathises with him.”
“There is no smoke without fire.” Song Tao put down the teacup in his hand, coldly looking down at the rioting crowd. “The hatred in this world all stem from self-interests. Since he had chosen to stand on the Lu family's side, then what is difficult to understand when other hostile forces want to kill him?”
“Third elder brother, the world of men—–can't it be simpler?” Song Chenxi said softly.
Song Tao dotingly looked at the girl's pretty face, saying in a soft voice: “Our world is complex, only your world can be simple and pure——there is always someone to stand up to s.h.i.+eld you from the wind and rain.”
“Sigh—–” The maiden sighed again. “I just hope that Li Muyang can survive through this.”
“Survive?” Song Tao shook his head. “No one can escapes unscathed from that man's sword, even Grandfather—–would struggle a bit. What makes you think he can?”
“I don't know.” Song Chenxi shook her head. “Maybe it's intuition. A girl's intuition—–I feel that he won't die young. I think he will survive and that we will meet again.”
“Chenxi—-” Song Tao's expression turned stern. “Whether he is alive or dead, you better not see him again. Otherwise——-”
He did not finish his sentence. The Cui family's Cui Xiaoxin also had a close relations.h.i.+p with him, but what had happened to her?
He did not want his beloved sister to become like Cui Xiaoxin, fighting desperately for an unrealistic goal.
