727 Is Being Kind a Crime? (1/2)
The Tian Fa Xuan Beasts almost all fell to the ground with admiration in this moment. This brother-in-law of theirs was simply too formidable! Eldest sister was so domineering, yet she was still scolded like that. This was too imposing, too incredible!
Mei Xue Yan's face turned white, and a trace of rage finally blazed in her eyes. She was not angry about Mo Xie snapping at her. Instead, she was angered by his uncaring attitude toward the fate of the common people!
”Mo Xie, how could you say that? For the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens, what are the losses of mere personal interests worth?” Mei Xue Yan took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. ”Even Venerable Mo could make such a great sacrifice. Do we have to still insist on taking their lives? Is there any meaning in doing that?”
”Truly too soft hearted. I told you to scram to one side just now, didn't you hear?!” Jun Mo Xie snorted angrily. ”If not for your concern for the War for Seizing the Heavens, would those ten Superior Supreme experts from the Elusive World of Immortals have been able to inflict you with a heavy injury that plagued you for more than a hundred years? If not for your concern for the War for Seizing the Heavens, would the three Holy Lands have dared to take actions against you? Countless people would have already died by your hands in that case! If they didn't take advantage of your soft heartedness and your concern for the big picture, would they ever dare to do so?!
”Time and time again, you've placed yourself under that War for Seizing the Heavens. And time and time again, you've ended up suffering!” Jun Mo Xie smiled coldly and continued. ”And this time, the reason they're begging for mercy, is actually still for that damn War for Seizing the Heavens! Let me ask you, how much longer do you intend to suffer before you finally wake up!? Think about it yourself; if the roles were swapped, and you were the one begging for mercy today, do you think those people from the three Holy Lands would let you off? Could it be that you weren't seeking to live because of the War for Seizing the Heavens?!”
”I can of course imagine what they would choose. But this is different…” Mei Xue Yan hurriedly denied. ”I can sense the Venerable of Life and Death's true feelings this time; he's really…”
”And so what? It still wouldn't make any difference!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly. ”Because this time, they're still making use of your broadmindedness! I've never denied that Mo Xiao Yao is truly thinking for the sake of the War for Seizing the Heavens this time and that his actions are truly for the sake of the world! As for his heart, you're not the only one can feel it. I can also sense his sincerity! But this should not be the reason for us to let them off just because they begged for mercy! Do you understand?”
This was the first time that Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan had quarreled since they had met! And it was an extremely serious argument!
”Jun Mo Xie, don't try to measure the stature of an upright man by the yardstick of a base man! Although we're in a poor situation right now, we're still not people you can demean!” Jia Qing Yun gritted his teeth with anger, and the veins on his temples throbbed heavily.
”I've always been a base person. Have I ever denied that? Only, are you all considered upright men?!” Jun Mo Xie looked at him with a chilly gaze. ”I only ask you one thing, Mo Xiao Yao. Stop making that face as if you have suffered bitterly in the society and are nursing a great grievance as if you've been wronged greatly. Lift up your head and open your eyes! Since the most difficult words have already been said, could it be that you don't have the guts to open your eyes and look at the person who holds the power of life and death over you in the eyes?”
Mo Xiao Yao opened his eyes slowly as though they were heavy with lethargy. A deep humiliation could be seen in his eyes as he asked coldly, ”What do you want to ask? Go ahead! This old man shall hear them clearly!”
”I'll only ask you one very simple question! Did the Elusive World of Immortals take action against Venerable Mei so many times over the years by making use of her weakness of prioritizing the big picture over her interests? Did you all do that knowing that she wouldn't kill recklessly because she was considering the War for Seizing the Heavens? That's a very simple question right? You just need to answer 'yes' or 'no'. Give me a definite answer!” Jun Mo Xie asked coldly.
”Yes!” A hint of guilt appeared on Mo Xiao Yao's pale face. However, his answer had come without hesitation. The fact was as such. They had indeed been taking advantage of her kindness to plot against her time and time again!
”If Venerable Mei was a vicious character that didn't shy away from doing any evils and was the kind of Tian Fa Lord who acted without any inhibitions, would you still dare act like that?” Jun Mo Xie pressed relentlessly.
”We would not dare! But, if an opportunity appeared for us to kill her with certainty, we would definitely seize it!” Mo Xiao Yao sighed and shook his head. ”Because, if she disregarded everything and one day decided to activate the Xuan Beasts to trample the continent, a huge disaster would ensue! Thus, we needed to consider very seriously whether she was such a character or not. It's fortunate for us that she isn't!”
Mei Xue Yan closed her eyes bitterly.
She had already guessed that this was reason long ago. But hearing these words from the culprit with her own ears now still gave her a deep pain, as if ten thousand arrows had pierced her heart. There was also a sadness over the worthlessness of her actions!
It turned out that the reason that the people whom she'd fought side by side with in the past moved against her was actually because of her kindness!
It was because she was too kind and too concerned about the big picture that they acted so outrageously, ambushing her on so many occasions and even almost taking her life!
It was because they knew that her retaliation would never be too ruthless! She would never deal with them in the same way they dealt with her! Thus, they became completely fearless!
What exactly happened to this world?
Is kindness the reason for deserving death?!
Is kindness the reason for deserving to be ambushed and plotted against?!
