I was killed by my relatives, and I am reborn to be ruthless.

Upon hearing this, Ying Guangyuan's mouth corners unconsciously lifted up, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It was a kind of gentleness and appreciation that came from being directly touched by innocence.

He laughed in silence, not only because Xu Chong's frankness was unexpected, but also because it was rare to meet such a straightforward and unconcealed soul in such a complex and ever-changing world.

He carefully looked at Xu Chong in front of him, and sighed in his heart.

Indeed, since he took office as the head of Wanjing Sect, he has seen and met countless disciples, and ninety-nine percent of them came with a yearning for the sect's skills or to seek shelter.

However, people like Xu Chong, who do not hide their original intentions and express what they think frankly when they meet for the first time, are rare.

This innocence and straightforwardness made Ying Guangyuan feel a sense of intimacy and love.

So, he nodded with full of appreciation, his eyes full of encouragement and affirmation: "Okay, Xu Chong, you have a pure and kind character, and you are straightforward, which is rare. With you, you will definitely go further on the path of cultivation and become a truly good child."

However, as the leader of a sect, Ying Guangyuan knew the dangers and complexity of the martial arts world. He changed his tone, and his voice became more serious and reminding.

"However, you also need to remember that when you are in the martial arts world, you need to be cautious. In the martial arts world, people's hearts are unpredictable, so you must be on guard against others. I appreciate your frankness today, but you need to be more cautious when interacting with others in the future.

After all, how do you know that what I said today was not a test? How do you know that everyone in this world is as open-minded as you and me, and will not be resentful of what you said? "

These words echoed in Xu Chong's ears like a warning bell, leaving him speechless for a moment, with shock and reflection written all over his face.

He had never expected that his frankness would lead to such profound teachings. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and his respect for Guangyuan deepened.

He Ronger, who was standing nearby, was also shocked by this sudden turn of events.

She looked up at Ying Guangyuan, her eyes full of surprise and admiration.

In her opinion, Master Ying is not only a martial arts master, but also has a delicate and profound heart. He can appreciate Xu Chong's innocence and remind him of the dangers of the world in time. Such a broad mind and wisdom is a blessing for the sect and the disciples.

"He is a very nice person." He Ronger thought to herself.

But how could such a good person make Wan Jing Zong an existence avoided by other righteous cultivators in the spiritual world?

Thinking this in her mind, He Ronger asked naturally.

When Sect Leader Ying heard this, he did not get angry. Instead, he pulled the two of them to a table nearby and sat them down, then he slowly explained.

"Well, to be honest, it was me who asked them to do this." Master Ying said with a long sigh.

At this time, He Ronger and Xu Chong's eyes were filled with doubts.

"When I first entered the martial arts world, I had a kind heart and always stood up to help others when there was injustice. Although I received a lot of gratitude, I was also hated by some people because of this."

"Later, when I helped a disciple from another sect again, I was ambushed and nearly lost my life. Not only was that person not grateful for my help, he also targeted all my wealth. Since then, I no longer believe in casual friendships between monks."

Hearing this, He Ronger and Xu Chong both nodded in agreement.

They have heard a lot of stories about betrayal from their elders a long time ago, so they dare not show too much love when they go out. That's the reason.

"But the disciples of Wan Jing Sect can completely ignore others, so why do they do so many things to bully others?" He Ronger still asked the doubts in his heart.

Sect Leader Ying waved his hands and shook his head helplessly: "This is all helpless. At the beginning, I just taught my disciples not to meddle in other people's business when they go out. But many times, my disciples would be bullied when they came back, because the other party accused them of not saving people when they could have saved them."

"Later, I warned my disciples that if they wanted to keep trouble away, they had to make themselves look like bad guys. That's why..."

"But doing so will indeed hurt a lot of innocent people, right?" Xu Chong said disapprovingly.

"In the spiritual world, as long as you become a cultivator, you are stepping into the dispute for resources. There is no such thing as innocence. The strong are respected. If you can't even grab the resources for cultivation, don't blame others for being too strong." Master Ying snorted coldly.

"Besides, we didn't kill them all. We just made others feel awe. We don't care how they view me and my disciples."

After hearing what Master Ying said, He Ronger and Xu Chong were completely shocked.

At this moment, there was no more doubt or prejudice in their eyes, only infinite admiration.

There are such insightful and open-minded people in this world!

What surprised them even more was that such a person actually became the leader of a sect!

He also brought out a large group of disciples who shared the same ideas as him.

So what if others don't understand? As long as you can protect your own people from getting hurt, that's a skill.

He Ronger stared at Master Ying's face. The depths of her eyes seemed to open a door to the vast universe. Her sight penetrated the boundaries in front of her and roamed in the boundless imagination and perception.

At this moment, her soul transcended the constraints of the flesh and crossed the gap of time and space, as if she had personally witnessed a series of thrilling life and death struggles.

Those scenes, like the marks on an ancient scroll, slowly unfolded in her mind.

The road to becoming strong is full of thorns, and every step is soaked with sweat and blood.

In order to pursue the ultimate power, people fight each other in cruel competition at all costs. Every victory is achieved by stepping on the bodies of losers, and every summit means the fall of countless people, which becomes the cornerstone of success for later generations.

Just as these images were surging in He Ronger's mind, her body involuntarily froze on the spot, her eyes lost focus, as if her soul had wandered away from this world.

At this moment, the surrounding world seemed to have sensed her inner excitement, and the spiritual power in the air began to undergo subtle changes. As if drawn by an invisible force, they gathered from all directions, forming streams that eventually converged into a huge torrent of energy, surging into He Ronger's body.

This sudden vision shocked everyone present.

Sect Leader Ying and the cook, Old Li, looked at each other in disbelief.

Even Xu Chong, who was usually calm, couldn't help but look back to check on He Ronger's condition, but just as he was about to touch her, he was stopped in time by Sect Leader Ying.

"Don't disturb her!"
