Long Jinyu After the barrier was removed, the oppressive feeling in the courtyard was not completely dissipated. The moonlight fell clearly and shone on the three of them.
"The hatred is over."
He looked at Tang Ya and said in a steady voice, "But the future of the Tang Sect has just begun. This place is the foundation of the Tang Sect. Now the blood debt has been paid and the property has returned to its original owner. It is natural and right. Lord Tang Sect, today, you will officially reopen the gate of the mountain here."
Tang Ya and Bei Bei looked at each other. They straightened their robes together, took a step forward, faced Long Jinyu, solemnly performed the most solemn ancient ceremony, and bowed deeply.
"Senior Sister, the kindness is so great that Tang Ya/Bei Bei will never be forgotten!"
Long Jinyu gave him a virtual support. "It's your duty, you don't have to do this. Tang Sect Master, Bei Bei, please get up."
Tang Ya straightened up and looked at Long Jinyu's breathtakingly beautiful but distant face in the moonlight. Her heart was filled with surging gratitude and an urge to get close. She bit her lip and suddenly said:
"Senior Sister... No, Sister Jin Yu!"
Her voice was trembling, "Tang Sect and I owe you so much... From the friendship of gifts, to the grace of saving lives, and now... to help me kill my enemies and regain my ancestral property! Without you, I would have fallen into darkness. Tang Sect will never be revived. You... you are like giving me a second life, and you personally pulled Tang Sect back from the abyss. Tang Ya really... has nothing to repay!"
The more she spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes turned red again, and a heartfelt thought blurted out, "If sister Jin Yu doesn't dislike me, Tang Ya will be bold and want to recognize you as my sister! From now on, you will be my Tang Ya, my dearest and most respected sister in this world! Tang Sect will always be your home! There will always be a place for you!"
As she said that, she took out a simple token and offered it with both hands. "In the name of the Tang Sect Master, I would like to implore Sister Jin Yu to accept my Tang Sect position of 'Eternal Guest'! This position is the same as the Sect Master. Ping Qi, Tang Sect will do whatever he is told! This is the only respect that Tang Sect can show that is worthy of your kindness. Tang Sect, I hope to remember your kindness forever!"
Bei Bei was standing aside, with an equally solemn expression. "Senior sister, what happened to the Tang Sect is also Bei Bei's business. What Xiao Ya said is also what Bei Bei thinks. If you have any mission in the future, Bei Bei will not hesitate to do anything."
"..."
Long Jinyu looked at the two young people with excited expressions and sincere eyes in front of him, and felt a little touched in his heart. He understood that this was not only their most sincere gratitude, but also a signal of their desire to establish closer contact with him.
"Tang Ya, I have received your message. From now on in private, you can call me whatever you want."
He stretched out his hand to take the guest token and held it lightly.
"I have accepted the position of 'Eternal Guest Guest'. But there are a few things to say first: First, this position is a matter of friendship and honor. I cherish this friendship. Second, I will not interfere in the daily operations of the Tang Sect, Tang Sect's future will ultimately depend on you and Bei Bei. Thirdly, if one day Tang Sect is in trouble or encounters injustice, I will not stand idly by. This is my promise as a guest."
Long Jinyu looked gentle, glanced at the two people, and continued:
"Since I have taken over the position of guest guest, I will say a few more words in this capacity and as your friend."
"Today Tang Sect regains its glory. It was the two of you who went through hardships and took it back with your own hands. This inheritance sheds your blood and tears and supports your dreams. It is extremely precious because it truly belongs to you 'now'."
He paused briefly.
"Tang Sect has a long history and profound roots. The glory of the first ancestors is admired by everyone. But I want to say that the true soul of a sect is not in the myth of its origin, but in its current practice, why it exists and who it fights for."
"The past glory and baggage should not be ropes that tie your hands and feet. Tang Sect is reborn today. The word 'rebirth' means something extraordinary. It means that you have the opportunity and the responsibility to define the 'Tang Sect' of your era - its spirit, its rules, and what it wants to protect."
Speaking of this, he looked at Tang Ya with particularly clear eyes:
"Tang Ya, you are the one who gave Tang Sect a second life. From now on, this Tang Sect's 'Tang' is first of all your Tang Ya 'Tang' is the 'Tang' of countless Tang Sect disciples like you who are willing to sacrifice everything for the righteousness and friendship in their hearts. You don't need to live in anyone's shadow, what you want to create is your own legend."
"As for the more distant origins and rights and wrongs..." Long Jinyu's tone became detached but firm, "Everything in the world has its cause and effect, and its justice. If one day, the causes and conditions of the past turn into the waves of reality, I need you to remember one thing: be responsible for yourself, for the disciples and beliefs that need to be protected in front of you. You don't need to be bound by 'should', just ask your heart, what is the 'right way' and what is 'worthy'."
"This is my gift and my expectation. May the new Tang Sect be upright because of you, be strong because of you, and have a clear conscience because of you."
"Tang Sect's 'Tang'... is my 'Tang' first?"
Tang Ya stood there in a daze, tears welling up again without knowing when, but this time, it was no longer pure grief or ecstasy, but a shock of being deeply understood and given new strength and recognition.
For a long time, "Reviving Tang Sect" has been a responsibility, an obsession, and a heavy shackle, which made her breathless. She always felt that she was living in the shadow of the glory of her ancestors, and she was afraid that she was not doing well enough and humiliating those two words. But Long Jinyu's words were like a pair of gentle and powerful hands, which relieved her of this invisible burden.
"Sister Jin Yu..." she choked, but her voice was clear and firm, "I understand! The future of the Tang Sect will be created by me, Bei Bei, and all like-minded people with our own hands! We will not live in the shadow of the past, we must find our own path, a path...'with a clear conscience'!"
She said these four words "with a clear conscience" with great emphasis. It was both a response and a vow to herself.
Bei Bei's eyes are also shining with excitement. He is more rational than Tang Ya and can better understand the profound intention and wisdom behind Long Jinyu's words. This is not only the liberation of Tang Ya, which cleared the ideological obstacles for the Tang Sect's future independent development. He bowed deeply and said in a respectful and sincere tone, "Senior sister's teachings are inspiring. We must keep them in mind. You are not only our sister, benefactor, and guest, but also the teacher who guides us forward."
Long Jinyu looked at the flames no longer confused in their eyes and smiled happily. He knew that the seed had been planted.
"Just remember what you said today, that's enough."
He was about to say something more, but his expression suddenly became cold, and his eyes suddenly turned to the Ironblood Sect core corpses in the courtyard--
Almost at the moment he turned his head, a sudden change occurred!
