A Gradual Inducement, Two Swordsmen!

And at this moment--

Inside the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, two young swordsmen, wearing bamboo hats and carrying swords at their waists, appeared quite skilled despite their young age...

They have all reached the True Martial Nine Realms Completion!

At this age, to have cultivated to such a level is enough to be considered a prodigy among Rogue Cultivator!

One of them, dressed in white, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, had a gentle and mild temperament. He was drinking coarse tea and enjoying pastries, giving off the air of a young swordsman!

The other man, dressed in a sharp black outfit, smiled brightly, yet his eyes often held a hint of melancholy—a man full of stories...

In this place of pleasure, the two became unique oddities.

However, it didn't attract much attention.

After all, this is Yingchuan City, renowned throughout the martial arts world, with an extremely strong martial arts atmosphere, full of stories of romance, chivalry, and revenge...

This happens here every day!

Right now--

The young man in black asked for another three catties of Spirit Wine, and drank and made merry by himself, saying:

"Brother Gai, what do you think of the Beichuan Qin Family? Is it good or bad?"

Why...?

"Can't this world always be peaceful? Everyone's trying so hard to live, so why is life so difficult...?"

Upon hearing this—

The young man surnamed Gai, watching the tea leaves dancing in his cup, fell into deep thought, yet offered a remarkably objective assessment...

"From a broader perspective, the Beichuan Qin Family is undoubtedly a good family. So many people have enjoyed happiness and well-being because of the Qin Clan's rise..."

"In times of chaos, only a strict legal order can create such a prosperous era!"

"In earlier years..."

"I once met a fake monk. That benefactor had the well-being of all people in his heart, yet was powerless to change anything. Saving one person would have been simple..."

Saving all living beings is as difficult as ascending to heaven!

"The Qin Clan clan members are mostly cold, arrogant, and haughty, yet reasonable. They never make too many demands on the weak..."

"Even ordinary people can receive corresponding treatment as long as they abide by the Qin Clan's laws and regulations."

"This is unparalleled anywhere else!"

"In the land of Northern Qin, the concept of absolute justice exists, which shows that the ancestor of the Qin Clan was by no means the heartless person rumored to be..."

"In my opinion, the Qin Clan patriarch appears cold and ruthless, but he also cares deeply for the common people; he just acts differently."

"What right do we insignificant ants and grasshoppers have to judge such a powerful figure?"

"Certainly..."

"The Qin Clan also had its shortcomings; it also wiped out many innocent small clans, and for some innocent people, it adopted the principle of 'better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.'"

"While it led to many tragedies, it must be acknowledged that the sacrifice of a small number of people ensured the survival of many more..."

Speaking of this--

The young man in black smiled faintly, but the hatred in his eyes deepened...

But in the end, all that remained was a wry smile, before his expression hardened, as if he had made up his mind...

"Brother Gai is right..."

"But one should not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. I believe you understand this principle, Brother Gai. How can one easily comprehend suffering?"

"Every time I think of that night..."

"I'm so heartbroken! My father, my mother, my younger sister, and the entire village, more than three hundred people, all vanished overnight..."

All that remained was rotting flesh and that pained expression. I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life!

"I will not rest easy until I avenge this humiliation!"

After speaking, the young man in black had clearly made up his mind...

Seeing this, the young man surnamed Gai ultimately remained silent, for there was no need for him to speak. Since Gai had already chosen his path, let him go.

Subsequently--

Their gazes gradually shifted, and a spoiled eight or nine-year-old girl came into their view—the third generation of the Qin Clan...

The most infamous little princess, Qin Mingwan!

This was also the target the two had been lurking in the Warm Fragrance Pavilion for over a month...

(Updates will resume normally tomorrow. I didn't get home until 11 am today, sorry for the late update...)
