The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

After listening to Wen Daozun's narration, Duan Tianyang frowned and said nothing.

Wen Daozun noticed that his expression was solemn, so he did not dare to speak easily.

Everyone present noticed that there was a carriage following Duan Tianyang, but no one dared to ask about the identity of the person in the carriage.

After the group entered the city, Duan Tianyang first went to pay tribute to Guo Zheng who died heroically.

Immediately afterwards, he hurried to the clinic to visit the injured Xiao Fang and Cao Ge.

Living with them in the clinic were Wang Da, Li Yong and Fang Chao.

All five of them were seriously injured, their bodies tightly wrapped in bandages, like mummies.

When Duan Tianyang walked to Xiao Fang's bed, Xiao Hong cried and said, "My brother was hit by five arrows and more than a dozen knife wounds. He almost didn't make it."

When Duan Tianyang heard this, he felt a surge of sadness in his heart and his eyes became slightly moist.

Among so many brothers, Xiao Fang was the first one to follow him. His injuries were so serious that Duan Tianyang could hardly imagine how he survived this.

Xiao Fang was seen lying quietly on the bed, unconscious. His once heroic face was now pale.

Gary Cao, who was lying in the next bed, moved and his eyes gradually opened, but he just stared upwards blankly. There was no focus in his eyes, which seemed extremely empty.

He asked vaguely: "It's... it's Brother Tian, ​​are you here?"

"It's me!" Duan Tianyang was shocked and hurried forward, holding Cao Ge's hand tightly. Tears could no longer be held back and slid down his cheeks.

He tried his best to keep his voice steady and said softly, "It's me... I'm back."

"Brother Tian, ​​did I... did I embarrass you?" Cao Ge's words made Duan Tianyang feel like needles stabbing his heart. He took a deep breath and said softly, "Of course not. You fought side by side with Xiao Fang and faced many enemies. Not only did you not embarrass yourself, you also gave face to the president of Hongxing!"

After listening to Duan Tianyang's words, Cao Ge smiled and then slowly closed his eyes.

Duan Tianyang held Cao Ge's hand tightly. After a long time, he saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep. He turned around and asked Xiao Hong softly, "Xiao Hong, what happened to his eyes?"

Xiao Hong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered, "The doctor said that it was temporary blindness caused by excessive blood loss."

Duan Tianyang let out a long sigh. He raised his head and looked at Li Yong, Wang Da and Fang Chao on the other three beds again.

Xiao Hong explained: "Wang Da and Li Yong were injured during the breakout, while Fang Chao was injured in the battle with the Yun Huan Sect."

After explaining, Xiao Hong turned to look outside the door and asked in confusion: "Brother Tian, ​​who is that..."

Duan Tianyang followed Xiao Hong's gaze and saw Yi Shuirou, Caiyun and Caiyue standing outside the door.

He suddenly realized that he had forgotten to introduce Yi Shuirou's identity to everyone.

So, he stood up, gently wiped the tears from his face, and introduced in a serious tone: "This is Princess Yi Shuirou who is passing through our Longsha City. The purpose of her trip is to be an envoy to the Western Fan Kingdom."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, bowed and saluted, and called out in unison: "Princess!"

Yi Shuirou waved her hand slightly, her eyes fell on Duan Tianyang's face, and she secretly admired him in her heart. She never knew that he was such a loyal and righteous person.

At this time, Zhang Yi, Chi Xun, and Wan Fei walked up to Duan Tianyang, saluted in unison, and said, "Subordinates Zhang Yi (Chi Xun, Wan Fei), greet you, sir!"

Although it was the "first time" they met Duan Tianyang, Duan Tianyang was already very familiar with them.

He tried to calm his emotions and said calmly: "I know you all, you are all Chang Yuan's subordinates."

"Sir, Brother Yuan is now..."

Duan Tianyang's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "General Chang, he has already sacrificed his life heroically in the bloody battle of Xihui City." As he spoke, his eyes revealed deep sorrow, and his sigh seemed full of helplessness.

"What!?" Zhang Yi, Chi Xun and Wan Fei were all shocked when they heard the news. They stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe their ears.

Duan Tianyang spoke again: "General Chang entrusted you to me at the last moment of his life. Although General Chang is no longer alive, I will still regard you as my brothers, so you can rest assured."

"Brother Yuan..."

Zhang Yi, the one among the three of them who had the deepest feelings for Chang Yuan, could no longer control his emotions at this moment. Tears welled up in his eyes and he burst into tears, his voice filled with endless sorrow.

Chi Xun and Wan Fei also shed tears, silently enduring this sudden blow.

After a while, Chi Xun calmed down a little. He suddenly knelt in front of Duan Tianyang and said in a choked voice: "Sir, the blame for this defeat lies entirely with us. We are willing to accept any punishment!"

If Chang Yuan were still here, they would have a backer in Longsha City. Even if they got into trouble, they would still have Chang Yuan to help them.

But now, Chang Yuan has unfortunately passed away. They have caused such a big disaster, and it is hard to guess where they will go in the future.

Chi Xun, as the think tank of Chang's army, was acting out of character at this moment and pleaded guilty to Duan Tianyang. This sudden change showed how deep his mind was.

Duan Tianyang saw this and gently helped him up, saying in a calm tone: "You are certainly wrong, but the blame is not entirely yours. The main reason for this defeat is that we lacked intelligence."

As soon as Duan Tianyang finished speaking, a man stood up from the crowd. It was Yan Bin, the head of Tianyan Hall.

He was in charge of intelligence work in the Hongxing Society. Now that Duan Tianyang mentioned the poor intelligence, he naturally could not escape the blame.

Yan Bin said sternly: "Brother Tian, ​​this defeat is indeed due to poor intelligence, and the responsibility lies with me. Brother Tian, ​​please remove me from the position of hall master."

"People must learn to grow from lessons in order to make continuous progress and do better. Instead of evading responsibility like a coward and walking away." Duan Tianyang said with dissatisfaction.

"Brother Tian, ​​I am not shirking my responsibilities, but my abilities are indeed limited, and it is increasingly difficult for me to be the hall master." Yan Bin explained, cupping his hands, "I recommend someone to Brother Tian who is more suitable for this position than me. I am willing to step down as the deputy hall master."

"Who is it?" Duan Tianyang asked curiously.

Yan Bin looked back at a thin man behind him and nodded slightly. The thin man was a little dazed and stood there, not daring to move.

After Yan Bin's repeated gestures, he mustered up the courage to step forward, bowed to Duan Tianyang, and said respectfully: "I am Dai Zong, your Excellency!"

"Brother Tian, ​​Dai Zong is a man of loyalty and outstanding ability. He is particularly good at gathering information. If he were to take on the position of the head of Tianyan Hall, he would definitely be much more competent than me." Yan Bin said with a bow.

The size of the ability should match the level of the position, just as the saying goes, "wear a hat that fits your head."

In the Hongxing Society, an organization that is growing and developing rapidly, just having a high position does not mean everything is good. You also need to have the ability to match it. Otherwise, you are asking for trouble.

Yan Bin felt this deeply at the moment. Although he was the head of Tianyan Hall, he felt nothing but pressure. He would rather give up his position than endure this kind of torment.
