Under the complicated or stunned gazes of the red guards, Xie Feiyan left the City Lord's Mansion and headed towards the source of the resentment, with a calm and calm expression, as if he was just going to meet an appointment, not to die.

Occasionally, after getting the news, a young and energetic red guard would rush to Xie Feiyan's side, full of loyalty, and resolutely express that he would go with him—whether to die or help, their red guards As the last line of defense around the city lord, he, the city lord of Guangling City, should not be allowed to face the enemy alone!

But in the end, these young people were all driven away by Xie Feiyan.

"I have something to do for me, and you have something to do for you!" Xie Feiyan calmly refused, "Don't forget, it was not the owner of Guangling City who built Guangling City, but the people of Guangling City."

Xie Feiyan left Guangling City.

He didn't think about anything along the way, he didn't say anything, he moved forward without stopping.

However, when he reached the north gate of Guangling City, he was stopped again.

"Thank you, City Lord, please stay."

The person who stopped Xie Feiyan was not the red guard, nor was it anyone Xie Feiyan had ever met.

This man is middle-aged, with a handsome face and sorrow, a thin and frail figure, and the word Fengyue is written on the handle of the folding fan hanging around his waist. The appearance of a poor scholar.

However, how can a real poor scholar block Xie Feiyan so accurately?

Xie Feiyan glanced at him and said, "Your Excellency is wrong, I am not the city lord."

The scholar showed a smile on his sad face, and said in a good voice: "Since the city lord Xie said so, then it shouldn't be." He paused, sighed, and then continued, "Thank the city lord, next time Excuse me, I want to ask you something."

Xie Feiyan didn't bother to correct the title, and frowned frivolously: "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Thank you, City Lord, I want to ask you - why are you going here?"

This is a strange scholar.

Xie Feiyan didn't know his origin, he didn't know his purpose, he only knew that he had a high level of cultivation, and now that he was blocking his way forward, he might not be someone who could easily get along with him.But now, since the scholar must ask clearly, Xie Feiyan just answered.

Xie Feiyan said: "It is to defend against sea beasts."

"City Master Xie knows that the sea beast that appeared outside Guangling City is unreasonable in its shape, shape, and existence. Maybe its cultivation is only in the late stage of Yuanying, but its ability is beyond your reach. I imagined it. Most of you today are only at the Golden Core stage, and the highest is no more than Nascent Soul, so if you go this time... probably you will never return."

Xie Feiyan calmly said: "So what if you go and never return? There are always things you should do and things you shouldn't do in this world. For the things you should do, death is nothing but martyrdom, so it's not a pity."

Ten years ago, Xie Feiyan confronted the masked man with such thoughts.

At that time, his heart was full of unquenchable anger, hatred and disgust replaced his blood, and circulated around him, and every time he turned around, it would make him more hated and angrier.

But now, Xie Feiyan still had similar thoughts, but the anger and hatred that seemed to never subside have silently cooled down, leaving only a kind of calmness and calmness.

The scholar said: "And this is exactly what I can't understand."

Xie Fei said, "What?"

"City Master Xie, if I'm not mistaken, you actually have no compassion for the human race." The scholar said, "You hate the human race, Guangling City, and even this world. If that's the case, why would you do it for this human race?" These people in this city are willing to die for a moment of life?"

Xie Feiyan remained silent for a while, but he wasn't surprised that the scholar's eyes were shining brightly.

A moment ago, when Du Tongguang questioned him in the City Lord's Mansion that he looked down on everyone in Guangling City, Xie Feiyan didn't take this matter to heart.

But at this moment, the unknown scholar said exactly what Xie Feiyan was thinking: everything Xie Feiyan showed in front of people in the past was not because he was blind and looked down on everything in this world.In fact, he just hates all these people and things.

Xie Feiyan hates these people and things, hates this world where all people are evil and everyone is wronged.Therefore, when Xie Feiyan saw all the people and things in Guangling City, those emotions that had accumulated in his heart, those disgusting people and the world became more and more difficult to relieve.

Xie Feiyan clearly knew that he was not a saint, or even a good person. All his actions were never out of justice or kindness, but because his own mind was touched, so he followed his own mind and violently killed people.

He is retribution, not justice.

He will eventually die in this heart-burning fire, and there will never be peace.

—He thought so until ten years ago.

Xie Feiyan lowered his eyes and said, "I really hate these things... I hate people, good things, and the world."

"but?"

"But someone made me understand that I don't have to keep seeing the evil."

"..."

"In this world, there may be many unbearable evils, but at the same time there are also many good things. I used to hate Guangling City, because the evil and hatred in the hearts of the people here are enough to burn this city. Exhausted, and later, when I understood the pain and pain under these evils and hatreds, it became more and more difficult for me to understand the reason and purpose of their life...Everything is evil, and no one is wronged. In this case, why not jump into it? Death, disappearing into eternity?"

"..."

"However, ten years later, when I came back here again, I understood a little bit. You see—those evil people who are reviled by others will desperately protect their relatives at such a moment. The cowardly people who are looked down upon by others will also muster up the courage to raise their weapons against the sea beasts at this time. Even on the way I left Guangling City, some red guards who didn't like me at first came to me and said, "City Lord!" , I would like to go with you'."

"..."

"It turns out that there is another thing in this world that has nothing to do with good or evil. Although I don't understand what it is now, I am willing to protect such things—do my best."

The scholar gave him a deep look.

"Even if you give your life for it?"

Xie Feiyan said calmly, "Yes."

"Even if you give everything, it will be useless and irreparable?"

"Whether it is useless or irreversible, you have to pay to know. If you don't do it because you are afraid of failure, then you have already failed before this matter has even started."

"But what if you really lose?"

"So what if I lose? At least I have given everything I have, and I have a clear conscience."

The scholar fell into a long silence, and the corners of his mouth, which were already looking sad, became more and more sad.

In the distance, the resentment spread faster and faster.

Xie Feiyan saw that he had no intention of stopping him anymore, so he directly bypassed him and continued towards the direction of resentment.

Behind Xie Feiyan, the scholar turned around, looked at Xie Feiyan's back, and sighed.

……

Xie Feiyan flew towards the source of the resentment.

When he had walked most of the distance, someone was approaching in front of him—it was the Young Mistress of the Holy Fire Palace, Meng Guanlan!

Seeing Xie Feiyan who was alone, Meng Guanlan was startled and angry, and said, "Elder Xie, why did you come alone?" She stepped forward and grabbed Xie Feiyan's hand, and hurriedly said, "I heard that you sent all the disciples away. What are you looking for... Forget it! Let’s not talk about this, Elder Xie, let’s get out of here quickly! That thing is so weird, it’s invincible, so we can only take everyone away!”

As Meng Guanlan said, she was about to grab Xie Feiyan's hand and leave.

But Xie Feiyan didn't move.

"Young Palace Master, you also said that such an enemy is invincible, and if no one stops behind, how far can you lead those mortals?"

Meng Guanlan was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet: "Elder Xie, that's what you said, but you are only a golden elixir and your body is weak, so it's not suitable for you to do anything. So what if you go?"

Xie Feiyan shook his head and sighed: "Young Palace Master, how many people are still the source of that resentment?"

Meng Guanlan hesitated for a moment.

Xie Feiyan said, "I'm afraid there are less than five people."

Meng Guanlan bit her lip, with shame on her face: "I... I shouldn't..."

Xie Feiyan said gently: "Young Palace Master, you don't have to blame yourself, I'm not blaming you. You have just touched the threshold of the golden core, and staying by that monster's side will not help, but will hinder others, so at this moment , It is the best and most sensible decision for you to help those mortals leave Guangling City. You have grown up, and you have done a good job."

Meng Guanlan seemed to have heard something, tears welled up in her eyes, and her hands became tighter and tighter.

"In this case, Elder Xie will go with me!" She choked up and said, "Wouldn't it be of no use if you went?"

Xie Feiyan smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate me."

Spiritual energy circulated all over his body, and with a slight shock, he broke Meng Guanlan's hand away.

"The disciples of the Holy Fire Palace were sent by me into the secret path to find a way to control the enemy." As early as when Xie Feiyan saw Hu Yanji reappearing at the Zhenhaiwei command post on the small map, he had already had doubts, so he sent The disciple of the Holy Fire Palace sneaked into the secret passage to see if he could find anything important, "It's just that it's too late now..." However, before he could find the clue, the enemy had already arrived, "Young Palace Master, since this is the case, Then you lead them out and leave Guangling City together."

"Don't!" Meng Guanlan grabbed the corner of Xie Feiyan's clothes again, and said angrily, "Since you are going, then I will go too! I... I shouldn't have left!" Tears came.

Xie Feiyan shook his head helplessly: "Young Palace Master, don't be so childish. You went to the place where the sea beast, apart from fulfilling your youthful spirit, what is the benefit to the facts? On the contrary, if you go back to Guangling Only then can we do something truly useful.” Xie Feiyan paused, and said, “A good fighter has no great achievements. Sometimes those who are really worthy of respect are not those big names who are famous all over the world, but those silent people who work hard. It's all the nameless people who make up the part of "people"... The name of a hero is obtained by stepping on a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. But it doesn't mean that those who don't have a famous name are not heroes, less Palace Master, can you understand this sentence?"

Meng Guanlan stared at him blankly, the hand that grabbed the hem of his clothes was released at some point.

Xie Feiyan patted her on the head: "Go, be such a hero."

Those people you illuminate will eventually illuminate the world.
