Linghu Feng ran after his younger brother and saw five more Huashan heroes crouched at the door of his room. He asked with concern:
“What happened to the little sister?!”
“Big brother!” All five heroes screamed at once. “Little sister... Junior Sister Liang is swollen, but physically she is fine, but mentally... He beat her badly! Humiliated right in front of everyone!”
Linghu Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that his sister’s life was not in danger, but he also clenched his fists tightly in anger..
“Who dared to hit her??”
“Big brother, it was Lin Yi!” All five heroes shouted at once and looked at him with such eyes, as if they wanted him to immediately rush to take revenge for them.
But they were met with disappointment. Hearing Lin Yi's name, Linghu Feng felt surprised instead of angry. Raising his eyebrows, he asked them in a serious tone:
“What the hell is going on? Why would Lin Yi suddenly beat you? What have you done?”
The five heroes lowered their heads one after another, no one dared to answer. Linghu Feng gritted his teeth and roared:
“Speak!”One of them found the strength to overcome his embarrassment and answered:
“Junior Sister was afraid that you would give Lin Yi the position of chief disciple, so she called people to stop him. We wanted to defeat him and then slander him to ruin his reputation, then he would have to give up his position as head disciple.”
“But he turned out to be too strong!” added another hero. “This Lin Yi is just a monster! Forty students couldn't do anything to him, he defeated them all! The younger sister did not want to stop there, so she decided to injure him so that he would not be able to participate in the competition in three days. But he defeated even the six of us in one second! He learned some kind of hand-to-hand combat technique somewhere, it seems to be at the level of platinum skills! We couldn't even touch him!”
“Yeah, and then he decided to teach his little sister a lesson. He slapped her once, then another, and ten more, probably, or even twenty. Why is he so cruel to her? I don't understand at all! And in front of everyone! She still hasn't said a word, she just locked herself in her room and cried..”
Listening to them, Linghu Feng kept shaking his head. Taking a deep breath, he said in a heavy tone:
“What's wrong with you? Don't you believe me at all? Or what? I promised that I would fight for the title of chief disciple, so I will. And if I fight, then why would you do such dirty tricks? I'm so disappointed in you guys! It’s also lucky that you went to Lin Yi. Someone else could kill you all.”
They lowered their heads even lower, but he wasn't finished.:
“Lin Yi did the right thing. Maybe now you will understand that you can’t live like this. It is in Huashan that they tolerate you, but in another place they would kill you, not caring about your status. And they would destroy the corpses, with all traces. I wouldn't even know who decided you! Don't think that because you are my brothers and sisters, you can do whatever you want. You are all weak, and if it weren’t for Huashan behind your backs, you would all have been killed long ago for such antics!”
All five of them blushed with shame. One of them said quietly:
“But sister did it so you could become head student...”
Linghu Feng couldn’t even find words. Gritting his teeth, he said:
“What are you doing, huh? Has it really not dawned on you yet? I can't cover for you all the time. If this continues, I will have to give up on you. Stop making decisions for me! I don't have to become a head disciple to protect you.!”
With these words, he entered the room and closed the doors behind him, leaving the five exchanging contemptuous glances..
They discovered that the older brother had changed. Now he loved them less and commanded them more. It was not yet clear whether this was good or bad, but no one really liked his words.
“Little sister!”
Zhulu was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face on her knees. Her hair was disheveled and sticking out in all directions, and her shoulders periodically shook from sobs..
He sat down next to her and put his hand on her back. She just wanted to help, even though he didn't ask for it. And how can you be angry with your younger sister??
But when she raised her head, he involuntarily gasped. Her face is really swollen like a pig's snout.
“Big brother!” Zhulu screamed sobbingly and hugged him.
“Cry, don’t hold back,” Feng said tenderly, stroking her back and feeling pain in her heart..
During his entire childhood, he received a slap in the face only once, and his face burned so much that he still remembered this blow..
Perhaps that was why he never even scolded his younger comrades. I thought they were too young for this.
Of course, he couldn't help but be angry. A month ago, he would have pulled out a sword and fought with Lin Yi, possibly to the point of serious injury. But now?
He lost that impulsiveness. Forgot about emotions.
After returning from Hangzhou, he thought a lot.
That night on the rooftop, Lin Yi seemed to say obvious things, but somehow Feng always avoided them.
If now he, without understanding the essence, rushed to avenge his younger sister, it would not be bravery, but stupidity. That's why his little sister grew up to be such an arrogant ignorant.
Lin Yi smashed her face. This hurt Linghu Feng more than ever, but his own face burned even more. His younger brother helped him teach his younger sister a lesson in behavior because he, the eldest, couldn't handle it!
They were both in the fist world and knew what kind of people lived there. Linghu Feng understood that if his younger sister went out into the world alone, she would not live long. Therefore, Lin Yi, without causing serious injuries, forced her to wake up.
Just like he made him wake up, cutting off the relationship between him and Duan Feifei, but saving the lives and reputations of both of them.
Feng smiled bitterly. Why are Lin Yi’s rescue methods so ruthless??
He felt strange emotions. His sister was beaten and he wanted to thank her for it.
What a shame!
Swearing at himself, Feng continued to press Zhulu.
“Big brother, I believe in you, I really do. I'm just very scared. I'm afraid of the future. I'm afraid you won't become a top disciple. We have offended so many people, everyone in Huashan hates us. If Lin Yi becomes the head disciple, what kind of future awaits us? He will definitely begin the purge of the Linghu clan! I'm afraid we have no future. I'm afraid that all of us will be killed. I'm afraid of everything. That's why I did this to others. I was just scared. And the elders are probably scared too. And to older brothers.”
She shook her head:
“Only if you become the main student will we have a bright future! It’s not just me who thinks so, everyone thinks so! Brothers, elders, everyone! We don't want to force you, and it really hurts when you're unhappy, but what else can we do? You must become the main disciple, otherwise it will be bad for all of us.”
Linghu Feng looked into her eyes and felt his heart bleed..
Lin Yi was right. In every word. Younger sister, brothers, elders - they all behave this way because they are afraid for their future.
Feng swallowed. He avoided responsibility and that's why they are all scared.
What arrogance! What nonsense!
He was still so weak, still had no strength! Therefore, the elders, brothers, and sisters forced him to become the head disciple!
He has nothing to be proud of. His strength is still not enough.
There's too little of it!
