Chapter 26 Generation Gap Between Master and Disciple, Enlightening Yilin

【Cheng Shifei: Damn! That old Yue doesn’t seem like a good person at all!】

【Yang Guo: Indeed! Everyone knows what kind of people the Qingcheng Sect disciples are—arrogant and bullying. Giving them a lesson, how is that against chivalry?】

【Kou Zhong, one of the Yangzhou Twin Dragons: “Meeting a nun, losing a bet”—that was just a desperate remark in a tight situation. How can one take it so seriously?】

【A’Zi from the Xingxiu Sect: Staying at Qunyu Courtyard? That’s even more ridiculous! Linghu Chong was barely conscious, on the brink of death. Does it really matter where he was?】

【Yunluo County Princess of the Ming Dynasty: Absolutely infuriating! The Qu family kindly saved Linghu Chong’s life, yet Yue Buqun repaid them with suspicion, treating them with a petty mind. Truly an ungrateful wretch!】

【Xiang Wentian, Lord of Tianwang: Heh, “Gentleman Sword”? Yue Buqun is nothing but a hypocrite!】

【Lu Xiaofeng with Four Eyebrows: Yue Sect Leader may not be evil, but he is undoubtedly rigid and stubborn.】

【Chu Liuxiang, the Bandit Chief: Exactly! Yue Sect Leader always prioritizes the reputation of the Huashan Sect over the life of his own disciple.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: The conflict between Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong was inevitable.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: Yue Buqun belongs to the older generation. He has a deep-seated blood feud with the Sun Moon Sect and has lived through too much. His worldview is already fixed, which makes him so stubborn.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: But Linghu Chong is different. He’s just a young man in his twenties.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: He was raised in a righteous sect, bound by moral principles, believing that noble sects should be upright and chivalrous.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: But what did he witness after leaving the mountain?】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: The Qingcheng Sect is a so-called noble sect, yet they wiped out the entire Fu Wei Escort Agency just for the Bixie Sword Manual.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: The Songshan Sect is also a noble sect, yet they slaughtered Liu Zhengfeng’s entire family. Fei Bin, the “Great Songyang Hand,” showed his true ugly colors and even killed Linghu Chong’s benefactor, the young girl Qu Feiyan!】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: All of this completely contradicts the education Linghu Chong received as a child.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: On the contrary, the so-called evil cult members whom Yue Buqun condemned as wicked were the ones who first saved his life.】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: Having witnessed and experienced so much death and betrayal, how could Linghu Chong not be confused and lost?】

【Yang Yan, the Stunning Immortal: Forget about Linghu Chong—just ask little nun Yilin in the livestream. Does she still dare to trust those so-called righteous sects?】

【Hou Xibai, the Romantic Scholar: The Immortal’s analysis is incredibly thorough and reasonable! Truly a woman of remarkable intellect—admirable!】

…

Yang Yan’s words were unbiased and incredibly insightful, immediately earning the admiration of many. Inside the livestream, Ye Luochuan also nodded in approval.

At the core of it, the conflict between Yue Buqun and Linghu Chong stemmed from a generational gap, personality differences, and vastly different experiences. Both were grown men with independent minds, it was difficult for them to fully accept each other’s perspectives.

And that was the fundamental reason behind their discord. Seeing Yilin’s bewildered expression, filled with doubt about everything she had believed in, Ye Luochuan reassured her:

“Little nun, there’s no need to be so troubled.”

“If you ask me, the Sun Moon Sect is probably not much better than the Qingcheng and Songshan Sects.”

“Calling them a demonic cult may not be entirely unjustified.”

“But as the saying goes—‘A tree bears both sour and sweet fruit; children of the same mother may be wise or foolish.’”

“Let alone a large faction.”

“Even if the Sun Moon Sect is an evil cult full of atrocities, does that mean there are no good people among them? Are they all irredeemable villains who must be slaughtered indiscriminately?”

“The righteous sects claim to stand for justice. Take your own sect’s Dingyi Shitai—though she has a fiery temper, she possesses a chivalrous and righteous heart. But does that mean every member of a righteous sect is just like Dingyi Shitai, all being virtuous and kind?”

“The Qingcheng Sect abuses power, harasses innocent women, covets a sword manual, and massacres an entire family.”

“The Songshan Sect, no less ruthless, annihilates families to instill fear in others. Their disciples are arrogant and overbearing, acting like they own the world.”

“Their actions—how are they any different from the so-called demonic cult?”

“Whether a person is good or evil, kind or wicked, their environment plays a role, but it can never be a simple black-and-white judgment.”

“A lotus grows from the mud—does that make it filthy?”

“Where there are people, there is a Jianghu (martial world). Where there is a Jianghu, there is scheming, deception, and betrayal. But there are also heroes who move heaven and earth with their righteousness.”

“This world is not just black and white—it is filled with countless shades of color.”

“If you can’t control others, then just be true to yourself and live with a clear conscience.”

“Clinging too rigidly to one idea and imprisoning yourself in it will only bring unnecessary suffering.”

After Ye Luochuan finished speaking, Yilin stared at him in a daze. Then, as if a great weight had been lifted from her, her previously confused and doubtful eyes turned clear and bright with understanding.

The young nun’s fair cheeks glowed with a soft radiance as she put her hands together in gratitude.

“Many thanks to Young Master Ye for your guidance.”

Just as Yang Yan had pointed out, after witnessing the actions of the Qingcheng and Songshan Sects, Yilin had lost faith in the so-called righteous factions.

But Ye Luochuan’s words were like a morning bell or an evening drum, awakening her. She realized that people are not all the same, and one cannot judge righteousness or wickedness based solely on someone’s origins. Yilin’s heart became enlightened.

…

Lianxing also looked at Ye Luochuan with a trace of surprise. She hadn’t expected that despite his young age, he possessed such insight and saw things with such clarity. Long Xiaoyun remained expressionless, his reaction indifferent.

Tian Boguang, on the other hand, laughed and said, “Kid, though I don’t like you, I have to admit—this time, you finally spoke like a human being.”

Ye Luochuan glanced at Tian Boguang before turning to Yilin and saying, “Look, scum like him truly are irredeemable villains who deserve to be eliminated on sight.”

“I know you have a compassionate heart and dislike taking lives.”

“But if you kill one predator like him, you can indirectly save ten, a hundred, even a thousand innocent lives from being harmed. Why wouldn’t you?”

Hearing this, Yilin turned to glance at Tian Boguang, nodding hesitantly, as if slowly beginning to understand.
