Full-time Swordsman

Bang!

A figure stood in front of Lin Jichen in time. It was Lin Jichen's second master, Elder Tianqing.

"Old Yuan! What are you doing? Are you really going to kill my disciple?" Tianqing shouted with a dark face.

Tianyuan was also a little unhappy and said, "Old Yuan, you are a little too much. No matter what, Lin Jichen is the disciple of the master. Even if you want to kill him, you have to ask the master, right?"

Elder Tianjian said silently: "Lin Jichen's contact with the demon cultivator violates the clan law. The master is not here. I am in charge of the clan. Naturally, I have to strictly enforce it. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Even if he is the master's own disciple, as long as he violates the clan law, I will clear the door!"

Seeing that Elder Tianjian was impassive, Tianqing and Tianyuan were also helpless. They knew the temper of this old friend very well. He was famous for being iron-faced and impartial.

Other things are easy to talk about, but as long as it involves the issue of demon cultivators, no one can persuade him.

When Chu Tianhan went out to practice when he was young, he also met a demon cultivator friend and drank with him.

When Elder Tianjian found out, he was furious and beat Chu Tianhan half to death, and forced him to kill the demon cultivator.

After that, Chu Tianhan was locked up in Jingsi Cliff for half a year, even if Leng Feiyan came forward to mediate and persuade him at that time, it was useless.

Just when the two elders Tianqing and Tianyuan were anxious and didn't know what to do, Lin Jichen walked around them tremblingly and walked to Elder Tianjian.

His face was pale, but his eyes were still clear and bright with determination.

"Elder, in this world, there is no clear definition of black and white, good and bad, and the same is true for good and evil. I want to ask, is there no evil in the righteous sect?"

Elder Tianjian was speechless for a moment.

Lin Jichen continued, "Disciple, let me ask again, is there no good person in the Demon Sect?"

"Of course, there may be evil people in the Orthodox Sect, but there can be no good people in the Demon Sect!" Tianjian said firmly.

Lin Jichen denied it immediately, "Grand Elder, you are wrong."

"What did I do wrong?" Tianjian asked with a fierce look.

Lin Jichen was not frightened, but replied calmly: "You think there are no good people in the demon path, but you haven't met them. How can we distinguish good from bad in this world just because of a title? Some people join the demon cultivation, perhaps for unspeakable reasons. We can't generalize. There are good and bad monsters, let alone humans."

"Although Baili Canfeng is a demon cultivator, I can conclude that he is not a bad person. When the Xiyun City guarded by my junior sister experienced a desperate beast tide, he took action in time to help the people in the city resist the beast tide attack, which delayed us disciples to come to support. Let me ask the great elder, is this also considered a bad person?"

The Tianjian elder was unable to answer.

Seeing that he couldn't say anything, Lin Jichen continued: "I, Lin Jichen, make friends only with a clear conscience. I never look at the other person's status, but only at his character and morality. If he is a villain, no matter how high his status is, I will disdain him. If he is a gentleman, even if he is a beggar on the street, I can still drink and chat with him. What does it matter if he is a righteous way or a demon? As long as I have a clear conscience, it's fine. If people really only judge good and bad based on righteousness and evil, isn't it ridiculous?"

Lin Jichen's words moved everyone.

Even Chu Tianhan, who had been indifferent, unexpectedly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jichen in surprise. Then he seemed to remember something, and the loneliness in his eyes flashed.

Elder Tianqing and Elder Tianyuan both nodded silently. In fact, they also thought so, but Tianjian had a knot in his heart and was too stubborn.

Lin Jichen looked at Elder Tianjian calmly again and said, "Great Elder, please forgive me for speaking frankly. You don't hate the demon cultivators. You only hate... that person."

After these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Elder Tianjian seemed to remember that sad night. The flames of hatred rose and exploded, and his face was extremely ugly.

But the next second, he seemed to have drained all his strength and seemed to have aged a lot.

Whoosh!

A sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

Then Lin Jichen was hit hard and flew out.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that the person who made the move was Chu Tianhan.

Chu Tianhan attacked angrily, his eyes were unfriendly, he looked coldly at Lin Jichen who fell to the ground, and said viciously: "You dare to disrespect my master, I will not forgive you!"

Lin Jichen got up from the ground, coughed up blood again, and said slowly: "I know I was disrespectful to the elders, but I was telling the truth. I respect the great elder Tianjian, and I don't want him to be blinded by hatred. Others dare not say it, but I will say it, even if I die here today. Wrong is wrong, right is right!"

As he said, Lin Jichen glanced at the whole audience and asked: "Have any of you heard of Baili Canfeng doing anything evil?"

No one in the room said anything, and other disciples of the Demon Sect often had news of doing evil.

For exampleFor example, Li Xinghun and Situ Zhao, these senior disciples have done many cruel and inhumane things that harmed the people.

But there has never been any news of Baili Canfeng doing evil.

On the contrary, some disciples have heard that Baili Canfeng has done many good things. For example, it is rumored that Baili Canfeng once saved thousands of people who were about to be killed in the hands of a small demon sect.

Some people also heard that Baili Canfeng once deliberately went to a demon master's house to cause trouble because he couldn't stand his actions, and then killed the other party.

Now thinking back, Baili Canfeng seems to be really different from other demon cultivators.

Lin Jichen straightened his chest and said in a resounding voice: "Our Sword Sect is a famous and upright sect! It is our responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way, but we should not be indiscriminate about right and wrong. Baili Canfeng is not only my friend, but also the savior of Xiyun City. The people of the city are safe because of his actions. He has done nothing wrong. If we kill him, what is the difference between us and the demon thieves who kill innocent people? Isn't it repaying kindness with enmity?"

Lin Jichen's words were like knives stabbing everyone's hearts, and everyone present was speechless.

Elder Tianjian's expression was heavy, and his face gradually turned red. He was not only angry but also guilty.

Chu Tianhan on the side was also silent. He seemed to remember something, with a complicated expression. Looking at Elder Tianjian next to him, he was hesitant to speak, and finally gave up and stopped talking.

Lin Jichen continued, "I can also swear to heaven that if one day Baili Canfeng harms the people and commits many evil deeds, I promise to get rid of him with my own hands! No second thoughts!"

After that, Lin Jichen walked to Elder Tianjian again and said, "Elder Tianjian, I respect you. It was my fault for being disrespectful to you before. I have finished my words. If you want to do it, come on."

Then, Lin Jichen opened his arms, closed his eyes, and went to die calmly.

Elder Tianjian raised his arm, but finally put it down.

Baili Canfeng, who was locked up on the other side of the hall, watched the whole process and laughed, and laughed very happily.
