Chapter 175

Yue Lingshan had already exchanged the beginning and end of the matter with Linghu Chong in a low voice; although she was also shocked by Gu Hanyuan's deterrence to an evil thief like Tian Boguan who was famous in the Jianghu, she also knew that the knife wounds on Linghu Chong were all given by Tian Boguan, so she was dissatisfied when she heard Linghu Chong plead for him:

"Senior Brother, Tian Boguan hurt you like this, and you are still pleading for him?"

"That's why I want to thank Brother Tian for showing mercy, otherwise I would have died under his knife long ago."

Linghu Chong didn't care.

Yue Lingshan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Linghu Chong with his eyes, and could only turn her head away unhappily without looking at him.

"No! He killed Baicheng; just keeping filial piety for three years and wanting to write it off is too good to be true, right? A life for a life!"

Taoist Tiansong originally saw that the scene had been controlled by Gu Hanyuan, and Tian Boguan's life and death were also in a single thought, and he was eating melons quietly on the side, but he heard Linghu Chong pleading; if Tian Boguan was let go because of this, wouldn't Chi Baicheng die in vain? How could he bear this?

"Uncle Tiansong, Tian Boguan has a heart of repentance; why not give him a chance to turn over a new leaf? If you think three years is not enough, five years, ten years are all negotiable; why must you kill him?"

Linghu Chong stepped forward to persuade Taoist Tiansong like a good old man.

"Hmph! Linghu Chong, you are actually friends with a lecherous thief like Tian Boguan; I really don't know if Junior Brother Yue taught you well or if you acted on your own."

Taoist Tiansong saw Linghu Chong insist on maintaining Tian Boguan, and couldn't help but speak out with sarcasm.

"Uncle Tiansong, how can you insult my father!"

Yue Lingshan was originally dissatisfied with Linghu Chong maintaining Tian Boguan, but Taoist Tiansong was insulting her father by bending the corners, how could she bear it.

"Hmph! Yue Buqun taught a disciple who is friends with a lecherous thief; how good can he be?"

Taoist Tiansong had always been as urgent as fire; since he had a conflict with the Huashan Sect, he was too lazy to do superficial work and called Yue Buqun by his name directly.

"You!"

Yue Lingshan was anxious.

But as a small disciple, she had no way to deal with a senior of Taoist Tiansong's level.

Others were polite to her because she was Yue Buqun's daughter; if they didn't look at Yue Buqun's face, who would take her seriously.

"Taoist Tiansong's words are a bit biased."

Gu Hanyuan didn't intend to intervene in the conflict between Huashan and Taishan, and he didn't look down on the hypocrite Yue Buqun.

But seeing Yue Lingshan so angry that her eyes were about to turn red, he still spoke out to help.

"Oh? I don't know what advice Gu Shaoxia has?"

Taoist Tiansong was not stupid; he knew Gu Hanyuan was a Grandmaster and didn't dare to confront him hard, not to mention that he saved his life, so he had to suppress his anger and see what Gu Hanyuan wanted to say.

"Although I have never met Sect Master Yue, Miss Yue is pure, kind, and distinct in love and hate; Sect Master Yue, who can teach such a good daughter, is clearly not a person who has a name but no reality. Please apologize to Miss Yue, Taoist Tiansong."

Gu Hanyuan's tone was serious and earnest.

"You..."

Taoist Tiansong wanted to attack when he heard Gu Hanyuan asking him to apologize to a junior like Yue Lingshan, but after making contact with his gaze, he couldn't help but take a step back and couldn't say any more hard words, because he saw Gu Hanyuan's gaze like two sharp swords stabbing into his heart.

Taoist Tiansong was startled by Gu Hanyuan and couldn't be tough anymore; after hesitating for a moment, he arched his hands toward Yue Lingshan and said two painless words as an apology.

Yue Lingshan couldn't listen to the perfunctory words of Taoist Tiansong at all at this time, because Chen Xiao just stood up for her, and his words were very protective of her; clearly, he was not helping her because of her father Yue Buqun's identity, but because she was Yue Lingshan, so he helped her speak out.

And he forced Taoist Tiansong to bow his head, which gave her a lot of face.

Except for her parents and the senior brothers of the Huashan Sect, no one had ever treated her so well.

Yue Lingshan saw her eyes flowing, staring at Gu Hanyuan, no longer avoiding his gaze.

When she saw Gu Hanyuan smiling at her, she also smiled slightly shyly in response.

Linghu Chong watched the interaction between Gu Hanyuan and Yue Lingshan from the side, as if the whole space was filled with peach-colored atmosphere, feeling more and more sour, and couldn't help but interrupt this atmosphere:

"Gu Shaoxia, please let Brother Tian go once."

Although Taoist Tiansong lost face just now, he didn't leave, standing on the side wanting to see what the end of Tian Boguan would be.

If Gu Hanyuan let him go in the end, he would definitely go everywhere to spread the bad reputation of Gu Hanyuan colluding with flower-picking thieves.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at Taoist Tiansong, and although he saw his purpose, he didn't care.

After hearing Linghu Chong plead again, he asked:

"Brother Tian? Let him go? Brother Linghu, do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how many women have been humiliated by Tian Boguan to earn his reputation today? Did they suffer the humiliation in vain? Do you know how many women have been humiliated and committed suicide? What position do you, Linghu Chong, have to plead for Tian Boguan?"

Linghu Chong was asked by Gu Hanyuan's few heart-punishing words until his face turned slightly pale; after all, Tian Boguan had done so many evil things before, completely unreasonable, but he didn't want to watch Tian Boguan die in front of him, so he had to bite the bullet and block in front of Chen Xiao.

"Even if Tian Boguan did many evil things before and hurt many women, he has a heart of repentance now; why not give him a chance to let him atone for his previous deeds in the future."

"If Miss Yue was also humiliated by Tian Boguan, could you also give him a chance? Let him go?"

Gu Hanyuan's words were like knives, just to punish the heart.

By the way, spoil Linghu Chong's image in Yue Lingshan's mind; it's good if it becomes, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

"This..."

Linghu Chong's face was like earth, and he hesitated for a moment; on one side was the Junior Sister he admired, and on the other was the life of Tian Boguan, who he talked happily with, and he was difficult to choose for a while.

"Senior Brother!"

Yue Lingshan was full of disappointment when she saw the hesitating Linghu Chong.

Yue Lingshan was not without feelings for Linghu Chong; after all, they were childhood sweethearts, and it was normal to have admiration.

However, seeing Linghu Chong still hesitating on the matter of her being humiliated, her favorability dropped down with a crash.

After all, women are always unreasonable in some aspects; no matter what the reason is in the middle, she only wants the man's protection.

Not to mention that Gu Hanyuan was a pearl in front, which highlighted how much Linghu Chong dropped points at this time.
