Chapter 45: You don

Actually, some characters in movies and TV shows, when you watch them at first, you feel that the protagonist is truly great, upright, and righteous, and the villain is truly annoying!

However, as you get older and look back, the situation might be reversed!

For example, the protagonist Yi Yi Xiaochuan and the villain Gao Yao in *The Myth*!

Looking back, you only feel that Gao Yao represents the general public.

As for the protagonist Yi Yi Xiaochuan? He can only be considered an ideal existence, not grounded at all!

And this Nephew Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun are the same!

Think about the original work, how many people knew that Nephew Linghu Chong had received the inheritance of Feng Feng Qingyang’s *Nine Swords of Dugu*?

Tian Tian Boguang knew, and the Shaolin high monks knew, and Ren Woxing’s family knew!

But instead, he kept his mouth shut in front of Yue Buqun and his wife.

He would rather be misunderstood by Yue Buqun and the others, who guessed that his *Nine Swords of Dugu* was actually the Lin family’s *Bixie Sword Technique*, and he never thought about telling the truth!

Is this keeping a promise? This is completely failing to distinguish between what is important and what is not, right?

Think about the situation of the Huashan Sect; because of the dispute between the Qi and Sword schools, the entire sect had fallen to the point where there were only a few cats and kittens left!

Yue Buqun had to think about how to resist the Sun Moon Holy Cult from the outside!

And think about how to deal with the annexation of the Songshan Sect from the inside; this pressure is self-evident!

But what about Nephew Linghu Chong? On the surface, he values loyalty. He is very loyal to Xiang Wentian, Qu Yang, Ren Ren Yingying, and even to those Four Friends of Peach Valley and Tian Tian Boguang.

But has he ever considered the pressure his own Master has to endure while he associates with these people?

The situation of the Mount Hua Sect was already precarious, and with the head disciple spending every day with these demonic cultists, how was Yue Buqun supposed to conduct himself?

Valuing loyalty is not wrong! But one must be able to distinguish between what is important and what is not, right?

It’s just like a person who acts very loyal outside, always rushing to pay the bill at gatherings with friends!

If you could truly take good care of your wife and children at home, then go out and treat others, no one would say a word against you!

But your children at home are starving, yet you are out eating and drinking every day, rushing to pay the bill?

Is this loyalty?

In Li Li Lianhua’s view, Nephew Linghu Chong is likely just such a person!

"Divine Physician Li, what, what do you mean by that?" Nephew Linghu Chong was stunned, never expecting Li Li Lianhua to suddenly say he had failed his Master!

"Regarding the conflict between the Qi and Sword schools of the Mount Hua Sect, although you don't know the root cause, you should at least know that it was precisely because of this matter that the Mount Hua Sect took a sharp turn for the worse, right?"

"The current Mount Hua Sect can be described as precarious; on the surface, it is supported only by your Master and your Mistress!"

"They treat you like their own son, and they rely on you, their chief disciple, to help them!"

"But think about your recent actions: first, you became sworn brothers with Tian Tian Boguang, then you offended the Qingcheng Sect, and next, you got involved in the affairs of Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng!"

"As the head disciple, not only are you not helping, you are actually causing trouble!" Li Li Lianhua said to Nephew Linghu Chong!

"This..." Hearing what Li Li Lianhua said, Nephew Linghu Chong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute it!

Li Li Lianhua changed the subject and continued: "Secondly, since you learned the Nine Swords of Dugu from Feng Feng Qingyang, have you never thought that by exposing such superb swordsmanship while stubbornly refusing to reveal its origin, people would mistake you for having obtained the Evil-Warding Sword Manual?"

"After all, you were the one guarding Lin Zhennan when he died!"

"Keeping a promise is a good thing, but it is not right to harm others to keep a promise, let alone your own family!"

To tell the truth, although Yue Buqun had lectured him on grand principles before, Nephew Linghu Chong had never taken them to heart!

But today, Nephew Linghu Chong truly listened to the principles Li Li Lianhua spoke of!

Some people are just like this: they cannot listen to the admonitions of those close to them, but they can reflect carefully on the advice of outsiders!

Nephew Linghu Chong had never considered the things Li Li Lianhua said before; he had always acted solely on his own whims!

But now, after Li Li Lianhua’s analysis, Nephew Linghu Chong felt a sense of sudden enlightenment; the things he had done recently were indeed quite foolish!

Recently, the conflict between him and his Master had been deepening, and he had felt that his Master was narrow-minded and that he himself was in the right!

But now it seemed he was indeed the one in the wrong!

"They say Divine Physician Li has an extremely powerful intelligence network and deep knowledge of many secrets of the Wu Lin; today, I have finally witnessed it!"

"I wonder, what does Divine Physician Li think I should do next?" After a moment of silence, Nephew Linghu Chong asked for guidance!

"First, didn't you discover the burial place of the ten elders of the Sun Moon Divine Cult at the Cliff of Repentance? There are many lost martial arts and counter-moves of the Five Mountains Sword Sects there. You could take your Master to see them, right?"

"Secondly, there is no need to hide the existence of Feng Feng Qingyang. If used well, he is the true pillar of your Mount Hua Sect!"

"Finally, you should also bring out the Lin family's Evil-Warding Sword Manual..." Li Li Lianhua said!

"The Lin family's Evil-Warding Sword Manual? Divine Physician Li, I really don't know where it is!" Hearing this, Nephew Linghu Chong looked wronged and aggrieved!

"You don't know, but I do!" ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
