Chapter 324: Victories and Losses
“Do you want to come with me?” Lin Yi involuntarily asked, looking at her in surprise.
Just now she tried to stop him. And now I was going to go with him?
“Yes,” she nodded seriously..
“But you yourself just explained how dangerous it is. And you probably understand better than I how low our chances of survival are..”
She was silent for quite a long time, thinking about the answer..
“Brother Lin Yi, your words brought me to my senses. I only wanted to use you and the Five Mountain Swords to take revenge on the Holy Cult, but now I seem to understand what separates the righteous and vicious sects. All my life I lived in hatred, moved from place to place, not knowing what home was, and thought only about revenge. But... I don't believe in it anymore. I really want to become part of the Five Mountain Swords, and for this I must protect you - or rather, us, along with the rest. I want to have a place to call home.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. Even though her words were rather naive and simple, maybe even stupid, he felt sympathy.
Once upon a time they were similar. He didn't care about other people's problems either. Perhaps, only when he found himself in three years of imprisonment did he understand what it was to miss home and familiar faces. For the first time in my life I felt fear for someone other than myself.
Huashan became his home. And he will not allow anyone to destroy it. For every leaf on any of their trees, their enemies will pay with their lives..
