Chapter 84: Kill Old Han Boss
The so-called Desperate Scholar was just an ordinary Scholar in front of Mu Can.
When the Desperate Scholar was still a poor Scholar named Di Ying, he secretly pledged his life to a daughter from a minor clan. When they were planning to elope but got discovered, he had no choice but to flee alone. However, he was ambushed at Yunlong Mountain.
The Clan Leader Han recognized his literary skills and let him join the group. Di Ying, feeling hopeless in achieving success through the imperial examinations, settled down on Yunlong Mountain, but he never forgot the young lady of that small clan.
After going down the mountain and finding out that the lady he had sworn his life to had married a Cultivator, he immediately rushed back to Yunlong Mountain and led Clan Leader Han and his men to massacre her entire clan.
He then raped the lady in front of the clan leader and finally stabbed him to death.
Human nature is such; when you decide to descend into depravity, your mind will come up with countless reasons to justify it.
Since then, there ceased to be a Scholar named Di Ying under Yunlong Mountain and there emerged an advisor called the Desperate Scholar on Yunlong Mountain.
Although it was especially hard for Di Ying to learn the doctrines of governing that were taught to him, on the mountain, Clan Leader Han gave him a unique platform to display his talents.
Barely taking the position of advisor, he reformed the distribution of spoils and benefits among the bandits, which was why Clan Leader Han’s forces grew stronger.
In recent years, the Desperate Scholar became increasingly ruthless. The genocidal strategies he recommended to Clan Leader Han were too numerous to document exhaustively.
"Can you spare my life?" the Desperate Scholar looked at Mu Can hopefully and asked.
