The crying of the children woke everyone up. They looked at Yan Wenqing with a kind of hate in their eyes. Yes, their eyes were filled with fear and envy, looking at this young man who was falling from the sky. Their hatred didn't need to know the reason for this fight, all they knew was that this unreasonable young man was going to kill this hero who had taken back the life of a child on the brink of death. They only needed to know that it was enough.

All the gazes of jealousy landed on Yan Wenqing. Yan Wenqing stared at the eyes of the bystanders, but he would not let go of the sword in his hand that was only an inch away from his enemy's throat. This sword carried the weight of a young man who wanted to avenge his dead master, and it was far more important than the gazes of hatred shot over from other people.

The child was still crying on the spot. Su Guangren walked to his side and squatted down to pick up the small windmill that fell to the ground and put it in his trembling little hand. She used her sleeve to wipe away the tears on his face.

"Don't kill him." A voice called out from the crowd. Everyone's gaze immediately shifted to Yan Wenqing. The one who spoke was Qing Lian.

Qing Lian slowly walked behind Yan Wenqing, "Young Master Yan, you can't kill him."

His eyes revealed sadness, a sadness that others would find hard to understand. This was because the expressions of the people standing around Yan Wenqing were different from before. They did not know that the sword that was raised in front of another person's throat was not killing intent but was instead filled with sadness.

He Lin Tong also did not understand this. Why was his sword not emitting any killing intent at this moment? Was it because of the sudden appearance of the Jade Maiden Sword female knight?

Yan Wenqing's sword would not pierce that throat that was an inch away from the tip of the sword, because there was not a shred of malice in the eyes of his enemy that would allow his sword to pierce through. It was a kind of good eye.

"Young Master Yan, you can't kill him. He is just a sheep living in a pack of wolves. From what I know of him, he is completely different from Liu Feng and the rest. He has never killed an innocent person."

"No, he killed someone he shouldn't have." Yan Wenqing forcefully persisted in his hatred that was about to soften. He was his enemy, and in his eyes, there was no more malice. In the end, he was still the evil person that killed his master.

"No, he is different from the others in the Hong Tong Sect. He can save a child that has nothing to do with him, and he can risk his life to save someone who is not related to him." Qing Lian's insistence had her own reasons, because the matter from twenty years ago was deeply engraved in her mind. He was not a person who would do whatever he wanted, nor was he someone who would commit many evil deeds like Liu Feng.

He Lin Tong was moved by the words of this woman, who he had met a few times before. Why did she insist on saving him?

Everyone's eyes were focused on the trembling sword in Yan Wenqing's hand.

The sunlight from the city was exceptionally bright as it shone into the crowd. Even though the children were frightened, they still continued to sob. The sword in Yan Wenqing's hand slowly fell down in midair, but the look of hatred in his eyes did not disappear.

Ni Fei walked to Yan Wenqing's side, took the sword from his hand, and patted his shoulder.

Su Guangren also walked over. Although he didn't know why Qing Lian urged him to do so, he believed that she had a reason. Yan Wenqing didn't kill He Lin Tong naturally had his reasons as well. Yan Wenqing had just taken He Lintong's life.

They once again returned to the teahouse to continue drinking tea. It was just that Yan Wenqing no longer had the interest to drink tea, and the hatred that was ignited in his eyes did not disappear. Everyone else, seeing this, did not say anything for fear of touching his sore spot.

He Ling Tong picked up the sword on the floor and slowly looked up the stairs, as if everything that had happened was too sudden and too puzzling, but he knew that this was the enemy of the Hongtong Sect, so he couldn't help but feel disappointed. The famous righteous faction had fallen to this state today, and he was an evil person, an evil person who could never wash away his reputation, an evil person who could never make up for it. He had saved a child that had nothing to do with him, but he had risked his life to save some people who were not related to him, and he still didn't understand that in the eyes of others, he was already an unpardonable person. He had saved some innocent people, so why did he have to worry about her speaking up for someone like him?
