Chapter 983 Let go

The Casting God Front clan.

"Clan leader, the boy from the Jianyao Sect has passed out." A disciple in plain clothes reported faithfully.

The Zhushenfeng Clan leader's fingers paused while flipping through the book, but soon he buried his head again and refused to listen.

Chen Ruo on the side was anxious: "Grandpa Patriarch, he has been kneeling for so long, can he prove his sincerity?"

A few months ago, Nan Jingbai visited the Zhushenfeng clan for the first time and was rejected. Instead of leaving, he knelt down directly outside the village. Day after day, no matter whether he was exposed to the wind, sun, or rain,

No matter whether he was wet or ridiculed by the young children in the clan, he always knelt on the same spot and never moved a step.

By now, he finally lost his strength and passed out. He was discovered by his disciples who were out collecting medicine.

"Grandpa Patriarch!" Chen Ruo stamped his feet anxiously. Now that Nan Jingbai has fainted, the Patriarch not only refuses to see him, but also refuses to even order his clan members to treat him. Do they really want to see him die outside?

"If you are so unkind, Ruo'er won't like you! You often teach us about etiquette, justice, integrity, are you just talking about it?"

"The best way to retaliate against someone who has wronged us is not to lower our personality to the same level as him, but to stand on a higher moral level and make him feel ashamed. Isn't this right?"

Chen Ruo, who had always been quiet, actually spoke a long paragraph in one breath this time. At the same time, she frowned, pursed her lips, lightly twisted her sleeves with her fingers, but looked directly at the patriarch, with a look on her face.

It is "righteous speech".

Perhaps influenced by her persistence, the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan finally sighed: "Let him come in."

…

In the deep darkness, a ray of light dimly penetrated.

Nan Jingbai slowly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but take a greedy breath of fresh air that poured into his nose. Only then did he have time to raise his eyes and look around.

"Young man, are you awake?" An old man in brocade clothes stood in front of him. His face was full of lines scratched by time, but those slender eyes, Nan Jingbai looked at him for a moment.

, you know that this person must be a rare strong man. I am afraid that he is also in the realm of Tongtian, and his strength is not inferior to that of the sect master!

"This is...?" Nan Jingbai felt his throat was dry after not eating or drinking for many days. He rolled his eyes hard and glanced back and forth on the roof of the dilapidated shack.

The petite Chen Ruo was the first to sit by the bed, held his hand, and introduced enthusiastically: "This is my patriarch, grandpa. He has promised to help you. Why don't you thank him quickly?" As he said this,

, kept winking at him.

She urged Nan Jingbai to express her gratitude. On the one hand, she was eager to tell him the good news. But more importantly, once he, as a descendant, expressed his thanks, as a wealthy man who kept his promise, the patriarch would not be able to openly go back on his words. In this way,

Only then can this matter be truly finalized.

The leader of the Zhushenfeng clan seemed to notice her little thoughts. Before Nan Jingbai could answer, he waved his hand coldly: "I'm not busy."

"Young man, let me ask you a question first. You keep saying that you want to ask us, the Shen Shen Feng clan, to help you. So, why do you think I should help you?"

Nan Jingbai blurted out and was about to answer, but the leader of Zhushenfeng interrupted him again. His eyes were deep, as if he wanted to look into his heart.

"Think carefully before answering. Your answer may very well be related to the outcome of your visit this time."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became serious, full of the feeling that a storm was about to come at the last moment at the negotiation table. Chen Ruo looked anxiously at this and that, but it was inconvenient for her to interrupt in this situation, so she could only secretly say it in her heart.

pray.

Why did I come? Nan Jingbai didn’t have to think about this question originally. After arriving at the Zhushenfeng clan, he kept saying “to save the innocent disciples of the Jian Kiln Sect”. Even now, his answer

It remained unchanged. But at this moment, he suddenly hesitated.

If the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan asked him, "What do the innocent disciples of your Jian Kiln Sect have to do with me?" How should he answer? Yes, those are living human lives, but the other party is not a philanthropist, and it is not that there is any difficulty.

He had to rush to help. What's more, it was a force that had hundreds of years of grudge against him.

It stands to reason that they would prefer to hear some original answers from an eccentric outsider. But Nan Jingbai's thinking has always been quite satisfactory, and it is indeed too difficult for him to talk nonsense.

In order to prevent the unique skills of the Shenfeng family from being wasted? Even he himself felt that such an argument was too hypocritical.

In any case, the Jian Yao Sect is here to ask for help. Since they are asking for help, they should not put on a high profile of giving favors. Has anyone in their entire sect ever thought about making a name for the Shen Shen Feng clan? No! Since there is no such thing

, he couldn’t speak confidently.

Nan Jingbai was silent for a long time, and Chen Ruo looked at him anxiously. She really wished she could send a message to him directly and let him say a few words casually.

The leader of the Zhushenfeng Clan was very patient. He always put his hands behind his back and looked at him thoughtfully. And his eyes were always like the rolling sea, completely covering his heart under the heavy

Under the deep sea.

How should I answer? How should I answer? Beads of sweat have appeared on Nan Jingbai's forehead. The more anxious he is, the more chaotic his thoughts are at the moment.

If the patriarch is really determined not to help me, he can just ask someone to throw me out... He is willing to see me not just to humiliate me, but to give me a chance. The question is, can I succeed?

take this opportunity……

What exactly does the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan want? It’s not to see his enemy die. Then, is it money, reputation, or...

manner?

If what he wants is just an attitude from Jian Kiln Sect, then the answer should be...

"Because," Nan Jingbai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head, "this is the only chance for the two races to resolve their grudges!"

Just now, Nan Jingbai thought of a blind spot that he had asked for help so far.

Every time, what he said was "ask the patriarch to save the innocent disciples of the Jianyao Sect", and what he repeatedly emphasized was "the Jianyao Sect".

The Zhushenfeng clan is just a tool for them to use. After solving the urgent needs of the "Sword Kiln Sect", they will throw it away. Because they have never said that they want to "resolve their grudges" with the Zhushenfeng clan...

…

Since the grudges have not been resolved, the two sides are still opposing forces, so why are they willing to help you?

Perhaps what the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan wants is an attitude, an attitude that the sword kiln master is willing to admit his mistakes and rebuild the good relationship with the Zhushenfeng clan!

After he took the risk and said this sentence with a bet mentality, the eyes of the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan briefly fluctuated.

"Oh? Keep talking."

Nan Jingbai didn't know whether he was right in his bet, but he felt deeply and continued to speak in one breath.

"The innocent disciples of the Jian Yao Sect have nothing to do with you; whether the Zhushenfeng clan can become famous or not has nothing to do with us. Only the two sides can resolve their grievances, which is a real thing for our two clans."

"The past cannot be changed, but we can change the present. Defects that are not repaired will always remain defects."

"It is indeed tragic to make mistakes, but what is more tragic than making mistakes is knowing that you are wrong but never being willing to correct it."

"The old grudges between the two clans have been settled to this day. Although I don't know what happened between you, I know that you must have regretted it before, but no one is willing to take the first step. Now,

This 'joint refining' is an excellent opportunity and gives us a common step."

"The clan leader has already faced up to his mistakes, and he is willing to apologize to the Zhushenfeng clan. So, is the clan leader also willing to face up to his mistakes?"

The leader of the Zhushenfeng clan narrowed his eyes dangerously: "My mistake? The one who betrayed his trust is your sect master. What mistake did I make?"

"...Escape." Nan Jingbai paused, and continued regardless of Chen Ruo's look at him, "Chief, you did not make a mistake against your friends, but you made the biggest mistake against yourself and your tribe.

That's escapism."

"Maybe the sect master's betrayal of you has hurt you a lot, but if you choose to hide from the world in a fit of anger, isn't it very irresponsible for your own life?"

"The competition in the world is so fierce. Who dares to say that you will be famous all over the world if you debut for the first time? It doesn't matter if you fail once, as long as you stand up and keep moving forward. If you fail ten or a hundred times, you will always have a chance of success! Now, because of your temporary motivation,

Hundreds of years of time have been wasted, and you blame all of this on our sect master, but haven't you ever thought that the greater responsibility is actually yourself?"

"Perhaps he robbed you of an opportunity and established a firm foothold on the mainland. But if back then, your choice was not to retire as a whole, but to continue to struggle, to this day, with the refinement of the Shenfeng clan,

The status of our craftsmanship in the outside world may have already surpassed that of our Sword Kiln Sect!"

"What he took away was an opportunity from you, but what you took away was your enterprising spirit. He harmed you, but you harmed those who trusted you wholeheartedly and were willing to follow

Your clansmen who have retired to seclusion."

"What you're doing is completely 'punishing yourself with other people's mistakes'. Have you ever thought about it?"

The always calm face of the leader of the Zhushenfeng clan suddenly changed, his legs went weak, and he fell down uncontrollably.

"Grandpa Patriarch..." Chen Ruo quickly supported him. And her heart also fell heavily.

It's over, the patriarch will definitely not help this time...

"Patriarch, have you seen the scene in the village?" Nan Jingbai spoke again, the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "The people in the village are sweating profusely every day refining weapons, but even though they have made something that satisfies them

In the end, their weapons can only be discarded in the corner. Because you prohibit them from interacting with outsiders, their hard work cannot be circulated on the market and cannot be recognized by the world. For a weapon refiner, this

It is the greatest sadness."

"Clan leader, our clan leader made mistakes, but what's wrong with your clan members? Why can't they do what they want to do calmly and must they die here with you?"

"I can see that you also regret it, right? You also want to lift the ban, but you have been gambling for hundreds of years. You can't lose your temper, can you?"

"So, let us take this step this time. We will apologize to you and we will clear your name. And you only need to choose whether to accept it or not."

"However, we have done what we should do, and from now on, we have a clear conscience. If you still insist on trapping yourself in hatred, it has nothing to do with us!"

The leader of the Zhushenfeng clan was silent for a long time, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile that was somewhat nostalgic: "Does your sect leader really want to resolve your grudges with me?"

Nan Jingbai bowed his head deeply: "There is not a day that goes by that he doesn't want to see you and apologize to you in person."

The leader of Zhushenfeng fell silent again. Nan Jingbai struck while the iron was hot and continued: "If the leader is willing to take a step back and promote the two tribes to join forces, then you two can get back together and sit together to discuss the art of weapon refining.

.The younger generations of the two tribes can also play together and learn from each other, instead of being like enemies and staying away from each other forever. It is better to dissolve enemies than to end them. If you let others go, you will also let yourself go."
