The Otherworldly God

Chapter 355

Le Zhengqin's decision was obviously the result of careful consideration. He was prepared to sacrifice his personal reputation to protect the safety of the people in Jimen Pass and the Le Zheng family. Although this decision would cause strong reactions and criticism from the outside world, making him bear the stigma of being ungrateful and even infamous for eternity, he firmly believed that at the critical moment of the safety of his family and the people, his personal reputation and status should give way to greater responsibilities and missions.

It is undeniable that this action of his was the exercise of his last important authority as the head of the family. He believed that this was his responsibility to his family and the people.

However, this decision undoubtedly brought great pressure and challenges to Le Zhengqin. For the safety of his family and the people, he was willing to bear all the consequences.

As his apprentice, Le Zheng Hongjun was shocked and worried about his decision, but he understood that his master was not the kind of rash person who would act on impulse, and thought that he must have an important reason.

Le Zhengqin considered it over and over again, and revised it twice before he finally finished writing it. Le Zhenghongjun could see that he was trying his best to make it more heartless.

Le Zhengqin still handed him the written notice. Le Zhenghongjun took it and felt it was as heavy as a jack.

With red eyes and tears in his eyes, he asked: "Master, are you really going to do this?"

"Yes."

Le Zhengqin's answer was very firm and did not allow Le Zhenghongjun to doubt it.

Le Zheng Hongjun trembled as he put the notice into his sleeves, turned around and took two steps, but couldn't help turning his head back and asked with tears in his eyes: "Is there a reason?" Seeing Le Zhengqin hesitate, he gritted his teeth and asked: "Is it because my disciple doesn't understand the ways of the world and therefore doesn't deserve to know?"

Le Zhengqin understood that he thought he didn't trust him enough. Facing this apprentice who depended on him like a father and son, Le Zhengqin suddenly wanted to rely on him.

"I can't say it out loud, so you can understand and believe what I said. Lezheng is about to face a catastrophe, but for some reasons, I can't explain the situation to everyone. Not all people in Lezheng are loyal, so I have to use this ruthless method, so that the people can leave Jimen Pass safely and sever their relationship with our Lezheng, so that they can survive. This is the catastrophe that our Lezheng is about to face, and there is no reason to let them suffer the disaster with us. The incident in Donghai Pavilion happened too recently, so it is still fresh in my memory."

Yue Zheng Hongjun naturally knew the inside story of Donghai Pavilion and understood what Yue Zhengqin meant by "not all of them are loyal people". Although it was hard to believe, the complexity of human hearts, and the affairs of Donghai Pavilion made him understand, even the dumbest person could understand.

"Can't I tell you?" Le Zheng Hongjun suddenly became worried and refused, "I will never leave. It's clearly written above that during the retreat, Le Zheng cannot leave Jimen Pass even a step. Otherwise, their cultivation will be abolished and they will be expelled from the position of Le Zheng."

Le Zhengqin knew that his thoughts had been seen through, but he still wanted to try hard and said: "You have to think clearly. As my apprentice, if you stay, you will have to bear the consequences with me. You will be cursed and executed with a ruthless face. You may even die with a bad reputation."

Le Zheng Hongjun knelt down and held up the notice.

"Le Zheng Hongjun is definitely not a coward. A Taoist's duty is to protect the weak. If he survives for the people of Jimen Pass, Hongjun will die with honor and have a clear conscience."

"The hard part is not dying, but being misunderstood. Do you understand?"

"It doesn't matter if others misunderstand me. Hongjun should ask himself if he has nothing to be ashamed of."

Le Zhengqin looked at his determination and agreed with tears in his eyes.

"Okay, let's do it, otherwise we will miss the time."

Le Zheng Hongjun stood up with a determined look, turned around and walked out with the notice in his hand without any hesitation.

After the notice was posted, Le Zhengqin's order was considered issued. After learning the content of the notice, the atmosphere inside Jimen Pass suddenly became tense.

Citizens gathered at the city gate, pointing at the notice and talking about it, not knowing what was going on. A group of people even tried to rush into the courtyard to demand clarification, but the guards had no choice but to stop them.

The members of the Le Zheng family were all worried. They didn't understand why Le Zheng Qin made such a decision. They tried to find out clearly, but many of them were stopped by their masters. Others couldn't even get close to Le Zheng Qin's residence.

Le Zheng Qingfeng stood on the tower, looking at the crowd below, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that although Le Zheng Qin's decision was risky, it was also for the safety of the Le Zheng family and the people of Jimen Pass.

However, Le Zheng Qingfeng sometimes thought: "Does it have to be this way?" He thought that the people of Jimen Pass were reasonable and believed in Le Zheng, and they would listen if he talked to them nicely.

When he thought of this, Le Zheng Qingfeng could understand why he did this, which was that the people would most likely stay and would not be willing to escape alone.

Le Zheng Qingfeng smelled a faint fragrance and followed the smell to the other side, where a woman was standing facing the city wall.

Le Zheng Qingfeng quickly recognized that it was none other than Mu Xin.

"Are you satisfied? This is all thanks to you. Listen to those angry and resentful voices. First there was the elders' incident, and then there was this scandal. You have really ruined Le Zheng's reputation."

Le Zheng Qingfeng's tone was not good, but Mu Xin didn't care and smiled instead.

"I went to bed early last night, Master Qingfeng, please don't wrongly accuse me. As for the four elders, they have brought this upon themselves. If they help Le Zheng to remove the cancer, it will also destroy Le Zheng's reputation. Le Zheng will then have no reputation to speak of, right?"

"You are quite eloquent. No wonder you have to change your mind after entering Fangyuan."

"Master Qingfeng is joking."

The two were silent for a moment, and it was Le Zheng Qingfeng who spoke first.

"Is there really a spy inside Le Zheng?"

"It's hard to predict people's minds. Once the spies gain power within the Lezheng, you can imagine what kind of crisis the Lezheng will face."

In fact, Le Zhengqingfeng had already noticed the spy's activities, but he hadn't caught the other party's tail yet. And what he wanted to ask was not this. He had been preparing for a long time and thought that this was an excellent opportunity that would pass in a flash, so he made up his mind to ask.

"Is Senior Brother He really alive?"

Mu Xin shook her head. "It's hard to say. Only Miss Shui Ling knows what she saw. It's very likely not good, based on what I saw."

When Le Zheng Qingfeng heard Mu Xin's answer, his heart sank. He knew very well how important Senior Brother He was in the hearts of some members of the family. If he really had an accident, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Le Zheng family.

Le Zheng Qingfeng couldn't help but pray that he would come back. He would rather believe that he was missing than believe that he was gone. At least there was still hope.

"What do you think is the chance of surviving the catastrophe that is Le Zheng facing this time?"

"If I say that 80 percent of the time, I will be the one in trouble, and you guys, Le Zheng, should be grateful to me."

"Why do you do this? Just for Le Zheng Yuhua? Is it worth it?"

"A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. Thank your ancestors sincerely."

Mu Xin turned and left the city wall.
