Chapter 1518 - 1516: You’re Not Righteous, Just Selfish!
Chapter 1518 - 1516: You’re Not Righteous, Just Selfish!
"Who?"
"Uh... I’m afraid I can’t tell you that. But I can assure you, it’s definitely not aimed at your Ice Cicada Sect. To be honest, I’m really not interested in your Ice Cicada Sect."
Lin Fan shrugged and said with a smile.
"I wonder if you’re satisfied, can I leave now?"
As he spoke, he turned and was about to walk out.
A significant amount of time had been delayed here, and he wasn’t sure if the Divine Phoenix was in danger.
He needed to hurry over immediately.
The women who just escaped might be discovered by the people of Blizzard Village, so Lan Zhengqing would definitely go to investigate the situation.
By then, he could take the Divine Phoenix away and escape from this Blizzard Village.
But unexpectedly, he was held up by Qiu Xi.
"Don’t go!"
Suddenly murderous intent surged behind Lin Fan!
Whoosh!
The Immortal Slaying Needle ripped through the Void, directly targeting Lin Fan’s neck, as if trying to cut it open!
Lin Fan frowned, tapped his left foot, and slightly twisted his body to the right.
The Immortal Slaying Needle grazed past his neck!
It missed!
But this was the calculated distance by Lin Fan, saving energy while avoiding Qiu Xi’s attack.
"What are you doing?" Lin Fan asked coldly.
"If you don’t tell me who you are, don’t even think about leaving!" Qiu Xi staggered two steps, stood firm, and shouted angrily.
"I’ve already said, I’m not here for your Ice Cicada Sect, so don’t block my way."
Lin Fan looked up, only to find that Qiu Xi had already rushed to the cellar door, blocking the way.
His brow furrowed, his presence as cold as ice.
A fierce and terrifying murderous aura erupted from his body, enveloping Qiu Xi.
The Void trembled harshly!
It seemed afraid due to Lin Fan’s aura.
Qiu Xi felt a chill in her heart, involuntarily trembling, a sense of fear spreading around her.
This guy... why is he so terrifying?!
"Move."
Lin Fan spoke in a low, hoarse voice, expressionless.
"I won’t move unless you tell me what you’re really here for. As the Commander of the Ice Cicada Sect, I absolutely cannot allow anyone to harm Blizzard Village!"
Qiu Xi stood her ground, eyes fierce, ready to sacrifice her life!
It seemed that once Lin Fan passed, Blizzard Village would cease to exist.
But Lin Fan had repeatedly emphasized that he wasn’t here for the Ice Cicada Sect, yet clearly, Qiu Xi didn’t believe him.
However.
Lin Fan could understand Qiu Xi’s actions.
After all, this was a relatively safe haven for the refugees. If Blizzard Village was destroyed, the refugees living here would once again be homeless, living a nomadic life.
So.
Qiu Xi would never allow Lin Fan to destroy this place, would never allow the peaceful life to be disrupted again.
"I understand, you don’t want the refugees to live a homeless life again. This is an important refuge for you. I understand all of this!" Lin Fan sighed, still reluctant to act. He felt a sense of guilt, thinking he had taken advantage of Qiu Xi, it was truly troubling him.
Qiu Xi was greatly shaken by these words.
No one had ever considered their refugees.
Never!
Even Lan Zhengqing just randomly assigned a village for all the refugees to live in. But it wasn’t out of pity for the homeless refugees, it was for managing the Ice Cicada Sect more conveniently and ensuring that no one discovered the existence of the Ice Cicada Sect.
Therefore, outside of the refugees within the Ice Cicada Sect, no refugees were allowed to enter Blizzard Village.
But.
This guy in front of her actually considered this issue for the refugees, whether sincerely or just in passing.
At the very least.
He mentioned it, and took it into consideration, which already made him better than anyone in the Five Elements Realm.
"You... you know it well, which is why I definitely won’t let you pass, won’t let you disturb our peaceful life. If you understand this, please leave immediately, or else I will be impolite to you."
"This doesn’t represent just me, but all the refugees of Blizzard Village."
Qiu Xi said expressionlessly, showing no mercy.
Lin Fan suddenly let out a cold laugh, eyes filled with contempt, giving Qiu Xi a glance.
"So, in your eyes, only the refugees of Blizzard Village matter?"
"..." Qiu Xi heard this and her expression turned extremely ugly.
"So, your so-called righteousness only covers the refugees of Blizzard Village? Hah! How ridiculous, constantly claiming to be for the refugees. I thought you were going to save all the refugees in the Five Elements Realm! Turns out, you only considered the refugees of Blizzard Village."
"Indeed, people are selfish. You refugees have had your good days, of course, you wouldn’t care about the lives of the outside refugees. No wonder you’re ignored by the people of the Five Elements Realm, there’s a reason!"
Lin Fan mocked, his face filled with sneer and utmost disdain.
"Nonsense!" Qiu Xi’s face turned red instantly, her body trembling violently.
Fuming, furious!
But.
These fury only burned fiercely in her heart, after a curse, she couldn’t utter another word.
Because.
Lin Fan was right... She did care more about the refugees of Blizzard Village and neglected those still wandering outside.
She selfishly wanted to protect this place, forgetting that many refugees outside were dying helpless.
Her righteousness, wasn’t righteousness.
It was just selfishness.
"Let me pass, and I will help you, help all the refugees of the Five Elements Realm. I’m not joking, I’m serious. I think, no one has ever said these words to you? No one wants to solve your problems, right?" Lin Fan said seriously. "You can choose not to believe me, or even attack me, but I’m not here to defeat you, nor to attack the Ice Cicada Sect, I just want to take someone away."
Lin Fan took a deep breath and said with a serious expression: "As long as you let me pass, I promise to make your righteousness truly righteous."
These words.
Echoed in Qiu Xi’s mind, resonating loudly!
Indeed.
She had never heard such grand words, someone actually trying to solve the refugees’ issues in the Five Elements Realm.
It’s simply too absurd!
If anyone else said it, she would have laughed without hesitation.
But.
For some reason.
The words of this guy in front of her, though seemingly laughable, naive, and idealistic, she couldn’t laugh at all.
Not only couldn’t she laugh, but she also felt a vague sense.
She felt this guy really had the ability to turn things around!
This inexplicable trust troubled Qiu Xi greatly.
On one hand, she didn’t want to betray Lan Zhengqing, after all, he gave them refugees a chance to live.
On the other hand, Lin Fan’s proposal was so enticing, allowing all refugees to live a stable life.
Isn’t this what all refugees pursue...
But relying on the refugees themselves, it’s absolutely impossible to achieve. Now that someone is willing to actively help them, what’s there to hesitate about?
At that moment, Qiu Xi almost nodded.
