Under someone's hostile glare, Empress laughed and went out.
Sun Lang was left alone to face Strong Wind.
He was still struggling as he shouted, "Yin Luo, let go of me. Yin Luo, let me teach this bad woman a lesson. She harbors ill intentions and is sinister and vicious. Have a taste of my world-shaking ultimate technique, Silver Stream!"
"Before that …"
Yinluo smiled and grabbed Sun Lang's shoulder. She said faintly, "Do you have anything else to say to us?
Of course, it's fine if you don't say it, but … you know it, right? "
After all, there were some things that might not be lenient if he confessed. But if he chose to hide it and it was exposed later, the consequences would definitely be many times more serious than if he confessed at the beginning.
This was the truth that Sun Lang's mother and teacher taught him with countless rattan sticks.
Sun Lang's body stiffened, and then he slowly sat back in silence.
"Okay …" he said, "I'll tell you sooner or later. You'll know it sooner or later."
The girls moved. Each of them moved a chair and sat around Sun Lang. They looked like they were sitting in a row and listening to the story … They were much more harmonious than when Empress was here.
Sun Lang looked at them, a trace of melancholy and sadness appearing in his eyes. Sometimes, remembering the past was not a simple and easy thing, especially those painful past events … This meant that you had to tear open the wound that had already formed a scab and show the pain in your heart to others.
He said slowly, "I used to have a Sword Saint friend whose surname was Cao …"
Zhao Yunlong's expression changed slightly. Ping Yang bit her lips.
Lu Shu-jen frowned, "You don't have to say this if you don't want to."
Sun Lang said softly, "It's okay."
He talked about the past when he met Brother Zhan.
The flames of the War of Heaven's Origin had spread across the entire Divine Land. Countless people with lofty ideals had joined the six armies and fought for the country. Many of them were idealists. They only wanted to expel the Sky Devils, and had no intention of being promoted or getting rich. In peaceful times, these people would never appear on the battlefield. Only the battle of justice could bring them together under the same banner.
In other words, most of the people on the Tianyuan Hero List were freaks with personality problems.
The top figures in the army must be the top freaks.
Commander Of War, Jia Ying, and Sword Saint of Water were the top freaks among the top freaks.
They were not only weird, but also evil in their own ways.. However, in terms of status and reputation, Commander Of War was better.
Sun Lang was good at fighting. Not only could he cut down the Sky Demon like chopping vegetables, but he was also very efficient in arranging and attacking the Sky Demon. He was ruthless and merciless.
That was actually enough. As a warrior of Tianyuan, as long as you were brutal, good at fighting, and loyal enough, you would be the best of the best. The other problems, such as being full of dirty words, telling dirty stories every day, loving fighting, and hanging people on flagpoles, were all bonus points.
But Brother Zhan was different.
He was actually a pacifist.
The kind that was scared of blood.
In the great war of Tianyuan, which was full of iron and blood, a pacifist was undoubtedly the dregs among the dregs. He would be despised and spurned by everyone. What a joke. The crime of shaking the morale of the army was not a joke. If you openly declared that you did not want war and wanted peace, you would be chopped down by the general.
Brother Zhan obviously knew that. He tried very hard to hide it, but he could not avoid his responsibility. He was the Sword Saint of Water, one of the seven most powerful Sword Masters of the empire. He represented the supreme force of the six armies of Tianyuan. The sense of responsibility made him feel miserable. Besides, he was also shouldering the expectations and expectations of his entire family. He did not dare to speak out his true thoughts. Otherwise, he would not only become a laughing stock, but his entire family would also be implicated and suffer a great humiliation and blow.
Fortunately, he was the Sword Saint of Water, the supreme force of the empire. He was a noble strategic weapon. Of course, he did not need to go to the battlefield to kill small fries. The battlefield was about king versus king, soldier versus soldier. His main task was to hold the line and guard against the enemy's high-level forces.
This job was relatively easy, because he only needed to intercept a large number of high-level Sky Demon forces, divide the battlefield, and stall these ferocious Sky Demons. The other warriors of Tianyuan could then concentrate their superior forces to kill the rest of the Sky Demons. Then, they would turn around and kill the ones that were under their control.
This tactic was very effective, and it was also praised by the heroes of the Heaven Yuan Empire. This was because the Water Radiant Sword Saint had shown great value that matched her reputation and strength. She had single-handedly intercepted a large number of valiant Sky Demons. Furthermore, she was not greedy and did not act rashly. Instead, she was willing to be a screw in the collective and let others take all the credit. Her noble spirit was praised by everyone.
Who didn't want such a teammate?
Furthermore, the Sword Saint of Water symbolized softness, flow, and nourishment. Not only was he good at defense and control, he was also very good at healing. When Brother Zhan went to the battlefield, other than restraining the enemy's high-level forces, he was also very active in healing his seriously wounded comrades. Countless soldiers were saved by him, and after those soldiers were healed, they naturally became the Sword Saint of Water, making Brother Zhan even more famous.
With these two halos, Brother Zhan was doing very well all the way. He did not weaken the reputation of the Sword Saint of Water at all, nor did he make anyone suspect him. Nobody would have thought that the heroic Sword Saint of Water was actually a psychopath with an abnormal brain. What a f * cking pacifist.
Brother Zhan kept his little secret just like that. He wandered in the sea of blood of the Great War of Tianyuan involuntarily. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was confused.
Until he met Sun Lang.
With his beast-like intuition and instinct, Sun Lang sensed that there was something wrong with this pretty boy.
To be honest, this was actually a blind spot in his thinking. The soldiers who grew up in the bloody atmosphere of the Great War of Tianyuan would never think that there was such a thing as a pacifist in the world. However, Sun Lang was a time traveler who had experienced hundreds of battles. His thinking was not restricted, and he uncovered Brother Zhan's little secret step by step.
Brother Zhan, who had received an elite aristocratic education since he was young and was as pure as a piece of white paper, was no match for Sun Lang, who had all kinds of poisons. As soon as they clashed, he was utterly defeated. After all, it was very easy to verify this matter. All he needed to do was tie up a team of Sky Demon scouts, throw them in front of Brother Zhan, and say that he wanted to kill them to broaden his horizons. Then, he would be able to read all the answers from Brother Zhan's eyes, expression, and movements.
Houtu's Peerless Guardian, Tianyuan's supreme force, and the powerful Sword Saint of Water.
So far, he had not killed a single Sky Demon.
This was simply the most absurd black humor in the world. It was a big joke that even the Sky Demon could not believe.
As a result, Brother Zhan immediately collapsed. His psychological defense was immediately broken.
Sun Lang took advantage of the situation to grab hold of the Sword Saint of Water's weakness. He grasped Brother Zhan's big secret and had a huge bargaining chip. Hehehe, if this secret is leaked out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but your family will also be implicated. They will be spurned and criticized by everyone. Hehehehe, do you understand now?
If you understand, then obediently listen to me …
That was about it.
After this incident, the relationship between the two changed qualitatively. It changed from a simple and polite nodding acquaintance to a relationship of bad friends. Of course, it was Sun Lang who was playing tricks on Brother Zhan. He held onto Brother Zhan's secret and forced Brother Zhan to do some strange things to satisfy his bad taste.
Brother Zhan secretly shed tears, feeling sad about his bitter life. At the same time, he was forced by Sun Lang's abuse of power and could only obediently listen to his orders. Later, this became a reason for him to convince himself.
Yes, it was Jia Ying, that evil person, who forced me to do it. I had no choice.
While lamenting about his difficult life, he used "Jia Ying's coercion" as an excuse to gradually let himself go. Occasionally, he would do some things that the young masters of aristocratic families could not do.
As for whether Jia Ying was an evil person or a good friend to him, perhaps he only understood this point in the end.
But there was one thing that he would never know.
That was, the reason why Sun Lang discovered his secret, the reason why he did not want to fight, the reason why he did not want to kill the Sky Demon, and the reason why he looked at him differently, was because Sun Lang was the same.
Sun Lang was also unwilling to fight, and Sun Lang was also unwilling to kill the Sky Demon.
Sun Lang was also like him, forced to do things that he did not want to do.
