Chapter 562: 287: Compromise! Cunning!_2

Ashi Liren took the silk cloth and wiped away her tears.

"The root of sin in this matter lies in the Demon Continent, in the Dragon Temple." Suo Lun said, "Ashi Luo is guilty, and he deserved to die. He is pitiable and respectable, and you should love him, but you needn’t feel guilty, nor have you done anything wrong."

Ashi Liren said coldly, "Are you saying that you are not wrong either?"

"Of course, I am not wrong." Suo Lun said emphatically, "Removing Ashi Luo was the right thing to do from the beginning to the end. Was I supposed to just watch him violate you?"

Ashi Liren said, "Then you knew Zuo Qiu was Yan Ping, but you did not tell me, and that was not wrong?"

"Of course it wasn’t." Suo Lun said, "Why should I tell you? Once I did, it would affect the plan to eliminate Ashi Luo, not to mention it would have turned your world upside down."

Ashi Liren sneered, "You do have the gift of the gab, I can’t argue with you."

Suo Lun said, "Winning an argument against you is useless, love and hatred, the feelings of a person are entirely idealistic. You still feel indebted to Ashi Luo, you will still place the blame for his death on my shoulders, regardless of how much I assert Ashi Luo’s guilt."

Indeed, any emotional woman is idealistic, is sentimental.

Only a woman like Zhen Yan Princess can have absolute clarity of right and wrong and logic.

Even if Suo Lun explained the reasoning very clearly and correctly, Ashi Liren would still hate him, would still feel enormous guilt for Ashi Luo’s death.

Therefore, Suo Lun had still not persuaded Ashi Liren.

With a sigh, Suo Lun said, "Liren, I now have great respect for Ashi Luo, do you know why?"

Liren did not pay him any attention, yet her ears perked up.

Suo Lun said, "At that time, the Dragon Temple threatened Ashi Luo with your life and Yuanba’s, forcing him to betray the World-Ending Demon Emperor."

By this time, Suo Lun’s perception should have been completely blocked, he should not have known this. However, with Ashi Liren’s mind filled with countless thoughts, she could hardly care about this detail.

Suo Lun said, "You and Yuanba were the closest people to Ashi Luo, his entire world. The World-Ending Demon Emperor was merely his intangible faith, but in the end, he chose to remain loyal to the World-Ending Demon Emperor and proved his loyalty with death. That is nothing, it is the motive of his actions that mattered. The Dragon Temple coerced him to betray the Emperor by threatening your lives, which made him see clearly the filthy essence at the root of this world, confirming his faith. At that moment, his loyalty to the World-Ending Demon Emperor was no longer based on hatred for this world but a determination to completely cleanse this filthy world, a conviction to wholly change the world."

Ashi Liren turned her head.

Suo Lun said, "This is an elevation of faith; he was even willing to sacrifice you and Yuanba to change this world, that is true belief. I can’t do that at all, at that moment, I absolutely couldn’t match his purity, it is exactly because I can’t do it, that I admire him."

Liren stopped crying, calming down.

Suo Lun said, "Once a person acquires true faith, it is both a liberation and an eternal life. You don’t need to feel guilty about him, you only need to ask yourself, do you agree with his thoughts?"

Liren said, "Everyone in the Dragon Temple deserves to die, the entire Demon Continent deserves to die."

"That’s good," Suo Lun said. "Continuing his faith and will is enough, there’s no need to feel any guilt or reluctance about his death. Death, for him, was the best outcome. Moreover, he died gloriously, without any weakness or humiliation."

Ashi Liren let out a long breath.

Suddenly, Suo Lun’s nostrils were filled with a captivating fragrance.

In this world, there truly are breaths as fragrant as orchids!

"Suo Lun, you really do have the gift of the gab," Ashi Liren opened her eyes and said, "You have completely convinced me, enabling me to let go of the guilt over Luo’s death, giving me a kind of liberation."

"That’s good," Suo Lun said.

"But..." Ashi Liren said, "You haven’t changed the disgusting image I have of you in my heart, I still find you untrustworthy."

Suo Lun laughed, "Take it slow, no rush. I’m not asking you to agree to stand with us right away or support Zhen Yan Princess’s claim to the throne. My only request right now is for you to accept my help for you."

"Fine, I’m willing to let you help me," Ashi Liren said. "But don’t expect any return from me, I am a cold-hearted person."

"Heh heh..." Suo Lun gave a classic reply.

At that "heh heh," Ashi Liren felt the impulse to swing her palm, itching to give another slap.

"Teacher..." At this moment, a timid voice came from outside, as if in disbelief.

Turning around, Suo Lun extended his arms.

Ashi Yuanba charged in and threw himself into Suo Lun’s arms, saying, "I knew it, my teacher wouldn’t abandon us. Just now I even dreamed of you, dreamed that I called you dad."

When the child said this, he deliberately acted innocently.

Ashi Liren, at his side, blushed at the ears upon hearing this.

Then, pretending to be innocent, Ashi Yuanba widened his eyes and looked up at Suo Lun, "Will you be my dad, teacher?"

Suo Lun said, "You’re in such a hurry to marry Qin Qin, aren’t you?"

"No, no..." Ashi Yuanba vehemently shook his head and said, "Not that dad, I mean because of mom’s dad..."

At this moment, Liren could no longer bear it and said coldly, "Go to sleep."
