Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

But in the end, Song Chenye sheathed his sword again and did not kill Gong Lin directly.

After defeating Gong Lin, he chose to leave the manor with Liu Zhilin.

At the time, viewers thought the matter had ended there.

Gong Lin was just a pitiful soul who loved but could not have. There was no evidence she participated in the events of that year. Plus, she was somewhat related to Liu Zhilin. It seemed reasonable for Song Chenye to spare Gong Lin for Liu Zhilinʼs sake.

But then, wow, later, after Song Chenye investigated and found concrete evidence of Gong Linʼs involvement back then, he turned right around and killed his way back to Thousand Leaves Manor.

This Gong Lin was one of the murderers of his mother!

She even went so far as to mistreat his motherʼs corpse in the end, preventing his mother from resting in peace even in death!

By the time Liu Zhilin arrived at the scene, it was all over.

-

The pavilion in the middle of the lake where Gong Lin often stayed was now a river of blood.

Song Chenye stood in the center of the pavilion, looking down from a lofty height at the corpse before him.

Actually, Gong Linʼs death was peaceful.

A single sword strike sealed her throat, without any extra suffering.

He did not dismember the corpse or grind her bones to dust as Gong Lin had done to his mother. He merely stood as an avenger, looking down from above upon his enemy, silent, allowing the breeze in the pavilion to gently brush his cheeks.

It was as if the soul that could not rest in peace was lingeringly soothing his inner turmoil.

After staring fixedly at the corpse for a long time, Song Chenye slowly sheathed his Carefree Cloud Sword and turned around.

—Liu Zhilin stood right in the middle of the bridge, looking at him with a complicated gaze.

”You—”

When Liu Zhilin spoke, he found his voice exceptionally hoarse.

And all the words of accusation he wanted to utter were stuck in his throat, choking him, making it impossible to speak.

What could he ask now?

What position did he have to ask from?

Ask Song Chenye why he didnʼt tell him before taking revenge? Or ask Song Chenye why he absolutely had to kill Gong Lin?

How could he even ask?

The most helpless part of this matter was that Liu Zhilin had participated in the investigation from start to finish. He clearly knew what Song Chenye carried on his shoulders and what Gong Lin had done.

When solid, undeniable evidence was laid out, the relationship between Song Chenye and Gong Lin had already become one of life and death.

What else could he do?

Persuade Song Chenye to spare Gong Lin for his sake?

Or persuade Gong Lin to kowtow and apologize to Song Chenye and his parents?

No, that was simply impossible.

Song Chenye could not let Gong Lin go, just as Gong Lin would never apologize to Song Chenyeʼs mother.

From the very beginning, this was destined to be a deadlock.

So what did it matter whether Song Chenye told him or not?

He could do nothing. At most, he could choose silence, not favoring either side.

But looking at the Song Chenye before him, not stained with a single drop of blood, and then at the familiar corpse lying in a pool of blood, eyes wide open in death, a tremendous sense of panic inexplicably surged within Liu Zhilin.

In that moment, he didnʼt even know what he was afraid of.

Was it the friend before him who was becoming increasingly unfamiliar? Or the relative in his memory who was gradually twisting? Or perhaps his own helpless self?

So Liu Zhilin just stood there dumbfounded, gazing silently at the young hero before him who, for the sake of revenge, dared to single-handedly storm Thousand Leaves Manor and spare no cost to kill his enemy. A thousand words condensed into nothing but a sigh.

”Go,” he said.
