Sincere Heart in Jianghu

There are already about a hundred people waiting for you to come back, they are only waiting for you to come back so they can ask eldest senior brother to give them a public opinion. This time, the people who have come are completely different from the people who have just started their journey; they are all well-known people in the martial arts world.

He let out a light breath. "There will be a way to resolve this matter. No matter what, I will not do anything that would go against the teachings of my Master or Senior Brothers. Please believe that I will see those people soon!"

In his heart, he also wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible. He already had an idea of his own, and to him, leaving might be a type of relief, a type of true relaxation.

When they reached the hall, there were already people there waiting for him. When Zhang Fangyuan saw him enter, his face darkened and the two of them looked at each other.

"Sixth Junior Brother, sit down first. I have something I want to say to everyone!"

"All heroes, listen carefully. You must investigate the relationship between my sixth junior brother and the imperial government when you head up the mountain. Now that he has returned, ask him in front of all the heroes of the world."

After he finished speaking, he cast a profound glance at Yang Ming.

"Everyone, I, Yang Ming, have been living in Qingcheng since I was young, and have benefited from the teachings of my master and senior brothers. In these past ten years, in the martial arts world, I have never done anything to let my sect down, and have never done anything to harm my fellow daoists.

Someone nodded at him, "Brother Yang, everything you said is reasonable, but the truth is right in front of everyone. If you are really colluding with the imperial government, then anyone in the martial arts world will feel threatened. I believe you can understand this feeling, if you can tell us the truth, then we will understand, Brother Yang, if you have any difficulties, just say it in front of all the heroes of the world!"

Hearing that person say that, he could not help but look at him gratefully, "Thank you, friend, but I have nothing else to say. What you have heard, should be the truth, for Yang Ming to dare take responsibility, and not lie to everyone!"

There was a stir in the crowd, and many people started whispering, "Could it be that this Yang Ming from Qingcheng is really colluding with the officials? "Amongst the martial arts world, which one hasn't had a few lives? Which one hasn't done something that the imperial government hates? If he were to say it out loud, wouldn't our lives be in danger?"

"If everything is true, we might as well ask the Sect Leader Zhang to clean up the matter personally, and let us all rest in peace. Does anyone have any objections?"

These people chatted amongst themselves, and from time to time, some of them would nod their heads.

"What are you talking about? "Brother Yang can't be that kind of person. Everyone knows what he has done. I believe that no one here has a more chivalrous heart than him!"

The voice sounded a little familiar, Yang Ming couldn't help but to look over and realised that the person was Chen Kexin.

"Brother Xin, I didn't expect you to come too. How have you been?"

She smiled at him, "Big brother Yang, my purpose for coming up the mountain is different from theirs, I naturally believe in your character, so I came to testify for you. Big brother Yang, if you have anything to say, just say it, otherwise, it would be a bigger misunderstanding!"

"Thank you for your good intentions, brother. I've already accepted your kindness. Today's matter cannot be explained with just a few sentences. Calm down and don't be impatient, I will naturally give everyone an answer!"

He paused for a moment, looked at Zhang Fangyuan, and sighed as he slowly walked to the center of the stage.

He bowed towards Zhang Fangyuan before kneeling down, "Eldest senior brother, I have indeed made a mistake. Although I did not hurt anyone, I have disappointed you. I should not have interacted with the people in the imperial court.

"I admired him for a while, so I befriended him and made the mistakes that happened later. Now, I will make you lose face, and my heart will be in pain as well. Eldest senior brother, please punish me."

"Punishment?" Could it be that just punishing him was enough? How can we believe it? Although He Chongzhi is dead, but there are still many people in the court who know about what you have done. You have helped them out greatly, and will definitely be in contact with you in the future, and as long as you say something, they will immediately appear and serve you. If you go too far, you will inevitably leak word of what happened in the underworld, and at that time, you will cause the lives of others to be harmed! "

The more they talked, the more they went overboard, some even wanted to ask Zhao Zhouwu to immediately kill him, some even suggested that he cut off his tongue, so as to not speak carelessly in the future and cause the people in the imperial court to kill him, and some people even hoped to cripple his martial arts.

For these heroes and heroes to say such words today, it caused Yang Ming's heart to involuntarily feel cold. It seemed that the many things he had done for them, had all been in vain.

However, no matter how they treated him, he could not blame them. He still had to protect them. How many people could truly understand his feelings?

He laughed, "Eldest senior brother, today you have to give the people of the world an answer, I, Yang Ming am a nobody, and the reputation of Qingcheng is great, no matter what decision you make, I will not dare to go against it, please make it big senior brother!"

The place turned quiet, all of their gazes turned to Zhang Fangyuan, only to see him gently stroking his beard, slowly closing his eyes, as though he was thinking about something.

No one dared to disturb him. They were all quietly waiting for his decision.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the crowd. "If you have any objections, feel free to say them out loud. This old man has his own plans!"

"Alright, since Sect Leader Zhang has already opened his mouth, I will be frank, Yang Ming has been a talent for dozens of years, that's why he's so worried, he knows too much about us in the martial arts world, if he really wants to stay in the imperial government, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, in order to eliminate any future problems, we might as well cripple his martial arts, and imprison him in the Green City Mountain, not getting out of the martial arts world!"

The person who spoke looked to be in his forties. His face was extremely long, making him look extremely uncomfortable.

"How can you say that? Cripple Brother Yang's martial arts and imprison him? You can say such words. It would be hard for him to cultivate this kind of martial arts. Furthermore, he has yet to do anything that would let everyone down! "

When everyone heard the words of the person behind them, they also felt that it made some sense. They could not help but nod their heads, and some people started to scold the man from before.

"You are speaking too viciously, we were only worried that the Master Yang would accidentally fall into the wrong path, so we came here, and it was as if you said that the Master Yang had done something shameful!"
