My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 69: I Haven ‘t Thought about That Question

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

“Jiang Xiaoyu?”

Feng Chengyou paused for a moment, as he had no recollection of this name.

However, Chu Sen, who was behind him, realized something.

Su Yang had already spoken, and this matter couldn’t be concealed any longer.

He could only step forward reluctantly and say, “Reporting to Lord Su, Jiang

Xiaoyu is one of my disciples.”

The entire people of Linjiang City bred venomous snakes, and he was responsible for coordinating and managing the collection of snakes. So, some information would naturally reach his ears.

Su Yang had asked this question, and Feng Chengyou already had a good idea of what was happening. “Alright, take me to find him.”

“Yes, Lord Su.”

Chu Sen bent his body and quickly agreed.

Fortunately, he remembered where Jiang Xiaoyu lived.

With Chu Sen leading the way, they walked toward Jiang Xiaoyu’s residence.

However, Chu Sen felt extremely anxious along the way. Su Yang said he wanted an explanation from the mastermind behind the snake-keeping incident. But he was the one who had done it. How could he explain to Su Yang?

After a short distance, they arrived at a courtyard.

This courtyard usually housed six disciples, not just Jiang Xiaoyu alone.

At this moment, they could see a person in the courtyard washing clothes.

However, the clothes in front of him were quite numerous.

Upon closer inspection, this person was young, no more than sixteen, with a slender figure. Some visible bruises and injuries covered his skin.

Even before confirming with Chu Sen, Su Yang could already determine the person’s identity.

Su Yang waved his hand, indicating for everyone to wait there, and he entered the courtyard alone.

“Are you Jiang Xiaoyu?”

The slender young man, who was washing clothes, looked up in confusion when he saw a well-dressed young man of noble bearing appear before him.

At a glance, the other person seemed ordinary.

But upon closer inspection, it was like an ocean.

“Yes, Your Honor, I am indeed Jiang Xiaoyu.” He stood up. He didn’t recognize Su Yang, but he recognized the official attire.

“Are these clothes yours?” Su Yang looked at the pile of Snake Gate attire.

“No, Your Honor,” Jiang Xiaoyu calmly replied. “Most of them belong to my senior brothers.”

While Jiang Xiaoyu spoke, Su Yang could clearly sense a hint of anger through his sword intent, but he suppressed it.

Looking at Jiang Xiaoyu’s injuries and the way he was being oppressed within the sect, Su Yang felt a trace of sadness.

This was the outcome of being kind without strength.

This was the way of the world. Good people rarely received good outcomes. Who would be willing to be a good person?

Even if Jiang Xiaoyu was one now, would he continue to be one if he continued to be oppressed?

To be a good person meant being in opposition to evil.

But evil itself was a manifestation of great strength. It was stronger than many others, which was why it could do evil.

Good people without strength, how could they contend with evil?

With their passionate blood?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Since arriving in this world, Su Yang had seen kindness. But it was always when it didn’t involve themselves that people displayed their kindness.

For example, in Pingshan City, after he had protected them, the martial guards of Spring Wind Hall showed kindness.

They had kindness, but it was only when it didn’t involve them personally.

That was normal. It was already good enough to achieve this.

However. Tiang Xiaovu was the first person Su Yang had encountered who. despite his insufficient strength, was still willing to stand against evil.

Regardless of how long he could persist, regardless of whether he would continue to persist in the future, at least he was doing it now.

Therefore… Su Yang’s words about good people receiving good rewards were not just empty words!

“I heard that the reason you’re in your current situation is because you refused to harm the people of Linjiang City and even allowed yourself to be beaten rather than watch ordinary people suffer.”

“And the result is that you’re covered in wounds and being ostracized by your fellow disciples.”

“Do you think it was worth it?”

“Worth it?” Jiang Xiaoyu was taken aback. Although the person in front of him was saying strange things, he still earnestly considered it and replied, “I haven’t thought about that question.”

“I just couldn’t bear to see them being beaten, so I did what I did.”

Weighing pros and cons was human nature, but there were always some people who stayed true to their hearts and weren’t influenced by the benefits and drawbacks.

It wasn’t a matter of whether it was worth it or not. If they wanted to do it, they would just do it.

Su Yang looked at Jiang Xiaoyu’s clear, bright eyes and couldn’t help but smile.

“Hahaha…”

“You are truly foolish.”

“But… I like it.”

“Do you want to become stronger?” Su Yang looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, his face filled with an unstoppable smile.

“Yes, I strive every day, but it seems my aptitude is not great. After three years, I have only reached the ninth grade, while my senior brothers have already reached the eighth grade,” Jiang Xiaoyu scratched his head. The person in front of him seemed extraordinary, and his words were quite strange.

He actually said he liked him… although it should be his personality that he liked, it still felt strange.

“Aptitude?” Su Yang chuckled. Aptitude was indeed important, but sometimes it wasn’t everything.

“In that case, why don’t you follow me from now on?”

“But… what about the people in my jurisdiction? And I’m a disciple of Snake

Gate. Would this be considered betraying the sect?”

“I can’t leave.”

Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head. If he left, wouldn’t those people be subject to beatings?

Upon hearing this, Su Yang felt both amused and exasperated.

Perhaps everyone would wonder, how could there be someone like this?

In fact, there were quite a few such people, weren’t there?

Weren’t these the people who could tear apart the darkness?

Goodness coexisted with responsibility.

Goodness made Jiang Xiaoyu choose to help others.

Responsibility made Jiang Xiaoyu choose to stand firmly on the side of justice.

A sense of responsibility was a special thing.

For example, if you fed stray cats every day and suddenly couldn’t make it one day, you would worry if the cats would go hungry.

Or if you promised to help someone with something but couldn’t accomplish it, you would feel self-reproach.

Or if you wanted to take care of these people but failed to do so.

A responsible person, when they decide to do something, will bear the responsibility for it. If something goes wrong, they will blame themselves, even if it had little to do with them.

“Regarding the people, you don’t need to worry. There won’t be any more oppression of the people in the future.” “As for your identity…”

Su Yang waved his hand towards the back.

Feng Chengyou, Chu Sen, Gu Xiu, and Qin Lei came over one after another.

“Disciples greet the Sect Master and Elders.” Seeing the newcomers, Jiang Xiaoyu quickly saluted.

“Feng Master, this disciple of yours is quite outstanding. Would you be willing to let him go?” Su Yang spoke in the calmest tone, but his words were beyond doubt.

“Such a talented individual is being wasted in my sect. It’s better for him to follow Your Honor and not be overshadowed. It’s only right for him to follow Your Honor, ” Feng Chengyou immediately agreed without any hesitation.

As an outer sect disciple, there was no need to consider it.

Jiang Xiaoyu widened his eyes. When did their sect master become so agreeable?

He immediately understood that the young man in front of him must either have a powerful background or his strength surpassed their sect master’s.

In his view, if Su Yang’s strength had already surpassed their sect master’s at such a young age, he must have a formidable background.

So, when combined, Su Yang’s background must be extraordinary.

Therefore, everything Su Yang had said just now should be unquestionable.

Zhang Shen, Brother Li, Uncle Zhang…

They would no longer be oppressed, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoyu couldn’t help but smile.

“Jiang Xiaoyu, do you see? Strength is the foundation of upholding justice.” Su Yang spoke with a hint of deeper meaning.

“I understand, Your Honor,” Jiang Xiaoyu, though young, was not foolish.

He knew that Su Yang was referring to him. If he had sufficient strength, doing good deeds would be easier, and he wouldn’t be beaten.

But… should one not do anything if they lacked strength?

Jiang Xiaoyu curled his lips. No, he would still do it. He just couldn’t stand people who used their strength to bully others.

He practiced martial arts to protect the weak!
