CHAPTER 1436 DYING ISN'T ENOUGH

Brother Gou saw how grim Jiang Ning looked and didn't dare to say more.

Brother Gou had no idea who His Lordship really was, but he knew the man lying inside was definitely very closely tied to Jiang Ning because he could tell that Jiang Ning was in a rather poor mood.

"Thanks for the hard work.”

Jiang Ning nodded, patted Brother Gou on the shoulder, then walked into the room.

He closed the door behind him.

"Brother Gou, this man actually turns out to be someone Big Boss knows..."

"Nobody would feel good in such a situation. The person who did so much evil turned out to be someone close to him."

Brother Gou frowned and scoffed. "I don't care about all this. No matter what Big Boss decides to do, I'll listen to what he says!"

He turned and everyone nodded too.

Inside the room.

Jiang Ning walked over and looked at the man lying on the bed. That face was very unfamiliar to him.

"Are you still going to hide behind your mask even at this juncture? Master?"

His expression was a little conflicted and filled with disbelief. Or perhaps, he didn't want to believe it.

"Hurhur..." His Lordship opened his eyes at that voice, gently felt for something behind his earlobe, then peeled off a thin facefitting mask made from human skin off his face.

"Jiang Ning, it's been a long time."

When he was met with that familiar looking face, Jiang Ning felt his heart shudder violently. "Right now, are you He Daoren? Or His Lordship?"

"I'm He Daoren."

He Daoren looked at Jiang Ning with a

faint smile. That was the same expression he had when he first rescued Jiang Ning off the streets back then.

"Why?" Jiang Ning took a deep breath. "Was it fun lying to me?"

He couldn't stop replaying scenes in his mind where He Daoren had protected him, taught and guided him, showed concern for him like his own child and cared for him...

So why? Why did he lie to him?

He had gone after the leader of Hidden Sect all this time and he turned out to be his own teacher!

The whole thing about how his master had been severely injured and that someone had murdered his master was all made up! All of it was just lies!

"There are many times in life when one is helpless, and I also struggled a lot." He Daoren looked gently at Jiang Ning, as if he knew that he was going to die soon and had let everything go. "You don't have to be grateful that I saved you back then."

"Actually, I didn't mean to save you back then. I just..." He laughed self-deprecatingly. "I just wanted to use you to threaten Jiang Daoran into handing over the page of the manual that the Jiang family owned."

"I was going to get that page, then kill you. That was my original plan, but I couldn't bear to do it in the end.”

Jiang Ning didn't say anything. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

He couldn't believe that that was the truth of the past.

He shook his head. "I don't believe you."

"Why are you still trying to fool me?"

He Daoren eventually found out that Jiang Ning had a page on himself but he didn't kill Jiang Ning. Instead, he started to teach and guide Jiang Ning seriously in order to comprehend the page he had.

If He Daoren wanted to kill Jiang Ning, he could have done so at any time!

"My silly disciple. I'm not a good guy. I've killed so many people, you know?" He Daoren laughed bitterly and some blood dribbled out from his mouth. Tve killed people by the families and I've caused the death of so many innocent lives. All these things are sins stacked against me. There's nothing about me that's unbelievable anymore."

He let out a long sigh and didn't seem to be bothered about how severe his internal injuries were.

Even if he dropped dead the next moment, it didn't matter to him.

'Tve committed too many evil deeds and even my death wouldn't be enough to pay for all these sins that I've done, so I know I will have to die for it someday and that's fine with me. The only thing that I regret is how I still didn't manage to save her..."
