Chapter 41.2
He didn’t doubt their words. Because when they had been speaking about exterminating He family, their tone was completely indifferent. However, this indifferent tone made He Yiming feel a chill throughout entire body.
He’d not felt as such even when confronting a spirit beast or Ting Liferay.
Slowly, He Yiming’s expression changed, and his two clear eyes brimmed with ruthlessness.
He sucked in a deep breath. This time, he didn’t conceal at all and made a clear sound in the quietness of the night.
In the woods, the faces of the three simultaneously changed. Although they were not Xiantian cultivators, such a clear sound of breath intake at such a distance couldn’t go past their ears unnoticed.
As if a gust of wind, the three emerged before He Yiming, and moreover emerged from three different directions, partially surrounding him.
However, as their vision fell on He Yiming’s face, their expressions immediately turned quite comical.
They had thought that someone being able to get so close to them without being noticed must be a figure of the same level as He Quanxin.
Zhuang Yuan’s brows slightly creased as he asked in a heavy voice, “Youngster, who are you?”
Xiao Yifan’s expression flickered, “Elder senior brother, this person is He Quanxin’s nephew, saw him briefly during the meeting with Yuan family yesterday. Apparently, his cultivation is quite good.”
Killing intent flickered in Zhuang Yuan’s eyes as he said, “He family’s child, huh. Indeed, this youngster can slip past our eyes and ears; he is quite good.” He softly shook his head and spoke as if talking to himself, “Unfortunate, truly unfortunate.”
He Yiming’s gaze swept past them and ultimately fell on Xiao Yifan. He spoke in a lowered voice, “I’ve trouble understanding something. Senior Xiao, pease offer some advice.”
Previously Xiao Yifan didn’t wish to pay attention. However, for some reason, whenever he met eyes with He Yiming, he’d an ominous feeling.
“Speak.”
Zhuang Yuan and Xiao Yilin’s faces flickered with astonishment. However, they immediately realized afterwards. This had to be Xiao Yifan having some fun with the prey since this kid was already doomed.
He Yiming lowered his gaze and calmly asked, “Our He family has no enmity with you people. Why would you wish to exterminate us?”
Xiao Yifan coa.r.s.ely laughed and said, “Who said we can’t exterminate your family if we don’t have enmity?” His voice exuded an impression as if he couldn’t care less, “Not to mention you people have already meddled in Yuan family’s affairs, even if you hadn’t acted, we could still have exterminated you people since you are such an eyesore.”
He Yiming’s lips slightly trembled as his heart turned increasingly turned into ice.
Before today, he’d always believed that the coldest thing in this world was the winter’s cold. However, at this moment, he’d understood that there was a much more colder thing in this world.
Human heart; the unfathomable human heart.
When a human heart turns cold and detached, it is colder than the harsh winter’s cold by ten times…. hundred times.
Inexplicably, his insides seemed to have been p.r.i.c.ked by something, causing him to feel pain.
He lifted his head; his tone somewhat strange, “Such a disregard for human life, could it be you people don’t fear the punishment of law at all?”
“Law?” Xiao Yifan’s face turned odd, as if he’d heard the world’s most funniest joke, “What is law? Law is something used to oppr
ess the commoners. How could it be applied on our bodies?”
His laughter didn’t have a trace of over exaggeration or doubt, seeming as confident and composed as if he was stating a fact like sun rises from the east and sets in the west.
Eventually, He Yiming slowly nodded and said, “I understand. As long as I’m stronger than you and also strong to an extent that I can ignore the existence of laws, I can take your life if my heart desires so. Tell me, am I right?”
Xiao Xifan chuckled and said, “Kid, you’ve finally understood. But unfortunately, it’s already too late.”
Zhuang Yuan eventually turned somewhat impatient, “Second junior brother, haven’t you played enough? Hurry up, we still have to go back and welcome master.”
