Chapter 296: Unconcerned with Life and Death

Ling Tian stared directly at Ye BaiFei, sincerely speaking, ”Definitely not! It was an order given down by one of my underlings. If it was me, then I would have silenced you on the spot, without giving you any chance! Brother Ye, I would never have captured you alive.” A look of understanding appeared in his eyes, ”Because I know that to someone of your caliber, that is an insult! I'll never insult an opponent that I respect.” As he spoke that, he looked at Ling Chen, and her face reddened as she lowered her head in guilt.

Ye BaiFei let out a genuine laugh, ”Thanks!”

Ling Tian, however, remained silent for a while more, finally saying, ”There's no need for thanks! Because you are Ye BaiFei! Golden Leaves BaiFei!”

Ye BaiFei smiled in satisfaction, with a hint of pride, ”That's right. I'm Golden Leaves BaiFei! Just as you are Ling Tian, the Ling Tian who wishes to overcome the Heavens themselves!” He looked at Ling Tian with a few extra points of appreciation, and this was the first time he stared directly at him since Ling Tian walked in! ”I might not be as good as you, but there's one point, and that is the fact I will not concede defeat.”

Ling Tian slowly nodded, ”That's right, Brother Ye's demeanor really leaves one full of respect.”

Using a much calmer tone, Ye BaiFei confided, ”As such, your last sentence has no need for an answer.”

Ling Tian sighed loudly in reply, ”Yes! While I knew it was futile, I had to ask. If I didn't ask, it would be a huge regret in my life!”

Ye BaiFei turned around and spoke in a soft voice, ”Since that's the case, Brother Ye will not see young n.o.ble Ling off.”

Ling Tian laughed loudly as he replied, ”Then let me give you some final words of parting: If there's a next life, then let us meet again as opponents! The road to the Yellow River is long, Ling Tian shall not see you off!”

”If there's a next life, let us meet again as opponents!” Ye BaiFei silently repeated these words, and laughed out, shouting, ”You too! He who understands me, Ling Tian!”

A tremor suddenly pa.s.sed through his body, and Ye BaiFei found that all his internal energy that had been sealed was suddenly unlocked. A look of appreciation and grat.i.tude pa.s.sed across his face, and when he turned around, he found out that only he was left in the chamber.

Looking at the chamber door which was left ajar without any guards, he sincerely whispered, ”Thank you, Ling Tian! If there's a next life, maybe we might not be enemies, but bosom friends!”

On the journey back, Ling Tian had a heavy expression. Ling Chen finally couldn't take it anymore and curiously asked, ”Young n.o.ble, just now when you were talking to Ye BaiFei, I didn't understand a single word you spoke to him.”

Ling Tian halted in his steps, sighing, ”Chen'er, while Ye BaiFei might not be a good person and even could be considered a heartless killer, he is, in the end, a hero!”

Ling Chen was stunned into silence. Since he was no good person, how could he still be a hero?

”Not every good person is definitely a hero,” Ling Tian mused. ”Just as not every evildoer is a villain! There would always exist anomalies! And for a hero, he has his own moral principles that we can't shame or cross!”

Hurried footsteps could be heard from afar, and Ling Tian seemed to have felt something, as his face changed and he stiffened.

A bloke full of sweat rushed over, going down on one knee as he reported, ”Young n.o.ble, this servant has just discovered that the secret chamber was left unlocked, and inside, Ye BaiFei had committed suicide by destroying all his meridians!”

Ling Chen let out an 'ah' in shock, not knowing what to do.

Ling Tian had on an icy expression. He suddenly turned, staring up at the sky as though recalling something, but also looking as though he was sending something. At where he stared, clouds lazily floated by, serene and beautiful. At this point, he solemnly sp
