559 Heaven’s End Cliff 6 (1/2)

Fan Zhuo stared with those eyes at the expressions on Qiao Chu and the others. Suddenly, his expression changed again and reverted back to his usual gentle and amicable smile.

”I'm sorry if I frightened you guys.” Fan Zhuo looked at everyone apologetically.

Qiao Chu's expression was rather wooden as he didn't know how to react.

Hua Yao was frowning as he stared at Fan Zhuo. He had not wanted to mention it but Fan Zhuo's reaction had been completely different from what he expected. If he had only heard things about the Middle Realm, then why did he react so strongly? And if he was not mistaken, Fan Zhuo eyes had earlier been filled with pure murder and hatred.

He hated the Twelve Palaces?

Why?

Hua Yao finally said: ”You are from the Middle Realm.”

Fan Zhuo did not hide the fact and nodded his head. He looked at Hua Yao and the others and said smiling: ”As you all are, am I wrong? Brother Hua, Dumb Qiao, Little Yan, Little Ruo….. and Little Xie? No no no….. Little Xie is not, because Little Xie did not react to my words in the slightest.”

Fan Zhuo rubbed his chin, his face split into a smile.

”Your guess is correct.” Hua Yao nodded and said.

”You hold a grudge against the Twelve Palaces?” Hua Yao asked, feeling a little puzzled. Why had the strong aura of malice earlier suddenly disappeared completely without a trace of it present now? The hatred within those eyes earlier were in no way less than what they all felt. But, why had it faded so fast?

”We cannot coexist.” Fan Zhuo's smile grew wider but there was no joy in his eyes.

”Why?” Hua Yao persisted.
