1051 A Bloody Journey (1/2)
Sun Mingxiu said with a bitter smile, ”Although I am not from a great family, we used to be doing quite well. However, we were attacked by enemies and everyone was killed overnight. This is a thing of the past, and it is useless to say more. But, the most profound memory of the tragedy in my mind is when my late father was besieged by the enemy and fell into a disadvantageous and precarious situation. I know that he could break out and escape with his cultivation base, but he never did that and fought until he was killed. Before he died, he cried out at the top of his lungs—if a man cannot protect his family, what's the point of living?”
”My late father's words have been ringing in my ears all these years, and to be able to protect everything I have is my lifelong obsession.”
”The Residence of Nine Supremes is my home, and all the senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters are my brothers and sisters. My wish in this life is to live safely and happily with everyone forever. Anyone who tries to destroy this, I will definitely fight them to the death!”
With a smile on his face, he said, ”That's pretty much what I have in mind. I couldn't think of anything more long-term.”
Yun Yang smiled warmly and said softly as he gave Sun Mingxiu a deep look, ”Mingxiu, you are very good, very good!”
This disciple might not be as gifted as Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin, but he had a good heart.
By the time the conversation with Sun Mingxiu ended, Hu Xiaofan had also finished his fight, and he even collected all the spoils and handed them to Yun Yang with a smile. ”Master, I was able to accomplish the task by good luck, and the spoils are quite abundant...Hehe...”
Yun Yang's face darkened as he said gravely, ”Why are you laughing?”
Hu Xiaofan's face turned pale at once, and he squared his shoulder as he said, ”I'm sorry!”
”Hand all the spoils to your Uncle-Master Shi!” Yun Yang glared at him and said, ”The timing of your attack is not bad, but what is the matter with your sword moves? They are all messy and out of order! If it weren't for your superior cultivation base, you would have been killed by now! How could you be so proud of yourself? Why are you laughing? Are you thinking about the spoils? You want a share of it?”
Hu Xiaofan's forehead was covered with cold sweat. ”No, I have absolutely no such intentions.”
Yun Yang snorted and stopped talking. Meanwhile, Hu Xiaofan put his hands down by his side and did not dare to say a word again.
Yun Yang actually had great expectations of Hu Xiaofan. Not only was this disciple not bad in nature, but he could even be said to be very kind and honest. However, his life experience was quite different from that of other disciples.
Before he joined the Residence of Nine Supremes, he forged a chance to live with forbearance and blood, and hence, the brutality in his personality had always been the strongest among all disciples. Even adults with rich experience were hard to compare with him.
If he had not joined the Residence of Nine Supremes but taken other paths, even if he did not become a bloodthirsty devil as an adult, he would become an extreme person who acted only according to his nature!
It was because Yun Yang knew this that he often scolded Hu Xiaofan harshly, his intention being to polish this disciple.
However, this boy's nature was very good indeed. He had just left dejectedly, but as soon as he returned to his fellow brothers and sisters, he was high-spirited again and kept on bragging. Yun Yang did not know whether he should laugh or weep about this.
'Don't you think you should at least put on a dejected face since I've just reprimanded you?'
”Keep going!”
Hu Xiaofan had fought aggressively and killed all those disciples of Illusory Sword Sect, but he did not get much spoils from them. The only valuable thing was just a storage ring, while other odds and ends could not even enter the eyes of the people with super wealth like Yun Yang.
