33 An Absolute Acciden (1/2)
Wan-Er frowned and thought for a while.
[However, there may be a small mistake in what I just said. This guy may not be as strong as we imagine. If he was really that strong, he wouldn't have left marks on the grass. But if he really wasn't that strong, it's terrifying that our enemy has such decisiveness.]
They all understood that a stronger cultivator had a stronger determination; naturally, he had more experience, and it was truly terrifying that a cultivator who wasn't strong actually had such a decisive attitude.
Wan-Er spoke slowly with a soft voice as her clothes fluttered in the wind, ”This guy is not very strong, but he may cause some unpredictable troubles in the future. If he is from the Ye Clan, then the unpredictable troubles are coming to us for sure.”
All the men in black lowered their heads with shame.
Then they all left.
There was only Wan-Er still standing there. She was lost in her thoughts.
The man in white didn't show any response to what had happened. When Hei-Yi apologized, the man in white only replied, ”Doesn't such an enemy make the battle more interesting?”
And he continued, ”About the Ye Clan, do what you have to do. Next time, if you are tracked again, bring the culprit to me.”
There was actually a sense of longing in his eyes.
A nervous excitement had invaded his heart, [I have finally found someone to fight against and I hope he could be a formidable rival.]
What he was worried about was that he would be disappointed if Ye Xiao wasn't good enough.
...
Ye Xiao ran off the mountain like a wild wind and then snuck back into the Ye Clan's manor. He found that his whole body was sweating!
The sense of crisis had really given him a huge shock!
He had never known that there was such a horrible place with such terrifying people so close to him!
He hadn't calmed down in spite of reaching his home. He still felt scared. He felt that a poisonous snake had marked him.
He remembered the bamboo forest and its vastness.
He couldn't forget that he had clearly sensed a sharp gaze looking and aiming at him!
The one who had noticed him was absolutely not a common expert cultivator.
An expert cultivator like this shouldn't exist in the mortal world; instead, he should be in the Qing-Yun Realm!
Ye Xiao was very sure about that, because he knew that a mortal world would never be able to contain such a person!
However, it was the truth that this guy existed here.
Why?
...
”My lord, we are framed. We are in huge trouble right now.” Right after Ye Xiao stepped inside the house, the steward spoke to him. The steward seemed very dissatisfied and worried.
”Trouble?” Ye Xiao frowned, ”I don't think so.”
”Errh?” The steward was surprised.
He couldn't understand how killing eight expert cultivators of the Mu Clan was not a huge trouble?
”Even if we weren't framed... the Mu Clan would never make peace with us. This time, there is obviously someone who wants to stir up a disturbance. No matter what they are up to, for now, such actions are actually good for us.”
Ye Xiao smiled.
The steward felt relieved and said, ”Yes.” He increasingly felt that his young master was scheming something...
Ye Xiao stopped for a while and continued, ”However, there is also something bad for us. Things are fine for us at the moment, but the force that wants to stir the mess up must not be a friend of ours.
It is a powerful enemy - an enemy that is impossible to deal with at the moment!”
When he was speaking, he thought of that mountain and that forest again.
”Well, sometimes enemies help us. As long as we keep being the secondary enemy of every force, we could actually remain safe if the cards are played right! We need to work with them and deal with their primary enemies together! That is an unchanged and useful strategy! In fact, we may not work with them, but instead, we could just use them!”
The steward lowered his head without saying a word.
Ye Xiao thought bitterly, [It turns out that to be regarded as a secondary enemy is also a self-perpetuating method.] He felt kind of sad about it.
The Xiao Monarch had never been looked down upon in his prior life. He had always been the primary target, no matter who the enemy was.
But now he needed to make use of his enemies' disdain to protect himself. It was a bitter pill to swallow.
[You can despise me today, but sooner or later, I will be too high for you to reach!] Ye Xiao took a deep breath and he thought, [Someday I will show you that it takes a huge amount of hard work to qualify to be my enemy!]
Ye Xiao stepped into the house, ”I need to rest.”
”The Mu Clan would never make peace with us...” The steward murmured and then was suddenly enlightened.
