54 Old Ling And Old Fang. (2/2)

” There you go again!”

After realizing that he had just made the same mistake again, Fang Lan couldn't help but lower his head in shame.

He was already used in calling Ling Chen 'young master'. As such, he found it difficult to call him something other than that.

Not to mention calling him Old Ling would kinda put him in the same height or standing as Ling Chen which was something he could never accept or bring himself to do.

In his mind, he was nothing but a servant and Ling Chen was the master. While traveling with Ling Chen for the past three months, for some unknown reason, he discovered that his entire life or world revolved around Ling Chen.

Whatever he did or think, they were all for the sake of Ling Chen. Even though he didn't find anything wrong with that, he's clearly aware that he wasn't like that before.

”Old Fang, you want to know why I haven't left this city yet. Well, I'm grown tired of the continuous killings day after day.”

”I've been killing people nonstop for the past three months. Though it's all to protect the Heavenly Demon Sect, my mother's home, I begin to lose grip of myself.”

”Not only that, I even felt that I've developed another personality. I need a little break.” Ling Chen's voice was filled with helplessness.

Though he was very powerful and strong will as well, after spending three months of killing people non-stop and absorbing their life force and blood, it took a toll on him mentally. All these mass killing mentally drained him.

One has to understand, no matter how powerful and quick-witted he might seem for his age, he was still a human and little child as well.

At times, he could also feel fragile, fading feebly in and out like a sparkle in the vast expanse of space. He could also feel overwhelmed and losing sight of himself like any regular human being.

Looking at the dejected look on Ling Chen's face, Fang Lan couldn't help but feel guilty despite not doing anything wrong.

”Young master, why don't you ask the Sect master to send you some helpers that way we don't have to do all the killings.”

”We can even split up, that way we could get more work done within a short span of time.” advised Fang Lan.

He didn't understand why Ling Chen didn't get any helpers from the sect to help him accomplish this mission.

It would've been more effective and they could've finished the mission in a short amount of time if they had more people.

They have the list already. All they had to do was to give everyone a list of targets and their locations and they would take care of them at the same time.

There was no need for Ling Chen to travel the whole secular world by himself to take care of everyone in the lists.

”Don't worry, I'll be fine. I'm the one who didn't want help.”

It's true, Ling Chen could have got a bunch of people to help him on that mission but he chose not to. Even though that mission might be long and tiring, he still chose to do it alone. Furthermore, he was using it as an experiment as well.

It was the best way for him to explore his weird power to its fullest as well as the negative impact it had on him.

And so far, he had learned a lot of things about his power and a side of himself he would've never known if he had stayed in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After listening to Ling Chen's answer, Fang Lan didn't say anything again. He just nodded to show his unwavering support.

After they were done eating, Ling Chen and Fang Lan didn't linger too much downstairs and went upstairs in their respective room.
