Chapter 474 But I feel it shouldn't be like this (4000 words)
"I will ask you one more time: why did you target Tu Shan Jing Ci's pageboy?"
Chen Bing stared coldly at Wang Zhong, as if he were a dead man.
"I...I really didn't mean any harm to Xiao Mo. It was all...it was just a coincidence."
Wang Zhong coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Blood was oozing from his eyes, nose, and ears.
"Still being stubborn?"
Chen Bing's tone was filled with anger.
The next moment, Wang Zhong was grabbed by the neck by a large hand formed from spiritual energy and slowly lifted up.
Suspended in mid-air, Wang Zhong kicked his legs incessantly, his strong will to survive causing him to grip the illusory giant hand tightly.
However, nine-year-old Chen Jue kept his head down and bent over, never once looking at Wang Zhong.
But his body was trembling involuntarily.
"I'll ask you one last time! Why did you provoke that page of Tushan Mansion?" Chen Bing's patience seemed to have reached its limit, and he was about to annihilate Wang Zhong's soul and body in the next moment.
"I...I really didn't mean to provoke them. It was all a coincidence. It was all because Xiao Mo was meddling in other people's business." Wang Zhong's eyes were already rolling back, and his voice was extremely weak.
"Humph!"
Chen Bing snorted coldly and waved his sleeve.
Wang Zhong was thrown heavily to the ground, creating a large crater, and then completely lost consciousness.
"Jiao Gongfeng, take Wang Zhong down there and treat his wounds. Don't let him die."
Chen Bing sat in the chair and spoke to the offerings beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jiao Gongfeng bowed and quickly led Wang Zhong away.
At this moment, only Chen Bing and his son Chen Jue remained in the room.
Chen Bing took another sip of tea, the sound of the teacup rubbing against its rim echoing softly in the room.
After a long while, Chen Bing slowly said, "Wang Shilang's son is not bad. He is loyal to you. Even when he was about to die, he did not betray you."
"Father." Chen Jue swallowed hard, thinking about how to explain.
"Alright." Chen Bing waved his hand. "It's just the two of us here, father and son. You don't need to hide it. Besides, with your little bit of cleverness, who wouldn't see through it?"
Chen Bing raised his head, looked at his son, and said:
"You sent Wang Zhong to cause trouble for Xiao Mo, and that human girl named Liu Shui was just unlucky. She happened to come to the alchemy room and was used as an excuse to kill Xiao Mo. She was just unlucky."
"You didn't find any trouble for Xiao Mo, but you did get yourself into a mess."
"What? You care that much about that human named Xiao Mo?"
Chen Jue gritted his teeth, no longer hiding anything, and said seriously, "Reporting to Father, Xiao Mo has a very good relationship with Tu Shan Jing Ci, and Madam Tu Shan values him highly."
"Most importantly, I've heard that Lady Tushan has already taught Xiao Mo the 'Great Dream of Yellow Millet.' I've also heard that the 'Great Dream of Yellow Millet' is of great significance to the Tushan clan. I'm just worried..."
"Absurd!" Chen Bing slammed his hand on the table, which instantly turned into wood dust.
"Please calm down, Father Emperor." Chen Jue was startled and quickly bowed even lower.
Chen Bing clenched his fist and said coldly:
"Even if Lady Tushan gave the 'Great Dream of Yellow Millet' to Xiao Mo, so what? It only means that she values Xiao Mo. The ancient rule of the Tushan Fox Clan is long gone!"
"Use your brain and think about it carefully. In today's world of demons, would the Tushan Fox Clan allow its women to marry a human in the future?"
"Shouldn't Tu Shan Xin Hua consider the future of the Tu Shan clan?"
"Does the Tushan clan truly have no ambition for this demon realm?"
"Aside from the reclusive Vermilion Bird clan and the eager Teng Snake clan, the only remaining noble divine beast bloodlines from ancient times are the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan and that true dragon from the North Sea!"
"The world of demons is about to be reshuffled, and the Tushan Clan will not let go of the value of any of its children!"
"Even if we take a step back and say that Tu Shan Jingci was good friends with a human when he was a child, so what?"
"Tu Shan Jingci is young and doesn't understand things now, but as he grows older, he will become more aware of his nobility! In the end, he will leave the human race far behind!"
"And what's the point of killing Xiao Mo? You'll only make Tu Shan Jingci hate you, giving other family members an opportunity to take advantage!"
"In comparison, you, as the eldest prince of my Heavenly Demon Kingdom, the future crown prince, and the ruler of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, actually dare to argue with a mere page?! Don't you feel ashamed of your status?!"
Upon hearing his father's words, Chen Jue suddenly realized his mistake and bowed deeply again, saying, "Your subject knows his mistake and begs for punishment from Your Majesty!"
"Hoo," Chen Bing exhaled deeply, calming his anger.
"It's enough that you know you were wrong."
Chen Bing stood up, walked to his son's side, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Jue'er, you possess a rare ancient demonic body. In the future, your bloodline will surely revert to its ancestral form, restoring the glory of our Feather Clan. Even the Vermilion Bird Clan would not dare to underestimate you. Moreover, you have been intelligent since childhood, possessing a maturity far beyond your peers. However, you are still too young and lack experience, and you have a long way to go."
"Tomorrow you will go to Tu Shan Jing Ci and apologize, showing some manly manners, understand?"
Chen Jue nodded solemnly: "Understood, Father."
"That's good to know."
Chen Bing said with satisfaction, his eyes burning with ambition.
"After our demon race was defeated in the Second Great War between Humans and Demons, various forces in the demon world are restless and will usher in the greatest period of chaos. However, for our Heavenly Demon Kingdom, it is also the greatest opportunity!"
"Our Heavenly Demon Kingdom! We must capture him!"
"Xiao Mo, are you alright?"
"Xiao Mo, are you in pain?"
"Xiao Mo, do you want to go to the clinic again?"
"Why don't we go find the clinic again?"
"After all, Sister Moonstone isn't a medical cultivator. What if you have any of the aftereffects mentioned in the book?"
in the courtyard.
Just as the maid Yue Shi was applying medicine and bandaging Xiao Mo's wounds, Tu Shan Jing Ci wagged her little tail and looked at Xiao Mo with nervousness and worry.
“Miss, I’m really fine. These are just some minor injuries. They’ll be fine in a few days. There’s no need to go to the clinic.”
Xiao Mo smiled helplessly.
After Xiao Mo was brought back to the courtyard by Tu Shan Jingci, she kept talking about it in Xiao Mo's ear.
Xiao Mo didn't find it annoying.
After all, it's my good fortune to have someone who cares about me so much. Besides my parents, how many people would care about me that much?
Not to mention that he never had parents in his life.
However, Xiao Mo felt that the young lady was too anxious.
"Yes, Miss, Xiao Mo is fine. He only has some minor injuries and will be fine after resting for a while. Don't worry."
After tying a knot in the bandage on Xiao Mo's arm, Yue Shi comforted Tu Shan Jing Ci.
That's what she said, but there was a hint of anger in Moonstone's eyes.
Judging from the two scratch marks on Xiao Mo's neck, this was more than just a conflict and argument.
Those pageboys were clearly aiming to kill Xiao Mo!
If it weren't for Xiao Mo's considerable strength, he would probably be in grave danger.
I wonder how heartbroken the young lady will be then.
I will not tell Miss about this matter, but I will definitely report it to Madam!
"Don't worry, Jingci. Xiao Mo is really fine. There's no need to worry too much. Otherwise, I would have asked you to take him to the clinic back then."
Just as Yue Shi was deep in thought, a refined voice drifted into the courtyard.
Everyone turned to look and saw a man dressed in a blue robe slowly walking over.
"I have met Mr. Xian."
Tu Shan Jingci and the other two quickly stepped forward and bowed to the man.
"Greetings, everyone." Mr. Xian bowed and returned the greeting.
"Sir, what brings you here?" Tu Shan Jingci asked in confusion.
"I've come to have a chat with Young Master Xiao," Xian Xichun said with a smile, looking at Xiao Mo. "I wonder if Young Master Xiao has some free time now to accompany me for a walk?"
“Since you have invited me, sir, I would naturally not dare to refuse. Please, sir.” Xiao Mo nodded.
"Young Master Xiao, please."
Xian Xichun made a "please" gesture, waiting for Xiao Mo to walk to her side, and then the two of them walked into the woods together.
Tu Shan Jingci took a small step forward, trying to keep up.
But Moonstone pulled his young mistress back and shook his head.
Tu Shan Jingci could only bite her thin lips and watch Mr. Xian and Xiao Mo gradually walk away.
In the woods, Xian Xichun took out a pill from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Mo:
"This pill is called the Spirit Healing Pill. It has a remarkable effect on repairing injuries, especially on the growth of flesh and blood. If Young Master Xiao doesn't mind, you may give it a try."
Xiao Mo glanced at the pill in Xian Xichun's hand, then at Xian Xichun herself, his expression showing a hint of wariness.
"Hahaha," Xian Xichun laughed heartily, "Young Master Xiao is so young, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. Don't worry, Young Master Xiao, this pill is my apology. I have no other intentions. I wouldn't stoop to harming a child."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xian, for bringing the medicine."
Xiao Mo didn't stand on ceremony, took the pill, and swallowed it.
In an instant, Xiao Mo felt a warm current flowing through his body.
My arms and neck, which were still a bit sore, suddenly felt much better.
Xiao Mo could even feel his wounds healing faster.
"Young Master Xiao, do you not want to ask why this pill is considered my 'apology'?" Xian Xichun smiled as she looked at Xiao Mo.
"I've guessed a bit." Xiao Mo's expression was somewhat solemn. "Although I am a human, I am still Miss Tu Shan's page. Logically speaking, Wang Zhong and his group shouldn't have attacked me, let alone killed me. I'm afraid all of this is the will of their master."
Hearing Xiao Mo's answer, a hint of surprise flashed in Xian Xichun's eyes:
“Young Master Xiao is indeed precocious. What you said is right. The reason why Wang Zhong attacked you was because he was instructed by his master.”
"As for the other pageboys, they were just fooled by Wang Zhong."
"I don't understand." Xiao Mo shook his head.
Logically speaking, I was just a pageboy and had not offended Chen Jue. Even if Chen Jue disliked me as a human, there was no need for him to kill me.
What good would that do him?
Xian Xichun stopped and bowed to Xiao Mo: "I can't tell you the reason for this, but Chen Jue is my student, and he did such a ruthless thing. It is indeed my dereliction of duty. But please rest assured, young master Xiao, this kind of thing will not happen again."
"The teacher taught them principles, but they didn't listen. What does that have to do with the teacher?" Xiao Mo bowed in return. "It's just a matter of how to deal with Wang Zhong and the others according to the academy's rules."
Xian Xichun lowered her eyes, a hint of melancholy flashing across her face: "According to the academy's rules, anyone who kills without cause, whether or not they succeed, should be expelled from the academy and never be allowed to set foot in Hanshan Academy again."
Xiao Mo was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked again, "May I ask, sir, what should be done if someone kills a demon without cause?"
"."
This time, it was Xian Xichun who fell silent.
His throat bobbed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Finally, Xian Xichun took a deep breath and said, "Those who kill demons without cause shall pay with their lives."
"I see," Xiao Mo said, his eyes calm as autumn water after receiving the answer.
"Young Master Xiao, do you feel this is very unfair? We all have the same fate, so why are demons and humans treated differently?" Xian Xichun asked.
“A demon’s life is a demon’s life, and a human’s life is a human’s life,” Xiao Mo replied. “This is the world of demons, and human lives are as worthless as grass. I can understand that.”
“But,” Xiao Mo raised his head and looked directly into Xian Xichun’s eyes, “I can understand, but I feel it shouldn’t be like this.”
After speaking, Xiao Mo took a step back and bowed again: "Thank you for the pills, sir, and thank you for telling me all this. It's getting late, and my young lady is still waiting for me in the courtyard. I'll take my leave now."
"Get some rest." Mr. Xian bowed and bid farewell to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo turned and left.
Even after Xiao Mo disappeared into the distance, Xian Xichun did not look away, but stared in the direction he left.
“This human boy looks a lot like you.” Jiang Feng, a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, emerged from behind a locust tree, leaned against the trunk, and looked at Xian Xichun while holding his longsword. “And that little girl from the Tushan clan looks a lot like her.”
"Not like us, and I don't want to be like us." A hint of reminiscence flashed in Xian Xichun's eyes. "Like us, there's no good ending."
"Speaking of which," Xian Xichun composed herself and looked at Jiang Feng, "why aren't you going back to the Hall of Affairs? What are you doing following me around all this time?"
Jiang Feng spat the grass root out of his mouth: "There's something I was going to tell you, but I forgot because of those little ones."
"What is it?" Xian Xichun asked her friend.
"I'm leaving the academy," Jiang Feng said smugly. "Recently, a scholar from the White Deer Academy came to our demon realm. I heard that he is skilled in swordsmanship and specializes in testing his swordsmanship with demon sword cultivators. I want to go and have a match with him."
"Alright. But don't die." With his friend gone, Xian Xichun was inevitably saddened, but he didn't try to persuade his friend, because he knew it would be useless.
"You are."
Jiang Feng stepped forward, patted Xian Xichun on the shoulder, and looked at him earnestly.
"Don't die! Don't flip the table! Living is more important than anything else!"
"If you die, not only me, but she in the afterlife will not forgive you!"
