"Yes, whether you kill Wu Yi or not is not important to me. But making the Wu Dynasty unhappy is very important to me." Ye Tian had never forgotten that he was a man who had left his homeland with a deep-seated blood feud, and the Wu Dynasty was his hometown. But the Wu Dynasty's royal family did not give him any sense of belonging, and he felt intense hatred for them.
The reason he stopped Liu Rushi was simply because it was the academy's Lantern Festival. Kong Chan and Chen Zhang from the academy had both asked him to ensure nothing went wrong during the festival. That was all.
As for Wu Yi, whether this hostage of the Wu Dynasty, who could become a political sacrifice, lived or died was not important to him. But since he could annoy the Wu Dynasty, it would be best if he died.
"Then...why did you stop me?" Liu Rushi wasn't unintelligent; anyone who could cultivate to the third level of the Golden Immortal realm could be called a genius, especially someone as young as her. Yet, in this short time, she still couldn't understand why Ye Tian, if he wanted her to kill Wu Yi, would stop her.
Ye Tian chuckled and said, "This is the City Lord's Mansion of the Book City. Wu Yi is being held hostage here, making this the perfect place for you to kill him. But why am I stopping you? Because the timing is wrong. This is the Spring Lantern Festival held by the Academy. If you kill him now, Kong Chan will be very unhappy, and I don't want them to be unhappy, so let's wait. The spiritual energy belonging to me in your wounds will return to normal within two or three days. Then you can go to the next courtyard and kill Wu Yi. That will be the perfect combination of timing, location, and people."
After calmly recounting everything to Liu Rushi, Ye Tian stopped looking at the beautiful yet seemingly poisonous woman on the bed and left the small room. Liu Rushi, meanwhile, was dazed and confused, her blank expression clearly indicating she was still processing what had happened.
"You bunch of good-for-nothings! You can't even find a single person in this tiny bookstore? What use are you to me? Get out of my sight right now!" Ye Tian had just stepped out of the city lord's mansion, where Kong Chan had arranged a room for him, when he saw a familiar figure in the courtyard. It was a man with high cheekbones who looked rather gloomy. As Ye Tian looked at him, the man also looked at Ye Tian at the same time. Their eyes met, and a wonderful spark flew between them.
Wu Yi revealed a cruel smile. The Imperial Guard who was kneeling at his feet being scolded was patted on the shoulder by him and stood up with a bewildered look on his face. He pointed to Ye Tian behind him.
The Imperial Guard turned around and looked over, his brows furrowing.
“Kill him,” Wu Yi said with a cruel smile.
