Fang Yue's memories before the age of seven were filled with daily beatings from his father. His father took out all his resentment at being abandoned by his wife on the child. One day, Fang Yue looked at the scars on his hands and realized that he couldn't go on like this anymore. So, his father died.
But to the world, no matter how wrong parents are, children cannot disobey them, let alone kill them. That would be a crime punishable by heaven.
It's no wonder that Ichiki was so shocked when he heard about this.
"Master, I am very grateful to you." Fang Yue lowered his head slightly, looking at Yi Mu lying in the bloodstains. Unlike the hypocritical pity that Yi Mu had shown before, his eyes held a pity that could move anyone. However, his words were even more chilling. "You brought me back to Xuanmen and taught me a lot of knowledge. If you don't want me to be the successor of the sect leader, I will automatically relinquish my status as the senior brother. If you only wanted to harm me, I would spare your life out of consideration for our years of master-disciple relationship. But why did you have to ruin my glory?"
That last, gentle question revealed his utter incomprehension.
"I wasn't the one who hurt that girl..." Yi Mu looked at Mu Ning, who was unresponsive beside him, and said mockingly, "It was A Ning who did it, have you forgotten? A Ning has always been your closest junior sister since childhood, how could you bring yourself to hurt her?"
Mu Ning was startled.
Fang Yue shook his head, "I can't do it."
Yi Mu laughed as expected, and said sarcastically, "No matter how ruthless and heartless you claim to be, deep down you are still just Chu Yu bound by strict rules and regulations."
Fang Yue didn't look at Yi Mu. He simply walked up to Mu Ning, lifted her chin with his cold fingers, and said in a gentle, watery voice, "Junior sister, I really can't bring myself to kill you."
"Senior Brother..." Mu Ning cried, tears streaming down her face.
"So, you'll have to do it yourself."
She froze for a moment, then uttered a hoarse, uncertain voice, "Big...Senior Brother...what did you say?"
Fang Yue said affectionately, "Can't I use the same dagger you used to stab Feng Guang in the chest to stab you in the same spot?"
"No... I didn't... I didn't mean to kill her, it's because I was affected by the eye technique... Senior Brother, you know why... why blame me... I'm your junior sister!" Mu Ning sobbed, "Senior Brother, you know... Mu Ning has always been most afraid of pain..."
“Feng Guang is also the most afraid of pain.” Fang Yue’s eyes lifted slightly, adding a touch of gentle smile to his brows and eyes, a smile that seemed much more genuine. “But she was so afraid of pain, yet she still gave birth to Xiao Xiao for me, and she still… took a sword for me. She is the best woman in the world, don’t you think, Junior Sister?”
Mu Ning unconsciously went along with his words and replied, "Yes..."
"So, may I ask you to die?"
Mu Ning suddenly understood. Even if he knew that she was under the influence of a pupil technique and that's why she hurt Feng Guang, what mattered to him was that her hand was holding a dagger and stabbing Feng Guang in the chest. It was she who... caused Feng Guang's death.
In his eyes, there was no such thing as a direct or indirect murderer when someone hurt Feng Guang; anyone who hurt her should be considered dead.
This is... this is a man who is completely beyond the comprehension of common sense, and that is precisely what makes him even more terrifying.
