787. Why bother explaining why I'm killing you?
Emperor Ye Wu nodded slightly and asked softly, "If I leave, what will you do?"
A poignant smile curved the woman's lips, a smile that resembled the unforgettable image in Emperor Ye Wu's dreams, deeply imprinted in his heart.
A similar smile, a sorrowful smile, strikingly similar to the person Ye Wudi vividly remembered in his dreams!
In the past, I was not in control of my own destiny and had to flee. I could only tightly close the little light in my heart and watch it gradually go out.
Today, everything I see is the same, but the difference is that I am no longer that boy who could only run away!
The Night Martial Emperor's expression was terrifyingly calm, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. 'I am the Martial Emperor, and I shall kill when necessary!'
I was once a boy fleeing in the shadows; now I am a martial emperor, my might shaking the four corners of the land!
Looking at the strikingly similar faces, it was a boy who had been forgotten for a long time.
Time may pass, but people are not the same as before.
Emperor Yewu nodded slightly and said to the dark-skinned man, "Give them a proper burial."
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, we will find the best place to bury you." The two dark-skinned men bowed hurriedly in response, their eyes, which had been filled with awe and fear, now relaxed slightly.
He quickly pulled the oxcart, carrying the two coffins, and headed out of the city, thinking to himself, 'This is Nanfang City, I'd better leave quickly, or I'll be in trouble if they start watching me.'
I can't come to Nanshi for the time being; I need to go to Beifangshi to hide there first.
Emperor Ye Wu gently lifted the horse that was slumped on the ground. The attack he had just launched had only eliminated some people who shouldn't have been there; the horse was innocent.
"This horse is quite good; it can even stand up." Seeing the horse's robust and extraordinary appearance, Emperor Yewu murmured, "It's a little dragon horse, not bad at all. It seems this young master has some status!"
He gently helped the kneeling girl to her feet and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, young lady. I will handle the Tong family's affairs properly."
I love reasoning the most, so let's go to the Tong family together and reason with them to convince them.
Please rest assured, young lady, the Tong family will not blame you or me!
"This..." The girl was startled for a moment, but quickly calmed down, seemingly not wanting to think too much about it, and replied softly, "I will forever remember your kindness, sir. If there is an afterlife, I will surely repay your kindness in return!"
Emperor Ye Wu gently lifted the girl onto the horse's back, just like the cowherd of that time, gently leading the old yellow ox. Niubei Mountain was the person he missed day and night!
A man, a woman, and a horse!
Emperor Ye Wu, like an old cowherd, took the reins and led the old horse slowly forward, just as he used to herd cattle.
The girl on horseback, fearless in the face of death, felt a mix of fear and relief!
He thought to himself, 'Thank you, great hero. If this can save you from this calamity, I will have no regrets even if I die!'
The girl, who had never ridden a horse before, was now riding on its back. Moreover, it was a very expensive little dragon horse, which was frighteningly expensive, costing more than two hundred taels of silver.
There's also the fine horse feed they get daily, which costs half a tael of silver per meal!
On horseback, the girl, seemingly resigned to life and death, still had tears on her face, her posture upright, like a beautiful fairy standing atop a mountain, looking down at the bustling crowd below.
Those bright eyes, having seen few beautiful sights in the world, now seemed to have reached a higher level, reflecting everything around them and taking in everyone's emotions.
Among the crowd, worried eyes were like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, fearful expressions resembled frightened fledglings, while those smug faces were like cunning foxes lurking in dark corners.
The moment felt so real; glancing at the smug looks, my heart was filled with bewilderment.
There was no time to think; the horse was moving very fast, and the crowd drifted past like willow catkins!
Along the way, the myriad aspects of life I had never seen before came so vividly to my heart, filling me with wonder and awe.
Emperor Ye Wu slightly opened his divine sense. This Tong family land was naturally the same place where the Third Young Master had come from, and now the little dragon horse should return in the same way.
The Tong family has been developing rapidly during this period. Through some connections, several family members have been recruited into the Demon Exorcism Guard, which is a highly desirable position.
Slaying demons and monsters is a perfect opportunity to catch the Crown Prince's eye. It's different from the old Demon Slaying Division; there are no mandatory missions, no need to go to your death, and many merits can be bought with money.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he sent his family members out to carry out a large-scale abduction of young women, all for the sake of their exquisite perfume.
Young Master Tong is indeed a young master, but he is the son of Fifth Master Tong. Fifth Master Tong only has this one precious son, so naturally he dotes on him.
His cultivation level was not weak either, and he might become a Martial King in the future. Master Tong naturally took good care of him and allowed him to occasionally go out and act recklessly, bullying the weak and miserable to relieve the frustration of cultivation.
There are also things like cultivating the invincible heart of the Third Young Master, training the Third Young Master to be invincible, forging ahead without hesitation, and preparing to break through to the Martial King realm!
Constantly bullying those inferior to oneself, those suffering without background, to cultivate an invincible mind and thereby build self-confidence—it sounds extremely ironic. How could such cultivation possibly lead to breaking through to the Martial Emperor level?
Such methods cannot truly forge inner strength; instead, they expose one's inner fragility and selfishness.
Many strong people believe that true strength lies in resilience in adversity and self-transcendence in challenges, rather than seeking self-comfort by oppressing the weak.
The actions of the Third Young Master Tong were nothing more than a ridiculous act of self-deception.
But why was Tong San Gongzi allowed to act in this way? Especially when the Holy Emperor was traveling and the royal city was in chaos, Tong San Gongzi was able to act with impunity, kicking down doors and silencing witnesses more than once.
This is merely an attempt to break through my own limitations, like surpassing my former self, preparing to break through my current realm and advance to the sixth rank.
In the past, when the Holy Emperor was alive, the Third Young Master Tong bullied the servants and maids around him. Like many scions of noble families, he cultivated an invincible mind. Although it was twisted, it seemed to have some effect, and he successfully broke through several times in a row.
Many with above-average talent even broke through to the Martial King level, which is quite predictable.
As for breaking through to the Martial Emperor level with such a mindset, it's hopeless for the Martial Sovereign. However, among the aristocratic families, those with such talent are only expected to break through to the Martial King level.
Even those with the slightest aptitude for becoming Martial Emperors will not be allowed to run rampant.
Unless it's some unknown new aristocratic family!
Otherwise, he would have already made arrangements for his reckless behavior before his hopes were dashed, including maintaining his virginity and ignoring worldly affairs!
As for someone like Young Master Tong, if it were merely a matter of killing some servants, the villagers could easily break through, which would be extremely cost-effective.
I heard that a martial artist annihilated two hundred people from a village infected by demons in broad daylight, leaving no survivors!
