Realms In The Firmament

No matter who was waiting here, even if it wasYe Nantian, Guan Zhengwen wouldn’t be so surprised… but, it was Ye Xiao! [Ye Xiao… How is it possible?]

Ye Xiao blandly smiled. ”The spirited old Master Guan. What? You didn’t expect me?”

Guan Zhenghao took in a deep breath and nearly breathed in the fog into his chest. He spoke in a low voice, ”I didn’t. I never knew that Lord Ye is actually a peerless superior cultivator! In fact, nobody in the city, even in the kingdom would expect this. Lord Ye actually hides it so deep. I believe I am not the only one who cannot see through you!”

Ye Xiao shook his head lightly and smiled. ”I am flattered, Elder Guan. I am surely much beneath you and your Bone Melting Palm.”

Bone Melting Palm!

Guan Zhengwen’s pupils twisted as he heard these words. He suddenly felt upset and annoyed, brushing the happiness and joy in his chest away.

It turned out it had always been a fake image to him!

[Ye Xiao was actually this powerful in cultivation, so how could I actually frame him?]

[He knew it. He just didn’t say it. He was playing. He kept it a secret till now. Now he is going to make his strike!]

[What the steward, Song Jue, did and what Ye Nantian did after that were all acting. They were playing me and Crown Prince as if we were monkeys for entertainment. He could have found me any time he wanted. He could get me whenever he wants!]

While he was feeling like he was in the prime moment of his life, enjoying it, Ye Xiao showed up and struck right on his head, destroying his dreams and terrifying him at the same time!

Guan Zhengwen was terrified. The sweat on his back gradually soaked his clothes. He tried to maintain his composure as he spoke in a low voice, ”Lord Ye, your are a smart man. How admiring. However, there is one thing I don’t understand. Could you please solve it for me?”

Ye Xiao blandly spoke, ”I guess you want to know why I have to do it now, not earlier. Right?”

”That’s right!” Guan Zhengwen said, ”The power you showed just now, if you want to kill me, you could do it anytime you want. You could even kill me without letting me know what really happened. Why now? Why tonight?”

That was the thing he couldn’t understand the most.

”That’s simple. It wouldn’t feel good to kill you back then. That’s all.” Ye Xiao casually walked over to him with his hands on the back. His snow white clothes was slowly moving in the dense fog, as if he was a god descending to the world, walking among the misty clouds.

”You have been hiding for half of your life. You are apparently great in martial art, but you kept it under the table. You showed up as a scholar, got involved into the battle for the throne, and all you want is nothing but high position in court so that it will benefit your future generations. I am sure that you have been looking forward to your son, your grandsons, and all the children of yours to become officials because of your hard work!”

What Ye Xiao said put Guan Zhengwen into sorrow.

[That’s right. That’s all I need.]

”You said it yourself. I can kill you anytime I want, then why wouldn’t I wait for a better moment that would give me a better feeling? If I killed you a few months ago, you would probably still hope that after you died, Crown Prince would take care of your children because of all the dirty works you did for him.”

”If you died, you just died. You wouldn’t feel pain, sorrow, and desperation. It must be boring to kill you that way.”

Ye Xiao blandly spoke.

”Why are you so sure that I will be desperate now?” Guan Zhengwen sneered.

[Don’t you know the Crown Prince is already invincible now? The king is seriously ill. He is dying soon!]

[In other words, Crown Prince will become king! He will be much more powerful than he is now!]

”Heh, heh. You will be desperate,” Ye Xiao blandly spoke, ”because Crown Prince is going to be fxcked up. The king knows that Crown Prince had committed treason. He also knows Crown Prince slept with his women…”

”What… What did you just say…” Guan Zhengwen stepped back and opened up his eyes widely as he stared at Ye Xiao. He couldn’t believe it.

”Crown Prince planned treason. He successfully associated with many officials and generals. You, Guan Zhengwen, played quite a great role in it. Before Crown Prince slept with the women, as far as what I know, it was you who put drugs in their tea… That is why Crown Prince could always get the women he wants.”

”Now the king knows everything, so Crown Prince’s future is obvious. The best that could happen to him is to become common people.”

Ye Xiao looked at Guan Zhengwen, whose face was grey like ashes. ”Once he is gone, the hard work you spent all your life on will all be wasted. All your hopes will be broken down. Your children will be in the blacklist of the court, and none of your descendants will ever rise again.”

”The Crown Prince might have a chance to live in misery for the rest of his life, but you are surely dying. After all, it is better I do it than somebody else, so that I can take my revenge.”

Ye Xiao said, ”I guess you can die without regrets in my hands!”

Guan Zhengwen gritted with his teeth as he glared at Ye Xiao fiercely. His temples was quivering. He furiously spoke, ”You liar!”

”You are a liar! How is it possible! How do you know all that?”

”It is impossible that the king will know it. He is seriously ill. Even though he knows, so what? Crown Prince is the only qualified one. No matter how vile he is, he is the only choice!”

”You liar!”

Guan Zhengwen called Ye Xiao a liar three times.

However, he couldn’t cover the terror in his eyes.

All those Ye Xiao said were secrets hidden deep inside Guan Zhengwen’s heart!

He called Ye Xiao liar and tried to deny it, but he knew that it wasn’t a lie!

Doom!

He was finished!

The only thing he had now was the dream!

Ye Xiao coldly looked at him. ”Is it really that important whether I am lying or not? The real important thing is that I am giving you a reason why I waited till now to kill you! Is it a good reason for you or not?”

Guan Zhengwen laughed in bitterness. ”Ye Xiao, you are so vicious!”

”You don’t even give me a chance to die in a good dream!”

”Because! You! Don’t! Deserve! It!”

Ye Xiao blandly spoke.
