The Return of the Greatest Sect Leader
Chapter 55 ~ A Child's Confession

The streets are bustling with people. The night was long but the city was still awake. In front of a random shop, Ren Shun and the little boy were sitting next to each other on a fairly long wooden bench.

"Do you hate that woman?" asked Ren Shun foolishly.

The boy had just told Ren Shun, a stranger he had just met. Is that the right action? The boy doesn't know. After telling the story, the child's feelings have begun to improve even if only a little.

"Of course I hate him so much! He's been lying to me, playing me!" answer the child in the heart.

Sadness still covered the child's face. He was silent, not answering Ren Shun's question.

"You must hate him so much now." Ren Shun answered his own question, then asked another one.

"Did you love him?"

The question echoed in the child's head. Many times the boy replied that he did not love the woman, but he still could not be sure. The boy was silent in a strange turmoil in his mind.

"Are you never going to forgive her?" Ren Shun continued asking, This is the last question he will ask the child. He knew that the boy should not be kept pressed by his questions.

The child was still silent with a raging mind.

"You have to decide for yourself, son! After all, a mother is willing to do anything to protect her child. Your mother is no different, either" said Ren Shun, then stood up, looking at the child with pity.

"Son, I can't keep you company any longer. May fate bring us together, see you!" ren Shun said, he left the boy who was still struggling in his own mind.

"Make a decision you never regret!"

Finished saying that sentence, Ren Shun's figure in an instant instantly disappeared. The boy saw Ren Shun's departure in silence. No one is accompanying him now.

In the middle of the somewhat lonely road, Ren Shun spoke to himself.

"Hm... The monster is dead."

Ren Shun's steps stopped, his empty eyes looking south.

"They must have overcome it" said Ren Shun then continued his journey.

"Talking about monsters and demons, I was curious about Chenyu's current state. Is she okay?" muttered Ren Shun, he still spoke alone.

"Who do you mean, my lord?" ask someone out of nowhere, his form is completely invisible.

"Nobody, just acquaintances from the past," replied Ren Shun.

"Are we going straight home? Isn't it our purpose to come to this empire to meet your fiancee, Princess Qin Yuexin?"

"We're going straight home!" ren Shun.

"Master Ren Tian will definitely be angry with your decision."

"Dad won't be angry, even more so Qin Yuexin dislikes me a lot. Why discuss marriage with such a girl? We will definitely fight" said Ren Shun, the mysterious voice did not reply.

Ten minutes passed in silence, Ren Shun finally spoke again in a longing-laden voice.

"I can't wait for the Imperial Tournament. I wish I could meet him in that world."

***

The shabby boy ran as fast as he could, passing two small children who looked chaotic and battered. The two little ones were Li Yao and Tao Yuhan. The boy continued to run, ignoring the two of them.

His conversation with Ren Shun caused him to think hard. The boy had decided to do something very important.

The residence of the child, the inn looks almost collapsed from the fall. Arriving in front of the inn, the boy saw an old woman holding a knife.

The old woman was the innkeeper and the person who had taken care of her, also the reason for returning to this place. When the old woman wanted to sink the knife into her stomach, the boy shouted and ran over to her.

"STOP IT! IS MOM CRAZY!?"

The old woman's face turned towards the voice, her blank expression instantly instantly filled with shock. He never thought if the child would come back to him, nor did he ever expect the word 'mother' to come out of the child's mouth.

The woman's mouth was about to open, but the sudden embrace given by the child caused her to freeze instantly. All of these events were too shocking that the woman was speechless.

"I hate you! I will never forgive you! You lied to me! I will never forgive you!" said the boy while crying.

The old woman gnashed her teeth firmly, her tears back in the river. Now he has no right to dispute the child's statement.

"Don't die! You have to pay for all your lies until I forgive you! Don't run away! You told me not to be like the goddess, but you were the goddess! He couldn't accept the reality and couldn't step forward."

"The dead will never come back to life, so don't die!"

The woman's cry broke, she could no longer hold back her emotions after hearing all the words of the child. All the guilt that he had been feeling was finally out.

"I'm sorry! I'm really very sorry!"

This is the decision of the child, he does not want to lose the only family he has.

***

It was a very long night.

Currently Li Yao and Tao Yuhan were walking towards the center of the city. They want to report to the city administration office, if their mission is complete. After that Li Yao simply wanted to rest, somehow with Tao Yuhan.

Halfway through, Li Yao and Tao Yuhan sensed something was lacking from them. Whatisit? They either do not know or have not realized it.

Li Yao glanced at Tao Yuhan, there was something strange about the girl's behavior. The usually flat Tao Yuhan now looked extremely agitated. Suddenly Tao Yuhan fell, Li Yao approached her then asked about her circumstances.

"Don't come near me! Go as far as possible!" threaten Tao Yuhan with a very cold tone.

The girl's eyeballs changed shape again, Li Yao could feel that she was being stared at by a wild beast. Before Li Yao could react, Tao Yuhan immediately grabbed Li Yao's hand and bit him.

Li Yao's flesh immediately torn apart.

Tao Yuhan chewed on something with a trembling mouth.

"Go!" said Tao Yuhan slowly, he tried his hardest to tell Li Yao before his consciousness vanished.

Li Yao's eyelids felt heavy, he wanted to reply to Tao Yuhan's words but could not. Back then Li Yao could only grumble inwardly.

"S****n! I'd leave if your bite wasn't poisonous."

Li Yao suddenly felt an intoxicating comfort. The pain and fatigue in his body disappeared, replaced by the comfort he had long craved.

Li Yao's body lost all of its energy. Now he could only surrender and surrender himself to a sense of comfort. Before Li Yao fainted, he saw Tao Yuhan was tearing his flesh once more.

There is no pain at all.

However, Li Yao still could not help but imagine his death.

"Am I going to die silly like this?"
