236: Chapter 236 Long Xiaotian 236: Chapter 236 Long Xiaotian “This…”
Li Ruonan hesitated for a long moment before saying, “I discovered it myself…”
“Discovered it yourself?
What kind of joke is that?” the mysterious person huffed.
“Who exactly revealed it to you?
In the end, Li Ruonan couldn’t withstand his pressure and honestly said, “It was told to me by an inner sect disciple of the Galaxy Battle Team.
Ye Haochuan was slightly stunned; the name had a certain flair to it, suggesting it was likely a self-formed organization similar to the Tianyu Alliance, composed of disciples from ancient martial arts sects.
“Mo Wei?” the mysterious person pondered briefly.
“Why would he tell you these things?”
“Because he is a master I had paid respect to, and it was his support that allowed me to enter the Martial Arts Path Realm,” said Li Ruonan.
“Why would he tell you these things?” the mysterious person demanded.
is actually an undercover agent from Hellfire.
My parents are controlled by the people of Hellfire, and it’s all his doing,” Li Ruonan said.
“How did he inform you of the news?” the mysterious person asked again.
“Through our sect’s mobile phone.”
“When did this happen?”
“About half a year ago, I don’t remember the exact day.”
“Have you kept the phone’s message history?”
The mysterious person furrowed his brows and said, “Deleted it?
Then what evidence do you have to prove that what you are saying is true?”
“This…” Li Ruonan hesitated, “The communication system of our sect can retrieve the records, but I don’t have the authority to access them.”
“Is there anything else you wish to say?” the mysterious person said.
“That’s all I know,” Li Ruonan responded.
“Good, good, very good…” The mysterious person’s words were somewhat baffling, yet they sent chills down Li Ruonan’s spine.
Though unsure of the mysterious person’s identity, Li Ruonan felt the icy killing intent coming from within the black cloak and trembled as she said, “You…
you can’t kill me, you promised me.”
“I promised I wouldn’t kill you, and of course, I will not break my promise,” the mysterious person replied with a cold smile before suddenly turning around.
“Ye Haochuan, I’m asking you, what should be done with this woman?”
Ye Haochuan was slightly startled and thought to himself, what a strange person this was, asking me such a question.
Can’t you decide for yourself?
However, for some reason, the more he heard the mysterious person’s voice, the more familiar it felt, and he blurted out, “As for such a sinister and vicious woman, why let her live in this world?
Considering how this woman had used her own follower of many years as a human shield just to save her own life, Ye Haochuan had no good impression of her.
With his nature of detesting evil, his intuitive reaction was to quickly dispatch her!
Moreover, this malicious woman had seen the Ice Soul Sword in his possession.
Should the news leak out, it would undoubtedly bring him considerable trouble.
“Then fine, this matter is entrusted to you to handle!” said the mysterious person.
Ye Haochuan was taken aback once again.
Although he was keen to personally deal with Li Ruonan, the mysterious person’s imperious attitude irked him.
The martial skills cultivation of the mysterious person was clearly at a pinnacle level, far beyond his capability to confront.
Seeing that Teacher An Li’s emotional wounds had gradually stabilized, Ye Haochuan had no choice but to let her be and stood up, walking toward the mysterious person.
This was the first time he faced the mysterious person’s visage directly.
The mysterious person had a square face, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a broad mouth, and a large nose, appearing to be around forty years old.
However, Ye Haochuan was aware that, considering his profound cultivation, his actual age was certainly not this young.
Besides, his face was etched with the signs of a hard life.
“Make your move,” said the mysterious person indifferently.
Ye Haochuan wanted to say a word or two, but as the words reached his lips, he held back.
Looking at Li Ruonan trembling on the ground, he said, “Tell me, how do you want to die?
Horror erupted in Li Ruonan’s eyes as she shook her head continuously, “I…
I don’t want to die.”
“I’m afraid that’s not up to you!” Ye Haochuan snorted, “However, seeing that you’re a woman, I’ll give you the chance to die peacefully.”
After speaking, he took out a poison pill from his storage ring, originating from Hellfire, and fed it into Li Ruonan’s mouth.
In less than a moment, the pill’s effects took hold, and Li Ruonan’s body began bleeding from all seven orifices, falling dead to the ground.
“You’re quite ruthless, kid!” the mysterious person suddenly said.
“It’s not that I’m ruthless!
It’s that I must be!” Ye Haochuan glanced back at the mysterious person, “This woman, with her cruel and venomous deeds, is unforgivable in my eyes!
Even if forgiveness is due, it’s God’s job, not mine.
What I must do, is to send her to meet God.”
The mysterious person laughed, clearly amused by the latter part of Ye Haochuan’s speech.
Yet, Ye Haochuan furrowed his brows and said, “Who exactly are you?
It’s time to reveal your true identity, isn’t it?”
Rather than answering, the mysterious person countered, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you too?”
If I knew I couldn’t beat you, I’d have turned on you long ago,” Ye Haochuan huffed.
The mysterious person threw his head back and laughed, finding that this young man’s way of speaking always carried a thuggish ruffian’s tone, yet he couldn’t help but admire the profound philosophy within his words.
“Who I am isn’t something you need to worry about for now, and it wouldn’t be of any benefit to you,” the mysterious person said gravely, “All right, we shouldn’t stay here long.
I’m leaving first, we’ll meet again later!”
With that, the mysterious person’s cloak billowed, wrapping the body of Li Ruonan from the ground within it.
However, just as he reached the balcony, a ringtone suddenly went off, and it came from his own person.
The mysterious person’s body jolted as Ye Haochuan’s laughter came from behind, “Long Xiaotian, Brother Long, it really is you!
“Ah, I knew I couldn’t hide it from you…”
With a sigh, the mysterious person lifted the cloak from his head, revealing a resolute face.
This admission undoubtedly confirmed that he was indeed Long Xiaotian, the one who had been in contact with Ye Haochuan all along!
Ye Haochuan shook his phone with a smile, “Thank goodness I added you as a WeChat friend.
The moment the voice chat started, it would’ve been strange if your phone hadn’t rung.”
Long Xiaotian laughed heartily, “You’re one cunning kid.”
“By the way, Brother Long, did you come to Haishan this time for this Li Ruonan?” Ye Haochuan suddenly asked.
Long Xiaotian snorted in disdain, “Li Ruonan is a nobody.
Is she worth my, Long Xiaotian’s, personal visit?
I’m here for tomorrow’s Xiao Group’s Elder Xiao Jian’s birthday banquet.”
He actually called Old Master Xiao from the Xiao Group ‘Elder Xiao’?
What arrogant bravado!
Beyond Ye Haochuan’s stunned silence, he was also somewhat astonished.
Here I am, fraternizing with him like a brother, doesn’t that make Old Master Xiao a generation lower than me?
