Return Of The Monarch 24 Fate

Feng Hui stopped questioning the teenager, and he turned around to see the eyes of hundreds of survivors fixed on his body. Within their gaze, there was both worship and confusion.

A while back, Feng Hui and Sun Yi had separated from Liu Jun's group.

Upon entering Xinlong Paradise, Liu Jun's group had chosen to hunt the monsters on the outskirts of the domain. For them, this path was safer compared to charging straight into the center of the madness.

Seeing the black-robed man's uncaringness, Xie Na's family had opted to follow Liu Jun instead. Furthermore, their beloved daughter and Qian Xue were on excellent terms. It was better for them to have defenders who would wholeheartedly protect them over two indifferent men.

However, Xie Na still ardently wished to follow Feng Hui, but her father ruthlessly dissuaded her. With the threat of being disowned, the cute red-bloused girl couldn't retort otherwise. In the father's eyes, these two men were too unreliable with their cold personalities.

"…" Upon turning, Feng Hui's starry eyes flashed with a sharp light. In a flash, the rope knot around the plain-looking teenager's hand had been unraveled.

"What?" Mo Hongxi noticed his hands were untied, and he stood up with somewhat wobbly knees. The adults had cruelly tackled him down, and he felt some pain in his body; his waist ached especially.

"A master…" Qie Chuanli watched the mystical phenomenon, and he wanted to worship the black-robed man. The survivors observed the plain-looking Mo Hongxi stand up, but no one dared to tie him back down. It was the will of the black-robed man, after all.

Feng Hui shook his head after examining the arcade. Walking back to the red-haired Sun Yi, he stated, "There's nothing here for us."

"Mn." Sun Yi nodded. The two of them were hunting for yellow-portal monsters. So far, these creatures were the highest-leveled monsters available. Compared to goblins and skeletons, their appearance wasn't too common.

The two of them were prepared to walk out of the arcade, but a soft voice cried out.

"Don't leave us here with these animals! Please take us!" Bao Jing cried out, and she ran up to the two men.

At the same time, Mo Hongxi also sprinted up toward the two, and he kneeled. "Take us!"

These two mysterious men were their only chance for survival. As mere fourteen-year-old teenagers, the two of them were weak. Mo Hongxi acknowledged this fact.

The black-robed Feng Hui looked at the teenager who still resembled a child. Furthermore, to the boy's side, a pale beauty also respectfully kneeled. For some reason, the two of them reminded him of his childhood with Zhi Ruo in the Dragon Continent. The feeling mystified him.

"No." However, Feng Hui's answer remained the same. Perhaps, it would be even more dangerous to follow him. He would be sending himself into the jaws of the monsters, after all.

Hearing this, the two teenagers felt their heart drop, and the pale Bao Jing even let out a piercing cry.

"Please!" Bao Jing continued kneeling, and she hoped that the black-robed man would change his mind.

"Brother Hui said no. It's worthless to try and change his mind." Sun Yi sneered, and he swiftly shattered the hopes of the two teenagers. He added, "However, it's safe outside. We've cleared out the monsters."

"We can't do this alone! I won't stop kowtowing until you agree!" Not standing up, Bao Jing bashed her small head on the carpet floor. The sound was deafening. On her forehead, there was visible red blood that contrasted her pale skin.

"The world doesn't work like that." Seeing the blood, Sun Yi scorned. If one were to beg enough, did that mean others would be obligated to help them? With just one look, he could discern that these two teenagers were spoilt rotten.

From childhood, Sun Yi had never once received a speck of love from his so-called parents.

In his world, Sun Yi could only rely on himself. Even if he were to plead, nothing would change.

Feng Hui viewed the irritation in the red-haired man's eyes; however, he sensed a different emotion. Within his friend's gaze, there was a hint of sadness and loneliness, and he could discern this with ease.

Shaking his head, Feng Hui sighed, "Let's go."

However, while Feng Hui was prepared to leave, the unwilling Bao Jing ran toward him. Feeling the small hand on his wrist, he looked into the bright eyes of the fourteen-year-old beauty. Within her gaze, he discerned the immense will to survive. The desire to live on for even one more day.

Bao Jing securely held onto the black-robed man's wrist, and her eyes didn't falter at the man's bottomless stare.

Sun Yi was irritated at the brazenness, but he let his friend decide for himself.

Compared to himself, the girl was a mere child. Feng Hui had lived two lives, after all. Lifting his brow, he narrowed his eyes, and he stared into the depths of the little girl's mind.

Regardless, Bao Jing kept her eyes firmly locked onto the black-robed man, and she was unrelenting. Truth be told, she was incredibly terrified of this mysterious man, but the fear of staying with these scared-to-fault adults was even greater. In this scary world, it was necessary to surround yourself with powerful, courageous men.

"Hm." Feng Hui chuckled at her unrelenting eyes.

When Bao Jing heard this chuckle, she gained some hope, but suddenly there was a flicker in the black-robed man's pitch-black eyes.

"Zt."

In a flash, Bao Jing loosened her grip, and she stared at the black-robed man in shock. In her mind, something told her to quickly let go, or else something terrible would happen.

"Little girl, it's not safe to follow me either. We're on two different paths, after all." Feng Hui smiled. Fate was like that. If the two of them tried to walk on the same path, it would only do harm to the both of them.

"I have my own path, and so do you." Feng Hui stated. For people destined to never meet, rather than forcing a doomed companion relation, it was better to maintain that standstill. In the Dragon Continent, this fact had been made far too clear for him.

"But since you have met me, it can still be considered fate." Feng Hui chuckled, and his eyes flashed. With a thought, he bestowed the pale little girl with a minor cultivation technique. It was called the Earth Upturnal Technique; a cultivation technique he had pillaged on his first trip outside the Long Kingdom. In his eyes, the technique was trivial; however, it would be seen differently by the little girl.

Bao Jing's mind was flooded with life-changing information, and she gazed at the black-robed man in awe. A second later, she dropped to her knees, and she brightly exclaimed, "Thank you, Master!"

Life was fleeting. For a mere child, a minor encounter could change their lives entirely. Afterward, Feng Hui looked toward the red-haired man, and he discovered a trace of tremor. Perhaps, if Sun Yi was also a.s.sisted like this in his childhood, his demeanor would have transformed entirely.

Truthfully, Feng Hui had done this deed to open Sun Yi's mind to the other possibilities of life; furthermore, he had always believed that children were innocent. A single turmoil in life shouldn't be able to decide the future character of a child. In the Long Kingdom, one was considered an adult only after reaching the age of fifteen, and most females would be married out at the age of sixteen.

With his experience as a ruler, Feng Hui could see through the problems of Sun Yi's mind. But as a friend, it was not his place to probe too much, so he only did a minor interference. In the end, it was up to his friend to decide his own future.

Under the respectful worshipping, Feng Hui left the arcade with the dumbfounded Sun Yi.
