Chapter 1002: The Sacrifice
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Ye Leng’an, you really have Ye family’s blood.” Ye Yikun admired Ye Leng’an but felt sorry too. “Too bad, such a great bloodline won’t live up to its potential.”
If Ye Leng’an had grown up in the Ye family, maybe he wouldn’t have picked her. But there were no ifs in this world.
“Oh, are you going to kill me?” Ye Leng’an stayed calm. “But I wonder, why all the fuss? Why not just kill me?”
“Smart, Ye Leng’an. Yes, I’ll kill you,” Ye Yikun agreed. “Not now, but soon.”
“So, I’m still useful?” Ye Leng’an got it. “Why kill me? Not because I won’t go back to the Ye family, right? And our fights aren’t worth my death. Unless…”
Ye Leng’an’s eyes sharpened. “You got my lanugo and locked me up. Planning some evil arts?”
Ye Yikun blinked, smile gone, replaced by a bit of nastiness. “Impressive, you figured out a lot!”
“So, my guess is right.” Ye Leng’an lounged, smiling lazily. “You’re the one using evil arts, aren’t you?”
After seeing Ye Wanwan’s fast growth, she and Huangfu Ruiling guessed this.
Normally, one’s cultivation couldn’t rise so fast. And Ye Wanwan recovered quickly after her cultivation was crippled. Later, she got hurt at a banquet. Soon, she healed completely and her power surged.
That was unrealistic.
They thought of the evil cultivator they couldn’t find. They never thought it was Ye Wanwan. After all, she was too young. When the evil cultivator first appeared, Ye Wanwan wasn’t even around!
So, they shifted their attention to other Ye family members.
“Ye Leng’an, you are clever.” Ye Yikun clapped. “But even if you guessed, no one will know since you are going to die very soon here.”
“Really?” Ye Leng’an stayed calm. “But, if I die, Huangfu Ruiling will suspect you. And he will seek revenge.”
“Who cares?” Ye Yikun laughed madly. “Remember when you wondered why I didn’t just kill you? Here’s why. My power’s peaking, but my life’s ending. Sacrificing you extends it.”
“So, you’re using evil arts to achieve that goal.” Ye Leng’an stayed cool. “Guess I’m your chosen sacrifice.”
“Exactly.” Ye Yikun nodded. “I wanted to use someone related to me by blood. I had originally chosen Ye Wanwan. But it turned out she wasn’t of our bloodline. Later, I realized you were the better choice. After using the reversal technique, I’ll have your life and power. Do you think I will fear Huangfu Ruiling?”
Ye Leng’an wasn’t bothered. “So, when’s the kill?”
“Coming soon.” Ye Yikun grinned madly. “Don’t blame me. You came to me.”
If Ye Leng’an hadn’t exposed Ye Wanwan, he wouldn’t have picked Ye Leng’an.
But Ye Leng’an was indeed perfect in all aspects.
He’d be young again, powerful. No one could stop him.
“Even if I hadn’t come to you, you would have found out eventually.” Ye Lengan looked at Ye Yikun with a faint smile. “But you really hid it well. And I think the reason you’re still alive is because you used evil arts to cultivate.”
“So what?” Ye Yikun shrugged. “They were just ordinary people. It’s their honor to be used by me. And I didn’t force them. They were willing to do it.”
“You’re good at shifting blame!” Ye Lengan’s expression showed disdain. “You are really a hypocrite.”
