Chen Tao took a moment to catch his breath, pressing his hand against his heart in pain as he struggled to rise. His eyes, filled with defiance, were fixed on the calm figure of the Second Prince, who was leisurely sipping tea.
A cough escaped him, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Chen Tao forced himself to swallow it back down. Bai Yu Men, what enmity do you have with the Second Prince? Why must you strike us down so ruthlessly?
Xu Lie's kick was powerful and swift as lightning, delivering a heavy blow to Chen Tao. No matter how formidable Cang Hai Jue's Zhen Qi was, it couldn't heal him quickly enough. He could barely speak; every word he uttered was laced with a sickly weakness.
He seemed somewhat naive—this was Xu Lie's assessment. The current protagonist of Cang Hai Jue, Chen Tao had not yet experienced the trials of the martial world and had been brought here by Xu Lie's men. His demeanor still reflected the innocence of a newcomer to the Jianghu, showing no signs of the hardships that would come with growth.
Xu Lie took a sip of tea and casually set the celadon cup down on the table. "I’ve never even heard of Bai Yu Men," he said, "let alone ordered their extermination."
Chen Tao's expression softened. Could it be that Elder Li's dying words were mistaken? Was the incident involving Bai Yu Men not orchestrated by the Second Prince? Was it merely a misunderstanding?
Unfortunately, Chen Tao relaxed too soon. Xu Lie's next words struck like a dagger to his heart: "Later, when you appeared, I inquired further. It turns out one of my subordinates acted on my orders to recruit Bai Yu Men but was rejected and treated with disrespect."
"Perhaps in an attempt to win my favor or out of loyalty—unable to tolerate disrespect towards me—this subordinate took matters into his own hands, mobilizing men and weapons to eliminate Bai Yu Men."
"This reckless act could tarnish my reputation; it might also leave behind someone like you, who could grow into an endless threat if left unchecked. Thus, I punished him."
"Do you understand? That subordinate worked diligently for me and managed to recruit over a hundred martial artists despite being rejected multiple times by others in the martial world. He had never resorted to lethal force before, proving that his words were not empty. After punishing him, I also granted him some rewards."
"In the end, one can only blame Bai Yu Men for their own downfall due to their careless words."
"You can also place this blame on me if you wish."
The audience was clearly captivated by the newly introduced character of the Second Prince, as waves of comments flooded in.
"I’m crying! Damn it! This reminds me of today at work when my boss made a wrong decision and threw me under the bus. I wish I had a boss like this who would take responsibility for their subordinates."
"Ah? No matter what, this is still villainous, right? This is a massacre, something that can't be washed clean."
"I wonder what kind of skills the Second Prince is practicing; with one kick, he crippled the protagonist."
"That guy, the Second Prince, is ruthless. He even knows to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Because his subordinates didn't carry out the massacre thoroughly, he punished them."
Hearing Xu Lie's words, Chen Tao, still recovering from his injuries and gasping for breath, showed a significant change in expression. His previously defiant and stubborn gaze softened.
After listening to everything, anger surged within him.
Chen Tao's emotions were like eating hot pot in winter, with the tripe in his chopsticks going up and down—now hot, now cold!
A reward? Cough! Chen Tao gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, as if he was ready to risk it all: "A reward without any reason?!"
It's just one side of the story! What if, what if—cough! What if the manager is lying? Bai Yu Men isn't cursing you; it's simply cursing him!
