Chapter 415: Chapter 417 Shen Xiaoxiao Visits

Chapter Four Hundred and Seventeen

"Definitely... it’s true!"

It took a while before Jin Dongming could speak, his voice trembling.

"Young Master Jin truly left the city."

The wooden-faced man looked at Xiao Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly, "Moreover, Mr. Jin has also moved out of G City."

"Tell Jin Xiaohan that it’s fine he has left, I do not wish for him to come back."

Xiao Yi’s gaze indifferently swept over the wooden-faced man before finally settling back on Jin Dongming, speaking faintly.

He didn’t particularly care about whether Jin Dongming moved out of G City, nor was he interested in paying attention to it, but he indeed did not want Jin Xiaohan to return.

"Yes... Yes, I will definitely relay the message."

Although Xiao Yi spoke very calmly and didn’t utter a single threatening word, Jin Dongming’s heart trembled again, and he quickly nodded his head like a pecking chicken.

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t relay the message, but if I find him in G City again, particularly if he dares to harbor any inappropriate intentions, even if... when the time comes, even if you flee to the far corners of the world, I will always have a way to teach him the consequences of disobedience."

Xiao Yi said faintly, too indifferent to look any longer at Jin Dongming’s pathetic state. He said no more and turned towards the window. He seemed to drift rather than walk, because both Jin Dongming and the wooden-faced man only saw Xiao Yi’s figure lightly gliding as if he had teleported, disappearing through the window.

The entire room was empty in a moment, Xiao Yi’s trace completely vanished without even a hint of a scent.

If... if it weren’t for their confidence in their own senses, feeling that it was improbable for them to daydream or hallucinate, and the expression of the other person in the next room remained vivid, both Jin Dongming and the wooden-faced man would almost doubt whether someone had been there at all.

This person is too terrifying!

It took a while before the wooden-faced man came back to his senses, looking at the air in the almost completely traceless room, and across at Jin Dongming whose face still bore marks of fear.

This was certainly the most terrifying person he had ever encountered!

In nearly an instant, his heart acknowledged this reality which he was reluctant to accept but had to; this person was even more formidable and terrifying than his military instructors back in the army.

If last time he felt that Xiao Yi had somewhat benefitted from the element of surprise, thinking that it wouldn’t have been so easy to bring him down otherwise, now, he only felt immense relief that the other party had no malice. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have even had a chance to draw a gun—both he and Jin Dongming could have just vanished from this world.

After a deep sigh, the wooden-faced man turned his head, looked at Jin Dongming and reminded quietly, "Mr. Jin, he’s gone."

"Gone..."

Hearing the wooden-faced man’s words, Jin Dongming finally came back to his senses, his eyes wide with fearful urgency as he trembled, "Get ready immediately, we’re leaving tomorrow, we’re leaving this place tomorrow."

Even though this time Xiao Yi harbored no great malice towards him, and he didn’t feel the fear of that terrible Needle Technique again, this did not alleviate the fear in his heart; indeed, it was even worse than last time.

Xiao Yi had actually come looking for him yet again.

Moreover, he could unmistakably sense the murderous intent Xiao Yi harbored towards his son.

Jin Dongming couldn’t help but secretly feel relieved, thankful that his son had already left.

At this moment, he hesitated no longer; any last traces of attachment he had for the villa he had lived in for many years completely vanished. He now only wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible, to thoroughly escape its shadows.

Furthermore, he secretly decided that the next time his son called, he would emphasize that before his son had mastered the skills, he must not return to G City. It would be better if he never returned, even after mastering the skills; perhaps starting anew in another city would be better!

This Xiao Yi was simply too terrifying; he did not want his son to risk even a slight mishap...

The wooden-faced man, hearing Jin Dongming’s words, was slightly shocked. Leaving tomorrow? Everything was still unprepared, and since all was already arranged, it would only take three or four days to proceed as planned—why the rush? Yet seeing the genuine fear in his eyes, and glancing once more at the window where no trace could be seen, he sighed deeply and said nothing more.

Facing such a terrifying person, perhaps it was indeed better to leave sooner and get farther away...

.........

Jin Xiaohan actually left this city—was it because he was scared off by Liu Sandao, or was there some other reason?

However, whatever the reason, his sudden departure means that his life is spared for now.

But I hope he’ll stay low and honest, otherwise... I will make sure your life is worse than death!

Having left the Jin Family villa, Xiao Yi’s lips curved into a cold smirk.

No matter what, he believed that Jin Dongming and his bodyguard should definitely offer Jin Xiaohan some advice, and he trusted that he wouldn’t likely be coming back anytime soon.

Even if Jin Dongming couldn’t recognize the quality, the bodyguard should have sensed his strength.

When he had left just then, he had intentionally displayed that so-called drifting-like movement, intimidating them a bit.

That kind of nearly instantaneous movement, in his view, was quite meaningless and impractical. It was an action that greatly consumed cultivation power but did not achieve much effect. The only advantage was that it was subtle, useful occasionally for a surprise attack, but completely ineffective if the opponent’s strength was comparable.

However, today he had nothing else to do, so he simply played a bit, and he believed that such a move should have a good effect in intimidating them.

Back at Azure Waterfront, Xiao Yi quickly took a cold shower, leisurely lying on the bed, and couldn’t help but recall the time he had spent this afternoon at the Wang family’s house, thinking about the high school and elementary school stories Wang Xiaohu had told him, and the games they played together...

A faint smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

It took a while before he snapped out of those sweet recollections, gathered his thoughts, shook his hair, and sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to begin his cultivation practice.

But just as he was about to start cultivating, the villa’s bell began to ring insistently.

Who could it be at this late hour?

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but pause, wondering why the bodyguard hadn’t come up to alert him.

After yesterday’s events, although the bodyguard was now aware of Xiao Yi’s formidable strength, Xiao Yi had still instructed him to keep watch around the villa, focusing more, however, on the house next door to Shen Xiaoxiao’s.

Without time to think it through any further, he heard the bell ring again and immediately headed downstairs.

"Xiaoxiao?"

When he opened the villa’s main door and saw the bare-faced yet still breathtakingly charming face standing at the doorstep, his face immediately showed a hint of surprise.

It was indeed Shen Xiaoxiao, who lived just across from him.

Seeing clearly that it was Shen Xiaoxiao, he finally understood why the bodyguard hadn’t notified him in advance. If it had been someone else, the bodyguard would naturally have informed him. But Shen Xiaoxiao was obviously not considered just "someone else" by that bodyguard.

But in just a fleeting moment, when he saw the frost-like expression on Shen Xiaoxiao’s face, the surprise on his face immediately vanished, and his expression became somewhat awkward.

At the same time, his head began to tingle.

Almost instantly, he guessed that Shen Xiaoxiao’s anger stemmed from something.

"Um, Xiaoxiao, I... was about to leave yesterday, but then... something happened, so I got delayed," he said.

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao still didn’t speak or even step inside, merely standing at the doorway with an unfriendly expression staring intently at him, Xiao Yi’s heart suddenly grew even more uneasy.

It was only after feeling as if his back was starting to soak from her gaze that he could no longer bear it, cleared his throat, and surrendered voluntarily.

"Not bad, Yi."

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the embarrassed Xiao Yi, her lips curling into a half-smiling, half-mocking expression, "You can feel fear and guilt too? Is there anything in this world that scares you?"

"Err..."

Seeing the look on Shen Xiaoxiao’s face and listening to her unmistakably mocking tone, Xiao Yi’s expression grew even more awkward, and internally, his disquiet increased.

"I thought you were daring enough to disregard everything, even your life, for your little beauty," Xiaoxiao continued, her lips twisting into a cold smirk in a mocking tone.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yi looked puzzled for a moment. He suddenly felt that Shen Xiaoxiao’s words might have deeper implications, not just about him ignoring her advice and deceiving her yesterday.

Yet, in the moment, he was unable to grasp what exactly her comment meant.
