Chapter 1444 - 1444 1430 Fools Have Their Own Luck
Chapter 1444: Chapter 1430: Fools Have Their Own Luck Chapter 1444: Chapter 1430: Fools Have Their Own Luck The people from the Thirty-Six Islands went to deal with Baili He and others, Hu Nanyue and his group originally planned to deal with Ren Haotian, but they lost their way amidst the chaos caused by the Evil Spirit.
Guo Yuqing was trapped at the entrance of a cave. Although she could move, someone stood guard at the entrance, not allowing her to escape, which made her the perfect hostage for Ren Haotian.
Ren Haotian came in with food, and with a touch of self-reproach, he said, “I had no other choice, I had to take you as a hostage. I need to protect my people below; without a hostage, we are all afraid.” He placed a plate of food beside her.
“Will you kill me?” Qing’er asked.
“Su Zhan Ze killed my father,” Ren Haotian spoke, “by rights, I should kill you too, to make him suffer in grief.”
“I have long severed any ties with him.”
Ren Haotian had of course heard about it, how Qing’er had rejected Su Zhan Ze’s attempts at reconciliation. He knew that the boy inside Qing’er’s heart was Ye Chen, from the time they were kids. He knew that Su Zhan Ze’s affection for Qing’er was unrequited. With a slight smile, he said, “Of course, I know. You have never loved that masked man. You married Su Zhan Ze because you thought Ye Chen was dead. It was to facilitate an alliance between the Demon Palace and Immortal City, never your own choice. That guy is not worthy of you.”
“Right, so why capture me?”
“But he only has you. As long as you are in my hands, he won’t dare to make a move recklessly. If I truly killed you, it would indeed cause him pain,” he said.
“Ha, that guy only cares about himself. He wouldn’t feel any pain over my death,” Guo Yuqing scoffed coldly.
“It’s frustrating, isn’t it? To end up with such an outcome, letting him pick up a lucky break. It’s absurd that both Longhun and Ye Chen have been outwitted by him. The heavens really are blind,” Ren Haotian’s heart was filled with unwillingness, yet the tide had turned and it was Su Zhan Ze who had emerged victorious. He chuckled, “Your beloved, he’s quite the genius. How could he have ended up in such a plight?”
Those words made Guo Yuqing choke up. She said, “If you want to deal with Su Zhan Ze, if you want to kill him, I will definitely cooperate with you.”
Ren Haotian looked at her excitedly, knowing she hated Su Zhan Ze. He chuckled, “I should probably call you ‘sister’. We have no feud between us; it is only with Su Zhan Ze that I have enmity. I wouldn’t have taken you if it wasn’t for the need to protect my men.”
Guo Yuqing showed her understanding and asked, “Do you dare?”
Ren Haotian truly found the girl opposite him very endearing, and said, admiring her, “What’s there not to dare? With my current strength, I’m no match for Su Zhan Ze, but I want revenge at any cost. Su Zhan Ze deserves death; he’s a scourge who killed my father. Yes, and there’s your beloved too. I guess he’s gone mad with obsession. You love him so deeply; you should get revenge for him. It’s safe to say, we share the same path.”
Qing’er started eating the food without any fear of poison.
“Actually, that’s a brilliant plan. Using you to lure Su Zhan Ze here, then find a way to kill him. It seems to be the only method now, or else I’ll never have my revenge in this lifetime. This appears to be my only chance. I should gamble on it,” Ren Haotian said.
Qing’er, knowing what Su Zhan Ze had done, felt like her heart was being carved out with a knife. She hated that executioner. He must have done that because of her. With Ye Chen’s fate unknown, she felt guilt-ridden. Now, all she wanted was revenge.
Ren Haotian knew Qing’er wasn’t a callous person. Her willingness to work together against Su Zhan Ze meant her hatred for the man was bone-deep, otherwise, she would not have made such a suggestion.
Suddenly, memories of long ago flooded back as he mused, “How did we get from friendship to where we are today?”
Qing’er looked over to him.
With a cold laugh, Ren Haotian said, “To be honest, ever since we were kids, I never thought much of you and the masked one. I always knew the masked one would never grow up. As expected, he remained childish. Regarding the one who’s gone mad, to speak from the heart, I didn’t like him, but I had a lot of respect for him. He always dealt with things openly and helped the Immortal and Demon realms overcome danger after danger. Yet, it seems good people are doomed to bad ends, while the wicked never get their comeuppance. Why hasn’t lightning struck down Su Zhan Ze, that demon? He’s committed countless foul deeds. In this great battle, he even became the sole winner. If the heavens were just, how could they let things turn out this way?”
These words struck a chord with Qing’er.
Shaking his head, Ren Haotian added, “You’ve had it tough, married to such a creature, with such intense jealousy, never reflecting on his own faults. How could you possibly have a good life with him? You should have left him long ago, even becoming a nun would be better than spending your days with a person like that.”
“If you knew all this, then why didn’t you stop us back then?” she asked.
Ren Haotian laughed, “Right, as a friend, I should act accordingly. Who would have thought Su Zhanze would become what he is today, such a grand demon. People with low self-esteem often harbor strong pride. Even you want to kill him, what face does he have left to face the world? This is his greatest tragedy.”
Qing’er’s mind was filled with thoughts of Ye Chen and her own sister. Would Ye Chen truly be able to turn danger into safety? He didn’t dare to think further. If Ye Chen were to lose his mind and turn into a werewolf, how would Yun’er bear it? His situation was already dire. Why wouldn’t that guy let him go, even going so far as to strike him with demonic energy, clearly hoping he would deviate from his path?
Why must he insist on doing this? The only answer could be her. It was because of her departure and rejection that he hated Ye Chen and ultimately took such action.
Ren Haotian shook his head and chuckled again, “Good people really don’t end up well, do they? Ye Chen probably never dreamed of it. He didn’t provoke you, and everything seemed unrelated to him. But that’s not what matters in this situation. What matters is what the masked man thinks. If he deemed someone an obstacle, then they were. How strong must one’s jealousy be, and to what extent must one be inferior, to do such a thing?”
Qing’er remained silent, continuing to eat.
“Rest assured, as long as I confirm that the people below us are safe, I won’t kill you, though I really want to. Because I know that guy likes you, and if I killed you, he would definitely be in deep pain, which would bring me some joy. However, you are indeed innocent, and I might be hateful, but my actions are driven by revenge and I would never stoop to Su Zhanze’s level, much less harm an innocent person. Besides, you are no longer associated with her, and you hate him that much.”
Qing’er asked, “Have you considered joining forces to seek revenge?”
“Honestly, I’ve entertained the idea, wanting to gamble once. But I may not be able to win against Su Zhanze. He is ruthless and unscrupulous. I might not be his match.”
Qing’er said, “You’re giving up so easily?”
“I shouldn’t drag you into this. If you really want to seek revenge on him, I can teach you a method that is guaranteed to succeed and won’t fail. But I think you can’t do it.”
Qing’er looked at Ren Haotian. She knew it wasn’t easy for him. Yes, it was wrong of him to side with the Dragon Slaying Clan against Immortal City, but he was also forced into a corner, seeking vengeance. His father was wrongly accused, and jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear his name. No one helped them, and everyone pursued and killed the father and son, not believing their words. He barely escaped with his life, and like him, she would have tried any means to find an ally and seek an opportunity for revenge. It was just that he had lost his way.
“What method?” Qing’er asked.
Ren Haotian replied, “Pretend to have a change of heart and poison him directly. You don’t need anyone’s help. I believe you can find the opportunity, as long as your heart is ruthless enough. But then again, I know you’re not that kind of person. You can’t do something like that.”
Qing’er looked at Ren Haotian.
Ren Haotian continued, “You’ve backed down, haven’t you? If you really want to seek revenge, this plan would definitely succeed, and I wouldn’t need to take a risk. You could poison him all by yourself. You can’t do it, can you!”
Qing’er kept drinking water.
“We were childhood playmates, and to end up like this… it’s just Yuan Jingxing left. That guy is indeed a lucky fool. Without much ambition, he has no significant status in Immortal City, yet he married a good wife, a beautiful one at that. While we’re in such a state, he seems to be unaffected by it all. Honestly, I’m quite envious of him. His life is so simple, yet he spends it with the person he loves, side by side for a lifetime.”
“Don’t you hate him for not letting you and your dad into the city?” Qing’er asked curiously.
“Yes, we were pursued and almost made it to the gates of Immortal City when he didn’t offer us refuge. I did really hate him then. But later, I understood. I couldn’t blame him. In that situation, everyone believed that what happened with Fang Ziren was down to my dad and me. Even when we told the truth, the situation was already in Su Zhanze’s control. He was the leader, after all. What could he have done? So I don’t hold it against him.” Ren Haotian let out a sigh, deflated.
“If you survive this, what do you plan to do? Continue seeking revenge?”
After thinking for a moment, Ren Haotian responded, “The Sacred Spirit Stone and the Dragon Slayer Sword have both returned to Su Zhanze’s hands. What do I have to seek revenge with? It seems likely that even Longhun is doomed this time. I am not his match. It looks like I won’t have my revenge after all; going after him would be akin to seeking death.
Su Zhanze may have won, but in my eyes, he has lost. He wanted to be seen as a great benevolent person, to establish his prestige, hoping to be like his father. But I have exposed his false facade. The matter concerning my father and Fang Ziren should not raise anyone’s suspicions anymore. His reputation has been damaged, and even though he hasn’t been physically ruined, it’s enough.
Even if he commands the elements and unifies the Demon Domain in the future, no one will truly serve him willingly. With his character and notoriety, how could anyone truly respect him? He will become an incredibly lonely person, never able to inspire the genuine admiration and loyalty his father did.
The most amusing part is that the person he believes he loves deeply and wants to treat well for a lifetime, he came to me to discuss how to kill. What a farce it is for him to face the world now.”
