Chapter 234 - 220: The White Emperor Sets Life and Death Riddles in Secret
Xie Lian clenched his fists, his breathing going erratic.
A phrase. It sounded so unbelievable, laughable even, but he couldn't laugh at all.
Guoshi said, "There's more besides those monsters. Your Highness, do you remember that child you saved at the bottom of the city walls and how I was so shocked after you brought him up to the Royal Holy Pavilion?"
"..."
Xie Lian instantly snapped back and swiftly stole a glimpse at Hua Cheng, "I remember. What's with that child? You said he was..."
"A Star of Solitude!" Guoshi exclaimed.
He said darkly, "At the time, I only felt that small child was covered too heavily with the essence of evil, too incredibly abnormal. It was only after I've confronted the other three at the Kiln before I learned that not only could the Kiln produce monsters, it could also curse. Just as you could disperse your fortune, the Kiln could also dispel the misfortunes it's accumulated, and after they've been released they would rampage everywhere."
"That small child's birth was already extremely perilous; if his fate was fortunate then it'd be the best of fortunes; if it was vicious it would be the worst of misfortunes. The day he was born, he probably absorbed all the dispelled misfortunes, which was how he became so terrifying. The moment he came up the entire Mount TaiCang was almost burnt to the ground by him!"
The more Xie Lian listened the more alarmed he became, and he slowly turned his head, gazing towards Hua Cheng. They were clearly discussing his own affairs, but Hua Cheng's expression didn't change, but instead gave Xie Lian a smile.
Guoshi continued, "Based on normal circumstances, the parents of that child must die early, and if they don't, then they would be disgusted with or abandon that child. He would suffer endless abuse, so it'd actually be better if his parents are dead. And, he wouldn't live past eighteen, and would also cause those around him to die, to separate, to suffer misfortunes, as if Disaster itself was reborn. That's why at the time I told you to quickly get rid of him, not to get close..."
Xie Lian couldn't listen anymore, "Master! ...Please don't say anymore."
