Chapter 924 - Treasure Institution
An invisible pressure radiated from Elder Madman that crashed down on Han Feizi.
This left Liu Wuxie baffled. Elder Madman said he had no idea what the mission was exactly.
"Heaven's will is hard to predict. The Han Clan has paid a heavy price, and I don't want the younger generation to follow the older generation's path," Han Feizi replied with a wry smile. This was also why he had chosen to flee from his clan. He didn't want to live solely for others as his father did.
"This is your Han Clan's fate, and no one can change it. It's already out of your control from the moment you chose to stay by his side," Elder Madman said, pointing at Liu Wuxie.
This left Liu Wuxie even more baffled. He didn't know what this had to do with him.
Han Feizi didn't refute Elder Madman's statement, as he had his reasons for staying with Liu Wuxie. Perhaps only Han Long and Elder Madman knew why, while Liu Wuxie remained in the dark.
Since Han Feizi didn't offer any explanation, Liu Wuxie assumed he had his reasons. Besides, he could sense that Han Feizi wasn't acting out of malice—rather, it seemed he had no choice. If Han Feizi truly meant harm, he wouldn't have announced himself so openly. He could've simply followed Liu Wuxie in secret.
"Thank you for your guidance," Han Feizi replied with a wry smile. Though he hated to admit it, Elder Madman had seen through him entirely.
"I won't interfere in matters between you youngsters. As you said, heaven's will is unpredictable, so let things take their course," Elder Madman said. This was the same as stating that he wouldn't interfere with what they did on the Heavenly Gate Peak.
Once he was done speaking, he left and returned to his thatched hut, leaving Han Feizi drenched in sweat.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the carefree smile faded from Han Feizi's face, replaced by an uncharacteristically heavy expression.
