Chapter 51 Guarding Against Li Tianyao
If he truly sparred with so many animals, how could he not be injured? An Yan wondered. Could he have rabies? I’ve heard that this disease has an incubation period of up to ten years or longer. In my view, Li Tianyao must have some sort of illness. How else could a normal person have such intense control issues?
Li Tianyao allowed her to feel his pulse without any change in expression. "Are you very afraid that I might be sick?"
As An Yan carefully monitored the throbbing of his pulse, she nodded. "You are my fiancé, and I hope to understand you better! After all, knowing both yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle," she thought.
A glint appeared in Li Tianyao’s eyes, his interest piqued. "What else do you want to know? Ask."
"Why do you spar with animals?" An Yan asked. "Surely there’s no lack of skilled people in the Li Family to spar with you?"
"If you can’t even defeat animals, there’s no... after that."
If one can’t even defeat animals, they would simply perish in the animals’ maws, and naturally, there would be no ’after that,’ Li Tianyao thought, modifying his words. He feared the original statement might scare the young girl. After all, the world has changed. Now, there’s a general consensus that human life is more valuable than anything else!
An Yan was stunned. She didn’t understand this logic, but instinctively felt something was off. "How old were you then?"
"Three, or maybe five. I don’t remember."
An Yan looked at him in shock. Throwing a child to kill dogs, and only after completing the task could he spar with people? No, that wasn’t right. He said he had killed many dogs, so was he thrown into a pack of dogs? At three, even if he was five at the time, he was still just a child! What kind of twisted training method is this?
"The person who did this to you, are they... alright now?" An Yan asked, though she suddenly felt the urge to give them a piece of her mind.
