Chapter 74 - Orphan

"It's very simple. I don't like you."

Andy's pupils constricted as he locked his gaze on Lu Yong.

Lu Yong's heart thumped; it hadn't been long since the Lin Clan had been wiped out, and the reason was right in front of him.

Even though he was young, the man's background was terrifying. He couldn't figure out when he'd provoked the Devil.

His lips trembled slightly, and his voice cracked. "Why?"

Andy said nothing, his gaze was fixed on the man in front of him. But Lu Yong's heart thumped faster when he noticed those blue eyes staring at me.

But confusion filled his heart as he saw many complicated emotions in those eyes.

"Let me tell you a story." However, Lu Yong's body trembled when he heard a clear, deep voice.

Andy turned around, his eyes seemed lost as he stared at the sky.

"I'm not sure who my parents were. Maybe they left me for a reason. But I didn't blame them. When I came to my senses, I was already an orphan, a mortal who struggled every day to survive."

Everyone's ears perked up when they heard those words. Many of them were shocked, and most of them felt sympathy when they learned that this terrifying young man was an orphan.

"But I'd be lying if I said I felt nothing when I saw so many young kids with their parents. I was envious, envious that those kids had someone who cared about them. But I was completely alone."

Andy's face broke into a helpless smile as he reflected on his past. "But I've always thought that your parents will always be there for you when you need them. Even a beast would look after his cub."

Su Xin's heart trembled as her eyes locked on Andy, and a tear formed at the corner of her eyes as she saw that lonely figure standing at a distance.

"But as I grew up, I realized how cruel the world was. I had seen those cultivators slaughtering mortals as if they were reaping the harvest. They didn't care whether any mortal lived or die. I have seen a happy family being brutally killed by a cultivator, simply because he wanted to enjoy the torture. I felt helpless, I wanted to do something. Maybe heaven pitied me as I stumbled upon the opportunity to cultivate. As I began to cultivate, I entered a new world."

"A cruel world, cruel to even their own blood. In that world, mortals are merely ants in their eyes. If one's own child cannot cultivate, they will even go so far as to kill their child. Since it is a disgrace to their blood."

"From that day on, I understood the other side of the world."

"You know, I hated that. Is your power so important that you would even abandon your own child who couldn't cultivate? I wanted to change it. If I had the power, I would have changed the world's order. There would be no difference between a mortal and a cultivator."

"But I was helpless, and I lacked the power to do anything."

Meanwhile, an image of his dead son flashed before Lu Yong's eyes, causing his heart to pound faster. He now understood why this young man hated him.

His heart ached as a sense of shame welled up in his heart.

But suddenly someone shouted, "You are a hypocrite. How could you change the order of this world? How could those ants be compared to us?"

Andy's pupil constricted as his gaze drew towards the source of the voice.

A young man dressed in a Divine Flame Sect's spotless white uniform, his black hair tied back, held a feather fan in his hand.

"This fool," The Elder of Divine Flame muttered as he prepared to save that young man. His heart trembled as he knew this young man's background. He was the illegitimate son of the Supreme Elder of one of the most powerful clans on the Phoenix Continent. The elder wanted to hide his son, which is why he sent him to the Black Dragon Continent. This man eventually became a disciple of the Divine Flame Sect.

"Do you have a problem?" Andy's voice echoed as he vanished and reappeared in front of that young man.

The Young Man's eyes narrowed, but he stood tall, his gaze fixed on Andy, who had just appeared before him.

Andy's eyes flashed as he noticed the young man in front of him, who did not appear surprised.

He gave a slight nod. "So, do you have a problem with me?"

The young man sneered, "Who do you think you are to change the world's order? I know you came from the higher world. But if anyone in that world found out what you were thinking, they would kill you."

Andy's brows were raised. "What's your name?"

"Fang Jingshan," the man said proudly.

Fang Jingshan? Andy's pupil constricted when he heard this name. He remembered a character in the book named Fang Jingshan. Fang Yan's cousin and the illegitimate son of the Supreme Elder of Fang Clan.

Fang Yan later met this Fang Jingshan in one of the ruins and discovered that he was related to the Fang Clan of the Phoenix Continent. The destiny of this man was to reunite Fang Yan with his family.

Andy's lips curled up. "Fang Jingshan? That is a very interesting name. Are you related to the Fang clan of the Phoenix Continent?"

Fang Jingshan's heart skipped a beat. Aside from a few elders and the Head of the Divine Flame Sect. No one knew who he was. His father had him sent to the Black Dragon Continent so that no one would find out about him. Otherwise, his father's position as a Supreme Elder would be lost.

He shook his head, "Which Fang Clan? I know nothing about the Fang Clan."

Andy gave a slight nod. "In any case, what do you think will happen if I kill you? The cultivator, according to you, has every right to kill the ant. You are nothing more than an ant who has just entered the Core Formation realm. Do you think someone will come to avenge you?"

Fang Jingshan's eyes were filled with fear as he cursed his Damn Mouth. He even cursed his father for not sending anyone to protect him. He thought that he would live comfortably until he was strong enough to return to the Phoenix Continent.

But before he could say anything, a flash of light blinded his eyes as he heard the last words of his life.

"Now that you're an ant. Isn't it natural for an ant to die?"
