Chapter 373: Chapter 372 Worthless Kindness

"Master Ye Xuan..." Tong Shishi hesitated to speak.

"You go inside first," Ye Xuan said.

Tong Shishi looked at the three people kneeling on the ground, opened her mouth, and seemed to want to say something else.

"They are not worthy to step over the threshold of my Ye Family," Ye Xuan said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Tong Shishi could only sigh, but she had to complete the task assigned by her sect. However, now she couldn’t just abandon Liu Zixing and the others, so she said, "Shishi will stay here and watch them."

Ye Xuan glanced at Tong Shishi and said, "As you wish."

Tong Shishi’s heart trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, lost in thought.

The three kneeling figures, meanwhile, were in a state of panic, sweat continuously beading on their foreheads.

In their anxious wait, they heard footsteps but dared not lift their heads.

"Xuan, what’s happening?" Ye Hongli, accompanied by Ye Ling’er, approached with some confusion.

In recent days, the old man’s smile had grown thicker day by day, finally able to lay down the heavy burden he had carried for so long.

Hearing Ye Ling’er’s message, he had rushed over immediately, thinking something major had occurred.

When he saw the three people kneeling on the ground, he was slightly stunned.

"Grandfather, do you still remember that man?" Ye Xuan pointed towards the Hall Master at the back.

The old man followed Ye Xuan’s gesture and saw the Hall Master.

However, the Hall Master was bowing his head, his face not visible.

"Raise your head," Ye Xuan’s voice boomed like thunder, as if Divine Thunder had struck.

As if compelled by a ghostly force, the Hall Master lifted his head, his face now covered in cold sweat as he said in terror, "Elder Ye, I wronged you in the past. Please, as a great man, forget my foolish mistakes and spare me!"

While speaking, the Hall Master began to slap his own face.

Each slap was heavy, as if he feared not striking himself hard enough.

After two slaps, both sides of his face were already swollen and red.

"It’s you?!" The old man’s expression darkened immediately upon seeing the Hall Master.

He had always remembered that incident in his heart.

He constantly wanted vengeance, but what burdened him even more was his inability to heal Ye Xuan.

Now, seeing the Hall Master again, the old memories resurfaced in the old man’s mind as he stared at the Hall Master and said in a deep voice, "I will remember that incident for the rest of my life!"

This made the Hall Master even more panicked, slapping himself even harder and muttering unclearly, "Elder Ye, I was wrong. Punish me, but please don’t kill me!"

"Master Ye Xuan..." Tong Shishi found it hard to bear.

But Ye Xuan did not pay any attention to Tong Shishi; instead, he walked straight towards the Hall Master, looking down at him indifferently, "Did you ever think of today when you were toying with me and my grandfather?"

If the Flowing Fire Divine Mountain had simply refused back then, Ye Xuan would have thought nothing of it.

To help is a favor; not to help is their right.

But after welcoming them, this Hall Master repeatedly humiliated and toyed with them, never treating the grandfather and grandson as humans.

That was why Ye Xuan had always remembered.

Especially since his grandfather was hurt, Ye Xuan would absolutely not let this Hall Master off the hook.

"Young Master Ye, I know I was wrong!" The Hall Master kowtowed frantically, banging his head like pounding garlic.

"You know you’re wrong? Then take your own life," Ye Xuan said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Hall Master became even more frantic, "Young Master Ye..."

Boom————

But in the next moment, the Hall Master suddenly burst forth, soaring into the sky.

This Hall Master, knowing he was certain to die, attempted to escape!

This sudden action caught everyone off guard.

"Trying to run?" Ye Xuan’s right hand shot out, turning pitch black at a rapid pace.

War Demon’s Heaven Suppressing Hand!

Boom!

In the sky above, a colossal dark hand suddenly descended.

The Hall Master, who was initially soaring upwards, was abruptly grasped by the large hand.

"Ah————"

"I don’t want to die!"

The Hall Master screamed in agony.

Thump!

Then, Ye Xuan simply crushed him to death!

Many cultivators in Wan’an City, upon seeing this scene, fell silent like cicadas in winter.

The Ye Family’s Ye Xuan is indeed a True Dragon!

He is not someone to be trifled with!

Seeing the Hall Master killed by Ye Xuan, Elder Ye Hongli finally released a sigh of satisfaction, the knot in his heart dissolving away.

Liu Zixing and Zhang Longshan, still kneeling on the ground, trembled and bowed even lower.

"Master Ye Xuan, you..., killed him?" Tong Shishi was stunned, disbelievingly looking at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan paid her no heed.

"Why did you have to kill him? Although he was guilty, it wasn’t a crime punishable by death, was it?" Tong Shishi kept questioning.

"Even though you are the famous Ye Xuan, that doesn’t give you the reason to kill people at will."

Tong Shishi’s face was pale as she pressed Ye Xuan for answers.

Her questioning made Liu Zixing and Zhang Longshan, who knelt on the ground, tremble with fear.

That was Ye Xuan,

whose name resonated throughout the Southern Domain!

By questioning him, wasn’t she seeking death?!

Ye Xuan, however, didn’t get angry but looked at Tong Shishi and said with an indifferent smile, "Did you witness what happened back then?"

Tong Shishi’s face was pale, but she stood her ground, looking into Ye Xuan’s eyes, "I don’t know, but indiscriminate killing is wrong!"

Ye Xuan gave a slight smile and slowly uttered, "You don’t even know what happened back then, and here you are accusing me of indiscriminate killing? Young lady, were you raised on naivety?"

Tong Shishi still refused to back down.

The smile on Ye Xuan’s face faded, becoming aloof; his gaze deep and serene as he spoke, "Back then, he humiliated my grandfather in every possible way and nearly killed him without any reason."

"So, what right do you have to accuse me of indiscriminate killing?"

"Just because you have what you call a kind heart?"

Bang!

After finishing, Ye Xuan waved his hand grandly.

The kneeling Liu Zixing and Zhang Longshan were instantly thrown out, smashing into a distant wall, spewing blood, and staggering to the ground.

But Ye Xuan did not take their lives.

"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your mercy." Both were grateful and did not dare show any disrespect.

"Get lost."

Ye Xuan put his right hand back in his pocket and turned to head back to the Ye Family.

Tong Shishi stood there stunned until Ye Xuan and his company had all left, then she came back to her senses, her complexion pale to the extreme.

As if her soul had left her.

Ye Xuan turned around and went home, not paying any attention to Tong Shishi.

To him, Tong Shishi was just a passerby.

He could tell at a glance that this young lady indeed had a kind heart.

But sometimes, kindness can lead to the wrong actions.

Advising others on virtue without knowing the situation.

Such virtue is worthless.

Imagine someone whose parents were murdered. When he seeks revenge, he meets a person of goodness who tries to save the murderer and advises him to be kind and not kill indiscriminately.

Is this not laughable?

It’s laughable to the extreme.

Ye Xuan accompanied his family members back home.

"Master, Master Liao is here," someone reported as soon as they entered the courtyard to the elderly man Ye Hongli.

"Oh? Please show him in," Ye Hongli rejoiced immediately.

"Who’s Master Liao?" Ye Xuan asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

With a smile, Ye Hongli explained, "Xuan, you might not know since you’ve just returned a few days ago. Grandfather has an injury that needs treatment every month."

"And every treatment is done with the help of Master Liao."

"This Master Liao is an alchemist from Xijin City, already a Tributor Alchemist, and quite famous."

"Tributor Alchemist?" Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched slightly. After carefully examining Ye Hongli, he identified the cause of the ailment and said in a calm voice, "Grandfather, let me help you with it later; send Master Liao back."

At these words, Ye Hongli stared at Ye Xuan and reproached, "Xuan, that’s not very nice. Even though you now have great power, no matter what, Master Liao has always been treating grandfather. It’s not right to do that."

"Just give him some Spirit Stones," Ye Xuan said, touching his nose.

"Brother Ye!"

But at that moment, an elderly voice came from outside, followed by a white-robed old man walking in.

The white-robed elder appeared to be around the same age as the elderly Ye Hongli.

"Master Liao has arrived, please take a seat," Ye Hongli greeted him warmly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan shook his head in disapproval.

After all these years, grandfather’s temperament hasn’t changed at all.

He cares too much about personal bonds.

Just like before, those two Tributors who fled the battlefield – after the Ye Family came to dominate Wan’an City, they had the audacity to return. Ye Xuan originally wanted them to kneel in repentance, but grandfather gave them a significant amount of Spirit Stones and let them leave...

Ye Xuan sighed inwardly.

Such an approach was not really acceptable.

It was too easy to leave behind problems.

This time he had returned, he had to cleanse the Ye Family.

"Brother Ye, who is this?" Master Liao suddenly turned towards Ye Xuan, asking with curiosity.
