Heaven Slaying Blade

Chu Mo grinned, walked over to a pavilion at the side, and took a seat on a long bench. He patted the bench and said, "Aren't you tired from standing while talking, Prince? Come and sit, don't be shy!"

Xia Jing scowled at Chu Mo, walking over and sitting at the other end of the bench. "Chu Mo," he said, "if I'd known what a troublesome brat you are, I wouldn't have let you get away alive no matter what!"

"You didn't want me to escape alive in the first place, I just got lucky! Also, look how nice it is to talk like this, everybody being open, doesn't communication feel much more pleasant?" Chu Mo sat there, taking a deep breath: "Being in the prince's residence is truly unique, even the air is so fresh."

"I'm not pleased! My mansion is in chaos because of you! All my valuable plants, selling you wouldn't even cover the loss!" Xia Jing glared at Chu Mo, still fuming.

"What's the big deal? To the wealthy Prince, such small losses are inconsequential." Chu Mo casually smiled.

"Two Protectors died, both of them were from great sects!" Xia Jing coldly stared at Chu Mo: "I won't take the blame for you on this matter!"

"Haha, I never expected the kind-hearted Prince to take the blame." Chu Mo laughed lightly and then calmly said: "You just need to give them their due compensation, if they want to seek revenge, they'll naturally come to me."

Xia Jing stared at Chu Mo, his eyes flickering, growing more dubious. What had this boy been through in just over half a year? His transformation was considerable. Not only did his strength progressed to a shocking level, but his courage and knowledge were also astonishing.

As a prince and being in a high position for many years, others usually wouldn't dare to breathe freely in front of him, let alone speak. Even members of prestigious sects would be very polite in his presence.

This boy was so unrestrained in front of him. Even though he was aware there was a powerful figure in his mansion, he continued to be calmly humorous. Just for this audacity, he had won Xia Jing's respect.

"He… is only thirteen or fourteen years old... What kind of monster would he grow up to be?" Xia Jing squinted, if it weren't for his attention on Chu Mo's words, he would wish to eliminate this pest, even at great cost!

Although the two of them were seemingly peaceful in conversation here, don't forget, this guy just killed two of his Protectors, and caused an uproar in the Prince's Mansion. Chu Mo might casually dismiss the property losses, but in practice, the number is truly enormous!

Even Xia Jing felt the pain. Not to mention, there was no alleviation of the hatred between them. Could Chu Mo really have good intentions?

"What did you mean by those words you told me?" Xia Jing finally couldn't hold back, and proactively asked. It was not that his schemes weren't deep enough, but this little brat was too shameless and cunning, avoiding answering his question.

"Which words? What words?" Chu Mo dazed for a while, his face full of astonishment. Then, seeing Xia Jing's face growing darker, he chuckled: "Oh, you are talking about the medical recipe... Alright, let me tell you about it."

"Hmph." Xia Jing almost lost his patience and called upon the powerful figure in his Mansion to eliminate Chu Mo. This kid is really infuriating!

"As I said earlier, our hatred originates from Xia Jie. You hate me because Xia Jie is your only son. Am I right?" Chu Mo looked at Xia Jing and asked lightly.

"Yes." Xia Jing answered stiffly.

"Excellent." Chu Mo nodded: "What kind of person your son is, don't need me to say it, if we make his vile acts public, even the Emperor can't save him, let alone his own uncle! His deeds are enough to get him killed hundred times over! Am I right?"

Xia Jing's face turned grim, his chest heaving intensely. Who would react calmly when their son was denigrated like this?

However, Xia Jing was a man of power after all. Although he was furious, he still nodded: "Yes, you could say that."

Chu Mo didn't argue over his choice of words, and calmly stated: "So, breaking his capacity to create descendants, first it's eliminating an evil for the people; second, it's saving his life! Because if he hadn't met me, he would have gone down that dark path eventually! The law still exists in Great Xia! I don't believe that even after knowing Xia Jie's actions, the wise Emperor would continue to be indulgent. Is it right?"

Xia Jing thought of the night he was dismissed as Chief of the Cabinet. The Emperor who'd never treated him with chastisement, unleashed a thunderbolt of rage.

Images of the Emperor's furious face and disappointment as he verbally abused Xia Jie as a beast, were still vivid in his memory. Xia Jing shivered uncontrollably, and nodded: "That's right."

"So, your attitude towards me as an enemy is fundamentally wrong! This is like responding to kindness with enmity!" Chu Mo said calmly: "I saved your son's life! However, you sent people after me, forcing me to become a homeless wanderer, sadly leaving Yanhuang City, experiencing countless dangers and near-death experiences."

Xia Jing lowered his eyes, so provoked that he didn't know what to say. Chu Mo had crippled his own son, but now reasoned it as if he was his son's greatest benefactor.

"I'm very generous and broad-minded!" Chu Mo stated.

"Then why did you stir up trouble at the Prince's Mansion?" Xia Jing coldly questioned.

"Being broad-minded doesn't mean I'm happy with what you've done! I'm not pleased! So, naturally, I need to vent! Initially, I didn't think of causing a ruckus, even though you made mistakes repeatedly, but I am kind-hearted, and didn't want to argue with you. It's you who keeps pushing my limits!" Chu Mo slapped the bench, creating a loud noise, stared at Xia Jing, and angrily shouted: "Old fox! You dare to deny your involvement in today's incident?"

Xia Jing snorted, didn't respond, his eyes brimming with a murderous glint. This little beast had continuously called him "old fox," which had utterly infuriated him. Him, Xia Jing… When had he ever been humiliated like this?

Chu Mo sneered: "You never wanted to let me go, wanted me dead, but is it wrong for me to cause a riot in your mansion because of that?"

"That medicine recipe…" With a stern face, Xia Jing stared fixedly at Chu Mo: "Can you talk about it now?"
