Chapter 1788 Eternal Calamity (4)
"Yun Yi... Yun Xia..." Yun Yi murmured in a daze after hearing Yun Tian's words. He knew that he and his sister would have their own last name from now on.
The little girl, Yun Xia, started crying immediately. She had wished for a surname before and finally got one today.
Yun Lintian looked at the two and sighed softly. The world was indeed cruel.
"Get up." Yun Tian said softly. "Just remember that you should only kneel to your parents. No one in this world is worthy of your kowtow. That includes me."
Yun Yi and Yun Xia were stunned and nodded their heads in confusion.
Yun Tian smiled and didn't offer any further explanation. Yun Yi and Yun Xia were still young and lived at the bottom of society. They didn't value dignity much. Yun Tian didn't want to see them bowing to anyone again in their lifetimes.
"Master…" Yun Yi looked at the headless bodies on the ground with concern.
"It's fine. Just stand here and watch." Yun Tian gave him a reassuring smile.
"Who caused trouble here!?" At this moment, a group of guards approached.
The leader looked at the corpses on the ground, and his expression changed dramatically. He immediately recognized the attire of the Sky Sword Sect.
"I did it." Yun Tian said calmly.
The leader turned to Yun Tian and spoke in a low voice. "Sir, you are in big trouble. Why don't you leave first?"
Yun Tian looked at the guard with surprise. "What do you mean?"
The leader took a deep breath and said. "The Sky Sword Sect is really not a good thing. It's better for them to die this way. But I don't want to see you in trouble. I'll do my best to help you escape."
Yun Tian gazed deeply at the guard and spoke gently. "Thank you for your kindness. However, since I dared to kill them, I naturally have my way. You don't have to worry about it."
"Besides, I don't have the habit of letting others take care of my problems."
The leader let out a long sigh upon hearing this. He knew that the man in front of him was strong, but the opponent was from the Sky Sword Sect, after all.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a group of people flew over and landed beside the headless bodies. These people were wearing the same clothes as the deceased. Without a doubt, they were members of the Sky Sword Sect.
A white-haired old man among them glanced briefly at the lifeless bodies before turning to look at Yun Tian. "You did it?"
"Yes." Yun Tian replied expressionlessly.
The old man frowned slightly. He didn't see anything in Yun Tian's expression. It was evident that Yun Tian didn't take the Sky Sword Sect seriously at all.
"May I know your name?" The old man asked.
"Yun Tian." Yun Tian didn't hide anything.
"Yun Tian…" The old man muttered to himself. A moment later, his expression changed drastically. "You are that Yun Tian!?"
"It seems that my name is quite high on the list in your sect." Yun Tian said calmly.
The old man took a deep breath and spoke solemnly. "Can you tell me what happened here?"
"Your people attempted to abduct my people." Yun Tian responded.
The old man glanced at Yun Yi and Yun Xia and immediately understood everything. He nodded and said. "If that were the case, they were indeed in the wrong. I hope this matter ends here."
The people behind the old man and the guards were astonished. They looked at Yun Tian with confusion. Who was this person? He could actually make the first elder act so cautiously and even give up on pursuing the matter?
"Sure." Yun Tian smiled faintly. "However, I heard that your young master has forced Princess Xia into marrying him. Is it true?"
The old man's expression darkened. He instantly understood that it wasn't a coincidence that Yun Tian had killed his people. Evidently, he had been targeting the Sky Sword Sect from the beginning.
"Must you interfere in this matter? As far as I know, you shouldn't have any connections with the Xia Kingdom." The old man asked.
"It seems that your informant did not fulfill his job." Yun Tian spoke. "Princess Xia is my friend."
The old man stared solemnly at Yun Tian. "Are you sure you want to do this? Although you are strong, we are not weak either."
"It's a waste of time talking to you here. Call your young master over. It's better to call your sect master over, too. It can save a lot of time." Yun Tian said calmly.
Woah—
The onlookers erupted in uproar when they heard this. They gazed at Yun Tian as though he were a monster.
The old man deserved to be a high-level figure. He didn't continue to challenge Yun Tian's bottom line or say anything else. He quickly sent a message to his young master and the sect master.
At this moment, another group of people arrived at the scene. The leader was a young man in a golden robe. He was Xia Haocheng, the current crown prince of the Xia Kingdom.
"We greet Your Highness." Everyone quickly bowed their heads upon seeing him.
Xia Haocheng disregarded everyone and focused on Yun Tian. He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before but couldn't figure it out.
"Yun Tian?"
Suddenly, a female voice echoed from the crowd. This person was none other than Lou Lan, Xia Nongyue's personal guard. She came to investigate the commotion but didn't expect to see Yun Tian here.
Compared to ten years ago, the present Yun Tian was much more mature, and his demeanor was exceptional. It was as if they were two different people.
"Long time no see, Miss Lou." Yun Tian greeted her with a smile.
"It really is you." Lou Lan said in surprise.
Xia Haocheng frowned slightly upon hearing this. Suddenly, he remembered a young boy who approached his younger sister ten years ago. "It's you."
Yun Tian looked at him and said. "I didn't expect Your Highness to remember me."
Yun Tian's voice was calm but sent a chill through Xia Haocheng's heart.
Xia Haocheng calmed down and spoke in a deep voice. "Do you know what you are doing?"
"Do you have any advice, Your Highness?" Yun Tian smiled. His aura immediately enveloped Xia Haocheng, causing the latter to turn pale with fright.
