And this time, he wonât let his friend Little Leopard suffer anymore damage. A man must shoulder responsibility in life, thatâs what his mother said.
âMhmm,â the leopard boy nods and came out again with renewed confidence. âYou are my only friend so I believe in youâ¦.â Though thereâs no more fear left on the kidâs face, but the cheeks were still flushing red as he stared back at the townspeople.
âElder, are you seeing this?â
Not far away from where Bai Xiachen stood was a young man wearing a light blue robe. Heâs currently eyeing the two boys while fanning himself like a young scholar.
âYoung Lord, I saw it very clearly, the boy with the more exquisite face is the one those from the Demon Realm are seeking.â
With a placking sound, the youth folds his fan in one smooth motion and coldly spoke again. âAccording to the forefathers, we were once also members of the Demon Realm, but because of a mistake our forefathers made, those at the throne threw us out and banished our clan into this domain. Originally we should be happy to be able to come here, after all, the Demon Realmâs foundation is damaged during the great war.â Getting cold in the eyes now upon bringing the subject up, âBut those accursed beings cursed us, forever sealing our ability to advance in the Celestial Rank here. They couldâve just left us alone, instead they ordered us to forever guard over this stretch of land for them and not let us reap the benefits!â The more he spoke about the past and the conditions placed on him and his kin, the more outspoken and harsher his voice became.
âWhat do you have in mind Milord?â the old man asks after a moment of thought.
Showing a rippling smirk regarding that question: âI want to make use of this demon prince! Once I capture him then that demon king will only have two choice to make. First is to release us from this prison, then its to hand over the throne to me and break the limit on our bodies!â Showing hardness in the eye, the youth flicks open his fan again using that expressionless face.
âYoung Lord, what plan do you have in mind?â At first the senior thatâs with the youth was stunned by that proclamation, but he quickly came back to his senses after weighing the cons and pros.
Itâs true forcing someone to do their bidding would be difficult, but itâs not entirely impossible. They do have their method and as it so happens, they have it right here in their hands.
âIf he loses his memory then wouldnât it be easy to control him?â The youth sneers, âOur Zhang Houseâs forefathers were stupid. Iâm not going to be like them, guarding this domain just because others told them to!â
The old manâs heart trembled then. For some unknown reason, he couldnât help but feel uneasy when listening to his young lordâs words.
âMilord, shouldnât we let the chief know first?â
âNo need!â The young man shows a dark look, âThat old thing is so cowardly, he will only hinder our plans and get in the way. If you want our Demon Wolf Clan relive its glory days again then follow my orders, I will lead us to greatness!â
