Chapter 871: Uncovered Intention
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After a long while, Huang Xie finally snapped out of his thoughts and focused his attention on Jiang Fei. It seemed as if he was trying to find traces of Ou Yezi on Jiang Fei.
Although Jiang Fei could not see Huang Xie in the dark at all, he could sense that someone was looking at him. As a martial artist, Jiang Fei trusted his instincts.
"You do have big brother"s aura…" After some time had pa.s.sed, Huang Xie finally spoke.
"Whew…" Jiang Fei sighed in relief. From Huang Xie"s tone, he could tell that this rebel was indeed very close to Ou Yezi. As long as Jiang Fei did not do anything offensive, he would not attack Jiang Fei.
"Tell me. Why are you here?" After confirming Jiang Fei"s ident.i.ty, Huang Xie sounded much kinder.
"Can I see you?" Jiang Fei tried asking. Although Jiang Fei was here to kill Huang Xie, he would not be able to attack if he could not even see his opponent.
"Fine! I have not met anyone for a long time!" Huang Xie sighed. He did not reject Jiang Fei"s request since Jiang Fei was Ou Yezi"s disciple.
A dim light appeared in the cave. Jiang Fei could see Huang Xie"s appearance.
"Handsome" was the only word that came to Jiang Fei"s mind.
Although Huang Xie was only a spirit, Jiang Fei had to admit that he was the most handsome man Jiang Fei had ever met both in the game and in reality. Jiang Fei had never met anyone better looking than him.
Huang Xie had a very masculine appearance. Although he was only a remnant spirit and had a pale face, he still emitted a strong aura of courage and bravery.
"Greetings, Uncle Huang!" Jiang Fei immediately bowed respectfully. From the way he looked, Huang Xie did not appear to be a cunning or evil man. Jiang Fei found it hard to believe that this handsome man was the one who cheated Prince Wu Geng and the entire Human race.
"Hehe… I am embarra.s.sed by you calling me your uncle. I have nothing to give you…" Huang Xie laughed bitterly. It appeared that elders would always give something to the younger generation as a traditional practice among the High Humans. Ou Yezi had also shamelessly asked Zhao Sheng to give Jiang Fei something when they first met.
"Uncle, it"s alright. You can give me whenever it"s convenient…" Jiang Fei laughed. In his heart, Jiang Fei was hoping that Huang Xie would allow Jiang Fei to kill him and obtain his Soul Mark.
"Ah! It seems that Ou Yezi has found a pretty good disciple!" Huang Xie nodded. Not knowing what Jiang Fei was truly thinking, Huang Xie had a good impression of Jiang Fei.
"Uncle, I have heard about you from my master…" Jiang Fei was saying when Huang Xie suddenly interrupted him.
"What did my brother say? Does he think I did what I had to do because I was selfish?" Huang Xie asked urgently. He had been killed by Prince Wu Geng before he could even speak to his brothers. Therefore, he was most concerned about what the other three brothers thought of him, especially big brother Ou Yezi whom he was closest to.
"My master did not say anything in the conclusion. All he said was that mankind fell prey to their own greed. However, he added that what you said might be true as well," Jiang Fei said with honesty.
"Hehe, big brother is still the same as before. He is always impartial. However, I am very glad that he added those words!" Huang Xie laughed. He felt much better knowing that Ou Yezi did not regard him as a selfish and cunning man.
"Uncle, I actually think that you wouldn"t do such a thing for your own benefit either," Jiang Fei said what he honestly thought. Ever since he met Huang Xie, Jiang Fei found it hard to treat him as an evil person.
"Do you really think so?" Huang Xie"s eyes lit up as he stared at Jiang Fei and asked.
"Indeed!" Jiang Fei nodded.
"Why would you think so?" Huang Xie asked.
"I believe that you are more intelligent than most people. If you had done it for your own benefit, you would have made sure to cover it up," Jiang Fei explained to Huang Xie. After listening to Ou Yezi"s descriptions, Jiang Fei did not really believe Huang Xie would do something bad for his own benefit.
If it were for his own benefit, the plan was far too weak. Huang Xie was risking too much by faking the birth of Prince Wu Geng"s son. If he really did so for his own benefit, he would have killed the beautiful lady after the son was born instead of letting her live.
Moreover, when Huang Xia presented the beautiful lady to Prince Wu Geng, the War of the Heavens was already going downhill. Right then, when the news spread that Prince Wu Geng was going to have a son, the army was greatly encouraged. That was when the Human race was able to acquire even greater glory in the War of the Heavens.
From these two points, Huang Xie must have been able to identify the weakening state of the Human race and wanted to encourage the army. However, it was a very stupid trick. Although he succeeded in encouraging the army, he had also thoroughly upset Prince Wu Geng.
Any man would not be able to accept the fact that their wife gave birth to another man"s son. Therefore, Huang Xie faced a horrible death in the end. In fact, the Human race was not able to defeat the Primordial Celestial race. In the end, the Human race lost and Prince Wu Geng was killed.
"Hehe, great! Great! Great!" Huang Xie exclaimed after listening to Jiang Fei"s explanation. He then laughed out loud. "You were indeed sent here to kill me!"
"Ahh?!" Jiang Fei was surprised.
"Haha! Don"t worry, young fellow! If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead!" Huang Xie laughed at Jiang Fei.
"How do you know I was sent to kill you…" Since Huang Xie had already found out about Jiang Fei"s intention, he had no reason to hide it anymore. If Huang Xie started attacking him, Jiang Fei would have no choice but to fight with his life.
"Hehe, you gave your explanation. It"s time for me to give mine!" Huang Xie laughed. He did not seem to have any intention of attacking Jiang Fei. He then asked Jiang Fei, "Do you know how I was able to ascertain that you are Ou Yezi"s disciple?"
"Ahh?" Jiang Fei was stunned.
"That"s because you have the aura of the Cauldron of Creation!" Huang Xie laughed.
"I see!" Jiang Fei suddenly understood what he meant. If Huang Xie was able to detect the aura of the Cauldron of Creation, he would also be able to detect the aura of the Commanding Cauldron which Jiang Fei possessed. This meant that Jiang Fei must have met Prince Wu Geng. Thus, Jiang Fei"s motive for seeking Huang Xie out would also be made apparent.
