Chapter 440: I Think He Is Right

"You knew of my existence all along, so your son's love was also fake?"

"Of course it wasn't fake; if it were a pretense, how could I have easily deceived you? I wanted absolute certainty, and there could not be the slightest slip-up."

"You wanted Song to fall in love with that girl, and your ultimate goal was naturally for the Rushanyun, wanting to hold this treasure of your family in your hands once again."

"So I just gave it a little push, letting Song truly fall in love with that girl; only then would you believe it."

With a light laugh, Guoyufeng was full of smugness. Still too young, he thought he was calculating against him, not knowing that he was also calculating against him.

The consequence of being self-righteous is losing everything.

"I guessed right; sure enough, after you used a little girl to lure my good-for-nothing son, you couldn't wait to make your request for the Rushanyun."

"It was nothing more than using Song's hands to take back this piece of Rushanyun. Don't you think the whole process was too smooth? That is something I regard as a treasure; could it be so easily obtained by others?"

"You? It was you!" Suddenly enlightened, the surprise of obtaining the Rushanyun had made him relax his vigilance, subconsciously ignoring these things.

Now awakened, it was already too late, and regret was already beyond reach.

"It was I who indulged it, otherwise how do you think he obtained the Rushanyun? If I hadn't nodded, do you think Song could have really taken it away? Naive!"

"You! You even calculate against your own son; you are truly insane!"

"Don't put it so harshly; what do you mean by insane? Afterwards, I will arrange for that little girl to marry Song, which will also fulfill Song's wish."

"Don't even think about it, Xiaoyu won't be willing!" Speaking of this little girl, Caiwenkang suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart, as if a beloved object was about to leave him.

He knew very well what kind of person Guoyufeng was; what he said, he would likely really do.

"With the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, what does it matter if she agrees or not? Besides, you disappeared after obtaining the Rushanyun; what do you think your Xiaoyu will think? A heartless, ungrateful lover?"

"What does this young person know about feelings? After they are married and have children, I don't believe she will have any other thoughts."

"Besides, even if she really isn't willing, so what? As long as Song gets her person and takes her body, what difference does it make?"

"You!"

"You what? A clown, daring to be an enemy of my Cai Family, simply overestimating your own strength!"

Standing in place, spreading his hands, Guoyufeng had the air of someone who could anger others to death without paying a price.

"Are you very angry? Do you want to kill me? I'm standing right here; if you have the ability, come over!"

"I'll kill you!" Not knowing where the courage came from, Caiwenkang suddenly wanted to rush towards the opposite side, wanting to perish together with him.

Anyone would be unsettled upon learning they had been played from start to finish; at this moment, Caiwenkang was clearly like this.

The other party had led him into the trap step by step, just to make him lead them to the place where his family's treasures were hidden.

He had actually brought people here so foolishly and without any precautions, to the point that the secret treasure guarded by his family was found by others.

The treasure that his parents and elders had refused to reveal even while being tortured to death had been sold out by him with ease.

Now, even the only woman close to him was about to be taken by them; the hatred of a father's murder and the theft of a wife were complete, so how could he not hate?

For a moment, he even had the heart to die. Moreover, even if he didn't want to die, the other party would never let him go. The principle of cutting weeds and eliminating roots was something a person like Guoyufeng understood best.

In total despair, the fear in his heart had long been suppressed, and Caiwenkang now sought only death.

Therefore, he rushed towards Guoyufeng without hesitation. This person who destroyed his family and killed his parents—even if he died, he had to tear a piece of flesh off the other party.

"Fool!" As Caiwenkang approached, Guoyufeng only gave his body a slight shake, and the counter-shock force of his internal power sent Caiwenkang's body flying backwards.

Smashing heavily against the wall, for a moment Caiwenkang felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, unable to be stopped.

He wanted to crawl up, but after trying several times, he still fell to the ground again and again. At this moment, he seemed to lack even the strength to crawl up.

Walking up slowly, Guoyufeng looked at him coldly, then raised his hand to kill him.

And at this moment, other than closing his eyes and waiting for death, Caiwenkang seemed to have no other way to break free.

But he waited for a long time without feeling the pain arrive; quietly opening his eyes, he discovered another figure walking over from outside, slowly stepping forward.

This figure was almost exactly the same as the Guoyufeng standing in front of him, making him unable to guess which one was real.

However, the person who had been with him before bowed respectfully to the newcomer upon seeing them.

The newcomer waved his hand lightly at him, and then that person immediately exited the place respectfully.

At this moment, even if he were stupid, he understood: "You are the real Guoyufeng?"

"Smart, the one just now was merely my double; it seems there really is no danger here!"

The probing ended here; it was he who had been too cautious, as there were no mechanisms or traps here at all.

It was a pity he had been so cautious before, even letting the double chat with this piece of trash in front of him for a few more sentences, just to stir up the killing intent in his heart and make him resist.

The result was that even before Caiwenkang died, he had no means of counter-attack, which showed that there was nothing here that could hurt him. It was precisely because of this that he walked out so generously.

As for the person in front of him, he didn't care at all. A guy without a shred of internal power, who only knew how to temper his body with crude methods, wanting to hurt him was simply wishful thinking.

"I want to kill you!"

Seeing the Guoyufeng walking in front of him, Caiwenkang still wanted to crawl up and try again, but with his current injuries, even standing up was a pipe dream, let alone revenge.

"Caiwenkang, the fish that slipped through the net of the Cai Family, thank you for helping me find this place and letting me know how to obtain the inheritance and power here."

"So, it requires someone with no internal power but a strong body; no wonder your Cai Family hasn't been able to obtain the inheritance here for so many years. If it weren't for this, how could you have been so easily destroyed by me."

"To thank you, I will personally send you on your way."

His palm seemed to ignite with raging flames; the scorching temperature could be clearly felt even though they were still some distance apart.

If one were struck by such a palm, even if they didn't die immediately, they would be roasted alive into charcoal.

"Cai Family boy, back then your father, grandfather, and your elders all died under this palm. Now, you too will die under this palm; it can be considered a beginning and an end."

"I am not reconciled! Why, why can someone like you who slaughters the innocent hold a high position? Clearly a hypocritical and cunning person, yet you enjoy glory and wealth, while my Cai Family, a family that accumulates virtue, ends up like this!"

"The barking of the incompetent; this World is just like this, where do so many 'whys' come from?"

"An innocent man is guilty of his own treasure; your Cai Family has the treasure but lacks the ability to guard it, and that is the crime. You lacked the ability to guard it yet refused to give it up; your greed is the knife that killed you yourselves."

"Even without me, there would be the next one, and the one after that. As long as greed remains, your Cai Family is destined to be wiped out!"

His internal power was driven to the extreme, and the temperature on his palm reached a very high level.

He hadn't been idling for these twenty-plus years, especially in the recent period, his internal power had advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength was no longer what it used to be.

With a palm strike like this, let alone an ordinary person like Caiwenkang who possesses no Inner Energy to speak of, even among experts, there are absolutely few who could block it.

In the vast Dongming City, there are very few who could be considered their opponent.

"Thump, thump!"

But just as the palm was about to reach Caiwenkang, they suddenly stopped their hand and looked back with some uncertainty.

The sound from just a moment ago had come from the corpse sitting cross-legged there; this sudden noise made Guoyufeng's heart tremble.

Especially that sound—why did it sound like a heartbeat? Impossible, hadn't this old fellow died long ago?
