Bai Ci's old face finally froze. With his chest heaving, he took a deep breath to restrain the anger in his heart that was about to burst out.
"It seems that you are too deeply possessed by the devil, otherwise you won't say such cruel words! How can you just take a person's life as you wish?"
Yun Luofeng smiled. "So my father and mother should die, and I should die as well? Why didn't you stand up for them when the royal family plotted against my parents? Now I just want to avenge my parents, and you keep asking me to return good for evil? Is this what you call compassion?"
Bai Ci's suddenly became mute, his old face slightly changed and an icy light flashed through across eyes.
Soon, his eyes regained its friendliness, and he looked at Yun Luofeng kindly, saying, "These two things are different. As a junior general, your father died on the battlefield with your mother. It was a noble death! However, this is now a different story. Your behavior is just defying life. How can I just sit and watch this to happen? Yun Luofeng, leave here with me now and let me save you."
Bai Ci's face raised a gentle smile as if he was the savior!
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes. "What if I say no?"
"Then I have no choice but to kill you." Bai Ci shook his head, his eyes full of compassion. "Of course, I don't want to see this happen."
Yun Luofeng chuckled, her defiant laughter was filled with contempt and slowly traveled to the subdued courtyard of Luofeng Pavilion.
"When it was me who was going to kill someone, you claimed that it's because I was possessed by the devil, and I was being extremely cruel. But now that it was you who want to kill me, you're just going to ignore this?"
"Little girl, I'm just forced to do this. By killing you, I can save more people. Thus, in the end, I am still saving the world. Otherwise, you'll keep following the devil's orders and make the whole world suffer." Bai Ci Yun stared at Yun Luofeng, full of compassion. "You may rest assured, after killing you, I will abstain from eating meat and will pray to Buddha in my entire life to atone for my sin!"
"You mean, my life only amounts to you abstaining from meat and praying?" Yun Luofeng raised the corners of her lips. "I really don't know whether you're a tear-shedding crocodile or a fraud!"
From the moment she first laid her eyes on the old man, Yun Luofeng had already found out his real thoughts.
The compassion he mentioned was just something from his standpoint! It was as though it was his right to kill, but anyone else would be in the wrong regardless of the reason!
This kind of person was not genuinely compassionate but just a hypocrite who used mercy as a guise.
"You are really stubborn," Bai Ci shook his head and sighed helplessly. "Since you're still young, I'll give you a chance and spare your life! But I'm going to cripple you so that you won't be able to take anyone's life!"
Startled by his words, Ye Dong turned to Bai Ci and said anxiously, "Master Bai Ci, Master Bai, he..."
Before he came here, as ordered by Bai Su, Empress Rong had told him that he had to bring Yun Luofeng to Bai Su!
If Bai Ci crippled Yun Luofeng, he would not be able to fulfill his task...
Ignoring Ye Dong's words, Bai Ci released his entire strength. Under the powerful pressure, Ye Dong was unable to utter a word as though he had been gagged...
Feeling Bai Ci's imposing manner, Yun Luofeng lowered her eyes and asked Xiao Mo through soul communication, "Xiao Mo, what are my odds of defeating him?"
