Chapter 540 Noah: I Pity The Fool Who Crossed You.
The servant left Long Xiang in his battered state, closing the door with a loud bang. Long Xiang could only stare at the closed door with hatred as reality slowly began to set in.
Previously, he had been in denial about his lack of talent and continued to try cultivating. The result never changed—he was never able to sense any qi around him.
Life continued, and the clan's treatment toward Long Xiang only worsened. He was constantly bullied by the same people who once looked up to him. Unable to endure the bullying, he planned to escape the clan.
In his mind, even without any talent, he would receive far better treatment outside than in his home, where his father refused to see him, and his brother constantly used him as a training dummy.
Looking at his bruised body, Long Xiang's eyes flashed with a cold glint. He felt the breeze brushing against the cuts on his skin.
Covering his body with dark clothes, Long Xiang left the clan secretly through the escape route he had been planning for a while.
As he had expected, life outside the clan was much more comfortable. No one punished him or used him for training.
But he had forgotten one crucial thing...
The clan was the only source of protection he had, and now, having left the clan, he had lost that protection.
One day, someone from the Wang Clan caught sight of Long Xiang wandering in a remote corner of Primal Dawn City.
The person was the same young man who had mocked him during his awakening. Seeing Long Xiang sneaking around like a thief, he secretly followed him.
'Long Xiang, not only did you escape the Long Clan, but you also dared to stay in this city. Don't blame me for taking advantage of this,' the young man thought. After following Long Xiang to a secluded alley, he only emerged after some time.
In his hand was a piece of cloth soaked with blood that he had just used to wipe his hands, and in the alley, a mutilated body lay twitching, stabbed with a short blade.
'Long Xiang' died under the painful torture and blood loss from his wounds.
The screen that was showing this event suddenly went blank, flashing back inside the fragment of Long Xiang's consciousness.
At first, he did not think much about it, but as time passed and his body moved around on its own, Long Xiang found himself being followed by the same person.
'Who is he? Why does he keep following me?' Long Xiang wondered with wariness and curiosity. 'Had it not been for my current situation, I wouldn't have even noticed him.'
Even though he wanted to confront the unknown man, Long Xiang knew he could not control his body.
'If it's an assassin, will I be able to defend myself?'
Days passed as Long Xiang watched himself taking over a group of bandits and searching for the woman he hated the most in his life.
'Even though I cannot leave this place, I am really looking forward to watching myself torture that woman.'
These days, he had tried everything to escape the illusion but only failed. Long Xiang only felt better when he realized that his body was moving to take revenge on Xin Yan.
But, somewhere in his heart, he had a very bad feeling about everything that was going on. Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
'That man is still not giving up?' Watching his body leave the inn with the bandits, Long Xiang frowned as he kept a close eye on the cloaked figure wearing a bamboo hat.
Noah, who had been watching everything from the start with Xin Yan, felt his robes being tugged at. Looking down, he saw Xin Yan curled up in his arms like a cat, looking at him with a dark smile on her face. He could tell she was planning something dangerous.
"Noah..." Xin Yan moved closer to Noah's ear and whispered something that caused his eyes to widen.
Soon his shock turned into happiness. "I pity the man for crossing you. You devious little devil." Noah pulled her into a deeper hug as he spoke without any ounce of pity in his voice.
"No, you don't." Xin Yan smiled widely enough for Noah to see her teeth. She was happy to see him unfazed by her dark thoughts.
"Hehe~ I shall do as you wish, my lady." With a smile on his face, Noah snapped his fingers, causing the seal on one of Long Xiang's consciousness fragments to change.
The consciousness was the same fragment they had been watching over at the moment.
