Number One Under Heaven

Chapter 81 - Soul Cleansing Spear

"What do you want me to do with her?"

Tian Yi looked at Han Yixue profoundly.

"What do I want to do with her....?" Han Yixiue looks at the woman on the floor--- the one that she has feared for all her life. However, now looking down on her, she no longer feared her. Instead, she pitied her.

"...."

Han Yixue went silent to think.

What does she want to do with her? Revenge? Forgive her? She does not know--- no, she knows, but she was afraid to say it. If people ruled out the fact that she had an above average Divine Sense due to living most of her life blind, then she would be a normal girl with no talents. Even during the Pill Contest where she could stand toe to toe against these Pill Master geniuses from all over the four Continent was only temporary. If she stood on the same stage as them one more time, she would burn out her stamina way before the deadline.

Tian Yi did not rush her and gave her time to think.

After a few more breaths of time, Han Yixue finally looked straight into Tian Yi's pupils and began speaking.

"Master, if I say that I do not want revenge and that I am willing to forgive her for everything she has done to me, then not only would I be lying to myself, but I will also be lying to you, Master."

Han Yixue walked over to where Tian Yi was standing and kowtowed, "Master, please forgive your Disciple for being so selfish, but I request Master to dirty his clean hands and make her experience what I had to endure because of her--- a life surrounded by darkness. My first few years of being blind was a nightmare--- one about living inside darkness forever..."

"I would crumble up in a corner and tremble in fear because I was not able to see anything. I would hug the wall wherever I went and would not let go because I thought that if I did, then I would get lost in the World of Darkness again. After many, many months of living like that, I have unexpectedly awakened my Divine Sense even though I did not Cultivate. Now that I have Divine Sense, the World around me is not as dark..."

"....."

"....."

Han Yixue stopped talking and waited for an answer.

However, the reply she was expecting was instead another question, "Han Yixue, when you look at me, what do you see me as?" Tian Yi asked her.

"A Hero."

Han Yixue gave an instant reply.

Tian Yi's eyebrows slightly lifted, and he looked at Yu Yue, "What about you? What do you see me as?"

Yu Yue did not expect him to ask her such question out of nowhere and panicked a bit, "Eh, ah... Master, whenever I look at you, I see the sun--- one brighter than the one hanging in the sky. Your heroic presence, your righteous morals, and everything else about you are blinding to me..."

"..."

Tian Yi did no reply and turned to Meng Xiang to ask the same question, "What about you? Do you also think I am a hero?"

"Un. But I see Big Brother as a Big Brother before a Hero..."

Tian Yi closed his eyes for a seconds before opening them back up and sighing, "Han Yixue, Yu Yue, Meng Xiang, I am no Hero."

"Eh?"

The three of them looked at him with wide eyes.

"Sure, I may slay these who are evil and help these who are innocent. However, I am no hero... I do not do these things to make others happy---- I do it because it makes me happy. I may look righteous in the eyes of the innocents, but I am evil in my own ways... Slaying evil is just an excuse people make to justify themselves, but in the end, they are only killing these they don't like, and I am no different---- although there are exceptions where people really do it for others. I kill these I don't like--- not because of my family, not because it makes others happy, but because it makes me happy, so do not look at me as a hero. Instead, look at me for who I am, a selfish little brat doing things because it makes him happy. I am only saying this so you do not look at me for who I never was, and when the time comes I do something out of this 'heroic' character, you will not be as disappointed. I will not let my friends, followers, and family know me as someone I am not."
