"So annoying... Can't they just calm down? I just want to go home," I muttered quietly, already aware of who was behind the BMW.
If I remembered correctly, I could sense that the person inside the car had the aura of someone at the Void Returning Realm.
Surely, it wouldn't be far-fetched to say that this person was the leader of the assassination squad.
And as expected, my thoughts turned out to be true.
The moment I disappeared from Sun Xinxin and the others' sight, a visible reaction appeared on the assassin's face.
"That movement... Did he teleport? No, I didn't see any advanced equipment stored in that kid's pockets."
Perhaps, the assassin leader thought I activated a teleportation device?
But no, she didn't sense any strange tools on my body.
Instead, she only felt faint fluctuations of natural energy from within me.
That alone was enough to make her question—was I someone extraordinary?
Looking at my face, there was no way she could mistake me for anything but an ordinary person.
But then again, the fact that I could instantly move dozens of meters away was undeniable.
From the assassin's point of view, she was now highly suspicious—was I the one who ruined her plan?
There shouldn't be anyone in Jinshi High School above the Void Returning Realm.
So why? What caused her attack to be blocked by an unknown expert?
Even deep in the assassin's heart, a chilling fear crept in—was that mysterious figure nearby?
Fortunately, the assassin understood one thing—it was impossible that the person who interrupted her would bother with her further.
After all, the fact that I completely ignored the assassin's presence was hard to deny.
Judging by her intent, I knew she had no plan to harm Sun Xinxin.
Instead, she seemed determined to find out whether the expert she imagined was near Jinshi High School.
I am Ye Yue. I've killed several descendants from high-ranking families throughout my life.
For hundreds of years, I've been a source of chaos in this world.
If I tried to recall, I couldn't even remember how many lives I'd taken.
But one thing is certain—I've lived for more than a hundred years.
Sadly, I can no longer remember the memories of my past.
Since that day, I believed that killing was my only purpose.
Alright...
For a moment, Ye Yue couldn't help but glance at Sun Xinxin again.
At first, she intended to kill her in public.
But she held herself back, especially after sensing the gaze of an expert.
She realized someone was silently warning her not to act recklessly.
If she dared to act, wouldn't that mean she would be forced to die at that expert's hands?
"Achoo...! Is someone talking about me? Whatever... I just want to go home and take a shower."
Without thinking much, I headed deeper into my house.
Just as I opened the door, I heard my mother welcoming me home.
"My little sweetheart? Are you back? I thought you were still with your classmates. Come in quickly."
"I know."
Perhaps it's true—my mom really hoped I'd make some friends at school.
Unfortunately, what she wished for would never come true.
Back in fifth grade, I had already hurt a few people.
To be honest, my power was simply too much for me to handle when I was just ten years old.
And now, I knew there was no way I could fulfill my mother's wish.
Suddenly, as I walked into the living room, I heard my mom say something I didn't quite understand.
"That's right, sweetheart. I heard from one of your teachers that you got praised! They said you're very talented! Have you ever thought about becoming an alchemist?"
An alchemist...
Just as I thought, one of the most common professions in the world of cultivation.
No matter what, the fact remains that alchemists are one of the most valuable assets in a cultivator's life.
Because of this, it made perfect sense that my mom would suggest I become one.
But no, I knew I wasn't meant to be an alchemist.
From the very beginning, I swore I would never rely on my power.
Even though... I often struggled to control my spiritual energy.
This thought...
"No. Your son doesn't want to become an alchemist. I'm more interested in becoming a scientist—just like you and dad."
Unexpectedly, I saw a touched expression appear on my mom's face.
Deep down, she never thought I respected their profession that much.
If they remembered, they had been ridiculed several times by cultivators.
Luckily, they managed to prove that technology wasn't inferior to cultivation.
In fact, a single satellite strike could wipe out several experts at the Nascent Soul stage, proving that technology should never be underestimated.
Without warning, my mom handed me some snacks.
As usual...
Maybe it's true—I didn't want to live as a spoiled child.
But seeing my mom and dad give me everything I wanted, I knew I couldn't refuse them.
After all, the fact that I was their only beloved child was undeniable.
If they had a daughter, would they shift their focus to her instead?
Whatever the case... I didn't care whether I received special treatment or not.
Without further ado, I started eating the snacks my mom gave me.
Just as I turned on the news at home, I saw something strange being reported.
"Today's news—one of the grand thieves has once again infiltrated a national laboratory. Currently, several Chinese special forces experts are trying to handle the situation. So far, no information has been released."
A theft...
"Again? Is this serious? How could your father's invention be taken back by them?" my mom asked, clearly confused about the thief's true motive.
She remembered witnessing this thief steal equipment from their lab several times.
And now, she knew—they were truly serious about reclaiming China's top technology.
Deep in my mom's heart, she worried—was another country planning to sabotage China?
Thankfully, her worst fears were unlikely to come true.
Just as she was about to return to her work, she heard her husband arrive home.
"Dad's home!"
"Honey! Are you okay? I was so worried! Did that thief strike again this morning?"
"Well… I'm just glad I wasn't caught up in it. Don't worry, the special forces have already launched an investigation. We just have to wait."
The Chinese special forces...
If I had to say, I knew they were composed of several cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Even the leader of their force was none other than Master Liu Wei.
Truly fortunate...
From my father's perspective, he believed there was no way Master Liu Wei could be defeated by a thief.
After all, the fact that Liu Wei managed to wipe out experts beyond the Soul Formation Realm was undeniable.
If my parents ever discovered that I was the one who had killed experts above the Soul Formation stage, would they still be this calm?
Even though, deep down, they already knew I was blessed with limitless power.
