บท 385: We came looking for him, he found us first

"Because royals... are nothing more but a bunch of fucking failures!"

I said this sentence with full knowledge of what it meant, especially when I rubbed it right into the face of the very first royal I met in my life. 

Or at least, the very first royal that I met while being aware of his cultivation rank and status. 

Yet, rather than flying into a rage, the man leaned his head over his shoulder while throwing me a puzzled look. 

"I can sense your spiritual energy, kid," he said with a smirk hanging in the corner of his mouth. At the same time, though, his eyes turned a bit colder than before. He then sighed. "The only reason why you are still alive is that you don't know any better," he said, shaking his head like some sort of immortal who found the idea of killing a rude junior of his to be too much of an abuse of his power.
