1399 Li Jinxi's Dreams
Yuan raised an eyebrow with a somewhat surprised look on his face after witnessing Xiong Lu's exaggerated apology.
However, he had no intentions of forgiving Xiong Lu so easily and spoke in a cold voice, "Why should I accept your apology? You think you can provoke me and make it go away with an apology whenever you want? Who do you think you are? Do I look like a pushover to you?"
"N-No! Of course not!" Xiong Lu quickly said, but he couldn't think of anything else to say in this situation. After all, it was true that he had provoked Yuan out of sheer jealousy, and Yuan had no reason to trust his sincerity."
"What do I have to do?" Xiong Lu asked after a moment of silence.
"Nothing." Yuan calmly said.
"E-excuse me?" Xiong Lu wore a dazed expression on his face, seemingly unable to understand the meaning behind Yuan's words.
Yuan quickly responded in a calm tone, "I will not accept your apology, but I will also not come after you for revenge. If you stay out of my way and don't provoke me any further, we can both continue to live our lives without any unnecessary headaches. However, the moment you try to do anything to me or those around me to get to me, I will immediately crush you and your entire family. Do I make myself clear?"
Xiong Lu did not immediately respond, as he had to take a moment to comprehend Yuan's words.
He nodded a moment later, saying, "You have my word."
Yuan sneered, "Your words are worthless to me, nor will I believe them. But as I said, I don't want any unnecessary bloodshed, so you don't have to worry about that. If you have nothing else to say, you may leave."
Xiong Lu didn't dare to stay there any longer, fearing that Yuan might suddenly change his mind. He left the place the following moment, escorted out by Meifeng.
"I think you let him off the hook a little too easily, Yuan. He deserved to be punished a little more for what he'd done to you." Wang Ming suddenly said.
A few others proceeded to chime in, agreeing with Wang Ming's view.
Yuan smiled and asked, "What kind of punishment should I have given him? We're not in Cultivation Online, so it's not like I can chop his hands off for messing with me. He's just an overly prideful and reckless young brat who went a little overboard with his provocations. I don't have the energy to deal with someone as meaningless as him."
"Young brat? You sound like an old man." Shi Lang laughed out loud.
Sure enough, Yuan's mentality had matured even further after absorbing more of Tian Yang's memories, perhaps a little too much. However, this was an inevitable change, and it would only get worse as he continued to recollect more memories.
Yuan stood up and said to them, "Get some early rest today. I will train with you guys tomorrow. I am curious how the Lord trains you all."
