Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Origin of Emotions is Unknown

"Tell me now, do you deserve to wield a sword?"

"I do not... I do not deserve it," Xiao Zhan said, his voice trembling.

Wu Tian took another step forward and demanded, "Tell me now, are you a Great Swordmaster?"

"I... I am not," Xiao Zhan hastily shook his head.

With eyes like those of a divinity, Wu Tian took another step and thundered, "Tell me now, are you even a man?"

"I... I am not." Under the weight of Wu Tian’s aura and power, Xiao Zhan hurriedly answered, not daring to show the slightest defiance.

"A sword can be broken inch by inch, but it must never be so soft as to bend around a finger," Wu Tian said coldly. "Your Sword Heart is gone. A life like that is worse than death. You can go."

"Yes, yes, yes." In Wu Tian’s eyes, which had long transcended the mortal coil, Xiao Zhan was nothing more than an ant.

Xiao Zhan’s Sword Heart had been shattered by terror. He could only nod tremblingly before stumbling and crawling away.

No one could have anticipated that Xiao Zhan, who just moments ago had carried himself with the demeanor of an expert, would end up in such a state.

Wu Tian’s indifferent gaze then shifted to Xiao Tian.

As the young clan leader of the Xiao Family of Lanling, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but tremble under Wu Tian’s dispassionate stare. He found it difficult just to remain standing. In his mind, Xiao Zhan had always been a powerhouse with few rivals, one who could roam the seven continents and four oceans with impunity. Yet, even such a figure was utterly helpless before Wu Tian, crumbling under his words like a tiger scared out of its wits. That was all the more terrifying for Xiao Tian himself.

"I... I was wrong," Xiao Tian stammered, his face pale with fright.

"Oh? Why is your attitude so different from before?" Wu Tian asked with a faint smile.

His words sent another violent tremor through Xiao Tian’s body, and he began to quiver even more intensely. "It was... it was my own shortsightedness. I failed to recognize the greatness before me."

Seeing this, Xiao Liang nodded to himself. Xiao Zhan had been right: there was an iron law in this world where the strong were revered. However, the strong one wasn’t Xiao Tian or Xiao Zhan; it was Wu Tian. Still, a worry gnawed at him. If the Xiao Family of Lanling learns of this, what will they do? Will those stubborn old guards let this go?

The Wei Elites security guards stood dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold. When they first saw Xiao Liang treating Wu Tian with such respect, they had all shaken their heads, thinking the young man was just lucky. Now, having witnessed his methods, they knew he relied not on luck, but on incredible strength. They figured that even the leader of Dragon Country would have to treat a man like Wu Tian with the utmost respect. They seethed with envy, jealousy, and resentment. They had fought their entire lives just to reach the level of a King of Soldiers, so how could this young man be so overwhelmingly formidable?

Xia Qian’s heart reeled in shock, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an unusual light. This is the kind of man I want to marry. When I was in Europe, I met the man at the top of the Forbes list, but he lacked Wu Tian’s dignified air and his breathtaking presence. Wu Tian looks ordinary, but when he acts, he exudes an aura of invincibility that his usual self lacks. That gaze of his looks down upon the entire world. It’s a gaze that even the man at the top of the Forbes list doesn’t possess. Besides, wealth is just an external possession. A man as powerful as Wu Tian could acquire it with ease if he so desired.

In comparison, Xia Qian felt that among all the men she had ever met, none could hold a candle to Wu Tian.

He’s so exceptional, countless women must admire him. But with his standards, there are probably very few he would even look at. I have to try. The thought surfaced in her mind. She had never once imagined she would be the one to pursue a man; she had always assumed it was men who ought to pursue her. Yet, she knew in her heart that a man like Wu Tian was one of a kind. If she didn’t cherish this opportunity, she would have to watch this wonderful possibility slip away and belong to someone else.

So, what is the story between Qin Yuhan and Wu Tian? Xia Qian wondered.
