C19 He Asked for My Forgiveness

Yu Tianhai's formidable energy swiftly enveloped Xiao Han, surrounding him in an instant. Xiao Han, feeling the surge of power emanating from Yu Tianhai, revealed a frosty smile. "Do you truly believe your current strength is enough to defeat me?" Xiao Han, having observed the entire scene, voiced his contempt slowly and deliberately.

Yu Tianhai hadn't anticipated Xiao Han's dismissive attitude. As a Spirit Weaver in the middle period, Yu Tianhai was confident he could easily overpower this foolhardy opponent. Convinced of his superior abilities, Yu Tianhai launched a potent magic arts attack. But when he tried to penetrate Xiao Han's defenses, he found it impossible.

Yu Haifeng's face betrayed his shock as the situation unfolded beyond their wildest expectations. The ease with which Xiao Han neutralized Yu Tianhai's power was unbelievable to both of them. "How is this possible? My power can't even scratch you," Yu Tianhai exclaimed, his face a picture of incredulity.

Xiao Han responded calmly, "Your power is insignificant before me." With a slight upturn of his lips, he added, "I don't even want to waste my efforts on someone like you." As his words hung in the air, a sudden chill swept through. Both Yu Tianhai and Yu Haifeng could acutely feel the overpowering cold.

The terror was evident on their faces as they grappled with the intensity of the cold. "How can this be? This cold is too powerful," Yu Tianhai thought, astonished. At that moment, Yu Haifeng had an epiphany, his face mirroring his disbelief. "We must retreat—it has to be the snow wolf!"

No sooner had Yu Haifeng spoken than the snow wolf materialized. Had it not been for his quick reflexes, Yu Haifeng would have been marked with bloody gashes. Yu Tianhai's complexion turned pale as he sensed the gravity of their predicament and immediately sought to flee. However, Xiao Han was one step ahead, casting a magic arts that thwarted Yu Tianhai's escape.

The snow wolf charged and collided with him with the force of a massive boulder, striking Yu Tianhai squarely in the chest. Yu Tianhai felt his heart quiver violently, a sensation that filled him with deep unease. Realizing the danger, he quickly conjured a defensive barrier around himself. But it was already too late.

In the blink of an eye, the snow wolf's second attack hit him in the chest. The creature's strength carried with it an overwhelming presence, its lethal aura slicing through Yu Tianhai's chest like a knife. A chilling cold accompanied the wound, which seemed to freeze over almost instantly.

Before Yu Tianhai could grasp the situation, the scene around him shifted. Xiao Han emerged before him, effortlessly raising his hand for a strike. The palm seemed nonchalant, yet it aggravated the injury on Yu Tianhai's chest, causing him to shudder uncontrollably.

"I'll let you off with your life today," Xiao Han declared. "But if I catch you acting so brazenly in my presence again, don't expect any mercy." With those words, Xiao Han turned and strode away.

After his departure, Yu Tianhai and Yu Haifeng were left reeling from the encounter. Yu Haifeng, in particular, could see that Tianhai's condition was rapidly deteriorating, as if a potent force was wreaking havoc inside his body. Sensing the gravity of the situation, Yu Haifeng wasted no time in calling for medical assistance, and Yu Tianhai was rushed to the hospital.

Upon hearing of Yu Tianhai's grave injuries, the Yu family elders hurried to the hospital without a moment's delay. Arriving at the hospital, they were confronted with the reality that his injuries were far more severe than they had anticipated. They approached Yu Haifeng, who was huddled nearby, and demanded answers.

"What happened here? How could his injuries be so severe? It looks like the wound has been tampered with, making it difficult to heal," they inquired, their voices laced with concern and disbelief.

Yu Haifeng, visibly shaken, recounted the events. "It was all Xiao Han's doing. We merely sought his guidance, but he responded with malicious intent, determined to annihilate us," he explained, placing the entirety of the blame on Xiao Han.

He clearly intended to leverage the influence of his family's elders to confront Xiao Han.

"That Xiao Han, the damn scoundrel, seems to think he can push around the Yu family because we lack support."

Once the Yu family elders had spoken, they wasted no time in storming the school.

A representative from the Yu family was promptly dispatched to meet with the school's guidance counselor.

The guidance counselor recognized the gravity of the situation, well aware it was beyond his control.

To avoid any unforeseen incidents, he immediately reached out to Xiao Han's father, Xiao Yunlong.

Upon hearing that someone had the audacity to harass his son at school, Xiao Yunlong, fiercely protective, made a beeline for the institution.

Upon his arrival, he was met by the Yu family's envoy, the Grand Elder, who was in the midst of a tirade in front of the guidance counselor.

Xiao Yunlong's presence cast a shadow of displeasure across his face.

"I've been informed that someone has dared to bully my son. I'm eager to see who possesses such audacity."

The appearance of Xiao Yunlong caused the Yu family members to falter, their confidence ebbing away.

They hesitated, their gaze fixated on Xiao Yunlong, wary of his formidable reputation.

Yet, the incident involving Yu Tianhai left them in a precarious position; failing to respond would result in a total loss of the Yu family's honor.

The Grand Elder, determined to salvage their reputation, spoke up.

"We did not bully your son; it was he who inflicted harm upon a junior member of our family."

"This individual is a prospective Patriarch, cultivated with considerable resources and effort."

"If we do not restore our honor in this matter, what dignity will remain for the Yu family?"

Hearing the Grand Elder's statement, Xiao Yunlong's face betrayed his utter lack of concern as he retorted.

"If a mere candidate can be bested by my son, it seems that individual's strength leaves much to be desired. You've squandered too many resources on him."

"My advice to you is to abandon this pursuit. Further investment in his development is pointless and wasteful."

Xiao Yunlong's blunt remarks left the Yu family members at a loss for words.

Yu Tianhai was outmatched, and now, in seeking retribution, they only compounded their disgrace.

The embarrassment of the situation was already substantial, and failing to reclaim their pride today would surely undermine the Yu family's standing in the future.
