Chapter 110 - 110 Human Lives Are So Worthless in My Eyes
110 Human Lives Are So Worthless in My Eyes
“You’re begging me for a beggar you don’t even know, little fool. Is your favor so worthless?”
Hearing the mockery in Huo Junhan’s tone, Shen Yaowei’s face turned pale. “Ninth Imperial Uncle, although I’m stupid, I know that good and evil will be repaid. Human lives are not child’s play.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Junhan laughed softly.
The man only stopped when his eyes were red from smiling.
“Shen Yaowei, are you lecturing me? Human lives are so worthless in my eyes.”
Shen Yaowei pursed her lips and looked at Huo Junhan. She stood up and said, “If you refuse to help, I’ll think of a way to save him myself!”
With that, she made a show of turning to leave.
Huo Junhan’s smile faded bit by bit, and his eyes overflowed with coldness.
“How troublesome.” Disgust spilled from his thin lips. The man waved his hand, and spiritual power shot out from it.
The spiritual energy hit the bat demon beast’s heart.
The bat demon beast let out a scream. It lost its balance and fell.
Another force followed, lifting the child who was about to hit the ground and placing him safely on the ground.
Shen Yaowei turned around slightly and saw Huo Junhan retract his hand. A brilliant smile appeared on her face. “Ninth Imperial Uncle, you’re amazing.”
“You saved that child, so deal with the aftermath.” Huo Junhan did not look at Shen Yaowei and his tone was as cold as ice.
Shen Yaowei nodded slightly.
Huo Junhan beckoned to the guards, who were waiting not far away. They immediately came to him.
The guard bent down and listened to Huo Junhan whisper in his ear. He stood up and smiled at Shen Yaowei. “Miss Shen, please come with me.”
Shen Yaowei looked at Huo Junhan slightly and saw that he was drinking tea with his eyes lowered. He did not look to be in a bad mood, so she stood up in relief and followed the guards.
Shen Yaowei followed the guards to the backyard of the attic.
“Miss, wait a moment. I’ll bring the child over,” the guard said to Shen Yaowei.
Shen Yaowei nodded slightly and sat down on the stone bench.
Soon, the guards pulled the child to Shen Yaowei.
She still seemed to be in shock. There were tears on the child’s face, probably from the pain of his injuries, and his thin body was trembling.
The guards left the child here and left.
There was only Shen Yaowei and the child in the courtyard.
A dark figure stood at the window on the third floor of the attic not far away, looking at them indifferently.
Shen Yaowei took out a packet of silver from her wide sleeve and handed it to the child. “Don’t do such dangerous things again. Take this silver. Save some money and find a normal job.”
She looked at Shen Yaowei with her big clear eyes. The child slowly reached out and took the silver from Shen Yaowei’s hand. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Thank you, Miss. However, I have something else I need your help with.”
Shen Yaowei did not expect this child to have other requests and could not help but frown. “Tell me.”
A shy smile appeared on the child’s face as he said embarrassedly, “Please take me away from this place yourself, Miss. I’m afraid those people will catch me again.”
“Alright.” Shen Yaowei thought that the child was frightened. She led the way towards the entrance of the courtyard.
The child lowered his head and followed behind Shen Yaowei.
The moment he stepped out of the courtyard, he turned back and looked at the attic.
The figure at the third-floor window had disappeared. The child’s lips curled up into a smile that actually reached the back of his ear.
