Chapter 81
After taking a few minutes to gather herself, Meng Jia began recalling all the things Tang Hu had done to her to Su Yang, while Chen Yu went outside to leave them alone .
"His behavior seemed normal at first, and I'd thought that he wanted to change things up when he started being rougher during our cultivation . However, as the days passed, he quickly became more aggressive and violent…"
"Initially, I believed his unusual behavior was due to stress or something similar, so I didn't say anything and endured it . But things changed when he started beating me without holding back, and he'd even started shouting nonsense like someone in frenzy . "
"What kind of nonsense was he shouting?" Su Yang suddenly cut in to ask .
Meng Jia looked hesitant to reply at first, but Su Yang's intense gazes quickly changed her mind .
"He was shouting things like— I won't ever hand you over to that bastard Su Yang…" said Meng Jia, feeling awkward and embarrassed from the sentence .
"So it is because of that, huh…" Su Yang sighed inwardly .
He instantly understood the situation, as he has encountered similar events multiple times in his past life, where people would become paranoid and insecure because of his mere presence, pushing them into doing things that they normally wouldn't think about .
"He also said things like—"
Su Yang suddenly raised his hands, and he said: "Enough—I have heard enough to understand the situation . Although I cannot compensate you for the pain you had to endure because of me, I will deal with Tang Hu to make sure he will never hurt you again, as that is the least I can do . "
He apologized to her despite taking no part in this fiasco except by just existing .
"Umm… what do you plan on doing to him, if you don't mind me asking?" Meng Jia asked with a concerned expression .
"Are you going to tell the Sect about him? Or will you…"
While the thought of Su Yang risking his life by killing a fellow disciple just to avenge her was laughable, Meng Jia couldn't help but feel that such a thought was also in Su Yang's mind .
"Do you have a problem with me killing him?" Su Yang suddenly said in a calm voice, dumbfounding her .
Meng Jia's eyes widened from shock, and her body trembled .
Although she has come to despise Tang Hu from this incident, somewhere in her heart was still trying to seek forgiveness for him without actually being aware . Perhaps it was because of the time they'd spent together, or maybe because there was a part of her that still loved him, but she simply didn't want Tang Hu to die because of this incident .
And naturally, Su Yang was able to see this reluctance within her .
"I see…"
Su Yang no longer felt like staying in this place and stood up to leave, where Chen Yu was patiently waiting outside for the two of them to finish .
"Wait!" Meng Jia quickly stopped him .
"Although what he did was terrible, I can tell that he's also feeling pain—"
"Pain?" Su Yang coldly sneered .
He then turned to look at Meng Jia in the eyes and said: "That man has already lost his mind from cultivating a Depraved Technique, and you still want to protect him after all he's done to you? How foolish . "
Meng Jia trembled violently at his clearly displeased tone, and she sat there silently with a blank face, looking perplexed .
A moment later, with a nonchalant expression, Su Yang spoke: "Can you walk?"
"Y-Yes . "
"Then follow me," he said as he walked out the door .
"Eh? Where are we going?"
"To visit Tang Hu, obviously . "
"?!?!" Meng Jia stared at him with wide eyes, looking baffled and terrified at the same time . Why would he take her to Tang Hu now?
