Proving Oneself (1)

"Different?" Yun Lintian spoke calmly. "Speaking about the difference, I didn't expect the master of this place to be like this either."

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea under Hongyue's watchful gaze.

Yao Huang smiled and asked. "You're not afraid that I would poison you at all?"

"Did you?" Yun Lintian responded as he set the teacup down.

The two stared at each other briefly before Yao Huang broke the silence. "While you are inheriting his power, both of you are entirely different. I can see that the drive behind your ambition comes from the people around you and a desire to live a peaceful life."

"You wouldn't believe it if I said we have the same goal."

"Don't make me laugh." Master Bai interjected. "If you wanted peace, why would you want to leave this place in the first place?"

"Because it is the only way to achieve true peace." Yao Huang replied calmly.
