Chapter 0004 – Eating Gui San Noodles for the First Time in Decades – Absolute Returns

“It’s …… Mr. Gupinho who told me to do this, he said ……”

“Swish!”

Without waiting for him to finish, I had already ended his life with a sword.

It was the first person I’d killed since I’d come back, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty or upset.

In my previous life, I’ve killed far more people than this, and not a few of them were innocent.

“He dared to poison the meal, how dare he!”

“It’s all because of my lax discipline, please punish the young sect master!” The Head Chef fell to his knees and cried bitterly.

“What’s it got to do with you? Blame the guy who poisoned it!”

“But …… everything that happens in the kitchen should be the responsibility of the old man ……”

I helped him up and said, “If something bad happens to the Demon Sect, is that also my father’s responsibility?”

“No …… of course not!”

“Then why are you taking the blame on yourself? Well, enough about that, make me a bowl of shredded chicken noodles tonight, it’s been a long time since I’ve had them.”

“But …… you just had it the night before ……”

“I’m still holding the sword in my hand, and it’s still covered in blood!”

“Yes …… yes, the old man will go to prepare.”

I walked out of the kitchen and Liam rushed to meet me.

“It is the fault of my subordinates for failing to protect you.”

“Come on, don’t beat yourself up, I’m not a kid anymore.”

“Subordinate will be more careful in the future and will never let this happen again.”

“Don’t worry about this, I’ll take care of it.”

“That …… guy who poisoned ……”

“I’ve killed him.”

“But …… the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon side ……”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.”

I tapped her on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Liam followed me, wanting to say something.

“You …… you really are a bit different today.” She finally couldn’t help herself.

“What’s different?”

“You never used to joke, and besides, your tone of voice, your demeanor, it’s not the same as it used to be.”

“Starting today, I’m going to live differently.”

“Why?”

“There’s no reason, it’s just that I suddenly figured it out. I don’t believe that people will change slowly, people will only change radically after experiencing something. It’s just that the chances of such a change are not very common, that’s why people think that rivers and mountains are easy to change, but nature can’t be changed. Let’s go.”

I didn’t give her a chance to follow up on her question, striding forward.

……

“All this stuff, are you taking it with you?”

Looking at the items I had prepared for this hunt, Liam’s mouth dropped open in surprise.

I stuffed a huge leather pouch to the brim, nodded, and said, “Bring it all.”

“My subordinate didn’t know that you were so good at wilderness survival.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

“Then …… my subordinates will wish you and the Lord Godfather, a good time.”

“Hopefully.”

I said that with my mouth, but I didn’t have a clue in my heart.

I can be confident in everything else, except when it comes to my father, I always feel an inexplicable pressure.

Maybe it’s because, having lived a much longer life than he has, I know that he is not an omnipotent god, but an ordinary man of flesh and blood.

“You don’t have to worry, it will be fine.” Li An comforted.

“Hopefully.”

“Get an early night, you have an early start tomorrow.”

“Uh-huh.”

That night, however, I lost sleep.

I had a nightmare that I was back in those dark days of gathering materials, and I kept searching and running and never found what I was looking for.

“Young master, what’s wrong with you?”

In a daze, I heard Liam’s voice.

“I’m fine, had a bad dream.”

“What nightmare?”

“If I use your situation as an analogy, it’s that, you’ve been cultivating hard for decades, and then suddenly one day, all your cultivation has disappeared, and you’ve become an ordinary person who can’t do anything again.”

“Ah! –” exclaimed Liam, “Might as well kill me then!”

I sat up from the bed and looked at the brass mirror on the wall.

I am still young and handsome in the mirror.

Yeah, it would be worth it to go back in time and start over, even if you have nightmares every day.

“You seem nervous.” Liam could see my uneasiness.

“What I’m about to face is an existence more terrifying than a tiger.”

“Wouldn’t that subordinate be scared to death?”

“I’m going to go wash up and get my clothes ready for me.”

“Yes.”

In my previous life, whenever I felt desperate, I would fantasize about going back in time.

In those fantasies, I’m omnipotent, I’m spirited, I trample all my enemies under my feet and, ultimately, become a winner in life.

But the only thing I hadn’t thought about was how to face my father when I went back in time.

Now, I’m going to face him.

I straightened my clothes, put my leather bag on my back, and walked towards the Heavenly Demon Hall.
