Chapter 211 - Regrets
Tian Meng Ji sits on the roof with his head downcast, his relationship with Lu Yao is always unclear she knew he loves her but she never clearly reject him at the same time he knew she loves someone else but her loves never reciprocate so he always have fantasy that one day they would be together, this feeling is not something he can control and Tang Mei Yi is like a daughter for Lu Yao and Zhao Li Xin is his beloved disciple so it's normal for him to match them together.
It's just an innocent wish but he underestimated Tang Mei Yi obsession and Lu Yao trauma, he never would have thought they would push Zhao Li Xin this far, he didn't want to admit it but Zhao Li Xin does change although he still indifferent and quiet but the emptiness in his eyes is no longer there and the menacing aura around him is toned down a lot, he knew is all because of that girl but he still have hard time to let go his wish even when he said he will.
His friends and disciple have reminded him about Tang Mei Yi and Lu Yao character but he never really believe it and yet he forces Zhao Li Xin to give them a leeway if its not because of him Zhao Li Xin would eradicate them like his other enemy just like heavenly Jade Pavilion but he held himself because of him.
Tian Meng Ji feel so much guilty toward Zhao Li Xin, he never done anything worthy as a master for that child, on the contrary, he caters to his willfulness every time and now because of him he lost the only person he ever loved, how could he face him ever again.

Inside the Fu Hua everything becomes quiet no one scream again the floor is cover with pile of corpses and the wall is smeared with fresh blood, the table and chair is flip and broke in half there's nothing left from once beautiful and elegant tea house only chaos, meanwhile upstairs is even more quiet Zhao Li Xin lean on the window frame, it's a cloudy night so their's no moon or stars can be seen it's just a grey dark sky just like his heart.
"She hates night sky like this" he suddenly mutters.
"Yes, Milord it used to ruin her mood," Mong Ki said in gloom expression.
Zhao Li Xin bitterly smiles "She said bad thing used to happen in this kind of weather" Zhao Li Xin shifts his gaze to Mong Ki "Isn't she right?"
"She always does…" Mong Ki answer with a quiet voice.
Tang Mei Yi is in the corner with Lu Yao who is heavily injured, they are the last survivors of Fu Hua everyone had been killed by Zhao Li Xin shadow guard, she look at Zhao Li Xin in fear her body trembling in fear and her dress is soaked with sweat she didn't know how she would survive this, she didn't understand why he hated her so much is only one woman why he make a big fuss with it.
"Bro….Brother Zhao…please…" Tang Mei Yi stutter.
"Did I told you to call me Lord, call me Brother again and I cut your tongue…." He said in a monotone voice without looking at her, his gazed fix on the night sky.
Tang Mei Yi bites her lower lips in shammed "We…. knew each other from childhood and I have loved you from a long time ago, I don't mean to…..I'm not…"
"When you do bad things never said it is because of love..." Zhao Li Xin glared at Tang Mei Yi viciously "Owned it or like me, embraces it because when I kill you is not because my love for her but is because my anger to myself because I unable to protect her despite all the power I got, I'm powerless!" he emphasized the last word in deep hatred to himself.
Tear roll in Tang Mei Yi eyes, his word twist her heart immensely through all the years she knew Zhao Li Xin never pay her attention but he only ignores him the worst thing he does is ridiculed her or scoffed her but she never saw so much hatred for her in his eyes, her chin trembles she look Zhao Li Xin tearfully "Can't you forgive me, I will never show my face to you again…."
"Mei Yi!" Lu Yao reprimands her disciple, her heart is aching for her "Zhao Li Xin you how could you be so cruel to her, she loves you so much, did you never love her a little for all this time?"
"Forgive? You paid people to raped her….to kill her and then they pierce an arrow through her heart and you asked my forgiveness?" Zhao Li Xin kneels in front of Tang Mei Yi, every word he said to bring a shiver to her spine, more tear fall on her cheeks but Zhao Li Xin face unperturbed he stares at her with his dark, cold and empty eyes are like staring at the doll's eyes.
"Please, I….I love…you" she pleads in utter despair.
"You broke my heart…" Zhao Li Xin said in painful eyes "So, I shall break yours.." the next thing he presses his hand on his chest, for other people it looks like he touch her chest lightly but for high cultivator they could feel an enormous qi gather on his palm when his hand touch his chest his Qi engulf her heart and break it from inside, she feel something squeeze her heart it feel excruciatingly painful she can't even scream only her mouth gasped for air.
And just like Zhao Li Xin said he break her heart 'literally' a second later Tang Mei Yi lifelessly fall on the floor, Lu Yao scream frantically she hold Tang Mei Yi corpses, he calls her name over and over again but Tang Mei Yi has no reaction, Lu Yao cry out her name it's a heart-wrenching scene but Zhao Li Xin stand with expressionless face.
"WHY!" she shouted at Zhao Li Xin "She loves you so much! That woman is just a Bi**ch! She is a Sl*t who can only seduce man how could you…."
Zhao Li Xin slapped her face so hard it makes her slightly flying and fall on the floor with face down again, her lips torn and her cheek swollen with blue and red marks, more blood running out of her mouth, Mong ki gives him handkerchief then he wiped his hand calmly.
"She died because of you, if you didn't tell her to kill my beloved she would not die, I might give her a hard time but I won't kill her not because I like her…..no… don't get me wrong" Zhao Li Xin pulls a stool and then he sat with his leg cross comfortably, she smiles faintly
"She will not like it if I kill people easily and she also worries about my relationship with my master, she worries too much for other people's sake" he stifles.
She look at him in fear this time she has no doubt Zhao Li Xin would kill her disregard whatever relationship she had with Tian Meng Ji, in the past she knew Zhao Li Xin is indifferent and cold man but she never have thought he can be this merciless, she had overestimated his relationship with his Master also his relationship with that woman, she never knew she would invite the devil himself to her front door.
"If she was here, she would beg me to forgive you….she would have said that she was fine so don't make a fuss, she would remain me, don't be crazy….don't be crazy" he mumbling the last word in deep though.
"If you kill me the beastmaster clan will come for you and all the norther clan will go against you" she warns him, this is her last straw to survive.
Zhao Li Xin stares at her in blank expression then her mouth curved upward he make a chilling smile "Let them come…" Zhao Li Xin hits her knee and then she rose from his seat "Kill her and burn this place to the ground!" she said briefly then he walks out of the room.
"Yes, Milord!" Mong Ki nods his head at Zhao Li Xin.
Lu Yao forced herself to stand up then used her spatial ring to bring her sword, she refuses to give in without a fight. When Zhao Li Xin left the room Mong Ki take out his sword and so the other shadow guard but he stops them "This one is mine!"
"You feel so great against injured woman don't you" she mocked him.
Mong Ki sneer "What do you feel when you send a bunch of cultivators to kill a single weak woman?" he laughs at her hypocrisy "Just for you know, I also admire Miss Luo"
"Why? Is she sleep with you too?" she taunt him with an eerie smile, she didn't care anymore with so much injured in her body she can win against someone like Mong Ki who has the same level of cultivation as her.
Mong Ki's expression turns violent and then he chuckles "I will enjoy killing you, Madam Lu" he smiled wickedly.
