But even though Song Jixin was furious, he didn't dare to step forward, nor did he have the courage to look at Li Mubai with the same hateful gaze as before.
Even though Li Mubai was currently facing away from him.
Having already been slapped, he didn't want to make such a mistake again.
One mistake was enough.
He remembered everything that happened last time, including today's events.
He would definitely return the favor.
He promised, he would definitely return it.
————————
On the other side.
After Chen Mu and Chen Ping'an had followed Li Mubai and Zhi Gui for a certain distance, Chen Mu could no longer suppress her curiosity and cautiously asked Li Mubai, "Mubai, why do you treat Song Jixin that way? Do you dislike him?"
"Hmm, I really don't like him!"
Li Mubai smiled and nodded, not denying it.
"But why? What did he do to offend you?" Chen Mu was even more puzzled.
When she was alive, she had also met Song Jixin.
From what she observed, although Song Jixin had some of the arrogance typical of a young nobleman, he didn't exhibit the debauchery often associated with them.
"He hasn't offended me, but I really dislike his way of doing things. Let's put it this way, in the river of time and fate, Song Jixin has tried multiple times to kill your little Ping'an."
"Moreover, from a certain perspective, your little Ping'an initially lost his path to immortality and cut off his cultivation path because of him. Although later on, your little Ping'an managed to restore the bridge to immortality, it was still a journey filled with hardships."
Li Mubai explained calmly.
"Uh..."
Chen Mu was instantly stunned.
At the same time, Chen Ping'an beside her was also equally shocked.
They were both taken aback by what Li Mubai had said.
While they were in shock.
In the classroom, Qi Jingchun also wore a bitter smile.
"It seems that one can indeed observe the river of time, and it might not just be simple observation; it could even be possible to go against the current."
Qi Jingchun said this with a sense of emotion.
Although he could actually do such things.
It wasn't something that could be done easily.
He also didn't dare to act rashly.
Because it involved great karma.
Moreover, he felt helpless about Li Mubai's disregard for consequences.
Revealing heavenly secrets to others also entailed significant karma.
It's truly reckless.
Is he really not afraid that Chen Ping'an's future will become a complete mess?
——————————
"He really wanted to kill me? He even indirectly cut off my path to cultivation?" After a moment of shock, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but ask Li Mubai with a serious expression.
"Yes, that's indeed the case! What, you don't believe me?" Li Mubai chuckled.
"No, how could I not believe it! I'm just very shocked! I have no grievances with him, so how could he do this to me? That's just too despicable..."
Chen Ping'an quickly explained, his brows furrowed, and his expression was quite serious and solemn.
"Because he is a bastard. Although it's said that he is the illegitimate son of the official porcelain supervisor, the official porcelain supervisor has never publicly acknowledged him. He only had people take care of his daily needs and sent him to a place like Mud Bottle Alley, where only the poor would live."
"So, Song Jixin isn't even sure if his father is really the official porcelain supervisor. In a way, he doesn't even know who his father is."
"In such circumstances, he seems to be living quite well, but inside, he feels very empty. He is quite envious of you and is very jealous of you. Furthermore, he has been surrounded by other children who said that despite being a young nobleman, he is actually just an illegitimate child, not even as good as you."
"This has led him to be even more jealous of you and want to kill you."
Li Mubai explained gently.
One must admit, people are indeed very different from one another.
Clearly, Song Jixin's life made many people envious.
Yet this guy was secretly jealous of Chen Ping'an.
And even wanted to get rid of Chen Ping'an.
It's absurd.
"Ah..."
Chen Ping'an's eyes widened.
He almost thought he had misheard.
Not only him, but Chen Mu beside him was also equally astonished.
On the other hand, Zhi Gui remained calm.
This is the root of human malice.
Although not everyone would act this way.
The sheer number of humans ensures that such extreme individuals will appear.
"How could he be jealous of me? I've had such a miserable life!"
Chen Ping'an wore a bitter smile.
First, his father died, and then his mother followed suit.
He began to bear the burden of the family at the age of four.
He started going up the mountain to gather herbs.
He didn't even know how he managed to endure it, yet now Li Mubai was telling him that someone was actually envious of him.
This was simply too unreal.
"Is he sick?" Chen Ping'an said helplessly.
Although he didn't want to curse, the simple and honest nature of the small town meant he had heard plenty of curses.
To say that Chen Ping'an was sick was already quite subtle.
He could easily follow others and curse in a particularly harsh manner.
Because he had an excellent memory.
Those cursing words, after hearing them once, he could never forget.
