Grandpa Mo saw the unwillingness on his grandson's face, and he couldn't help but say a few words of persuasion.
'Little Min, I think this child is quite pitiful. The information I received about his upbringing in the Nine Desires Pavilion says he had been a mute who couldn't think for himself. So, because of his mental state, he couldn't even refuse the Nine Desires Pavilion when they took advantage of his Divine Constitution. He…'
Upon reaching here, Grandpa Mo paused, and his expression changed multiple times, before he let out a sigh and finished his words.
'This child has suffered a lot. Even though he seems quite intelligent in some areas, I can't help but feel he is still somewhat naive. It's very contradictory, but it's as if he's using the brain of a child to think like an adult.'
When Yoon-Min heard his grandfather's words, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he began to ponder.
'The memories I mysteriously received when I was younger were those of my adult self in the future. But because I was a good-for-nothing in that future, I was not entirely focused on the cultivation world of the Upper Circles. However, even then, I still heard rumors about how a person named Young Master Nihility had caused chaos in the Upper Circles by stripping the talents of those Sects and Clans' geniuses. The rumors also describe him as cruel and merciless, and they were confirmed by the fact that he massacred several large and medium-sized Sects and Clans in the Inner Circle, leaving not a single blade of grass on their mountain peaks. Even a few powers in the Main Circle could not remain unscathed from his rampage. If I'm not mistaken, he was only killed after being surrounded by several powerhouses in the Main Circle.'
Yoon-Min looked at Ah Mieu on the bed, and a feeling of apprehension arose in his heart. However, he also felt confusion at the same time, because the current events had completely deviated from the future he knew. Now, that cruel and merciless Young Master Nihility was nothing but a little brat who had come to his Clan to propose a collaboration of some sort. He was even sitting on his bed now, swinging his feet like he didn't have a care in the world. What was cruel and merciless about his personality now?
What was even more unbelievable was that he claimed he was no longer part of the Nine Desires Pavilion. In what world would the Nine Desires Pavilion, which was greedy for everyone's seed, let go of someone with the Heavenly Dao Cauldron Constitution?
Yoon-Min scratched his head. He was unable to figure out why the future had changed so drastically, or why it had changed to this demon visiting his Clan specifically. Ever since he obtained those memories from his adult self in the future, his life has been smooth sailing. He had even managed to guide his Clan to take control of the Eastern District's Transportation Hub, and subsequently the entire Eastern District. He was even in the midst of planting subsidiaries in the other Districts to slowly expand his Han Clan's influence.
However, the sudden appearance of this demon had derailed everything.
Yoon-Min felt like crying. The appearance of this person was like starting a game in a newbie village, only to have a final boss show up to confront you all of a sudden when you were in the middle of grinding low-level monsters to increase your level. How could he not be freaked out and bemoan his bad luck?
Perhaps the only consoling factor was that this final boss was still in its infant stage, and its appearance here was actually to team up with him.
Upon thinking this, Yoon-Min somewhat calmed down. He couldn't let his memories from the future influence his current state of mind.
'It looks like I can't fully rely on those memories anymore.'
After calming down, Yoon-Min began to examine Ah Mieu. This was Young Master Nihility, someone who would become a powerhouse in the future. Perhaps it was not so bad to cooperate with him. However, judging by his age and demeanor, he was far from being a cruel and merciless villain.
'In those memories, when he upturned Pangu City, I had just turned twenty-one. So, judging by his appearance, which was that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old now, it would be another four years before he becomes the Young Master Nihility in my memories.'
Yoon-Min suddenly clicked his tongue.
'He's just a brat who hasn't started his cultivation, yet you're telling me that in four years, he became so powerful that it took several powerhouses in the Main Circle surrounding him to kill him? Just how many people's talents would he need to steal to achieve such a cultivation speed? What a monster.'
However, Yoon-Min also noted another detail. Ah Mieu's behavior right now was simply too different from his memories, which meant two things.
One, he was acting like a pig to eat the tiger. Or two, something occurred to him in the future that drastically changed his personality to that of a bloodthirsty fiend.
Suddenly, Yoon-Min recalled his grandfather's words from before.
'Indeed, his experience makes him somewhat pitiful.'
Yoon-Min pouted. His attitude towards Ah Mieu had begun to change slightly. Judging by what he went through in the Nine Desires Pavilion, perhaps it was not surprising that he became like that in the future.
'Well, perhaps I acted too harshly before because of the bad perception I have of him due to those memories. At least right now, he's just a brat pretending to be all mysterious.'
After thinking that, Yoon-Min glanced down at his left hand, the one he had used to lift Ah Mieu's hair away from his face.
The main reason why his attitude towards Ah Mieu had shifted slightly was that he agreed with his grandfather's words. Despite this brat's outwardly calm attitude, he seemed fragile inside.
Yoon-Min especially felt this was the case because of Ah Mieu's reaction when he pinned him down. His body had gone completely rigid underneath him. Also, when he swept back his hair to see his face, he had squeezed his eyes shut.
Yoon-Min didn't notice then, but looking back on it now, it was obvious the kid had thought he was going to hit him, so he closed his eyes. Only after he swept back his hair rather than hit him did he relax and open his eyes.
Yoon-Min really didn't want to imagine what had happened for him to have such an instinctive reaction. But he couldn't stop the stuffy feeling that was slowly appearing in his chest.
'Those Nine Desires Pavilion bastards! How dare they do this to such a cute and innocent kid? Just you wait until I get my hands on you lecherous bastards, I'll cut down every last one of you!'
Yoon-Min clenched his fists and roared in his heart to vent his pent-up emotions.
