Chapter 51

“He asked his daughter why she wasn’t willing to let me marry her and why she wasn’t willing to let me become the leader of the Paper Sect . He said that if she stayed with me, the sect would always belong to the Gu’s,” the hoodlum continued .

But Mu Yi also understood why Gu Ren was nicknamed hoodlum though .

“But she said that she didn’t like me because I was ugly, hahaha!”

The hoodlum started laughing frantically and mockingly, but he was actually very pitiful and sad .

Mu Yi did understand why he had chosen such a path, he was unfortunate in life .

“I had always thought that my master and his daughter would never abandon me . I had thought that they would never think that I was ugly . I had never thought that I would be wrong . Even my master said to his daughter that even though I was ugly, I was very talented . He recruited me because I was talented . He used to say I was an incredible paper artist, which was why he wanted me to marry his daughter,” the hoodlum said . He looked furious when he thought about the past .

Mu Yi didn’t know what to say because it was an insoluble problem . Nobody could help him . He had to come back to his senses on his own .

Mu Yi was convinced that his master had recruited him because he was honest and took his art seriously . The master’s daughter probably hadn’t meant to hurt his feelings . If she had detested him, she would have detested him from the beginning, especially since they were both young .

But she had tried to find an excuse to go against her father’s will . She hadn’t thought she would hurt his feelings and that he would choose such a path as a result .

Everything was due to the hoodlum’s past . He was a traumatized person and had never forgotten the horrors he had gone through when he was young . And now, because of his trauma, he had done something which he couldn’t take back .

“On that night, I escaped and got really drunk in a bar . When the waitress realized I had no money to pay, she insulted me . She said I was hideous,” the hoodlum continued .

“But then I punched a hole through her chest, and as I felt the blood dripping from my hand, I had a unique feeling . I was happy, especially when I saw her facial expression . I was bewitched . Therefore, I not only killed the waitress but also her boss . ”

“I was standing in a pool of blood, and my master and fellow disciples found me . I still remember their facial expressions . They were shocked and scared, and it was as if they didn’t recognize me anymore . They also looked extremely disappointed . ”

“I thought they wouldn’t forgive me even though we were so close, but suddenly, they helped me escape from the scene . ”

“When I told my master my story, he didn’t insult me . He took me to a room and forbade me from coming out . ”

“After that, things got worse . New has spread of what I did and there were people looking for me . A warrior even came, he was a noble . He demanded that my master bring me out to be arrested, but because my master refused, the warrior attacked and injured my master . After that, he attacked my fellow disciples and my master’s daughter . He was incredibly strong and in the end, he found me . ”

“He wanted to kill me, but my master sacrificed himself to allow me time to escape,” the hoodlum said . As he was talking, tears began rolling down his face .

“I was scared, so I escaped . I know I’m a coward, but I didn’t want to die,” the hoodlum continued .

“My master and my fellow disciples tried to protect me, so I managed to escape . After that, I shut myself away and lived a private life . When I got news about the warrior, I went back to the sect, and I only saw my master and his daughter’s memorial tablets . ”

“They died to save me,” the hoodlum said while crying loudly . Mu Yi felt sad and even started sniffling as he felt bad for the hoodlum .

“One of my fellow disciples survived, but was missing a leg . The noble warrior had cut off his leg during the battle . ”

“When he saw me, he didn’t blame me . He just told me that my master and his daughter were not angry and did not blame me for what happened . She was also sorry for hurting me . She said she didn’t mean what she had said . She had never thought that I was ugly,” the hoodlum said . His voice now seemed warm and gentle .

“But it was too late . I already hated myself for what happened . I wanted to die, but first I would avenge them,” the hoodlum said . His facial expressions kept changing . At one moment he was laughing, a few seconds later he was crying, and then he looked furious .

“Even though I couldn’t compete with the warrior, I could kill his family and everyone close to him . I waited until he left his family alone and then I killed everyone in his family, children, parents, everyone . I killed them by lowly flaying their skins from their body . I watched on as they suffered in agony . I listened to their horrible shrieks and it made me happy . Since I killed that waitress and her boss, there was a demon that awoke in my heart . Without my master and his daughter, I couldn’t control that side of my personality anymore . ”

“After flaying their skin, I used a secret technique of my sect . It would preserve them in the exact state they died . Do you know what the technique is called? It’s called Painted Skin . They would look exactly the same, but have evil intentions on the warrior . It’s one the most powerful techniques of my sect . ”

“Since they killed my master and his daughter, I used a technique of the Paper Sect to avenge them,” the hoodlum said while laughing evilly . However, you could hear the loneliness in that laugh .

“When the warrior returned home and saw his family members, who I had used the Painted Skin technique on, he was almost driven insane . Unfortunately, he didn’t lose his mind, so I couldn’t kill him and had to escape . However, from that day, he’s been hunting me down . Even though he almost found me at one point, I still managed to escape . ”

“Finally, I leveled up during those years and reached the second stage, and because my talent is quite good, my strength continued to grow . ” When I found that warrior again, he had remarried . He had a beautiful wife, so I killed her using the Painted Skin technique, but that time, I didn’t escape . I waited for him in ambush . ”

“The ambush succeeded, and I managed to kill him, but he injured me causing my cultivation to drop,” the hoodlum said . He suddenly raised his head and shouted, “Master, sister, I avenged your death!”
