Chapter 002 Witness

The sudden chill on the back made the towering tree raise its head abruptly, sensing the danger of being targeted by a ferocious beast.

As the gaze shifted slightly, a cold and murderous intent flickered within the pitch-black pupils. Unintentionally, they collided with a pair of calm and serene ink-black eyes.

At that moment, the heart of the towering tree sank.

Was this the scene of the first crime committed after his rebirth, and he was caught red-handed like this?

The towering tree felt somewhat speechless, but not particularly frightened. His pair of pitch-black eyes gazed calmly and motionlessly at the other person.

Across the half-ruined artificial channel, their eyes met and locked.

On one side of the channel, there was a desolate muddy road with shallow pits. On the other side, the youth stood amidst a realm filled with heavy yellow soil and swirling dust, as if in the prime of his life.

He wore a thin white robe, loosely draped without being tied at the waist, and his black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying and fluttering with the breeze.

The youth's sleeves were casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing skin that had been tanned to a bronze color by the sun.

As the towering tree looked over, he saw the gentle breeze lightly tousling the youth's slightly disheveled hair. The bright and deep phoenix-like eyes exuded a dazzling luster with each glance, like a deep pool of darkness.

However, he didn't know how long the youth had been standing there, exuding an extraordinary and handsome appearance, like the scorching sun burning brightly. Behind him, a group of young men in black short jackets followed.

Amidst the thick yellow sand and swirling dust, the slender and handsome youth in white, untouched by the wind and sand, naturally became an unignorable sight. It seemed that as long as he stood there, everything in the world lost its color, completely becoming a backdrop to his excellence and beauty.

The towering tree could see that beneath the seemingly calm and serene gaze of the youth, there was a hidden sharpness that was almost unbearable to look at, instantly evoking the image of a cunning and agile leopard on the grassland, capable of pouncing fiercely and biting your throat without warning, creating an overwhelming sense of danger.

Of course, if you judge people by their appearance, you will lose completely! Having lived two lives, if the towering tree couldn't understand the ways of the world, then it would truly be a wasted life.

Instinctively sensing a hint of "dangerous aura" from the unknown youth in front of him, the towering tree immediately withdrew his hands, releasing the firm grip on Wu Yanzhen, and expressionlessly glanced at the other side once again.

Then, he calmly adjusted his clothes and smoothed his slightly disheveled hair, before turning around and leisurely walking away with his hands in his pockets.

Behind the youth in white, it took quite some time for the group of black-clad young men to regain their breath.

One of them rode forward on horseback, looking at the disappearing figure of the towering tree with a bewildered expression. "Master, that little girl just now, was she trying to kill someone?"

This question was obviously redundant, as everyone had just witnessed it.

The youth in white turned his head, a hint of a mocking smile appearing on his beautiful and elegant face.

With sharp eyes like a hawk, the black-clad young man stood straight, his face somewhat embarrassed as he raised his hand to touch his nose. "That's what it seems like."

From hitting the fat woman's head with a hard stone to pushing her down the slope, the little girl did it all with exceptional skill, and her expression was eerily calm, almost to the point of being chilling.

Although they ultimately failed due to being discovered, considering her age, she was able to be so ruthless.

Moreover, her actions and the power she controlled seemed somewhat unusual.

Most importantly, after realizing that they had witnessed the entire process of her committing the crime, she was able to walk away calmly as if nothing had happened.

What kind of child is this? Could she be a monster?

"She remained expressionless throughout, with a calm and numb personality," another black-clad youth stepped forward to say.

It must be that they didn't handle the situation properly, which led to them witnessing an attempted murder in this seemingly ordinary small mountain village.
