Looking at Xiao Heng, Old Yao smiled faintly, as though he had long guessed that Xiao Heng would make such a decision. It had to be said that his two disciples were extremely alike in certain ways. Both rather liked taking risks. Though they had no choice in the matter, that did not change their natures. Once they seized even the slightest opportunity, they were unwilling to let go.
It was innocence, and it was arrogance. Put nicely, it was the recklessness of youth. But had he not been the same back then? Otherwise, he would not have left the Yao Clan in a fit of anger.
