Chapter 246: Do You Trust Him That Much? (II)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
âThatâs right. So I guess when he goes back to the imperial city, those who are involved in this will all be killed,â Ouyang said in a deep voice.
âLong Xiaoyuan⦠is with him,â Liu said hoa.r.s.ely.
âRight,â Ouyang said gently, âIf there is anyone who can prevent s.h.i.+ Qingzhou from going mad, that man must be Long Xiaoyuan. At least he can tell s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to restrain himself.â
Liu hurriedly said, âI need to have a good talk with him.â
Ouyang shook his head and said, âs.h.i.+ Qingzhou found the second poisonous insect and planned to put it in Long Xiaoyuanâs body.â
Liu was stunned. âWhat? The second poisonous insect? How could it be?â
âHe got it from Tianji Sect,â Ouyang said calmly, âThe poisonous insect is very helpful to its first master and it can resist all kinds of poisons. He wants to put it in Long Xiaoyuanâs body. You can see how important Long Xiaoyuan is in his heart. But⦠do you know what he said to me?â
Liu was slightly stunned. âWhat did he say?â He had a feeling that it wasnât something good.
Sure enough, Ouyang said, âHe said if we tell Long Xiaoyuan about those things he doesnât want him to know, including what has happened and what will happen, heâll make one of us become the second master of the poisonous insect.â
The second master of the poisonous insect⦠was just like himâ¦
Liu was shocked. âHe⦠he really said that?â
âNot only did he say that, but Iâm sure that he can do it. Heâs not threatening us, but⦠ordering us⦠Do you understand what I mean?â
Liu was completely silent. Of course he understood what that meant.
s.h.i.+ Qingzhouâ¦
No wonder his Brother Ouyang kept saying that man was horrible!
Now that he had said such things, everybody would be scared of him.
âWhy did he deliberately let you hurt him?â
âI donât know. He came to attack me that night, but he must know that he couldnât kill me. As for why he didnât ask the Shadow Guardians to help him and why he deliberately made me hurt him in the end, I really donât knowâ¦â
After a short silence, Liu said, âIs it because he came to his senses at that momentâ¦â
Ouyang shook his head. âMy intuition told me he didnât. I think he was very sober that night.â
Liu stopped talking.
Ouyang sighed. âSuifeng, we can do nothing to help s.h.i.+ Qingzhou now.â
Liu pursed his lips. âBut Long Xiaoyuan⦠Can he really control s.h.i.+ Qingzhou?â
âNo one can control s.h.i.+ Qingzhou now. He can only be influenced. If Long Xiaoyuan can influence him, maybe things will not go to a dead end. If he canât⦠I think the nation will be in chaos.â
Liu closed his eyes and then opened them again. âs.h.i.+ Qingzhou has killed too many people and lots of clans are involved in this. So itâs possible that the nation will be in chaos. However, in the final a.n.a.lysis, those people brought the trouble on themselves. Everyone should pay for their choice.â
âThat being said, itâs still a serious problem. Weâre just some martial artists and itâs no big deal if we kill some evil people. However, the two of them are the most honorable men in this nation. They not only represent themselves, but also all the people here. If the nation is turbulent, n.o.body can be free from trouble.â
Liu looked at Ouyang and said slowly, âMy intuition tells me that Long Xiaoyuan wonât let that happen. Brother Ouyang, heâs the ruler of this nation, so he wonât allow s.h.i.+ Qingzhou to go that far. Maybe s.h.i.+ Qingzhou doesnât want to make compromises, but the emperor wonât let things run wild. He needs to do that, because he wonât make s.h.i.+ become a sinner. Some people deserve to die, but some people donât. Whatâs more, Long understands that his previous actions have forced some people to the opposite of himself. Itâs the fault of both sides, so heâll give them a way out.â
Hearing those words, Ouyang looked at Liu strangely.
Liu was very confused. âWhatâs wrong?â
Ouyang said slowly, âDo you trust him that much?â
Liu laughed. âDonât be jealous. I trust him because heâs the emperor.â
Ouyang narrowed his eyes. âOh⦠You trust him.â
Liu broke out into a cold sweat. âWe should trust the emperor, shouldnât we? Brother Ouyang, donât you think he is a qualified emperor now? At least, he treats the common people very well. He doesnât put on airs and also has a good characterâ¦â
âYou have such a good impression of him.â Ouyang looked at Liu and smiled significantly.
When Liu heard that, sweat rolled down his forehead.
âBrother Ouyang⦠please donât say that. You scared me.â Liu forced a smile.
Ouyang snorted. âHumph.â
Liu got very nervous. âBrother Ouyangâ¦â
âI almost forgot to ask you. You and Long Xiaoyuan stayed together for more than twenty days. It must be exciting, right?â
âExciting?â Liuâs eyes widened. âWhat do you mean by that?â
Ouyang sneered. âDonât you understand? For more than twenty days, you stayed together in the wild and both of you like men. Humph, who knows if you haveâ¦â
Ouyang didnât finish his words, but he expressed that through his eyes.
Hearing that, Liu immediately said, âBrother Ouyang, how can you say that? Youâre the only one in my heart. Donât you know that? Youâre the only one I love. Iâ¦â
âIs that all?â Ouyang interrupted, âYou can only describe your love for me with such plain language?â
Liu felt helpless. âBrother Ouyangâ¦â
âDonât call me that. Weâre not that close.â Ouyang sneered.
The corners of Liuâs mouth twitched. âBrother Ouyangâ¦â
Ouyang wrapped the quilt around himself. âAll right, you can go now. Donât be an eyesore.â
Liu pointed at his own nose unbelievably. âWhat? Iâm an eyesore?â
âYes, you are! You are an eyesore!â
Liuâs face darkened. âBrother Ouyang!â
âStop it! Just go away! Iâm going to sleep.â
Liu took a deep breath and compromised. âWell, Brother Ouyang, you can sleep now. Iâll wait for you to wake up.â
Ouyang snorted. He ignored Liu and closed his eyesâ¦
Liu had no choice but to keep silent and sighed inwardly.
