Chapter 338 - Who Are You?
Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
Finally, Tianxiang Zi had still left away.
After she left, Long couldnât help but let out a belly laugh.
Shi gave him a disdainful look.
âIs that so funny?â
âOf course! Thatâs so funny!â Long laughed out loud while pointing at Xu You with his trembling finger, âThis boy is so amazing!â
âBoy?â Xu You narrowed his eyes with discontent, âHey, dude. Iâm not a boy!â
Long shook his head, laughing, âNah, Nah. I didnât mean that. Of course, youâre not a boy. You made her have nothing to say and declared your ownership to Fang Shuoyang loudly. That is not what a boy would do.â
Xu You, â...â
Hearing Longâs joking, Fang Shuoyang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
However, Xu You was quite unsatisfied with what Long had said. He yelled madly, âI did that designedly! Designedly!â
âYeah, yeah. I know, I know.â Xu Youâs reaction made Long almost laugh out again, âOf course I know you did that designedly, my dear brother, Xu You. Youâre so funny!â
Xu You, â...â
Xu You really didnât know what he was supposed to say right now. In the end, he had to turn around and go away, leaving them behind.
But Fang Shuoyang was still wearing a smile like he was in a good mood.
After Xu You disappear from his sight, Long then coughed slightly and restrained himself a bit.
âSpeaking of Tianxiang Zi, Fang Shuoyang, how do you think about her?â
Fang Shuoyang thought for a while and then said slowly, âWe may use her, yet cannot trust her.â
Long turned to look at Shi, âQingzhou, and you?â
Shi responded flatly, âI agree with Fang Shuoyang.â
Long touched his chin, âWell... Since she came for cooperation and she have a common enemy with us, maybe... she can do us a favor.â
Shi looked at Long and asked, âA favor? Whatâs it?â
Long grinned, âYou tell me? Of course... to kill a person for us.â
Fang Shuoyang then asked, âWho?â
Long glanced at Fang Shuoyang as if he was a fool, âOf course our target in the next plan.â
Fang Shuoyang, â...â
Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, âYou want her to kill the third prince?â
âYep.â Long smiled gently, âItâs a good idea, right?â
Shi dropped into silence and thought for a while. After a short space, he nodded and said, âIt does is a good idea and worth a shot.â
Staring at them, Fang Shuoyang asked, âThen what should we do?â
âWe need to do nothing, and just tell her that she has to do one thing we require her to do if she wants to gain our trust.â
There was something quite knavish in this way, yet Fang Shuoyang had to admit that this way was feasible. First, it could help them to sound out Tianxiang Zi. Then, they also could know Tianxiang Ziâs actual strength and her sincerity in this way.
Fang Shuoyang nodded to show her approval, and then he said, âSince we all agreed with that, I will send someone to inform Tianxiang Zi.â
âOkay. Go ahead.â Long waved his hand to Fang Shuoyang.
After Fang left, Shi gave Long a glance.
âAre you sure that youâre going to let her do that?â
âYeah. Did I just say that?â Long looked at Shi and walked to him, holding his hand.
âWhatâs up? Qingzhou? Do you think I am up to something?â
Staring at Longâs eyes, Shi said indifferently, âYes, I do.â
Immediately, Long screwed up his mouth with a grievance, âYou hurt my feelings, Qingzhou. Your words made me heartbroken.â
With a sneer, Shi shook off Longâs hand, âIf I guessed right, your purpose is twofold â Killing two birds with one stone, right?â
âEm? What do you mean? I donât understand, Qingzhou.â Long blinked his eyes and asked innocently.
Facing his innocent look, Shi smiled slightly and said, âIt will be great if Tianxiang Zi kills the third prince successfully. But if she fails, she will be a scapegoat and a cover of our action, right?â
âWell.â Long took a cold breath, âQingzhou, you know me so much that I even get a bit scared.â
âBut I still donât understand...â Ignoring Longâs surprise, Shi Qingzhou continued to say, âTianxiang Zi wonât let us know her plan and the time she takes action. Then, how can we take the opportunity timely?â
âWell...â Long gave him a mysterious look, âQingzhou, it seems that youâre getting into a blind alley now.â
âEm? What do you mean?â Shi raised his eyebrows.
Long pulled his hand again.
âQingzhou, we do have no idea about Tianxiang Ziâs plan, but we know where her target is.â
Shiâs eyes lighted up, âYou mean... that weâre just gonna wait for her to come?â
âBingo!â Long smiled, âWeâre just gonna wait for her to come.â
Longâs words made Shi suddenly be enlightened. With a smile, Shi patted on his forehead, âYouâre right! No matter what, Tianxiang Zi will take action sooner or later. Once she makes it, we donât need to do anything. Even she fails, she still can cause a mess in the Palace of the third prince. As long as we keep our eyes on the third prince and wait for her to appear, we can seize the chance in time to take actions.â
âExactly!â Smilingly, Long leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. âSo you finally straightened out your thinking?â
âEm.â Shi nodded dumbly and shook off Longâs hand again, then he said, âWell, we should leave now.â
Long suddenly felt a bit upset as he heard what Shi said, âQingzhou, you donât like me anymore.â
Shi looked at him, âWhat makes you get this conclusion?â
With a pair of sad eyes, Long said as his hand rose, reminding Shi Qingzhou that Shi shook off his hand just now. âThis. My hand.â Long said in a whining voice
With his mouth twitched slightly, Shi said helplessly, âYou think too much.â
âNo, I donât.â Long became more plaintive.
Having no idea what he could say, in the end, Shi just ran away.
Looking at Shiâs fleeing back, Long couldnât help but smile.
His Qingzhou... did become more and more adorable!
Thinking of this, Long also went out slowly.
Then, Long walked to his room.
It was true that the plan was feasible, but only by putting it into action, can he really realize it. Moreover, he still needed to perfect the details of the plan.
As soon as he came back to the room, Long called Ying Feng over.
After a discussion, Ying Feng secretly left the Palace of the fourth prince...
As darkness fell, Long stayed in the Palace.
Meanwhile, Xu You went out to keep an appointment, with Shi followed behind him as a guardian.
Liu Suifeng was dogging their steps secretly...
It said the location of the appointment was in the eastern suburb of the imperial city on the note they had got. The place seemed to be utterly bereft of human life because it closed to the mountain.
In this respect, there was something in common in the geographical conditions between the Eastern Darkness and Tianlong Dynasty.
How was going on the Northern Barbarians...
Xu You now rode along the dark street. Although he rode a horse, he moved forward at a low speed.
Shi followed behind him.
Almost half of an hour later, they reached the vicinity of the address.
There was a narrow lane to the destination. And on the ends of the lane was exactly the place of the appointment.
It was an abandoned pavilion.
Xu You said in a low voice, âitâs up there. Shall we go there right now?â
Shi nodded solemnly, âSure. Letâs go.â
Nothing more to say, Xu You turned to the path.
Still, Xu You moved forward in a low speed, unhurriedly.
And it even took almost a quarter of an hour on the way for him until Xu You arrived at the pavilion.
But it only spent him almost half of an hour from the Palace to here.
Finally, the abandoned pavilion appeared in his eyes.
Xu You looked around and found nobody.
âNobody there.â Xu You said.
âIâll go and have a check. Master.â Shi responded.
Xu You nodded in agreement, âAlright. Go ahead.â
Then Shi walked away, seemed like he had left Xu You alone.
After Shi left, Xu You went to the pavilion slowly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The abandoned pavilion reared up against the night sky, looked very sepulchral.
Xu You frowned, wondering whether he should sit down or not. Suddenly, someone sneaked up on him from behind with a sharp attack of his palm.
Not like Long, Xu You had spent more time on Martial Arts, so naturally, he had better cultivation.
Thus, Xu You got a quick reaction and jumped forward, barely avoiding the sneak attack.
The raiders smiled nastily,
âYou do have a quick response, right? Mr. Xu.â
Xu You stood on the other side of the pavilion, staring at the man in black who suddenly appeared.
He wore a mask, so Xu You couldnât saw his face.
âWho are you? Why did you ask me to come here?â Xu You asked prudently.
At this time, he had no idea where Shi was. Since Shi Qingzhou left to have a check, he hadnât come back yet.
Facing the killer alone, Xu You stayed calm with no fear.
âWho I am? You will know it soon. But I have to say that youâre so brave and dare to come here only with one guardian.â
Xu You sneered, âIt was you who gave me the note?â
âNot exactly! I just tied to tempt you. But I never thought that there is a secret on you. Such being the case, youâd better speak it out right now. Otherwise, Iâll show you no mercy.â
