Nangong Xue said coldly, "If it's not you, then who is it? I should've known what kind of person you are. You're the second-in-command of a bandit's lair, what kind of character can you have? I always wanted to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf, but it turns out … no one misjudged your value, it's just that you deserve to be in such a lowly position. I was wrong about you. "
Shangguan Yaohua heard her sad tone and was furious. He pointed at Young Master Ping and said through gritted teeth, "Fine, fine, you'd rather believe him than me! I don't need your fake sympathy. You're good, you're really good … I'm leaving! Is that not enough? "He turned around and rushed out.
Young Master Ping looked at Nangong Xue and said with a bitter smile, "It's inevitable that there will be some friction when interacting with each other. Don't be angry with him, maybe … he didn't choose his words carefully? I'll go and chase him back. "Nangong Xue said unhappily," Chase what? He's the one who's being unreasonable! Young Master Ping, this is really … hard to explain. I should apologize to you on his behalf. "
Young Master Ping said lightly, "Don't say anymore, I know. He was the one who hired those assassins, right? He's just venting his anger because he's not feeling well. Anyway, it's not that serious. If it can make him feel better, then let him be. "
Nangong Xue felt ashamed and grateful. She said, "Hua's temper is like that. He doesn't even recognize his own family when he's rude and unreasonable. He didn't mean to make things difficult for you … just from this alone, he's narrow-minded and his character is far inferior to yours."
Young Master Ping smiled and said, "Miss, you flatter me. Men are always vain. It's normal for men to make enemies out of intruders in order to protect their own reputation. Don't be angry with him later, we can talk it over. "
Shangguan Yaohua rushed out of the guest room and rushed downstairs. He staggered and almost fell down a few times. As soon as he stepped out of the inn, he felt the cold wind caressing his face, but his heart gradually softened. He thought to himself, "How should I deal with this matter in a moment of anger? Ah Xue was too naive and always liked to believe others easily. As her companion, he should help her see clearly. How could he throw a tantrum? Now, it must be what Young Master Ping wants … "
Moreover, leaving Nangong Xue alone with that treacherous villain, who was hiding his true strength, was really hard to be at ease. However, he was extremely arrogant. If he couldn't find a way out, he definitely wouldn't turn back. He deliberately slowed down his pace, waiting for someone to pull him back. At that time, he could take the opportunity to throw a tantrum. In the end, he would pretend to be condescending and giving alms, so that he could redeem himself. With every step she took, her heart grew colder. She was afraid that Nangong Xue would also be ruthless. Since neither side was willing to compromise, this stalemate would create a fisherman like Young Master Ping.
After walking for about five or six li, they reached the end of the street. Suddenly they heard hurried footsteps behind them. In the quiet night, the footsteps were rustling. Presumably that person's lightness kungfu was superb. Plus, he revealed himself a little bit, so that he would know where he was. Someone with this kind of martial art skill would come and play a joke on him. He stood still silently. Sure enough, Young Master Ping caught up with him. He lightly patted his shoulder twice. His expression was very casual. He laughed and said, "What kind of small matter is this? Is it worth Brother throwing a tantrum and running away? It looks like your anger is very big. "
Shangguan Yaohua knew perfectly well that he was the one who stirred up the matter just now. Listening to his mocking and ridiculing remarks, he acted as if he had nothing to do with it. Her anger that had just been extinguished was instantly reignited. She coldly said, "I don't need you to shed crocodile tears. I don't want to see you put on a show."
Young Master Ping's expression was still gentle. He laughed and said, "I don't understand what you mean. Just now you had a dispute with that girl for no reason and you were unhappy. But you can't be like a mad dog and blindly bite people. When a girl throws a tantrum, she is waiting for you to give in to her. Looking at how handsome you are, I thought you were a distinguished and elegant young master. You must have played with girls for a long time and must be very experienced. How can you not understand these principles? It looks like you are still very inexperienced. "Although he was smiling, his words were sharp.
Shangguan Yaohua was furious. She suddenly turned around and faced him face to face. She said, "Don't try to fool me. You can deceive Ah Xue but you can't deceive me. I don't know who you are, but I know that you deliberately created an opportunity and used the noble attitude of a benefactor to force us to travel together. From the beginning, you didn't have good intentions. Just because I found out a little about your evil plot, you wanted to reject me wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, everything is not as simple as you think. You are the subordinate of the Seven Demons. There is no need to quibble. Just answer me directly, yes or no. "
Young Master Ping spread out his hands. His gentleness had disappeared, but his smile did not diminish. It was just that at this moment, he seemed to have a card up his sleeve. He was calm and disdainful of his enemy. He said, "I see. A few days ago when I was talking to my servant, you must have eavesdropped on it. At first, I wanted to leave you some face, but you didn't want to. Eavesdropping on someone's wall isn't something to be proud of, is it? How are you more honorable than me? "
Shangguan Yaohua bit her lower lip and said stiffly, "So what if I am? Otherwise, how would I know that you have evil intentions? I'll peel off your skin and leave you with only your skin left. How can you talk about being honorable? I'm not one of those righteous heroes who pretend to be righteous. I don't care about empty reputation. I care more about my life. In life, there are things that should be done and things that should not be done. "
Young Master Ping laughed and clapped. "Very good, well said! Since you are so straightforward, then I'll be frank with you. I did get close to you under the orders of the Seven Evil Spirits. However, with his status, he is not fit to be my superior. I am also not his subordinate. As for the relationship between us, I'll leave it to you to slowly guess. Since I've said it, I might as well say it thoroughly. Otherwise, I'll hang you in the air and cause trouble again in a few days. Not only that, those assassins just now were hired by me to put on a show. Didn't you want to test me? But you were worried that you would make that little girl angry, so you hesitated. Being too wishy-washy won't make it big. So I came to help you make a decision. What do you think of the result? The result seems to be unexpectedly good. Look, you still dare to call yourselves loyal and righteous. Using this weakness, if you really want to sow discord, it will be as easy as blowing off dust. It's so easy that even I feel it's too boring! Otherwise, if you left, our game would be over. Why would I chase after you? Now that I've invited you back, it's not to create a threat for myself. It's because I'm confident that I can win! You're just a chess piece left on the chessboard for me to manipulate. "
Hearing his words, Shangguan Yaohua's heart thumped wildly. When a big secret that he had been looking forward to day and night was finally revealed in front of him without reservation, and it was also admitted by the protagonist himself, how could this mixture of sorrow and joy be described with words?
But when she heard Young Master Ping's arrogant words, the ambition to compete with him rose in her heart. She sneered, "Who said that I'm going to run away? You're wrong. I've never been a loyal and righteous person. For the sake of the big picture, I can also sacrifice some small benefits. This arm, I used to be too embarrassed to talk about it … "
He pulled up his empty sleeve and shook it in a self-deprecating manner, saying, "I chopped it off myself without even blinking an eye. If you think that I'm a weak little sheep, then you're wrong. Maybe you don't know my previous identity. But no matter where you are, you should have heard of the Wulin's number one underworld gang, the Qing Tian Village. Even your master, the Seven Malevolent Demons, was not as famous as them. I'm afraid that you'll be scared to death if I tell you about my position in the village. To tell you the truth, I left the inn because I knew you wouldn't let the game end. You would definitely come and beg me. I could feel the sense of victory from stepping on you. It was worth it for me to suffer this injustice for nothing. I've always wanted to find out your identity. You know this, so I used a little trick to get you to admit it. You seem to have a slight advantage in this play, but in reality, the final winner is me. "
Young Master Ping laughed and said, "Interesting, very interesting! You're really a friend that makes me happy! Qing Tian Village, right? Of course I've heard of it. Isn't it the 'legend' from six years ago? Today, they were destroyed in such a miserable state. The Cruel Malefic Star overturned them without spending a single soldier. You, the Second Master of the Cheng Family, added fuel to the fire. You destroyed the base of the Taihang Mountain in a timely manner and followed the imperial court. How proud do you think you are? The name of the Green Sky Stockade was simply a joke when it was mentioned! Hmph, so what if you make me admit it? That's nothing but a worthless conclusion based on your wild guesses. Other than that, the situation is still the same as before. Nothing has changed! After this lesson, that little girl will have a deep impression of your narrow-mindedness. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of her again, you'll only be looking for trouble. At the same time, I'm very grateful that you're willing to build a reputation for free for me. As for who I am, you'll find out sooner or later. I think it's more interesting to unravel a great mystery with your own hands. "
Shangguan Yaohua was shocked to hear that he could accurately identify him and knew that he was the former Cheng Jiahua. Then, he thought that this kid was well-informed. Since he wanted to get close to him, he must have investigated their past in detail to establish an invincible position. If that's the case, I can't lose to him in terms of momentum. He sneered and said, "Don't act like an idiot who only knows how to boast. We still don't know who will have the last laugh. "
Young Master Ping rolled his eyes and put an arm around his shoulder. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll make this bet with you. It's just that since I was little, other than when I was just born, I've never experienced what it's like to cry. What do you think? Do you want to go back with me and hide by my side at all times? Then you can find clues to expose my scheme and show off in front of that little girl, like a hero saving the damsel in distress? "
Shangguan Yaohua said, "You don't have to worry about me. Go back, of course I'll go back! Since you're so sincere in your invitation, how can I not accept your kindness? "He secretly calculated in his heart. If he was willing to admit it, it would not be completely useless. Then he would be able to escape the predicament of fumbling around in the dark. But with a direction to follow, he did not believe that he would not give himself away.
The two of them returned to the inn together. Nangong Xue's attitude was cold. Shangguan Yaohua pretended to be close to Young Master Ping. They talked and laughed, saying that it was all a misunderstanding. Henceforth the three of them had a tacit understanding and no one brought up the matter of the assassin again.
During the journey, Shangguan Yaohua saw Young Master Ping and Nangong Xue behaving intimately. Although he felt as if his heart was soaked in a jar of vinegar, he always warned himself that 'a little impatience spoils a great plan'. Only when he exposed Young Master Ping's hypocrisy would he be truly satisfied. Before that, he had to keep a low profile and bide his time, keeping his mouth shut would be the best option.
Nangong Xue was originally very soft-hearted. Seeing Shangguan Yaohua really changed and no longer mocked Young Master Ping, she thought that Young Master Ping was muddle-headed at that time. Now that he finally recognized his mistake and repented, she was very happy. The three of them maintained peace on the surface, but in their hearts they all had different thoughts. Perhaps in this complicated psychological battle, Nangong Xue was the most comfortable.
