Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 111: She Is Your Weakness

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. What do you plan to do with this little girl?” Tie Butian gave Chu Yang a knowing look.

“Let’s leave the palace first.” Chu Yang bowed to Du Shiqing and said, “Mr. Du, thank you. I owe you another favor.”

Chu Yang's words were quite subtle. Owing a favor... it seemed like a common statement, but even Du Shiqing didn’t know that this time, Chu Yang had left him a chance for redemption when facing an irreversible calamity in the future!

Chu Yang felt no guilt; Du Shiqing had saved Mo Qingwu once, which Chu Yang would definitely remember. Moreover, Du Shiqing was an elder who commanded his respect...

Du Shiqing chuckled and waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all.

After leaving the palace, Tie Butian looked at Chu Yang, who was holding the little girl as if she were a treasure, and couldn’t help but frown. “Your Royal Highness, although I know you may not appreciate it, I must remind you that this little girl could very well become your weakness.”

Chu Yang furrowed his brows and looked up at Tie Butian, asking darkly, “What do you mean?”

“I can see that you truly care for this little girl. But if this affection shows on the outside and is discovered by the spies of Diwu Qingrou…” Tie Butian said lightly, “I’m afraid your feelings for her will end up harming her! Brother Chu, be careful!”

“Indeed.” Chu Yang shivered and suddenly realized this point. Given his current status as the sworn enemy of Diwu Qingrou, whose methods were unscrupulous, she really might do something like that. He couldn’t help but cast a deep glance at Tie Butian. “Thank you for the reminder!”

However, regarding the guilt and longing he felt for Mo Qingwu, even if Chu Yang were to act heartlessly, seeing the greatest motivation and concern of his new life in her, how could he not care for her?

Sitting in Tie Butian's carriage, Chu Yang's brows were tightly knitted as he looked at Mo Qingwu in his arms, filled with gratitude to the heavens. At last, the two were alive and together again...

Although Mo Qingwu was still young, just a little girl; it didn’t matter, he could wait. He could afford to wait!

The carriage stopped in a secluded corner, and Chu Yang jumped out with Mo Qingwu in his arms, dodging a few times before disappearing from Tie Butian's sight.

Tie Butian sighed softly as he watched Chu Yang leave with the little girl.

He did not ask who the girl was. Since Chu Yang didn’t say, as a partner, Tie Butian would never pry into matters that his partner was unwilling to discuss; it was a matter of trust.

Yet Tie Butian could clearly feel that Chu Yang’s affection for this little girl was genuine and had not changed because of his words.

Or perhaps he wanted to change, but found himself unable to...

Tie Butian sighed lightly, murmuring, “So you’re not heartless after all... I wish you good luck.” He turned and said softly, “Let’s go.”

The carriage rattled and set off again.

In Tie Butian's heart, although Chu Yang sometimes displayed the mindset and actions of a youth, it was only in trivial matters when he was joking. But when it came to serious business, Chu Yang transformed into a precise calculating machine—absolutely emotionless, without any fluctuations in feelings, all efforts directed toward the ultimate goal!

For Chu Yang, slaughter was even more ordinary and tasteless than eating a plate of cabbage. He had always believed that Chu Yang was a heartless leader, an absolute decision-maker.

He cared for nothing—neither power nor riches nor the lives of others; in moments of madness, he wouldn’t even care for his own life!

But today, the appearance of Mo Qingwu showed Tie Butian the deep feelings and dedication Chu Yang possessed.

He didn’t know if this was a good thing for Chu Yang, but inexplicably felt a sense of happiness—a happiness for a friend. After today, he realized that Chu Yang was not a machine, but a living, breathing, emotional being!
