CHAPTER 245: This Emotion Cannot Be Erased
In the past few days, a wave of rumors quietly swept through Iron Cloud City, claiming that Tie Butian was committing treason and killing his father to ascend the throne; that Chu King of Hell was scheming and plotting, causing the death of the former emperor; that Iron Dragon City was conspiring to rebel...
In short, the cold Iron Cloud City suddenly became abuzz with activity...
“I’m leaving,” Chu Yang said quietly as he sat across from Wu Qianqian. “I’m going to Great Zhao!”
“Going to Great Zhao?” Wu Qianqian stood up in shock. “Then... why would you think of going to Great Zhao? Do you know your own identity?”
“I’m going, for the sake of this world’s battle! I must go,” Chu Yang said gently. “The Butian Pavilion will be entrusted to you. From now on, for some time to come, you will be the Chu King of Hell!”
“From now on, I will be the Chu King of Hell?” Wu Qianqian stood there in a daze, looking at Chu Yang, her eyes suddenly turning red. “You’re going to leave one day, aren’t you?”
Chu Yang shrugged. “I’m going to take care of official business.”
Ignoring him, Wu Qianqian continued, “So you deliberately wore the black robe to conceal your identity, preparing to leave from the very beginning, right?”
Chu Yang sighed softly, saying, “You’re being a bit unreasonable... You’re overthinking things.”
“If one day you leave, the Chu King of Hell won’t leave. Is that right?” Wu Qianqian’s tears seemed about to fall, her voice trembling slightly. “This is your explanation to Tie Butian, and your explanation to your master, isn’t it?”
Chu Yang was speechless, gazing at her for a moment before saying faintly, “That’s correct!”
“So you planned to leave me here from the start, didn’t you?” Wu Qianqian sniffed, her eyes wide open, trying hard not to let the tears fall, striving to keep her voice calm. “You never intended to take anyone with you, did you?”
“Yes!” Chu Yang hardened his resolve and gave a definitive answer.
“I understand now,” Wu Qianqian forced a sad smile. “Don’t worry; I will do well.” She looked at Chu Yang bravely and said softly, “Since you chose me to be this Chu King of Hell, I will definitely fulfill that role.”
Chu Yang remained silent for a long time, at a loss for words.
“Chu Yang, do you really like wearing black clothes?” Wu Qianqian suddenly laughed lightly, a strange tone in her voice, asking melancholically.
“Yes,” Chu Yang swallowed hard. Facing Wu Qianqian, he suddenly felt a tremendous mental pressure.
“Mm, I understand now,” Wu Qianqian nodded slightly, turning away, no longer looking at him. “Is there anything else?”
“During this time, there are many rumors; I won’t interfere with this round of rumors,” Chu Yang remained silent for a moment before saying, “You handle it.”
“I understand,” Wu Qianqian said lightly. “You’ve worked hard to train me, isn’t it all for this day?” Her voice was calm, yet beneath that calmness lay a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Chu Yang could clearly hear the intense beating of her heart within her delicate chest! Although Wu Qianqian was trying her best to maintain her calm on the surface, the intensity of her emotions was gradually becoming uncontrollable.
Chu Yang sighed and said, “I just want to remind you; an immobile enemy is the most terrifying; but once they move, no matter what their purpose is, it gives us a chance to deal with them.”
“I don’t need you to remind me of that,” Wu Qianqian replied flatly. “After being with the real Chu King of Hell for so many days, I’ve learned.”
“Then that’s good,” Chu Yang nodded, speaking softly. “If all goes well, I will return in six months!”
Wu Qianqian remained silent for a long time, standing with her back to him.
Chu Yang raised his hand, wanting to pat her shoulder, but his hand paused in mid-air for a long time before he finally withdrew it, saying, “I’m leaving. I’m going to the palace and will leave directly.”
