CHAPTER 415: Isn't This What You Wanted?
When Wu Qianqian returned, she had already regained her composure; aside from her slightly red eyes, she radiated brilliance and charm, utterly captivating!
It seemed as if a long-lost vitality had returned to her body at that moment.
She said nothing and made no gestures; when Chu Yang was absent, she took on his role, embodying the Chu King of Hell, the figure that dominated Iron Cloud in that imposing black robe, without a single flaw!
She acted decisively on his behalf, commanded the heroes, traversed vast distances, wielded thunderous measures! She displayed unparalleled strategy and cunning, demonstrating treachery and ruthlessness! She bore everything!
No one knew the effort it took for a woman to impersonate a man to such an extent, the depth of understanding and the indelible impression she had of him…
But when Chu Yang returned, she instantly transformed back into the Wu Qianqian who quietly stood by his side, silently watching him, quietly assisting him.
She was such a woman, never forcing demands or seeking anything for herself. She simply waited in silence, selflessly giving of herself.
She was very intelligent; she saw Chu Yang’s daily behavior clearly. So she understood, and she never forced anything. Thus, she silently endured and silently loved.
"My love for you is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you. I have never said you must accept me just because I love you; I don’t even want you to be aware of this feeling, lest it burdens you..."
"If you want to leave, then leave; but I will remain. If you want to come back, you can come back, and I will still be here."
"But as long as you don’t take the initiative to confess to me, I will never take the initiative to say this to you: Chu Yang, I like you!"
"I won’t!"
"I’m not afraid of your rejection, but I fear my dream ending. Because in my dreams, you are mine!"
After a long silence, Wu Qianqian finally spoke, her voice calm: "Chu Yang, I have dealt with your second master uncle, Li Jinsong."
"Eh?" Chu Yang was taken aback.
"Not just him, but many others; I’ve cleared everyone from the Sky Tower," Wu Qianqian stated serenely. "These people pose too great a hidden danger; you never know when they might cause trouble, and once trouble arises, it’s bound to be significant, so I took care of all of them."
Chu Yang’s mouth dropped open in shock.
"How did you deal with them?" After a while, Chu Yang managed to close his mouth, feeling as if his jaw nearly dislocated. He clicked his tongue repeatedly, amazed at her ability. She had even dealt with her own master uncle… not fearing her father’s punishment.
"I initially planned to wait for you to return to handle it, but I thought you’ve already been expelled from the gates, making it somewhat inconvenient," Wu Qianqian said lightly. "So, I thought I might as well take care of it myself."
"Uh…" Chu Yang gave a thumbs up. "You really think ahead."
"Li Jinsong's woman was afflicted by a strange poison called Spring and Autumn Heartbreak Powder; it manifests once a year and, if not suppressed by a miraculous remedy, leads to three days and nights of agony before death, with all internal organs rotting away."
"And your second master uncle, who has always been dissatisfied with your father controlling the Sky Tower, was approached by the Golden Horse Knights Hall during this time; they claimed they could provide the medicine and help him take over the Sky Tower… so he was easily manipulated," Wu Qianqian explained. "Additionally, he loved his woman dearly, which played a part."
"But the Golden Horse Knights Hall only provided him with temporary suppressants and didn’t give him the root-removing Crystal Ganoderma, just dangling it to keep him in line."
"I see." Chu Yang nodded, recalling that during his eavesdropping, Li Jinsong had asked those people for Crystal Ganoderma, but to no avail.
Then he remembered visiting the Golden Horse Knights Hall's treasure vault and couldn't help but smile wryly: It wasn’t that the Golden Horse Knights Hall didn't want to give it to him; they simply didn't have it!
