Chapter 49: Familiar, yet strange



Master Liaoyun saw the host looking at him with a complicated expression, smiled slightly, poured the host another glass, and motioned the host to sit down.

"What's there to regret? It's just a way of repaying a favor." Le Yun patted the host's shoulder casually.

From the moment he decided to come back, he already knew his final outcome. Everything has a cause and an effect. Since someone saved his life and allowed him to live for so many more years, he should repay the favor.

Seeing the determination in Yun's eyes, the host didn't know what to say. He shook his head and turned to leave. "I am not as great as you. The Prime Minister saved your life in the past, and now you are protecting his bloodline. It's just karma."

Le Yun smiled and said nothing more. Since Xu An had been accepted by the host, he was relieved.

"Aze, Aze, wait for me." Long Musi hesitated for a long time and finally saw Xu Tianze's back. He shouted hurriedly, hoping that Xu Tianze could wait for him.

Xu Tianze stopped, turned around, and glanced at Long Musi: "Let's go, we should go back."

Long Musi was a little surprised when he saw Xu Tianze turning around, because Xu Tianze's expression was too calm, without any fluctuation, as if the person who was extremely angry just now was not him.

Long Musi didn't say anything, but just followed Xu Tianze silently and walked side by side with Xu Tianze.

Since when did Xu Tianze become able to control his emotions so well that he would never involve others because of his emotions for no reason again?

Since when had he ceased to be the tree hole for Xu Tianze to vent his emotions? At this moment, Long Musi suddenly felt that the distance between him and Xu Tianze had widened infinitely. Even though this person was standing right in front of him, the gap between them seemed impossible to bridge.

"I know what you are thinking." Xu Tianze looked at Long Muse beside him. Long Muse didn't say anything, but he knew what Long Muse was thinking.

"Even though what Master Yun said disappointed and made me angry, I know what I really need, and I understand that not everyone will agree with my choice." Xu Tianze looked into the distance and calmly expressed his inner thoughts.

He has always known that the world is not black and white. The downfall of the Xu family has benefited countless people, and it can even make many people lie with their eyes open.

In this cannibalistic world, he is always the one who saves the world, but he doesn't want to save everyone. He is very selfish. As long as he thinks someone needs to be saved, he will definitely save them, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

He is also very stubborn. As long as it is what he wants, he will make it happen directly, even if it means using any means and getting his hands dirty with blood.

"Your Highness, I chose this path myself, so I will go to the end even if I die. Whether it's paranoia or madness, I will not regret it, and I will never think that I am wrong." Xu Tianze walked into the dark path little by little, and the opaque shadows swallowed him up bit by bit.

But when he turned his head, he saw Long Muse who was swallowed by the shadow together with him. Suddenly, Xu Tianze subconsciously raised his hand and pushed Long Muse out. Seeing Long Muse standing in the sunshine, he also stopped and looked at Long Muse.

"Since I've already made the decision, why would I let others' words make me unhappy? I may be angry and dissatisfied, but I won't let my emotions control me." After Xu Tianze finished speaking, he tilted his head and smiled at Long Musi, "Your Highness, do you think I'm right?"

Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze in the shadow, his mind went blank. Xu Tianze's voice and appearance were still clearly visible in the shadow, but the dividing line between light and darkness made him feel a little helpless.

Familiar people, familiar personalities, unfamiliar ways of doing things. Obviously familiar, yet revealing a sense of strangeness.

Long Musi looked at Xu Tianze thoughtfully, then looked at the dividing line between the two. Suddenly, he understood, then laughed and stepped into the path: "What Aze said is naturally correct."

Xu Tianze looked at Long Musi strangely. He didn't know why Long Musi could think for so long for a simple response, or whether it was just because his reaction time was too long.

But he didn't think much about it and pulled Long Musi to go back. After all, everything was over and there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.

It was almost noon when the two came out. They had stayed in Xiangguo Temple for a long time. The moon was now high in the sky, and the branches under the moonlight were stained with black shadows.

"It looks like we'll have to spend the night outside the city." Xu Tianze lifted the carriage curtain to take a look outside, then turned around and gently patted Long Musi's thigh. "It looks like you and I will have to make do together in the carriage tonight."

When Long Musi heard what Xu Tianze said, he coughed dryly and said, "No need. I also have a house in the suburbs. We can just go there and rest for a while."

Xu Tianze nodded. He didn't care about these things. He just thought that Long Musi was a precious person after all. It was a bit unfair for him to have two people squeeze in the same carriage for the night.

But he didn't notice that Long Muse's ears were already a little red and his cheeks were slightly flushed. It could only be said that the dim carriage saved Long Muse from embarrassment.

Ma Zheng and Long Yi, who had heard the entire conversation between Xu Tianze and Long Musi outside the carriage, didn't know what to say for a moment. For someone like their Highness, it was normal for him to not be able to pursue someone, right? Normal, right?

As for Ma Zheng, he was even more speechless. He felt that he was not worthy of her and would not show anything, but his master was really disappointing.

Even a fool like him knows that some things should not be said in this way, and the opportunity to be alone is gone.

Suddenly, the two horses pulling the carriage sneezed together. Long Yi and Ma Zheng looked at each other, then Long Yi raised his whip and whipped them twice.

The horses were frightened and raised their hooves and rushed forward. Just as the carriage was moving fast, a rustling sound was heard all around, and then countless black shadows emerged in the woods.

Xu Tianze was driven by the sudden speeding of the carriage and fell directly into Long Musi's arms, and then he smelled a fresh body fragrance at the tip of his nose.

“It smells nice.”

Xu Tianze did not come out of Long Muse's arms immediately. He lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance on Long Muse's body, then slowly came out of Long Muse's arms.

"Sit tight." Long Musi said in a low voice. When Xu Tianze fell into his arms just now, his muscles were tense and he didn't dare to move.

"Okay, okay, you're the only one who can keep calm, okay?" Xu Tianze glared at Long Musi unhappily. He was so serious even though people were chasing him. There was no one else around, so why was he pretending?

Although Xu Tianze complained in his heart, there was no panic on his face. After all, it was not the first time he was chased. It was the same thing over and over again, so he really didn't feel anything.

He even felt a little bored, but he was still thinking too easily, because today's assassination was indeed different from the previous ones.
