"You lied to me! You lied to me!" Shangguan Honghuo pointed at Gu Liyan and said, "If you hadn't lied to me, I would have arrived at this place by now! I would already be the king of this world!"
Do you think you can become king?
Just then, Mo Han's voice came.
"Lord Mo Han!" Upon seeing Mo Han, Shangguan Honghuo grasped at a lifeline and pointed at Gu Liyan excitedly, saying, "This villain tricked me! I actually succeeded! He cheated! What happened just now doesn't count at all!"
Mo Han sneered, "Hmph, the villain you speak of is my junior brother, and also the representative of the Mo family name. Moreover, the task of unifying this world was taken on by him, and his decision is the same as mine!"
"Wh-what?!" Shangguan Honghuo stared at Gu Liyan in astonishment. "He's the representative of the Ink Character?!"
Gu Liyan, upon hearing Mo Han's words, was somewhat taken aback. He had heard of the meaning behind it; it represented a spirit, and even more so, a soul.
But, was he qualified? Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han with some doubt, wondering why Mo Han would give him this qualification.
Mo Han did not respond to Gu Liyan's gaze, but looked at Shangguan Honghuo and said, "I can tell you, even if you sit in that position, it is not possible for you to unify the world!"
What? !
Shangguan Honghuo stared at Mo Han in astonishment. "No, that's impossible! You said it yourself, that the three kingdoms must be unified, and that's exactly what you've done! My wisdom and strength are beyond question, so why aren't you using me? Why!"
Gu Liyan said calmly, "It's simple, because I don't think you're worthy!"
"What?" Shangguan Honghuo looked at Gu Liyan, and Di Moyue also looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Gu Liyan looked at Shangguan Honghuo and said solemnly, "Once, a friend told me that absolute darkness is just like absolute light; darkness can be found, but light is hard to find. I'm not sure if you, who live in the light, have a dark side, but we all know that a monarch without weaknesses cannot bring happiness to the people!"
Shangguan Honghuo glared angrily at Gu Liyan, "What makes you think I'm not qualified? Just because I'm not qualified doesn't mean I'm not qualified!"
He is the best; he was chosen by that person. He is not mediocre. If he had a powerful background, he would never have looked down at Mo Han and Gu Liyan!
Yes! That must be it, they're all jealous of me!
Shangguan Honghuo felt that he had been sent to assist them in completing their mission, but had been used as a pawn by Mo Han and Gu Liyan, and had been completely played!
Everything we did was in vain!
"Even if I'm not qualified, then tell me who is!" Shangguan Honghuo said with a look of resentment.
Gu Liyan squinted at him, then looked up at the outside of the city. "The qualified people have arrived!"
Outside the city gates, shouts of battle filled the air as Li Hao, sword in hand, led a group of outlaws in a charge into the city.
Upon entering the city, Li Hao saw Gu Liyan and the others and hurriedly raised his hand to signal them to stop. Unexpectedly, the people behind him obediently stopped.
"Brother Gu!" Li Hao exclaimed in surprise when he saw Gu Liyan.
"Cough cough!" Mo Han leaped down from the city wall and landed in front of Gu Liyan.
Upon seeing Mo Han, Li Hao immediately straightened his face and knelt before Mo Han, saying, "Greetings, Master!"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han with some surprise, "Senior brother, what's wrong with you...?"
"Although this kid has very poor talent and is quite stupid, his luck is not bad!" Mo Han said with a smile. "Now he is my disciple and also your nephew!"
"Ah..." Gu Liyan nodded at Mo Han, thinking that with this layer of identity, Shangguan Honghuo wouldn't say anything more.
Li Hao stood up and said, "Master, the three thousand guards you asked me to find have been found. Although these people are all hermits in the mountains, they are loyal and righteous men who do not accept money and are willing to rid the people of evil."
Mo Han glanced at everyone and nodded. "That's right! There are indeed no charlatans among them."
Turning to look at Gu Liyan, she said gently, "Junior brother, this is all I can do to help you."
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. This "Junior Brother" warmed his heart.
Gu Liyan nodded. "I will definitely handle things here well!"
"Alright, then I'll take Shangguan Honghuo with me first." Mo Han nodded and then walked up to Shangguan Honghuo. "Let's go, let me see the mysterious person who sent you!"
Shangguan Honghuo looked terrified, but Mo Han held his shoulder down, and he could only resign himself to his fate and leave with Mo Han.
Seeing Shangguan Honghuo being taken away by Mo Han, Di Moyue frowned, unsure of what to do. Lan Ying, standing nearby, spoke with a cold expression, "He just left like that? What about the grudge he held against him…?"
“When will this cycle of revenge end? Shangguan Hong’s sins will be punished. If you kill him now, wouldn’t that be too easy on him?” Gu Liyan said.
Gu Liyan spoke up for Shangguan Honghuo, but Lan Ying remained silent. When Mo Han took him away, she knew they would never see each other again in this lifetime.
Watching Shangguan Hong's departing figure, he thought to himself: Let time preserve the kindest image of that boy...
Seemingly sensing Lan Ying's gaze, Shangguan Honghuo suddenly turned his head. In that instant when their eyes met, the two had already put aside their hatred for each other...
Lan Ying turned her head away and refused to look at him anymore. Shangguan Hong also turned his head away, his mind seemingly lost in thought.
At that moment, Gu Liyan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, the royal power of the Three Kingdoms has collapsed. Now I am preparing to establish a new law for this world, to give everyone a peaceful and tranquil environment. I hope you can serve as the guardians of this world!"
