Chapter Seventy-Two: Rumble
Gongzi Yu certainly recognized Chu Liuxiang, and he knew even better of his womanizing ways. In his eyes, Chu Liuxiang was currently displaying his peacock feathers to Linghao, and he immediately harbored murderous intent towards him.
How can such a philandering and unfaithful person be worthy of hanging around in front of Ah Hao?
Hmm? Murderous intent? Chu Liuxiang looked up and saw a man with an exceptionally handsome appearance and bearing walking towards him. He was certain he didn't recognize the man, so why did his attitude seem so unfriendly?
"Not very good" was practically Chu Liuxiang's euphemism; the other party was clearly aggressive, looking like they wanted to kill him. Instinctively, Chu Liuxiang turned his gaze to Ling Hao.
Judging from this female knight's martial arts skills, she couldn't possibly have missed such obvious killing intent. Yet, even so, she didn't turn back. Chu Liuxiang swore on his many wonderful experiences that the young master's killing intent might have been caused by Ling Hao.
As soon as Gongzi Yu stood still, before he could speak, he heard Ling Hao say, "What, has the young master finally shown himself? He disappeared for a day; we thought he had been sent away as well."
These words were extremely sarcastic and insinuating. If there were many other people present, they would have been dealt with by Gongzi Yu long ago. However, since the speaker was Ling Hao, Gongzi Yu was not only not angry, but also seemed somewhat afraid of her. "I'm sorry, I have something to attend to..."
"Something wrong? What is it?" Ling Hao turned around, looked up at Gongzi Yu, "Are you busy having someone change Mingyue's seat?"
After meeting with the Emperor last night, Linghao knew that even the Emperor probably didn't know where Mingyue was. The only person in the world who could tell her Mingyue's whereabouts was Gongzi Yu, but he stubbornly refused to say.
Linghao, who had initially held onto hope, was able to remain calm, but now she was completely unable to. The thought of Mingyue being imprisoned for so long, perhaps still pitifully waiting for her to rescue him, made her face turn extremely pale.
The reason for all this is that Gongzi Yu sent Mingyue away. Even if he's the older brother, isn't he being too controlling of his younger brother? He's an independent person, not Gongzi Yu's appendage, and he doesn't have to listen to everything Gongzi Yu says.
Gongzi Yu hadn't expected that he would be so scathingly rebuked by Ling Hao before he could even exchange two words with her. A hint of sadness flickered in his eyes. "Ah Hao."
"Don't call me that." Linghao was really angry. "Unless you release Mingyue."
"Bright moon, bright moon, bright moon." Gongzi Yu held the two words between his lips as if he hated them so much that he wanted to chew them up and swallow them. "I thought we were already friends."
“We are indeed friends, but Mingyue and I met first.” Ling Hao couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up abruptly. “He is your brother, not your enemy. Don’t you think you’ve gone too far by locking him up?”
“I don’t think so.” Gongzi Yu’s sad expression was mixed with a hint of malice. “If he comes out, I will be ‘locked up’. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable.”
“You…” Ling Hao suddenly stammered. Wait, what does it mean that just because the bright moon has appeared, Gongzi Yu is going to be locked up? In that instant, a thought struck her like a thunderbolt. But at this moment, her mind was a mess, and she couldn't sort it out for a while.
"Why don't you two sit down?" The argument between the two had attracted the attention of others, and Chu Liuxiang, as the only one sitting at the same table with Ling Hao, also received many stares. He felt that this was a good time to sit down and talk things out, really.
Chu Liuxiang was somewhat helpless as this was his first time experiencing something like this.
"No need." Gongzi Yu looked at Ling Hao, but seeing that her gaze wasn't even on him, he assumed she didn't want to talk to him at all, and immediately felt disheartened. "I'm going back to the villa first. The capital is a murky place, and there are all sorts of people out there. Remember to go back to the villa."
After saying that, he turned and left.
It wasn't that he didn't want to stay, but he figured Linghao must be very annoyed with him right now and definitely didn't want to see him. Since that was the case, he'd better leave first, so as not to make her feel bad.
Ling Hao's mind was completely filled with a bunch of thoughts, so she couldn't spare any attention for Gongzi Yu and didn't stop him from leaving.
Chu Liuxiang, who had witnessed everything, was speechless.
I don't know why, but I have this feeling of accidentally stumbling into someone else's family argument.
"Ahem, your lady?" Chu Liuxiang finally spoke, asking softly. Saying something would be better than remaining silent like this.
"Huh?" Ling Hao snapped out of her daze, sat down again, and said, "I'm sorry, that was my friend. He has a bit of an outgoing temper, he didn't mean to target you." He came in and immediately started radiating hostility, and now he's run away after speaking. She could only apologize on his behalf.
Gongzi Yu is really childish today, somewhat resembling Mingyue. No, perhaps… Ling Hao’s eyes flickered.
"It's alright, I don't think that young master meant any harm." Chu Liuxiang was actually very curious, but seeing that Ling Hao didn't mention it, he knew she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't press her for details.
Although the earlier incident was somewhat awkward, once it was out in the open, the initial awkwardness between Ling Hao and Chu Liuxiang disappeared. When they spoke again, they were much more familiar with each other.
Chu Liuxiang was chosen because he was very good at making friends, while Linghao was chosen because of her familiarity with Chu Liuxiang. Meanwhile, Gongzi Yu, who seemed unable to bear the sunlight, watched them from the shadows, his sinister aura making him even more frightening.
That shameless person is actually pestering Ah Hao like this. If it weren't for the fear of Ah Hao finding out, I really would like to teach him a lesson. Gongzi Yu thought through gritted teeth.
Chu Liuxiang, who was talking to Ling Hao, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.
The poem, which had been forced to reappear beside Gongzi Yu, read: "..."
The eldest young master is even more eccentric and difficult to please today. At this moment, she especially hopes the second young master will come out. But… there's a hint of hesitation in Shici's eyes. If the heroine were to discover the secret between the eldest and second young masters, would she be so angry that she would sever ties with them?
If they really break off their friendship, will the eldest and second sons both go mad? Or like they are now, like a male ghost. Just thinking about it makes Shici's scalp tingle.
Ling Hao spent the day in Kyoto—accompanied by Chu Liuxiang at his insistence—and as evening approached, she decided to head towards the villa. She needed to verify an idea to see if it was true or false.
With this thought in mind, Ling Hao returned to the villa and stepped into Gongzi Yu's courtyard. By this time, it was completely dark.
Upon hearing her footsteps, Gongzi Yu immediately came out of the room. "Ah Hao, you're back." He looked at Ling Hao with a smile, as if their argument during the day had never happened.
To him, the fact that Hao Ken had returned to the villa meant that their argument was not a complete break in relations, so he was naturally happy and didn't care about anything else.
"Boom—!" At that moment, a clap of thunder sounded from the horizon.
