With that, he walked toward the camp of Great Weiâs diplomatic mission.
Lu Wenshuang didnât say a word and followed two steps behind Zhou Shu.
Seeing Zhou Shu leave the camp, the commander of the guards, Chen Ji, gave Yin Chengshan a look. Yin Chengshan and his team quickly followed.
âDonât be so nervous. Iâm just going over to chat with an old friend.â Zhou Shu drove them back. âThey wonât dare to do anything to me in public. Even if they dare, thereâs Deputy Envoy Lu around. You guys can also rush over any time.â
In front of Hangu Pass, there were the camps of several countries. Unless Great Wei went crazy, they wouldnât assassinate the official envoy of Great Xia in public.
While Yin Chengshan hesitated, Zhou Shu had already walked far away.
He gritted his teeth. He didnât follow, nor did he return to the camp. Instead, he brought his men and waited in place, his gaze fixed on Zhou Shu. As long as there was any movement, he would immediately rush over to help.
Zhou Shu came to the camp of Great Weiâs diplomatic mission. After revealing his identity, Shen Yue quickly appeared in front of him.
This time, Shen Yue was no longer a deputy envoy but an official envoyâ¦
Ever since Shen Yue appeared, Zhou Shu had been staring fixedly at him.
âBrother Zhou, youâve been staring at me the entire time. Have you forgotten about me after not meeting for a short period of time?â Shen Yue said with cupped hands, his expression not changing in the slightest.
âBrother Zhou, I havenât congratulated you on your promotion yet. Speaking of which, I deserve some credit for your promotion, right?â he joked.
A strange look flashed across Zhou Shuâs eyes. The Shen Yue in front of him was no different from the Shen Yue he had seen before.
Even if they were twins, it was impossible for them to be exactly the same. Zhou Shu was very confident in his own judgment. With his cultivation, it was impossible for him not to be able to tell whether they were twins or the same person. Shen Yue really came back to life! Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. He had killed Shen Yue personally by chopping off his head. Even a first-rank martial artist wouldnât survive with their head chopped off.
Furthermore, there was the feedback from the Legendary Armament Canon. If he hadnât died back then, why would the Legendary Armament Canon give him benefits?
How did he come back to life?
âItâs been a few months since we last met. Brother Shen, youâre still as elegant as ever.â Zhou Shu grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth. âAfter we parted in You Prefecture that day, Iâve really missed you.â Shen Yue was slightly stunned, but his expression didnât show any falsehood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou Prefecture? Brother Zhou, did you remember wrongly? After we parted in Changâan, we have never met again,â Shen Yue said.
Zhou Shu looked straight into Shen Yueâs eyes, and Shen Yue didnât avoid his gaze.
âBrother Zhou, you came to look for me because of Great Qinâs trial?â Shen Yue continued. âI also wanted to discuss it with you. I admire your forging skills.â
Something is wrong! Very wrong!
Even in Changâan, before Shen Yue revealed his true intentions, he and Zhou Shu didnât have much of a relationship.
Now, he kept calling him Brother Zhou as if they were very close.
In fact, when Shen Yue was in Changâan, they didnât speak to each other much.
At the end of the day, Great Wei and Great Xia were enemies. How could Shen Yue be so friendly toward him?
Was it because he couldnât threaten him directly in front of outsiders?
Did he think that he could manipulate him just because he knew his secret?
Could it be that he felt that he had died too easily last time?
Zhou Shuâs heart stirred. He said, âThatâs right. Brother Shen, your reputation as a genius has spread far and wide. I came here to discuss Great Qinâs trial with you. Is this convenient?â
Since he canât find an opportunity to threaten me in public, Iâll create an opportunity for him.
âOf course.â As expected, Shen Yue didnât refuse and reached out his hand to make an inviting gesture. âBrother Zhou, please forgive me for the poor conditions of the camp.â
âNo, no. We donât even have a camp yet.â
Zhou Shu and Shen Yue made some meaningless small talk as they entered Shen Yueâs tent.
Lu Wenshuang was about to follow when Zhou Shu suddenly stopped. âWait for me outside.â
Lu Wenshuang was about to speak when Zhou Shu said angrily, âIâm talking to Brother Shen. Why are you, a maid, getting involved? Wait for me outside!â
He snorted and turned back to Shen Yue. âIâve spoiled her at home. She doesnât obey me.â
Shen Yue smiled. âBrother Zhou, you are so lucky.â Lu Wenshuang watched as the tentâs curtain fell. Her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes shone with a cold light.
With a snort, she turned around with a murderous look and guarded the door.
Zhou Shu had probed Shen Yue. It seems Shen Yue doesnât know Lu Wenshuangâs true identity.
Although Lu Wenshuangâs name resounded throughout the continent, not many people had actually seen her.
Many people in the diplomatic mission didnât know that she was one of the deputy envoys.
Most of the time, she simply followed behind Zhou Shu without saying a word. She seemed more like a maid, not the third most powerful person in the diplomatic mission.
The two of them sat down in the tent.
Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and said, âSome things canât be said in front of outsiders. You can say it now.â
He went straight to the point. It was as if he wanted to see what this Shen Yue was up to. He was sure that even if Shen Yue was shrewd, he wouldnât be able to tolerate the murderer who killed him.
Shen Yueâs expression was slightly startled. He was stunned for a moment before saying, âWhat do you mean, Brother Zhou?
âAlthough there are some grudges between Great Wei and Great Xia, it has nothing to do with usâ¦â
âShen Yue, itâs just the two of us now. Why are you acting so hypocritically?â Zhou Shu laughed coldly.
Shen Yueâs expression froze, and then a smile slowly appeared on his face.
Seeing his smile, Zhou Shu snorted coldly in his heart. Heâs finally revealed his true appearance. Heâs clearly a villain, so why is he pretending to be a gentleman!?
âAs expected of someone who climbed up from the ranks from a Forging Apprentice, even if you were conferred a title, you canât escape the style of a peasant,â Shen Yue mocked. âYou belong to the upper class, but the head of an upper-class person isnât any heavier than the head of a peasant.â Zhou Shu laughed coldly.
âZhou Shu, I will make you and Mi Ziwen pay for what you did to my brother!â Shen Yueâs face was as cold as ice and full of killing intent.
Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue and saw that the hatred on his face was real.
But his hatred is because of his brother?
Zhou Shu knew who Shen Yueâs elder brother was. His elder brother was the spy who had been lurking around Mi Ziwen.
Later on, he was killed by Mi Ziwen.
Because of this, Shen Yue hated Mi Ziwen and even hated Zhou Shu, Mi Ziwenâs sworn brother.
The problem was, if he wanted to hate someone, shouldnât he hate Zhou Shu more?
He had killed him before.
Does he not remember dying?
Or maybe he doesnât remember me killing him?
âShen Yue, how does it feel to die?â Zhou Shu suddenly said.
Shen Yueâs expression froze again. He frowned and said, âZhou Shu, what nonsense are you spouting!â There was disgust and impatience in his eyes. Seeing Shen Yueâs expression, Zhou Shu was almost certain that Shen Yue didnât remember dying! âShen Yue, is Xiao Shunzhi dead?â Zhou Shu probed again.
Shen Yueâs eyes were cold. âZhou Shu, do you think you can look down on my teacher just because he lost an arm? Who do you think you are? Youâre just a mere marquis!â
Upon hearing that Xiao Shunzhi was also alive, Zhou Shu let out a sigh of relief.
It sounded like Shen Yue didnât know that he had severed Xiao Shunzhiâs arm.
Although he didnât know what had happened, it seemed that after they came back to life, they forgot what had happened before they died.
They probably didnât remember that they had died once, nor did they remember Zhou Shuâs true strength.
It made sense. If Shen Yue remembered, how would he dare to be alone with him?
Did he not know that Zhou Shu could easily kill a noob like him?
âIâm nobody. At the very least, Iâll win you all again and make you scram with your tails between your legs,â Zhou Shu said calmly. âHaha.â Shen Yue suddenly laughed out loud. âZhou Shu, do you think you can win against me? The last time we bet on the two prefectures, did you really think you won with your own ability?
âIf I were you, I would return home right now. Otherwise, you will be the one embarrassed. Donât blame me for not warning you!â Shen Yue said confidently.
Zhou Shu looked at him like he was an idiot. âI really admire your confidence. Iâm just waiting to see how youâll embarrass me.â
