Why did he come to Deities Gate?
âYou...â Jiu Ming stood up nervously. âWhat did you come here for?â
Hu Qing let out a cold snort. âIâm looking for a place to rest, to train, so I can kill the Ninth Emperor!â
Jiu Yue was stunned. âHow did you get in here?â
âOh, a bunch of people saw me, called me âGate Masterâ, and then let me in. This place has great scenery and dense spiritual qi, so I thought Iâd come here to recuperate. Who knew that this is the nest of this old man.â
Hu Qingâs face was filled with mockery as he said that.
Jiu Yueâs breath got caught in his throat. He had forgotten the fact that this man was currently using his fatherâs body and the people of Deities Gate did not know what had happened during the assembly, so they would of course let him in...
At the thought of this, Jiu Yue became more anxious. âSince you took my fatherâs body, and I am his son, as a favor to my father, could you not harm me? I donât want to die yet.â
Hu Qing looked at Jiu Yue with disdain. How could someone from the mainland be so afraid of death?
They were even the strongest faction of this mainland!
âDonât worry, her enemy is my ally. Our hatred for each other can never be resolved until the other is dead!â Hu Qing said through gritted teeth.
Jiu Yue was puzzled.
Why did this man hate Feng Ruqing so much?
Could she have... murdered his whole family?
Why else would he hold such a grudge against her if not for that?
âThat woman... where is she?â Hu Qing narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.
Jiu Yue was stunned before realizing that Hu Qing must have meant Feng Ruqing.
âYou mean Feng Ruqing? Sheâs the princess of Liu Yun Kingdom. In three months, she will be having her wedding ceremony with Nan Xian. Sir, you...â
Jiu Yue felt a little awkward addressing this man as âsirâ.
After all, this man was in his fatherâs physical body, but...
Hu Qing seemed to mind being in this aged body very much. His real self must be a lot younger than this shell, so Jiu Yue could only address him that way.
Sure enough, after hearing Jiu Yue call him that, Hu Qingâs expression mellowed and the contempt in his eyes reduced when he looked at Jiu Yue.
âWedding? That girl is getting married? To the man whose abilities are below mine but defeated me with secret methods?â
Hu Qingâs expression was filled with pride.
He would never admit that he had lost that day. That bastard must have used some secret methods to defeat him, and it was definitely not because his own abilities were below anyone else! The enemy was just too cunning!
âNo, no...â
âOh, no matter who it is, I wonât let her have peaceful days!â A cold glint sparked in Hu Qingâs eyes.
That bastard of a Ninth Emperor had once kidnapped his fiancee, so now he would not let her marry as easily she wished to!
âIn the past life, all women were very fond of the Ninth Emperor. However, in this life, a woman has tried to murder her! For example, that woman, Qin Feiâer...
âIt seems like the Ninth Emperor of this life isnât as popular as she once was.â
At the thought of that, Hu Qing felt a lot better and was pleased with himself. A smile even appeared on his face.
âPrepare a place for me to recuperate. In three months, I will have the Ninth Emperor... leave empty-handed!â
Jiu Yue was dumbstruck.
âHe canât be thinking of kidnapping the state preceptor, is he? To make Feng Ruqing go through with the wedding on her own?â
âAnd draw a portrait of what her fiance looks like.â
Jiu Yue wasted no time in delays and pulled out a portrait from his sleeve before ceremoniously handing it over to Hu Qing.
Hu Qing looked doubtful. âYou have a manâs portrait with you all the time? Is this old manâs son that sick?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
