Free Web NovelChapter 1723: Chapter 1333: I Am Their Xiao He!
"Alright, alright! I know it’s a big deal! You don’t have to keep stressing it!"
Gu Changsheng, hearing this, lazily retracted her foot and responded in a dismissive manner. Then, carrying the medicine in both hands, she calmly brushed past Diao Chan and headed towards the room where Yu Lianyi was settled...
"Sir! Please pay attention! This time it’s really serious!" Diao Chan stomped her foot and followed.
"Damn it, you’ve cursed me so many times saying it’s bad. What’s so bad? Just tell me!" Gu Changsheng was also getting anxious, turned back, glared at Diao Chan, and spoke angrily.
Damn, if both her hands weren’t occupied right now, she would definitely give this fool Diao Chan two slaps!
Why can’t you just keep your mouth shut!
Cursing me all day, are you trying to start something!
"Sir! Sir! I’m serious! It’s bad! The son-in-law and Shi Wujue have started fighting!" Diao Chan suddenly realized she hadn’t yet gotten to the main point.
When Gu Changsheng heard Diao Chan’s words, her bright little face had a moment of blankness, then she reacted and immediately started searching around. While searching, she anxiously asked, "The evildoer and Shi Wujue are fighting? Where are they? Where are they?"
Diao Chan felt a little balanced seeing her master’s reaction, proving her master was also worried! She knew she was right to wait by her master’s door, so she quickly explained, "They probably found the guesthouse too small and couldn’t stretch their legs, so they ended up fighting far away!"
"Fighting far away..." Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng responded absentmindedly, her bright little face clearly filled with regret...
Just when Diao Chan thought her master would surely abandon the medicine and chase after them, she saw her master stomp her foot angrily and mutter under her breath, "Damn! Such a good show with those two evildoers fighting, and I can’t even watch it! Why fight so far away if there’s no issue? And why aren’t you stopping them!"
Diao Chan was instantly thrown into confusion!
The outstretched hands, originally intended to take the medicine from her master, now could only grab onto her master’s sleeve to steady herself from falling forward from shock...
"Sir..." Diao Chan had tears in her eyes...
Did her master even hear what she said?
Why was the reaction so unexpected?
Where did it go wrong?
"Get up! Why are you pulling and tugging? It damages my dignity!" Gu Changsheng wrinkled her sleeve with disdain and looked at Diao Chan with disgust, saying, "Diao Chan, I’m not saying this, but you don’t even look like someone from under me. With your personality, I really don’t want to acknowledge you as one of my subordinates, such a fool!"
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan looked hurt and quickly defended herself, "Sir, what did I do wrong? The son-in-law and Shi Wujue are fighting, isn’t that a big deal?"
"Tch!" Gu Changsheng snorted disdainfully, "How is it a big deal? They’re just sparring after a big meal, and you get scared and block my door? Look at how unsettled you are. Haven’t the evildoer and Yue Xilou fought enough? Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you should at least have seen pigs run! How can you be this unsettled?"
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan tilted her head and thought, it seemed to make sense!
It seemed her son-in-law had indeed fought with Master Lou quite a bit...
"But... but the Medical Immortal said that in men’s competition, it’s light to get injured or crippled, they might end up fighting to the death! To the death, sir! If one of them really ends up..." Diao Chan, still not giving up, explained again...
Before Diao Chan could finish explaining, Gu Changsheng was already amused by her!
With disdainful little eyes, looking at Diao Chan, Gu Changsheng shook her head and couldn’t help but say, "Diao Chan, you actually believe the old man’s words, is your head just for decoration? Watching the fun and exaggerating, he’s just idle and pulling your leg! Fighting to the death, he’s just scaring you, this good-for-nothing!"
"But sir, the Medical Immortal was very serious..."
"And you were very serious!" Gu Changsheng interrupted before Diao Chan could finish, then turned and continued towards Yu Lianyi’s room...
"Sir! This can’t be taken lightly. If something really happens to them, you’ll regret it with no place to do so, you better hurry and check!" Diao Chan saw this and refused to give up, immediately following and speaking anxiously.
Gu Changsheng saw Diao Chan’s stubbornness and couldn’t help but sigh, then stopped again, turned around, and looked at Diao Chan with a serious face, "So, Diao Chan, did the old man tell you why they were fighting?"
Upon hearing this, Diao Chan furrowed her rough eyebrows in thought, then truthfully said, "This the Medical Immortal didn’t specify, but at that time the patrolling Dark Night Army not far away came to report, saying the two were talking in the corridor, then somehow, a disagreement escalated into a fight..."
"So, you don’t know why they were fighting..." Gu Changsheng pursed her lips, looked into the distance, and said softly, "Then let me tell you what these so-called men’s competitions mean, listen carefully, you fool..."
"Men’s competitions, are nothing more than for a woman!"
Diao Chan blinked her big eyes in confusion upon hearing what Gu Changsheng said, "Woman? Who?"
Gu Changsheng was amused by Diao Chan’s silly look, sighed, lifted her chin, and continued with a proud face, "It’s none other than me!"
"Uh... for you, my lord..." Diao Chan, upon hearing this, promptly appeared enlightened, her muddled brain suddenly cleared, and once it did, she became more anxious, grabbing Gu Changsheng’s sleeve and once again lowering her voice, "My lord, that’s even more serious! The Medical Immortal wasn’t scaring me; something is really going to happen!"
"What is it?" Gu Changsheng asked, her eyebrows furrowing in response.
This guy, she had already made things clear enough, yet Diao Chan, the stubborn blockhead, was now treating it as if facing a great enemy.
Could it be that she had expressed it wrong?
Shi Wujue’s intentions for her, even if hidden well, anyone with half a brain could see through. It’s just that the three of them chose mutually deceiving themselves and avoided the topic. The people around them wouldn’t bother exposing the truth to avoid adding awkwardness...
Why is Diao Chan unable to grasp the situation?
"My lord, though I haven’t seen the aftermath of two men fighting over one woman, I have seen two male dogs fiercely fighting over one female dog, and it’s brutal—heads cracked, blood flowing like rivers, extremely tragic, dreadful to behold..." Crude as always, Diao Chan used idioms she’d never used before, feeling that, at that moment, she might never appear more cultured in her life, even she admired herself a bit...
"You-rascal!"
Before Diao Chan could finish speaking with her newfound cultural idioms, Gu Changsheng erupted with a loud curse!
"Thud!"
Along with the curse came Diao Chan’s instant fall to the ground, and Gu Changsheng angrily retracting her foot...
"My lord?" Diao Chan lifted her head a bit, covered in dust...
What did she say wrong?
Why did she get kicked?
"Diao Chan, you blockhead, who are you calling a male dog? And who are you calling a female dog? Three days without a beating and you’re itching for it—you’re getting bolder, huh! Just wait until I safeguard Yu Lianyi’s life first, and then I’ll deal with you; I won’t let you off without peeling three layers of your skin!" Gu Changsheng fumed inside, who can tell her why on earth does she have a Diao Chan by her side?
She wants subordinates as charming as flowers!
She wants subordinates as charming as flowers and with brains!
She’s infuriated!
Seething with anger, Gu Changsheng turned on her heel and left, fearing she’d be unable to resist aahing upon seeing Diao Chan’s infuriating face again!
"My lord! Aren’t you worried about your son-in-law and Shi Wujue getting into trouble? Those two... don’t matter to you at all? Not even surpassing Yu Lianyi?"
Until Gu Changsheng had walked far off, Diao Chan’s worried voice echoed behind her.
Upon hearing this voice, Gu Changsheng paused her stride, her anger disappearing, a hint of conflicted helplessness flashed on her bright face. After contemplating, she said, "Diao Chan, rising because of Xiao He and falling because of Xiao He—they are Xiao He to me. Their fight is due to me, and when they cease, it will also be due to me..."
"I pretend not to know, not going is one thing, but if I do go, tell me, how should I wrap it up?"
You may call her a coward for evading, fear her for not facing reality...
Of the three’s emotions, the one wanting to escape the most might be her!
Though she bantered and joked with Diao Chan here, heaven knows the entangled emotions and frustrations swirling in her heart...
One, deeply affectionate, cannot be let down...
One, passionate yet short-lived, cannot be reciprocated...
Tell her, how should she choose?
This simply isn’t a choice—Gu Changsheng’s personal inclination, she’d rather evade!
Upon hearing her master’s answer, Diao Chan, lying on the ground in a poor state, frowned slightly on her crude face. Looking at her master’s somewhat lonely back, she felt a bit of inexplicable heartache. After thinking, she licked her trademark annoying face again and urged toward her master’s back, "In that case, Xiao He, you better quickly go save Yu Lianyi. There’s a man from the Hidden World Clan guarding her door, almost about to curse your entire genealogy..."
