Free Web NovelChapter 1734: Chapter 1344: I Am the One Who Unties the Knot!
But, thinking about it, that’s not right!
Those people like Diao Chan, they wouldn’t have the guts to use their own evildoer and Shi Wujue to joke around by falsely reporting military situations!
So what’s this bizarre scene now?
Are these two exhausted from fighting and planning to sleep here and turn hostility into jade silk?
But, it doesn’t quite look like that!
Although both of them are lying still, the atmosphere is still unspeakably strange!
Hidden in the darkness, Gu Changsheng frowned tightly. She thought, you either erupt in silence or perish in silence; this saying makes a lot of sense. These two are going to erupt and die in silence, so her coming here was indeed wise because she couldn’t see the shadow of the Medicine Immortal Old Man at all!
That unreliable old man, who knows where he ran off to!
Humph!
Even explaining half a thing to him, he’s so careless, utterly useless! Useless!
When I go back, I’ll cut off his wine!
Let him suffer for being inattentive!
Gu Changsheng cursed silently a few times, staring at the two figures lying on the ground, her expression growing more tense, her whole demeanor wary, just to prevent these two silent people from suddenly erupting, so she could stop them at the first moment!
But, Gu Changsheng waited and waited, until the "yellow-flower vegetables" were almost cold, yet the two lying there still had no movement!
Gu Changsheng wasn’t known for her patience, except during mission executions in her previous life, she rarely sat still!
But, this time, she unusually stayed put!
No, more precisely, she stayed prone!
Because, in this situation, as she said, it was really inconvenient for her to reveal herself, otherwise, all that would await them was endless awkwardness!
So, even with poor patience, unless it’s a life-and-death moment, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t act!
Rarely sitting still, Gu Changsheng watched the silent two, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat. Damn it, if you’re going to fight, just fight; if you’re going to kill, just kill; dragging it out like this, what’s the point?
This wasn’t testing each other, clearly, it was tormenting her!
She felt like she was about to burn out from waiting!
And, if you think lying like this, with hands held and tearful gazes, is poetic, then go back to the guesthouse and find a big bed to lie on, why bother coming to this vast grassland, worrying others for nothing?
Honestly, it’s sick!
Diagnosis complete!
However, Gu Changsheng didn’t wait much longer, because those two lying not far away finally moved, as they spoke!
Gu Changsheng heard Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s sounds, immediately perked up her ears, trying hard to listen clearly!
"Shi Wujue, do you remember when we first met?"
"Mm!"
The voices of her own evildoer and Shi Wujue came in succession!
"At that time, I thought, in this world, there is such a pampered aristocrat, surrounded by followers, bullying men and women, yet can face accusations so calmly, as if not doing so would be a disservice to himself!" Zhou Mu’s voice came again, with a hint of nostalgia.
"At that time, I thought, so, the person who could match me in this world turned out to be a righteous person meddling in others’ business, the dignified Commandery Prince, seeking justice for others on the street, how idle!" Shi Wujue chuckled and said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mu also smiled.
However, the two of them still looked up at the sky, not noticing each other’s expressions.
Zhou Mu didn’t see the fleeting look of guilt on Shi Wujue’s face...
"I’m sorry, Zhou!"
Although we were young then, our first meeting wasn’t by chance, it was all part of my preparation to make ties with someone powerful...
I am actually the true villain!
On Zhou Mu’s god-like face, there was a full expression of reminiscence!
He was born as a king, and if there were years in this life truly at his will, it would be those few years he spent studying military strategies and martial arts under a master’s guidance on the Vast Mountain, during which he got acquainted with Shi Wujue...
Unburdened by identity, it was just a pure friendship!
"Shi Wujue, I am proud and few can catch my eye, but you are one of those few. I admire your freedom, your wildness, your unrestrained ways... Clearly, we both have great power, yet while I’m not free, you live as you please..."
"Haha..." Shi Wujue laughed bitterly at these words, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Who can truly live as they please... Zhou, it’s you whom I should admire..."
Saying this, Shi Wujue paused, took a breath, and continued, "The king’s path is lonely, and how lucky you are to find someone to walk with, while I... haha..."
The Medicine Immortal Old Man was right, some things are better said than letting them fester into a knot...
Even if, in the end, it becomes a dead knot, Shi Wujue doesn’t want their knot to be this!
Looking up to glance at the bright moon in the sky, there was a desolate look in Shi Wujue’s long, narrow eyes...
Speak out!
When that time truly comes, he has no other wish, only hoping that when the truth is revealed, the three of them can discuss grievances without involving emotions!
This is already, all he can ask for!
Hoping that woman and the man beside can hate him, can blame him, but not negate his feelings...
He truly, has fallen for her!
Though he never thought, as a member of the Ancient Country Royal Family, he was entitled to possess a heart...
Hearing Shi Wujue mention the emotional entanglements between the three, Zhou Mu fell into a brief silence...
Just as Shi Wujue thought Zhou Mu would avoid speaking on the matter, he spoke again...
"Shi Wujue, you have put her in a difficult position..."
Upon hearing this, Shi Wujue’s world-shocking face dimmed, "This City Lord never intended to put her in a dilemma..."
However, Zhou Mu seemed oblivious to Shi Wujue’s words, continuing, "She is very strict with certain things, including herself! Shi Wujue, your several life-risking rescues are deeply affectionate, yet destined to receive no response. Do you know why?"
Shi Wujue was stunned again upon hearing this, "This City Lord has never sought any response..."
Because he simply has no right!
"Because, the one who unties the bell must be the one who tied it, and she was never the bell ringer, the ringer has always been I!" But Zhou Mu spoke once more, saying this!
Shi Wujue froze at these words.
On second thoughts, he let go!
"There is truth in these words..." Shi Wujue said muttering.
"Indeed, for that is the reality!" Zhou Mu smiled lightly and said slowly, "I knew her first, pledged first, bonded first, engaged first, all the world knows of the promise between us, a pair for this lifetime and the next, inseparable in life and death, Shi Wujue, I have fulfilled it, and she, though seemingly careless and free, is exceedingly strict with herself, a person who always adheres firmly to her own principles, how could she allow herself to break her promise?"
"To spark an interest and endure, may be difficult for others, but she can do it, her resilience is beyond your imagination!"
When the words ’spark an interest and endure’ left Zhou Mu’s lips, a beam of light flickered across Shi Wujue’s astonishingly handsome face, instantly lighting up his features!
Spark an interest and endure... spark an interest and endure...
One must first spark an interest to endure it...
Does this mean that Gu Changsheng does not remain as calm as she appears?
This is the most wonderful phrase Shi Wujue has heard in his lifetime!
"In such a case, just your words are enough!" His stunning face gradually shifted to an expression of relief...
Yes!
That is enough!
Humans should not be greedy! He should no longer be greedy!
Zhou Mu would not deceive him, if he says Gu Changsheng has felt for him, then she naturally has...
That’s enough!
He is already content, seeking nothing more!
Their conversation reached the ears of someone lurking in the shadows, and Gu Changsheng felt as if struck by lightning, quite agitated!
Evildoer!
What on earth is his evildoer saying?
Does he know what he’s saying?
Her thoughts...
Gu Changsheng always knew her evildoer could be described as abnormal, practically an Intestinal Worm, and that Worm is directed towards her alone!
He always manages to accurately guess her thoughts, causing her great embarrassment!
It was like this before, even more so now!
But him revealing his thoughts to Shi Wujue, it’s a bit...
Does he know what he’s saying?
Does he know what will come of speaking these words?
Gu Changsheng’s bright face in the darkness fluctuated in expression, her mind momentarily blank, feeling somewhat disembodied...
She understood that a man’s conversation never strays far from women, just as a woman’s never strays far from culinary delights and fashion...
Yet she never knew, a conversation between men, apart from vulgarity, could leave one so confused!
Are they pouring out their hearts to each other?
But have they considered the feelings of the heart itself, within their sincerity?
It’s like being stripped bare, all thoughts laid out, this feeling is uncomfortable... and awkward...
Especially when it’s your fiancé revealing your thoughts, and the listener, your blooming Peach Blossom...
Embarrassing!
How could one word describe such embarrassment!
Just as Gu Changsheng was in turmoil, Zhou Mu spoke again!
"Is this enough? Just this is enough? Shi Wujue, that’s only what you consider enough! Haha..." Zhou Mu heard and laughed softly, saying, "You are not her, nor do you know how she thinks, several times risking your life to save her, repeatedly aiding her, gratitude is hard to repay, feelings are difficult to reciprocate. You think that someone so strict with herself can deceive herself easily?"
"Shi Wujue, it’s impossible! Your admiration is, for her, a deadlock!"
