Chapter 648: Ghostfear Awakens
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All the nightmares stopped abruptly. The blood mist in front of them dissipated, and the commotion of the battlefield was far away. The pain in his body seemed to have disappeared, but the remaining pain in his heart could not be erased.
Ghostfear opened his painful eyes and saw a suona hitting his big forehead.
His temples throbbed!
He was still immersed in the pain brought about by the nightmare when Xiaohu decided to play a second time.
His head was buzzing. How could he have the time to grieve? He jumped out of bed!
“You’ve been tired all day. Go back and rest early. I’ll guard him. He probably won’t wake up…”
Su MO and Su Xiaoxiao chatted as they walked. Just as he was about to say that
Ghostfear wouldn’t wake up, they saw the door open and Ghostfear appeared in front of the two of them with a frightened expression.
The two of them were speechless.
Night fell. The pitch-black night opened the huge mouth of the abyss and swallowed the entire palace.
Two vigorous figures jumped and shuttled through the night, passing by the arched pavilion and the blue waves of lotus fragrance. They avoided the guards’ patrols and arrived at a desolate small courtyard near the south wall.
Wei Ting landed between King Nanyang and the south wall first. He turned around and looked at King Nanyang coldly.
He had been on the roof just now. He had heard everything he should and shouldn’t have heard.
He was even more shocked and found the truth even more difficult to accept than suspecting that the Eldest Princess was the mastermind.
This was the elder he saw as his father. He taught him how to read and write, brought him to recite poems, and warned him that no matter what, he had to grow into an indomitable man with a clear conscience.
“Why?”
Wei Ting clenched his fists and looked at him with red eyes. He questioned loudly, “Why!”
King Nanyang’s figure was enveloped by the cold moonlight, and his eyes were especially cold. However, at this moment, his lips moved slightly, and there was some gentleness in his eyes.
“Little Seven, you know that I don’t want to hurt you.”
Wei Ting said in a low voice, “Then what did you do? You harmed my grandfather and killed my father and brothers. Isn’t this hurting me? I’d rather the person you killed was me!”
King Nanyang sighed. “Those who achieve great things have to make choices.”
Wei Ting smiled coldly. ‘Make choices? Which part of our Wei family is not qualified in order to have to be given up by you?”
This was the most unbelievable thing. The Wei family was even more powerful than the Protectorate back then. In fact, because the Wei family had many sons, and each was more outstanding than the other, their prospects were even more beautiful than the Protectorate.
Who would abandon such a huge force?
It was not like he had already ascended the throne and had to kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness.
King Nanyang said, “You should know that I never wanted to hurt you. If I wanted to attack you, you would have died in Qingzhou. No, even earlier. Four years ago, you were unguarded against me at Broken North Pass. I could have taken your life at any time.”
Wei Ting mocked, “Then I should I thank you? For not killing me and for slaughtering my entire family!”
King Nanyang hesitated.
“You don’t have to rack your brains to lie to me. I won’t fall for your trick again. ”
With that, Wei Ting took out his sword. “Make your move.”
King Nanyang said, “I don’t want to fight you.”
Wei Ting did not intend to let him off.
Wei Ting raised his sword and slashed at his right arm!
King Nanyang turned around and acutely avoided Wei Ting’s attack. He grabbed Wei Ting’s sword with his fingertips in time.
Wei Ting looked at his right hand and frowned slightly. “Your usual hand was your left hand.”
King Nanyang did not say anything and slapped Wei Ting’s chest.
Wei Ting stepped back.
“You’re not using the same moves as before!”
King Nanyang was also a person who was well-versed in both civil and military matters. However, compared to his outstanding literary talent, his martial arts were relatively not as formidable.
Wei Ting was very familiar with his martial arts.
However, tonight, his internal strength and moves were all unfamiliar. Moreover, he seemed to have become a martial arts genius.
“Are you King Nanyang or not?” Wei Ting questioned. King Nanyang took Wei Ting’s move. “Can’t you recognize me?”
Wei Ting’s gaze landed behind his right ear.
When he was very young, he climbed the tree in a fit of pique. After he went up, he could not come down. It was King Nanyang who climbed up to look for him and was stabbed by a branch.
The familiar scar was still there.
While Wei Ting was observing the scar, King Nanyang took the opportunity to leap onto the wall and disappear into the endless night.
Don’t chase after a desperate enemy.
King Nanyang had long sensed that there was someone on the roof. He had deliberately lured him out.
Since he did not want to say anything to him, he had another motive.
Wei Ting was not blinded by hatred and shock. He calmly looked in the direction where King Nanyang had escaped, put away his sword, and returned to the courtyard.
In the house, Ghostfear wanted to complain about the evil deeds of the three little ones.
“Your sons! They…”
He raised his hand and pointed. When he turned around, he was stunned.
The three little ones who had been dancing on the grave just now were all sitting obediently by the bed and looking at him cutely.
Ghostfear was confused.
Were all little farts nowadays so good at pretending?
Su Xiaoxiao sent the three little ones to Madam Li and returned to the Ghosfear room. Looking at the Ghostfear who was sitting on the stool and doubting his life, she cleared her throat and said seriously, “You woke up at the right time. I have something to tell you, if you don’t feel any discomfort.”
All the discomfort of Ghostfear was blown away by the little smelly farts, not leaving him with any nostalgia.
Su MO called a secret guard over and asked him to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach.
The three of them sat around the round table.
Su Xiaoxiao told him about seeing King Nanyang.
After hearing this, Ghostfear remained silent for a long time.
Su Xiaoxiao took out her handkerchief and dusted it in the air. She wiped the nonexistent tears from the corners of her eyes and said earnestly, “I know that you’re now a sacrificial soldier of the Western Jin Dynasty. The sacrificial soldiers have no past. The Wei family has nothing to do with you. However, King Nanyang doesn’t think so. Helian Ye has already exposed you. If King Nanyang finds out that you’re still alive, he… will definitely come to take revenge on you. If you know anything, don’t hide it. We’ll think of a way together!”
Su MO looked at his sister in shock.
How did she manage to lie in all seriousness?
Ghostfear said in a low voice, “You don’t have to goad me.”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked and put away the handkerchief. “Then are you willing to tell me?”
Ghostfear wanted to say something but hesitated. After a pause, she said, “Let me make it clear first. I haven’t recovered my memories.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
“Up to you, anything!”
It seemed that there was a chance. Ghostfear did know about what happened back then.
Ghostfear took a deep breath and looked calm. His hands on his lap had already clenched into fists. “I never thought that he would harm the Wei family. But if it must be him, that should be the reason.”
Su Xiaoxiao gestured for Ghostfear to continue..
