Chapter 938: This Isn’t Fair

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Left Emissary, unable to see through Chu Tang, gave up. As long as his son could be healed, all would be well, “You should rest early.”

Chu Tang responded, “Yes, Left Emissary.”

The Left Emissary, with a probing glance at Chu Tang, turned and left.

Chu Tang looked at the herbs in his hand, took them back to his room, followed by Hong Feiyun, who couldn’t hold back and asked, “What’s the deal with the medicine?”

Chu Tang casually placed the herbs on the table, “Just an excuse, don’t dwell on it.”

Hong Feiyun was nearly driven mad by Chu Tang’s unexpected actions, “I’m not concerned about what it is, but why it appeared in your hands?”

Chu Tang poured himself a cup of tea, “I just picked it up along the way, just in case.”

Hong Feiyun took a deep breath, knowing he couldn’t understand people like Chu Qingzhi, “Forget it, let’s rest early. I’m going back.”

Chu Tang waved, “Take care.”

Chu Tang got up and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, pondering…

Where could the second batch of military provisions be?

…

Hong Feiyun returned to his quarters. A figure emerged from the darkness at the entrance, “Feiyun, you’re back?”

Hong Feiyun sighed inwardly, stepping back in displeasure, “Mu Xiao, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Mu Xiao looked at Hong Feiyun eagerly, “I was waiting for you here.”

Hong Feiyun wished he could disappear on the spot, “Why were you waiting for me?”

“I wanted to talk to you.” Mu Xiao’s patience had reached its limit, but his expression darkened, “You’ve always been with Chu Tang, right?” The thought of Hong Feiyun constantly with Chu Tang made him irritable.

Hong Feiyun nodded, a well-known fact at the base, “Is there a problem?”

Mu Xiao took a step towards Hong Feiyun, looking into her eyes nervously, “Do you like him?”

Hong Feiyun shuddered; he wouldn’t dare to harbor feelings for her, “No, absolutely not, don’t talk nonsense. I spend a lot of time with him because I brought him in, and I can’t afford any mistakes with the Left Emissary, so I can’t be negligent.”

Mu Xiao was somewhat relieved, “You really have no other feelings for him?”

Hong Feiyun nodded earnestly.

Mu Xiao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Hong Feiyun tightly, “Feiyun, won’t you stop rejecting me?”

Hong Feiyun was overwhelmed. Internally he cursed, ‘I’m a man, why would I wait to turn gay?’ He forcefully pushed Mu Xiao away, “Don’t do this, it’s not good to be seen.”

Mu Xiao shockingly said, “Feiyun, let’s get married.”

Hong Feiyun, “…”

Hong Feiyun flew down from a tree, unable to accept it, shouted, “I disagree.”

Both Hong Feiyun and Mu Xiao turned to look at her.

Mu Xiao’s eyes hardened with viciousness when he saw Hong Feiyun. If it weren’t for the fact that she was Feiyun’s sister, he would have dealt with her long ago, “This has nothing to do with you, go back where you came from.”

Hong Feiyun pointed at Hong Feiyun, “She’s my sister, how can you say this has nothing to do with me?”

Mu Xiao’s gaze chilled, “You don’t need to interfere in this matter, go back to sleep, or I’ll get very angry.”

A chill ran down Hong Feiyun’s spine, but she still didn’t back down, “Mu Xiao, I’m the one who likes you. My sister doesn’t like you, why do you insist on marrying her?”

Mu Xiao looked at Hong Feiyun with an exceedingly gentle gaze, “How do you know your sister doesn’t like me?”

Hong Feiyun pointed at Hong Feiyun, emotionally, “She told me herself. If you don’t believe it, ask her.”

Hong Feiyun nodded, “Mu Xiao, I really don’t like you. Feiyun likes you so much, why don’t you marry Feiyun?”

Mu Xiao was incredulous, “Feiyun, that’s not what you told me before.”

Hong Feiyun was amenable, “Then let’s go with what I said this time.”

Mu Xiao couldn’t accept Hong Feiyun’s sudden change of heart and roared, “Feiyun, have you fallen for Chu Tang?”

“You all sort it out yourselves, I’m going to sleep.” Hong Feiyun, not wanting to accompany Mu Xiao in his madness, pushed him away and returned to her room. After entering, she slammed the door shut, isolating herself from the two outside.

Mu Xiao stared at the closed door for a while, his expression growing colder, “Hong Feiyun, you really are shameless.”

Hong Feiyun’s face turned pale, shocked to hear such words from the man she liked, “Mu Xiao, I…”

“Shut up! Don’t call me, from now on, I’ll act as if I don’t know you. If you continue to bother us, don’t blame me for being unkind.” Mu Xiao turned away sharply and left.

Hong Feiyun watched Mu Xiao’s retreating figure, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes slowly turning red with deep sadness, “Hong Feiyun, Mu Xiao, why do you both treat me like this when you are the closest to me?”

Chu Tang, lying on a tree branch above, dropped his voice from the sky, “Why do you insist on making someone who doesn’t like you, like you?”

Hong Feiyun looked up defiantly, “You’ve only been here a day, and my sister is already following you around. You, who lack nothing in love, can afford to say such things.”

Chu Tang popped a candied bean into his mouth, “You’re troubling yourself.”

Hong Feiyun, pointing at Chu Tang, shouted angrily, “You have no right to say that.”

Chu Tang, almost as if talking to himself, asked, “Do you want to become someone who is liked by many people like me?”

Hong Feiyun paused, “What do you mean?”

Chu Tang made an offer, “Help me with one thing, and I’ll make you likable. How about it?”

Cautiously intrigued to see what he was really after, Hong Feiyun asked, “What is it?”

“I want to know…” Chu Tang leaped down to face Hong Feiyun closely and whispered, “the whereabouts of the second batch of military supplies.”

Hong Feiyun’s expression changed, “Who are you?”

“I am Chu Tang.” He spoke nonchalantly, “What do you think? Will we make a deal? It seemed like you really hated them just now, weren’t you just talking big?”

Hong Feiyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, “Okay, I’ll trade.”

Chu Tang smiled, “First, stop always looking so bitter and resentful. Be easy-going like me, got it?”

Hong Feiyun knew her personality wasn’t likable, but she had always been this way; how could she change easily, “I… I can’t do that.”

Chu Tang folded his arms, looking at her seriously, “Think about it. If doing this makes Mu Xiao like you, can you do it?”

Hong Feiyun imagined it for a moment and then nodded, “I think I can manage that.”

Chu Tang handed her a handful of candied beans, “Good, now I’ve taught you the method, it’s your turn to tell me the information.”

Hong Feiyun eyed Chu Tang incredulously, “You want to trade my information that simply?”

Chu Tang’s expression darkened slightly, “Are you having second thoughts?”

Hong Feiyun felt immense pressure, swallowed hard, and hurriedly said, “I wouldn’t dare.” Chu Tang had just been so frightening, scarier than Mu Xiao by a factor of ten, no, a hundred times. It was terrifying.
