Dark Blood Age

Originally, Fang Baixiao didn’t want to say it. He understood that sometimes, being too smart wasn’t a good thing, so if he could pretend to be foolish, he would. After all, once he said those words, it would only make Chu YunSheng feel that he was too smart. Because what he said also touched Chu Yunsheng’s bottom line, which was the secret that he didn’t want others to know, and this secret was related to what master Yi Jing had just said.

However, when the situation progressed to this point, he had to say it. Only by saying it, would Chu Yunsheng choose not to kill him.

Sure enough, Chu Yunsheng hesitated, after he started to fight the old man, his attention was mainly on the old man’s soft energy, so he indeed didn’t think that much. Fang Baixiao was right, if he killed the old man here, people would only think that he tried to destroy the evidence, but if he didn’t kill him, the old man would definitely do something to disrupt his plan in secret.

But when he thought that the old man might not be able to withstand the first wave of insects’ attack, and even if he did manage to survive, he would still have a lot of opportunities to kill him after the Sun completely disappeared. At that time, he could simply kill him and make it look like he was killed by insects.

After thinking it thoroughly, Chu Yunsheng put away the sword coldly and said, “fine, for the sake of you and all the generals here, I’ll let him go this time. However, generals, I have to make it clear first, if he wants to create troubles for me again, then I’ll show no mercy!”

Several officials and officers quickly nodded their heads and said with apologetic smiles on their faces that master Yi Jing definitely wouldn’t do it again. Then they quickly ordered a group of soldiers to send the old man to the military hospital in the military compound.

After several soldiers carried the old man away, Chu Yunsheng put away his battle cloak and walked up to Commander Chen and said, “Commander Chen, I’m sorry for what happened today. What I wanted to show you, you have basically seen it, so I am not going to waste your time. In short, my opinion will not change. I hope you can attach great importance to it. Also…”

Chu Yunsheng took out the freeze gun, continued, “although this weapon was indeed taken by the white-dressed swordsman, he gave it to me later on. Now that everyone knows about his identity, I don’t need to explain it again. I will just cut to the chase, once everyone gets to Shanghai, I will definitely return this to you.”

By not killing master Yi Jing, Chu Yunsheng has already given the military enough respect, so Commander Chen also could not complain anything, he could only say politely, “young comrade Chu, we are soldiers, so we don’t know much about the people, who have superpowers like you, and we have no intention to interfere the problems between you. As long as what everyone is doing is for the good of the country and the common people, then we are still comrades. After all, we still need to work together to overcome the difficulties in the future. Am I right?”

What Commander Chen said was useless. It was just a basic formality, but Chu Yunsheng did not care about it, he also said something politely in return, then planned to leave. With this incident, the so-called birthday banquet could no longer be carried on. Everyone at the scene probably only wanted to have a meeting about Chu Yunsheng’s proposal as soon as possible.

“Mr. Chu, please wait…” Zhu Lingdie suddenly caught up from behind and stopped Chu Yunsheng with hesitation.

Fearing that he might say something wrong again, Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to talk to her anymore, he simply reached out his hand to stop her from saying anything, and said quickly, “Miss. Zhu, I think you should go back and persuade your father. He made the wrong decision.”

After he said that, he simply left without giving Zhu Lingdie any chance to talk.

On the way back to the hotel, it was still Fang Baixiao, who accompanied Chu Yunsheng. While they were analyzing the meeting of the military area command, they also talked a little about the fight in the hall.

Inadvertently, Fang Baixiao said, “Mr. Chu, we were very worried at that time. We thought that your blade would be stabbed into master Yi Jing’s heart. Fortunately, you chose to stab his shoulder instead.”

Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second, and then asked strangely, “what do you mean I chose to stab the old man’s shoulder?”

Fang Baixiao was a smart man. He immediately caught the confusion from Chu Yunsheng’s tone, so he turned his head and nodded seriously, “If you didn’t move the sword slightly, I think the master Yi Jing would have been…”

Chu Yunsheng was alarmed, and his brows also couldn’t help but twitch slightly. He immediately asked, “did you not see that the old man actually dodged it? To be exact, did you not see that he was sucked towards me so he could dodge the attack?”

Fang Baixiao looked at Chu Yunsheng in shock, and then shook his head in confusion and said, “master Yi Jing did not move, it was you, who moved.”

Chu Yunsheng stared at him with his eyes wide open, and said seriously, “commander Fang, you know this is not the time for jokes!”

Fang Baixiao also became serious and said in a deep voice, “Mr. Chu, I can assure you with the honor of a soldier that what I said is true, and I saw it with my own eyes.”

Chu Yunsheng couldn’t stay calm anymore. He was extremely shocked by what Fang Baixiao said.

At that time, because of the vacuum zone, he and an old man were pulled together by a huge suction, which resulted in his sword to be stabbed towards the old man much earlier than it should have been, but how come in the eyes of other people, it became he himself moved the sword.

Chu Yunsheng raised his head and looked at the dark sky. He couldn’t help but think, did someone just modify his memory? So, the feeling that someone removed the space between him and the old man was real? But who would want to move his position?

After returning to the hotel, Chu Yunsheng still couldn’t calm down, he always felt that something was amiss. Sitting on the bed and staring at a pack of cigarettes on the bedside table, he wanted to see if it would suddenly change its position.

In a state of trance, he suddenly remembered some seemingly trivial things in his life, and it made him even more terrified. Because those memories existed way before he entered the Pseudo-Monolith.

He vaguely remembered that when he was in junior high school, he had placed a homework book in his schoolbag, but when he arrived at school, the homework book became a different book. At that time, he just thought that he was too careless.

But there were other accidents as well, for example, sometimes, he remembered clearly that he had put something in a drawer, but later on, he would find it somewhere else!

There were some even more obvious incidents, for example, he clearly remembered that he had closed a door, but later on, he would find that the door wasn’t closed.

Was it really that he remembered it wrong? Or was it something else that he wasn’t aware of?

Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to dig it deeper. He stared at the box of cigarettes for a very long time, trying to mark its position in his mind before he went to sleep anxiously…

At night, he was awakened by a nightmare, but he couldn’t remember the content of the nightmare. Then he quickly looked at the location of the cigarette box again like a neurotic patient.

Then he couldn’t go back to sleep anymore. He was constantly smoking cigarettes one after another until Yu Jian came to knock on the door.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Yunsheng opened the door, with a pair of red eyes.

Yu Jian said apologetically, “Mr. Chu, the people in the capital know that you are here, so they sent some people here from Shanghai again.”

“What do they want?” Chu Yunsheng said unconcernedly. He felt very irritated at the moment, so he didn’t want to think about No.1 that old man’s problem.

Yu Jian said in a low voice, “my superior told me that they said that as long as you accept one condition, they will no longer trouble you, and they will also stop monitoring your aunt’s family.”

“What’s the condition?” Chu Yunsheng gave Yu Jian a cigarette and said casually.

Yu Jian smiled embarrassedly, and said, “they sent over a woman, and said that as long as you…”

Chu Yunsheng was suddenly choked by the cigarette smoke. He couldn’t help but curse, “do they think I’m a fucking stallion?”

Yu Jian couldn’t help but also smile, “so you want to see her or?…”
