Chapter 1554 - 1554 Unknown Love Triangle
1554 Unknown Love Triangle
At this point, Si Cheng suddenly placed his left hand on the table and knocked rhythmically while singing. It was a song that Yu Huang had never heard before. The song was light-hearted and the lyrics were easy to understand, but it was very moving. It was a song that praised friendship and hailed the future.
After Si Cheng finished singing, sorrow appeared in his eyes again.
“But the people who sang this song back then can’t all gather together anymore.” As Si Cheng drank the tea, he suddenly pressed his temples while sobbing. “Yin Mingjue was clearly the most outstanding one among us, but he became a short-lived bastard. This bastard made an agreement with me. He said that when we grew old and retired, we would live in the same house, play mahjong, watch movies, and be old slackers…”
At the mention of this, Si Cheng suddenly couldn’t hold back his emotions and started sobbing softly.
His sobs were filled with sorrow and regret, causing Yu Huang to feel heartbroken as well.
Yu Huang turned around quietly and wiped her wet eyes with the back of her hand. Then, she pretended to be calm as she comforted Si Cheng. “Sacrificing himself was my father’s choice. I think that the moment he chose to self-destruct his beast form, he felt satisfied and proud. So, Second Uncle, we don’t need to feel sad about my father’s death.”
Si Cheng nodded and noticed a handkerchief on the table, so he picked it up and used it to wipe his tears.
Mo Xiao had already opened his eyes. He looked at Si Cheng in annoyance as he said disdainfully, “As a Prime Emperor big shot, you’re actually crying in front of a junior. You don’t even know how to control your emotions. How embarrassing.”
Upon hearing this, Si Cheng also felt embarrassed and blushed. “Sigh, I’m so useless.” Si Cheng sighed and looked up at the blue sea and blue sky outside the window as he lamented, “I came back to my old home to talk about my friendship with the daughter of my old acquaintance, but when I thought about how Brother Mingjue no longer existed in this world, I felt very sad.”
Si Cheng wasn’t an overly emotional person and he couldn’t remember the last time he cried.
Mo Xiao didn’t continue to scold Si Cheng. Instead, he asked, “You said that Yin Mingjue and Jing Ruge had a very tense relationship for a period of time. As their best buddy, do you really not know the reason?”
Every one of them was a prodigy and had their own pride. They were also sworn buddies, so they wouldn’t fall out with each other over ordinary matters. Since Jing Ruge and Yin Mingjue refused to see each other for decades, it definitely wasn’t a small matter.
Yu Huang had not taken this small detail to heart earlier. Now that she heard Mo Xiao’s question, she felt that this matter was a little strange. Yu Huang turned around and stared at Si Cheng as she asked, “Second Uncle, it’s impossible for you not to know why there was a conflict between them.”
Si Cheng couldn’t withstand Mo Xiao and Yu Huang’s suspicious gazes.
“Ahem.” After Si Cheng coughed lightly, Yu Huang hurriedly picked up the teapot and refilled his cup of tea.
Si Cheng took a sip of tea and moistened his throat. Then, he said hesitantly, “Their fallout was very sudden. No matter how many times we asked, both parties refused to tell us the reason. However, through my observation, I think the reason their relationship soured was probably related to Zhang Zhanyi.”
“It’s related to my aunt?” Zhang Zhanyi’s aloof and gorgeous appearance flashed across Yu Huang’s mind, and the suspicion in her heart intensified. “Their relationship has always been very good. Why did they suddenly fall out?”
Without waiting for Si Cheng to explain the whole story, Mo Xiao said firmly, “It’s probably about an unknown love triangle.”
As Mo Xiao laid on the tatami, he supported his head with his right hand and shook the host cup with his left hand. He lamented, “Since ancient times, whenever two men quarreled over a woman, it was always about romance. Let me guess…”
Mo Xiao looked at Si Cheng as he analyzed, “You said that Zhang Zhanyi was almost bullied by the enemy, but it was Yin Mingjue who risked his life to save her. At that time, Jing Ruge had already developed feelings for Zhang Zhanyi. When he saw Yin Mingjue protecting the woman he loved, no matter what, he would be grateful to Yin Mingjue. It was also because of this that the members of your elite team treated him as one of their own and officially accepted him. However, as the person that Yin Mingjue saved, how would Zhang Zhanyi react?”
Mo Xiao’s gaze suddenly landed on Yu Huang. Then, he nodded at Yu Huang aloofly. “Ah Huang, analyze it.”
Yu Huang’s mind raced.
Yu Huang said, “Because of the hero saving the damsel in distress incident, Zhang Zhanyi must be filled with gratitude towards my father. After that, out of gratitude to her savior, Zhang Zhanyipaid more attention to my father. Second Uncle, you also said that as an ascendant from a small world, it’s already very impressive for my father to be able to enter the inner academy. Not to mention, he even defeated a group of geniuses and successfully joined the elite team. He even created the Blazing Moon Art during the academy competition and turned the situation around.”
“At that time, my father was a big star in the inner academy. This hero became more and more dazzling, so it was inevitable that the young and beautiful Zhang Zhanyi would develop special feelings for this hero. I guess that Zhang Zhanyi must have fallen in love with my father later on. When my uncle found out about this, a rift appeared between the buddies.”
“However, the relationship between Zhang Zhanyi and my father was an accident. My father only had eyes for my mother, so he naturally wouldn’t respond to Zhang Zhanyi’s feelings. Because he couldn’t get Zhang Zhanyi’s reciprocation, my uncle might have developed hatred for my father. He resented my father for obtaining Zhang Zhanyi’s heart but turning her down. At the same time, he was worried about his sister’s future happiness. He felt that my father was too dazzling and would definitely attract more women in the future. That’s why the incident that Second Uncle mentioned happened.”
After saying that, Yu Huang asked Si Cheng for confirmation. “Second Uncle, is my analysis right?”
After listening to Yu Huang’s analysis quietly, Mo Xiao finally smiled meaningfully.
Clearly, Mo Xiao was very satisfied with Yu Huang’s analysis.
Si Cheng clicked his tongue and lamented, “To guess the truth so easily, you’re indeed smart.”
“That’s right. The reason Jing Ruge and Yin Mingjue fell out was indeed because Zhang Zhanyi fell in love with Yin Mingjue. However, your aunt has her own pride. She probably confessed her feelings to your father, but after being rejected by your father, she didn’t pester him.”
Otherwise, their complicated relationship would have been exposed long ago.
