Transcending the Nine Heavens

“Let’s not talk about that anymore. What are you planning to do about this little miss?” Tie Bu Tian asked Chu Yang.

“Let’s talk about that after we leave the palace.” Chu Yang bowed to Du Shi Qing and said, “Thank you Senior Du. I owe you once again!”

Chu Yang’s words were mysterious. Owe…? These words were ordinary, but even Du Shi Qing did not expect that when he reach the end of his road, Chu Yang will save his life because of these words!

Chu Yang was a conscientious man; in the future, he would still remember that Du Shi Qing had saved Mo Qing Wu this time. Moreover, Du Shi Qing was an elder worthy of his respect…

Du Shi Qing laughed, and waved his hand dismissively. He paid no mind to it…

Walking out of the royal palace, Tie Bu Tian looked at Chu Yang holding the little miss like a precious treasure, and could not help but frown, “Minister Chu, what I am about to say will not be pleasant to you, but I have to remind you… It is very likely that this little miss will be your weakness.”

Chu Yang frowned and looked up at Tie Bu Tian. He asked, “What do you mean?”

“I can see that you sincerely like this girl. However, if Diwu Qing Rou’s spies discover this, then…” Tie Bu Tian said sincerely, “I am afraid this will put her in harm’s way! Elder Martial Brother Chu, be careful!”

“That’s right!” Chu Yang was startled and a little afraid. He did not think of this point before; he and Diwu Qing Rou are mortal enemies… Diwu Qing Rou was famous for his unscrupulous methods. It was really possible that he would target Qing Wu. Chu Yang gave Tie Bu Tian a profound look, “Thank you for reminding me!”

With two lifetimes of guilt and longing toward Mo Qing Wu, even if he was heartless, seeing his greatest motivation in life appearing in front of him… how could he not give the most loving care?

Chu Yang sat on Tie Bu Tian’s carriage and looked at Mo Qing Wu in his arms. He felt grateful that the heaven and earth had finally allow the two of them to see each other…

Mo Qing Wu is still young, only a little girl, but I can wait. We will live together for the rest of our lives!

The carriage stopped at a secluded spot; Chu Yang jumped down with Mo Qing Wu in his arm. With a few flashes, he disappeared from Tie Bu Tian’s sight.

Tie Bu Tian looked at Chu Yang holding this little miss and softly sighed…

Tie Bu Tian did not know who she was. And since Chu Yang did not volunteer this information, as a friend, Tie Bu Tian would never force Chu Yang to do so. This was a trust.

But Tie Bu Tian could feel that Chu Yang whole heartedly loved and cared for this little miss, and would not change because of his advice.

Or, even if he wanted to change, he could not change…

Tie Bu Tian sighed and muttered, “So you are not a heartless person after all… I wish you luck!” He turned and said softly, “Let’s go.”

The carriage started to move once again.

In Tie Bu Tian’s mind, even though Chu Yang was acting like an impulsive youth, this was just some harmless fun; it would not have an effect on the big picture. When the time comes, Chu Yang would once again be a cold and calculating machine, without any emotions… Completely devoted to the end goal.

Slaughtering was no different from an everyday meal for Chu Yang. That was why Tie Bu Tian maintained his belief that Chu Yang was a heartless leader who was capable of taking decisive actions to achieve his goals.

He did not pay attention to anything; power, wealth, and people’s lives were all inconsequential to him. In addition, he would not even care about his own life when he gets mad!

But today, the appearance of Mo Qing Wu had given Tie Bu Tian a glimpse of Chu Yang’s affection and devotion.

While he did not know if this was bad or good for Chu Yang, he felt really happy… he was happy for his friend. He finally realized that Chu Yang was not a heartless machine, but a person of flesh and blood, filled with emotions.

Chu Yang returned to Bu Tian Pavilion; he followed a secret passage and entered his room. Wu Qian Qian was in there, wearing a ferocious mask and a black robe covering her whole body. When she saw Chu Yang suddenly returned, with an unconscious girl at that, she was surprised.

Seeing Chu Yang’s current expression she decided not to ask any questions.

“Where is the person from this afternoon?” Chu Yang asked.

“Still unconscious.” Wu Qian Qian said casually, “His injury is very serious.”

“Good! As long as he’s not dead!” Chu Yang said quickly, “Prepare a carriage for me. After dark, I will immediately bring them to Emerald Flow Lake.”

The constructions at Emerald Flow Lake were now completed, and it was now habitable.

Wu Qian Qian nodded then added, “The prince said the Tang Xin Sheng matter will be entirely up to you; there is no need to go through him.”

With an “ah,” Chu Yang said nonchalantly, “I already know. Notify Heavenly Secret Hall to stop investigating Tang Xin Sheng. On the other hand, give orders to Fierce Blood Hall to send to people to capture Tang Xin Sheng tonight! They must take care to look like brigands or something else. No matter if it is success or failure, anyone exposing his identity or involvement of Bu Tian Pavilion will be killed… nine generations of his family will be killed!

Wu Qian Qian shuddered and sudden raised her head, exclaiming, “You… you are too bold!”

“Bold?” Chu Yang frowned and said, “Quite the opposite; I am worried that taking action tonight might already be too late.”

Chu Yang had some regrets. He should have captured Tang Xin Sheng right after looking of the documents. He had dealt with too many officials that way; surely, this would make Tang Xin Sheng more cautious.

Tang Xin Sheng was capable of climbing to this position as a spy; he was definitely intelligent. And he would absolutely be able to sense the approaching danger!

Therefore, Chu Yang did not hold much hope for Fierce Blood Hall’s mission tonight. He was currently thinking about what the next move would be if Tang Xin Sheng could not be captured.

Regardless of whether they could capture him or not, the next step was critical.

Originally, Chu Yang had wanted to go himself, but the appearance of Mo Qing Wu made him abandon that thought. Mo Qing Wu was still unconscious; he wanted to be next to her and take care of her.

The affairs of the world are important, but next to Mo Qing Wu, they are nothing. No matter how important these affairs were… they were not his wife…

Emerald Flow Lake.

Chu Yang carefully placed Mo Qing Wu on his bed. Then he sat on the side, resting his chin on his hand… watching dreamily.

I will try hard to struggle against the heavens and go against fate. I would suffer ten thousand lifetimes just to be with you in this one! To compensate for all your sufferings…!

I love you!

Qing Wu…!

They were not supposed to meet for another ten years, but they had now met early. Seeing the young face on his bed, Chu Yang sighed. In his heart there was a bittersweet emotion. He was happy and, at the same time, confused about what he should do…

I have grown up, but she is still young like this… Qing Wu, when will you become Mo Qing Wu of the previous life?

One dance… one bitter life…

If that is the case… I would rather not ever be able to see your beautiful dance so you could live happily…

On the other side of the wall, there was a moan, followed by rustling noises… a brawny figure appeared at the doorway. He asked with a hoarse voice, “How is little miss?”

Chu Yang quietly stood up and looked at the man in black who was standing at the door.

The man in black hastily rushed into the room. He looked at Mo Qing Wu lying on the bed… then he carefully put up his finger to check her breathing… afterward, his face relaxed as if a weight had been lifted. He sat down on a chair in front of Chu Yang and smiled, “Little miss all right, thank heavens!”

This man in black had strong steps and moved quickly. While his face was still pale, there were no serious issues… His injury had recovered well. Chu Yang could not help but lament… the healing ability of this King level expert was to strong…

This person looked at Chu Yang with eyes filled with gratitude. He said, “Thank you! Little martial brother; it was lucky you were there today! This great kindness… I shall repay in the future!”

“I did not help you because I was hoping for a repayment.” Chu Yang smiled and said, “How are you?”

“I am fine; my body is just a little weak.” A strong hatred appeared in the man’s eyes, “At Connecting Cloud Mountain, we were attacked by Hei Mo’s people. I did not expect there would be two King level men amongst them… They managed to punch me twice because of a momentary mistake. But that’s not important; what I worry about is little miss. Ahhhhhh….”

“Connecting Cloud Mountain…” Chu Yang was shocked. Connecting Cloud Mountain was more than seven hundred miles from her. This person was seriously injured by Hei Mo’s people… and yet he was able to run more than seven hundred miles in a day to get to Iron Cloud Citadel!

This was not even taking into consideration the time he spent asking for information on the road… To know that Du Shi Qing was at Iron Cloud Citadel, he must have spent a lot of time listening and asking around…

This person was truly strong and resilient.

“Little martial brother, what family are you from? Why don’t you look familiar?” The man took a few breaths, then he took the tea cup next to Chu Yang, and drank it all. He wiped his mouth and asked.

“What do you mean family?” Chu Yang frowned.

“What family in Middle Three Heavens are you from?” The man in black opened his eyes wide.

“I am not a person of Middle Three Heavens.” Chu Yang smiled helplessly.

“Then how do you know our little miss? Even her name? And even about Hei Mo?” This man was a crude person; so even with ordinary questions, his eyes still opened wide and his sideburns stood up.

“…” Chu Yang found it a little difficult to explain this. Perhaps he should just say, “I am your little miss’s future husband who was born again…!”

If he had said that, Chu Yang was sure that, even as his savior, the man would punch him a few times in the mouth.

“This is a long story!” Chu Yang sighed and quickly changed the subject, “Why have you come here?”

The man looked at Chu Yang’s face and suddenly showed an understanding smiled, “Ah… So that’s how it is; I understand; I understand. Hahaha… If that is the case, I won’t ask anymore…”

Chu Yang was confounded.

What do you understand? What’s that? So that’s what? Even I still don’t understand…

“I am an orphan; this is also a long story…” The man in black sighed heavily, “It can’t be discussed in a few words… Do you have wine?”

Chu Yang was dumbfounded. This man is really jumpy. A second ago he was sighing, and now he asked for wine… Plus, he still has a serious injury like this…

As if he saw through Chu Yang’s hesitation, the man beat his chest stating, “It’s fine. If you have wine, go ahead and bring it out… There’s nothing to worry about. Even if it makes my injury worse, I must drink. Aahhhh… I want to use wine to chase away my sorrow….”

Chu Yang’s face twitched; motherf*, you can even say that… With such an injury and you want to use wine to chase away your sorrow… send you to the underworld is more like it….
