In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 311: Fake Death Plan

He couldn’t help but wonder... what was Shang Qinghua doing right now?

As he continued thinking, Yue Mingxuan ended up falling asleep on the table without realizing it.

Meanwhile, the very person he was thinking about was frantically searching for his whereabouts.

Yue Mingxuan’s sudden abduction had been like a bolt from the blue.

Shang Qinghua searching for him everywhere like a man being possessed.

He had mobilized nearly all the shadow guards at his disposal.

Only afterward did he remember that within Beirong there was an organization known as Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

It was a place that held the most intelligence in the world.

If even they had no information on Yue Mingxuan, then he would have no choice but to search blindly.

Yet no matter how much he racked his brain, he would never have guessed that Yue Mingxuan was actually inside Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall itself.

"Why is there no news of Yue Mingxuan anywhere?" This search was bound to end in failure.

Yue Mingxuan had no desire for anyone to discover his whereabouts, so naturally he would not allow Xie Yunlan to reveal any information about him.

Moreover, Yue Mingxuan was now the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

The place he currently stayed in was a hidden chamber within the tower, somewhere known only to its members.

Unless Shang Qinghua overturned all of Beirong, it would be impossible for him to find Yue Mingxuan.

Unaware of all this, Shang Qinghua continued his anxious search, while Yue Mingxuan who is forced into becoming the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall sat leisurely in a chair while eating pastries as he studied the mind reading technique.

Unlike other martial arts, this technique required constant practice to master.

Yue Mingxuan carefully read the instructions and occasionally used Xie Yunlan as a test subject.

"I’m telling you, stop trying to guess what I’m thinking. You’re getting worse and worse at it," Xie Yunlan sighed.

He did not understand this so-called mind reading technique, but earlier Yue Mingxuan had been able to guess his thoughts with uncanny accuracy.

Now, however, he kept getting everything wrong.

Naturally, Xie Yunlan did not know that this technique only worked on strangers.

For people familiar to Yue Mingxuan, it was practically useless.

All he knew was that no matter how Yue Mingxuan tried to guess lately, he always missed the mark.

When he wanted to eat, Yue Mingxuan would say he needed to relieve himself, how were those even remotely similar?

"You keep me locked in here all the time. Guessing your thoughts is the only thing I can do," Yue Mingxuan said, spreading his hands with an innocent expression.

At the very least, this gave him a reason to try and get out.

Xie Yunlan did not realize there was a hidden intention behind Yue Mingxuan’s words and simply replied, "Only after you’ve learned it can I let you leave."

"I’m the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, after all. You can’t treat me like this, can you?"

Perhaps because he practiced lightness skills so often, even when standing still, Xie Yunlan could not remain completely motionless.

Yue Mingxuan almost wanted to call him hyperactive though even if he said it, Xie Yunlan probably wouldn’t understand.

"You have to take responsibility for Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall. I don’t know what the rules were before, but since you must be honored as the master, I don’t think you’re necessarily capable of bearing that responsibility." Xie Yunlan looked him up and down. "Keeping you here is for your own good. Learn some life-saving skills sooner rather than later, so you don’t die too early."

At once, Yue Mingxuan conjured an ice needle in his hand and flicked it toward Xie Yunlan. "A skill like this should be enough to keep me alive, right?"

Xie Yunlan’s eyes widened so much it seemed he could fit an egg in his mouth.

"My goodness—you’re actually this strong!"

"Then I can leave now, right?" Yue Mingxuan sighed.

Although staying in Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall was indeed safe, he could not remain here forever.

"The entire city is searching for you right now. If you want to leave, it won’t be that easy." Xie Yunlan shook his head. "I don’t want the master that Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall finally found to end up captured by the Beirong royal family."

After thinking it over carefully, Yue Mingxuan had to admit that made sense.

Staying hidden within Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall meant no one knew where he was.

But if he left, where could he go?

Back to Flying Opera Group?

In truth, there was not much difference between Flying Opera Group and Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall.

If he had to stay confined in one place without freedom, he might as well be dead.

But he still wanted to leave.

"I originally wanted to escape Beirong..." Yue Mingxuan shook his head. "But now it seems I can’t leave so easily."

"That’s right. You’ll need a special method. For example... faking your own death?" Xie Yunlan suggested from the side.

The idea, admittedly, was not without merit.

After all, by faking his death, he could "live" again elsewhere under a new identity.

However, Yue Mingxuan had only just learned such a technique.

He was not certain he could succeed and more importantly...

Would Shang Qinghua really let him go so easily?

Yue Mingxuan gave a bitter smile. Yet at this moment, there seemed to be no better option.

If the Emperor of Beirong were to discover that Rong Qinglei had died trying to save him, he might very well be forced to be buried alongside him.

"This method isn’t bad. Help me prepare... I’ll fake my own death."

"After faking your death, where will you reappear?" Xie Yunlan was clearly surprised that Yue Mingxuan actually agreed to the plan.

After all, people of this era were deeply wary of anything related to "death."

Seeing Yue Mingxuan accept it so readily was astonishing.

But then again, the master of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall had always been someone extraordinary.
