Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler-Chapter 439: It's All Liu Suifeng's Fault! (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Shi Qingzhou listened quietly, and his eyes glinted at Long Xiaoyuan’s excited expression.

Those novel things did not exist here.

After thinking about it, Shi Qingzhou asked when Long Xiaoyuan stopped talking. “Do you want to go back?”

“Do you want to go back?”

Long Xiaoyuan’s excited expression froze.

He turned serious and earnestly looked at Shi Qingzhou, who was waiting for his answer.

“Qingzhou, I was not used to it when I first came here. I wanted to go back. But now, I don’t want to. I have my beloved one and a son here, so I don’t want to go back. Although I have my family in that world, I am not worried about my parents as they are taken care of by my brother. Although that world is colorful with things that are not available here, you are not there. You are more important than my life in my heart, and I would not ever go back to the world without you.”

Shi Qingzhou trembled slightly with affection and shock in his eyes.

Long Xiaoyuan’s solemn confession evidently moved him.

Long Xiaoyuan continued, “Qingzhou, I don’t belong to that world anymore. I belong here, and I will stay here.”

Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice, “I got it.”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled, “Let’s go to sleep.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded.

The two of them didn’t do anything. After lying down, Long Xiaoyuan just pulled Shi Qingzhou in his arms and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

In the darkness, Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan’s face, which seemed to have merged with that cruel face of the past.

Were they the same man?

The cruel man in the past was abominable because he had an incomplete soul?

It turned out that the soul was so important.

No wonder people often said that the face was shaped by the heart.

The soul represented the heart.

Shi Qingzhou smiled and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

This night, Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan slept well.

The next morning, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came over, saying they would go out to check the situation of Ronghua City.

Long Xiaoyuan agreed. “Good idea. Thank you. Don’t take the enemy lightly because of your high martial arts. Take two Shadow Guardians with you.”

Liu Suifeng didn’t object, nodding. “Okay.”

Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand, “Go ahead.”

After they left for a while, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou had breakfast.

After breakfast, Shi Qingzhou said, “My father is not far away, I want to go see him.”

Long Xiaoyuan nodded. “Sure. Make it a secret trip. You can ask your father to order the soldiers at the border to help find Wu Ronghan and Lord.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “What about you?”

Long Xiaoyuan rubbed his chin and smiled. “I’ll stay here, waiting for you to come back.”

Shi Qingzhou paused and said. “Why don’t you go with me?”

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and leaned closer to Shi Qingzhou, kissing his mouth.

“What, Qingzhou, do you miss me? You haven’t left yet!”

Shi Qingzhou pouted. “I think you might be scheming something.”

Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou in surprise and pointed at himself with his finger. “Me? Scheming? Qingzhou, how is this possible?”

“Why not?” Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. “No one knows what you are up to.”

Long Xiaoyuan’s mouth twitching, he said aggrievedly. “Qingzhou, I thought you trust me the most.”

Shi Qingzhou waved his hand. “It is not a matter of trust. Long Xiaoyuan, you have been weird along the way.”

Long Xiaoyuan was lost for words. It was not a good thing that Qingzhou knew him too well.

“Qingzhou, you’ve wronged me. There’s nothing wrong with me. Please look at my serious eyes. They’re not lying at all.”

Shi Qingzhou was defeated by Long Xiaoyuan’s tricks, so he didn’t say anything else.

Soon after, Shi Qingzhou left with a few Shadow Guardians.

After Long Xiaoyuan basked in the sun in the yard for a while, he summoned Ying Qiu and gave him a few words.

After that, Long Xiaoyuan lazily dozed on the lounge chair in the yard.

After a long while, Long Xiaoyuan felt a little cold and tucked himself with the blanket.

At this moment, the feeling of being watched came again.

Long Xiaoyuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a corner of the courtyard.

He didn’t see anyone, but he gave the order. “Go to that place and search thoroughly to see if anyone is there!”

“Yes!” Several Shadow Guardians responded at the same time and went to the corner.

It was a short time from that Long Xiaoyuan gave the order to that Shadow Guardians went to search.

Shadow Guardians soon arrived there and they searched thoroughly as Long Xiaoyuan said.

Long Xiaoyuan watched them on the chair and soon saw Shadow Guardians chasing a figure!

It was a young man, and Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes.

He had good lightness techniques and martial arts, as he looked confident even when the Shadow Guardians surrounded him.

Long Xiaoyuan said lightly, “Capture him, alive or dead.”

Many Shadow Guardians came out at his order. Long Xiaoyuan was surrounded by Shadow Guardians as well.

At the same time, many archers appeared on the walls.

As they didn’t have to catch the man alive, so the Shadow Guardians attacked him fiercely.

The young man who came to spy started to get flustered.

The Shadow Guardians used a suicidal method to hit the young man.

The archers outside were getting ready under the command of Qiu Ming.

At this moment, the young man jumped up. Almost at the same time, several Shadow Guardians went to stop him.

However, two of the Shadow Guardians who got closer to the young man and was going to attack him somehow stopped.

In that instant, the young man rushed out of Shadow Guardians’ encirclement and got near the wall.

Qiu Ming gave the order. “Shoot!”

As he spoke, arrows shot towards the young man.

However, the young man moved quickly like a snake. He could always find a gap in the rain of arrows. In the end, he managed to jump to the top of the wall and kicked off a few archers. The young man took a glance at Long Xiaoyuan and disappeared.

Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. He had a hunch.

This young man was probably Lord.

The man with blood of the three kingdoms who wanted to rule the world.

Long Xiaoyuan pouted and glanced at the Shadow Guardians, who were chasing after him, thinking they would not be able to find him.

As expected, after half an hour, the Shadow Guardians came back to report that the young man was not found.

The young man actually left intact in such a heavy encirclement!

He was indeed powerful. No wonder he was so arrogant.

After Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand and dismissed the Shadow Guardians, he said, “Ying Qiu.”

Soon, Ying Qiu appeared.

Long Xiaoyuan touched his own chin, “Ying Qiu, do you think you can capture him if you fight that man alone?”

“I need a favorable situation. Otherwise, I can’t capture him,” Ying Qiu said honestly.

“Favorable situation…” Long Xiaoyuan blinked and touched his chin, pondering.

How to make a favorable situation?

A moment later, Long Xiaoyuan looked at the Yamen.

Back in Song Ye City, the man and woman had high military arts, but they died in the cave.

The cave was a favorable situation.

However, there were no caves here, but there was a secret room.

If it was in the secret room…

Long Xiaoyuan had a plan in his mind.

If Shi Qingzhou knew about this plan, he would probably give him hell.

However, after seeing the strength of the young man, Long Xiaoyuan thought he had to take the risk in order to catch him.

In the afternoon, Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan came back together.

Long Xiaoyuan smiled and said, “You guys are back. How is it? Did you find anything outside?”

Liu Suifeng nodded. “We did find some traces of Wu Ronghan.”

Long Xiaoyuan was a little surprised. “Did you find him?”

“No. We just found some of his traces. What’s wrong?”

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. “Nothing. I think that the difference between people is big. The Shadow Guardians here haven’t found any traces for so many days, but you guys have the clues right after you came.”

Liu Suifeng paused and said, “Do you suspect that Wu Ronghan did it on purpose?”

“I don’t know.” Long Xiaoyuan spread out his hands. “Maybe you guys are really good.”

Liu Suifeng frowned. “No, the clues we found are very obvious. The Shadow Guardians wouldn’t have missed them.”

“I see.” Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin again, pondering.

A moment later, he said, “Does that mean Wu Ronghan wants to see us? But why?”

“Yeah. Why?”

Everyone tried to guess, but no one could figure out.

After a short time, Long Xiaoyuan waved his hand. “Come on. We have no way to know about it. You can leave now”

Liu Suifeng nodded and left with Ouyang Chuan.

After the two of them left, Long Xiaoyuan paused for a while before he went back to his work.

Meantime, Shi Qingzhou went to see Shi Qingshan.

Shi Qingshan was surprised to see his son.

“Qingzhou?”

“Father,” Shi Qingzhou said, “I came secretly.”

Shi Qingshan nodded. “There is no one here. My tent is very safe. You can say anything.”

Shi Qingzhou nodded. “Father, congratulations.”

Shi Qingshan was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

Shi Qingzhou smiled. “You are going to be a father again.”

Shi Qingshan was bewildered, not getting what Shi Qingzhou was talking about.

Shi Qingzhou smiled and shook his head. “Father, it is stupid of you. Didn’t I make it clear? You are going to be a father again.”

Shi Qingshan mumbled, “Father again…” It dawned on him, and his eyes widened.

“What did you say?”

Shi Qingzhou smiled. “Father, do you understand?”

“Your mother…” Shi Qingshan turned pale suddenly. “No, we can’t keep this child!”

Shi Qingshan said flatly with pain in his eyes, the veins on his forehead bulging.

He was resolute.

Shi Qingzhou was happy to tell his father this news, but he was surprised by his reaction.

His father didn’t seem to detest children.

“Father.” Shi Qingzhou turned serious.

“Father, can you tell me why you don’t want this child? He is the child of you and mother.”

Shi Qingshan took a deep breath. “I’m old. One child is enough. If I have another child, I will become a laughing stock. Besides, I don’t like children.”

Shi Qingzhou frowned.

Shi Qingshan said, “Qingzhou, don’t worry about this. In any case, I can’t have this child. I’ll send someone to tell your mother.”

Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath. “Father, I don’t believe your reason. If this is the only reason, I won’t let Mother give up this child! I don’t agree with that!”

Shi Qingshan turned green. “You don’t agree? Who are you to disagree? You are now the Empress, the member of the royal family instead of the Shi family! Who are you to disagree?”

Shi Qingzhou narrowed his eyes. “Father, what did you say?”

Shi Qingshan said stubbornly, “You’ve heard what I said. I don’t want to say it again. In short, I don’t want this child!”

“You…” Shi Qingzhou was exasperated.

Shi Qingshan said lightly, “If you have anything else to say, go ahead. The decision on the child is made.”

Shi Qingzhou took a deep breath. Suddenly, he didn’t want to say anything, turning to leave.

Shi Qingshan clenched his fists tightly, watching his son leave. After a long time, he wiped his face wearily, sadness in his eyes.

However, there was more resolution…

At night, when Long Xiaoyuan was sleeping soundly, he felt someone enter his room.

He was startled, instinctively opening his eyes.

He smiled at the familiar scent.

“Qingzhou?”

Didn’t this familiar scent belong to Qingzhou?

However, different from Long Xiaoyuan, who was happy, Shi Qingzhou was obviously in a bad mood.

Long Xiaoyuan immediately felt it. He got out of bed and lit up the candles.
