Capítulo 1070: Chapter 1072: Making Do for the Night
Jian Chunqiu knew that Chu Ge would definitely curse him in his heart again. He lightly coughed and asked nonchalantly, “You just said the Black Widow is dead, what happened?”
Chu Ge looked up at him, his eyes shimring with a faint glimr.
Jian Chunqiu’s eyes darted around, and he explained, “Don’t get
wrong, I’m just curious. Wasn’t she injured? How could she recover so quickly?”
Chu Ge smirked, obviously not believing him at all.
Seeing that he still didn’t believe him, Jian Chunqiu couldn’t help but glare at him, saying, “Kid, when I ask you a question, just answer it directly. What’s with that expression?”
Chu Ge chuckled, seeing how Jian Chunqiu was so concerned about the Black Widow’s affairs. If he said there was nothing between them, he wouldn’t believe it.
Chu Ge walked to the sofa, first pouring Jian Chunqiu a cup of tea before sitting down himself. He lounged back lazily, tapping his crossed leg, and said, “Uncle Jian, you and I are not outsiders. Are you really not planning to tell
about your story with the Black Widow?”
Jian Chunqiu gave him a deep look. Seeing Chu Ge’s stance, if he didn’t tell Chu Ge about what was between him and the Black Widow, Chu Ge wouldn’t tell him what really happened with the Black Widow!
Jian Chunqiu sighed. He walked across to sit opposite Chu Ge, then picked up the tea and gulped it down.
Chu Ge raised his eyebrows in surprise. He explained, “Uncle Jian, tea is not ant to be drunk like that. It should be savored slowly, just like the story needs to be told slowly.”
Jian Chunqiu pointed at Chu Ge helplessly and sighed, “You, you, this curious nature is just like your old man’s!”
Chu Ge shrugged indifferently. It’s not like he could help it; it’s in his nature.
Jian Chunqiu poured himself another cup of tea. This ti, he took a shallow sip before slowly saying, “Actually, there’s really nothing between the Black Widow and . When I was young back then, we admired each other but were too passionate and focused solely on martial arts, with no heart for romance.
So I ended up abandoning her. When we t again, she was already soone else’s wife, but she was a widow.
Later, I heard from others about her story. After we separated, her life went poorly until her husband appeared, bringing her a ray of sunshine. Gradually, she fell in love with him.
But it didn’t last long. The man cheated, and later, the Black Widow realized that the man’s kindness was all an act. He was actually after the treasure she possessed.”
Chu Ge curiously asked, “Treasure? What treasure?”
Jian Chunqiu’s gaze was empty, looking ahead as though seeing soone else.
“It was the ntal thod for cultivating poison mist.”
Jian Chunqiu sighed deeply, “Actually, the reason she ended up like this is partly because of . Because that ntal thod, I was the one who gave it to her.”
“And then?”
Chu Ge asked again.
“Later, because she had been deceived, she no longer trusted n. By chance, she fell into a sect.”
“Black Witch Sect used to not be Black Witch; it was called the Black Sect. At that ti, the Black Sect had only a few dozen disciples but worked in harmony and was a well-known righteous sect. Later, after the Black Sect Master died, he passed Black Sect to the Black Widow.
Gradually, the Black Widow expanded the Black Sect from a few dozen to over a thousand people, and renad it the Black Witch Sect, cultivating by nurturing poisons.”
Chu Ge rubbed his chin, looking at Jian Chunqiu with so curiosity, “Uncle Jian, you’re really good at avoiding the point. What I want to hear is your story with the Black Widow, not her history.”
Jian Chunqiu’s lips twitched. He feigned anger, staring at Chu Ge, and said, “You brat, I’ve told you everything you wanted to know. Now you should tell
what really happened, right?
Chu Ge lightly coughed and said, “The Black Widow gathered the remaining disciples of the Black Witch Sect to seek revenge on , it’s that simple.”
Jian Chunqiu was montarily stunned, then he thought of sothing and sighed, shaking his head helplessly. He said, “It looks like her wounds haven’t fully healed. Otherwise, with your current power, you wouldn’t be her match.”
But now, it’s too late to say anything.
“Perhaps her death is her best end. Over these years, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to the Black Witch Sect, but in the end, she was besieged by All Sects and beca everyone’s enemy. I think she must have felt really bad.”
Jian Chunqiu’s face was filled with nostalgic sadness. She was once a kind girl, soone who respected life.
What did she experience over these years that made her so cold-blooded?
In truth, Jian Chunqiu felt a bit guilty. He knew that a significant reason why the Black Widow ended up like this was also because of him.
But quickly, Jian Chunqiu collected those sorrowful thoughts. He looked up at Chu Ge with curiosity, asking, “What do you plan to do next?”
“I’m planning to open a new bar.”
Jian Chunqiu’s lips twitched, “That’s not what I’m asking. Since the Black Widow has started taking action, those Shadow Warriors won’t sit idly. They’ve been lurking quietly for so long, they must be plotting so grand conspiracy. You must be very careful.”
Chu Ge pondered for a mont, and he also thought of this. But now, those Shadow Warriors are in hiding, he has no way to guess what their next move is.
Given the current situation, they can only take it one step at a ti.
Chu Ge glanced at the ti, it was already eleven at night. “Alright, Uncle Jian, it’s getting late. You’ve traveled a long way to get here, you should be tired, get so rest.”
Jian Chunqiu shot a look at Chu Ge, coldly snorting, “Of course I know I should rest, but my room was passed to a girl by you, kid, where am I supposed to sleep?”
Chu Ge was taken aback, then rembered that after Tang Xin and Shen Congwen ca, because there weren’t enough rooms, Jian Chunqiu’s previous room was cleaned and Tang Xin moved in.
Chu Ge awkwardly lightly coughed, “Uncle Jian, you just went and looked, huh.”
Jian Chunqiu coldly snorted, “Is there need to look? Just by walking to the window, I could sll a strong perfu. I could guess instantly.”
Obviously, Jian Chunqiu didn’t buy it; he must have gone in, saw Tang Xin there, and then ca to his room.
He said this just because he couldn’t save face.
Chu Ge smiled but didn’t expose him, saying, “Then you can sleep in my place first. You take the bed, I’ll take the sofa.”
And so, Jian Chunqiu spent the night in Chu Ge’s room.
