ng Gui imdiately froze when he heard his question. He slowly turned and saw Shang He's serious face. He almost forgot. Shang He was hiding in his wardrobe, so he must have heard his and xiao San's conversation earlier.
If this was before, he would've told Shang He off for prying into his life. But, now, they have already resolved their conflicts. ng Gui, also, could be said to have raised Shang He while Shang He was in the critical phase of his life by determining which is right and wrong, so he knows Shang He isn't deceiving him right now, and he is asking him the question sincerely and not hiding any evil intentions.
So, he answered him honestly. "Yes. My real na is Qingbai Yan. I am the son of the Qingbai Kingdom's Prince Regent Qingbai Yu." He said. "The king, Wu Ran's father, his na is Qingbai Yang. Wu Ran's real na is Qingbai Ye, hoping for him – the heir, to lead the kingdom in glory (ye). But, who guessed that a tragedy would happen?" he asked and heaved a sigh.
Shang He didn't speak and just remained listening.
"The Qingbai Kingdom beca the Wuran Kingdom after Wu Ran changed his na after his life changed. Father, together with my uncle Qingbai Yun – the youngest of them three brothers, escaped along with my mother and I who has just been born." ng Gui continued. "After Wu Ran ruled, everything fell in depravity. My father died of sickness while my uncle took and my mother away to hide after Wu Ran started to look for us. In order to stall Wu Ran, uncle decided for us to split up. Then, we ended up in xiao San's county." He explained. "After xiao San and I escaped to your county, the rest… you already know." He finished.
Shang He fell into a long silence. After a while, he spoke. "So, you beca a demonic leader to take the throne?" he asked.
ng Gui didn't answer. Just when Shang He was about to speak, he heard ng Gui finally spoke.
"Before, I didn't." ng Gui answered.
Shang He looked at him.
"When I t you, I didn't think anything like that." ng Gui raised his head and t Shang He's gaze. "But, after you 'betrayed' , I finally decided to beco the king… the emperor." He spoke.
Shang He felt his heart ached. "Ah Yan…" he called.
ng Gui bitterly smiled. He held Shang He's hand and placed it on his cheek. "But, even if I will beco the king in the future, I won't forsake you just for the throne." He softly said.
Shang He's eyes narrowed. "I won't let you do that!" he said and pushed ng Gui to the bed.
But, ng Gui just chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Shang He asked, mad, as he glared at ng Gui.
ng Gui smiled. "Boss Shang." He called. "Even if there'll co a ti that I will want to forsake you, I couldn't." he said. Before Shang He could flare up, he continued. "Du Xiang is already dead, and we will kill Ma Wen. Together." He spoke. "If I'll forsake you after all these, wouldn't that make soone heartless?" he asked.
Shang He frowned and didn't answered.
ng Gui laughed as he hooked his arms around Shang He's neck and pulled Shang He down, making their lips almost touching each other. "I may be a demon who crushes soone's dream, but I definitely won't crush your dream." He said. His lips are brushing against Shang He's lips as he spoke. He looked into Shang He's eyes. "Instead, I'll turn your dream into a reality. So – " he said as he raised his head and placed his lips next to Shang He's ears, then whispered. " – boss Shang, what is your dream?" he spoke in a low voice, seducing Shang He.
Shang He can't hold back anymore and pushed him down again, then started to do him. Boss Shang has always been a man of action, so he answered leader ng's question with a demonstration starring themselves. Fortunately for ng Gui, after he and Shang He reunited as demonic leaders, they beca 'enemies' with benefits who would et up from ti to ti, spoke a few words to each other during the day and do so actions during the night. Or else, his waist and body would've been broken today if they didn't touch each other during these past ten years of separation, no thanks to that girl.
So, after that day they t each other as demonic leaders, the sa night they rolled in the sheets. ng Gui's waist really broke the morning after. Fortunately, he is now a no ordinary human like his uncle. He recovered in the afternoon, but the sa night he and Shang He rolled in the sheets again. They expressed their missing of each other ten years' worth. But, because of their misunderstanding that also lasted for ten years like their missing of each other, they are hostile towards each other.
The mouth says 'no' but the body says 'yes'. So, even though they are 'enemies', but they are lovers in secret. They can deceive themselves but they can't deceive their body and feelings.
"I love you." ng Gui heard Shang He spoke before he entered him.
ng Gui cried. He gasped as he clung to Shang He. His nails dug on the skin on Shang He's back, making him bleed. "I love you, too – " he spoke and whispered Shang He's real na.
Shang He's pupils trembled. Then, his actions beca faster, drilling into Shang He. As for Ma Wen's people? They can wait the next day.
…
Xiao Ming. "…"
Xiao San awkwardly smiled and scratched his cheek. "Uhm… da ge…" he stamred. He doesn't know how to explain to them why ng Gui still didn't arrive, nor could he tell them that he caught Shang He crouching inside ng Gui's wardrobe.
But, even though they don't know the whole situation, but based from xiao San's transparent emotions, they could already guess what happened.
"Forget it." xiao Ming spoke.
Xiao San secretly sighed in relief. Then, he looked at Ma Wen's people they caught today. "What should we do to them?" he asked. Although he ng Gui's right-hand man, but he doesn't like torturing people for information.
Xiao Ming's expertise, however, is this. "As leader's words." He answered, treasuring his words like gold, as usual. His expression is indifferent. More precisely, cold.
Those who grew up with them – xiao San, ng Gui and Shang He, the ones they call 'brothers', call ng Gui as 'da ge' like xiao San. anwhile, those who were recruited after, call ng Gui 'leader' as a sign of respect. ng Gui doesn't require them to worship him – only respect and loyalty are what he needs from them.
"Then, I'll leave them to you." He told xiao Ming, which he received only a nod in response. "…" forget it. This is how xiao Ming is. He thought and left the prison, before he went back to the manor.
But, he didn't go to ng Gui. Not because he knows he and Shang He are currently… ehem. Instead, he wanted to speak to the righteous cultivators Qiu Yuan and Yin Jun, and Shen Shen – who looked the smartest of them three, if possible. But, Shen Shen is currently in a coma…
He passed by a servant and nodded at her before he raised his hand to knock on the door. "Yin-daozhang. Qiu-daozhang. Are you in?" he asked. Although he knows those aren't their real nas, but he still called them with respect.
This is what ng Gui instilled to him when he raised him. In the world, nothing would go wrong if you respect others. Instead, you'll get in trouble if you do the opposite – this has always been true.
"Co in." Fei Yin spoke from inside.
"Please excuse ." xiao San spoke before he opened the door and entered, only to see Fei Yin alone with Cheng Sheng. "Huh? Where's Qiu-daozhang?" he asked in surprise.
"Are we not allowed to go out?" Fei Yin asked.
"You are allowed." xiao San sincerely answered.
"Then, he went out." Fei Yin spoke.
Xiao San. "…" sir, I didn't an anything when I asked.
Fei Yin. "^_^" I didn't an anything, either, kid. I'm just ssing with you.
Xiao San coughed to break the awkward silence. "I ca here to tell you about the antidote." He spoke.
"Shouldn't it be discussed tomorrow?" Fei Yin asked.
Xiao San stared at Fei Yin before he sighed. "I know you are wary of us, and knows we are wary of you." He directly said.
Fei Yin didn't speak.
"That's why I ca to you right now with sincere intention." xiao San continued. "Although there are six days left before your lov… friend's ti is up, but I know you also know that his situation is worsening each day that pass." He said.
Fei Yin's eyes narrowed. "Are you threatening ?" he asked.
