Chapter 180: Discussing Business (I)
Ouyang Chuan was seven years older than Liu Suifeng.
When Liu joined the sect, Ouyang had been staying with the old man Tian Xuan for twelve years.
That was to say, Ouyang was accepted by Tian Xuan when he was two years old. So they had a very close relations.h.i.+p.
When Liu went there, he was only seven years old and Ouyang was only fourteen.
They stayed in the mountain with Tian Xuan. There were only the three of them and they needed to go down the mountain if they wanted to meet some farmers. Moreover, that mountain was very steep and it was hard for them to leave there.
Therefore, Ouyang and Liu were very close back then.
When Liu was eighteen years old, Master Tian Xuan went down the mountain and ran into some trouble.
Some mysterious people chased after him.
Tian Xuan was the master of Liu and Ouyang. Naturally, his martial arts had reached the peak.
Even so, there were too many people and they were all very powerful. Tian Xuan was outnumbered and it was dangerous in the mountain.
At that time, Liu and Ouyang had already had some feelings for each other.
However, no one made it clear, because both of them thought they still had a lot of time.
They didnât expect such a thing to happenâ¦
When those bad men attacked them, Master Tian Xuan stopped those people and asked Liu and Ouyang to leave.
Ouyang refused, but Liu knocked him out and took him away.
Later, Master Tian Xuan died in that battle.
Therefore, Ouyang hated Liu and said he was a traitor. Liu didnât know what to do.
âThe night before that fight, our master told me that he was about to die and he didnât want Ouyang and me to die with him. I promised our master to take him away. But Ouyang didnât understand what I did. He regarded master as his dearest father, so he couldnât forgive me. Later, he disappeared after a fight with me. Now he suddenly appeared at this place.â
Liu finished his story with Ouyang, feeling helpless.
After hearing that, Long said slowly, âIt turns out to be like this⦠So heâs been missing for years?â
âYes, five years.â
âHow did that poisonous insect get out of his body?â Asked Long.
Liu shook his head. âI donât know. Didnât you ask him?â
Long also shook his head. âI asked, but he didnât tell me.â
After a short silence, Liu said, âI have no idea.â
When they finished talking, the fight between s.h.i.+ and Ouyang also came to an end.
Ouyang looked miserable and his clothes were all torn.
His face was black and blue and there were a lot of footprints on the front. His hair was also loose.
This man was such a pitiful sight!
As the fight stopped, s.h.i.+ went to Long.
Long went over and smiled. âQingzhou, here you are.â
s.h.i.+ smiled. âYes.â He didnât even look at Liu.
Liu touched his nose, guessing that s.h.i.+ might think he was on Ouyangâs side.
Long hurriedly said, âQingzhou, Doctor Liu told me something just now. Letâs have a talk.â
s.h.i.+ didnât refuse. So, Long held s.h.i.+âs hand and led him into the carriage again.
In the carriage, Long told s.h.i.+ everything that Liu said.
At this time, Ouyang came over.
Liu went towards him. âBrother Ouyang, where have you been these years?â
âDonât call me that.â Ouyang looked at Liu coldly. âI donât have a brother like you.â
Liu smiled bitterly. âBrotherâ¦â
âI said donât call me that!â Ouyang hated to hear that and he roared.
Liu pursed his lips. âOuyang⦠I know⦠back thenâ¦â
âDonât mention that.â Ouyang angrily interrupted Liu.
Liu frowned. âOuyang, after all these years, youâre still so childish.â
Childish⦠This word obviously provoked Ouyang. He glared at him and it seemed that he wanted to fight again. Then, Liu said loudly, âOuyang Chuan, itâs our master who asked me to take you away at that time. Go blame our master if you have the guts!â
âYouâ¦â Ouyang was so angry that his eyes were wide open.
Liu continued, âIf you were more powerful back then, you would have saved our master. You should blame yourself rather than me! Besides, it was an accident. No one had expected that!â
Ouyangâs eyes were still wide open.
Liu said coldly, âOuyang Chuan, do you think I donât know you? Itâs not so much you hate me as you hate yourself. Thatâs why you disappeared for five years, right? In that case, what are you doing here?â
Ouyang trembled with anger.
Liu continued, âWhy do you always want to escape from reality? Are you a coward?â
âYou b.a.s.t.a.r.d!â Ouyang punched Liu.
Liu took that and the two of them began to fight.
Long and s.h.i.+ came out of the carriage after they finished talking. âItâs not safe here. I asked a Shadow Guardian to be disguised as me and stay in the palace. Iâd better wear a mask.â
s.h.i.+ nodded.
Long went back to the carriage again and came out soon.
At this moment, Long already had an ordinary manâs face.
s.h.i.+ looked at him and smiled. âItâs good.â
Long rolled his eyes. âAre you implying that my face is not as beautiful as this one?â
s.h.i.+ shook his head. âOf course not.â
After a short conversation, they turned to look at the other two men who were fighting there.
âIt seems that theyâre really furious,â Long said.
âMhmm,â s.h.i.+ responded coldly, âIgnore them. Letâs go first.â
Hearing that, Long immediately nodded. âLetâs go.â
