Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

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 relationship.

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 didn’t expect such a thing to happen...

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 didn’t know what to do.

“The night before that fight, our master told me that he was about to die and he didn’t want Ouyang and me to die with him. I promised our master to take him away. But Ouyang didn’t understand what I did. He regarded master as his dearest father, so he couldn’t forgive me. Later, he disappeared after a fight with me. Now he suddenly appeared at this place.”

Liu finished his story with Ouyang, feeling helpless.

After hearing that, Long said slowly, “It turns out to be like this... So he’s been missing for years?”

“Yes, five years.”

“How did that poisonous insect get out of his body?” Asked Long.

Liu shook his head. “I don’t know. Didn’t you ask him?”

Long also shook his head. “I asked, but he didn’t tell me.”

After a short silence, Liu said, “I have no idea.”

When they finished talking, the fight between Shi 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, Shi went to Long.

Long went over and smiled. “Qingzhou, here you are.”

Shi smiled. “Yes.” He didn’t even look at Liu.

Liu touched his nose, guessing that Shi might think he was on Ouyang’s side.

Long hurriedly said, “Qingzhou, Doctor Liu told me something just now. Let’s have a talk.”

Shi didn’t refuse. So, Long held Shi’s hand and led him into the carriage again.

In the carriage, Long told Shi everything that Liu said.

At this time, Ouyang came over.

Liu went towards him. “Brother Ouyang, where have you been these years?”

“Don’t call me that.” Ouyang looked at Liu coldly. “I don’t have a brother like you.”

Liu smiled bitterly. “Brother...”

“I said don’t call me that!” Ouyang hated to hear that and he roared.

Liu pursed his lips. “Ouyang... I know... back then...”

“Don’t mention that.” Ouyang angrily interrupted Liu.

Liu frowned. “Ouyang, after all these years, you’re still so childish.”

Childish... This word obviously provoked Ouyang. He glared at him and it seemed that he wanted to fight again. Then, Liu said loudly, “Ouyang Chuan, it’s our master who asked me to take you away at that time. Go blame our master if you have the guts!”

“You...” Ouyang was so angry that his eyes were wide open.

Liu continued, “If 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!”

Ouyang’s eyes were still wide open.

Liu said coldly, “Ouyang Chuan, do you think I don’t know you? It’s not so much you hate me as you hate yourself. That’s why you disappeared for five years, right? In that case, what are you doing here?”

Ouyang trembled with anger.

Liu continued, “Why do you always want to escape from reality? Are you a coward?”

“You bastard!” Ouyang punched Liu.

Liu took that and the two of them began to fight.

Long and Shi came out of the carriage after they finished talking. “It’s not safe here. I asked a Shadow Guardian to be disguised as me and stay in the palace. I’d better wear a mask.”

Shi nodded.

Long went back to the carriage again and came out soon.

At this moment, Long already had an ordinary man’s face.

Shi looked at him and smiled. “It’s good.”

Long rolled his eyes. “Are you implying that my face is not as beautiful as this one?”

Shi shook his head. “Of course not.”

After a short conversation, they turned to look at the other two men who were fighting there.

“It seems that they’re really furious,” Long said.

“Mhmm,” Shi responded coldly, “Ignore them. Let’s go first.”

Hearing that, Long immediately nodded. “Let’s go.”
