Chapter 53
Bai YueSheng blinked his eyes, feeling dazed.
If there was no one else here, he was willing to play along with little angel Lance, however…
"This ah…"
Qiu ChangFeng didn't wait for Bai YueSheng to finish. He laughed coldly. "You're the last one? If you're really the last, then why did he leave you?"
This also made a lot of sense. If Bai YueSheng really wanted to stop with Lance, then he shouldn't have died again.
In one sentence he refuted it. After all Qiu ChangFeng had experience fighting with Lance.
Lance smiled lightly. "It was just a misunderstanding. Ah Sheng thought I would hurt him, that's why he left… and also…" Lance looked at Qiu ChengFeng and said in an interrogating tone. "Someone like you whose made so many terrible mistakes, what right do you have to say this?"
Bai YueSheng's heart thumped. Lance was too sensitive!
He had never told him what Qiu ChangFeng had done. But just based on their short few interactions together, as well as Bai YueSheng's attitude towards Qiu ChangFeng, and also thinking about the order of the worlds, Lance had already guessed this much!
Or perhaps he was only testing for the truth. But his testing method was extremely accurate!
Qiu ChangFeng's face changed and showed a guilty conscience.
At this time Neil who had been thus far silent suddenly spoke. He stared at Qiu ChangFeng. "What did you do?"
Qiu ChangFeng's eyes were dangerous. His thin lips were pressed together and he said in a dark tone, "It has nothing to do with you lot."
Neil was born with a mesmerizing looks capable of killing people, but when he was angry he could be very dangerous. "Ah Sheng and the upgraded human got married, but after going through your world, he directly rejected the possibility of romance. If it wasn't because you did something wrong, then why would he change so drastically?"
{T/N: "Upgraded" human – remember that Jeremy was built as some kind of killing machine. I'm assuming he's some kind of bioengineered human but can't remember if it wasn't mentioned specifically.}
Qiu ChangFeng gave a mocking laugh. "Oh, so it turns out you and Ah Sheng have never been in a romance. Since it's like that, then what right do you have to be here?"
Oh God… this ability to grasp the critical point…. Bai YueSheng really wanted to kneel down to them.
The Jeremy who had been silent previously finally spoke. "The marriage between Ah Sheng and I has not ended."
All three people turned around to look at Jeremy.
Jeremy slowly walked towards Bai YueSheng and wrapped his arm around his waist, pulling him into his arms. He said lowly, "Ah Sheng's vow to me was: For all my lifetimes, I won't ever leave you."
The meaning of these words was very heavy.
Bai YueSheng had indeed said this before, however…. this was a typical cliched wedding vow, all he did was memorize it….
But right now it was used as evidence.
It had to be said that his Majesty the Emperor was very good at putting a target on his back.
All four people were too good at finding the weak spots and provoking others, anyway it was impossible for them to sit down and have a peaceful conversation.
Right now Teacher Bai really wanted to die.
Bai YueSheng: "Lord Jiu, what should I do?"
Ah Jiu sighed deeply: "This is not easy ah."
Bai YueSheng: qaq! (I only just got my emoticons back!)
Ah Jiu continued: "After all there's four people, and one week has seven days, it's not divisible."
Bai YueSheng: "………………………………………………….."
Bai YueSheng said angrily: "You're not my Lord Jiu any longer!"
Ah Jiu: "He."
Since asking help from outside was fruitless, Bai YueSheng could only depend on himself.
"This…."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the four men all turned around and stared at him.
Bai YueSheng had been bold for his entire life. But in this crucial moment, the words that came to his mouth wouldn't come out.
This Majesty the Emperor was someone who liked to fight. He immediately said, "This world is too weak. Ah Sheng doesn't want to destroy it. Let's change to another one, and fight until there's a victor ba."
Qiu ChangFeng laughed coldly. "Sure."
No one was scared of anyone else. Neil and Lance also looked as though they agreed with this simple and ruthless method of solving the problem. But Bai YueSheng panicked.
"No! Nobody can get hurt!" Bai YueSheng yelled immediately.
All four people looked at him with a complicated expression.
Ah Jiu wanted his express his thoughts: "Ai, what a flighty little shou, you want all of them do you?"
Bai YueSheng recognized that he was being too ambiguous so he hurried to add, "It's for the mission. The mission requires that all of you are safe and unharmed."
After saying that the four people's expressions became even more complicated.
Ah Jiu continued to be his spokesperson, "Ai, now you're even a bigger scum. So if it wasn't for the mission, you totally wouldn't care if they lived or died, right?"
Bai YueSheng's EQ was 180, but under these tormenting circumstances it became -180.
This was more than he could take!
Bai YueSheng clenched his teeth. If he was going to be a scum, he would be a scum to the end. This old man has played boldly his entire life, he couldn't lose at the end!
"Basically the situation is like this. I need to complete this mission to the end. I can't give up and I can't cancel it. I can only keep going. I also know that liking someone should only be between two people, it's not possible to like more than one person at the same time. So…. you need to give me some time."
Jeremy immediately understood. "Twenty years, is it?"
Living peacefully in the world for twenty years. He couldn't destroy anything and he couldn't make any big turbulence. His popularity and wealth value couldn't get too high….
Qiu ChangFeng didn't make a sound.
Neil knew how to be a good person. "Twenty years isn't long."
Lance also added, "I've already waited several hundred years, this is nothing."
Bai YueSheng looked pleadingly at Qiu ChangFeng.
Qiu ChangFeng laughed coldly. "In these twenty years I am going to remain on Earth."
He immediately saw through Bai YueSheng's small little plan. But Bai YueSheng wasn't surprised. He merely said, "As long as you don't fight… anything is okay."
The four people didn't speak again, but actually their feelings right now were the same.
Whether it was the Jeremy who had gotten married to him, or the Qiu ChangFeng who had hurt him before, or Neil or Lance who he had feelings of guilt towards, actually they were all the same.
Bai YueSheng had feelings towards them. He liked them. But the difference between those feelings and "love" was something that twenty years could encompass.
The reason they had agreed was because no one wanted to put Bai YueSheng in a tough spot, but the other reason was because they also still needed opportunity and time if they really wanted to obtain Bai YueSheng.
Lance's thinking was very detailed. He suddenly asked, "Why can't you give up the mission?"
Bai YueSheng froze.
Neil also asked, "Why do all of us need to be safe and well?"
The two questions that Bai YueSheng had overlooked was placed in front of his eyes. He had also not considered it before so he didn't know how to answer.
Why did the promotion mission have this kind of setting? It clearly wanted to force him to confront these four people, and have intimate relations with them, and revisit their feelings towards each other….
Qiu ChengFeng laughed lightly. "If it wasn't for the fact there's four of us, then I would really think that this was a mission that I created to force you to love me."
Bai YueSheng: "………………………" How come he felt that this was unexpectedly logical??
Bia YueSheng asked Ah Jiu: "Be honest, have I offended someone at the Time and Space Bureau?"
Ah Jiu made a noise, then said. "…. I've found out some information about Wei Zhen."
Hearing this name, Bai YueSheng completely froze.
