Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 153 Hu Wei's Darkening

Yue Shan roared out his words.

Every word he uttered contained his inner anguish and anger.

Originally, he hadn't thought that much about it.

But now that he's seen what happened between Hu Wei and Shen Miao, how can he remain unmoved?

Shen Miao did not reciprocate Hu Wei's efforts.

Hu Wei's efforts for him were also met with no response.

He was forced to leave Yunzhou to suppress bandits, but his sworn brothers not only did not understand him, but also openly turned against him. Others would only say that he was incompetent in managing his subordinates!

The father and others would even say that they were incompetent in leadership and could not win the respect of the people!

When I came down to suppress the bandits, my encounter with Shen Miao and her affair was also sudden. Her whole family, including Shen Miao, had agreed to marry him. What the hell could I say?

Am I supposed to offend my business partner and even my future boss for your sake?

You want to achieve great things, but I, Yue Shan, have no dreams of my own?

I was originally planning to go back and persuade my family to escape from Zhongzhou, so what do you mean by calling my name now?

Are you openly bringing me up because you're afraid my in-laws won't die fast enough?

Enraged, Yue Shan forcibly restrained himself. If it weren't for this so-called last bit of loyalty, he would have already killed him!

The more Yue Shan thought about it, the angrier he became, and the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

Hu Wei trembled, and a deep sense of regret suddenly flashed through his mind.

Recalling the scenes Yue Shan described, and Shen Miao's scathing rebuke just now, he thought of them.

He lowered his head, utterly despairing...

"turn out to be……"

"Am I really that much of a failure as a person...?"

"So, I'm actually a useless, ungrateful wretch..."

He seemed to have lost all his strength, a tear glistening in the corner of his eye. He looked up at Yue Shan, about to say something to apologize.

Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Hu Wei! You're not wrong! Don't be misled by these treacherous officials!"

A person slowly floated down from the sky.

Xu Tianyi and the others frowned, and saw an old man with his hands behind his back, hovering proudly in the air.

Everyone was shocked.

"Grandmaster! The Imperial Preceptor has actually advanced to the Grandmaster realm!"

"My God! The Imperial Advisor has arrived in person! The Shen family is doomed!"

"What... what should we do? The Shen family is clearly going to side with the deposed crown prince. This has nothing to do with us; we were only forced to come here..."

"Shut up, don't rush, slip away quietly, and don't make a sound..."

"Why are you running? We're on the Shen family's list, we can't escape now. Just stay put..."

"You stay here, we're off..."

……

A cacophony of voices arose.

Many smaller factions began to leave, but most people knew that once involved, running away at this point would please neither side, so most people gradually quieted down and started to watch the show.

. . .

In the stands, Shen Haisheng had already silently begun to adjust the cannon's muzzle and was also quietly leaving, preparing to enter the Ultimate Iron Guard.

Xu Tianyi, watching from the stands, also felt a sense of fear.

A half-step Grandmaster is far from being a true Grandmaster.

This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful opponent.

Originally, he looked down on Xue Mantian, after all, the other party was old and only at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, and he was not afraid of someone of the same realm.

However, given the current difference in cultivation levels, he must proceed with caution.

At this moment, if the enemy launches a surprise attack, I'm afraid no one but myself can stop them.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the snow-covered sky, and his figure actually began to float up, though only ten meters high.

As Xu Tianyi levitated, the fear in everyone's hearts finally began to dissipate.

Inside the main hall, everyone was poised and ready.

Xu Tianyi spoke up: "Xue Mantian, you came all alone. Did you come here to die?"

Xue Mantian glanced at Xu Tianyi indifferently, but inwardly he was filled with jealousy. He knew how Xu Tianyi had acquired his cultivation level, but the other party's cultivation at the age of twenty-one was truly unbelievable.

A sense of greed crept into my heart. If I could obtain the method of possession that my master spoke of and seize this person's body, I, Xue Mantian, could not only gain a large amount of lifespan out of thin air, but also have an incredible future.

He forcibly suppressed his greedy heart and slowly spoke: "Grandmaster martial artists should not act rashly."

And you traitors and rebels will surely be exterminated by His Majesty's army, along with your entire families!

That statement is utter nonsense; the unspoken rule is that Grandmasters cannot be killed indiscriminately.

But the reality is that if a Grandmaster wants to, and isn't afraid of being ganged up on by other Grandmasters, he can kill at will.

Xue Mantian simply felt that his cultivation was too weak to defeat Xu Tianyi.

Xu Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the man had no intention of making a move.

But if the other party pushes too far, I will definitely fight them to the death.

"Since you don't intend to take action, then we'll meet on the battlefield. Hu Wei, I never intended to kill him in the first place."

Xue Mantian chuckled: "Your sweet talk is meant to harm one of my generals, and I can't even say a word?"

Xu Tianyi frowned, and couldn't help but think to himself, "Could he possibly turn the tables for Hu Wei?"

(Eating.)

"You are not welcome at my wedding banquet. Leave immediately, or I will not hold back!"

Xue Mantian laughed loudly: "Hu Wei is loyal to the emperor and loves his country in defending Yunzhou. You rebels are selfish and vain, yet you dare to disturb the mind of my great general!"

As he finished speaking, snow fell from the sky and helped Hu Wei up: "Shen Miao is fickle and disloyal to you. Yue Shan is powerless to suppress the bandits and has colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. Yet you disregarded your safety to come and persuade your friend. Not only did they not appreciate it, but they also humiliated you!"

Hu Wei, you did nothing wrong, they were the ones who were wrong!

Having said this, Xu Tianyi could no longer make a move; to do so now would be seen as acting out of guilt and being unreasonable.

The expressions of the crowd below changed, and they began to discuss among themselves.

"What the Imperial Advisor said seems to be..."

"Keep your voices down, this has nothing to do with us..."

"But that does seem to make sense. Shen Miao was indeed fickle, and Yue Shan even colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country..."

"Both sides are right, both sides are right, stop talking, if you keep stirring things up, we'll all die if a fight breaks out, you idiot..."

……

Xue Mantian truly lived up to his reputation as an old fox; with just a few light words, he completely reversed the situation.

Xu Tianyi looked at him and said calmly, "The truth has already been determined, so the Grand Preceptor need not say more."

Xue Mantian laughed heartily: "Good, good... Hu Wei, what do you say?"

After a long silence, Hu Wei's eyes were now filled with murderous intent.

Shen Miao's betrayal and Yue Shan's heartlessness filled him with immense anger.

At that moment, Xue Mantian's words resonated with him.

Hu Wei chuckled, his lips curving upwards in his signature way.

"The Imperial Advisor is right, I was right!"

Xue Mantian patted his shoulder forcefully.

"As expected of the general I've chosen! She's just a woman; what's the point of talking about love? Isn't it all just a marriage alliance?"

Once you have power and influence, powerful families will naturally be willing to marry their daughters to you!

"Come with me. If you achieve great merit, this Imperial Tutor will personally request His Majesty to bestow a marriage upon you, even a princess would not be out of the question!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Wei's body suddenly began to tremble.

A sinister laugh escaped his lips.

"Heh... Hahahahahahaha..."

"Great! Great! Then I will marry the princess, and I will ask His Majesty to bestow Wei Qing upon me in marriage!"

Yue Shan, Shen Miao, you will regret this!

You all look down on me, Hu Wei, right? And that snobbish Shen family!

I'll make you regret this!!

Hu Wei's roar echoed throughout the entire inner courtyard.

Shen Miao and Yue Shan felt an indescribable sense of shame and indignation!

Xue Mantian was even more delighted upon hearing Hu Wei's words: "Hahaha!! Good! Well done, Hu Wei! This Wei Qing, I will definitely get you..."

"coax!!"
