"It's been a long time since the three of us did something like this, huh!"
"Do you mean fighting side by side, or running for our lives?" Mu Qing questioned.
"Both!" Xie Lian said.
"We clearly do this all the time!" Feng Xin exclaimed.
"Really?" Xie Lian wondered.
_________________________"Gege, next time you make yourself fall like that again, I'm going to get mad."
Xie Lian responded too, "Next time you jump down with me again, I'll get even more mad!"
"..." Hearing this, Hua Cheng's expression seemed to stiffen for a second, as if Xie Lian's words really did make him wary for a moment. Even when facing White No-Face he had never showed
such a wary expression.
_________________________"YOUNG MAN, DON'T BE SO COCKY!"
Yet unexpectedly, what Hua Cheng said next was even more audacious and brazen.
Wielding the sabre singlehandedly, its sharp luster brilliant, he pointed it at White No-Face, smiling, "After all, in the end you're nothing more than an addled old fart with a heart filled with jealousy."
Nevermind Guoshi who had lost all energy to berate his fake smile, both Feng Xin and Mu Qing were stunned too: this man's way to gutsy!
Who would dare say such a thing to either Jun Wu or White No-Face's faces?!
__________________________With each question he'd slam Xie Lian into the rocky wall, so hard Xie Lian started screaming, but what he was screaming was,
"SAN LANG, DON'T COME OVER! I'M FINE I'M FINE! YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY NOT COME OVER!"
__________________________Hua Cheng continued for him, "Afraid that I'd find out Your Highness almost became the White Clothed Calamity, right?"
"..."
Xie Lian was bewildered, "You...?"
Hua Cheng didn't answer him directly, and only bent one knee to the ground before him, raising his head to gaze at him, smiling hummingly, "How's this? Gege, with this, do you remember now?"
How could he not?
At the time, that nameless ghost also frequently bent down on one knee to the ground in front of him like this!
That pale smiling mask overlapped Hua Cheng's current smiling face. Xie Lian's heart shook, his knees buckled, and he slumped to the ground in front of him, mumbling, "...San Lang... it, it was you!"
Hua Cheng let out a small laugh and maintained that posture of one knee to the ground, and that remaining one eye gazed at him deeply, "Your Highness, I've always watched you."
Xie Lian could still only utter one word, "You... you..."
He finally understood what all those seemingly unintentional words from Hua Cheng had meant.
So that was it. He had never imagined that Wu Ming was Hua Cheng!
He had known everything. He had seen everything. He had been there all along!
All of a sudden, thousands of emotions, millions of words swarmed into his head. There was
gratefulness, there was shame, there was heartache, there was wild joy, but above all else, there was incurable love.
Xie Lian's heart was so full it was going to burst, but not a single word to express himself could be squeezed out, so he could only tackle him forcefully, crying, "SAN LANG!"
It was as if that was all he knew to say anymore, and he cried again, "SAN LANG!"
Hua Cheng fell over from the tackle, and sat with him on the ground, embracing him, laughing heartily. All the fears and worries from before were all swept away.
Xie Lian circled his arms around Hua Cheng's neck tightly, laughing and laughing, feeling like he was going to cry.
But before tears had fallen, he abruptly noticed something very wrong.
While Hua Cheng was a ghost, his body had never been different from that of normal people.
Yet, when he was holding Hua Cheng now, those vivid red robes were somewhat transparent.
