After waking up early in the morning on the next day, Tang Thirty-Six, with two deep black bags around his eyes, went to find Chen Changsheng.
”What happened with you?” Chen Changsheng was very concerned over his health.
Tang Thirty-Six was very exhausted, saying, ”Keeping watch is an exhausting job. Can you guys sleep a little earlier next time?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng felt rather embarrassed and also somewhat guilty. He said, ”It's just for a few days.”
”A few days?” Tang Thirty-Six's volume suddenly increased as he angrily roared, ”In the capital, you also said it was just a few days, and now it's still just a few days! Then tell, just how many days is a few days? Just how many! Just how long do you plan to hide this matter?”
Chen Changsheng was speechless.
Tang Thirty-Six said to him with unbearable bitterness, ”Just count this as me asking you to quickly tell the entire world. Holding and protecting secrets is truly too painful.”
Chen Changsheng said soothingly, ”I also empathize with what you're experiencing, but…”
Hearing the word 'empathize', Tang Thirty-Six instantly became furious. He yelled, ”What? Empathize with what I'm experiencing? **** your empathy! ****your experience! This is all your concern! It doesn't have shit to do with me! You're the one obtaining all the benefits! The snow of the Orthodox Academy, the wind of Mount Han's peak, but you let me suffer! If you have the capability, give me that date and let me eat it!”
Chen Changsheng had originally felt thoroughly ashamed, but upon suddenly hearing the word 'date', he instantly grew alert. Staring back, he questioned, ”What did you say?”
Tang Thirty-Six realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he was in no way ready to concede defeat. ”What's up? I can't even get a little benefit from helping you keep watch?”
Chen Changsheng felt very helpless, saying, ”Didn't we already discuss this at the start, that it's improper to listen, improper to look?”
Tang Thirty-Six feigned shock, saying,”You molested her?”
(TN: The word for 'improper' used in the previous line, 非礼, can also mean 'molestation' or 'harassment'.)
At this time, Zhexiu walked in. Seeing their combative stances, he asked, ”You're going to fight?”
”No.” Tang Thirty-Six used a ladder to descend, explaining, ”I asked him to help me check on where my idol went, but now it turns out that he refuses to tell me.”
The idol he spoke of was Liu Qing.
After the successive departures of Su Li and the enigmatic woman, the once third-ranked assassin in the world was now probably the number one assassin on the Ranking of Assassins.
But even the chief assassin was still an assassin, the number one killer still a killer, unable to be exposed to the light of day.
Just as Zhexiu once said, an assassin participating in the Boiling Stone Summit was seeking his own death.
Chen Changsheng had once asked that steward of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to assist him in smoothing things over, but not long after the steward had agreed, the Demon Lord had rendered him into pearls of blood on the floor.
Thinking of how Liu Qing had been severely injured by the Demon Lord and his very unique identity, the three couldn't help but be concerned.
Within the Heaven Lake was an island, its garden pervaded and surrounded by warm mists that never lifted. Staying on that island was not necessarily comfortable, but it greatly assisted in recovering from injuries. Especially after being wounded by the biting cold of demon techniques, one could recover very quickly here.
At this time, Liu Qing was on this island, recovering from his injuries.
He did not need the concern of Chen Changsheng and his friends, and even less needed them to request the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets to release him.
The Ranking of Assassins was issued by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, but very few people noticed the significance of this fact.
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets sat across from Liu Qing and asked, ”What do you plan to do now that Su Li has left?”
Liu Qing was not a member of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, but he had done many things on its behalf.
In fact, even Su Li had done quite a few things for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets back then.
Liu Qing considered the question, finally replying, ”If Sir does not oppose, I want to go to the capital.”
”Go to the capital for what?”
”Kill Tianhai.”
”Then, I oppose.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets calmly said to him, ”The Empress is my good friend, and I also don't want to send you to your death.”
Liu Qing replied, ”Then let's put it aside for the time being.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets suddenly asked, ”Chen Changsheng…just what sort of person is he?”
Liu Qing very seriously pondered this for a very long time, finally saying, ”He is a good person.”
The Elder of Heavenly Secrets slightly arched his brows, rather surprised by this answer.
Whether it was Su Li, Liu Qing, or even himself, none of them were good people.
What they loathed the most were so-called good people.
But when Liu Qing said that Chen Changsheng was a good person, he did not spy any ridicule or teasing on Liu Qing's face, only earnestness and respect.
This answer was very important, at least to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets.
