The Tang Old Master calmly gazed at Qiushan Jun. He looked for a very long time, like he was examining a strange stone that seemed devoid of any pleasant features no matter how hard he looked.
Qiushan Jun smiled and said, ”Is this request very strange?”
The Tang Old Master replied, ”It truly is very strange, because the one standing outside the gate is Chen Changsheng, not Xu Yourong.”
Qiushan Jun explained, ”Ah, I feel that Chen Changsheng's request is very reasonable.”
The Tang Old Master asked, ”Why?”
Qiushan Jun grinned and answered, ”Ah, it's because your second son poisoned his older brother.”
The Tang Old Master said derisively, ”What do you know?”
Qiushan Jun replied, ”I didn't see it, Junior Sister didn't see it. Ah, but he's Chen Changsheng. Ah, is he not Shang Xingzhou's student? Ah, if I don't believe him, who do I believe?”
The Tang Old Master's eyes were still squinted, their expression like the ancient well in the courtyard: deep, serene, and growing colder and colder due to the snow.
The voice from his lips was also chilling enough to make one's hair stand on end.
”Even if this is true, so what? Emperor Taizong killed off all his brothers, but he still brought peace and prosperity, becoming a wise sovereign famed throughout the ages.”
The Tang Old Master expressionlessly said, ”Even if my second son poisons me to death, it's all fine as long as the family property remains unharmed.”
This reply caused Qiushan Jun's smile to fade as he calmly stared into the Old Master's eyes.
”Ah, but your second son is colluding with the demons.”
From the moment Qiushan Jun entered the old estate and began conversing with the Old Master, his tone had been very natural and casual, his attitude like a cute and obedient junior.
Many of his words started with 'Ah'.
Ah, unfilial.
Ah, a shame.
Ah, rather nice.
Ah, reasonable.
The young men and women of the south all had very pleasant accents, full of 'Eh's, 'Oh's, and 'Ah's.
This time, though he still used 'Ah', the feeling he gave was completely different.
The snowstorms of the north were too great, so if one wanted orders to be heard from a distance, one had to yell out so that one's fellow soldiers could hear.
'Runaaaah!'
'Chargeaaaah!'
'Killaaaah!'
'Quickly save meaaaah!'
Qiushan Jun had not spoken these words, but yelled these words.
”Your second son is colluding with demonsaaah.”
His expression was very stern, his will determined. His voice was like steel or iron, resounding and cleaving through the snow so that both his surviving and deceased comrades on the battlefield could hear.
No matter how heavily it snowed today, it was impossible to drown out his voice, so everyone around the old estate heard.
One could presume that in a short time, all of Wenshui City would hear of it, followed soon after by the entire continent.
……
……
The old estate was abnormally quiet. All was deathly still, even the falling snow not making a sound.
The Tang Old Master narrowed his eyes and stared at Qiushan Jun in silence. After a very long time, he suddenly asked, ”Was it very satisfying?”
Qiushan Jun had already calmed back down. ”The feeling wasn't bad.”
The Tang Old Master asked, ”Did you need to take it to this level?”
Qiushan Jun replied, ”Some matters, if not yelled out somehow, might never be heard.”
The Tang Old Master asked, ”Do you feel that the entire world must believe your words?”
Qiushan Jun replied, ”I spent twenty years protecting my good reputation. Now that I think of it, it might have been just so that the world believes me just once.”
