VOLUME 8 CHAPTER 58: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A SECRET LATE NIGHT RENDEZVOUS (6)

Liu Bei POV

I suppressed the impulse and awkwardness in me and hurriedly replied him to prevent him from saying too much.

Thereafter, I immediately turned around and looked at the other 2 and found that Guan Ping was looking about at the decor while Liao Hua was looking ahead with dazed eyes as though she wasn’t interested in our conversation whatsoever.

When I saw this, I heaved a sigh of relief. It’s not like I’m not inclined to discuss topics involving the other s.e.x but under current circ.u.mstances where there are girls about, I feel like it’s not too respectful to do so.

“Aiya, I didn’t think that blood brother is quite the shy type huh.” Liu Biao seems to have lost interest as he ended the conversation with this and put his hands behind his back as he strode forward.

“By the way, elder brother.” I called out as I followed closely behind him. I’d just remembered the matter about the fake driver and wanted to cut to the chase but felt that it was too complicated and required a good amount of explaining on my part so I decided to begin from the very beginning with what Liu Biao ought to know, “Did you send someone to my residence to notify me to wait at the backdoor?”

“Un? Yes, did you not see the letter and the seal there?”

“Yes, I did,” I nodded and smiled helplessly, “But how could I recognise elder brother’s handwriting when I have never seen it before?”

When he heard me say this, Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and he stroked his goatee, his face was serious for a moment before breaking into smiles, “But even so, blood brother came, no?”

Well, that’s easy for you to say when you don’t know everything that transpired between then and now…

“Yes, because I trust elder brother.” I said despite what I felt deep down inside.

“But why did elder brother have to go to such trouble? From front door to backdoor, couldn’t you have just notified me to come over?”

“About that,” When he heard me say this, he chuckled, “All I wanted was to simulate a royal conspiracy. That’s all. There’s no other special meaning behind all that.”

… Ah, I should have known.

From the very beginning when I just arrived in Jing state, he has been doing such things. I should have realised that this was just his playfulness at work. Now that I think about it, if it weren’t for that fake driver, I would have probably guessed it.

“Why? Did you all get nervous for a bit?”

“Yes, we were rather tense.”

“Haha, no need to be so serious.” Liu Biao said as he laughed relaxedly.

Liu Biao would never have imagined that his prank would have caused so much trouble. It’s a good thing that Liao Hua and Guan Ping are a little ways behind so they can’t hear what we’re saying too clearly or they might say something they shouldn’t.

“Of course, I actually do have a reason why I summoned blood brother here today.” Liu Biao withdrew his smile slightly and turned the conversation around. Though he was still all smiles, it was bland and from my point of view, I could tell that Liu Biao was brooding about something.

The something that he is troubled about is probably the difficult topic he mentioned before. When I realised this, I could already identify a few things that he could be troubled with. Even so, I wasn’t ready to answer his questions.

After pa.s.sing through a corridor, we walked through a courtyard. It wasn’t particularly big but the room on the other side of the courtyard was rather large and s.p.a.cious.

I looked about, but the room seemed surprisingly plain from the outside. Apart from 2 doors, there didn’t seem to be any annex rooms. It was just a big empty room about the size of a billiards hall.

“Let’s go there.” Just as I’d expected, Liu Biao pointed at the big empty room and led on.
