VOLUME 8 CHAPTER 69: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS A SECRET LATE NIGHT RENDEZVOUS (17)

Liu Bei POV

“…” I lowered my head and deeply reflected on myself before nodding, “I understand.”

I was indeed thinking about this, and have been for some time now. But as someone from the future, how should I face this era?

Though I’ve grown accustomed to this era, at the end of the day, I do not belong here. Which is why I’ve been plagued by the question of how I ought to choose my own path as someone from the future and as Liu Bei.

— Tell me honestly, blood brother, do you have any ambitions?

Ah… I suddenly recalled my conversation with Liu Biao, in particular, the part which Liao Hua wasn’t privy to.

I s.h.i.+fted my gaze upwards and looked at Liao Hua, troubled over whether I ought to share with her something even I myself felt embarra.s.sed about saying.

“… Liao Hua, do you feel that saving the world counts as a path?”

“Eh?”

I closed my eyes tightly and forced out those words. When I finished, I slowly opened my eyes and saw Liao Hua with her eyes, and mouth, wide open in a daze. When she saw me looking at her, she hurriedly closed her mouth.

“Umm…”

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha!”

“!”

Just as I was thinking about how to explain myself, rambunctious laughter erupted and my heart nearly leapt out of my throat. This laughter came at the precise moment when it would deal the most damage to my psyche.

The mentally battered me looked about to find the source of the laughter only to find that it was Guan Ping who was still sound asleep.

“Hahaha… Ah… I can’t eat anymore.”

So it was just her sleeptalking huh. But what boring sleeptalk that is, and what’s so funny about that…

“Saving the world huh…”

On the other side, Liao Hua repeated my words once more. I looked at her and found that she was currently supporting her face with her hand and looked as though she were deeply considering what I said.

“… If that is your path,” Liao Hua said as she raised her head and looked at me, revealing a rare smile, “I’m very excited to see what comes of it.”

Eh?

“Is something like that really okay?”

“Why not?” She nodded, “If you were to tell the others, I’m sure they would be very happy to hear it.”

“Is that so…” I decided to maintain my septicism about this.

… But, how I put this… Even though I’m still shocked about this, I do indeed hope to continue walking down this path.

As Liu Bei, and as myself.

“Ah, there’s one other thing. You should tell everyone about how someone is after your life. Everyone has more or less guessed as much, but please don’t make them worry.”

“Ah, I got it.” I nodded. I did intend on letting them know soon anyway.

Just then, an idea flashed in my mind and I decided to poke fun at Liao Hua who had been speaking to me coldly the whole time.

“By the way, was Liao Hua concerned about me as well?”
