180 Lin Zhou: Hei Yue 3 (1/2)

Both of their team were pretending to be fighting. They had lazily played with their swords and rammed the swords to the swords of their respective partners, making a quite exaggerated fighting sound. Both parties were sitting down because they also felt tired due to the previous real fighting between them. They felt silly for doing this but they couldn't just ignore their masters' order.

If felt weird because they were enemies before... and now, they have to act together.

They didn't forget to make sounds of pain once in a while. They wanted to make the fight appear to be as realistic as possible in order to deceive the enemy.

”Arghh...”

”Ughhh...”

Or attacking sound...

”Hyattt...”

”Ciattt...”

They started to become creative due to feeling bored. Once they started getting out of hand, Lin Jian or Yu Wen would be reminding them to behave properly!

Lin Jian would probably laugh merrily when looking at this scene some other time, however, he couldn't do that at the moment! He was one of them... He glared at Yu Wen in hatred. Without him, he would be talking with Yao Ying and Hei Yue inside that room. Now... he is reduced to doing this along with him!! Annoying... so annoying!

Back into the room, Yao Ying was still exchanging a look with Hei Yue. After a few moments, Yao Ying decided to break the silence, ”Now... can you tell me more about you?”

”Sure... what do you want to know?” Hei Yue asked Yao Ying back.

”Are you really the leader of A Thousand Swords?” Yao Ying finally decided to ask the most important question.

”Yes...” Hei Yue admitted honestly.

Yao Ying furrowed his eyebrows. Did the old man really tell the truth? But what did Yu Wen mean by saying that Qing Hui never let them go? He started to feel that all of this was indeed a big conspiracy.

”But... why don't I feel a hint of qi from your body?” Yao Ying asked in confusion. ”I heard that A Thousand Swords' leader has a very high martial arts skills but... how come you...?” Yao Ying didn't know how to finish the sentence. After all, it must be this man's sore spot.

The calmness in Hei Yue's eyes changed into a fit of anger all at once. ”I was poisoned by the one that I called my own brother!!” He said in a slightly loud voice. ”The poison that he gave me was able to destroy my inner dantian without a trace. The poison was tasteless and it was mixed with my drink! Who would be suspicious of his own sworn brother?” He looked down sadly. ”He ruined me!”

Yao Ying somehow had a bad premonition. ”Don't tell me... It's his doing...”

”Yes!! This is Qing Hui's good work!” Hei Yue was vexed whenever he remembered the betrayal. ”The man that I took as my sworn brother. I never thought that for his ambition... he would betray me!”

”But... why? What ambition?” Yao Ying asked, even though he already had a gut feeling about what Hei Yue would say next.

”What else?! He's trying to take control of A Thousand Swords. A Thousand Words would never be able to survive without us guarding them. I also don't know why!! That's what I want to ask him... the reason...” When saying the last part, Hei Yue looked defeated.
