1552 How Did You Know? (1/2)

”Is that so?”

With a light chuckle, Xu Que's figure suddenly swept over and landed not far in front of Buttface. He seemed to be smiling and yet not smiling.

”Of course, would Your Holiness lie to you? However, this woman doesn't know what's good for her. The more Your Holiness praised you, the more she kept coming after Your Holiness to attack me. She's simply preposterous!” Buttface toadied up to Xu Que in an especially obsequious manner. Also, he moved closer and closer to Xu Que as he spoke.

”Lord Brother, this woman is extremely hard to deal with. I'm very lucky that you've arrived. You and I, two brothers, can join forces and fight together. We will definitely be invincible. At that time, this woman will be yours!” As Buttface finished this sentence, he had arrived in front of Xu Que.

SWISH!

The next moment, he lifted his arm and grabbed at Xu Que, in an effort to throw him behind himself so that he could burst out like lightning and scuttle forward. He was obviously trying to throw Xu Que to Xuanyuan Wanrong so that he could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.

However, when Buttface's claw pressed down on what he'd thought was Xu Que's shoulder, his paw came up empty!

”F*ck, it's a replica again!” Buttface immediately cursed in rage.

But, on the other hand, this scene made Xuanyuan Wanrong, who was close on Buttface's heels, suddenly slow down.

She hesitated a little. When she'd seen Xu Que earlier, Xu Que's seemingly out-of-this-world palm attack had made a deep impression on her.

Now that she'd realized that only the boy's replica had appeared, his real body must be lying in ambush someplace in the surroundings. If the Mighty King and he joined forces, she was really not certain that she would be able to take them both down on her own.

”Mighty King, don't run. If you assist me in capturing Xu Que, I will definitely let you escape,” Xuanyuan Wanrong said.

”Who's Xu Que? D*mn, just hearing that name, I know he's certainly not a good person. Even you can't capture him, and you still want to drag Your Holiness into the mire. No way!” Buttface continued to flee without the slightest hesitation. He was exceptionally clever at such times. He was definitely the Mighty King of self-preservation.

Xuanyuan Wanrong had a thoughtful look, as if she was pondering something. She asked, ”The young man who was with you the other day was Xu Que. You called him Lord Brother. Don't tell me you've been deceived by him?”

”What? That's him?” Buttface was instantly startled.

”Lord Brother is Xu Que?

”F*ck, which is his real name?

”But to join forces to capture that boy? Dream on! That boy is fierce and cleverer than Your Holiness. There's no f*cking way you will ever capture him.

”Once we capture him, the man belongs to me, and his treasures belong to you. How about it?” Xuanyuan Wanrong continued to speak.

”Huh?” Buttface suddenly stopped and stared wide-eyed as he said, ”Are you serious?”

”Of course!” Xuanyuan Wanrong also stopped as a token of her sincerity.

”Okay, it's a deal.” Buttface didn't hesitate to agree. At the same time, he sized Xuanyuan Wanrong up with a strange expression on his face. He shook his head. He'd absolutely not expected this. Xuanyuan Wanrong had actually been tempted by that boy's good looks and wanted him for herself.

”Oh, woman!”

”Oh, Buttface, you're really too much. Knowing that I'm around, you still sold me out right in front of me?”

At this time, Xu Que's voice could be heard.

He had sent a replica over before to deliberately play tricks on Buttface. But now his real body had just arrived, and he'd heard that Buttface was going to join forces with Xuanyuan Wanrong.

”Huh, boy, you still have the gall to speak to me about tricks? With regard to Your Holiness's theft of the treasure house, weren't you the one who gave the tip-off to the Heaven Palace Sect?” Buttface angrily shouted.

”What?” Xu Que sprang out from the forest on the mountain with a look of shock in his eyes. He looked absolutely dumbfounded as he said, ”You think I was the one who gave the tip-off?”

”Why are you still pretending? Only you and I knew about Your Holiness's theft of the treasure house. Who else could it be if it wasn't you?”

”It really wasn't me. I didn't betray you, so don't talk drivel.” Xu Que repeatedly denied doing it. Anger burst forth on his face. He looked at Xuanyuan Wanrong and shouted, ”Why are you, woman, so vicious? You even made up stuff to drive a wedge between Buttface and I, who are true brothers.”

”Bullsh*t!” Buttface scolded. ”All the people know that the Heaven Palace Sect's Xuanyuan Wanrong detests villains and misdeeds and will never resort to tricks. Boy, when you play dumb, why don't you first understand the lay of the land clearly? She has more credibility than you do.”

”F*ck!”

It was now Xu Que's turn to be surprised. It seemed as if it was not as easy to fool Buttface now that he was the Kylin Patriarch as it had been in his previous life.
