765 This is Deification! (1/2)

Just as expected, as the emperor was told to hold on to his rage, his gaze instantly shifted to Qiu JianHan and he became even more infuriated. ”Ohohohoho! Here I was, wondering which audacious person it was, that I can't even go berserk in front of him. So, it is Qiu Jianhan, who always tells a pack of lies, a mouthful of sh*t, one who commits treason and deceives the emperor as his duty! Old Marshal Qiu! My dear Qiu! Qiu War God! You are good, you are great, you are wonderful! I have the utmost respect for you. Remember to keep it up!”

Qiu Jianhan sat down, exasperated and speechless.

”I remember asking you many times about the true identity of Supreme Cloud, but didn't you say that you were unaware of it? You don't seem too surprised now! Why would you want to run off as soon as you were asked to investigate this, to point of entertaining the idea of leading the western troops to battle to stay out of the way? Why would you want to avoid this so badly? It was to hide from me, to stay away from this troublesome place, the rabble-rouser… I'm sure all of you know about this, but you hid it from me! I am right?”

”Qiu Jianhan!” He let out an angry roar. ”Do you think I am an idiot?”

Qiu Jianhan's cough caught in his throat, threatening to choke him to death.

'I am an idiot?'

'What could I say? Was I able to utter, ”Your Majesty, you are not an idiot” or ”Your Majesty, you are brilliant?'

'it wasn't right, and would only make it worse. So, I had better keep my mouth shut, be good, and take on this raging storm…'

The emperor was enraged, and his anger gradually shifted to Fang Qingtian, then to Leng Daoyin. By the time the emperor got tired of chastising his men and leaned back in his chair to take a breather and drink water, the faces and hair of the four men had been completely sprayed with white, foamy saliva!

This was the first time that His Majesty had been so furious in many years!

How could he not be incensed? The emperor felt as if his very organs had been torn apart eight hundred times.

Now, as long as the emperor pictured the uncouth manners of the four men lowering their heads, he could feel the rage imploding within his heart, threatening to lash out again. Hence, he began cursing.

Even though his stomach was still bloated from how intensively he was fuming, the only feeling he could experience now was dizziness; he did not even have the strength to be angry.

He could only huff while his eyes glared at these men; his gaze struck each one of them like saber blades.

If his stare had truly been sabers, then the four men would have been chopped at least seven or eight hundred times each in such a short amount of time!

”Cough, cough…” Fang Qingtian coughed, cleared his throat, preparing to speak.

”Old fart, why are you coughing? Do you have a wasting disease? When you were like this before, I had to uphold your sky-high honor, and said nothing! But now…”

His Majesty glanced at Fang Qingtian from the corner of his eye. ”Now, who would have known that an old man like you, who has one foot in the coffin and half your body has already gone to hell, can still be alive and functioning to anger me? So, it was Lord Supreme Cloud who is keeping you alive. Ohohohoho, what an immense honor you have…”

Fang Qingtian wore a bewildered look.

'I coughed because I was ready to speak about serious matters. How did I end up being covered in a big, warm fart?'

”Is there anything else you want to say? Say it, say it!” The emperor, who had completely lost control of his emotions, was exasperated.

'You rascals! What do you take me for?'

'You have been hiding from me all you have known about this matter. Do you think that I am a fatuous emperor who is ignorant and has no sense of priority?'

'Would I kill Supreme Cloud once I found him because his merits are undoubtedly higher than those of the emperor himself? You are afraid that I will feel dread, so you all will go to any lengths to hide it from me?'
