589 You Misread! (2/2)

The king frowned and said in a deep voice, ”Familiar? How?”

Master Sun’s eyes flashed. He said, ”That day… The superior cultivator who threw Second Prince down from that tower… I fought against him but got defeated by one palm hit… I deeply remembered it… that man’s postures…”

The king’s face turned stiff. He turned to Master Sun and looked at him. His eyes were filled with cold lights. ”Hmm? Do you mean…”

Master Sun was sweating. He said, ”This Steward Song… I think… maybe… he could be that guy…”

The king’s face changed color as he stared at Master Sun’s face. His eyes looked extremely dangerous at the moment.

Master Sun felt terrified like he had never did!

He could feel the killing qi from the king!

It was not against the steward though. It was against Master Sun himself!

It was just for him!

Master Sun quivered.

However, the king only showed that for seconds. He returned to peace soon and looked at Master Sun. He said in a low voice, ”You misread, I am afraid!”

And then he stared at Master Sun.

Master Sun felt wet on his back. He wiped the sweat and said, ”Right. I was defeated by one hit. I must be lost there. I misread it.”

”Sure you did,” the king said again.

”Yes,” Master Sun said. His heart beated even faster.

The king casually said, ”Since you know it now, you should not mention it again. If it spread out to the public, that would cause a huge mistake!”

Master Sun nearly kneeled down. ”Yes, your majesty! I will never mention a word about it in my life.”

The king had shown his attitude and position about that. Master Sun had been following him for so many years. He surely knew what that meant.

[I don’t care if you are right about it or not! Remember you did misread it!]

[House of Ye can not be touched.]

[If the House of Ye falls, the kingdom falls.]

[Especially now!]

[Second Prince committed such a crime. How can we keep going behind this case?]

[Royal dignity? Honor?]

[We have lost it at the beginning!]

[If we stick on it in the name of the Royal House, everybody will treat us as fraud!]

The king blinked his eyes and answer with a ‘hmm’, then he stopped talking.

Master Sun didn’t dare to speak a word. He and the others were only following the king.

However, the king’s breath was unstable, sometimes heavy, while sometimes weak. His face was changing expressions too. Apparently, he was having multiple emotions.

Nobody noticed that the king’s eyes had a sense of confusion. [Song Jue? Was it really him?]

The king believed that the murderer must be somebody else. However, Master Sun’s words made him think deeper. Things were getting complicated…

It seemed everything was suddenly behind a thick cloud.

While he nearly arrived at Ling-Bao Hall, he finally took a long breath out and murmured something.

”The bastard deserves to die. I have no words to say!”

In fact, Master Sun didn’t know. The king decided to put this down because of something bigger!

Even if he decided to call charges to the murderer, could he?
