744 Cute Boy Strategy Complete! (1/2)

Shu Si had never been this angry.

As a street urchin, he had long been used to being cheated and used. People in the pugilist world, how could they not suffer from a sword attack? Shu Si was not a sore loser at all. In fact, he had long been numb to defeat.

He was a young man with no background, talent, and luck. At most, he took a small advantage and then suffered a big loss. Sometimes, he was robbed by powerful gangs, sometimes he was exploited by profiteers, but Shu Si was always able to laugh at these.

Because there was no hope, there would be no disappointment. Shu Si did not expect too much, so he was content and happy. No matter if he was betrayed or cheated by anyone, he would not take it to heart.

But at this moment, Shu Si was heartbroken.

”Dead Face, did you do it on purpose?”

Before he woke up this time, Shu Si had no time to think too much. At that time, he only knew that Dead Face probably fell into Luo Xiao's trap, and he was determined to help him out. However, after another deep sleep, he suddenly felt that his thought became a lot clearer, and a lot of problems became unwrapped.

For example, when Dead Face forced himself to seek cooperation with Luo Xiao, did he deliberately let him die? How many secrets were hidden within the Jade Bone Technique? Right now, he could form thoughts as if he was speaking in his mind, was this also deliberate?

In Shu Si's mind, he had an answer for this, but he still had to listen to the other party's confirmation to really believe it.

At this moment, he could not decide how he should feel. Shu Si even thought that, if Dead Face said that everything was just coincidence, would he feel relieved? Would you accept everything seriously and change his mind?

Unfortunately, Dead Face didn't give him room to continue to think.

”Yes, it's all deliberate from the beginning.”

”That includes… letting me die?”

Of course, I have considered the possibility of your death. But, by my calculation, you will not really die.”

”But I've become like this, it's as good as death!” Shu Si roared in his mind, ”Dead Face, why?”

”Because this is better.” Dead Face explained lightly, ”Now that you have obtained Luo Xiao's initial trust, I have been able to completely hide my existence. In my expectation, this is the most favorable situation.”

”The most favorable? The most favorable for who? What do you think of me then?”

Dead Face was silent for a while and then said, ”I thought you could understand this.”

”...”

”It's not easy to win this situation because the opponent is the Fallen Immortal. You are now a nail in Luo Xiao's side; using it at the critical moment can make the opponent bloody. If we have to fight them head-on, I'm afraid it might not be possible to do it even at a hundred times the cost.”

Shu Si shook his head, but his sorrow was deeper. He didn't fully understand the layout of Dead Face, but he didn't have to.

Now that he had fallen into Luo Xiao's hands but didn't die, he really became a nail beside Luo Xiao. However, one could really imagine the price to hide a nail close to the Fallen Immortal.

”So, from the beginning… you thought of me as just a chess piece?”

Dead Face calmly said, ”Yes, from the beginning, you are the best chess piece in my hand.”

”...” Shu Si's heart was as dead as ashes. A moment later, it turned sour and sour. He couldn't even say a word.

However, Dead Face found it strange as he said, ”Do you feel wronged? Strange, why do you feel wronged?”

Shu Si thought that was ridiculous. Couldn't he let him feel resentful when he hurt him like this?

”Before I met you, you were just an ordinary person in a precarious state. I brought you into the world of Immortal Cultivation. I taught you to develop and expand the Qing Feng Enterprise. I promoted you from a nobody to an important business magnate. What… right do you have to feel wronged?”

”...”

”Or, do you think it's a pity for you to die young? It's true that you haven't lived in the City of Immortals for a long time, and you only have a few months as a business tycoon. But in this short time, you have experienced the luxury life that ordinary people can't experience in ten lifetimes. Your daily consumption is enough for a street rat like the old you to spend in a hundred years. The woman you slept with a few days ago is a female cultivator that ordinary mortals could never even dare to think. With such a life, you ought to die without regret, let alone that you didn't really die.”

Shu Si listened to these words and felt even colder.

Of course, he knew how good Dead Face was to him. Thus, he once swore in his heart that he would repay his kindness even if he were to become a bull or a horse in the future… Even when he was emotionally agitated, he thought that he would repay his kindness even if his bones were to crush.

Yes, a teenager with a sleek temperament from the street was actually moved by Dead Face's treatment that he had the idea of dying for other people. Shu Si had long given his life to Dead Face. But, at this moment, he felt cold deep into his bones and his heart broke.

After a long time, he asked, ”Dead Face, for you, am I just a chess piece? From the beginning to the end, you are just using me, without any other… thoughts?”
