Chapter 43: Don't Worry in the Misty Rainy Season (Part 3)

"Cough cough..." 

Being forcibly dragged through the forest by two men in black, TianBi couldn't suppress his cough any longer, 

his internal organs churning restlessly. 

A faint, bitter smile appeared on his lips as he closed his eyes. After hiding for over a decade, has this day finally 

come? In truth, he didn't care about life or death; after enduring those tortures in the secret prison over a decade 

ago, what was left to fear…

It's just that he can't accept it. 

He hasn't seen that chubby, adorable little brother from back then in a long time. If he were to die like this today, 

that person would go crazy! 

He doesn't want to drag him down anymore…

Just when he was feeling utterly hopeless, a sudden gust of wind swept in. 

The person holding TianBi increased their speed even more, but was blocked by Si Cang Qing. Before he could 

make any move, he felt a sharp and swift object pierce through his lungs. Instantly, he fell from the treetop, and 

TianBi on his shoulder also fell down.

Si Cang Qing leaped over and held Tian Bi in his arms. 

Another man in black, with a voice torn by rage, shouted, "Qing Ying—" 

Coldly watching the person convulsing on the ground, Si Cang Qing's eyes were icy. Originally, he had shown 

mercy, intending to leave a live captive for questioning, but now it seemed…

After the man screamed, he charged at Si Cang Qing even more recklessly. 

Although he was holding someone in his arms, Si Cang Qing effortlessly dodged the attack, his eyes narrowing. 

Since these people were determined to die, he would grant them their wish!

The left palm flipped and the airflow transformed everything into flowing flowers, about to strike the person's 

chest. However, at that moment, Si Cang Qing suddenly leaped to dodge the silent attack from behind, and a 

white figure flashed past in front of him.

Once he regained his composure, the figures of the two dead and mad men in black were no longer visible. 

Si Cang Qing stood silently in place, eyes closed, feeling the surroundings for a long time. The sound of the night 

wind rustling through the trees filled the air, and the night insects and mountain orioles called out alternately. 

"Cough, cough..."

TianBi leaned against Si Cang Qing's embrace, coughing incessantly. Even in the pitch-black forest, his pale face 

was very noticeable. 

Si Cang Qing held him with one arm while the other gently stroked his back, slowly channeling true energy to 

help him adjust his internal injuries.

"No, no need," TianBi said somewhat bashfully, trying to push Si Cang Qing away, his words filled with guilt. 

"I've caused you trouble. You've just exhausted too much of your energy. You can't right now..." 

"It's fine," Si Cang Qing interrupted his refusal, picking him up and using lightness skills to fly back.

Nervously shutting his mouth, TianBi stiffened in Si Cang Qing's embrace, not daring to move. When his fingers 

slightly shifted, he felt a warm flow pass by, and he exclaimed in surprise, "You're injured!" 

Si Cang Qing didn't care at all, "It's nothing."

If it weren't for that person attacking from behind at that time, aiming at TianBi, he wouldn't have been caught 

off guard. Moreover... 

Thinking of something, the coldness in Si Cang Qing's eyes intensified.

"I'm really sorry," TianBi couldn't see Si Cang Qing's expression clearly, just murmured, "Is it because of me 

again..." 

How many people have to die for everything to stop? Why, after hiding for so many years, do those people still 

find him?

TianBi stared blankly at the trees rushing by, feeling utterly despondent. 

"It's not your fault."

"Huh?" The sudden cold voice made TianBi pause for a moment, unconsciously repeating, "It's not my fault?"

"Mm," Si Cang Qing said slowly, "they were trying to assassinate me. Your whereabouts weren't discovered. 

After the Valley of Death incident back then, those people thought you and the Divine Doctor had fallen to your 

deaths." 

"You, you..." TianBi felt uncomfortable all over, so he self-deprecatingly sighed and said no more. This person is 

truly terrifying; in just a few days, he has uncovered my entire past…

If only I had such determination back then, those tragedies wouldn't have happened! 

"Your Highness, may I be so bold as to make a request, just consider it a reward for treating the Emperor's 

illness," on such a night, covering the blush on his face he mumbled, "Actually, I don't want any reward..." 

The more I explain, the more confusing it gets.

"Go ahead!" Si Cang Qing straightforwardly interrupted his explanation, not intending to accept favors for no 

reason. Even though the Divine Doctor had left a promise back then, it had nothing to do with this person. 

"Since Your Highness is aware of TianBi's background," TianBi hesitantly said, "May I ask you to protect my 

younger brother TianYang's life if he encounters trouble in the future? Although it might be asking too much, 

but..."

But he had no choice. Even though TianYang occasionally sent him news telling him not to worry about him, he 

was no match for those people back then, so how could TianYang, who was weak and alone, resist now?

At that time, there were rumors that TianYang used his beauty to please others, and he couldn't rest assured…

Nowadays, this young man in front of him, although ten years younger and only of similar age to TianYang, gives 

a sense of trust and reliance. TianBi knows that Si Cang Qing's promise is definitely more reliable than anything 

else... 

This firm belief, he cannot explain clearly, but he chooses to trust instinctively.

"Okay." Si Cang Qing answered without hesitation, leaving TianBi momentarily stunned. He had only approached 

it with a trial-and-error mindset, not expecting the other party to accept so readily. 

Without further conversation, TianBi quietly leaned against Si Cang Qing, allowing him to transfer his true 

energy while flying towards the inn.

◇Cang Huan◇Seven Palaces◇

Of course, TianBi didn't know that Si Cang Qing's easy agreement was also based on his own considerations.

Now, Si Cang Qing could almost be certain that Cheng TianYang was definitely not a good person. He was like a 

lurking tiger; once he counterattacked, it would be impossible to defend against him.

After all, Cheng TianBi is the generous and benevolent Master Bi Yue, with a kind and pure heart. Even though 

he has been persecuted, he has not changed much. Now, how could his younger brother be as useless as he 

thought?

Since the new policy of Canghuan, border disputes have been increasing. Although all of them are caused by the 

Guangyu Kingdom, Si Cang Qing would not be so naive as to believe that the Hongcheng Kingdom had not 

meddled. Even if that emperor has no ambition, it is still uncertain who holds the power in the court now. 

The war among the three kingdoms is unavoidable.

He didn't mind if there was only one Guangyu country, but if the two countries joined forces...

The most difficult country to control now is Hongcheng State. Not many of Si Cang Qing's men have actually 

sneaked into the court, and they cannot take any action unless it becomes a critical moment.

So... 

He needs a perfect chess piece!

As part of the deal, he would naturally ensure that man's life was spared. Of course, whether his influence would 

be needed or not was still uncertain. After all, the war hadn't started yet, so he didn't need to worry too much. 

Who knows what TianBi would think if he knew about Si Cang Qing's convoluted thoughts!

Not knowing how much time had passed, just as TianBi felt that his previously disturbed internal organs had 

returned to their original position, Si Cang Qing's body gently landed, and they returned to the courtyard where 

they had stayed before. 

Those black-clothed men dealt with by Qi Shuangran had also been cleaned up by Feng Xiang.

"Qingqing—" 

As soon as he landed, Si Cang Qing heard a seductive call. But in an instant, the seduction turned sharp. "What 

are you doing?" 

Qi Shuangran, with an exaggerated expression, pretended to be sorrowful. "Qingqing, marrying behind my back 

is one thing, but now, right in front of me, hugging and cuddling with your new love, you..."

Looking at Qi Shuangran's face full of indignation, Qiu Ping Tian burst into laughter, "Seventh Young Master, 

your act is a bit too fake!" The original worries completely dissipated, and he looked at Si Cang Qing with relief, 

"Qing di, you weren't hurt, were you?"

Originally, TianBi was flustered and embarrassed by Qi Shuangran's teasing words, but this question reminded 

him. He immediately jumped down from Si Cang Qing's arms, adopting a serious demeanor like a doctor, "Your 

Highness has sustained some external injuries, we need to bandage them quickly."

Stunned for a moment, Qi Shuangran said in a strange voice, "Wow, even the Prince, who is unmatched in martial 

arts, can be injured by someone?" After all, he just couldn't get over being defeated by Si Cang Qing twice. 

Hearing this, Cheng TianBi showed a look of guilt, "It's all my fault, Your Highness. He was ambushed while 

saving me." Then he went to prepare the medicine box.

Qiu Ping Tian also found it somewhat strange. That day on Wuming Mountain, he had witnessed Si Cang Qing's 

reaction. "Qing di's martial arts are so formidable, even if ambushed, he would surely be able to evade." 

Si Cang Qing looked at Qi Shuangran with indifference, "In today's martial world, who else still practices the 

Duanqing Divine Art?" (斷情神功 duàn qíng shéngōng : Emotions severing miraculous skill)

"The Duanqing Divine Art?" Qi Shuangran was slightly stunned. "Didn't it become lost after the death of the 

Elder of Duanqing skill thirty years ago?"

His expression changed, and Qi Shuangran stared at Si Cang Qing with a piercing gaze, "You mean, the person 

who attacked you used the Duanqing Divine Art?"

Following Cheng TianBi's request, he tore open his sleeve and allowed the other party to bandage him. Si Cang 

Qing said nonchalantly, "Should be!" Although it was just a moment, he could roughly judge that the other party's 

technique was similar to the Duanqing Divine Skill. Moreover, only the Duanqing Divine Skill could stealthily 

ambush him like this!

Qi Shuangran seemed to be thinking about something. "The so-called most insane evil skill in the world, 

the Duanqing Divine Skill is even more evil than the Phantom Technique. After the corpse of the old man of 

Duanqing was exposed in Wancheng, there has been no news since then."

Si Cang Qing nodded lightly without saying anything more. He glanced at the wound on his arm, which was just 

scratched by the palm wind and was nothing serious.

"Qingdi," Qiu Ping Tian, who had been silently listening, asked with some concern, "Do you have any idea who 

the assassin was?" 

"Hmm." Si Cang Qing replied, not wanting to continue the topic, "It's late, you all should rest!" They needed to 

get up early tomorrow to continue their journey, and they estimated they would reach the capital by evening.

Hearing Si Cang Qing's words, Qi Ping Tian and TianBi, along with the others, did not linger and all left. Only 

Qi Shuangran sat by the window, swinging his legs. 

Si Cang Qing paid him no further attention, walked straight to the bed, and prepared to rest.

"Qingqing," Qi Shuangran swayed and came to his back, clumsily groping his Si Cang Qing's waist, "You still 

owe me a favor, you know!" 

Si Cang Qing turned around and moved aside, sitting on the bed without raising his head, replying, "Hmm."

"Then," Qi Shuangran's gaze flickered, and he sat down beside him, deliberately whispering in Si Cang Qing's 

ear, his breath warm and suggestive, "I want your body." 

Si Cang Qing replied calmly, "Not possible."

"You," Qi Shuangran's face darkened, "Do you want to break your promise?"

Si Cang Qing replied calmly, "The so-called conditions are what I can do. If I can't do it, why do you mention it?"

“Excuses!” Qi Shuangran muttered, then broke into a smile, "Fine, I don't want to rely on threats to get you either. 

Hehe, what I want is your willing heart..." 

Si Cang Qing, too lazy to bother with him, noticed that the other party had no intention of leaving, and with a 

slight impatience, waved his hand and sent the other party flying out.

Accidentally hit by Si Cang Qing's internal force, Qi Shuangran couldn't dodge in time and was thrown out in a 

sorry state, his anger rising: 

"Si Cang Qing——"
