Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Long Xiaoyuan decided to wait for Liu Suifeng there. He didn’t wait long before Liu Suifeng arrived.

Looking at him, Long Xiaoyuan asked, “Why do you arrive so soon?”

Liu Suifeng looked at Long Xiaoyuan and heaved a sigh. “You didn’t go up there, did you?”

“No.” Long Xiaoyuan shook his head and looked at Liu Suifeng curiously. “You seem to be anxious? Why?”

Liu Suifeng said softly, “There’s something wrong with Pan Mountain. I only found out when I got back. I was about to come here and take a look. I heard the news that you’re here. I didn’t want you to come here, so I stopped you.”

Long Xiaoyuan’s face changed. “What did you say? Something wrong with Pan Mountain? What’s going on? ”

“Ouyang told me. He came here and felt that something was wrong at the time. However, I wasn’t there at the time and I didn’t know what the problem was. Later on, the Shadow Guardian informed me, and I hurried over.”

Long Xiaoyuan said with a serious expression, “Qingzhou is up there.”

“I know. The Shadow Guardian told me just now.” Liu Suifeng nodded. “However, Shi Qingzhou’s martial arts are very good after all, and he should be fine in a short period of time. Besides, he might have noticed something was wrong here and came over to take a look. However your identity is different. I don’t suggest you to go and take risks now.”

Long Xiaoyuan said slowly, “I have Golden King Insect in my body.”

“It is not omnipotent,” Liu Suifeng said immediately, “I have a bad feeling. Don’t go there.”

Long Xiaoyuan didn’t expect Liu Suifeng to say such words, so he nodded. “Okay, I understand. I’ll wait for you here.”

This time, Liu Suifeng didn’t refuse. “Okay, I’ll go and take a look what’s going on there. All of you stay here. Don’t move forward until I come back. By the way, any Shadow Guardian went to explore the way just now?”

Long Xiaoyuan replied, “Yes.” The Shadow Guardian immediately stepped out.

Liu Suifeng looked at him. “Go with me.”

Shadow Guardian nodded quickly.

Liu Suifeng left with the Shadow Guardian.

Long Xiaoyuan stayed where he was.

Liu Suifeng immediately held a sword in his hand after he left. “Where are they?”

The Shadow Guardian immediately pointed in a direction.

Liu Suifeng said. “Hurry up. Lead the way.”

Shadow Guardian had no objections, but just as he jumped up, Liu Suifeng stabbed him from behind.

Shadow Guardian did not expect Liu Suifeng to make such a move and he was caught off guard, falling down.

Liu Suifeng immediately went forward and hit him at certain acupoints. After that, he tapped him on the back of his head.

Shadow Guardian immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood was black.

Shadow Guardian looked confused after spitting the blood. “Doctor Liu?”

“Do you remember what you did just now?”

“Just now?” Shadow Guardian got puzzled. He thought for a moment and said,” I went to check on the Empress.”

Liu Suifeng pursed his lips. “And then? What did you do?”

“Me?” Shadow Guardian frowned, but he couldn’t remember.

Yeah, he went to check on the Empress, but what was going on there? What did he do after that? Did he go back and report?

Shadow Guardian found that he couldn’t give any answers.

Liu Suifeng asked, “Can you move with your current injuries?”

Shadow Guardian stood up, nodding. “Yes.”

Although Liu Suifeng stabbed him from behind, the sword pierced through his back. Moreover, Liu Suifeng was a physician and naturally knew how to avoid fatal injury. After that, he hit the Shadow Guardian at certain acupoints as a treatment. Now, the Shadow Guardian only suffered skin trauma.

Liu Suifeng said immediately. “Alright. Let’s go to the Empress together. By the way, I have to tell you that your companions, the subordinates that Shi Qingzhou brought with him, may have been enchanted with some kind of evil method, which can only be broken by people like you, who have been enchanted by this method but later got sober. Can you cooperate?”

“This is very serious. We need to report to His Majesty.”

“No way!” Liu Suifeng interrupted him.” I can tell you that I don’t even know if you’re really sober now or if you can stay sober. His Majesty can’t be touched by this evil method, and we can’t let him go there!”

Shadow Guardian paused and nodded. “Okay.”

Liu Suifeng hastily said, “Hurry up. I’ll tell you what to do on the way.”

Waiting was torturous. Long Xiaoyuan promised Liu Suifeng to wait there.

However, as time passed, Long Xiaoyuan became more and more uneasy.

He felt that as time went by, something big would happen.

“Qingzhou…” He murmured the name, but the owner of the name was not with him, so he didn’t receive any response.

Long Xiaoyuan felt that things today were strange. Liu Suifeng seemed to have hidden something from him.

However, it was urgent, and he trusted Liu Suifeng, so he didn’t ask. Instead, he listened to him and chose to wait.

But how long had it been? One hour?

They just went to scout. Why did it take so long?

Why did it take so long to bring Qingzhou back?

Long Xiaoyuan stood there like a stone stake.

So did the Shadow Guardians beside him.

It was already dark, but this kind of darkness didn’t matter to the Shadow Guardians.

However, Long Xiaoyuan found that he couldn’t see the mountain clearly, which made him even more uneasy.

After what it seemed like ages, just as Long Xiaoyuan was about to move, a familiar figure suddenly rushed over from the distance. The figure held a long silver sword, which seemed to be covered with a layer of silver light at night.

Long Xiaoyuan was instantly delighted. “Qingzhou!”

At this moment, they heard a loud cry from Liu Suifeng.

“Don’t let him get close to Long Xiaoyuan! Hurry up and stop him!”
