Snow City, mansion of the City Governor
Xu Que and Situ Haitang were sitting in the living room in silence.
Two servants of the City Governor’s mansion served tea and pastries, then left the living room.
Then Situ Hai Tang said, “Zhuge Liang, why did you make trouble directly upon your arrival?”
“Wow, Hai Tang, you’ve changed! Before, you called me Young Master Zhuge. Now, you call my name directly. Does this mean progress in our relations.h.i.+p?” Xu Que changed the subject.
Situ Hai Tang rolled her eyes snappily and said while shaking her head, “I only know troops and war, I don’t care about etiquette. If you feel offended when I call your name directly, I will continue to call you Young Master Zhuge in the future!”
“Please don’t. In that case, you can just call me Little Liangliang, or Little Gege! But please don’t call me Little Zhuzhu,” Xu Que said with a smile and waved his hand.
Hearing that, Situ Hai Tang immediately got gooseb.u.mps all over.
What the h.e.l.l? It’s okay if I call you Little Liangliang. I could never call you Little Gege, otherwise, my reputation in this city would be ruined!
However, this Little Zhuzhu is quite interesting!
“Little piglet…”
Thinking of this, Situ Hai Tang couldn’t help sn.i.g.g.e.ring. However, she came to herself immediately and felt it was inappropriate to do so. She stopped laughing and said seriously, “Let’s get down to business! What happened today? Why are you in conflict with Shang Wu?”
“This issue is so annoying. b.u.t.tface and I were about to enter the city. However, Shang Wu stopped us and said demonic beasts weren’t allowed to enter! My G.o.d! How is b.u.t.tface a demonic beast? He’s definitely just a beast, right?
“Later, Li and several other soldiers led us into the city. When b.u.t.tface and I had a compet.i.tion in the hotel, Shang Wu wanted to join us instead of fulfilling his responsibilities of defending the city. He was. .h.i.t by b.u.t.tface’s Invincible Thunderbolt Ultimate Spit. Thus, the conflict was created.”
After giving the incident a careful revision by deleting anything he did wrong, Xu Que told the story in a concise and comprehensive way.
Hearing this, Situ Hai Tang looked at Xu Que thoughtfully and said with a faint smile on her face, “What you said is different from what I’ve heard.”
“There is no difference! What I said is all true! If I lie to you, I will stop using my family name of Zhuge,” Xu Que said, patting his chest.
“Really? What I heard was that you said something inappropriate in the hotel that annoyed Shang Wu. Then you fought with b.u.t.tface by spitting at him, and the two of you bullied Shang Wu together!” Situ Hai Tang narrated calmly as if she knew everything clearly.
Xu Que was stunned, then he said with an embarra.s.sed smile, “You aren’t honest. Since you know everything, why bother asking me?”
“No reason. I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I wondered what kind of interesting things you would say. I didn’t expect you to swear on your family name! So, are you going to change your family name now?” Situ Hai Tang looked at Xu Que with a sly smile.
Without concession, Xu Que ran his hands through his hair calmly and said with a smile, “h.e.l.lo, my real name is Xu Que!”
Now it was Situ Hai Tang’s turn to be stunned.
“W-what?” she said in amazement, not believing what she had heard. It turned out that this guy had cheated everyone with a fake name for such a long time!
“Forget the details. Come on, don’t talk, try this pastry!” Xu Que changed the subject hurriedly.
Situ Hai Tang showed the whites of her eyes and said angrily, “This is a pastry provided by my home!”
“Well, how about some tea?”
“The tea was also provided by me!”
“I didn’t deny it,” Xu Que said with a rueful smile.
Furrowing her eyebrows, Situ Hai Tang said seriously, “So the name Zhuge Liang has always been fake, right?”
“It’s not a fake name. A member of the Exploding Heavens Faction is called Zhuge Liang. You could make an inquiry to our faction if you don’t believe me.”
“Then this time you’re not lying to me, right? Is Xu Que your real name?”
“Of course! Haven’t you heard of me? Oh, right, it seems I haven’t used my real name in the Water Nation yet!” Xu Que realized he had made a mistake.
He had thought Situ Hai Tang might be shocked after hearing the name Xu Que. He hadn’t expected that she had never heard this name. After all, this wasn’t the Fire Nation.
“Of course I’ve heard of it!”
Situ Hai Tang said calmly, “Xu Que is a member of the Fire Nation and the Exploding Heavens Faction. One year ago, he killed the Emperor of the Fire Nation and the Old G.o.d of Killing of the Tian Sha at the Original Infant Stage!”
“Exactly. These are just petty things that aren’t worth mentioning!” Xu Que said humbly.
Situ Hai Tang nodded and stopped talking about the events. Then she said, “Although you’re powerful, don’t make today’s scuffle with Shang Wu a big deal! There are two powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Scarlet Yang Sect. More importantly, the Gong Family overseas is their backup! Extremely powerful, the Gong Family is at a high position in the East Continent that is beyond our imaginations!”
Nodding his head, Xu Que said earnestly, “How about talking about how I killed the Fire Emperor and the Old G.o.d of Killing of Tian Sha?”
“Zhu… Xu Que, I’m not going to kid you. This is very important. Don’t turn against the Scarlet Yang Sect!” Situ Hai Tang widened her eyes in anger and said pressingly.
Xu Que spread his hands and said, “I don’t want to turn against them. I’ve just decided to stop. However, your fiancé was bold. He insisted that one of my hands or two of b.u.t.tface’s legs should be cut off, which crossed the line! I only didn’t kill him because of you!”
When Xu Que finished his words, he became more serious.
Because of his temperament and style, he would have killed Shang Wu in such a circ.u.mstance, even if Shang Wu had ten powerful backers overseas!
As a man who feared nothing, Xu Que couldn’t be intimidated by a big family.
“Leave me out of it. I have nothing to do with Shang Wu. The betrothal was determined by the previous generations. It’s none of my business! I told you these issues just to remind you to take care of yourself and avoid making powerful enemies!” Situ Hai Tang said seriously. It seemed the betrothal was something she didn’t want mentioned.
Xu Que nodded with approval, “Exactly! A prenatal betrothal is too feudal! We should pursue free love!”
“I’m talking about the Gong Family and the Scarlet Yang Sect!” Situ Hai Tang said with a headache.
“Oh, they are nothing. Our Exploding Heavens Faction is the top organization of the World of Cultivators and fears nothing! Just now, you said there were two experts at the Infant Transformation Stage in the Scarlet Yang Sect, right? Right now, I could summon over ten members of the Exploding Heavens Faction within an hour who are all in the Infant Transformation Stage! Do you believe that?” Xu Que said calmly.
Situ Hai Tang frowned immediately. Are you going to summon over ten members of the Exploding Heavens Faction within an hour who are all in the Infant Transformation Stage?
Who’s gonna believe you? There are ten powerhouses in the Infant Transformation Stage in the Water Nation at most! Even if all of them are members of the Exploding Heavens Faction, it would be absolutely impossible to summon all of them within an hour!
“What? You don’t believe me? Fine, I’ll gather them now! Just wait!” Without any hesitation, Xu Que dashed out of the mansion of the City Governor, then jumped into the sky by stepping on lightning, disappearing instantly.
