In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 304: Obsession with Revenge

In truth, he had not been wallowing in despair during this period of time.

Instead, he had been tirelessly studying the various secret techniques of the Flying Opera Group.

The desire to avenge Rong Qinglei burned so fiercely in his heart that he practiced day and night, barely stopping to rest or sleep as he pushed himself to master those skills.

He wanted revenge as soon as possible.

Even though he knew perfectly well that it was almost impossible, he still could not let go of that thought.

Fortunately, Shang Qinghua had no idea about the extreme and almost obsessive thoughts filling Yue Mingxuan’s mind.

If he did, he would probably believe that Yue Mingxuan had truly lost his sanity.

But Yue Mingxuan continued with this relentless behavior.

He trained constantly and practicing new techniques again and again as if enemies might appear at any moment.

Even Gu Xiang felt that Yue Mingxuan could not continue cultivating like this.

Compared to before, Yue Mingxuan’s personality had not changed very much.

Yet there seemed to be something lodged deep within his heart, weighing heavily upon him and leaving him unable to feel any real happiness.

Thinking about it carefully, that was only natural.

Rong Qinglei had just died.

How could Yue Mingxuan possibly feel happy?

The only thing he could do was temporarily numb his own emotions.

Otherwise, he feared he might truly lose control and rush out to kill someone in his rage.

He had never held much affection for the Beirong imperial family to begin with and now his feelings toward them had grown even colder.

Whenever he thought about how Princess Xueyin would soon have to marry that man Rong Zishen, a suffocating frustration filled his chest.

Princess Xueyin was also someone Yue Mingxuan liked very much.

She was a gentle and kind young woman and he could not bear the thought of such a bright and wonderful person being ruined in Rong Zishen’s hands.

Fortunately, Xueyin’s elder brother was Shang Qinghua.

At the very least, Shang Qinghua would offer her some protection.

But even that could not truly change anything.

Shang Xueyin would still have to marry Rong Zishen.

She had no other choice.

People like them, in the end, were nothing more than sacrifices in the games of politics...

Yue Mingxuan lowered his gaze, yet the movements of his cultivation never once stopped.

Logically speaking, he had only recently broken through the Ninefold Celestial Mystery and it should have been impossible for him to break through again so soon.

But too many things had happened during this time and his own state of mind had been greatly affected.

Combined with the fact that he had been training like a madman lately, his body had gradually adapted to the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

Because of that, there were now faint signs that he might be on the verge of another breakthrough.

When Yin Su saw this, she grew extremely worried.

She still clearly remembered Yue Mingxuan’s earlier condition.

Although people had said that Consort Wan had gone mad and suffered a cultivation deviation because no one had protected her during her training, that explanation was only speculation.

No one truly knew why Consort Wan had died.

Nor did anyone know what secrets were hidden within the Ninefold Celestial Mystery.

No one knew anything at all.

Yin Su’s heart filled with anxiety, fearing that something might happen to Yue Mingxuan. Yet no matter what anyone said, no one could stop him.

Yin Su had always been quick-witted and before long, she made up her mind to go find Shang Qinghua.

Perhaps, aside from Shang Qinghua, no one could restrain Yue Mingxuan anymore.

When Shang Qinghua saw Yue Mingxuan in his current state, he felt a deep ache in his heart.

Although he had never liked Rong Qinglei, the man had still been a prince of Beirong.

Moreover, Rong Qinglei had been someone who understood the situation well enough to listen to reason.

Among the princes of Beirong, he had been the only one willing to hear the advice of others.

Still, Shang Qinghua and Rong Qinglei had never truly been allies and they had always stood on opposing sides.

Now that Rong Qinglei was dead, however, the situation had become extremely unfavorable for Shang Qinghua.

The news of Prince Yue’s disappearance had already caused a tremendous uproar throughout the city.

At the moment, the Emperor himself was deeply anxious.

If Prince Yue had died, then he would be buried in Beirong just like Princess Lianhua and posthumously granted the title of Prince of Beirong.

But if he was still alive, then he would certainly know the cause of Rong Qinglei’s death.

It was impossible for a prince to simply die in the wilderness without explanation.

If word spread like that, what would become of the prestige of the Beirong imperial family?

For that reason, the Emperor had been restless and distressed these past days.

Among all people, he was the one who most urgently needed to know Yue Mingxuan’s whereabouts.

And yet the very person whose disappearance had stirred the entire city into chaos was at that moment curled up asleep in Shang Qinghua’s arms.

Yue Mingxuan had been determined to avenge Rong Qinglei.

During these past days he had not allowed his nerves a single moment of rest.

Shang Qinghua felt deeply distressed watching him like this and in the end he decided to knock Yue Mingxuan unconscious with a swift strike.

If he had not done so, Yue Mingxuan probably would have refused to rest at all.

Rong Qinglei’s death had also brought about another serious problem, who would now control the financial power of Beirong.

Naturally, the Emperor did not wish to hand such responsibility to Rong Zishen.

In his eyes, that son had spent years fighting on the battlefield.

If he were to gain control of the nation’s finances as well, there was a real possibility that he might one day rebel.

But if the position were given to Rong Tieshan, it would be difficult to convince others to accept it.

For a time, the Emperor found himself completely without a solution.
