In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 355: Parting for Love

Shang Qinghua said nothing.

It was true.

He did not have the strength or the courage to stand against his master.

There was very little he could do right now.

"Actually, Tang Youyou already told me everything. She told me before you even knew. She said you can only marry someone whose called the Imperator Jin."

"You already knew?"

"I know you are the leader of the The Black Archon, and I know you once saved me. But even if you like me, we cannot be together. Your mother was also part of the The Black Archon. That is why she died young."

"You know all of that too?"

"Your master came to find you for this very reason. I want to fight against it, but I do not want you to die early." Yue Mingxuan lifted his head to look at him, his eyes already filled with tears.

Shang Qinghua lowered his gaze and said nothing.

He had no grounds to argue, because everything Yue Mingxuan said was the truth.

"You’re afraid that I might die, aren’t you?"

"Yes. I’m very afraid that you will die. I don’t understand the methods of the The Black Archon, but I do know that Rong Zishen’s rebel forces are not few. To be able to suppress a rebellion in such a short time, the The Black Archon is certainly no small organization."

"That’s right. The power of the The Black Archon is far beyond what you can imagine..." Shang Qinghua sighed.

Not a single word Yue Mingxuan had said was wrong.

The influence of the The Black Archon was simply too vast.

That was also one of the reasons he could not easily break away from it.

Even if they fled to the ends of the earth, the The Black Archon would still be able to track them down.

There truly was nowhere for him and Yue Mingxuan to escape.

And yet, he still wanted to try.

If not for his fear that Yue Mingxuan might be killed by the people of the The Black Archon, he would not have hesitated for so long.

Now Yue Mingxuan feared for him in the same way he feared for Yue Mingxuan.

When two people love each other, they always fear the other might be hurt because of them.

It was precisely because of this feeling that he had never forced Yue Mingxuan into anything.

"Then what have you decided?" At this moment, Shang Qinghua chose to respect Yue Mingxuan’s decision.

"Xieshang and Beirong both belong to you. The royal family of Nanxie has already been hunting me down, so I’ve decided to return to Dongyue." Yue Mingxuan let out a sigh.

It was the choice he least wanted to make.

There was another reason as well.

The Nine Abyssal Gate was in Dongyue.

He wanted to go there and investigate Rong Zishen’s whereabouts.

Rong Zishen had nowhere else to run.

Aside from the Nine Abyssal Gate, he had no other power to rely on.

So he could only return there.

And if he was there, then he would not be able to escape.

Yue Mingxuan decided that he would capture Rong Zishen himself.

It would serve as revenge for Rong Qinglei and also as a final gift to Shang Qinghua.

He left four Dumdum guns with Shang Qinghua, just as he had once promised.

Shang Qinghua accepted the gift, but could only watch helplessly as Yue Mingxuan departed.

For now, he had no choice but to obey his master.

Once the situation in Beirong stabilized, he would go to Dongyue.

No matter how difficult it might be, he would bring Yue Mingxuan back.

Only then did he finally understand why his mother had once insisted on marrying the Emperor of Beirong.

His feelings for Yue Mingxuan had already reached that same depth.

Dongyue was, in truth, the original homeland of the Fifth Prince. Yet Yue Mingxuan had never once set foot in this place before.

Still, as soon as he arrived, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Perhaps it was the lingering awareness within this body awakening.

Returning to his homeland for the first time in this state of consciousness, Yue Mingxuan could not help but feel a trace of nostalgia.

The original owner of this body had been born and raised here.

Unfortunately, what followed had not been kind.

Yue Mingxuan let out a quiet sigh, unsure whether it was for the Fifth Prince or for himself.

He felt a deep sense of sadness.

At first, he had not liked Shang Qinghua at all. Yet by the time he realized his feelings, everything had already come too late.

It was almost certain now that Shang Qinghua could not be with him.

Yue Mingxuan understood this clearly, yet he still refused to accept it.

Stubbornly, he clung to the belief that they could still be together.

He did not even know where that belief came from.

Perhaps it was nothing more than an excuse to comfort himself.

When people are faced with things they cannot accept, they often create illusions.

It is a kind of self consolation.

Yue Mingxuan understood this perfectly, yet he still could not bring himself to break free from that fragile comfort.

"Actually, that Shang Qinghua... he’s not so bad," Yue Mingxuan murmured.

A faint blush rose to his face, like the rosy clouds at the edge of the sky.

Still, he knew that whatever fate he shared with Shang Qinghua had already come to an end.

Shang Qinghua was, after all, the ruler of Beirong and Xieshang, and also the leader of the The Black Archon.

Although there was not much information about the The Black Archon within the Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall, Yue Mingxuan had managed to learn a little here and there.

He was not a fool.

He understood the stakes involved.

"The Black Archon is indeed a formidable organization..." If not for his fear that Shang Qinghua might suffer punishment from the The Black Archon because of him, Yue Mingxuan would never have chosen to leave so decisively.
