In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 265: Trust and Doubt

The pattern looked somewhat familiar...

After the stone throwing practice, Gu Xiang who is worried that he might be too exhausted to get up the next day told him to rest for a while before returning.

After he entered the Flying Opera Group, he went up to the top floor and sitting cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

Afterward, he stood up again and resumed holding a horse stance.

At the same time he discovered a method.... Whenever he held the horse stance, his thoughts became exceptionally clear.

When he returned tomorrow, he would have to ask Rong Qinglei whether he knew something.

Otherwise, he would not have drawn so many attempts on his life.

Yue Mingxuan was drenched in sweat; he raised his sleeve to wipe his forehead and looked out the window.

The sky was beginning to pale faintly, if he did not go back soon, he would be discovered.

So he went next door to call Shang Qinghua.

Back in his sleeping palace, he sat in a wooden tub to relax, yet his thoughts refused to settle.

By now he was almost certain that the matter was the work of the Nine Abyssal Gate.

"Why did you call me back?" came a young voice from behind the screen. It’s sounds as though the speaker was eating something.

Yue Mingxuan lowered his gaze to the flower petals floating on the water. "You’re drawing too much attention. There’s a shadow guard following him whose abilities are no weaker than yours. If you’re discovered, the loss will outweigh the gain."

The clear clink of teacups sounded immediately.

"Didn’t you say there was no need to hide?"

"I have my own considerations. Go back for now. If there’s something, I’ll call you again. Stay quietly in the Flying Opera Group, don’t run around, and don’t let anyone discover you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other side fell silent.

Yue Mingxuan was momentarily stunned.

He then continued staring at the petals in a daze a d letting out a soft sigh that spread through the room.

Before he even had time to rest, Rong Qinglei arrived.

He pulled down his sleeves, which were covered in bruises and purplish marks from yesterday’s stone training.

After covering them, he went to open the door.

Rong Qinglei was still smiling; every time he came to see Yue Mingxuan, he always brought food Yue Mingxuan liked, his expression warm and cheerful.

"Youu wake up so early today, Mingxuan. I thought you might not have had breakfast yet, so I brought some to eat together."

The attendants beside him began setting out the dishes.

Yue Mingxuan lowered his head with a faint smile.

Rong Qinglei said nothing, he’s also not taking the initiative to mention the assassination attempt.

In truth, if Yue Mingxuan had not accidentally discovered that shadow guard, Rong Qinglei would not have intended to tell him at all.

Was he hiding it from him?

"Rong Qinglei... would you ever harm me?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

The wind outside stirred the hair at Rong Zishen’s forehead and covering half an eye.

He smiled gently and then lowering his head to blow lightly on the porridge in his bowl.

"Then what does Mingxuan think?"

He wanted to say that his own instincts had never been particularly reliable.

Rong Qinglei gave him the feeling that he could be trusted, yet with so many secrets involved.

Does the member of the imperial family lacked schemes and calculation? If he trusted people blindly and ended up harming others, what then?

The feelings Rong Qinglei and Rong Zishen gave him were not the same.

The latter carried an obvious ruthlessness at first glance.

To put it plainly, he had returned with clear hostility toward Yue Mingxuan; it was likely that his very purpose in coming back was to target him.

Yue Mingxuan thought that if he were to die at the hands of someone like that, it would not be unjust, after all, if he were killed because his skills were inferior, it could only be called fate.

But Rong Qinglei...?

His eyes were pitch black, like a hollow void from which nothing could be discerned.

Yue Mingxuan thought that a person like that was probably impossible to guard against.

"I want to believe you."

The man before him who is still lowering his head let out a soft chuckle.

He placed the bowl of porridge he had cooled in front of Yue Mingxuan and took away the one that was still steaming hot.

"Then keep believing. I won’t disappoint you."

Did that count as an answer? Yue Mingxuan felt that it did.

At least after hearing those words, his mind felt suddenly clearer.

He believed that no matter how deep Rong Qinglei’s schemes might run, as long as he did not harm him, that was enough.

After breakfast, Rong Qinglei had matters to attend to and left the palace.

Yue Mingxuan sat alone on the couch feeling bored out of his mind as he flipping through the martial arts manuals that Shang Qinghua had found for him.

They were all fairly ordinary and he could understand them without difficulty, but they were truly dull.

As he read them, he began to grow drowsy.

"Your Highness, the Third Prince invites you to the imperial garden to admire the flowers."

Sui He called from outside.

She had been picking some peach blossoms and intending to make peach blossom candy for him.

Yue Mingxuan thought for a moment and sighed, he really could not refuse Rong Tieshan.

While raising his voice, he replied, "Understood. Come in and help me get ready."

...

There were quite a few people in the imperial garden, even the Emperor himself was present.

Yue Mingxuan stepped forward to pay his respects.

The Emperor appeared to be in an excellent mood.

He told him to rise and not stand on ceremony, saying the weather was fine today and that no one should stay cooped up indoors; it was better to come out and get some fresh air.

"Yes, Your Majesty."
