Ch54 - Jiang Xu's Confession

Looking at Liu Mufeng’s sad face, the hero opened his mouth, embarrassed and didn’t know what to say.

Hearing Liu Mufeng’s words, the heroine frowned deeply.‘Was it an heirloom? I’m afraid I can’t take the bracelet now.’But she really wanted that bracelet.

“Mufeng, don’t be sad. Sister Meng is only joking with you. She won’t rob you of the heirloom left by your mother.” Jiang Xu immediately comforted Liu Mufeng, holding his arm and thought to himself, ‘Fortunately, Mufeng responded quickly enough. Otherwise, it would be troublesome.’

“It’s okay. It’s all in the past.” Having said that, Liu Mufeng sighed softly.

“I am sorry, Fellow Daoist Liu, it was me who was abrupt and thoughtless.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, the hero apologized with a smile.

“Those who don’t know are not guilty. Fellow Daoist Xiao doesn’t know that this is my mother’s heirloom, so how can I blame the two of you?” With a wave of his hand, Liu Mufeng expressed that he did not mind.

The heroine smiled embarrassedly and didn’t say anything anymore. Jiang Xu had already spoken. So, if she still insisted on buying the bracelet, it was expected that Liu Mufeng would definitely turn his face.

“Brother Zhantian, why did you and Sister Meng come all the way to Black Dragon Mountain to gain experience? Isn’t there several Demon Beast Mountains near Jialan City?” Looking at the male protagonist, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

“Ah, Sister Meng and I are just walking around and taking a look.” Smiling, the male protagonist replied perfunctorily.

“Oh!” Nodding, Jiang Xu didn’t ask anymore. He always felt that Brother Zhantian and Meng Shishi came to Black Dragon City not to gain experience but to find Mufeng.

In fact, they have not sold medicinal pills for more than a year. Previously, they sold the medicinal pills in some remote towns, and they were all far away from Black Dragon City. Therefore, many people should doubt that the mysterious alchemist was in the Black Dragon City. Thus, children from big families always come to the Black Dragon City to look for them. He predicted that these two also came to find Mufeng.

“XiaoXu, don’t you have something to talk to Fellow Daoist Xiao alone?” Liu Mufeng asked softly, looking at the person beside him.

“You promised me. You forgot?” Actually, Liu Mufeng didn’t want to force his beloved like this. However, the secret realm was about to open, and he had no time to wait. Therefore, he must force Xiao Xu to make a choice. The heroine was too shrewd. For ten years in the secret realm, he, the cannon fodder, and these two protagonists would not be able to coexist peacefully. Therefore,XiaoXu cannot be neutral. He must be on his side.

“XiaoXu, do you have anything you wanted to say to me?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the male protagonist asked curiously.

“Fellow Daoist Xiao,XiaoXu likes you very much and hopes you can marry him.” Looking at the hero, Liu Mufeng said these words.

“Mufeng!” Hearing this, Jiang Xu clenched his small fists unconsciously and looked at the man beside him with a blushing face while thinking, ‘Why did Mufeng say it in front of Meng Shishi?’

“XiaoXu, isn’t the person you like Xu Qianshan? How could it be Zhantian? Did you make a mistake?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the heroine reminded “kindly” and specifically mentioned Xu Qianshan.

Jiang Xu lowered his head and said softly, “No, no, I have never liked Xu Qianshan. The person I really like is Brother Zhantian. I, I liked Brother Zhantian since we were young.” Jiang Xu lifted his head and glanced at Xiao Zhantian cautiously, still disturbed in his heart.

The hero was dumbfounded for a moment. Then, a quick response flashed across his face while thinking, ‘How did Jiang Xu become like this? How did he become so aggressive? He was very timid in the past. But now, he has become so self-indulgent. He was such a good child while growing up. Then he had seduced Xu Qianshan in the front, flirted with Liu Mufeng behind him, and now ran back and said he liked him. What is he doing? Could it be that he wants to marry three men together?

How can such a person who flirts with other men deserve to like himself? Being liked by him will only make him feel a great shame.’

Liu Mufeng didn’t miss the flash of disapproval on the male protagonist’s face. He could see that he was very concerned about Xu Qianshan. However, in the original book, the male protagonist said to Jiang Xu that he didn’t mind. He then started to take care of the other person a lot. Now that he thought about it, the male protagonist had said and done that, but he didn’t feel anything for Jiang Xu. It was just to use Jiang Xu. Jiang Xu’s talent was against the heavens, and his swordsmanship was above anyone else. In the eyes of the male protagonist, he should be of great value to be used. Moreover, in the novel, Jiang Xu was a little timid about emotions, so in the original book, Jiang Xu didn’t confess until the last moment that he was dying. He never confessed in advance, so the male protagonist did not need to find any reason to refuse. He just continued to use Jiang Xu, who had a crush on him, generously.

In fact, Liu Mufeng was eager to let Jiang Xu confess because he hoped that Jiang Xu could see the true face of the male protagonist sooner. Although Jiang Xu would be heartbroken and sad, at least he would not die. He still has a lifetime to warm him and comfort him, heal the wounds in his heart, make him no longer depressed about the hero, and let him live happily every day.

Even though the change in the male protagonist’s face was just a flash, Jiang Xu also saw the contempt there. He was in a daze for a moment. He didn’t expect that the Brother Zhantian, whom he had always trusted, actually disliked and hated him. He was expelled from the family five years ago. Still, when he met Brother Zhantian again, he didn’t even ask a word and asked him how he had been all these years, and he didn’t ask what really happened about Xu Qianshan. He didn’t even ask if he was wrongfully accused.

“XiaoXu, I don’t have that feeling for you. The person I like is Shishi. As you know, Shishi and I have been engaged since we were young. Besides, we will get married next month. I, I only have brotherly love for you.” The male protagonist politely rejected Jiang Xu’s confession as he looked at him.

Jiang Xu smiled bitterly. “Brother Zhantian, have you ever liked me? Even a little bit, have you ever liked me?”

Looking at Jiang Xu staring at him, the male protagonist sighed lightly. “I’m sorry,XiaoXu. I never liked you. I only love Shishi alone.”

“Well, I understand, Brother Zhantian!” Nodding, Jiang Xu lowered his head.

In fact, Jiang Xu knew that the person Zhantian liked was Meng Shishi, not him. He also knew that he would definitely fail if he confessed to the other party. However, surprisingly, at this moment that he was really rejected, he didn’t feel much pain. It didn’t seem as hard to accept as he had expected. Everything seemed in order like this is how it should have been.

After Jiang Xu failed to confess, the four fell into an awkward silence.

“Ah, Fellow Daoist Liu,XiaoXu, Shishi and I have something to do. So we will go first.” After speaking, the male protagonist stood up and offered his farewell.

“Fellow Daoist Liu, thank you for your hospitality. After I go back, I will mention your family to my father. I hope that our Meng family and your Liu family can have a good cooperative relationship in the future.” After speaking, the heroine also stood up.

“If so, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Meng.” Standing up, Liu Mufeng smiled and thanked her.

“Brother Zhantian, Sister Meng, walk slowly.” Then, Jiang Xu also got up and said goodbye to the two.

Watching the two leave, Liu Mufeng secretly let out a sigh of relief and said in his heart,‘They’re finally leaving.’

Sitting on the grass, Jiang Xu lowered his head, thinking back to his childhood when he practiced swords with Brother Zhantian and went out to hunt demon beasts together. When he was young, Brother Zhantian would always protect himself well. But he didn’t expect that Brother Zhantian had already started to dislike him and hated him when he grew up. Sure enough, people can change.

“XiaoXu, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have forced you.” Sitting next to Jiang Xu, Liu Mufeng carefully hugged Jiang Xu’s shoulders and apologized softly to the other party.

Jiang Xu turned around and looked at the man beside him. “Mufeng, do you think I’m particularly indecisive? Do you think I’m useless?”

“No, how could it be? I understand that when facing the person you like, you will naturally be cautious, nervous and afraid and will not dare confess to him. These are all normal. It’s my fault. When I saw Xiao Zhantian today, I was jealous of him. I shouldn’t be in such a hurry to let you confess. But I was afraid, I’m afraid that if you go with him, you will never come back. That’s why I told him you like him in front of his fiancée. I think that if I say you like him in front of Meng Shishi, Xiao Zhantian will definitely reject you for his fiancée.” Liu Mufeng frowned deeply. He knew he did so selfishly. However, no one can be generous when it comes to emotional matters. He was sincere to Jiang Xu, and the male protagonist didn’t even have to pretend to like Jiang Xu. How could he give such a good Jiang Xu to the male lead?

Jiang Xu was stunned, then laughed and gave a very helpless smile. “Mufeng, how could you? You sold me without reservation.”

“I’m sorry,XiaoXu, I really am. But I am sincere to you. I will spend my whole life taking care of you, protecting you, and loving you. I will spend my whole life trying to make up for my despicable and shameless behavior today. Please don’t leave me!” Liu Mufeng pulled Jiang Xu’s hand as he pleaded in a low voice. He was not afraid that Jiang Xu didn’t love him. He believed that time could change everything. He believed he would accept him sooner or later as long as he was always by Jiang Xu’s side. However, he can’t let Jiang Xu and the male lead be together. He couldn’t let Jiang Xu leave him. If Jiang Xu returned to the male protagonist’s side, he would never have a chance to see him again, as Jiang Xu would die in his hands.
