Chapter 58: Why The Strong Reaction? Do You Have Something To Hide?

Qi Ci retreated abruptly, and because of his unstable body, he staggered backwards until he knocked against the door.

However, the pain never came, because Bian Zhonghua quickly reached out to put his hand on the door and protect Qi Ci’s head from hitting it.

“Why is the young Gongzi showing such a strong reaction? Do you have something to hide?” Bian Zhonghua smiled without the slightest sense of guilt for scaring Qi Ci.

Qi Ci: “….”

Qi Ci expressionlessly straightened his clothes and took a few steps towards the middle of the room. Unexpectedly, Qi Ci picked up the wooden chair and threw it at Bian Zhonghua.

“Forgive me, forgive me! I was wrong!” Bian Zhonghua firmly caught the wooden chair and started to beg for mercy and forgiveness. But his face still showed that cheeky smile.

After making a fuss, Qi Ci asked: “Were you outside just now? Did you see anyone strange?”

At that instant, Bian Zhonghua’s expression turned serious: “Someone strange? No, why? Did you see anything?”

Qi Ci: “I….”

Just as he was about to speak, Qi Ci paused to think: ‘Wouldn’t it be both humiliating and embarrassing to say that I was frightened by the shadows of the bushes outside the window?’

So, Qi Ci said: “Cough, nothing really. Just asking.”

Bian Zhonghua no longer had the intention to tease Qi Ci, he simply stared at him as if he hadn’t believed that everything was alright.

Qi Ci hurried to change the subject, but he soon found that Bian Zhonghua looked like someone who had just taken a bath. His black long hair was scattered all over his back, while his black clothes were slightly loose, revealing the palm-size dragon pattern on his shoulder. Qi Ci had seen it several times before, and every single time, it glowed bright red. Now, the dragon pattern on Bian Zhonghua’s shoulder looked like an ink painting.

Qi Ci pointed at it and said: “I wanted to ask before. The dragon pattern on your shoulder, what is it for?”

“Ah, this?” Bian Zhonghua followed the way Qi Ci’s finger was pointing at, looked at his own shoulder, and said: “It’s a spell that controls my power.”

“Control your power?” Qi Ci was puzzled. “Why control it?”

Bian Zhonghua explained: “Because I can’t control myself. Although I’ll be far stronger after unlocking this spell, once I withdraw my power, it will devour itself. Not only will it cause a meridian disorder, break my tendons and bones, but it will also make me go insane, etc.” Bian Zhonghua said as a matter of fact. “If it’s tainted with too much energy, it can also self-destruct, which is why there was a rope binding me after I killed the Secret Servant that molested that girl.”

Qi Ci had always felt that Bian Zhonghua was someone unrestrained and extraordinary, but when he heard such a thing, he couldn’t help but stare at him with a surprised face: “How could this be?”

Bian Zhonghua smiled and shrugged: “To be honest, I’m not so sure myself. Did I ever tell you that I can’t remember my past?”

Qi Ci shook his head and shouted out loud: “No!”

Bian Zhonghua smiled gently again: “I don’t know anything about my past, and even my name was said to me by State Master Li.”

“You…” Qi Ci stammered for a long time without knowing what to say.

“It’s alright, I’m just living the moment.” Bian Zhonghua laughed as he looked at Qi Ci with some tenderness: “I think it’s best this way. I have nothing to do, and I have no burdens or difficulties in life. I also have friends and a place to live. Most importantly, I know very well what I want.”

Since Bian Zhonghua didn’t seem to worry about his unknown past, Qi Ci will naturally not worry for him. Qi Ci then stretched out his hand, but hesitated several times to do anything. In the end, he patted Bian Zhonghua’s shoulder with encouragement as he showed him an extremely serious impression: “That’s good!”

“Pfft.” Bian Zhonghua was amused by Qi Ci’s serious expression and his encouraging words.

Qi Ci’s face and neck had blushed bright red.

Bian Zhonghua hurried to cover up his smile as he walked towards the bed: “Let’s go to sleep now. We have to get up early tomorrow to continue traveling back to the Capital.”

It was Bian Zhonghua! Thank godness…. (but still we don’t know if what Qi Ci saw outside the window was real or not) (>_<;)
