AWDC Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Am I That Awesome?

Wu Liangde was frightened by his appearance and repeatedly begged for mercy, “I’m just a brute, I don’t think before I speak. Young Master Mu, please don’t take it seriously. Consider that I helped you get revenge on Zhao Yuming. Can you ask your father to be lenient with me?”

“I guarantee I won’t reveal our relationship to anyone. If you need me in the future, I’m willing to continue serving you, Young Master.”

His extremely swift change in attitude amused Mu Chuang.

“Alright,” he said with a sly smile, “If only you know about me directing you, then it’s easy to handle. But if you’ve told your brothers about it, then it’ll be difficult.”

He finished speaking and crossed his arms. The wide sleeves and peacock-like appearance made him look like an evil male god. His eyes were full of calculation, and he raised his face slightly, looking at the empty space.

Wu Liangde was swayed by his emotions and temporarily lost his ability to think for himself. Without thinking, he blurted out the truth, “How could I reveal this kind of thing to my brothers? They just have to follow my orders. I don’t need to tell them who’s directing me.”

“Are you sure?” Mu Chuang retracted his gaze from the void and focused on Wu Liangde, immediately becoming sharp, as if he would take his life if he dared to lie.

“I’m sure,” Wu Liangde answered affirmatively, but his legs couldn’t help but tremble. He felt like he was falling into a trap.

Mu Chuang became suspicious because of his appearance, thinking that he was pretending to be brave to deceive him. Otherwise, why would his legs be shaking?

“Dare to lie to me.” He suddenly reached out his left hand and grabbed the other man’s throat, putting a little force into it. Unexpectedly, Wu Liangde’s mouth flowed out a trace of bright red blood.

“???” Mu Chuang was immediately dumbfounded. After reacting, he immediately withdrew his hand, only to see Wu Liangde had already lowered his head, looking like he had died.

“What’s going on?” He raised his left hand and looked at it carefully. Other than feeling slightly rougher than his hand in that world, there was nothing different.

“Could it be that the original owner of this body knew martial arts?” He couldn’t think of any other reason. “I just used a little force and broke his neck?”

“Damn!” He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Am I that awesome now?”

Thinking of this, he suddenly worried if he had hurt Lin Xi when he hugged him just now, and then he thought of a series of related things…

Like that kiss, specifically the action of blocking his lips, and then the feeling of his lips touching, soft and glutinous, warm and moist…

Damn, the more he thought about it, the more unfinished he felt, and a certain part of him seemed to be reacting.

“Damn it! I’m going to die!” He cursed in his heart, “How could I have this kind of feeling?”

That was Lin Xi, the person he had raised like a younger brother since childhood, the person he once hated for being hopeless and disliked for having that kind of inclination, and now…

“No,” he denied in his heart, “It must be because of the original owner. Because he’s this kind of person, I have this kind of reaction.”

After understanding this point, the self-deceiving person suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had climbed out of an abyss and regained new life.

His attention returned to Wu Liangde. Seeing that the other person was still hanging his head, showing no signs of waking up, he reached out and explored his breath. “Damn, he’s dead. I committed manslaughter.”

“Damn it, why is he so fragile?” He cursed, but he was still a little flustered in his heart. Although this case was being handled by his father and the emperor was far away, he was afraid that someone would accidentally leak it out, and it would be difficult to deal with.

He quickly left the prison cell, deliberately closed the door, and then ordered a yamen servant to call his ‘father’ over, preparing to discuss it quietly.

After a short while, Master Mu came over with a solemn expression. Seeing Mu Chuang standing outside the prison cell, his face looked a little ugly, as if he was trying to calm down after getting into trouble.

“What do you want?” Master Mu arrived quickly.

“You all retreat.” Mu Chuang didn’t answer him, but waved away the yamen servants at the first moment. “Guard outside. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come in.”

“Yes.” The yamen servants obeyed and retreated.

Mu Chuang then opened the prison door, signaling his “father” to look at Wu Liangde. “I accidentally killed him. Father, think of a way to deal with it.”

Master Mu followed his gaze and almost fainted with anger. “You… you…”

He pointed at him with one finger, unable to say the rest of the sentence for a long time.

“Father, don’t get excited,” Mu Chuang went over and supported him, trying to keep his voice down. “He said he didn’t tell his brothers about me directing him to rob, so as long as he’s dead, no one else will know. We just need to figure out how to handle the aftermath.”

“As for what kind of excuse to give Zhao Yuming, I believe Father has his own ways after being an official for many years.” He remained calm throughout, because Wu Liangde was not worth regretting. He had taken the lives of so many of Zhao Yuming’s men, he was going to die sooner or later. The only difference was whether he would drag himself down and whether he would be punished.

Moreover, this was done by the original owner. He, Mu Chuang, was not wrong. Even if he was wrong, it was just accidentally killing him in advance, and it was not intentional.

Therefore, Mu Chuang didn’t feel too much guilt about this matter.

Master Mu finally calmed his breath. After listening to Mu Chuang’s words, his anger gradually subsided. Thinking that the matter had come to this point, even if he dragged his son out and beheaded him, it would be useless.

Moreover, he didn’t deserve to die, and Wu Liangde was going to die sooner or later, but the way of dying was different.

“You remember this, don’t do stupid things again next time, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Master Mu gritted his teeth, seemingly serious, but when it really came to that point, he might not be so cruel.

After all, he was his own flesh and blood, and he also looked talented. He occasionally helped him handle cases and capture criminals. Overall, he was considered capable, and every parent would be reluctant.

“Got it,” Mu Chuang answered crisply, finally relieved, because in general, when the other party said this, it meant he was willing to help him settle things, and he would be fine.

Once a person’s mind is empty, they start to think about random things. He handed over the matter here to his “father”, and then he was busy looking for Lin Xi.

Speaking of Lin Xi being suddenly blocked by his lips, he felt uncomfortable all over. The person he used to want to stick to now suddenly became very resistant to his closeness.

He first went into the house and washed his face, and he was even ready to take a bath, just like Mu Chuang had dislike him at the beginning, wishing he could get rid of all the bad luck.
