Chapter 1354: Revealing His True Colors

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Second Uncle, what are you talking about?”

Xiahou Qing could not believe that the man in front of him was his kind and loving second uncle.

It turned out that the fallout happened in an instant. It was as if a hole had been blown open in the riverbank. The mountain torrent that had been accumulating for many years flowed down angrily, not giving him any buffer.

Wherever it passed, faith collapsed!

Xiahou Yi said, “Do you think my stupid brother could have become the City Lord if I hadn’t given in to him? Even you were promoted to the City Lord position by me.”

“Stupid brother…”

Xiahou Qing did not expect his father to be so unbearable in his second uncle’s heart!

He suppressed his anger and said, “In that case, why didn’t you become the City Lord yourself? Why did you give in? Why didn’t you snatch it earlier? Why did you wait until now, when the dust has settled, to want to snatch everything from me?”

Xiahou Yi paused. “Because I was wrong once.”

Xiahou Qing looked at him coldly.

Xiahou Yi looked at the endless night and said, “Among the previous City Lords of the Xiahou family, half of them died of this illness, and there are not many records of whether the rest of the Xiahou family died of this illness. I still remember the night before my brother was about to become the City Lord, he held my hand and said that he was very afraid that as long as he became the City Lord of the Xiahou family, he would not be able to escape this curse. If he dies, he asked me to take good care of you and not let you become the next City Lord.”

This was the first time Xiahou Qing had heard such inside information. For a moment, he did not know if he was surprised or felt that it was ridiculous.

“Is that why my father didn’t announce the heir before he died?”

“That’s right.”

“Then I’m afraid you’ve fallen into a trap.”

Xiahou Qing did not know much about people, but his mind was abnormally clear on certain matters.

Xiahou Yi said, “Yes, I fell into a trap. He had long seen that I was capable and ambitious. In order to prevent me from fighting with him for the position of City Lord, he used this to scare me. I naturally wouldn’t believe it all, but he did fall ill after inheriting the throne. After he died, I had a bold idea.”

Xiahou Qing’s heart suffered another painful blow. “You wanted to help me up and try to see if this curse is real. However, you didn’t expect that as the City Lord, I didn’t fall ill, but you did.”

Xiahou Yi nodded. “Over the years, I’ve thought of many ways to remove the curse.”

Xiahou Qing said seriously, “Second Uncle, this is not a curse. It’s an illness! An illness that has been passed down for generations!”

Xiahou Yi said calmly, “No, this is a curse. Moreover, I’ve found a way to resolve it.”

Xiahou Qing did not want to ask what method it was at all. His second uncle was crazy to say such nonsense.

He said angrily, “Second Uncle, don’t think that pretending to be crazy can make me forgive you for everything you’ve done! Even if you’re my biological Second Uncle, I won’t… be soft-hearted!”

Xiahou Yi suddenly smiled.

Xiahou Qing even heard extremely faint sneer.

Xiahou Qing was not as shocked as before. He could even speak. What was a sneer?

“Come… someone.”

Just as he spat out the word ‘someone’, he felt a lump in his throat.

He covered his throat and tried to pronounce it again, but realized that there was no sound at all.

He… couldn’t speak anymore!

He looked at Xiahou Yi.

Xiahou Yi’s eyes were cold and there was no surprise in them.

He watched as Xiahou Qing covered his throat and fell.

Xiahou Qing’s body began to spasm, and his hands and feet began to tremble.

“Ah… ah…”

Finally, his throat was clear, but he could only let out an extremely low and hoarse cry.

He tried to shout louder for Steward Chang to hear him.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice sounded from the side. “Who are you? Why are you sowing discord between me and Second Uncle?”

This voice and tone were exactly the same as his!

That person slowly walked over. “You’re the one who framed my second uncle!”

Then, under Xiahou Qing’s furious gaze, that person picked up a human skin mask and put it on his face.

This was Xiahou Qing’s face.

At the same time, Xiahou Qing felt a burning pain on his face. His face seemed to be burning, and his facial features were tearing, causing him to roll on the ground in pain.

He roared with all his might, but his weak voice was quickly covered by that person. “You’d better surrender obediently! Otherwise, I won’t let you off! Stop right there!”

Xiahou Qing’s vision and consciousness became blurry at the same time.

In a daze, he saw two figures break out of the window.

Steward Chang’s shout came from outside the house. “City Lord! Where are you going? Let the guards catch the assassin!”

“This person framed my second uncle. I have to catch him myself!”

“City Lord! City Lord!”

Steward Chang chased after him.

Xiahou Qing fell into despair.

He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he saw his second uncle stand up from the wheelchair.
