Chapter 235: Chapter 214 Borrow a Step to Talk
When Rong Zhi approached Chu Yu, Hua Cuo also came up to Moxiang. Seeing Moxiang’s damaged and haggard face, Hua Cuo couldn’t help but feel a wave of guilt. That day in Chu Garden, he had knocked Moxiang out and imprisoned him. His intention wasn’t to harm Moxiang but merely to stop him. However, he had never anticipated that Moxiang, despite his gentle appearance, would have such a resilient and unyielding heart, daring to escape amidst such peril. Now, by coincidence, Moxiang had even resolved their encirclement.
Although Hua Cuo didn’t think he had done anything wrong, facing Moxiang’s indifferent gaze, he still couldn’t help feeling guilty and said, “Moxiang, about that day, I had no choice. Please don’t hold it against me.”
Moxiang responded coldly, “What are you talking about, Young Master Hua? I’m just a lowly servant. How dare I blame you? You sparing my life is already a great leniency.”
His words were sarcastic, making Hua Cuo’s face fall with embarrassment and some anger arising secretly. Meanwhile, Chu Yu and Rong Zhi were about to “step aside to talk,” when suddenly a stern voice came from the snowy ground, “Before that, may I take the liberty of taking this step?”
Only then did everyone notice that someone had arrived on the stark white snowfield unbeknownst to them. The person was dressed in black, which should have been very conspicuous, but somehow, no one had noticed his arrival, not even Yu Wenxiong and the other guards, which was astonishing.
Seeing the imposing and haughty look on that handsome face, Yu Wenxiong instinctively positioned himself between the man and Rong Zhi, and the hundred members of the Black Cavalry also tightened their formation to guard against any sudden attack on Rong Zhi.
Rong Zhi smiled, gestured with his hand for Yu Wenxiong to relax, and then said to the man, “Brother He Jue, haven’t seen you in good health?”
He Jue replied indifferently, “Thanks to your blessings.”
Rong Zhi smiled, “Didn’t you say you wanted to step aside to talk? Please, come with me.” Saying so, he first stepped aside, then he looked back at Hua Cuo, “You should come too.”

Hearing the few words exchanged between Rong Zhi and He Jue, Hua Cuo’s expression drastically changed. Having traveled with He Jue in their youth, he knew something of He Jue’s character. His manner of speaking suggested some interactions with Rong Zhi, but aside from the time Rong Zhi went to rescue the Princess, when had they had the opportunity to interact?
Although He Jue’s demeanor was the same as always, Hua Cuo could feel that He Jue bore less animosity towards Rong Zhi. What exactly was going on?
Glancing at Rong Zhi, Hua Cuo felt a strong unease rising in his heart. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still followed. Yu Wenxiong also wanted to follow and offer protection, but was stopped by a look from Rong Zhi.
The three walked to the side of the road, not far from where Chu Yu was. Their voices, carried by the wind, reached Chu Yu’s ears.
The three men stood in a triangular formation. He Jue’s face was full of malice, Hua Cuo’s full of suspicion, while Rong Zhi was calm and casually smiling, “Brother He Jue, did you come here today because there has been some change to our deal?”
He Jue snorted coldly, “Our deal remains as usual, but I inadvertently learned something and wanted to seek your advice.”
“Please, speak,” Rong Zhi prompted.
“Back then when you met Hua Cuo, was it deliberate or a chance encounter?” As soon as He Jue spoke, Hua Cuo’s complexion changed dramatically, and he couldn’t help but say, “What do you mean by ‘deliberate’?”
In his youth, impetuous and after a quarrel with He Jue, Hua Cuo had wandered around to distract himself. Having avenged his grudges, and with nothing else to do at the time, he wildly declared that he would seek the World’s First Beauty, but he never expected to actually find one.
Though he found one, it turned out to be a man.
At that time, Rong Zhi, yet to be defeated by Tian Ruyue, dazzled more than he did currently. Although Hua Cuo wasn’t inclined toward relationships with men, initially attracted by Rong Zhi’s looks and feeling a sense of kinship, after spending some time together and finding much in common in their conversations, occasionally sparring, Hua Cuo became deeply impressed with Rong Zhi’s martial skills and gradually saw him as a confidant.
Later, after Rong Zhi’s encounter with Tian Ruyue, although he had not anticipated losing so miserably, he had considered a way out in case of defeat, which was to leave a message for Hua Cuo to seek him out at the Princess Mansion. Thus, they reunited, and when Hua Cuo saw Rong Zhi in such a pitiful state, filled with hatred, he went to trouble Tian Ruyue, but unexpectedly suffered a backlash and was seriously injured, forcing him to stay at the Princess Mansion.
