Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

346 Surrendering to the Light?

The moment he was stared at by “Chen Tianqi”, Sun Ge immediately felt his heart tighten, but he still maintained a calm expression. “I guess so? After all, we’re going to work together. It’s not wrong to know more about him.”

Without waiting for “Chen Tianqi” to speak, Sun Ge continued, “By the way, you’ve interacted with him a few times before. What do you think of this person?”

“Chen Tianqi” stared at Sun Ge for a while more before retracting his gaze and shaking his head. “I can’t say for sure. This person is unpredictable and often makes people confused. If I have to define him—”

At this point, “Chen Tianqi” suddenly stopped. He thought for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, “I can only say that he’s not easy to deal with.”

!!
“I feel the same way.”

Sun Ge nodded in agreement. Then, he sighed and patted “Chen Tianqi” on the shoulder. “But you don’t have to worry too much. Although he said that he wants to kill you, there’s still room for negotiation.”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

Sun Ge analyzed with a serious expression, “The reason why Lin Ran wants to kill you is because you killed his friend. However, wars happen every day in this world. People will die in every war. As the deputy general of the Heavenly Saint Border Garrison, he definitely understands this.”

“So I think we can stop treating him as an enemy for the time being. As long as we do our best in this cooperation, he won’t show no mercy, right?”

“Chen Tianqi” narrowed his eyes and didn’t say anything, as if he was thinking that what Sun Ge said made sense.

Sun Ge walked around the desk and came behind “Chen Tianqi”. He placed his hands on Chen Tianqi’s shoulders and massaged him. “Actually, after spending the past few days with him, I feel that Lin Ran is a good person.”

“Chen Tianqi”‘s body stiffened. “It sounds like you two have become friends?”

“I’m just stating the fact.”

Sun Ge smiled and pulled out a saber and placed it on Chen Tianqi’s neck. His originally relaxed expression instantly turned cold. “But you’re definitely not my friend. Who are you?”

Feeling the coldness on his neck, “Chen Tianqi” did not react at all. He did not even move his eyelids. He only narrowed his eyes and chuckled. “Put down the saber quickly. This kind of joke is not funny.”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Sun Ge replied coldly. He moved the saber slightly in his hand, and the sharp blade instantly cut through Chen Tianqi’s skin, leaving a shallow wound.

After a short silence, Chen Tianqi’s expression finally darkened. “I really underestimated you… How did you find out?”

“From details.”

Sun Ge said calmly, “I realized this morning that you’re a little different from usual, but what made me certain is what you said just now.”

Chen Tianqi asked in confusion, “Oh?”

Sun Ge pressed down on his shoulder and said coldly, “Your evaluation of Lin Ran is that he’s not easy to deal with, but Tianqi is arrogant by nature and will never say such a thing. Even if Lin Ran is indeed very capable, he will only say that he has some tricks up his sleeve!”

At this point, Sun Ge’s saber cut Chen Tianqi’s neck a little more. “So who are you?!”

A drop of blood rolled down his neck and seeped into Fluttering Cloud like a drop of ink in water, but “Chen Tianqi” didn’t seem to feel it.

“Chen Tianqi” laughed mockingly. “Who else can I be but your emperor?”

“Emperor?”

When Sun Ge heard this, his expression changed drastically. Then, he felt a strong sense of regret!

He should have known that if the “Chen Tianqi” in front of him was really someone else in disguise, the only one who looked identical to Chen Tianqi was the current emperor, Xuan Wushang!

Thinking of this, Sun Ge hurriedly let go and retreated. He knelt on the ground and shouted in a low voice, “I’m the leader of the guards in the magistrate’s office called Sun Ge! I didn’t mean to hurt you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!”

Xuan Wushang chuckled. His fingertips brushed past the wound and it was stained with blood. He said indifferently in an emotionless tone, “Do you know that just this wound is enough to get your entire family wiped out?”

“I know!”

Sun Ge knelt on the ground and replied, “But my parents died when I was young. It was my master and his wife who raised me—”

At this point, Sun Ge’s eyes darkened. “After I became an adult, I was ordered to kill my master’s wife and was kicked out by my master. Even if Your Majesty wants to wipe out my family, I’m the only one.”

Xuan Wushang suddenly chuckled. “Minister Sun, you don’t have to be so frightened. I was just joking.”

“Joking?”

Sun Ge subconsciously looked up and saw the wound on Xuan Wushang’s neck. “I injured you. Aren’t you going to punish me?”

“If you didn’t do it on purpose, why should I punish you?”

Xuan Wushang said seriously, “Although what you and Chen Tianqi did is considered treason, it’s also for the sake of the people of the Iron City.”

“I have an inescapable responsibility for what has happened. If I had understood the situation here earlier, you wouldn’t have to kill your master’s wife. I’m the one who let you down!”

Sun Ge hurriedly knelt on the ground. “I wouldn’t dare to blame you.”

“Minister Sun, there’s no need to be afraid.”

Xuan Wushang smiled and personally reached out to help Sun Ge up from the ground. He asked, “If you want to redeem yourself, I can give you a chance. What do you think?”

“Redeem myself?”

Sun Ge looked puzzled. “I’m slow-witted. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty.”

“It’s actually very simple. Lord Sun, you just have to follow the plan you and Chen Tianqi came up with previously…”

At this point, a faint smile appeared on Xuan Wushang’s face. “However, at the final stage, I need you to make a small sacrifice.”

Sun Ge hesitated and did not say anything. Although Xuan Wushang’s attitude had always been very kind, the look on his face made Sun Ge feel that this matter was not as simple as it sounded.
