The Way of the Empress

When he saw the news, Zhuo Yang could almost guess the psychology of the other party.

First, let him know his secret has been leaked via Fang Yunzhi, and may be known by Moodys at any time, wanting him to panic… like a cat teasing a mouse, but not catching his tail immediately…

Leaving him hanging, and probably so panicked that he can’t sleep following the meeting with Fang Yunzhi, and savoring the thrill of winning.

After a few hours had passed—

Connecting to the panic-stricken victim, like facing a frightened bird, with a request to meet.

The routine is very slippery. They are very good at playing with people’s hearts…

It’s a pity they missed a point – that is, Zhuo Yang is not panic at all now.

Because, between him and Moodys, there were never any secrets or concealment. What Moodys knows is the entirety of Zhuo Yang.

Zhuo Yang is not afraid at all.

“This person will definitely feel that I’m panicked, anxious, and afraid that you will know my secret, and thinking this will let them get hold of me and force me to go see them.” Zhuo Yang pulled up the message on his personal terminal and showed Moodys with an extremely indifferent attitude.

He’s never been a person who plays cards according to common sense. Trying to pinch him – this person is still far from it.

Moodys frowned: “Don’t go see him tomorrow, I have asked Gu Che to investigate this matter. Later, I will also send the source data over to Gu Che to investigate. You don’t need to worry about it, I believe that Gu Che will find out something soon.”

He will not allow anyone who threatens his spouse to hide in the dark and have a chance to hurt Zhuo Yang.

“Then what?” Zhuo Yang shook his head and said with a smile: “This person has worked so hard to prepare a big play, and is waiting to lead me into the urn? If I don’t go, how can I see what kind of good show the other party is preparing?”

He was quite happy to meet the other party and see what tricks the other party had.

“What do you want to do?” Moodys frowned slightly.

Zhuo Yang chuckled: “The other party took advantage of Miss Fang and sent a message in the middle of the night, trying to make me feel uneasy and panic, all to ask me to meet. Of course, I will give them some face and meet.”

“No, this is too dangerous. The other party is not good, and no one knows what their plan is.” Moodys frowned in disapproval, and vetoed.

He will never let Zhuo Yang be in danger.

Zhuo Yang didn’t care. “What’s the danger? The place where the other party asked me out is Sunflower Cafe. It’s a public place. How can they kidnap me or try to do something to me?

“The minds of those with evil thoughts are hard to fathom, especially towards guides.” Moodys has seen a lot of evil. He has seen a lot of how some people with sinister intentions destroy guides.

Zhuo Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. “It doesn’t matter, I’m not afraid…”

Since growing up, he was never afraid of anything.

“If you have to go, I will send someone to protect you in secret. I really don’t feel relieved letting you go to see such a person with ulterior motives.” Moodys frowned. Seeing Zhuo Yang’s resolute attitude, he could only relax his bottom line.

Zhuo Yang smiled, but still refused. “The other party asked me not to bring anyone, but to go see them alone. If I bring someone, won’t it breaking their condition? In case the other party is timid is scared away, what if they don’t know up? I’m still waiting to see this good drama.”

“I don’t want to have no drama to watch,” he said.

Moodys frowned. He was quite dissatisfied with Zhuo Yang’s attitude of not taking his own safety seriously. He prepared a long speech and wanted to start ideological education for Zhuo Yang.

But Zhuo Yang said again: “If you really can’t worry about me, just prepare me a miniature mecha for self-defense.”

It was a half step back and compromise with Moodys.

“Mecha?” Moodys was stunned, remembering that Zhuo Yang studied mecha design and could drive mechas.

He hesitated for a moment, but still insisted: “A mini-mecha can protect you, but people still have to follow you… Otherwise, I can’t feel at ease.”

“Uncle, do you have to be so nervous, so worried? I’m not a kid, how can I still be kidnapped?” Zhuo Yang thought it was a little funny seeing him so nervous, and he patted his cheek with a mocking smile.

It’s like he didn’t take it to heart at all.

Moodys frowned in disapproval. “The other party is very likely to be a sentinel, or even more than one?”

“What about a sentinel? Apart from physical strength, how is a sentinel better than a guide?” Zhuo Yang casually.

Modis said solemnly: “Don’t talk about anything else. A sentinel’s physical strength and fitness are far better than the guide. Just like last time when I was mentally disordered, even if your spiritual power is much higher than mine, I almost killed you.

Moodys knew that Zhuo Yang is a pioneer of guides, the pioneer of women’s rights-

But he is still a guide, and very weak. His physical strength was much weaker than a sentinel. How could he have no sense of crisis and self-protection.

“That’s because I love you. I want to save you, and I don’t want to hurt you.” Zhuo Yang interrupted him directly, with a posture that didn’t take sentinels to heart.

Moodys frowned.

Zhuo Yang opened his mouth very slowly: “I have killed more than one person. Probably three or four, or four or five sentinels. It’s been too long, I don’t remember it clearly… When I was 14 years old.”

Moodys looked at him in shock.

“This is also a little secret that I haven’t told you.” Zhuo Yang said. “So, even if a guide’s physical strength and fitness are inferior to a sentinel, I have never felt that there is any place where a guide is worse than a sentinel. Nor can they only exist as a spiritual guidance tool for sentinels… The reason why most guides think that they are weak and do not oppose sentinels is just because they are misled by the vast difference in physical ability, nor had such a huge killing intent against sentinels.”

He said: “If you do, with the mentality of perishing together, a guide can kill a sentinel, and more than one.”

This is also his own rather shady, long-standing, dirty secret.

Zhuo Yang thought that he would never share this to Moodys in his life, but said it in the end.

“What’s going on? How did you come across such a situation?” Moodys couldn’t believe it. Before he could be surprised that Zhuo Yang said that he had killed more than one sentinel, he began to feel distressed and couldn’t understand how Zhuo Yang could be so young and face three or four, or even four or five sentinels, at the age of 14. He even wanted to kill them with the idea of ​​perishing together, and succeeded.

Was Zhuo Yang’s dreaming or is this true?

When Zhuo Yang was young, what happened to him, and what did he experience?

Moodys held Zhuo Yang’s hand with a little trembling. It was hard to imagine what Zhuo Yang had experienced.

Zhuo Yang looked at Moodys’ worried and distressed expression, a little annoyed at his running mouth, and regretted telling this story that should have been buried in the dust.

Could it be that he was really spoiled by Moodys… He started to talk about everything…

Even the last thing he shouldn’t have said, he couldn’t help but say, trying to gain sympathy and belated comfort.

Zhuo Yang didn’t want to continue this topic, but after repeated questions from Moodys, he could only very calmly say: “Actually, it’s nothing… You should know the relationship between me, Zhuo Hengyuan, and Xia Xiuzhi’s family. It’s been bad all this time, and Zhuo Yu, who is only half a year younger than me, hates me even more…”

“Speaking of which, Zhuo Yu and I are indeed brothers, even with the filth of Zhuo Hengyuan flowing in our bodies. I’m ruthless, and he was the same back then.” He sighed.

Moodys squeezed his hand tightly. “You are not allowed to say that about yourself.”

He couldn’t listen to Zhuo Yang’s slander and belittle himself…

In his eyes, Zhuo Yang is the best.

 

The next release is going to be somewhat distressing, so prepare yourselves.
