Capítulo 44: Chapter: 42
"Father-in-law, aren't you too paranoid? Obviously, I love Cang Yue and she loves me. Who is deceiving here? Also, with my handsome face, shouldn't I be the one afraid of getting deceived instead?"
"..."
"..."
Cang Yue and Cang Wanhe were speechless.
Handsome face?
Indeed, he was handsome.
But who would deceive him just because of his face?
Cang Yue was the princess of the Blue Wind Empire.
Compared to her position, what value did his face have?
Cang Wanhe suddenly felt anger in his heart.
'Not only is this bastard deceiving our daughter, but he even has the guts to say we are deceiving him?! Shameless!'
If not for his poor health, Cang Wanhe would have jumped on Yun Che to beat him.
"Father, calm down and let Brother Yun check your health! If this continues, you will kill yourself before the disease can kill you!"
Cang Wanhe had tears in his eyes.
Not only had this bastard deceived his daughter, but now his daughter was against him too.
'What's the point of living anymore? My one and only source of solace has already been stolen.'
If Yun Che had heard his inner voice, he would have rolled his eyes.
What stolen?
Wasn't he helping her by saving his life? If not for him, Cang Wanhe would have died in his bed!
"Alright, enough drama. Let me check your pulse, father-in-law."
"Don't call us father-in-law! It makes us want to die faster!" Cang Wanhe shouted, making Yun Che speechless.
Shaking his head, he walked closer to Cang Wanhe and checked his pulse.
Just then, the door of the royal chamber was pushed open, and a loud voice was heard.
"You must not, His Excellency!"
Everyone stopped and turned to look at the old man that rudely appeared inside.
Cang Wanhe also frowned at seeing him.
With displeasure in his voice, he asked, "Elder Qiuhong, just because you are the medical saint of our Blue Wind Empire, do you think we will tolerate such rude behavior?"
Qiuhong coughed in embarrassment before his face became serious.
He looked towards Yun Che and accused loudly, "His Excellency, how can you let some ignorant youth do a check-up on yourself? What if he made a mistake and killed you? Seeing his age, he shouldn't be older than 16-17. At such an age, what would he know about medicine?"
Cang Wanhe sighed.
Of course, he had also thought about it and didn't believe that Yun Che would be able to save him.
Just for the sake of his daughter, he let him do whatever he wanted. But now, after hearing Qiuhong and knowing that this check-up might endanger his life, he had other thoughts.
But who made Yun Che shameless? While Qiuhong and Wanhe were discussing whether to let him check him up or not, Yun Che was already one with his check-up.
"Alright, daddy, I'm done."
"Who are you calling daddy!?"
"Chill, you will aggravate your condition." Yun Che patted Cang Wanhe's shoulder and reprimanded him, cursing Cang Wanhe's anger to rise. In all his years of being an emperor, no one dared to treat him like this before.
"Brother Yun, did you find the reason for Father's continuous decline in health?" Cang Yue inquired, worried. She looked at Yun Che with expectancy, hoping to get a positive answer.
"Of course," Yun Che smiled and gently held Cang Yue's hand over Cang Wanhe's body since he was on the other side of the bed from Cang Yue. "Since I have promised my Yue'er, of course, I'll make sure to cure father-in-law."
"Brother Yun..."
Seeing the state of his daughter and how they held hands over his chest and looked at each other as if no one was present but them, made Cang Wanhe's breathing faster.
He felt like he had eaten something disgusting, making his expression ugly. If not for his health, he would have raised his body and bit Yun Che's hand.
"...Control your breathing, father-in-law, people would mistake you for an animal."
"You bastard!"
"Look!" Before Cang Wanhe could push himself and bite Yun Che's hand, Yun Che placed his hand on Cang Wanhe's chest and said, "I'll make a small cut here, order your guard to not attack me."
Cang Wanhe's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't think that Yun Che would find the person guarding him.
One should know, the person guarding him was an emperor realm cultivator!
Yun Che, with his True Profound Realm strength, should never have been able to find his presence.
This made Cang Wanhe realize that Yun Che might be more than what he was showing.
"You must not, Your Excellency!" Hearing that Yun Che was about to make a small cut on Cang Wanhe's chest, Qiuhong's expression deteriorated.
He didn't need someone else to tell him that Yun Che probably found out about the parasite within Cang Wanhe's body.
This made him scared and fear gripped his heart.
'No matter what, I cannot let this man make a cut on Wanhe's chest! This would expose our schemes!'
"This person, isn't he just waiting for a chance to assassinate Your Excellency? Making a cut on the chest? I fear that this person might stab Your Excellency through the heart!"
Cang Wanhe frowned. But before he could say anything, Cang Yue turned to look toward Qiuhong with blatant dislike.
"Elder Qiuhong, if you do not shut up now, I'll slap you out of this room the next moment you open your mouth!"
An explicit silence fell in the room with everyone looking at Cang Yue with an "o" expression.
All of them knew that Cang Yue was a gentle person and would rarely show anger on her face.
Now, seeing her getting angry at Qiuhong and even threatening him, made all of them speechless.
"Heh! As expected of my wife. Already so domineering." Yun Che nodded his head and softly murmured, making a blush appear on Cang Yue's face.
"I learned it from Brother Yun..."
"What have you been teaching our daughter!?" Cang Wanhe once again felt his blood boiling. 'Not only has this bastard stolen our daughter, but he was even teaching her wrong things!'
Yun Che rolled his eyes. "Just wait until she is ready, I'm going to teach her all of the things then."
Hearing his innuendo, Cang Yue's blush intensified.
Cang Wanhe's blood pressure increased.
The only person speechless and baffled was Qiuhong. He couldn't understand what was going on anymore!
Finally, after Cang Wanhe calmed down, he looked towards Qiuhong and solemnly said, "Elder Qiuhong, we understand your worries and that you care greatly about our life."
Gu Qiuhong's facial expression twitched.
Care about life? If he could, he wanted to kill him and be done with this drama.
If not for the Sword Villa starting an investigation, he would have long killed Cang Wanhe.
ust, he was afraid of the retribution done by the Sword Villa if they found out about this.
That's the very reason he poisoned him with a parasite that cannot be found by any normal methods instead of killing him outrightly!
"But we trust our daughter and her judgment. Please stay there and calmly observe us. If something wrong happens, we will depend on you."
Qiuhong gritted his teeth. 'Thankfully, even if he found out about the parasite, it cannot be connected with me. I just need to act dumb from here on.'
Nodding, Cang Wanhe looked back at Yun Che.
Suddenly, seeing his face, he felt like slapping him.
The anger from the previous innuendo was still there.
He had to take deep breaths to calm himself down.
"You may proceed."
Yun Che smiled as he felt himself covered in an emperor's profound level of pressure.
Obviously, the king believed him but not the guard.
If he makes even a small gesture of hurting him, the guard will surely kill him right away.
With immaculate motion, he made a small cut on Cang Wanhe's chest.
A small flare of phoenix fire appeared over his hand.
The moment he neared his hand towards the cut, a painful expression formed over Cang Wanhe's face, increasing the pressure which was falling on him.
"Father!" Cang Yue shouted in worry.
"Look, father-in-law, do you see it?"
With a pained expression, Cang Wanhe turned his gaze towards his chest and his eyes widened with horror. Not him, but everyone. All of them looked at the small parasite-like creature squirming and moving near the wound!
"W-what is that!?" Cang Wanhe shouted, horrified.
"Death." Yun Che answered.
"D-death? What kind?"
A smirk appeared over Yun Che's face and he recalled the phoenix flames back before using [Restoration] to heal the wound over his chest.
"Not the instant one, obviously."
