65 Huo Junhan, Tell Me, What Did You Go Through in the Five Years You Disappeared?
“Everything is just a coincidence,” Huo Junhan said slowly. His lowered eyes flickered. “General Shen, you don’t really think I’ll take some of my childhood feelings seriously, do you?”
At the end of his sentence, when he looked up at Shen Liu’an, his eyes were already as cold as ice.
Shen Liu’an was stung by the light mockery in Huo Junhan’s tone.
“It looks like I’m thinking too much.” Shen Liu’an slowly heaved a sigh of relief, then revealed an even more solemn expression. “Your Highness, when I brought you back to the capital to send you to the late Emperor, you once said that you would help me do three things to repay this favor. Now that you’ve already completed two of these three things, the last thing…”
!!
“Tell me,” Huo Junhan said indifferently when he saw Shen Liu’an’s hesitation.
“For the third matter, I want you to protect the Northern Kingdom in place of the Imperial Preceptor before he wakes up,” Shen Liu’an looked straight into Huo Junhan’s eyes and said slowly.
Huo Junhan slowly sat up and looked at Shen Liu’an with a faint smile.
“General Shen, are you joking with me?”
Shen Liu’an looked straight at Huo Junhan, his expression still serious. “Huo Junhan, have you really never thought of accumulating some virtue for yourself?”
Although he had not spent much time in the capital, he knew everything about the imperial court.
In recent years, Huo Junhan could be said to be second only to the Emperor, whose favor for him had reached an unbelievable level. He could not do without the medicinal pill Huo Junhan gave him and thought that it was a divine pill that could extend his life.
In recent years, the Emperor had become more and more obsessed with enjoying himself. He almost ignored the government and left all the matters in the imperial court to Huo Junhan.
Huo Junhan was treacherous, vicious, and temperamental. Anyone who opposed him would not have a good ending in the end. They would be uprooted, have their families wiped out, and killed.
Therefore, Huo Junhan had another name in the Northern Kingdom, called Ghost King.
Even the evil spirits that crawled out of the ghost world were not as terrifying as him.
Shen Liu’an had always believed in Heaven’s Will. He felt that what humans did, the heavens watched. Good and evil would be repaid.
He could not bear to see the student of whom he was most proud become like this.
If there was a chance to pull Huo Junhan back onto the right path, he would definitely try at all costs.
“Virtue?” Huo Junhan stared at Shen Liu’an for a long time. Suddenly, his thin lips curled up, and he laughed.
A low and pleasant laugh echoed in the room, but it made Shen Liu’an’s hair stand on end. He felt that there was an emotion in that laughter that he could not read.
Perhaps because he was laughing too happily, Huo Junhan’s eyes were stained with an enchanting blush. He looked at Shen Liu’an teasingly. “I’ve never believed in the heavens.”
His cold and heartless words were like a polished knife, splitting the dusty memories in his mind and making his heart tremble violently.
No, it couldn’t be.
He still remembered that when he decided to keep Huo Junhan by his side and take him in as a student to teach him martial arts and military tactics, the little child finally smiled and looked at him. He said that there was really a heavenly law in this world that would bless everyone who was about to fall into despair.
He clearly believed in Heaven’s Will in the past!
But why has he become like this now?
“Huo Junhan, tell me, what did you experience in the five years you disappeared?” Shen Liu’an finally couldn’t help but ask the question he had wanted to ask Huo Junhan for a long time. He licked his dry lips and said in a gentler tone, “If you’re still willing to treat me as a teacher, tell me the truth. Perhaps I can…”
