Chapter 526: 262 Beat Up (One More)_3
There was no lamp inside the carriage, just the pale light of the dull street lamp and the moonlight filtering through the gap in the curtains, faintly illuminating the increasingly handsome face of the Duke of Xuanping, sculpted by time.
Chang Jing, with his face blindness, couldn’t figure out what made this man attractive.
The Duke of Xuanping sighed, “Do you fear anything?”
Chang Jing thought for a moment and then shook his head, “No.”
The Duke of Xuanping looked at him skeptically, “Nothing at all?”
Chang Jing lowered his head, “Cockroaches.”
The Duke of Xuanping: “…”
You, the best assassin of the Dark Night Sect, are actually afraid of cockroaches?
“They’re disgusting,” Chang Jing explained, somewhat aggrieved.
When Chang Jing was very young, he once found cockroaches in his food. Some people deliberately disgusted him, and it worked. From then on, whenever he saw a cockroach, he would remember eating them, and it made his scalp numb.
The Duke of Xuanping raised an eyebrow, with a hint of pride in his voice, “At least Ahen is afraid of cats, which is better than you.”
Chang Jing’s mouth twitched, what self-esteem are you trying to establish from this?
Speaking of which, the Duke of Xuanping never expected Ahen to be afraid of cats. On further reflection, he felt that he had been a derelict father, not knowing what his son feared.
After a moment of hesitation, the Duke of Xuanping grit his teeth and said, “Before we go back to the mansion, we’ll take a detour to Bishui Alley. Also, find me a cat.”
Chang Jing quickly found a stray cat from the roadside. As the Duke of Xuanping held the pitiful little wildcat, he frowned. Could this creature reveal if he was indeed Ahen?
When Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang hadn’t returned home after dark, Xiao Liulang decided to go out and look for them. As he crossed the threshold of the front court, he noticed a familiar carriage parked at the door.
The Duke of Xuanping was sitting in the outer seat, holding the wildcat in his hand with evident distaste.
He had planned to use this cat to test Xiao Liulang. However, as soon as Xiao Liulang walked out of the door, he instinctively stuffed the cat into Chang Jing’s arms and blocked Chang Jing with his broad body.
He was too quick, and Xiao Liulang didn’t see the cat, finding his behavior strange.
Xiao Liulang ignored him and walked out of the alley with a poker face.
Looking at the wildcat suddenly stuffed into his arms, Chang Jing asked, “Aren’t you going to test him?”
