Chapter 1603: Chapter 1604: If You Trust Me, You Wouldn’t

”Brother Yi...” Su Chengyu was completely taken aback by what Xiao Changyi had said, staring at him in disbelief.

Xiao Changyi, however, just closed his eyes.

He simply wanted both of his younger brothers to be well, why was it so difficult?

When Xiao Changyi opened his eyes again, he was no longer agitated. His cold gaze was calm, and he simply said, ”Do whatever you want to do.”

He looked like someone who was giving up on his responsibilities.

”Brother Yi, I...” Seeing Xiao Changyi like this, Su Chengyu suddenly panicked and wanted to say something.

But Xiao Changyi didn’t let him finish, cutting in, ”You are right.”

”Brother Yi...”

”If the old man were alive, he would do the same.” He paused, ”You all are Emperors.” As an Emperor, he couldn’t tolerate anyone plotting rebellion, coveting his throne.

Understanding the deeper meaning in Xiao Changyi’s words, Su Chengyu still found it difficult to accept, ”Brother Yi, I thought you would always stand by my side...”

Xiao Changyi immediately reprimanded harshly, ”Ever since you learned that Gong Juechen is Chenglin, you’ve been overthinking things!”

”I don’t want to overthink, I’m just afraid, if only Chenglin had truly died in that great fire, how great it would be.” Then he wouldn’t be so anxious and conflicted.

Without waiting for Xiao Changyi to speak, Su Chengyu continued, ”Brother Yi, those people in black, are they Chenglin’s people?”

Xiao Changyi’s heart skipped a beat, and he instantly understood why Su Chengyu insisted on killing the Five Clans of Mrs. Han.

It turned out that this younger brother of his was already more wary of his other younger brother.

”I once suspected it too, but then I asked him, and he said they weren’t.” He paused, ”Why did you suddenly suspect those men in black are his?”

”The moment you said that, I knew he hadn’t told you. The last time I went to his place to find him, I asked him about this, and he didn’t admit it.” Su Chengyu was particularly candid. ”The reason I know is that my informant happened to overhear when you asked him about it back then.”

Xiao Changyi immediately narrowed his eyes, very dangerous, ”You have someone watching me?”

”How could I send someone to watch you?!” Su Chengyu felt wronged and immediately became anxious. ”It’s just that I have many informants, and one of them happened to overhear you asking him about it.”

Only then did Xiao Changyi’s expression relax. He first sighed deeply, then said, ”The old man was most concerned about you, and as long as I am alive, I will protect you.”

Originally, he didn’t want to say this, but this younger brother’s heart was too uneasy now; he had no choice but to say it.

Only by saying it could he put his younger brother at ease.

As expected, Su Chengyu immediately smiled, ”Brother Yi, with those words from you, I can be at ease.”

Xiao Changyi coldly glanced at him, ”If you weren’t overthinking, you wouldn’t be uneasy.”

”I have always been at ease with Brother Yi, it’s just Chenglin... I really can’t find peace of mind anymore.” Su Chengyu sighed as well, feeling very helpless.

Xiao Changyi said, ”If you trust me that he wouldn’t fight you for Xiyun, you wouldn’t be uneasy.”

”But he’s becoming more and more complicated, how can you expect me to be at ease?” Su Chengyu immediately retorted.

First, there was the Stubborn Doctor, then the Seventh Prince Su Chenglin, then his remarkable skills, and now those men in black might be his people...

Su Chengyu really had his reasons for being uneasy.

Xiao Changyi, of course, understood Su Chengyu’s meaning, and knew why Su Chengyu was increasingly uneasy about Gong Juechen, so he didn’t waste his breath trying to persuade Su Chengyu to trust Gong Juechen.
