Chapter 164.1 Lost for Words (1/2)
The Demon Sovereign asked Wang Ke to explain why he thought Mo Sanshan was suspicious. The invitation excited the incipient Branch Lord to no end.
He immediately started his reasoning, "Demon Sovereign, Mo Sanshan is very suspicious. First, it has to do with his credibility! His words can’t be trusted!"
"How am I bad on credibility? Wang Ke, don’t spout nonsense!" Mo Sanshan retorted furiously.
"How? Humph! Let’s take this one step at a time. Back when the God Wang Company had just started, you told me to cooperate with you so you could capture Tong An’an and that you would later tell me all the details of your plan. In the end you schemed with Murong Luguang behind my back and kept me in the dark! You turned back on your word, didn’t you?" Wang Ke chided.
"Back then…!" Mo Shanahan’s eyes widened in anger.
He wanted to keep that matter hidden, so he refrained from arguing back. After all, that was easy to investigate.
"Second, back at the Zhu Cultivation Town, I captured Tong An’an and handed him over to you. You told me that you would take him back for questioning, but in the end you lied to me. You released him immediately after I left, didn’t you? You abused my trust—Do you think this makes you credible?" Wang Ke questioned angrily.
"I had plans for Tong An’an that time; it was all to accomplish the Demon Sovereign’s mission. I released him to lure out the Parlor Lord who is secretly working against the Demon Sovereign. That’s why!" Mo Sanshan answered.
"You lied to me anyway! Fine, let’s put Tong An’an aside and talk about something else. I can overlook that you’ve looked down on me, and that you kept sending false reports about me to the Demon Sovereign, but why are you spreading rumors about me?" Wang Ke asked further.
"Who’s spreading rumors about you? What evidence do you have for that?" Mo Sanshan asked back angrily.
"You want evidence? Damn it. It’s already widely known in the Golden Crow Sect. There’s nothing between Zhang LI’er and me, but you kept on spreading rumors about us, saying that we have an affair, and making sure everyone knows about it. This caused your rumors to spread like wildfire in both the righteous and the demonic factions. Do you think I’m a fool, and that I wouldn’t notice? I spent the past few days feasting and playing Mahjong; so many people mentioned those rumors to me, and it’s all because of you!" Wang Ke grumbled angrily.
Mo Sanshan looked at Wang Ke with eyes like saucers.
I’m the one who spread the rumor? Rumor you *ss! Weren’t you the one who told me everything to begin with?"
"Demon Sovereign, please be our judge and deliver your verdict! He’s creating a lot of trouble for me because of all his nonsensical rumors! Also, what if this matter spreads to my girlfriend’s ears? She’s already having it tough as it is! And her father still wants to forcefully break us apart; this would be another excuse he could use to achieve his goal! Mo Sanshan is pushing me down the cliff! Demon Sovereign, please deliver justice!" Wang Ke pleaded with tears in his eyes.
The Demon Sovereign was silent, while Mo Sanshan’s face was twitching unstoppably.
"Bullsh*t! When did I spread rumors about you? Didn’t you tell me all these things? Back at the Zhu Cultivation Town! " Mo Sanshan rebutted furiously.
Wang Ke raged indignantly, "Demon Sovereign, look, look! Even now, he’s still trying to push the blame on me! Mo Sanshan, go around and ask! Haven’t I been telling everyone that there’s nothing between Zhang Li’er and me? Go and find someone who personally heard me say that I have an affair with Zhang Li’er! I will admit to everything you say if you can! Go and find one! Bring a witness here!" Wang Ke raged on.
Mo Sanshan’s face was black as a pot, "Witness? Witness my *ss!"
"You don’t have a witness, but I do! Damn, so many righteous and demonic disciples are here in town! Just grab a random person, and they will say that Zhang Li’er and I have an affair! According to the Golden Crow Sect disciples, you were the one who initiated the rumors! Why don’t you find someone and ask?" said Wang Ke.
Mo Sanshan’s looked greatly annoyed. Damn it, I’m in the dark like you are! Everyone is saying that I started that rumor! Some even said that Zhang Li’er accused me many times in public of spreading rumors about her. Damn it! Why?!
"You can’t even find one witness, while my witnesses are all over the place! And yet you still insist that you had nothing to do with this! Your efforts are meaningless!" said Wang Ke.
"Wang Ke, I’m going to kill you!" Mo Sanshan was furious, ready to attack the young man.
The latter scurried to the Demon Sovereign’s side for shelter and complained with tears in his eyes, "Demon Sovereign, look! You are here, yet he chooses to take my life to shut my mouth! If you weren’t here, don’t you think he would have killed me and removed all traces of the fact? Oh yes, he came here for no reason other than to kill me just now! Demon Sovereign, you’ve seen it with your own eyes! Why is he acting like this? He obviously knows that I’m loyal to the demonic sect! And obviously, he’s well aware that I’m your subordinate, yet he’s trying to kill me! My sovereign, your servant’s life is being threatened! Demon Sovereign, please save me!" Wang Ke begged for help.
Mo Sanshan didn’t have the guts to make a move, seeing that Wang Ke hid by the Demon Sovereign’s side. However, smoke was about to come out of his ears, seeing how Wang Ke criticized him endlessly.
The Demon Sovereign took a deep breath and said, "Mo Sanshan, can you explain to me why you want to kill Wang Ke?"
"Yeah, speak!" Wang Ke said, his tone mocking while leveraging borrowed might, "How did I offend you?"
Ha! Mo Sanshan, you old fox! Setting aside that you’ve schemed against me so many times, now you want to do it by force now? I didn’t even offend you, in any way whatsoever!"
"I…!" Mo Sanshan was lost for words.
"You have your own secrets too?" the Demon Sovereign asked with a chilling voice.
"It’s not that, Demon Sovereign; it’s just that Wang Ke is too annoying. This is a personal grudge between him and me! There’s no other reason!" Mo Sanshan was quick to offer an explanation.
"Bullsh*t! Mo Sanshan, how can there be any personal grudges between us? Say it! What did I do to offend you? Tell us! Even if there’s a single matter, I will admit it’s my fault. Say it!" Wang Ke raged.
The Demon Sovereign looked at Mo Sanshan in anticipation.
