The End Times as a Song

Chapter 122 Patricide

How can I come to this conclusion...?

Tu Shan Yan gave a mocking sneer and asked Tu Shan Qi a question in return.

"I'm so sorry to you three, for believing the rumors about the twin foxes...! If you think killing me will make amends, then go ahead and do it!"

Tu Shanqi couldn't refute Tu Shanyan's words, but he couldn't hurt Tu Shanyan either. Caught between a rock and a hard place, he decided to take a gamble and closed his eyes.

"You're such a bastard...! Do you think you can make up for it by dying?"

When Tu Shan Yan saw Tu Shan Qi close his eyes, his heart softened. Even if he killed Tu Shan Qi, could he make amends? He knew very well that Tu Shan Qi was right. If he killed Tu Shan Qi, Lady Yu Yang would be truly finished.

"Ah Yan... Ah Yan...! What are you doing...?"

Just then, as luck would have it, Li Luo barged in. Seeing Tu Shan Yan approaching Tu Shan Qi, creating an awkward and ambiguous atmosphere, she shyly asked Tu Shan Yan a question.

"I didn't do anything, just messing around...!"

Tu Shanyan then made an excuse and took the opportunity to let go of his hand, pretending to play with it casually.

"Ayan, you...! Clan Chief, are you alright? We've been looking everywhere for you, we never expected to find you here...!"

Li Luo glanced at Tu Shan Yan, speechless. She walked over to Tu Shan Qi and asked him with concern.

"Li Luo, I'm alright...!"

Tu Shanqi straightened his clothes as he answered Li Luo.

"Where is the clan chief's wife?"

Li Luo inquired about Madam Yu Yang with concern.

"She...? I need to check the ancient texts...! See if there's any way to help her recover as quickly as possible...!"

Tu Shanqi looked at the unconscious Lady Yuyang lying on the bed and replied to Li Luo with a somber expression.

"I'm so glad you're alright, Madam. You scared me to death!!"

Following Tu Shanqi's gaze, Li Luo saw the half-dead, motionless Madam Yu Yang. She breathed a sigh of relief, patted her heart, and muttered to herself.

"Tch...! You call this nothing? Whether he'll even wake up is questionable...?"

Tu Shanyan couldn't stand it any longer. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Ah Yan, what do you mean by this...?"

Li Luo was stunned. She asked Tu Shan Yan in confusion.

"Ask your clan chief!"

Tu Shan Yan looked at Tu Shan Qi with a sarcastic tone.

"Chieftain...! Madam, what's wrong...!"

A hint of worry appeared on Li Luo's face as she anxiously asked Tu Shanqi.

"Li Luo, don't worry, she is my wife, I will find a way to protect her."

Tu Shanqi glanced at Li Luo and offered a few words of comfort.

"You make it sound nice, but don't just talk the talk and try to fool people later."

Tu Shan Yan grew increasingly displeased with his father; for every word Tu Shan Qi said, Tu Shan Yan would retort with ten. Fortunately, Tu Shan Qi didn't seem to care. He didn't utter any angry words in response to Tu Shan Yan. Instead, he looked at Madam Yu Yang's pale face with deep affection, feeling heartbroken. After a long while, he turned to Li Luo and said...

"Li Luo, keep an eye on Madam...! If anything happens, come to my study immediately...!"

Tu Shanqi gave Li Luo a few words of advice.

"Yes, sir! Li Luo obeys!"

Li Luo performed a fox clan ritual and accepted the order.

"All you do all day is pretend...!"

The more Tu Shan Qi ignored Tu Shan Yan, the more unbalanced Tu Shan Yan felt. He continued to mock Tu Shan Qi. After giving instructions to Li Luo, Tu Shan Qi hurriedly left the room.

"Hey...! You old codger, where are you going...?"

Tu Shan Yan was about to go and cause trouble for Tu Shan Qi, but Li Luo stopped him.

"Ah Yan...! Don't make things worse...!"

Li Luo shook her head and reminded Tu Shan Yan of something. Perhaps only Li Luo understood the bitterness in Tu Shan Qi's heart at this moment.
