In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!

Chapter 384: Consort Wan’s Child

Hu Mei’er immediately exposed Yue Mingxuan’s disguise.

"How could you tell?"

"Actually, I guessed."

Hu Mei’er smiled.

"Since Big Brother Mingxuan only entered The Black Archon today, there was naturally a very high chance that you weren’t one of my people."

"But my current appearance..."

"It looks exactly like Prince Yue before he disguised himself."

Hu Mei’er spoke matter-of-factly.

Yue Mingxuan immediately touched his face, though he had no way of knowing exactly how he looked at the moment.

Hu Mei’er covered his mouth and laughed.

"Big Brother Mingxuan, there really aren’t many people who would walk up to me and immediately question my true identity the way you did."

"Uh..."

Only then did Yue Mingxuan realize that Hu Mei’er had tricked him.

Yet somehow he could not bring himself to feel angry.

Hu Mei’er was indeed an exceptionally clever child.

He reminded him somewhat of Yin Su.

When he thought of Yin Su, Yue Mingxuan also felt that the girl’s identity was equally mysterious and difficult to fathom.

Back when he had brought Yin Su back from the Flying Group Opera, he had already suspected that she was no ordinary girl.

Although her background was not as complicated as his own, her crimson gauze robes and the way she wore her hair always made her seem both beautiful and mysterious.

"Why did you claim to be the Imperator Jin?"

"As for that..."

Hu Mei’er smiled.

"The people of the Nine Abyssal Gate told me to do it."

"You’re one of the Nine Abyssal Gate’s people?"

Yue Mingxuan frowned.

Although they had only just met, he already had a favorable impression of Hu Mei’er.

After learning that she was Consort Wan’s child, that favorable impression had only deepened.

He had heard Consort Wan’s story before.

What he did not understand was how Consort Wan had later ended up with a Ger.

The only thing he had known was that Consort Wan had practiced martial arts until she eventually suffered a fatal deviation in her cultivation.

"My mother was already pregnant with me while she was still in the palace."

Hu Mei’er smiled.

"Later, she gave birth to me in the Cold Palace. Because of that, very few people knew of my existence."

"Afterward, I was taken in by the Nine Abyssal Gate. All of the martial arts I possess today were learned there."

"So you’re really one of the Nine Abyssal Gate’s people?"

Although Yue Mingxuan was extremely reluctant to accept it, if Hu Mei’er truly served under the Nine Abyssal Gate, then he would eventually have no choice but to fight him.

"Whether I belong to them or not depends entirely on whether Big Brother Mingxuan is willing to cooperate with me."

Hu Mei’er’s tone became unexpectedly gentle.

Yue Mingxuan looked into his eyes.

For a moment, he did not know whether he should trust him.

Hu Mei’er was undoubtedly an extraordinary Ger.

He simply did not know what decision he ought to make now.

This decision might very well determine the survival of The Black Archon.

Yue Mingxuan also deeply hated the Nine Abyssal Gate, but there was little he could do against it at the moment.

"What exactly do you want?" Yue Mingxuan finally asked, growing somewhat anxious.

He desperately wanted to know what Hu Mei’er was thinking, yet Hu Mei’er kept speaking in riddles and stubbornly refused to reveal his true intentions.

Yue Mingxuan truly had no desire to oppose Hu Mei’er, but if he continued acting this way, he would have no choice.

Although Hu Mei’er was Consort Wan’s child, and although Yue Mingxuan genuinely admired Consort Wan, if Hu Mei’er insisted on refusing to cooperate with him, there was nothing he could do.

After all, this matter concerned The Black Archon, the organization to which Shang Qinghua belonged.

Furthermore, Yue Mingxuan was the true Imperator Jin.

"Brother Mingxuan, if it were not for your fear that your identity would not be accepted by others, and your desire to take revenge on the Nine Abyssal Gate, I imagine you would not be willing to remain hidden here either, would you?"

Hu Mei’er’s voice seemed to carry a strange kind of magic.

Yue Mingxuan found himself unconsciously reflecting on his words.

"Tell me. What is it that you want?"

"Although I was raised by the Nine Abyssal Gate since childhood, my mother is still Consort Wan. I have never forgotten how she died."

A trace of anger suddenly appeared in Hu Mei’er’s voice.

Yue Mingxuan was astonished.

Could it be that Consort Wan’s death was also connected to the Nine Abyssal Gate?

As for the circumstances of Consort Wan’s death, Yue Mingxuan vaguely remembered that she had died while protecting Empress Suyin.

Although Consort Wan had already gone mad at the time, her martial arts remained formidable.

Empress Suyin held an extremely prestigious position, yet her fate had been far from favorable.

Since Consort Wan had served Empress Suyin loyally, sacrificing herself to protect her seemed entirely reasonable.

But if Consort Wan had truly been killed by members of the Nine Abyssal Gate, then what about Empress Suyin’s death back then...

"Was your mother killed by the Nine Abyssal Gate?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

"Yes."

The anger in Hu Mei’er’s voice became even more pronounced.

Yue Mingxuan frowned.

According to everything he knew, Empress Suyin should have been killed by The Black Archon.

Back then, Empress Suyin had defied The Black Archon’s prohibition and stubbornly married Shang Qinghua’s father.

That decision had ultimately led to the tragic outcome that followed.

The people responsible for Empress Suyin’s death could not possibly have been the Nine Abyssal Gate.

"How did you learn about this?" he asked.

"Although the records preserved by The Black Archon from those years are far from complete, I was still able to uncover the truth. Empress Suyin died at the hands of The Black Archon, while Consort Wan died at the hands of the Nine Abyssal Gate."

Yue Mingxuan became even more curious.

So Hu Mei’er actually knew the truth about Empress Suyin’s death?
