Chapter 990: The Mad Lord
“Mad Lord? What did I do to earn such a moniker?”
The Northern Sea, the Wave Watching Pavilion. Ye Qing was shaking his head with a bitter smile as he eavesdropped on the conversation happening below him. His face was as white as a sheet.
The Wave Watching Pavilion was one of the most famous restaurants in the North Duke City. Situated next to the ocean, a customer could look out of the windows the ferocious waves and boundless sea. It was quite the relaxing and moving experience.
As the name implied, the North Duke City was the capital and fiefdom of the North Duke Office. The reason Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were here was simple. Sometimes, the most dangerous place was also the safest. This was something they had discussed before they carried out their plan.
Two days ago, after Ye Qing had fallen unconscious from his injuries, Feng Qingyou had saved him and brought him to the North Duke City. After two days of rest and recuperation, his physical injuries were more or less healed, though his mind was a different story. Although his foundation was unharmed, it would take some time before he fully recovers.
That was why Ye Qing was looking as white as a sheet. An outsider would think that his pallid complexion was a result of long term illness.
While he was recuperating, his killing of Chu Wangsun and Fang Muyun had spread throughout the entire world. As a result, he became world famous in a single night and earned the moniker, “Mad Lord”.
Of course, Chu was unwilling to let the matter slide and argued vehemently on three points: one, Chu Wangsun was killed by heretics. Two, Ye Qing was the murderer of the Harmony King’s son and had been executed a long time ago. Three, these so-called truths were just malicious slander spread by people harboring ulterior motives.
Not only that, Chu thunderously annihilated many organizations and sects who were spreading the “false” rumors. They aimed to eliminate the news at the source and cow the people into submission.
