Chapter 6060: Is This My Fault?

"Gulp."

"My Lord, I was wrong…" Shangguan Hongwu glanced behind him with his peripheral vision.

Wu Tongtian was furious; he hadn't expected Xiao Fan to be this clever.

Nor had he expected Shangguan Hongwu to be this incredibly foolish.

"Lord Wu, why don't you show yourself? Stop hiding; it's pointless." Xiao Fan smiled indifferently, raised the long blade in his hand, and walked step by step toward Shangguan Hongwu.

"You… Xiao Fan, what are you trying to do?!"

"What am I trying to do? Kill you." Xiao Fan looked down at Shangguan Hongwu from a superior position.

"No wonder you didn't kill me; it turns out you were restricted. What a pity. Shangguan Hongwu, you are too stupid. Even with Lord Wu helping you, you still lost." Xiao Fan shook his head in disdain.

"If I were you, I would have a hundred ways to kill me, to eliminate me, do you know that?"

"You… you're lying! I was just careless! Just careless! Otherwise, do you think you could have won?!" Shangguan Hongwu gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Hahahaha… Luring you to the prison was my plan. You thought victory was in your grasp; that was your carelessness." Xiao Fan laughed wildly and tapped Shangguan Hongwu's face with the tip of his blade.

Shangguan Hongwu was startled and kept retreating, looking like a stray dog.

"Xiao Fan, you…"

"Shangguan Hongwu, you are too stupid; you don't understand anything." Xiao Fan shook his head in disdain.

"Xiao Fan, what have you done?" At this moment, Wu Tongtian slowly appeared.

Seeing Wu Tongtian suddenly appear, everyone was shocked.

"A ghost? Is it a ghost?!" Emperor Xie Caijun couldn't help but exclaim.

"Rest assured, it's not a ghost, but a person from the outside world." Xiao Fan waved his hand at Emperor Xie Caijun: "Your Majesty, be quiet for a moment, don't speak."

"Oh, oh! Alright!" Emperor Xie Caijun nodded repeatedly, took a deep breath, and made a "hush" gesture to the Imperial Guards in the hall: "Everyone be quiet! Don't speak!"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Seeing that Xiao Fan had trained Emperor Xie Caijun so well, the corner of Wu Tongtian's eye twitched a few times.

"Xiao Fan, tell me, what have you arranged?!" Wu Tongtian said in a deep voice.

"What have I arranged? It's very simple. Shangguan Hongwu was too careless, thinking that mobilizing the garrison would be enough to defeat me." Xiao Fan chuckled: "Did you really think I wouldn't know when the person contacting the garrison left?"

"It takes at least half a month for the garrison to reach the Imperial City. For the past half month, I haven't been hostile toward you, pretending to be forced to retreat step by step, just to make you careless, Shangguan Hongwu." Xiao Fan sneered and took a deep look at Shangguan Hongwu.

"I knew you would eventually find others, so I deliberately arranged for people to tell you the truth about Zhang Yiteng and the others when you inquired."

"This way, you wouldn't suspect that those people were arranged by me. Whenever you asked, and whenever you went to the prison, that was my opportunity to act, do you understand?"

"After you arrived at the prison, I sent people to be stationed within a thousand zhang of the prison to ensure no one disturbed you."

"Before that, I also went to the prison and intimidated Zhang Yiteng and the others. When they saw you, they would definitely be more vigilant and wouldn't easily reveal information, just to delay your time."

"Everything went very smoothly. Shangguan Hongwu, you have lost. Are you convinced now?"

Xiao Fan smiled as he recounted his plan, piece by piece.

"Xiao Fan, you… you are too despicable!" Shangguan Hongwu said angrily.

"Slap."

Wu Tongtian was infuriated and backhanded Shangguan Hongwu across the face: "Trash! Shut your mouth!"

Wu Tongtian was enraged that even after he intervened personally, he had still lost.

"Lord Wu, please calm your anger!" Xiao Fan bowed to Wu Tongtian with cupped fists.

Xiao Fan could afford to offend Shangguan Hongwu, but he could not afford to offend Wu Tongtian.

After all, Xiao Fan wanted to win simply and didn't want to add unnecessary complications.

Seeing Xiao Fan's respectful attitude, Wu Tongtian's mood improved slightly.

"Wu Tongtian, you didn't lose. It's just that the person you chose is too useless. This Shangguan Hongwu is not worth using. I even suspect… whether he got his position as Captain of the Personal Guard through nepotism." Xiao Fan sneered.

"Xiao Fan! Don't talk nonsense! I didn't get in through nepotism!"

"Shut up! You trash!" Wu Tongtian glared viciously at Shangguan Hongwu: "After we go out, you will be just an ordinary member of the Personal Guard. You are dismissed from your position as Captain!"

"Ah?!" Shangguan Hongwu was startled.

"Lord Wu! This isn't all my fault…" Shangguan Hongwu was startled and looked at Wu Tongtian pitifully.

"Not all your fault? Hehehe… Do you mean to say that this is my fault?!" Wu Tongtian's face turned cold as he stared fixedly at Shangguan Hongwu.

"No! No! That's not what I meant." Shangguan Hongwu shook his head repeatedly, terrified.

"Hehehe… It better not be." Wu Tongtian scoffed.

At this moment, Wu Tongtian was filled with murderous intent.

He really hadn't seen many losers like Shangguan Hongwu.
