Thinking this, Gao Yao couldn't help smiling.
Just as Gao Yao was imagining the wonderful life that awaited him, Qian Xunji's message interrupted his daydream.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Then do you know how Yi Xiaochuan has spent these past two years?"
Hearing Qian Xunji say this, Gao Yao was puzzled. Hadn't Xiaochuan been looking for him this whole time? Could there be something else going on?
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Hasn't Xiaochuan been looking for me all these years? Before he passed out, he even said he'd finally found me!"
Seeing Gao Yao's reply, Qian Xunji couldn't help giving a cold smile.
He'd been looking for you all this time? What a joke.
The man was the protagonist. He had not only sworn brotherhood with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, but would eventually have Meng Tian, a great Qin general, take him as a younger brother. Most importantly, practically every woman he met took a liking to him.
With a life that comfortable, why would he go looking for a nobody like you?
In fact, if he hadn't accidentally caught the plague, he wouldn't even have remembered who you were!
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "How naive! Gao Yao, you're far too naive! That bastard Yi Xiaochuan was just lying to you!"
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "I'll tell you the truth. Knowing he couldn't return home, Yi Xiaochuan used his knowledge of history to cozy up to powerful people everywhere and plan for his future. Over these two years, he first swore brotherhood with Xiang Yu, then became Xiang Liang's disciple! Later, when he reached Pei County, he knew Liu Bang would become Emperor Gaozu, so he promptly cozied up to him, too."
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "And this time, why do you think he showed up where you were? Was he looking for you? No. He only went along with Liu Bang to escort conscripted laborers to Xianyang to curry favor with him. He just happened to pass by!"
Hearing Qian Xunji say this, Gao Yao's expression turned conflicted.
He found everything Qian Xunji had said difficult to accept.
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Impossible! Xiaochuan isn't that kind of person! He wouldn't just leave me without looking for me. He knew we'd traveled through time together! And besides, I'm going to be his big brother, and he's going to be my brother-in-law. Even if it was only for my sister's sake, he couldn't possibly not care whether I was alive or dead!"
Seeing Gao Yao still "clinging to hope," Qian Xunji took a deep breath and delivered the final blow.
He couldn't help it. He hated Yi Xiaochuan, that scumbag, and had no intention of giving him any chance at all.
After all, given Gao Yao's nature, once he made it big, he certainly wouldn't forget his "good brother" Yi Xiaochuan. He might even try to find a way to bring him into the Chat Group.
Qian Xunji had no intention of giving Yi Xiaochuan that chance to rise to the top in one step, so he decided to cut off that path for good!
—He'd spent so much time talking, even risking being mistaken for a spiteful gossip who badmouthed people behind their backs, partly to help Gao Yao see Yi Xiaochuan's true colors, and partly to show everyone else in the group what a scumbag Yi Xiaochuan was, so they'd despise him from the bottom of their hearts.
That way, even if Yi Xiaochuan did join one day, the others in the group would only shun, detest, and isolate him.
After all, first impressions mattered! Once someone was branded a scumbag, they might never live it down.
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Hah, for your sister's sake? Do you really think your sister matters that much to Yi Xiaochuan?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "What do you mean?"
If Gao Yao had been unable to believe it before, now he was completely baffled.
Weren't Yi Xiaochuan and his sister, Gao Lan, boyfriend and girlfriend? How could his sister not matter to him? Did that mean girlfriends didn't matter to Yi Xiaochuan?
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "That brings me to what I wanted to tell you about Yi Xiaochuan's unfaithfulness. He's unfaithful in love! If I remember correctly, before you traveled through time, Yi Xiaochuan and your sister Gao Lan were madly in love, weren't they?"
I Want to be Zhao Gao: "Yeah."
There was no reason to hide that, so Gao Yao answered Qian Xunji without hesitation.
Besides, he was curious why Qian Xunji would say Yi Xiaochuan was unfaithful in love.
Could that bastard Yi Xiaochuan have been cheating on his sister?
At the thought, Gao Yao narrowed his eyes.
He could put up with anyone bullying or insulting him, but he would never allow anyone to hurt his sister!
Martial Soul Hall Pope: "Then do you know Gao Lan was Yi Xiaochuan's twenty-seventh girlfriend? Do you know his goal is to have ninety-nine girlfriends, and that he's still working toward it? Do you know that even while dating your sister Gao Lan, he never stopped chasing other women, secretly messing around with other girls behind her back?"
Qian Xunji's barrage of questions caught Gao Yao completely off guard, leaving him speechless and filling him with fury.
But that fury wasn't directed at Qian Xunji, who was spilling the beans. It was aimed at some bastard who'd betrayed his sister—a piece of trash so vile that calling him a scumbag was an insult to scumbags.
What Gao Yao didn't know was that this was only the beginning of Yi Xiaochuan's history as a scumbag.
When Qian Xunji saw that Gao Yao had gone so long without replying, he knew his revelations had shocked him.
In fact, it wasn't just Gao Yao. The others in the group, who'd been watching the drama unfold, were also stunned by Yi Xiaochuan's goal of having ninety-nine girlfriends and his habit of chasing other girls even while he had a girlfriend.
Poison Girl of Chuyun: "Twenty-seven? Ninety-nine?! And he kept chasing other girls even after getting a girlfriend? What a scumbag! I'm a doctor, so normally I should follow the principle of compassion and never refuse to save someone in need. But this time, I support Big Shot Qian's decision. Someone like Yi Xiaochuan doesn't deserve to be saved! @I Want to be Zhao Gao."
Xiao Yi Xian thought that a scumbag like Yi Xiaochuan deserved to be hacked to pieces, poisoned from within by a thousand venoms, struck by lightning, and left to die a miserable death!
Well, that was probably what every girl in the world thought.
Scumbags deserved to die!
