Chapter 235: Chapter 235 - There are two Mu Qings, they are a pair of siblings

A pair of unbranded casual sports shoes were stepping on Mu Qing’s face.

Qin Ruan looked down at the ghost beneath her feet with contempt and disgust. "I hate being manipulated, especially when it involves something I care about."

Mu Qing laid on the ground, disheveled and battered, his face with delicate makeup pressed against the ground. His blue cheongsam was pulled up to his knees, revealing his legs that were even more perfect than a woman’s.

Stripped of his ability to resist, Mu Qing had regained his composure after the initial panic. A smile even appeared on his face.

He didn’t care about his current weak state, he chuckled lightly, "I just stated the facts."

"But your damn facts have brought trouble upon you."

Qin Ruan put more pressure on her foot, her voice sharp as she questioned, "Are the recent murders in Capital City your doing?"

Her straightforward questioning left Mu Qing momentarily stunned.

Then his pleasant laughter echoed in the room.

As his laughter subsided, his flirtatious gaze landed on Qin Ruan.

It was undeniable that a person of such beauty, even when in disarray, was a pleasing sight to behold.

Mu Qing said, "Want to know? I’m not your match, you can let go of me first, then we can talk slowly."

Doubt flickered in Qin Ruan’s eyes, but she quickly took action.

She withdrew her foot from his face but did not let go of the Golden Whip binding him.

The threat of the unknown was tamed only by obedience.

Qin Ruan took two steps back, crossed her arms, her expression chillingly cold.

"This shouldn’t hinder you from talking."

Mu Qing sat up from the ground, shaking the stray hairs from his face.

He looked up at Qin Ruan, "Yes, I did it."

His confession was straightforward, without any beating around the bush.

This made Qin Ruan frown. Mu Qing’s casual admission felt odd to her.

There was something off about his attitude.

But she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

She fixed her gaze on Mu Qing’s unrepentant face, "Why did you do this?"

Mu Qing shifted his torso trying to make himself more comfortable on the ground.

But all he got was a tightening of the Golden Whip’s constraint, his soul becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

Mu Qing grunted lowly, casually saying, "Just felt like killing. I didn’t like the look of them."

Qin Ruan remained silent, her frosty gaze piercing through him like a blade, her lips pursed in displeasure.

After a prolonged silence, Mu Qing sensed that something was wrong.

He looked up, meeting Qin Ruan’s unfathomable dark eyes.

Mu Qing understood that his answer had been too perfunctory.

In just a moment, the aura around him changed, a thick Evil Qi and cold air spreading from his body, as if he became a different person.

Hatred and chill-inducing flames burned in his eyes, adding a sense of grotesque horror to him.

Mu Qing’s voice returned to its normal male pitch, "What reason do I need to kill them? I couldn’t bear to see them living better lives than me, living smoothly. I died, yet some people are still alive.

I won’t accept it, there must be something I can do to make myself feel better, killing them and watching their agony as they die brings a particular kind of pleasure to me!"

His tone was low and dangerous, hate and madness lacing his words.

He’s dead, but he can’t stand seeing others alive, so he kills.

There are millions of living people in this world - is he planning on killing them all?

What foolish, ghostly logic!

"He’s not the murderer!"

Changyuan stood up, his unwavering stance toward Mu Qing remained the same, even in front of Xia Yunchen, his master.

Qin Ruan’s anger toward him had disappeared. She leaned against a display cabinet, her gaze slightly downcast, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, Xia Yunchen spoke up, "There was a very famous opera star during the Republic of China period, his name was Mu Qing. He had extraordinary talent and beauty. Because of his androgynous appearance and superior femininity, he caught the attention of many as soon as he first stepped on stage, bowing down to his charm.

Since childhood, Mu Qing was sold to an opera troupe and spent his life striving to become a famous actor. His outstanding appearance and talent were highly prized by the troupe leader. Not only did he have to learn and perfect his acting skills, but he also had to learn to balance various relationships.

Even after gaining fame, Mu Qing’s path in opera was not smooth. In fact, it was extremely rough. Less than two years after he made a name for himself, he chose to commit suicide. His death shook all of Shanghai and he was considered one of the most tragic actors of his era."

Xia Yunchen spoke calmly, briefly summarizing Mu Qing’s short life.

If one looked carefully at Xia Yunchen’s expression, they could see that he looked uneasy. He was showing signs of surprise and shock, even fear wouldn’t be too far of a stretch.

"Mr. Xia has really studied the script."

Mu Qing looked back at Xia Yunchen, a soft smile on his face.

The corners of his eyes crinkled, presenting an image of a pitifully forlorn beauty.

This beauty held anyone who looked at it captivated for a moment.

Mu Qing’s beauty was not offensive; instead, the more one observed, the more alluring it became.

Xia Yunchen understood something when he heard Mu Qing introduce himself earlier on.

The script he was rehearsing during the day was about Mu Qing, a tragic character. However, Mu Qing was only a supporting actor in the script.

All the strange occurrences he experienced during the day most likely could be blamed on him.

"The influence I felt during the day, was it all because of you?" Xia Yunchen asked with conviction.

Mu Qing merely laughed and remained silent.

This silence was effectively his acknowledgement.

"Master, Mu Qing could never be a murderer!"

Changyuan’s protection of Mu Qing remained unwavering even in front of Xia Yunchen, his master, which was exceedingly strange.

Qin Ruan lifted her eyes, her gaze moving between Mu Qing, Changyuan, and Xia Yunchen. Her brow was furrowed, confusion in her eyes.

Upon hearing Changyuan’s address, Xia Yunchen’s lip twitched.

Master?

What sort of titles were these? He was a perfectly modern young man, so why did it feel like he had been transported back to ancient times as a young lord?

"Brother, you might have mistaken me for someone else."

Frankly, Xia Yunchen really wanted to ask, ’Which mental hospital did you escape from?’

"People know of only one Mu Qing, but they are unaware that there was another Mu Qing. They were siblings, one in the limelight, the other in the shadows."

Changyuan, who was standing in front of Xia Yunchen, stepped forward.

He walked up to Qin Ruan and sighed quietly, "Friend Qin, I think there might indeed be more to this than meets the eye."

"Oh?" Qin Ruan’s voice carried a hint of disinterest.

An alarm bell went off in Mu Qing’s head.

His expression drastically changed.

"There is no hidden truth! I’m the one who killed those people!"

Mu Qing’s composure vanished without a trace, his face hideously contorted, his eyes radiating a ruthless red light.

This was the true face of a centuries-old malevolent ghost.

Qin Ruan’s eyes curved upward into a smile, her lips twisted into a smirk.

She nodded slightly at Changyuan, "I’m all ears."

Compassion filled Changyuan’s eyes as he looked at Mu Qing.

"At its peak, Guichun Garden was highly sought after by the powerful and wealthy lords and businessmen, all because of Mu Qing, the main opera star. But what people didn’t know was that there were two Mu Qings, one in the light and one in the shadow. They were siblings."

"Shut up! Shut up!" Mu Qing was thoroughly enraged.

Qin Ruan disliked being interrupted. She shot a cold glance at Mu Qing, and retorted coldly, "You’re the one who should shut up. If you continue to shout indiscriminately, I’ll make sure you never speak again!"
