Chapter 230: 147: I am Suo Lun! (2 updates)

Note: The second update is here, with 10,000 words already updated, and there’s definitely a third one coming. I’ve only slept three hours from last night to now, and I’ll continue to desperately type. Brothers, don’t hold onto your monthly votes anymore, cast them to me, please!

...

At this time, it was already deep into the night. Suo Lun silently waited in the Central Army Hall of the Silver Wolf Legion, running through all possible situations in his mind.

He was waiting for the summon from Yan Shuang and Turing Duo.

Without a doubt, Turing Duo would tell Yan Shuang that he was Suo Lun. How should he respond?

He had to choose the best plan of all, which was not only the most favorable for himself but also for Yan Nai’er.

He needed the Silver Wolf Legion, but the premise was that it could not harm Yan Nai’er. She had already suffered a huge blow once and couldn’t withstand a second one.

Now, there wasn’t much time left. By tomorrow at the latest, the other hungry wolves of Tianye City would launch an attack, and the Silver Wolf Legion itself would face internal division.

Moreover, his identity was also at risk of being exposed. No matter how he looked at it, the current situation was a dead end.

The harm Suo Lun had previously caused to Yan Shuang was far greater than she could have ever imagined.

Originally, Suo Lun’s plan was to slowly re-enter her heart, to soothe her wounds, and eventually to reconcile completely.

He even considered transforming their relationship directly from lovers to spouses. By then, revealing his identity bit by bit would have much less of an impact on her.

If his identity were exposed prematurely, the immediate shock to Yan Shuang would be immense, and the consequences were completely predictable.

All dreams of reconciling with her and obtaining the Silver Wolf Legion were shattered.

Moreover, once his identity was exposed in front of Turing Duo, what he faced was an endless pursuit, making it difficult to even survive and return to Rage Wave Kingdom.

...

At this moment, footsteps came from the stairs below. These were not the steps of Yan Shuang, but of Turing Duo.

This cunning woman even deliberately walked very slowly, trying to inflict a sense of pressure on Suo Lun.

The secret door to the basement opened, and Turing Duo said, "Suo Lun, come down and face your old lover with your true face."

Without giving Suo Lun any time to react, she walked downstairs. After a few steps, she paused momentarily and said, "Suo Lun, you could run away now if you want, see if you can get away. Perhaps, this is your only chance to escape."

In the end, he had to confront it. Whether he reached out or shrank back, he would face the knife.

Suo Lun took a deep breath and started walking down the stairs to the basement, even making sure not to forget to close the secret door behind him.

Fortunately, he was fully prepared. When he heard that Yan Shuang was going to attend the banquet and that there would be guests from Rage Wave Kingdom, he anticipated that this moment might come.

...

The instant Suo Lun stepped into the secret chamber, Yan Shuang’s gaze was fixated on his face, unflinching.

That look was incredibly complex and even carried a hint of panic, making it almost impossible for Suo Lun to meet her eyes.

All these days, Yan Shuang had been strong and domineering, cold and composed, as if she would not change her expression even if mountains crumbled before her.

However, at this moment, her gaze was on the verge of collapsing. Suo Lun was her only weak spot, love once engraved deeply in her heart was now her sole vulnerability.

She did not want the man before her to be Suo Lun, nor did she want to see Suo Lun.

"Suo Lun, don’t try to deceive any longer, show your true face," Turing Duo said with a faint smile, full of absolute certainty.

Yan Shuang’s beautiful eyes remained locked on his face, not blinking even once, determined not to miss any detail of his expression.

Suo Lun couldn’t help but wryly smile, "Miss Turing Duo, this is the third time you’ve said that name. I now also know who he is, but... I’m really not him, okay?"

Turing Duo laughed, "You’re really stubborn. At this point, you still deny it."

Following that, Suo Lun spread his hands helplessly, "You say I am Suo Lun, fine, please provide any evidence, and I will absolutely cooperate."

Turing Duo said, "That face of yours is fake, covered with a special substance that makes it look waxy. Plus, your beard is fake too, stuck on. So, will you remove it yourself or should I do it?"

Suo Lun’s gaze suddenly turned bitter as he turned to Yan Shuang, "Do I really need to reveal my true face? Are you sure you’ve made up your mind?"

Yan Shuang nodded, "I want to see the truth."

"Then please, be prepared," Suo Lun sighed, pain and struggle apparent in his eyes.

Having said that, he began to tear off the fake beard from his face, piece by piece.

Then he took out a bottle of solvent from his bosom, poured it on his hands, thoroughly rubbed them together, and then began wiping his face.

Consequently, the waxy hue, along with all the makeup of his disguise, melted away, peeling off his face to reveal his true appearance.

At the sight of this face, Yan Shuang and Turing Duo’s faces changed dramatically.

Suo Lun gave a bitter smile, "It’s what you wanted to see; you insisted... that I reveal this devilish face."

Once the disguise was washed away, the face revealed was not the handsome face of Suo Lun. It was a face that was incredibly ugly, grotesquely misshapen.

The entire face was full of craters, the skin was twisted in an abnormal pattern, and it bore strange and terrifying blotches. What words could describe it?
