I'm really not the Saviour! (我唔係救主囖!) [danmei/BL xuanhuan]

6 - My superpower is pissing people off

If anything, Chan Gam was in an even more difficult mood than Sek Gon. After Gou Dzing greeted him, he sat without a word and glared unceasingly at the man perched on the windowsill.

"What are your dreams about?"

"Why should I tell you that?"

Gou Dzing sighed. "Please, First Young Master. We're trying to help. I'm sure you're aware that Lady Bik has asked for our assistance."

"Ah Bik can't just make these decisions by herself. This is a family matter, and the family will solve it."

"Even if the family is destroyed?" Sek Gon asked drily.

This time, Gou Dzing managed to grab Chan Gam before he could reach Sek Gon. Unlike his wife, the young master's aim was not simply to push the young man out of the window – he had half-drawn his sword and a murderous aura was surrounding him. Sparks seemed to fly across the room between the two men and collide in mid-air.

"You! You're not even a member of any sect, and yet you act as if you're some kind of god! What gives you the right to look down on us? What gives you the right to barge into our private lives?"

Sek Gon blinked. "Chan Bik asked for our help. I can help her. What else is there to know?"

"Young Master Chan!" Gou Dzing intervened. "If you can't trust Sir Sek, at least trust me. I may still be lacking, but I have some proficiency in demon exorcism. I will stake my title to solve this case!"

Chan Gam stopped struggling and slowly sheathed his sword as he turned to examine Gou Dzing. His eyebrows creased. "You... You're the Jade Exorcist."

"I'm embarrassed to admit it, but yes, I am."

The Young Master's eyes slid over to look at Sek Gon, making a point of lingering on the hilt of his sword.

"Ah... that is... a coincidence."

"... really."

"Truly."

"Hm. So why is he asking the questions and not you, Jade Exorcist?"

"Sir Sek has some thoughts he is looking to follow up on. I trust his judgement."

Chan Gam tsked. "Another one... Fine, ask the questions."

Sek Gon had not moved the entire time. His eyes, half-hidden behind his lowered lids, continued to gaze out into open space through the window. "Your dreams."

"It's the same as everyone else's," Chan Gam said impatiently. "Tonnes of mice appearing in the bedroom, gnawing on my hair and hands and feet. It's the same every time."

"Do you believe Se Sue is after your mother's money?"

"Of course! A snake is a snake. He seduced her and now he's dividing the family to get all the money for himself!"

"Do you find it so hard to believe they fell in love?" Gou Dzing asked curiously.

Chan Gam curled his lip. "Jade Exorcist, you may be a great demon hunter, but you understand nothing about people. You're still young. If my father were here, Mother would not have given that snake a second glance. He might not have been handsome, but they truly loved each other."

"How many servants are there?" Sek Gon interrupted indifferently.

Chan Gam gritted his teeth at Sek Gon's rudeness, but responded with restraint. "... Servants...?"

"Those people that do all the work for you," Sek Gon snapped, his eyelids lifting momentarily. Quicksilver flashed and disappeared without a trace. Chan Gam half-thought he had imagined it.
