"Gathering Seal failed? Sister, are you sure you saw right?"
Feng Luochen was so startled, his tongue nearly tied itself into a knot.
He had heard of the failure of the Gathering Seal, but a failure usually ant death, and that was just too absurd.
Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have succeeded in the Gathering Seal earlier by a twist of fate, otherwise, wouldn’t he have faced a life-and-death crisis as well?
Dongfang Yong also broke out in a cold sweat.
He had succeeded in the Gathering Seal in Ka City, but it was also quite baffling for him. His intention to join the Crown Prince Mansion this ti was actually to enhance his own cultivation, but upon seeing the corpse that had been brought out from the Crown Prince Mansion, he imdiately chickened out.
"Do you still doubt your sister?"
Feng Bailing also felt surprised. She had long heard about the Crown Prince Mansion recruiting people through the Gathering Seal, but the Crown Prince Mansion kept this matter highly confidential. Even soone as inford as Dugu Wu would find it difficult to obtain any news.
"The Crown Prince Mansion is really trapping people. This isn’t helping with the Gathering Seal at all, it’s simply lethal. Sister, should we expose this to help... to help that annoying Dugu Wu?"
Feng Luochen said.
"We have no evidence, and besides, you said the corpse was dragged out by a wolf. Where is that wolf now?"
Feng Bailing shook her head.
"That wolf ran off so fast, dropped the corpse in front of us and was gone in a puff of smoke. I have never seen such a huge and fierce wolf."
Feng Luochen exclaid.
There are actually people in Chu City raising such wolves.
Wolves...
Feng Bailing thought of Hei Dian, and then she thought of Xiao Junci.
Could it be that this wolf was related to Xiao Junci?
"What’s the use of telling her so much? A re woman with long hair and short wisdom."
Dongfang Yong disdainfully said.
"Don’t you dare talk about my sister like that!"
Feng Luochen said angrily.
Despite his dissatisfaction with Feng Bailing marrying Dugu Wu, she was still his sister after all. He could disdain her, but no one else had that right.
"I can’t be bothered to talk more with you."
Dongfang Yong turned and walked away.
"Hold on, Brother Dongfang, you’re not still thinking of going to the Crown Prince Mansion, are you?"
Feng Luochen chased after him, and as for the corpse, they had long forgotten it.
"Go buy a coffin, then invite Prince Wu and the Third Prince over."
Feng Bailing watched Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong leaving, then, after thinking it over, she took out the Human Skin Mask Gong Zhu had given her from the ergency kit, put it on, and stepped out of Xinglin Spring.
"You and Feng Bailing are of the sa path, our paths differ from now on, and we will not plan together!"
Dongfang Yong said coldly.
"Brother Dongfang, my sister is my sister, and I am . We are brothers who have shared life-and-death experiences, served together as soldiers, and our mutual enemy is Dugu Wu. How can our paths differ? And don’t hold a grudge against my sister; she was forced by Dugu Wu to marry into the Wu Royal Mansion."
Feng Luochen spent a while trying to appease him until Dongfang Yong’s expression finally improved.
"We can’t stay in Chu City any longer, it’s better to take assignnts in other places, at least there’s a way out. Such a pity to miss out on the Competition Among Ten Countries."
Dongfang Yong said sowhat unwillingly.
Swoosh—
A stone was thrown over.
Dongfang Yong, on alert, caught the stone with a backhanded grip.
"Who’s there?"
Dongfang Yong and Feng Luochen both turned their heads.
And then, a plain-looking woman walked out from the alley beside them.
Seeing her, Dongfang Yong’s face changed drastically, his face white with anger, he gritted his teeth and said,
"It’s you! I’ve had such a hard ti looking for you."
As they spoke, Dongfang Yong exploded with Gang Qi all over his body.
"Brother Yong? Is she your nesis?"
Feng Luochen also put on a wary face, but after all, the other party was just a weak woman; it wouldn’t be right for two grown n to gang up on her.
Besides, although the woman’s appearance was ordinary, Feng Luochen felt an indescribable sense of closeness to her.
"It’s more than just being enemies. My fall to this state, my inability to survive in ’Beilang,’ it’s all because of her."
Dongfang Yong recognized the woman before him—the one who had forced him to sign an indenture contract before while disguised as a man, and took away the mission box.
"Dongfang Yong, is that how you speak to your lifesaver? If it weren’t for , you would have died in the deep forests of Ka City."
Feng Bailing looked at Dongfang Yong with a smile brimming in her eyes.
Dongfang Yong gritted his teeth.
"Or do you think your life is worth less than a box?"
As she spoke, Feng Bailing took out the contract that Dongfang Yong had fingerprinted earlier.
"You took advantage of when I was vulnerable; that contract should be void," said Dongfang Yong angrily.
"Whether it’s void or not, we’ll have to check with the Soldier Inn. If you want to breach the contract, that’s fine. I can make dozens, hundreds of copies of this contract. A rcenary who breaks his word—I don’t think any rcenary Corps would want to use you."
The more Feng Bailing spoke, the uglier Dongfang Yong’s face beca.
Dongfang Yong exchanged a glance with Feng Luochen, and almost simultaneously, they changed their stances—one attacking from the left and the other from the right, sandwiching Feng Bailing in the middle.
Feng Bailing had anticipated this.
She slipped by like a loach, darting past Dongfang Yong, and with a light flick of her finger on the back of Dongfang Yong’s head, she passed by.
Dongfang Yong was furious; this woman actually dared to humiliate him.
But in the next mont, he felt the Gang Qi in his body drain away, and he froze completely.
"What hidden weapon did you use on ? Why do I feel so weak, my Gang Qi..."
Dongfang Yong hurriedly tried to gather his Gang Qi, attempting to perform the Gathering Seal.
But he couldn’t form the Wuji Seal at his brow no matter how hard he tried.
Feng Luochen was also stunned.
"The difference in strength between you two and is too great. I can make you lose all your cultivation with just a flick of my finger."
As Bai Ling finished speaking, she pointed her finger at Feng Luochen.
Feng Luochen, the simpleton, imdiately dared not make a move.
"Holy moly, Brother Yong, you really can’t gather Qi anymore?"
Dongfang Yong was also frightened.
He had thought the other party was a despicable and shaless villain; who would have thought she was an extraordinary expert who could settle the matter with a flick of her finger?
"Indeed, there isn’t a trace of Gang Qi left."
Now, Feng Luochen truly believed it.
"Senior, we were blind to not recognize Mount Tai, please spare our lives."
Feng Luochen, pulling Dongfang Yong, knelt down before Feng Bailing with two thumps.
A twitch appeared on the corner of Feng Bailing’s mouth.
It seed her own brother was indeed adept at playing to the wind.
Affected by the Dragon Suppressing Needle, Dongfang Yong wouldn’t be able to gather Gang Qi for a while, and the man thought his cultivation was destroyed by Feng Bailing. At the mont, his face was ashen, and he couldn’t utter a single word.
"Do you want to recover your Gang Qi?"
Feng Bailing glanced at the two simpletons before her.
The Phoenix rcenary Corps was still very small; besides Zhang Dafa and Zhang Erfa, there were only her and Ouyang Chenchen; they needed so new blood.
"Yes! I’ll answer for him!"
Feng Luochen nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.
"You sign this contract as well; from now on, the two of you will serve the Phoenix rcenary Corps. I’ve heard you have a female companion too. If you can persuade her to join as well, not only can I help him recover his Gang Qi, but I can also find a way to help you all improve your cultivation."
Feng Bailing laid the contract in front of Feng Luochen.
