Chapter 760: Chapter 759: Acting as a Flower Guardian
Wufu’s behavior was really a bit speechless. Had it been any other woman who heard that she had beco the envy of the eyes of water bandits, she would have turned pale and shrunken in a corner crying out to heaven and earth in panic, but here she was, rubbing her hands together, eager to jump into a fight right away.
"Miss," Su Luo, holding back a laugh, said, "even if each of us could fight ten n, we can’t sustain a protracted battle. Besides, eradicating water bandits is Nanyue’s affair. How can we overstep our bounds?"
"Exactly. You must be out of your mind thinking why should we waste our energy for nothing. Not to ntion, doing so would expose the Prince," Hoo Die seriously added.
Wufu, looking rather sheepish, replied, "I was just saying."
They were just passing by; they were not local officers or anything like that. Ah Jiu was the Foreign Prince after all—he couldn’t care less about the banditry rampant in Nanyue’s territory!
"We can’t wipe out the Sky Ghost Fort, but minor skirmishes are inevitable. Moreover, we can only afford to engage in such skirmishes if the plan is successful. Otherwise, we’ll end up as the ’fat sheep’ you ntioned," Ah Jiu said.
"So what should we do?"
Ah Jiu took over the map, which detailed the various peaks and tributaries of the Gobi Beach. After a careful look, he turned to Tang Shi, "You take three n who are good swimrs and have excellent qinggong skills and kidnap Sang Xiaotian for . Then wait for backup here at Ghost Hollow. If anything goes wrong, take the land route and wait at the next port."
"Understood."
"If possible, create so chaos by starting a fire. Once the person is captured, set off fireworks as a signal," Ah Jiu added.
Tang Shi accepted the command.
"Go now, and be careful. Ti it well," Ah Jiu waved his hand.
"I take my leave."
After Tang Shi left, Wufu said, "Actually, I could have gone too."
Ah Jiu gave her a glance, "Stay put. Can you handle the water this February?"
Wufu snorted, "I’ve swum in winter before." In her previous life.
"Miss, the Sky Ghost Fort is known for its natural defenses, easy to defend but hard to attack. Even the garrison soldiers are helpless against it, which is precisely because of this. So cliffs can only be scaled using qinggong," Yuan Ye gently pointed out.
Are they suggesting she couldn’t climb cliffs without qinggong? Who said one absolutely needs qinggong to reach the top of a cliff?
Wufu narrowed her eyes and gave Yuan Ye a scornful look, thinking, youngster, you underestimate
now, but you’ll see what I’m capable of in the future.
Yuan Ye had no idea that so people didn’t need qinggong to climb cliffs and that qinggong wasn’t always effective in so places. He would later understand to never underestimate anyone, especially not Wufu.
Ah Jiu continued with the arrangents; what ca next was not covert operations, but overt ones.
Wufu blinked, propping her chin and watching Ah Jiu issue orders. His confident deanor of commanding thousands of troops was undeniably the spirit of a leader, captivating to the point where one could not look away.
Everyone had received their orders and left, even Bai Xiaobai was no exception. He had no martial arts skills, but he had poison—anyone who dared to ss with him would die!
The room quieted down, and Ah Jiu gave a significant cough.
Only then did Wufu realize that they were the only two left in the room. She couldn’t help but ask, "Is everything settled? What about ?"
"You just stay out of trouble," Ah Jiu huffed.
Wufu retorted with a laugh, "Do you really think I’m the type to stay out of trouble?"
"Miss Jin will co over later. Will you keep her company?"
Wufu arched an eyebrow, "So, my duty is to be the Flower Guardian?"
Ah Jiu laughed, "That’s right, Wufu is truly pleased."
To hell with being pleased. When has she ever been apt at playing the role of a Flower Guardian? And what if she frightened Miss Jin, who was so delicate?
