“Sir Tianhu, why did you run of before you were finished speaking.” Dugu and Long Zaitian filed in.
“I just felt there was soone interesting here, so I ca over first.” Tianhu’s visual appraisal of gave goose bumps.
Using Voice Transmission, Shen Yiren conveyed, “He’s not friendly. Don’t panic. Just be your usual self.”
“Roger that, over.” I stuffed a green foxtail in mouth, slouched into my chair, crossed my legs and loudly rambled, “Sup, bro?”
Boss Shen: “Don’t overdo it, either…”
Tianhu cracked a smile. “You don’t seem to have any manners,” he said as he shifted his inquisitive gaze from to Boss Shen. “If you don’t know how to keep your subordinates in line, how about I lend you a hand?”
The pressure that Tianhu’s eyes emitted was closer to a ravenous beast than the ntal cultivation of an orthodox sect. The way he looked at you created the impression that he could sll how unsettled you were.
“What manners? You know whose turf you are on? You know who runs this place? You know who I am?” I questioned.
“I have heard. I know who you are, and the sa goes for the identities you’re trying to cover.” Tianhu spared no effort to hide his hostility toward .
I squinted. “And?”
“Get out of your chair.”
“Beg .”
“Haha, you may not be aware, but I am one of the three strongest individuals in this nation.”
I rolled my eyes back into my head. “So what type of dog does that make you?”
Long Zaitian tugged my shirt. “Oi, Ming Feizhen, stop embarrassing yourself. The Ultimate Three are held in the sa regard as Princes and marquises. You’re nobody to him.” He then whispered, “His Majesty thinks well of you right now. As long as you don’t respond to his provocations, he can’t do anything to you.”
I could understand Long Zaitian not getting along with Tianhu when they belonged to different camps. If I were Long Zaitian, I’d also be more concerned about Emperor’s Entourage’s best fighter than weak Liu Shan n. That being said, my gut told Long Zaitian was actually just jealous I was more handso than him.
“Yeah, I don’t like this moocher at all.”
Told you. Long Zaitian showing concern for would make him… not Long Zaitian.
Wait, why is Long Zaitian siding with ?
Dugu urged, “Brother Ming has always been the kind to speak his mind. Please do not mind it…”
“It’s fine. I’m an affable man.” Tianhu advanced toward , still grinning. “You’re the ntally dented dog.”
Dugu’s knees buckled. “Why are you getting into a verbal fight with him?!”
I simpered. “Nah, you’re the dog.”
“You are.”
“You are.”
“Piss off.”
“Piss off.”
“You piss off.”
“Eat a dick.”
“You’re a dog.”
“You’re the dog.”
“Shut up! Both of you!” Boss Shen blustered. “How childish can you be?”
“He started it,” I replied.
“True. What are we arguing for? I am here for sothing else today.” As Tianhu ca closer to , he perford a divinisation on his fingers, disguising his preparation to grab .
Shen Yiren stepped in front of , prompting the surprised Tianhu to stop.
“… Long-ti no see, Shen Yiren,” said Tianhu.
“Long-ti no see, Sir Tianhu. The last ti we t was when you fought Yi Ya according to mory.”
“Oh, when I stomped the pitiful qilin? That has been quite so ti ago, indeed. Two years, I believe?”
“You sure love to exaggerate, Sir. Yi Ya only lost to you in one exchange. If you were to spar again now, it would be hard to predict who would win.”
Tianhu licked his lips. “Isn’t that what makes it more interesting?”
“What are you doing now? Flouting your duty?” Although she didn’t speak in her vintage booming voice, Shen Yiren didn’t buckle under the pressure. “What part of this is for His Majesty’s sake?”
“Who can stop ?”
I taunted, “Who’d care to stop you, tard?”
Tianhu looked back my way, wearing his bloodlust on his sleeve. “You’re the tard, braindead fly.”
“Okay, punching bag.”
“You’re the punching bag.”
“Piss off.”
“Piss off.”
“You piss off.”
“What’s with all the noise?” Emperor Yuansheng opened his door to see us all outside. “Tianhu, why are you arguing with Earl Ming?”
Tianhu started with a palm-fist salute. “Your Majesty, your subject found sothing very interesting. Therefore, he had to rush off before he could report to you. He has now confird his suspicions and was on his way to share with you.”
“And that is?” questioned Emperor Yuansheng.
Tianhu stole a gander my way, then took out a jar of sothing that freaked out only . “Your subject has confird this product cos from an old store in the capital. It is a product that can stand the test of ti without changing whatsoever.”
Emperor Yuansheng: “Oh? Is it gems or love?”
“… Hair dye.”
Emperor Yuansheng, brows locked, took the hair dye off Tianhu. “Why didn’t you save this for when we’re in private? Look how many people are around… Tell quietly: where do I need to apply this?”
“Your Majesty, it is not for you…”
“Hmm?”
Tianhu raised his voice. “It belongs to Earl Ming. I found it in his luggage, which is strange. That is why I took it for validation.”
Emperor Yuansheng’s face read, “So what if it’s his? What’s so exciting about it?”
During my ti out, my luggage was thrown wherever, and I had no clue if there were any items in there that could expose . I never noticed Tianhu took my hair dye.
“So, Earl Ming, what do you have to say?”
“Well, ahem… it is not mine,” I responded.
Tianhu took out a sheet of paper. “This is the testimony and invoice from the capital.”
“… Okay, it is mine.”
“No excuses now, huh?” Tianhu triumphantly grinned.
Not even Boss Shen could follow, let alone the others. Emperor Yuansheng queried, “Even if it is Earl Ming’s… Just give it back to the man. Young people are prone to having grey hairs if they stress a lot. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about. If anyone should be reprimanded here, it is you for you violated his privacy.”
“Your Majesty, your subject investigated suspicious things about him on your orders. He is probably connected to Demon Sect’s Lord San Shen and Night Fortress’ Master Ming. Although their appearances are a mystery, people can testify one of them has all white hair, while the other has all black hair. Ming Feizhen’s black hair is obviously dyed using this product. What is he hiding? You can tell without thinking.”
“Hmm… You make good points.”
“Ming Feizhen, I suspect you are colluding with Demon Sect. To prove your innocence, will you allow to wash your hair?”
