According to Feng Jiutian, in the month that I was coaching Zizi and procrastinating while I was it, a number of things happened around the capital. Firstly, Demon Sect resurfaced, and soone important among them had arrived. Two months prior, Emperors Entourages agents noticed signs unidentified people of the martial world gathering, but they didnt carry out a large-scale annihilation for an unknown reason. However, it was probably safe to assu Emperors Entourage classified the people as threats no more dangerous than street thugs.
The group that convened illegally was called Yizhen Dream or sothing. Their na was supposed to sound poetic I think? The mbers ca from all over the land and groups, and their purposes were unknown. Emperors Entourage likely designated them as targets to watch out for because they popped up when Fiends Genesis was rampaging in the city, which was understandable given the circumstances. What was odd was that there were faces theyd never seen near the capital, and they couldnt find any records of those individuals across the Central Plain. There was no need to think. Anyone who was able to avoid detection from Emperors Entourage in the Central Plain and then suddenly show up in the capital had pulled so strings. It went without saying, then, that they were no ordinary folks.
Emperors Entourage tailed the group, but they were careful to not prematurely alert the target for so ti. It wasnt until they found so strands of blonde hair at a gathering did they finally have a clue and theorised the target was from the Western Regions based on the hair. It took another two months of digging did they find out the hair belonged to a mber of Demon Sect, and said mber was in their records Elise. They swiftly apprehended the maiden who was drawing sothing without hurting her.
I didnt question Emperors Entourages combat abilities Okay, I admit I didnt think too highly of them. Based off Dugu and Tie Hanyis levels, Id never have believed you if you told they couldve captured her without any sacrifices. Her Skywind Nine Forms was nothing to scoff at. Dugu had the ability to beat her, but it shouldnt have been such a lopsided victory. Plus, it made no sense to for soone of her status to have been alone without any guards in the capital. Nevertheless, as long as I knew where she was held, I figured it couldnt have been too hard to break her out. Emperors Entourage werent ruthless, so she was probably safe and sound.
With my brows together, I said, Youve said a lot, but I dont see how this has anything to do with .
Feng Jiutian responded, Oh, she was captured, but they have to transport her to prison, right? I hijacked the escort.
You took the imperial courts captive from them?
You did my job already?!
No, I would never do sothing so tasteless. I hate nothing more than the crude thing known as violence. My vast network of friends helped .
Your network is vast enough to even handle sothing of that magnitude? Emperors Entourage, Emperors Entourage, you call yourselves His Majestys last line of defence, yet soone managed to rescue a prisoner from your very hands.
I would never dare to befriend Emperors Entourages agents. However, I had so friends among the escort. A little bit of manipulation was all it took to force the transport escort to go where I wanted it to.
I finally knew why Tie Hanyi was looking for urgently. Emperors Entourage needed Liu Shan ns help in finding out who attacked their escort. Since they most definitely heard about Boss sour mood following Shen Kuangs placing and heard about my promotion, they ca to , who was now basically second in command at Liu Shan n.
What brings you to , then, Brother Feng?
Haha, there you go asking the obvious again, Brother Ming. As I have stressed, I seek friends. The more friends one has, the more options he has. He clapped his hands, prompting soone to bring up a big brocade box.
While the box was square, thin and flat, its dinsions were generous. Another man opened the box, took out a scroll and slowly unrolled it for my viewing. As the painter used the Western Regions thod of painting, which was trying to replicate the real version as close as possible, it was basically a painting of that hadnt been coloured in yet.
Elise painted ?
Who is this? I took the painting to scrutinise, turning it portrait, landscape, upside down, and diagonal. Brother Feng, Im confused now.
Feng Jiutian smiled as he continued looking at as if hed been constipated for days. Brother Ming, let us not beat around the bush. You and her are acquainted. He blinked a few tis, then added, Or perhaps, forr lovers.
I set down the painting and firmly replied, Brother, there are so things that should not be joked about. She is a wanted criminal. Your brother here is Official Ming of Liu Shan n, a constable whose job is to arrest criminals, not court criminals. No matter how pretty she may be, you think I would harbour feelings for her?
So this painting
Just a painting. Is it my fault she has a crush on ? Is being handso a violation of the law? Dont make a mistake thats so easily avoidable.
Feng Jiutian spent a while studying , then finally nodded. In that case there is no point keeping her alive. Lets just execute her.
Impulsiveness is the witch.
It is the demon.
The witch cos first, or who would give birth to the demon? She drew , right? That proves she has strong feelings for . You see, as n, we should cherish won and be considerate towards them. You want to pluck a flower when it blooms for the most beautiful flower, right? Every grain of rice is hard work, right? Since she had the thought, j-j-just leave it to .
Feng Jiutian smiled smugly. You have finally admitted to it, Brother Ming, hahaha. As he fanned himself, he continued, Ever since I found the painting, I knew she was special. Since you are interested in her and we are friends, she is all yours.
I finally stopped shovelling food into my mouth and looked at Feng Jiutian in a manner I had never before. I couldve smooched his food and stuff without batting an eye. Of course, if he pulled out receipts on , then I had to acknowledge it, but he wouldnt have demanded repaynts for any of those things. However, letting rescue Elise wasnt sothing I could just pretend didnt happen.
Brother Shanshan, I cant just accept your good will for nothing. Whatever it is you need help with, how about telling your brother about it?
I appreciate it, Big Bro.
It was my first ti seeing Feng Jiutian wear a serious look although he was still smiling. This ti, I saw his work mode.
I want you to bring soone to .
Glossary
Yizhen Alliance and Yizhen Dream Another homophone joke. The pronunciations, except for the last character in Chinese, are identical. Its another one of those situations where you mistake a character for another because you dont have context.
