“In summary, your hints led you here. Your second brother and Captain Song are detained here.”
“Yeah, man. I thought I heard his voice when we first ca in; however, I found this side more suspicious. Since we haven’t found him after two days, he should be held underground on the other end. I suppose it wouldn’t make sense for people to enter Luo Ming’s secret chamber.”
There was no need to hide my goal after confiding a whole bunch of other stuff, especially in lieu of the potential ramifications. To specify, I told her everything that happened since leaving the capital while we headed to the other end. I already gave her reports on the sa topic before, but this was the most detailed version.
Shen Yiren, showing excellent mory, asked for verification on details I previously ntioned. I couldn’t rember so of the flavouring I sprinkled in there, yet she rembered all of it.
“I was wondering how Zha Pi could suddenly stomp people as Reverend Zha. Poison King and River Monster took off with right when you found ?”
“Yeah, man. I lost it; I nearly went after Abels. Had you not had the scent on you, I’d probably have gathered up n and razed Luo Sword Manor to the ground already.”
Unable to tolerate my speech style, Shen Yiren slapped over the head: “How many n you have? Why didn’t you rescue if you already found ?”
“What do you an I didn’t rescue you?! You wouldn’t be here if I didn’t!”
“I only have a mory of soone forcing a kiss on when I ca to.”
“That happened? That hero is brave. This old one adm-”
“Shut up!” Shen Yiren punched in the do this ti. “Still not going to honestly explain why you kissed ?”
“To save you! You told you don’t mind it anymore after you pieced up! You just went back on your word!”
“Was everything you told then the truth?”
“Uh…”
“I honestly don’t know how many hundreds of lies you’ve told since day one, so I need to question you. Furthermore, why would you need to stick your tongue in soone’s mouth to save them?”
The ceiling is nice.
“Hey, answer the question.” Shen Yiren pretended to be angry.
I didn’t plan to lie. Thing is, she clearly wasn’t as nonchalant about it as she let on.
“Oi… Did you just take advantage of the situation?”
“Hell no!” I waved my hands frantically. “Indeed, I didn’t need to kiss you to cure your fake death condition… I was worried you’d find out about , though. I knew you had your awareness, so I had to mislead you, and there weren’t many options to choose from in that situation. You have no idea how much I wrestled with myself when I chose tongue warfare.”
“Must’ve been hard on you.”
“Just double my salary and triple my ti off. Thank you in advance.”
“You can thank after I knock your socks off!” Shen Yiren curled her lips. “I’ll pardon you this once. Next ti, you’ll be three legs less.”
See? Boss is nice to .
“By the way, the reason I left the last few days was to find two people…” I went ahead and filled Boss in on how I assisted Mountain Monster and River Monster.
“No wonder why you arrived late and happened to arrive right when Four Seasons Formation was dismantled.” Shen Yiren nodded a few tis and then looked away from .
“Stop giving that look! I beat it!”
Why are you still not convinced that I’m not weak?!
“Okay, okay, you beat it. If you were born tens of thousands of years earlier, you would’ve created the world and put Pangu out of a job.”
You’re just taking a dump on !
Shen Yiren took out a sheet of paper from her shirt: “I found this in one of the rooms but never had ti to ntion it while we were looking for an escape route.”
“This is…?”
“So notes pertaining to Luo Ming’s Refining Divine Convention.”
We didn’t know who the alliance letter was for. Nevertheless, there was no question they were integral to Refining Divine Convention, and it ended with, “This one will never forget the favour. This letter is proof.” Proof ant that Luo Ming’s conspirators could pass the letter on to the imperial court or personally publicise it if he ever betrayed them.
Who could be worth Luo Ming staking his future like this, and how many people alive are even fit to help him?
“Let’s keep the letter for now,” suggested Shen Yiren. “As for whom his conspirators are, we can worry about that later.”
I tucked the letter away.
“Based off what you told , we aren’t on Dragonroot Island, correct? How did you bring here?”
“I… sealed your accupoints.”
“I can imagine. How did you find this island?”
“I’ll introduce my comrade, Wugufengdeng, to you later.”
“Pfft, what sort of na is that?”
“One befitting a rat.”

“It appears the finalists have been decided.” By the ti Luo Siming arrived on the scene, there was hardly anyone standing after Yu Feiyuan unleashed her sword, much to his surprise. “You have all had two tough days. Everyone here is going into the finals. Please follow this one.”
