Chapter 168: The Art of Finishing ng Liang (V)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Quickly, or else it’ll really fly away.” Qiguan Rang tapped his feather fan against his knee. His expression was solemn, as though he was pondering over sothing severe. “If ng Hun really goes for ng Liang tonight, what are your plans?”
Or rather, what excuse was Jiang Pengji going to co up with in front of ng Hun so as to not rouse any suspicions?
Jiang Pengji was prepared. “ng Hun knows about ng Liang’s whereabouts. From his point of view, ng Liang, and our relationship, are sowhat strained. Even so, I will use the excuse, ‘My cousin is unruly and has snuck out on her own. She has not returned and the Liu’s are worried, so they sent people out to look for her and coincidentally t ng Hun and his people.’ How’s that?”
She had used the excuse that she was trying to save ng Hun, but in actual fact she was trying to capture him. That way, no one would suspect anything.
When Qiguan Rang heard that, he pursed his lips.
Sotis he could not help but admire Jiang Pengji’s shalessness. He also felt a bit of pity for ng Liang. The person before him was taking advantage of him––and not just once. They were thoroughly squeezing him dry of his usefulness.
“Tonight is when the show will start. Wenzheng, do you wanna join in and watch? I’ll save the best spot for you,” Jiang Pengji said.
“It’s all right. An old body like mine would not be able to take the excitent,” Qiguan Rang rejected emotionlessly.
He would much rather have peace and quiet over any sort of danger or excitent.
“That’s a pity,” Jiang Pengji said as she brought the teacup to her lips. She then quietly told the System, “It’s about ti. You can start the half interaction stream. Put up the title, ‘The Art of Finishing ng Liang.’”
Jiang Pengji and the System’s interaction was stiff and awkward, but they still had to tolerate each other since they were stuck together. She was on guard against the System and watched its every move like a hawk. She wanted to ensure that she had control over the stream.
The System had wanted to throw a tantrum, but its main job was to stream. If Jiang Pengji stopped streaming, its losses would be devastating. If it had beef with her, that was okay, but it could not bear to lose any points.
That was why when Jiang Pengji said she wanted to start the half-interaction streaming mode, it quickly reacted and started the stream. The mont the channel was open, thousands of viewers poured in and started spamming her.
Chun Lie: “I was so worried! I waited so long yesterday and the host did not stream anything. I thought there won’t be any more streams...”
Ayan: “Worried 1. I ca over yesterday and waited, but the host didn’t start streaming. I thought sothing happened and that was why she couldn’t co online.”
Dashu Xiaobing: “Although I was also worried, this channel has such a unique quality. It’s a miracle in itself that she could even stream everyday. Maybe the host got into so situation and could not stream for awhile.”
So viewers expressed their concerns, a few new viewers said their hellos, and the rest of the viewers expressed their shock at the stream’s title.
The Art of Finishing ng Liang.
The channel had a capacity limit and the queue to enter and watch was long. Not everyone could keep up with the stream.
Who was ng Liang? Most of her viewers had no clue who he was.
Xiao Yaojing: “Who’s this ng Liang? Why does she wanna finish him? What did he do?”
Fengqi Tianlan: “Isn’t this channel about so court fight? Why is the punishnt the gallows? I feel like watching this... What’s the thod of this killing? Is it bloody?”
Many of the new viewers expressed their doubts and confusion. There were quite a few old viewers who had followed her stream since she started and they quickly filled the newbies in about ng Liang.
Within a short mont, many who pitied ng Liang said that he deserved to die. Naturally, there were others who disagreed.
Tushuguan Daniang: “ng Liang is obviously in the wrong, but that doesn’t an the host has any right to kill him. He committed a cri and once those deeds of his are out in the open, he will surely be brought to justice. The host’s thod is brutal and she’s giving double standards!”
There were quite a few viewers who voiced similar opinions. She was not a law enforcer. Why was she taking matters into her own hands?
Jiang Pengji ignored the viewers, as she was not interested in explaining or rebutting them. It was not that she could not win them––it was because she did not want to argue with a bunch of fools.
When had she ntioned that she was the good guy? Had she ever said that she was justice personified? What did enacting justice got to do with her?
Killing ng Liang was purely because he pissed her off and was an obstacle in her path. She was killing him for her own personal gain. Helping to rid the world of a public nace was re coincidence.
In the current era where people of higher social status could shirk responsibilities and where the law was not fair to the common folk, even if ng Liang were to go overboard with his actions, he might still get away. As long as the ng’s were able to push the cri away, who would punish ng Liang––much less want his life?
Zhende Jiangshan Ruhua: “This host doesn’t have any worldly views. If you’re here for morals and ethics, you’re in the wrong place.”
Jiang Pengji put up her mission but did not seem like she was planning to do it. She started practicing her words and writing, then went to find Qiguan Rang to analyze the current situation and listen to his opinions.
Host V: “The main dish starts tonight. We’ll kill when it’s dark. Right now is just credits.”
Zhende Jiangshan Ruhua: “Aweso. What a long credit scene. I only want the main dish.”
Ayan: “Main dish 1.”
Chun Lie: “Main dish 2.”
No matter how many of her viewers begged to watch the “main dish,” Jiang Pengji did not budge.
Not long after, night fell.
Jiang Pengji turned off her stream for a mont and changed into a black outfit suited for sneaking around in the dark. She pulled on a black cloth and tied it around her face.
“Sir, are you sure the news is true? Didn’t you say that little bastard is in the Liu residence?” The one who said that sounded afraid. He was, though. He was worried that it was a trap set by ng Liang.
“ng Liang has been hiding in the Liu residence and we could not do anything.” A flash of anger could be seen in ng Hun’s eyes. “Regardless if this is true or not, we still have to go and take a look. If we miss this opportunity, we may not have another chance to kill him.”
“But sir, what if this is a trap?”
“Is ng Liang even that smart?” ng Hun snorted.
Everyone: “...”
Oh, yeah. How could an idiot co up with an ambush attack?
