Chapter 931: A Black Bear

Editor: Henyee Translations

Mu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Hong Feiyun. “I came to find you. Did Left Emissary give you a hard time?”

Hong Feiyun replied, “No, I promised to help him find someone to cure his son. As long as his son is healed, he will let bygones be bygones.”

Mu Xiao expressed his concern, “Where will you find someone? Let me go with you.”

Hong Feiyun declined, “No need, I should go alone. I cannot delay your affairs.”

Mu Xiao felt a warmth in his heart, knowing only Feiyun would always think of him first, “It’s no trouble, I’ve already arranged my matters.”

Behind them, Hong Feiyu landed, spotting them standing close together, she couldn’t hide her jealousy, “Talking about finding someone? I didn’t expect you to be here for a secret rendezvous!”

Hong Feiyun thought to herself, if Hong Feiyu couldn’t see reason, she might have to eliminate her, “Feiyu, you’re mistaken, there’s nothing between us.”

Hong Feiyu’s eyes reddened as she looked at them, her face full of hurt, “What misunderstanding? I see everything clearly. Sister, you really broke my heart.”

Hong Feiyun was speechless, “He followed me here on his own. I didn’t ask him to come, and as you see, we were only talking.”

Hong Feiyu, visibly hurt, retorted, “Clearly you came here for a date. You even said you’d leave him to me, are you trying to humiliate me?”

“I swear to heaven, I truly meant it.” Hong Feiyun pushed Mu Xiao towards Hong Feiyu, “You two love each other, go ahead.”

After saying that, Hong Feiyun swiftly flew away, finding love-struck women too frightening.

Mu Xiao cared about Hong Feiyun. After steadying himself, he immediately chased after her, “Feiyun, wait for me.”

Hong Feiyu stomped her foot, watching them leave, her teeth clenched in anger, “You hurt me so, I will not let you go.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her love turned into hatred.

Seeing Mu Xiao persistently following, Hong Feiyun had no choice but to stop, “What do you really want?”

Mu Xiao’s gaze was fixed on Hong Feiyun, almost losing her once before, he wouldn’t be careless this time, “I will go with you to find the person.”

Hong Feiyun said, “I want to go alone.”

Mu Xiao insisted, “I can’t rest easy.”

Annoyed by his persistence, Hong Feiyun swiftly moved behind Mu Xiao, knocking him out cold, and tossed him aside, “So annoying! Where’s your reason?”

Zeng Huo returned, finding Mu Xiao unconscious, his heart skipping a beat, “What did you do?”

Hong Feiyun glanced at Mu Xiao, “He was pestering me, so I knocked him out.”

Zeng Huo, “…”

He handed peanut candy to Hong Feiyun, asking cautiously, “Is this enough? Shall I buy more tomorrow?”

“It’s enough.” Hong Feiyun tossed a peanut candy into her mouth, chewing the familiar taste, “Let’s go.”

Zeng Huo paused, “Where to?”

“To find someone.” Hong Feiyun flew off to one side.

Zeng Huo hurried after her, leaving with a sympathetic glance at Mu Xiao, “Ah, better not pester Hong Feiyun anymore, or you’re just asking for trouble.”

…

Du Zhaolin lifted the curtain of the carriage, speaking to the coachman, “Why haven’t we arrived yet?”

The coachman, not daring to offend Du Zhaolin, hurriedly replied, “Soon, just a stick of incense more.”

“A stick of incense more, do you even know how to drive a carriage?” Du Zhaolin, impatient, snatched the whip and lashed it across the horse’s back.

The horse, in pain, bolted suddenly, terrifying Du Zhaolin, his body repeatedly hitting against the carriage, tears welling in his eyes from the unexpected tumult.

Inside, the passengers were tossed about chaotically, screams continuously erupting.

Jiang Zhanglin wished he could kill Du Zhaolin right there, dying before achieving his revenge, unwilling to accept this fate!

His only thought as they plunged into darkness was hoping someone would come to their rescue.

Time seemed to stretch on forever until the carriage finally came to a stop, its passengers slowly regaining consciousness, each sporting bumps on their heads, bodies bruised all over, utterly disheveled.

Yi Chuanchuan kicked Du Zhaolin, “Are you trying to get us killed? If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”

Du Zhaolin dared not retaliate, truly feeling like he was on the brink of death, “I-I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Nearly dying young, Yi Chuanchuan was furious, “You fool, all you know is to eat, drink, and be merry, what good are you? Always causing more trouble than you’re worth!”

Jiang Zhanglin climbed out of the carriage with difficulty, “What exactly did you do outside?”

Du Zhaolin shrank his neck, “I just whipped the horse, didn’t expect this to happen.”

Jiang Zhanglin had nothing to say in his defense, “You really are a fool, no words for you!”

Rong Shenning jumped down from the carriage, then simply sat on the ground to rub his foot, “You almost killed us, why did you have to whip the horse? If you wanted to go faster, you should have just asked the coachman!”

Looking around, he asked, “Where’s the coachman?”

Du Zhaolin weakly responded, “When the carriage lost control, the coachman jumped off.”

Jiang Zhanglin’s mouth twitched, “Really foresighted of him.”

Yi Chuanchuan looked around the dense forest, feeling increasingly uneasy, then broke the ongoing chatter, “Where are we now?”

“I’ll go up to the peak to check. Wait here for me.” Jiang Zhanglin went back to the carriage to retrieve a map, then headed towards the mountain peak.

“Only by knowing where we are can we figure out which way to go.”

“I’ll go with you.” Yi Chuanchuan trusted Jiang Zhanglin the most, and also didn’t want to stay with the disaster-prone Du Zhaolin; she would inevitably end up wanting to hit him.

The two climbed towards the peak together.

Yi Chuanchuan suddenly stopped Jiang Zhanglin, “Be quiet, there’s a bear ahead.”

Jiang Zhanglin tensed up, “How could there be a bear?”

Yi Chuanchuan gestured for him to crouch down, and both slowly squatted, hiding in the bushes, avoiding the bear’s sight.

A slight oversight and they would end up as bear food. Jiang Zhanglin’s sweat dripped down, whispering, “What do we do now?”

Yi Chuanchuan whispered back, “Don’t panic, wait a bit, the bear might leave on its own.”

Jiang Zhanglin was nervous; this was his first time seeing such a large animal up close, the sight alone was oppressive.

At that moment, Rong Shenning arrived, asking loudly, “What are you guys hiding here for?”

His shout scared Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan out of their wits.

Then, heavy footsteps approached—no need to ask, it was the black bear they had seen earlier.

Jiang Zhanglin reacted quickly, grabbing Yi Chuanchuan and running towards Rong Shenning, then the three of them sprinted up the mountain together.

Chapter 932: Drawing Salary for Nothing Editor: Henyee Translations

Rong Shenning was initially confused and turned around to look, only to be terrified out of his wits at the sight of a black bear. “There’s a black bear! Why didn’t you say anything?”

Yi Chuanchuan cursed loudly, “Did we even have a chance to tell you? You started screaming the moment you arrived. Everything was fine until you forced us to flee. Even if the bear eats you, it’s only what you deserve!”

The black bear trotted behind them, occasionally letting out a terrifying roar.

The three ran desperately, but climbing a mountain was truly exhausting. With a black bear on their heels, they soon ran out of steam.

Yi Chuanchuan looked back at the bear only five or six meters away and screamed, “Help!”

Jiang Zhanglin suddenly said, “Aren’t you skilled in martial arts?”

Yi Chuanchuan replied, “I am, but I don’t have a weapon.”

Jiang Zhanglin asked, “Where’s your weapon?”

Yi Chuanchuan helplessly said, “It’s on the carriage. I don’t often resort to physical confrontation, so I don’t usually carry my weapon with me, that’s why I didn’t have it just now.”

Picking up a stone, Yi Chuanchuan turned and threw it at the bear, “Stop chasing us!”

The stone hit the bear’s head, causing it pain that, far from slowing it down, only made it speed up in anger, cementing the grudge.

Yi Chuanchuan screamed, “Ahhh!”

Rong Shenning cried out in panic, “Run faster, the bear is catching up!”

Jiang Zhanglin, being more of a scholar, gradually fell behind due to exhaustion. “I thought I was going to survive this, but I’ve encountered an even greater danger. If I get killed by the bear, don’t tell people I died like this. Say I fell off a cliff, at least leave me some dignity.”

Yi Chuanchuan stopped and ran back a step, pulling Jiang Zhanglin along, “If we die, we die together!”

Adversity shows true friendship. Jiang Zhanglin was surprised that Yi Chuanchuan came back for him. “No need, solving the problem with one death is enough.”

He broke free from Yi Chuanchuan’s grip, unable to run any further.

Yi Chuanchuan dragged Jiang Zhanglin upwards, “Don’t give up until the last moment.”

At that moment, Rong Shenning, who had been leading, ran back to help Yi Chuanchuan pull Jiang Zhanglin.

Yi Chuanchuan was shocked, “Why did you come back?”

Rong Shenning replied irritably, “Should I have just watched you get eaten?”

The three continued to run for a while longer, but now the bear was only a meter away.

Suddenly, Jiang Zhanglin’s ankle was grabbed by the bear, and he was pulled backward. Yi Chuanchuan and Rong Shenning, caught off guard, leaned back, almost rolling down the slope. Fortunately, they grabbed a nearby tree, preventing them from falling down the mountain.

Rong Shenning yelled, “Help! Help!”

Just then, an arrow shot through the air, hitting the bear right in the head. The pain caused the bear to let go of Jiang Zhanglin’s ankle.

Yi Chuanchuan looked around gratefully, “Who? Who shot that arrow?”

There was no response.

Rong Shenning suddenly relaxed, “It must be the shadow guard sent by General Tang to protect us, don’t worry.”

Yi Chuanchuan, still frightened, said, “Why didn’t they come out sooner?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Probably had some orders,” Jiang Zhanglin reasoned, realizing the underlying cause. If they knew someone was secretly protecting them, they wouldn’t have seen their true character.

Another arrow flew, hitting the bear in the heart. The bear slowly lost its strength and rolled down the mountain.

Hearing the commotion, Du Zhaolin, sword in hand, followed up the trail. Unexpectedly, the rolling bear came his way, and he had to quickly dodge to avoid being carried down with it.

“Are you all okay?” Du Zhaolin shouted up the mountain.

Rong Shenning replied, “We’re fine.”

Du Zhaolin breathed a sigh of relief, “Good, good…” He slowly climbed towards the peak.

After the bear chase, the three had already climbed halfway up the mountain and were now sitting there resting, completely drained.

Du Zhaolin joined them, sitting beside them, “That was close!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It was close,” Yi Chuanchuan took his sword in hand, pointing at the bear, “Let’s take that bear and sell it, have a good meal for once!”

Du Zhaolin rarely agreed with Yi Chuanchuan, “Can a bear fetch a good price?”

Rong Shenning nodded, “Yes, at least several dozen taels.”

They discussed the bear for a while, then, feeling somewhat recovered, they began to climb toward the peak.

Climbing with difficulty to the top, Jiang Zhanglin pulled out the map from his clothes and compared it with the surrounding landscape to ascertain their location.

Fortunately, luck was on their side. Descending from the other side of the peak would take them to the first village of the trading city.

The first village was known as the wealthiest village around the county town. Observing this village would give a good indication of the state of the other villages, though not absolutely.

Jiang Zhanglin looked at his companions, “Can you make it down the mountain?”

Ads by Pubfuture

“Why don’t we split up?” Rong Shenning suggested tentatively. “You go to the village, and Du Zhaolin and I will take the bear to the county town to sell it. We’ll come to find you afterward.”

Jiang Zhanglin’s mouth twitched. How much did Du Zhaolin love money?

Yi Chuanchuan said, “Why not agree? Leaving the bear there might be a waste if someone else takes it or if it attracts other animals.”

After some thought, Jiang Zhanglin felt that there wasn’t much use for them all sticking together. Splitting up might be better, “Go ahead, handle the bear properly, and come find us immediately afterward. We’ll wait for you in the first village.”

“Okay.”

Du Zhaolin and Rong Shenning happily went their way to deal with the bear, more thrilled by the prospect of selling it than checking out the village.

Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan exchanged a glance and began to descend the other side of the peak.

As Yi Chuanchuan observed the village, he suddenly stopped, “Zhanglin, something doesn’t seem right.”

Jiang Zhanglin also noticed, “At this time, villagers should be working in the fields. Why is there no one around? Could it be another deserted village?”

“Let’s be careful,” Yi Chuanchuan said. “The moment something feels off, we get out of here.”

Jiang Zhanglin nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

…

Du Zhaolin and Rong Shenning carried the bear to the cart and then moved forward, leading the horse towards the county town on foot, not daring to ride the cart.

They weren’t far from the county town and arrived after a short journey.

Standing at the gate of the county town, they looked at the weathered walls and the decrepit gate, Rong Shenning remarked, “Is this the county town?”

Du Zhaolin was equally incredulous, “This is my first time seeing such a rundown county town. Let’s go in and see.”

At the gate, two listless guards didn’t even bother with a routine check, merely standing there, letting people pass through at will.

Du Zhaolin and Rong Shenning led the horse and cart through the city gate, glancing at the guards who seemed to be sleeping standing up.

How could the administration of this county town be so lax?

What was the county magistrate doing?

It was as if he was drawing a salary for nothing!

Chapter 933: The Strange Village Editor: Henyee Translations

Unexpectedly, one day, Du Zhaolin and Rong Shenning found themselves criticizing officials for being lax and incompetent.

Inside the county town, the streets were empty with only a few pedestrians passing by. Most of the shops were closed, and under the eaves hung tattered lanterns that swayed gently with the breeze, like the final years of an old man.

Du Zhaolin clenched the dice in his hand and nudged Rong Shenning, speaking nervously, “Shenning, something’s very off about this county town.”

A cold wind blew past, causing Rong Shenning to shrink his neck, “I feel it too. Let’s sell the bear quickly and leave.”

The eeriness of the town was unsettling.

Du Zhaolin, wary, looked around and nodded, “Let’s move quickly.”

They hastened their steps.

“There’s a tavern over there!” Rong Shenning pointed ahead. Before he could finish his sentence, he was disappointed to see the tavern was closed, the doorway piled with dried leaves that spun in the wind, utterly desolate.

They continued on, passing two more closed taverns until they finally found one that was open.

They hurried forward to inquire.

For the first time, Rong Shenning was this polite to someone, “Shopkeeper, we have a freshly killed bear, selling cheap. Would you like to buy it?”

The shopkeeper shooed them away like flies, “I see you’re here to cause trouble. I have no business here, and you come to sell a bear? Are you trying to mess with me?”

Had this happened in the capital, two spoiled young masters would have already ordered someone to smash the shop. Rong Shenning took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort brought by the discrepancy, “We’re not here to cause trouble, we genuinely want to sell the bear. If you don’t believe us, you can take a look.”

The shopkeeper paused, then seemed to remember something, “Let me see then.”

Rong Shenning led the shopkeeper outside, “The bear is in the cart, shot dead with arrows, very intact.”

After seeing the black bear, the shopkeeper sighed regretfully, “If it were during my tavern’s peak times, buying a bear like this would be nothing, but now, I’m struggling even to feed myself.”

Du Zhaolin squeezed the dice, “Hearing what the shopkeeper said, the county town wasn’t always like this. What happened to it?”

The shopkeeper became frightened, “Don’t ask too much. It could bring you fatal trouble. You better leave quickly.”

Du Zhaolin, not satisfied, “Shopkeeper…”

“If you really want to sell the black bear, try Luo’s residence,” the shopkeeper suggested, directing them, “Go straight down this street, turn right, then left, and you’ll see Luo’s residence.”

Resigned, Du Zhaolin said to Rong Shenning, “Let’s try our luck there.”

The two exchanged glances, grabbed the cart, and followed the shopkeeper’s directions, successfully finding Luo’s residence.

Other residences had their doors tightly shut, looking uninhabited, except for Luo’s residence, which stood out with two large stone lions at the entrance and two guards standing watch, its gates wide open.

The gatekeeper approached as they pulled their cart over, “What are you here for?”

Rong Shenning confidently said, “We’re here to sell a black bear.”

The gatekeeper gave them a strange look, “Hold on a moment, I’ll notify the household.”

As Rong Shenning and Du Zhaolin waited, their unease grew, but having come this far, they decided to see if they could gather any information.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With that thought, Rong Shenning glanced inside the estate, and what he saw terrified him.

He quickly pulled Du Zhaolin aside, “The entire estate is planted with poppies.”

“No, really?” Du Zhaolin reflexively looked inside the estate, but Rong Shenning quickly turned his head back, “I saw it with my own eyes, there’s no mistake.”

Rong Shenning anxiously asked, “What should we do now?”

“Let’s get out of here…” This place was the territory of the Yun organization; if they didn’t leave, they might be in deep trouble.

Nervously, they turned the cart around to head back.

Just then, the butler came out from the residence, “Where are you going?”

Rong Shenning quickly made up an excuse, “We need to relieve ourselves.”

The butler smiled amiably, like a kidnapper luring children, “If you need a restroom, there’s one in the residence, feel free to use it.”

Du Zhaolin waved his hands, awkwardly smiling, “No need, we’ll just find a spot elsewhere, sorry to disturb.”

The butler remained unfazed, “Don’t be shy, you are our guests, please come in.” As he spoke, a group of men in black emerged from inside the residence.

Du Zhaolin and Rong Shenning clung together, Du Zhaolin nervously asked, “What does this mean, Butler?”

The butler still maintained his smile, now resembling a kindly next-door neighbor, “It means we’re inviting you gentlemen to come inside as guests.”

Throwing caution to the wind, Du Zhaolin spoke rapidly, “What guests? We’re here to sell a black bear, if you like it, take it for a good price; if not, we’ll look elsewhere for buyers.”

The butler looked slightly bewildered, as if he had misunderstood, “You’re really here to sell a black bear?”

Du Zhaolin responded, “What else?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Rong Shenning lifted the cart’s curtain, “This is the black bear we killed, still warm. Do you want it?”

The butler relaxed, apparently having thought they were spies, “Fifty taels of silver, do you agree?”

Du Zhaolin quickly nodded, “Yes, that works, we just want to have a good meal.”

The butler had his servants bring the silver, “Young masters, here you are.”

Du Zhaolin eagerly accepted the silver, his heart pounding, “Thank you for your patronage, Butler.”

With a wave of his hand, the butler said, “No thanks needed. Men, move the black bear.”

“Yes.” The black bear was easily moved to the ground by the men in black, and shortly after, Rong Shenning and Du Zhaolin hurriedly left.

The butler watched them go, his expression grave and contemplative.

…

In the village.

Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan cautiously approached the entrance of the first village. The village was eerily quiet, with every household’s door shut as if deserted.

The two stood at the village entrance, looking around…

Yi Chuanchuan patted Jiang Zhanglin’s arm, peeking into the village, “Zhanglin, you’re smarter than I am. This village doesn’t seem uninhabited, yet there’s no one cooking even at noon. Don’t you find that strange?”

“There’s only one explanation for such a phenomenon,” Jiang Zhanglin stared at the village, “The villagers must have gone somewhere else.”

Yi Chuanchuan found it odd, “What could possibly require the entire village’s population to leave, not even leaving someone to watch the homes?”

Jiang Zhanglin shook his head, unable to guess, “Whatever it is, it must be something significant.”

As they were talking, a noise approached, and they quickly found a place to hide.

A group of villagers appeared in the distance, each carrying scythes and hoes, looking exhausted as if they had been laboring all morning.

Although they now knew what the villagers had been doing, the situation still felt off.

They knew even without having lived in the village that usually the elderly and children wouldn’t need to work, yet here, everyone had gone, leaving not even a dog behind. This was too strange.

After returning to the village, the villagers each went to their homes to start fires and prepare lunch.

Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan emerged from the haystacks and entered the village, pretending to ask for directions.

The villagers, seeing them, became very panicked.

The village chief approached them and pushed them outwards, “Don’t say anything and leave quickly, otherwise when they arrive, you won’t be able to leave.”

Jiang Zhanglin hurriedly asked, “Old sir, who are ‘they’ that you’re talking about?”

“Where did you just come from?”

“You tell us what the problem is, and we’ll leave right away.”

The village chief, distressed, said, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there’s no time. Please, just go. If you really must ask us something, come back at night. Don’t appear during the day. Go now.”

Seeing the village chief almost in tears, Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan suppressed their curiosity and quickly retreated to the woods.

Jiang Zhanglin placed his hand on Yi Chuanchuan’s shoulder, “Don’t make any noise. Let’s see what’s actually happening.”

Yi Chuanchuan nodded, “Okay.”

Once the village chief saw they were no longer visible, he sighed with relief and returned home, muttering to himself that this place was hell and hoping no one else would come.

About an hour later, a group of people dressed in black riding horses came along, ringing a gong, “Time to work, time to work…”

All the villagers came out of their houses, lined up, and then followed the men in black out of the village.

Yi Chuanchuan wanted to follow, but Jiang Zhanglin held his wrist, “We’ll stay here and wait. Let’s find out what’s going on tonight before we act.”

Yi Chuanchuan thought for a moment, his mind not as sharp as Jiang Zhanglin’s, and agreed, “Okay.”

The two hid again.

After a while, Yi Chuanchuan frowned deeply, “Why haven’t Rong Shenning and Du Zhaolin come to find us? It’s been two hours.”

Jiang Zhanglin guessed, “Don’t worry, knowing their personalities, they’ve probably gone to a gambling den.”

Yi Chuanchuan realized, “Right, Du Zhaolin’s hands itch so badly he could almost eat them; running into a gambling place, he couldn’t resist!”

The two stopped worrying about them and waited patiently.

…

Disguised as Hong Feiyun, Zeng Huo entered a room to report, “Lord of the Left, the expert has been brought back.”

Left Emissary instantly looked up, “Bring him in.”

Hong Feiyun responded, “Yes.” She then went out and brought in a pale young man disguised as Chu Qingzhi.

Left Emissary saw the young man’s youthful appearance, and his expression changed instantly, “Hong Hall Master, are you mocking me?”

His voice spread, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply, reverting back to the bitter cold of winter.

Under pressure, Hong Feiyun quickly said, “Lord of the Left, this is Young Master Chu Tang, whose medical skills are unmatched. He will surely heal your son’s leg.”

Left Emissary’s voice was chilling, “And if he doesn’t?”

Hong Feiyun declared firmly, “Then you may dispose of me as you wish!”

Ads by Pubfuture

Left Emissary glanced at Hong Feiyun, “You said it.” He stood up and approached Chu Tang, “Young Master, please come with me.”

Chu Tang bowed slightly, “After you.”

Following Left Emissary, Chu Tang was led to a serene and beautiful bamboo courtyard, “My son is in this house, please go in and treat him.”

Having been disappointed by many doctors before, Left Emissary couldn’t bear to hear another failure.

“Understood.” Chu Tang entered the house, which was simply yet comfortably furnished, tinged with the scent of medicine, slightly bitter.

Left Emissary’s son, Tao Qingxiang, 25 years old, had been paralyzed for ten years.

Inside the house, Tao Qingxiang was practicing calligraphy, surrounded by many of his own writings.

He looked up at Chu Tang, “I don’t need treatment, please leave.”

His voice was firm, containing suppressed irritability. Chu Tang sensed he was on the verge of exploding.

Chu Tang glanced at the calligraphy on the desk, “Heaven tasks great responsibility to such a person; first, it exercises his mind with suffering…” “What if I said I can cure you, would you still send me away?”

Tao Qingxiang didn’t believe a word, “You haven’t even taken my pulse or looked at my leg, and you say you can cure me? That’s too confident for someone as young as you, and younger than me. How can you treat me?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Tang replied calmly, “Does treating depend on age? Some older doctors are not necessarily better than the younger ones.”

Tao Qingxiang was at a loss for words. “Alright, anyway, I don’t need you. Please leave.”

Chu Tang crossed his arms, persistent, “I can truly heal your leg. Why don’t you give it a try? After so many attempts, one more won’t hurt, right?”

Tao Qingxiang, frustrated, snapped a brush in half, “Must you insist on reopening my wounds?”

Chu Tang replied evenly, “I’m here to heal you.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Tao Qingxiang tossed the broken brush aside, creating a clatter, “Fine, try then. I want to see how you’ll cure me.”

Chu Tang took Tao Qingxiang’s pulse, then pressed on his leg, where the meridians had been forcibly severed, “Who did this?”

Tao Qingxiang hesitated, then responded, “It’s been too long. I don’t remember.”

Chu Tang countered, “Such incidents are usually remembered for a lifetime, aren’t they?”

Tao Qingxiang fell silent, his gaze dropping as he seemed to delve into painful memories.

Chu Tang continued, “I can heal your leg, but it will involve acupuncture now, and after seven days, I’ll reconnect the severed meridians.”

Tao Qingxiang was stunned. “Did I hear you right? You’re saying you can reconnect meridians?”

He could hardly believe it, “Are you joking with me?”

Chu Tang spread his hands, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Tao Qingxiang clenched his fists, staring at Chu Tang, “How can severed meridians possibly be reconnected?”

Chu Tang stated confidently, “Others may not be able to, but I can. It’s up to you whether you believe me or not.”

Tao Qingxiang swallowed hard, his voice a mix of nervousness and anticipation, “Are you sure?”

Chu Tang affirmed, “Absolutely.”

Tao Qingxiang trembled slightly with excitement; the possibility of his leg being healed was overwhelming. “Then, let’s try it.”

Chu Tang nodded, “I’ll prepare everything and start the acupuncture shortly.”

Tao Qingxiang stopped him, “What do you need to prepare? I have all sorts of medical tools here, pick whatever you need.”

Chu Tang was curious, “Show me.”

Tao Qingxiang rolled his wheelchair towards a wall and tapped the armrest three times. A door in the wall swung open, revealing a secret room stocked with various medical instruments.

Chu Tang looked around, “You’ve collected all these medical tools?”

Tao Qingxiang nodded, “Yes.”

“Are you a doctor?” Chu Tang walked into the room, examining everything.

Tao Qingxiang had regained his composure, “No, but my dream was to become one. These are all part of my passion. The acupuncture needles are on the second shelf in the third row from the left.”

Chu Tang looked towards the designated spot, where indeed, there were silver needles. “You remember so clearly?”

Tao Qingxiang said, “I have a good memory, and I personally placed these items here. Moreover, I check on them every day.”

Chu Tang took the silver needles and said, “Go lie down on the bed. I’ll start acupuncture soon.”

Tao Qingxiang glanced at Chu Tang, maneuvered his wheelchair to the window, and then pressed a mechanism on the wheelchair, transforming it into a reclining chair.

“This chair is quite something,” Chu Tang muttered to himself, appreciating the mechanical craftsmanship he hadn’t considered before.

Tao Qingxiang, despite his skepticism about the young man’s ability to heal his leg, couldn’t help but feel hopeful, “If you cure my leg, I can give you as many of these chairs as you want, along with other things.”

Chu Tang smiled, “Deal.”

He lifted the hem of Tao Qingxiang’s robe to his knee, lit a candle, and heated the needles before starting the acupuncture.

Suddenly, Tao Qingxiang asked, “I’ve had acupuncture before and I usually feel nothing, but why does it hurt a bit with your needles?”

Chu Tang explained, “Pain is a sign that it can be cured. Aren’t you happy about that?”

Tao Qingxiang realized, “There’s pain, my leg can be treated! They all said it was hopeless, those quacks.”

Chu Tang didn’t respond, focusing on the acupuncture.

Left Emissary, unable to stay away any longer, came in and asked, “What are you doing?”

Chu Tang, without looking up, replied, “Acupuncture. Isn’t it obvious?”

Left Emissary, seeing his son’s legs covered with densely packed needles, felt distressed, “Will this make his legs better?”

Chu Tang explained, “No, this is to stimulate the growth of the sinews to facilitate reconnecting them.”

Left Emissary paused, “You can reconnect sinews?”

Chu Tang affirmed, “Yes, if I didn’t have such medical skills, your Hall Master wouldn’t have invited me. Don’t worry.”

Left Emissary, with mixed emotions, said, “I have a question for you, young master.”

Chu Tang prompted, “Please ask.”

Left Emissary offered a tempting proposition, “Can you stay with the Yun Organization? We are willing to offer you a position as an elder.”

Chu Tang naturally couldn’t agree at this point; it was too early and cheap, and he wasn’t planning to join the Yun Organization, lest Zeng Huo would go mad, “Left Emissary, let’s not rush. Let’s talk about this after I heal your son’s legs.”

Left Emissary nodded, the chill in his demeanor dissipating, “What can I do for you?”

Chu Tang looked up, “Do you have a pharmacy here?”

Left Emissary, puzzled, responded, “No.”

“Then send someone to fetch the medicine. Get plenty, I’ll need more tomorrow.” Chu Tang wrote down a prescription, adding some items for his personal use.

Left Emissary glanced at the prescription, “I’ll send someone right away.”

Chu Tang continued with the acupuncture.

After two hours, the session ended, and Chu Tang felt tired, “Is there a room for me?”

“Yes, please follow me.” Left Emissary, delighted that Tao Qingxiang felt pain, personally led him to a neighboring bamboo house, which was elegantly furnished, making it a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay.

Besides a nice place to stay, a series of exquisite dishes were brought in for Chu Tang to enjoy.

Chu Tang looked at the full table of dishes and thought to himself, just feeling a little pain had brought such good treatment; if he cured the man completely, Left Emissary would be overjoyed.

He invited Hong Feiyun to join him for the meal, this fellow who was disguised as a woman and had been shocked to see himself in the mirror; he probably hadn’t recovered from the shock yet.

Hong Feiyun glanced at Chu Tang and sat down to eat heartily.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chu Tang couldn’t help but say, “Sometimes when you can’t resist, it’s better to go with the flow and show your best side.”

Hong Feiyun glared at him, “Can we not talk while eating?”

Chu Tang raised his hands in surrender, “Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”

A maid came in to report, “Young master, the medicine has been bought.”

Chu Tang instructed, “Boil it in a large iron pot for half an hour. Add water if it runs low. Later, let your young master soak in it for the duration of burning an incense stick. Make sure you time it carefully.”

The maid bowed, “Yes, young master.”

Hong Feiyun asked, “What do we do next?”

Understanding what he meant, Chu Tang replied with a suppressed laugh, “I’ll stay here; you continue playing the role of Hong Feiyun.”

Hong Feiyun was on the verge of a breakdown, despairingly saying, “Just kill me.”

Chu Tang responded, “Hang in there; it will be over in a few days.”

Hong Feiyun replied expressionlessly, “I can’t stand it for a moment longer, and you’re asking me to endure for several days? Are you serious?”

After taking a few bites of his meal, Chu Tang finally responded to his complaint, “I’m not joking with you.”

Hong Feiyun, feeling utterly trapped, thought, “Damned cross-dressing!”

…

Under the bright moonlight.

“I’m so hungry,” Yi Chuanchuan complained, sitting cross-legged on the ground, unwilling to move.

Jiang Zhanglin stood up and pulled Yi Chuanchuan to his feet, “Come on, let’s go to the village chief’s house to see if he has any food we can buy.”

Yi Chuanchuan saw a glimmer of hope, “Good idea.”

Cloaked by the night, the two made their way to the village chief’s house. Hearing footsteps, the village chief looked around before opening the door and letting them in, “Keep your voices down, speak softly.”

The village chief, being hospitable, offered them food after learning they hadn’t had dinner yet, “There’s not much at home, but I can make you a bowl of noodles?”

Jiang Zhanglin thanked him politely, “Thank you, elder, but let’s talk about the village first.”

The village chief turned serious, “I’m telling you, knowing about these things could bring you danger. Aren’t you afraid?”

Jiang Zhanglin shook his head, “We’re not afraid, elder, please tell us.”

Admiring their bravery, the village chief said, “Alright, I’ll tell you.”

He recalled, “It started about a year and a half to two years ago when a group of people in black suddenly stormed into our village and took a bunch of people away. Everyone was terrified, and we reported it to the authorities in the county.”

“A few days later, those who were taken were returned, and we withdrew the complaint.”

“Since then, we’ve been living a life of exploitation.”

“You see those people, we don’t know where they come from, but they take the entire village to do one thing – clear the land.”

Jiang Zhanglin was puzzled, “Clear the land?”

The village chief nodded, “Yes, those places are remote but the land is fertile. If not for being so isolated, it would have been cultivated long ago.”

Yi Chuanchuan asked, “Is that all? Just clearing the land?”

The village chief explained, “Just clearing. We go in the morning, come back at noon for lunch, and then go back out in the afternoon. It’s very tough; we’ve been at it for so long, and it’s still not finished.”

Jiang Zhanglin asked, “Do you remember the location?”

The village chief nodded, “Yes, it’s not far from here. If you go northwest, past three small hills, there’s a large valley. That area is very secluded, but the soil is rich – it would have been cultivated long ago if it weren’t so out of the way.”

Yi Chuanchuan inquired further, “Is it just clearing?”

The village chief said, “Just clearing. We go in the morning, come back at noon, eat, and go back out in the afternoon. It’s very difficult. We’ve been clearing for so long, and it’s still not done.”

Jiang Zhanglin asked, “Do you remember the location?”

“Remember, but that place is heavily guarded, and there are many strong fighters. Outsiders who enter and get discovered will meet a gruesome end.”

“Just half a year ago, a man was found by them. They attacked him as a group, and in the end, the man was chopped up and buried in the soil as fertilizer. It was extremely cruel.”

Jiang Zhanglin thought to himself that the man the village chief referred to must have been some kind of spy. Such a dreadful way to die. This Yun Organization must be eliminated; they are too harmful.

“Village chief, could you roughly describe the location?”

The village chief pondered for a moment and said, “Leave the village and go forward. Turn right when you see a pine tree, walk about one mile, and you will come to a three-way junction. Head towards the left front, keep walking, stop at a waterfall. There’s a mechanism there that can block the waterfall. Go through the waterfall to enter a plain, and we are clearing the land there.”

Yi Chuanchuan asked, “You’ve been clearing for a year or two, how large is the plain now?”

The village chief shook his head and said, “Clearing land is not easy. Our village can clear at most one acre per month. We haven’t cleared much in these one or two years, but it still looks quite expansive.”

Jiang Zhanglin said, “Thank you for telling us this, village chief.”

The village chief kindly advised, “You two are incapable of tying up a chicken, don’t act rashly, or you’ll really end up as flower fertilizer.”

Jiang Zhanglin nodded, “We understand. We will go back and discuss this matter with our companions.”

The village chief said worriedly, “Leave quickly. Staying too long might bring trouble.”

“Alright.” Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan left the village under cover of darkness.

Yi Chuanchuan asked, “Zhanglin, what do we do now?”

Jiang Zhanglin looked around and said, “Make a torch and go to the county town to find two people.”

Yi Chuanchuan objected, “The county town closes early at this time, we won’t be able to get in.”

Jiang Zhanglin rubbed his forehead, then suddenly remembered, “I saw a cave when we came before. Let’s just stay there for the night.”

“That’s better than sleeping out in the open.” Yi Chuanchuan easily accepted. When faced with harsh conditions, it’s easy to settle for worse.

The two supported each other towards the cave.

At night, nothing happened. Chu Tang took out the items he had searched from the fourth leader: a purse, a jade pendant, and a dagger.

Inside the purse were several silver taels and a thumb-sized carving, very bizarrely shaped like a fish without a head.

Chu Tang held the carving in his hand, noting the material was of excellent quality, made from agarwood, definitely not something ordinary people could possess.

Hmm? It seemed there was a name inside the carving, written in running script, looking like a drawing.

He discerned it carefully, and the name was “Xuan Che.”

Was this a name? Or a title? After all, the surname Xuan was rare, almost non-existent in Dalin, only present in Chen’an country and belonging to a prominent clan.

This clan was known as a shadow family, specializing in espionage. Their espionage techniques were myriad, virtually nothing they wanted to know could stay hidden.

The emperor had often thought of bringing this shadow family under his control, but the royal family had many skeletons in their closet that were in this family’s hands, so he could only try to win them over without using force.

People both resented and depended on this shadow family.

“That fourth leader mentioned that the items were placed in their usual spot, but where is that place?”

It was unexpected that Lou Ze and the fourth leader had that kind of relationship.

Chu Tang called Hong Feiyun over, “I have some questions for you.”

Zeng Huo had been a major leader in the organization and knew a lot. After hearing Chu Tang’s words, he was extremely surprised, “How did you know about this?”

Chu Tang said, “I met the fourth leader, and he asked me to retrieve something from their old rendezvous spot. Do you know where it is?”

Hong Feiyun looked jealously at Chu Tang, “How do you know everything?”

“I don’t know either, I just do.” Chu Tang urged, “Come on, stop dawdling. What do you know?”

Hong Feiyun shook his head, “I don’t know their meeting place, but there’s someone who might. Let me take you to him.”

“Wait.” Chu Tang showed the fourth leader’s items to Hong Feiyun, “Take a look at these items, do you recognize anything?”

When Hong Feiyun saw the headless fish, he stood up excitedly, accidentally knocking over his stool, “How do you have the Xuan family’s clan token?”

Chu Tang inquired with a probing look, “You know of the Xuan family?”

Hong Feiyun spoke in a lowered voice, “All of us assassins were once sent to the Xuan family for special training, so we know some things.”

Chu Tang was surprised, “You guys get such treatment? It’s a pity to have killed you.”

Hong Feiyun, “…”

A pity, but still killed by you!

Chu Tang said, “This headless fish was found on the fourth leader, so you mean to say the fourth leader was from the Xuan family?”

Hong Feiyun righted his stool and sat down, “I’m not sure, I’m not very familiar with the fourth leader, and since he liked men, and the assassin group was all men, everyone stayed away from him.”

Ads by Pubfuture

That made sense, Chu Tang said, “How did Lou Ze come to your organization?”

Hong Feiyun honestly replied, “He was saved by the fourth leader.”

Chu Tang tapped the table, “So a life-saving grace turned into love?”

Hong Feiyun’s mouth twitched, this sounded weird coming from Chu Tang, almost comical.

Chu Tang asked, “Where did the fourth leader rescue Lou Ze from?”

Hong Feiyun replied, “It was when we went to the Xuan family for training.”

Chu Tang said, “So Lou Ze is from the Xuan family?”

Hong Feiyun shook his head, “I don’t know about that.”

Unexpectedly, simply playing a role had such a complex secret behind it; it seemed both the fourth leader and Lou Ze were somehow related to the Xuan family.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Tang said, “Let’s pause this topic for now, let’s first find the items the fourth leader left for Lou Ze.”

Hong Feiyun nodded, “Let’s go.”

They left the bamboo house and flew towards the southeast.

A black-clothed man emerged from the darkness, “Left Emissary, shall we follow?”

“No need.” The voice of the Left Emissary came from inside the house, “That Chu Tang has no known background, appearing out of nowhere, and gives me an unfathomable feeling. Following him would just lead to a loss of life. With all the assassins in the organization wiped out, we are short on people; better save them for more important uses.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The black-clothed man retreated to his original position and disappeared.

…

On the way, Chu Tang transformed back into Lou Ze, and Hong Feiyun back into Zeng Huo, feeling a sense of rebirth at that moment.

Under Zeng Huo’s lead, the two arrived at a very ordinary-looking house.

Zeng Huo prompted Lou Ze to knock on the door.

Lou Ze looked around and then knocked, “Is Tan Xia here?”

Chapter 937: Coming and Going Editor: Henyee Translations

The door was quickly opened by a man with a leg amputated, who hobbled over with the help of a crutch. The man with the broken leg originally looked sullen, but his face lit up with excitement when he saw Lou Ze, “Lou Ze, you’re alive, that’s great! I’ve been hoping every day that you would come to visit me, and you finally have.”

Tan Xia was a good friend of both Lou Ze and the fourth leader. He had lost a leg during a mission, and the organization had given him some silver, with which he built a courtyard where he now resided.

Lou Ze apologized, “I’m sorry, I’ve been caught up with too many things recently and didn’t have the chance to visit you. How have you been?”

Tan Xia didn’t mind at all; he was very enthusiastic and happy, “No worries, no worries, come in and sit down.”

Lou Ze said, “No need to sit, it’s quite late. I came to ask you about the place where he and I used to go often.” As he spoke, a wisp of spiritual light entered Tan Xia’s body.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tan Xia blurted out, “Isn’t it the waterfall behind the organization? You two often went there.”

It turned out the place was so close. Lou Ze said, “Thank you.”

Tan Xia felt something was off but hadn’t yet realized what, “No problem. You too, you’ve been too negligent of the fourth leader. But I can’t blame you, acting is indeed exhausting.”

Lou Ze, “…”

What’s going on? Is there more to the story?

Lou Ze pretended as if he couldn’t remember, “Why do you say that?”

Tan Xia looked at Lou Ze as if he were a younger brother, “Have you forgotten? You intentionally got rescued by the fourth leader, aiming to infiltrate the Yun Organization. You don’t even like men, how could you possibly truly love the fourth leader.”

Lou Ze thought to himself, could “he” be the person from the Xuan family? That would be very interesting, “It’s okay, I’m heading to the waterfall now.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Tan Xia nodded, “Go ahead, be careful.”

Lou Ze left the cottage and headed to the waterfall with Zeng Huo, “Do you ever feel like everyone around has secrets?”

Zeng Huo glanced at Lou Ze, “I didn’t think so before, but now I do. I won’t trust people easily in the future.”

Lou Ze advised, “There’s no need for that, what’s the joy in life if you guard against everyone? People, just take it easy.”

Zeng Huo said, “Let’s find the item.”

“The waterfall is so big, where would the fourth leader hide things?” Lou Ze looked around and asked Zeng Huo, “Does the fourth leader have any particular habits or hobbies?”

Zeng Huo thought for a moment, “He likes to polish his knife.”

Lou Ze crossed his arms, a person who likes to polish knives is patient, rough, and straightforward. If he were to hide something, it would probably be hidden in…

He took a few steps back, then walked to the left, where several stones were stacked together. The item should be under these.

He moved the stones aside, and indeed, there was a box underneath.

He picked up the wooden box and said, “Zeng Huo, let’s go.”

The two quickly left and returned to their room. Lou Ze placed the box on the table, “Guess what’s inside?”

Zeng Huo shook his head, “How would I know?”

The fourth leader had said that the item was something Lou Ze had always wanted. What could Lou Ze possibly want? With curiosity, Lou Ze opened the box.

Zeng Huo craned his neck to look.

Inside the box was a map, which Lou Ze took out to examine, not understanding it, “Where is this map of?”

Zeng Huo looked at it for a long time, then shook his head, “I can’t tell.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Lou Ze thought for a moment, his expression growing serious, “I need to make a trip out, you handle things here.”

Zeng Huo didn’t want to face the Left Emissary alone, too terrifying, “I’ll come with you. After all, Hong Feiyun and Chu Tang are also moving together.”

“Let’s go.” If the Left Emissary killed Zeng Huo, it would be inconvenient for her to gather information in the organization.

The two left the bamboo hut again, heading straight for the military camp.

Tang Jinghong was still in his tent dealing with official business, and several deputies were present. Chu Qingzhi didn’t feel it was appropriate to interrupt, so she sent Meng Shengdong, “Go and call Jinghong out for a moment, tell him I have something important.”

“Alright.” Meng Shengdong immediately went into the tent and quietly relayed the message.

Tang Jinghong, after hearing the message, showed no outward reaction but got up from his seat.

Outside the military camp, there was a huge pine tree where Chu Qingzhi stood, arms crossed, looking up at the moon in the sky.

Tang Jinghong walked towards Chu Qingzhi, holding a bag of candied beans, “Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled at Tang Jinghong, then handed him the map she had just obtained, while taking the candied beans into her own hands, “This is the map I just got. I don’t know where it is. Take a look.”

Tang Jinghong immediately recognized it, “This is the defense layout of the mansion belonging to the lord of the Eastern border.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

She explained how she had come into possession of the map, “Jinghong, I think we can delve deeper into Lou Ze’s identity.”

Tang Jinghong spoke gently, “Take care of yourself and send me messages at any time.”

Chu Qingzhi hugged Tang Jinghong, “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong affectionately patted Chu Qingzhi’s head, “You’ve made great achievements again.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingzhi jokingly asked, “Then how many military merits are you going to record for me?”

Tang Jinghong thought for a moment, “Third-class merit, otherwise, we’ll run out of classifications later.”

Chu Qingzhi laughed, “Right, after I stabilize the Left Emissary, I’ll immediately follow up on the second batch of military provisions. Be ready to respond at any time on your end.”

Tang Jinghong nodded, “I understand.”

After discussing some more issues, Chu Qingzhi and Zeng Huo left.

Tang Jinghong holding the map of the mansion returned to the military camp. It seemed likely that Lou Ze was an undercover agent of the Xuan family, but what would he need the palace’s defense layout for? To attack the palace?

It would make more sense to first get a border defense layout; this had no significance otherwise.

Another possibility was that he intended to steal something from the palace.

Did the mansion possess any invaluable treasures?

It didn’t seem so, or perhaps he didn’t know about it.

Holding the map of the mansion, Tang Jinghong felt that things were getting more complicated.

“Shaoyuan, send someone to gather recent news about the mansion. If there is any anomaly, report back immediately.”

“Yes, General.”

…

Chu Tang and Hong Feiyun returned to the bamboo house. The Left Emissary was waiting for them in the courtyard, “I wonder what brings you two out so late at night?”

There were other issues Chu Tang could tolerate, but concerning his son, he had to be careful.

Chu Tang took out some medicine, “We went to gather herbs.”

Hong Feiyun flashed a look of surprise; where did Chu Tang get these herbs? He hadn’t seen him gathering any herbs just now.

The Left Emissary was confused, “These herbs are for…”

Chu Tang said, “To treat your son’s leg. These herbs need to be picked at midnight to retain their potency. Did our coming and going disturb the Left Emissary’s rest?”

The Left Emissary scrutinized Chu Tang, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find any flaws, “You are thoughtful. Once you cure my son’s leg, I will surely reward you handsomely.”

Chu Tang, feigning surprise, “Thank you, Left Emissary. We will do our best.”

The Left Emissary, unable to see through Chu Tang, gave up. As long as his son could be healed, all would be well, “You should rest early.”

Chu Tang responded, “Yes, Left Emissary.”

The Left Emissary, with a probing glance at Chu Tang, turned and left.

Chu Tang looked at the herbs in his hand, took them back to his room, followed by Hong Feiyun, who couldn’t hold back and asked, “What’s the deal with the medicine?”

Chu Tang casually placed the herbs on the table, “Just an excuse, don’t dwell on it.”

Hong Feiyun was nearly driven mad by Chu Tang’s unexpected actions, “I’m not concerned about what it is, but why it appeared in your hands?”

Chu Tang poured himself a cup of tea, “I just picked it up along the way, just in case.”

Hong Feiyun took a deep breath, knowing he couldn’t understand people like Chu Qingzhi, “Forget it, let’s rest early. I’m going back.”

Chu Tang waved, “Take care.”

Chu Tang got up and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, pondering…

Where could the second batch of military provisions be?

…

Hong Feiyun returned to his quarters. A figure emerged from the darkness at the entrance, “Feiyun, you’re back?”

Hong Feiyun sighed inwardly, stepping back in displeasure, “Mu Xiao, why aren’t you asleep yet?”

Mu Xiao looked at Hong Feiyun eagerly, “I was waiting for you here.”

Hong Feiyun wished he could disappear on the spot, “Why were you waiting for me?”

“I wanted to talk to you.” Mu Xiao’s patience had reached its limit, but his expression darkened, “You’ve always been with Chu Tang, right?” The thought of Hong Feiyun constantly with Chu Tang made him irritable.

Hong Feiyun nodded, a well-known fact at the base, “Is there a problem?”

Mu Xiao took a step towards Hong Feiyun, looking into her eyes nervously, “Do you like him?”

Hong Feiyun shuddered; he wouldn’t dare to harbor feelings for her, “No, absolutely not, don’t talk nonsense. I spend a lot of time with him because I brought him in, and I can’t afford any mistakes with the Left Emissary, so I can’t be negligent.”

Mu Xiao was somewhat relieved, “You really have no other feelings for him?”

Hong Feiyun nodded earnestly.

Mu Xiao suddenly stepped forward and hugged Hong Feiyun tightly, “Feiyun, won’t you stop rejecting me?”

Hong Feiyun was overwhelmed. Internally he cursed, ‘I’m a man, why would I wait to turn gay?’ He forcefully pushed Mu Xiao away, “Don’t do this, it’s not good to be seen.”

Mu Xiao shockingly said, “Feiyun, let’s get married.”

Hong Feiyun, “…”

Hong Feiyun flew down from a tree, unable to accept it, shouted, “I disagree.”

Both Hong Feiyun and Mu Xiao turned to look at her.

Mu Xiao’s eyes hardened with viciousness when he saw Hong Feiyun. If it weren’t for the fact that she was Feiyun’s sister, he would have dealt with her long ago, “This has nothing to do with you, go back where you came from.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Hong Feiyun pointed at Hong Feiyun, “She’s my sister, how can you say this has nothing to do with me?”

Mu Xiao’s gaze chilled, “You don’t need to interfere in this matter, go back to sleep, or I’ll get very angry.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A chill ran down Hong Feiyun’s spine, but she still didn’t back down, “Mu Xiao, I’m the one who likes you. My sister doesn’t like you, why do you insist on marrying her?”

Mu Xiao looked at Hong Feiyun with an exceedingly gentle gaze, “How do you know your sister doesn’t like me?”

Hong Feiyun pointed at Hong Feiyun, emotionally, “She told me herself. If you don’t believe it, ask her.”

Hong Feiyun nodded, “Mu Xiao, I really don’t like you. Feiyun likes you so much, why don’t you marry Feiyun?”

Mu Xiao was incredulous, “Feiyun, that’s not what you told me before.”

Hong Feiyun was amenable, “Then let’s go with what I said this time.”

Mu Xiao couldn’t accept Hong Feiyun’s sudden change of heart and roared, “Feiyun, have you fallen for Chu Tang?”

“You all sort it out yourselves, I’m going to sleep.” Hong Feiyun, not wanting to accompany Mu Xiao in his madness, pushed him away and returned to her room. After entering, she slammed the door shut, isolating herself from the two outside.

Mu Xiao stared at the closed door for a while, his expression growing colder, “Hong Feiyun, you really are shameless.”

Hong Feiyun’s face turned pale, shocked to hear such words from the man she liked, “Mu Xiao, I…”

“Shut up! Don’t call me, from now on, I’ll act as if I don’t know you. If you continue to bother us, don’t blame me for being unkind.” Mu Xiao turned away sharply and left.

Hong Feiyun watched Mu Xiao’s retreating figure, her hands clenched tightly, her eyes slowly turning red with deep sadness, “Hong Feiyun, Mu Xiao, why do you both treat me like this when you are the closest to me?”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Tang, lying on a tree branch above, dropped his voice from the sky, “Why do you insist on making someone who doesn’t like you, like you?”

Hong Feiyun looked up defiantly, “You’ve only been here a day, and my sister is already following you around. You, who lack nothing in love, can afford to say such things.”

Chu Tang popped a candied bean into his mouth, “You’re troubling yourself.”

Hong Feiyun, pointing at Chu Tang, shouted angrily, “You have no right to say that.”

Chu Tang, almost as if talking to himself, asked, “Do you want to become someone who is liked by many people like me?”

Hong Feiyun paused, “What do you mean?”

Chu Tang made an offer, “Help me with one thing, and I’ll make you likable. How about it?”

Cautiously intrigued to see what he was really after, Hong Feiyun asked, “What is it?”

“I want to know…” Chu Tang leaped down to face Hong Feiyun closely and whispered, “the whereabouts of the second batch of military supplies.”

Hong Feiyun’s expression changed, “Who are you?”

“I am Chu Tang.” He spoke nonchalantly, “What do you think? Will we make a deal? It seemed like you really hated them just now, weren’t you just talking big?”

Hong Feiyun hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth, “Okay, I’ll trade.”

Chu Tang smiled, “First, stop always looking so bitter and resentful. Be easy-going like me, got it?”

Hong Feiyun knew her personality wasn’t likable, but she had always been this way; how could she change easily, “I… I can’t do that.”

Chu Tang folded his arms, looking at her seriously, “Think about it. If doing this makes Mu Xiao like you, can you do it?”

Hong Feiyun imagined it for a moment and then nodded, “I think I can manage that.”

Chu Tang handed her a handful of candied beans, “Good, now I’ve taught you the method, it’s your turn to tell me the information.”

Hong Feiyun eyed Chu Tang incredulously, “You want to trade my information that simply?”

Chu Tang’s expression darkened slightly, “Are you having second thoughts?”

Hong Feiyun felt immense pressure, swallowed hard, and hurriedly said, “I wouldn’t dare.” Chu Tang had just been so frightening, scarier than Mu Xiao by a factor of ten, no, a hundred times. It was terrifying.

Chu Tang resumed his easygoing demeanor, “Fair exchange, then speak quickly.”

Hong Feiyun glanced around, “Can we find a more secluded place to talk? Are you trying to get us killed by the Left Emissary here?”

“There’s no one around, just speak.” If there were people, he wouldn’t be talking so openly!

Hong Feiyun wasn’t sure how he could be so confident, but she felt that he was not someone to be trifled with, “There’s a warehouse at the base, I’ll take you there.”

Chu Tang pocketed the candy beans and clapped his hands, “Let’s go.”

Led by Hong Feiyun, they zigzagged through several buildings until they reached a woodshed.

Hong Feiyun turned to face Chu Tang, “What exactly are you here for?”

Chu Tang was straightforward, “Looking for the second batch of military provisions.”

Hong Feiyun tried to gauge his intent, “What will you do if you find the military provisions?”

Chu Tang casually said, “What else? Obviously, take them back.”

Hong Feiyun narrowed her eyes slightly, “Are you one of Tang Jinghong’s people?”

Chu Tang maintained his composure, his aura oppressively calm, “That’s none of your business. Just fulfill our deal.”

Hong Feiyun expressed her dissatisfaction, “But you just told me one thing, and you want me to give so much. Don’t you think that’s unfair?”

Chu Tang countered, “You want fairness?”

Hong Feiyun replied, “Who doesn’t want fairness?”

Chu Tang smirked coldly, “In my world, power dictates the terms, or else you’re just lambs to the slaughter.”

Hong Feiyun was left speechless in anger, “You…”

Chu Tang said lightly, “I don’t have time to spar with you. If you back out now, you might never leave here.”

If Hong Feiyun wasn’t somewhat useful, she would have been eliminated already.

Hong Feiyun suddenly felt a tangible aura of menace enveloping her, a wave of palpitations spread, suppressing any thought of resistance.

Trembling, she pushed aside the firewood, pressed a brick thrice, and a door in the wall opposite opened, “Go through there; it leads to the base’s warehouse.”

Chu Tang probed with his consciousness and confirmed it was indeed a storeroom. He entered.

Hong Feiyun hesitated, then followed, biting her lip.

Inside, a vast stone chamber filled with many boxes appeared unremarkable. Chu Tang randomly opened a few; some contained food, others medicinal herbs.

But these were not the military provisions.

Chu Tang frowned slightly, “Do you know any other place near the market that could store large quantities of goods?”

Hong Feiyun answered, “It can only be inside the market.”

Chu Tang’s brows furrowed, “We’ll go to the market tomorrow.”

Hong Feiyun mentioned, “Aren’t you supposed to be treating the Left Emissary’s son’s leg?”

Chu Tang glanced at Hong Feiyun, “A short trip won’t delay that.”

Hong Feiyun suddenly said, “I have a condition.”

Chu Tang responded indifferently, “You’ve already made conditions.”

Hong Feiyun put a dagger to her own neck, “I want to change it. If you don’t agree, I won’t go to the market tomorrow.”

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Tang crossed his arms, amused, “Speak, then. What’s the change?”

Hong Feiyun, unexpectedly, said, “Make Mu Xiao stop liking my sister.”

Chu Tang sized up Hong Feiyun, “What exactly is the deep hatred between you and your sister?”

Hong Feiyun shook her head, looking misunderstood, “No, it’s for her own good. Mu Xiao is cunning and not a good match. I hate them, but I don’t want my sister to get hurt.”

Is this a woman’s heart as fathomless as the sea? Wondering what Hong Feiyun was really thinking, Chu Tang said, “Should we just kill Mu Xiao then?”

Hong Feiyun quickly responded, “No, Mu Xiao once saved our lives, we can’t kill him.”

Chu Tang, “…”

Chu Tang suggested, “Let’s stick with the original deal, I can’t manage this one.”

Hong Feiyun’s first reaction was disbelief, “You’re so powerful, how can you not manage it?”

Chu Tang shrugged, exasperated, “I’m just a doctor, my abilities are limited.” He found it troublesome and didn’t want to get involved.

Hong Feiyun, “…”

Chu Tang thought for a moment, “Here’s the deal: if you help me find the second batch of military provisions, I’ll agree to your condition to make them never interact again.”

Hong Feiyun perked up, visibly excited, “Are you sure?”

Chu Tang, running out of patience, confirmed, “Yes, sure.”

“Deal!” Hong Feiyun said with some excitement. “I’ll take you to the market early every day. Be ready.”

In the early morning, the horizon glowed with the redness of dawn.

Jiang Zhanglin and Yi Chuanchuan woke up successively and headed towards the county town. Waking up early and trekking over hills and mountains was truly exhausting.

Upon reaching the county town, both were so famished that they hastily looked for a breakfast shop to eat.

Yi Chuanchuan leaned closer to Jiang Zhanglin and whispered, “Don’t you find it strange?”

Jiang Zhanglin looked around and nodded, “Yes, this county town is eerily quiet, it feels desolate.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yi Chuanchuan agreed, “Right, a county town should be bustling with the morning market at this hour, but here, it’s like it’s deserted.”

Jiang Zhanglin had a bad premonition, “Let’s eat quickly, and after eating, we’ll find them and head back right away.”

Yi Chuanchuan felt a sense of urgency, “Hmm.”

The owner served them two bowls of noodles, “Enjoy.”

They ate quickly, and after finishing, they headed straight to the gambling house, only to find its doors shut.

Yi Chuanchuan’s face paled, unable to hide his anxiety, “Zhanglin, something must have happened.”

Jiang Zhanglin maintained his composure and led Yi Chuanchuan towards the outskirts, “We need to go back and find the general.”

In the market.

Chu Tang, Hong Feiyun, Hong Feiyun, and Mu Xiao walked together, the atmosphere awkward and strained.

That morning, as Chu Tang and Hong Feiyun were preparing to leave, Hong Feiyun insisted on accompanying them, and Mu Xiao insisted on following Hong Feiyun. Thus, all four ended up together.

Chu Tang suggested, “Let’s find a place to eat first.”

Hong Feiyun quickly said, “I know a good breakfast spot. Chu Tang, let me take you there?”

Mu Xiao, seeing Hong Feiyun trying to please Chu Tang, felt uncomfortable instantly, “Feiyun, you’ve never taken me to any nice breakfast place. Why take him as soon as he arrives?”

Hong Feiyun felt his skin crawl with irritation, “Why are you so petty?”

Hong Feiyun deliberately distanced Hong Feiyun from Mu Xiao, “Sister hasn’t even taken me there.”

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Hong Feiyun gave the address to Chu Tang and then flew away.

Mu Xiao hurriedly followed.

Chu Tang flicked a pulse of spiritual energy that struck Mu Xiao in the spine. He collapsed on the street, which was somewhat embarrassing.

Hong Feiyun looked at Chu Tang, then quickly went to help Mu Xiao up, “Mu Xiao, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Mu Xiao, feeling humiliated, quickly straightened his clothes and walked on rapidly ahead.

Chu Tang raised an eyebrow, noting that this person’s psychological resilience was quite strong; he didn’t leave but instead followed up!

Hong Feiyun stopped in place, waiting for Chu Tang and questioned, “Did you do that just now?”

Chu Tang ignored Hong Feiyun, finding her ever-changing moods and inconsistency annoying.

Hong Feiyun stamped her foot and followed him.

The group gathered at the breakfast place Hong Feiyun had mentioned, each taking a seat and ordering breakfast.

As Chu Tang sat eating, facing perpendicular to the street, someone caught his eye—Yan Zihao.

Yan Zihao, with a mustache attached, hurried down the street looking rather out of sorts.

What was with his disguise? Where was he going?

After thinking it over, Chu Tang hurried his meal and followed.

Tang Jinghong hadn’t informed Chu Qingzhi of their task, leaving her unaware.

As Chu Tang left, Hong Feiyun quickly followed, then Mu Xiao, and finally Hong Feiyun.

Watching this unfold, Chu Tang’s mouth twitched, and he decisively ditched Hong Feiyun, not wanting to drag along three tails—how annoying.

Following Yan Zihao through several streets, they arrived at a temple.

The temple, called “Jian Shan Temple,” was situated amidst the hustle and bustle. It featured two large stone lions at the entrance, gold inlaid plaques, and doors painted in vermilion. Without the plaque, it resembled a rich family’s estate more than a temple.

Chu Tang furrowed his brows, puzzled why someone would build a temple in such a busy area, flaunting wealth so openly?

Moreover, the temple attracted many devotees. In just the few moments he watched, several groups had entered.

Yan Zihao also entered the temple.

Chu Tang found this odd and followed inside.

After circling a small alley and returning, Chu Tang had transformed into an ordinary-looking young girl.

Inspecting her disguise, Chu Qingzhi proceeded inside.

Once inside, she found the interior even more luxurious than expected. The place was an expansive square surrounded by houses enshrining Bodhisattvas, with marble flooring and painted walls, making the temple even more splendid than the homes of wealthy families.

Devotees knelt before the houses, hands pressed together, murmuring prayers.

Chu Qingzhi scanned for Yan Zihao, who surprisingly headed towards the back of the temple. What was he here for? Could he be a spy?

With this doubt, Chu Qingzhi continued to follow.

Behind the temple, Chu Qingzhi was taken aback by a smaller square filled with kneeling people, atop a high platform sat an elderly man with the demeanor of a sage.

The elderly man sat cross-legged on a lotus pedestal, a white whisk draped over one arm, eyes closed, seemingly in meditation.

Next to him, a young monk dressed in robes announced, “Devotees coming to worship Bliss Master, please find a spot and settle down. The Master will begin his teachings soon, don’t miss it.”

Newcomers upon hearing this, immediately pushed past Chu Qingzhi in their rush to secure a spot.

Chu Qingzhi stepped aside, and soon after, a young monk approached, “Young lady, this isn’t a place for you. Please leave.”

Chu Qingzhi challenged, “They can come, why can’t I?”

The monk smiled lightly, an everyday manner, “Listening to the Master’s teachings costs money. Do you have any?”

Chu Qingzhi scoffed inwardly, “How much per person?”

The monk smiled slightly, “Ten silver taels per day.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

Better at extortion than her, truly admirable.

She pulled out a ten-tael silver ingot from her clothes, “Can I stay now?”

The monk’s face changed instantly, “My apologies for not recognizing your status, miss. Please, come in.”

Just a moment ago she couldn’t enter, now suddenly she was a ‘miss’ for just ten silver taels—a real bargain. Muttering inwardly, Chu Qingzhi found a seat.

The square already had no fewer than a thousand people sitting, each contributing ten taels—just like that, ten thousand taels were easily made by spouting a few nonsenses.

After settling down, more people continued to arrive—mothers with sons, fathers with sons, couples…

Are they all so wealthy?

She asked a girl sitting next to her, “How often do you come here?”

The girl beamed, “I come every day.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

Chu Qingzhi asked, “Doesn’t ten taels a day seem expensive to you?”

The girl, with delicate and tender skin, clearly not worried about money, said, “My father is a wealthy merchant, we are quite rich, so ten taels are nothing to worry about.”

Chu Qingzhi feigned envy, flattering the young girl’s vanity to coax more information, “Who brought you here?”

The girl blushed with a mix of shyness and anticipation, “My mother sent me. She said that listening to the Master’s teachings can prevent illness and make one more beautiful. Most importantly, she said it could help me marry a perfect husband someday.”

“People believe this?” Chu Qingzhi inquired, “Has anyone actually achieved this?”

The girl nodded eagerly, “Yes, my cousin listened to the teachings and then married a top scholar. He was handsome and from a good family, and he married her in grand style. I’m not inferior to my cousin; I can do it too.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself about the improbability of finding a top scholar, given the rarity of such achievements, “But there’s only one top scholar every three years. How are there enough for everyone?”

The girl giggled shyly, “Then marrying into the top three scholars or even just a good family would be fine too—as long as it’s a good match.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

Curious, Chu Qingzhi asked, “What did your mother ask for?”

The girl, guileless, spilled everything, “She asked to become more beautiful so that my father would love only her. Our family has many concubines, and father often neglected my mother. She was really desperate.”

Chu Qingzhi was curious about the results, “So, does your father favor your mother now?”

The girl nodded excitedly, “Yes, now he spends every night in my mother’s room and doesn’t go anywhere else.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

“Is it really that miraculous?” Chu Qingzhi turned to a young man in blue next to her, “Young man, what do you seek here?”

The young man looked distressed, “My grandfather is sick, and I came to ask for his quick recovery.”

“Why not see a doctor?” suggested Chu Qingzhi.

The young man shook his head, “Doctors couldn’t help. Only the Bliss Master can cure him.” He seemed utterly convinced.

Chu Qingzhi puzzled, “Why do you believe in the Bliss Master so much?”

The young man leaned slightly towards Chu Qingzhi and whispered, “Our servant was nearly dead from her illness, but after attending a session here, she miraculously recovered.”

Chu Qingzhi, “…”

What kind of teachings could be so powerful?

As she pondered, Chu Qingzhi scanned the crowd for Yan Zihao. He was sitting five rows away, head bowed, looking every bit the devout believer.
