After passing spreads of cattails near the shore and weaving through dense shi+p illuht, they could see that although Shan Qing, whose sleeves were floating in the wind, was only thirty-percent beautiful, this kind of atmosphere kind of accentuate herblurted out, “Xianzi Jiejie [fairy sister], you look so pretty!”
Naturally Shan Qing knew that he was kissing her ss; she smiled and said, “Don’t be loquacious, Madame really hates kids who spout nonsense endlessly If you provoke her, you won’t feel good at all”
Displeased, Xu Ziling said, “Don’t think that since you saves us, you can treat us anyway you want … ow!” Kou Zhong elbowed his arm Immediately he remembered their heavy responsibility toward Li shi+ did not know the twists and turns in this shi+p After leading the two boys to the shi+p, iet ready to set sail
Greatly astounded, Kou Zhong asked, “It’s late, where are we going?”
At this tie men, appeared in front of the three people to welco Pai is divided into two departments, men and women The wo If you join our Sect in the future, you would also change your surna ” And then he introduced the two , the other Shang Kuitai
Shan Qing calreat Law-Protector Fairies, the men also have four Sect-Protector Generals The other two are Shang Ren and Shang Wannian, who presently are not here”
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling really wanted to ask Shang Ming’s capacity, but looking at Shang Ming’s cold and indifferent attitude, they quickly sed their question back
Shan Qing ordered the two boys, “You’d better stay in your cabin Yuwen Clan’s ht wind of your whereabouts, the situation is extre enht, and obediently followed another man in white into their cabin
The two boys followed the er deck The fa the man would take them to the lower deck, but the man continued on to the room at the end of the hallway, pushed the door open and invited thery?” he asked
Reminded by him, the two boys’ tummy iorously
The zi please take a rest a bit, I will be back with two baskets of stearatefully asked, “Howuncle]?”
“Why don’t you just call me Uncle Liu?” the man replied
After the man left, the two boys closed the door and went to theThey could not even describe their feeling
Xu Ziling said in low voice, “This Dong Ming Pai is so strange, the men all take the same surnaanization is very tight It also see to pull us to become a member; this is really hard to understand”
With a soft chuckle Kou Zhong said, “Why do you care hisas we can steal the account book and juo our separate ways But we e it, then perhaps we could use it to bring harainst it?”
Xu Ziling replied with a wry smile, “It’s easy for you to say Anybody in here could beat us senseless at will”
Sneering, Kou Zhong said, “I aht What are you afraid of?”
At this ti some delicacies; she was not the beautifulthe other day, in term of beauty, she o notches below
After thebusily By the ti and the food still left a rich aftertaste, the huge shi+p shuddered and started to sail
Kou Zhong looked out theand saw that the shi+p was heading toward the northern channel “Hey! Why go north instead of west?” he exclai this ill reach the Weishan Lake soon”
Xu Ziling pulled hiht?” he said, “That Madaainst her”
Kou Zhong sat down on the seat by theHe drank a cup of hot tea and voiced his agreement, “Since we set sail, naturally she, the Senior, has safely returned”
Seeing Xu Ziling was still frowning hard, he asked in surprise, “What are you thinking?”
Xu Ziling dejectedly said, “Although we can brandish sabers and play with swords like an expert, our mental cultivation is actually very low Remember ere at the casino, only after that Shen woman pressed her hands on our shoulders, o fools, knew that she had arrived How could genuine reed He nodded and said, “We indeed don’t have enough hu … hey! Not Jianghu, just don’t have enough martial art master’s experience Our, two brothers’ days as martial art masters are just too short, most of the days we don’t even remember that we arein laughter, there was a knock on the door The two boys were greatly e about it, they did not detect so cleared his throat and said, “Come in!”
The door opened; a pretty face as beautiful as a flower appeared first to greet, “Gongzi, how are you?” before her beautiful body followed into the roo Ming the other day
The two boys ireet her
The beautiful htened as she cheerfully said, “You have grown tall Compared to the last time, your expressions are a lot better”
A friendly feeling welled up in Kou Zhong’s heart; grinning, he said, “Is it because we are wearing rather decent clothes that we appear taller? Plushave a couple pennies in our possession, hence we are a bit prouder”
The pretty zi loves to joke a lot, Xu Gongzi is a lot hter, “That is because he has yet to show you his true face!”
Xu Ziling asked in surprise, “Jiejie even know our names and surnames?”
The pretty maid acted as if she suddenly realized that she had talked too ht now all levels of society have been turned upside-down by you Only the deaf have not heard about your feat and your background Alright! I a to take you to see Madale and said, “This tireedy and corrupt true nature any came over and leaned his face brazenly close to her pretty face and asked, “What is Jiejie’s beautiful name?”
Surprised by this show of intiry, but not quite angry, captivating expression She spoke in low voice, “It’s not a big deal for you to talk flirtatiously like that, but when talking to Madame, you must never make an unreasonable scene Ay! The one I am most worried about is Miss; her i knitted his sword-like eyebrows and said, “We are not going to ask any favor fro to their likes and dislikes?”
The pretty hed and said, “Because I know you are people with true feeling and true nature, that’s why I told you this In a lot of other things I a as you are a bitsafely”
“What exactly is the danger?” Kou Zhong wondered, “Hey! This tiht us back, is it because she want to select a husband for her daughter?”
The pretty maid was shocked, “How could you think that far?” she asked, “The candidate for Princess’ husband has been chosen long ago”
Kou Zhong giggled and said, “In that case, it must be because she wanted to choose a husband for you, Jiejie”
The prettynonsense; just see if I a also felt that Kou Zhong was a bit excessive; he frowned and said, “Kou Zhong, can’t you talk with a bit ed his shoulders and said, “This is called curiosity Jiejie is so pretty, and I am not yet married; can’t I ask the question?”
Even the pretty h as she cast an angry glare toward Kou Zhong But then she bowed her head and said, “I do not really blame him, but I already have a betrothed, it’s just that he has not passed through the doorway [ie marry into a family]!”
The two boys were shocked, “He has not passed through the doorway?”
The pretty maid clearly did not wish to continue this conversation “Come!” she said in low voice, “Follow me to see Madame!” And she preceded them toward the door
The two boys ran after her When they got to the door, just before she pushed the door open, the pretty maid halted her steps and said softly, “Remember, my na cabin where theythe other day The pretty maid Ruyin withdrew after she had the the bamboo curtain
The two boys looked at each other while waiting painfully for half a day before Madaentle voice came froain”
The two boys respectfully replied, “Mada was quiet for a , “I was mistaken that day; turns out your skill is not bad at all”
Kou Zhong modestly replied, “Madah to defend ourselves; it can’t be considered anything”
Mada spoke indifferently, “Toward such a martial art expert like Du Fuwei, how many people actually dare to speak up to defend the all kinds of circu h to snatch you froain you were able to escape froh to have your na such praise, the two boys did not feel anything spectacular, because both ti on crafty tricks and their luck; it had nothing to do with actual skill
Madaloomily and said, “I have a question, and I want you to answer me truthfully”
The two boys nodded
“When people were going to attack us sneakily that night, why did you take the risk by sending us warning?” Mada by idly and watch,” Xu Ziling nonchalantly replied, “We need to teach those bad eggs a lesson! If we had known Mada people fall head over heels”
Mada spoke indifferently, “By what qualifications did Haisha Bang people dare to provoke us? But their backing is people with great background The situation that night was actually very disadvantageous to us Yuwen Clan’s third in command Yuwen shi+ personally led theirpeople If they ed to sink our shi+p, I really don’t knohat the consequences would be That’s why I a were shocked to learn that there werethose people that night
Mada calmly said, “One question I wasn’t clear previously was since the two of youfor profit as your life objective, ould you want to so soerous as to offend Yuwen Clan? But just now Ziling has given me theby idly and watch Hearing that ’s thick skin turned red as he said, “Madame praises us too uy Han Pudi said that they were under Yuwen Huagu’s order And Yuwen Huagu happens to be our biggest enemy Therefore, while we have the opportunity, why not try to inflict so Ming lost her calu, what an interesting name you could cou was injured by Luocha wo for a year to recuperate My understanding is that his martial art skill has advanced by leaps and bounds instead; right now he is on par with the Clan leader Yuwen Shang Therefore, if you are not sure, you must never provoke him”
The two boys declined to comment, but they did not take her advice to heart either, siu’s ed, they were still too far inferior from him
Chapter 9, Part 2
Jaya, Ysabel, HPC, you are welcoive itthat this Princess will end up with Xu Ziling? I agree with your previous comment, it won't be fun if the two boys end up with 'da characters

The two boys suddenly understood why Ruyin said that Dong Ming Princess’ ihed and said, “This daughter of , it is very difficult to change her ly this tiave the order to give you assistance”
She did not understand, naturally the two boys did not understand evenMing changed the subject, “Whether it’s Du Fuwei, Li Mi, and perhaps Yuwen Huaji, or even all gangs and societies who know your whereabouts, nobody is willing to give up on you Do you have any plan for the future?”
The two boys shook their heads with blank expression on their face, indicating that they had no idea
Mada’s voice was a bit emotional as she spoke tenderly, “Before we learned about your involve Life’ and ‘Duke Yang’s Treasure Trove’, we did have the intention of absorbing you into our Sect to strengthen our ed my mind But please don’t think that it is because we are afraid to be implicated in this matter, rather, we are afraid to waste the kind of talent that you have I don’t knohether it’s the Heaven’s will, but your suffering is actually a great opportunity for you to learn by experience In just over a year, you have shed your e your bones and beco is you are able to make your expression [or shen qi - ‘divine qi’] understated, which is the realenuine martial art y level is not high, but you can definitely accomplish it Give it a little more time, your achievement will be beyond ht that if they could not stay, wouldn’t they lose the opportunity to carry out their trick ‘to i and steal the chicken’?
But Mada continued, “Bycare of so the canal After Juye Wetlands, the water should be covered by mist for hundreds of li, we can easily shake off enee for you to slip away onto the shore After that you will have to rely on your good luck”
The two boys were relieved; within these next eight to ten days, they should be able to complete the heavy responsibility Li shi+min entrusted to the slowly, fen by fen [1 fen ~ 1/3cained his consciousness

The sun outside penetrated the , bathing the sht; everything see’s mind was a piece of peacefulness, just like a cal before his eyes He looked up at the rectangular-shaped mosquito net above the bed The net was ether into a mesh; abundant with some kind of principle that was hard to describe ords, rich with many patterns What seemed to be identical square holes were actually myriads of different holes Each small hole, each small square actually had subtle differences with each other Light and darkness, big and small, they were all different Yet all these different holes formed a whole entity that could not be broken; each hole was independent, yet they also affecting each other
