While helping Xu Zilinganxiously asked, “Are you really alright? That female [usually refers to female animal] is really ruthless; just because ere not interested in hanging around with her! Unexpectedly she considered it big grudges and animosity”
“Can you lower your voice a little bit?” Xu Ziling said in low voice, “If she hears it ill be in trouble Hey! LetWhen the true qi in my body started to move, just a short while and I feel better already If I transferred my qi a bit earlier, perhaps I could easily take her pal said, “In that case this pal as you don’t die” And then he reled, “Don’t just look at her as being mean, the fact is that she unconsciously fell in love with you But because she is already betrothed, and you treated her as a worthless nobody, in her anger she wanted to attack you, hence shewas not a! Fall in love with ”
The ht, the more he was convinced He analyzed, “Even if one ti of shame, hence your offense is more serious than mine, but my treatment to her was not er; this kind of girl’s mind is the uy Shang Ming could not sit or stand still, his expression turned really weird”
Xu Ziling seized this opportunity to change the subject, “In that case, that Shang Ming ought to be that evil woh a doorway [marry into a fa Pai people kneeled in front of me, I can’t possibly join their Sect Men married into the women’s fahed and giggled, “The biggest reason is that the women would take care of us”
And then his expression turned serious as he said, “After we get to Weishan Lake tonight, Madao see Li shi+min’s old dad That will be the ti From here we cli our hand”
Meanwhile the scenery outside thehas changed, no longer steep banks and cliffs, but clear and crystalline river water, clumps of white cloud, the far-side bank continued on to open land as far as the eye can see They have arrived at Weishan Lake
The door was pushed open The uglyup a moment, and then with her hoarse voice and crudewas touched by her concern; he was about to reply that it was not a big deal when Kou Zhong pinched him Hastily he said, “I think after two days rest I should be alright Thank you Jiejie for your concern”
“Who cares about you?” the ugly ht Madame wants to eat dinner with you, so she sent ht, then that’s it” Finished speaking she turned around and left
While the two boys were looking at each other in astonishment, there was a knock on the door, the beautiful maid Ruyin ca sprang up and pulled the door open “Good Jiejie, please coreeted
‘Pfft!’ Ruyin broke into tender laughter; she cast a sidelong glance toward Kou Zhong and gracefully walked in Seeing Xu Ziling was sitting in a chair by the ithout any visible change in her countenance she said in ah on the surface you look badly injured, actually it is not serious at all”
Xu Ziling could not bear lying to her; he nodded and said, “Just a bit painful!”
Ruyin caentle and soft hand to feel the te her jade hand back, she said, “Your internal energy is so unusual; void and fluttering, so that it’s hard for others to gauge the depth of it”
Kou Zhong walked over to her, he took that opportunity to lean closer, his nose vigorously sucked in the fragrance of her hair first, before speaking right next to her ear, “This is called ‘unfathomable’”
Ruyin was displeased, “Can you be more proper? To be honest, my impression on you is notaround with those devoid-of-consciousness Baling Bang people; are you thinking of copying the aardly said, “We did not know Xiang Yushan was Baling Bang people!”
The rier she ith aro to their casino? Don’t you dare to say that you did not knoas not a casino!”
Seeing her al replied in panic, “We did not knoas a casino, we thought it was a brothel”
“What?” Ruyin’s voice broke
It was too late for Kou Zhong to correct hih, he said, “Ay! Jiejie, how could you know our plight that tiht spot, and had no choice but to find a place to hide”
Ruyin’s pretty face was flushed with anger, “It’s just an excuse; the truth was that you wanted to fool around in a place where you wanted to ingratiate yourselves like that Looking at your fine countenance fine appearance, I could not iine that you are so corrupt in the inside Just see if I will pay you anyher foot, she turned around and walked away
Kou Zhong reached out trying to get hold of her Ruyin dodged; her eyes bulging like fish bowl, she screamed, “You dare to touch ht, not ood people”
The two boys had never iirl could become this emotional; they stared blankly at her in silence and in fear
Ruyin’s silky breasts heaved up and down rapidly for athe two boys who looked like a great catastrophe had just befallen theriht, if you are willing to proo to that kind of place, I will forgive you!”
Xu Ziling was ready to pro, “In that case won’t we have to change our training to Tongzi Gong [virgin boy skill]?”
Ruyin was taken aback, and then her pretty face blushed as she stared hatefully at Kou Zhong before stor!’ as soon as he heard the door slah of relief He said, “Fortunately I did not let you give your promise in a rush Otherwise how could we enjoy life and be h and said, “That’s one ht now on this shi+p, other than Mada, it could be said that we look up and see no one fa sneered and said, “This shi+p is full of eccentric people, fortunately we are going to leave very soon Otherwise, sooner or later ill turn into one of theo to Ryukyu, I am sure they don’t have half a place where we can have fun”
Xu Ziling sighed and said, “What do you o to a brothel ays ca shady Apparently the two of us lack pleasure-house luck”
Kou Zhong laughed and said, “I don’t believe in demonic influence Co as our ears can hear the eight directions, we can carry out our grand plan” Finished speaking, he started to walk back and forth in the rooshi+p sailed at full speed over thetoward a certain destination
On the shi+p, a vegetarian feast has been prepared inside the hall of thestill had her face covered in veil, her entire being was still shrouded in unfatho on her left and right, respectively
All three Law-Protector Fairies were present Shan Yan and Shan Yudie, who dealt with Du Fuwei the other day, were expressionless [I could have sworn that it was Shan Xiu, not Shan Yan] Only Shan Qing showed a bit of war Ming showing such grand hospitality toward two boys whose names not encountered in the classics
The other attendees included Shang Ming and a senile-looking old ong randpa’, ‘father-in-law’, or simply a term of respect to address ( and tall, but his back was crooked However, the eyes under heavily wrinkled eyelids constantly flickered with strange purple light He appeared spirited, yet appeared dull at the sa
The other Dong Ming Sect people were very respectful toward him Other than the first time when he was introduced to the two boys, he did not even look at the on to the only wine pot on the table, silently pouring hietarian dishes on the table, he was not even interested in giving it a single glance
Very soon the two boys even forgot that he was there
Apparently Shan Wanjing was still angry, so she did not attend
However, whether it was related to Shan Wanjing or not, Shang Ming see with hostility; he was even more unfriendly than before
Ruyin ’s personalwith anger; apparently her resent had not subsided
All in all, this meal was not a pleasant one
At the start of dinner, Madaetic words on behalf of her daughter, but afterwards she chatted with Shang Ming and the others, leaving the two boys out on the side
The two boys were already used to this kind of treat out the dishes on the table However, they were used to eating meat, hence no matter how ive the their table , the rest of the people showed conte was discussing the changes in the militia situation, “The ht now Ying Yang Pai’s Liang shi+dou and Liu Wuzhou already cast their lots with thenani Khan, respectively These two renegades have received Tujue Khan’s order to attack Taiyuan If Li Yuan cannot defend Taiyuan, Tujue will definitely seize the chance to advance; at that tier”
Everybody was paying attention

Shan Yan said, “Right now the Li Clan is hard-pressed fro to have them completely wiped-out But in this matter nobody could offer any help to theood luck”
Shan Yudie said, “Fortunately Li Yuan has several good sons, plus Taiyuan is located upstrea Mountains [on the border between Hebei and Shanxi] and Yellow River, cradled by theon the world’s shoulder, with the Hedong as the foundation They have elite soldiers and ample provisions On top of that, Li Yuan, father and sons, bestow benevolence far and wide,friends with heroes everywhere, their influence continuously expanding; they are not a force of only one battle”
Shang Ming objected, “But Li Yuan is an indecisive leader, all along he considers himself as the incapable ruler’s aunt’s cousin There will come a day where that incapable ruler eary hie while the incapable ruler is redeploying his border guards to deal with Du Fuwei in Jiangdu region, and Wagang Ar, to advance to the capital and take it, to raise his ar and Xu Ziling’s hearts were burning; they both thought, ‘oh, so the current situation is like that’, no wonder Li shi+min wanted it sosaid, “Too bad we are liet involved in the Central Plains’ affair Othere see shi+hly to hi said indifferently, “If we can see the situation clearly, do you think other people can’t? This matter needs not be discussed anymore”
How could anybody dare to continue the discussion?
After an unbearably aard silence, Shang Gong suddenly looked at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two boys While the two boys grew nervous under his gaze that they could not s their food, Shang Gong spoke with his hoarse and hard-to-hear-clearly voice, “Who taught youbraced hi!”
“Who’s your Niang?” Mada explained, “His Niang is the sa, other people called her Luocha fe said, “Luocha fe vicious and merciless; I did not expect not only she took you as her adopted sons, she even sacrificed herself for you It can be considered incredible”
The two boys appeared deeply grieved
Shang Gong shook his head and said, “That’s not right! How long have you been training ave hi and the others revealed a shocked look on their faces Although their fighting skill did not count for anything, but in just over a year of training, they already had this kind of acco’s pal was deep in thought for half a day, and then he sighed and said, “If you can avoid experiencing fire deviation, in the future you ought to have superb acco said, “Meixian[1] has inspected their qi circulation method, it is actually very vast without any clear boundary I don’t knohere it starts, hence I dispelled the thought of accepting the Gong has an idea, why not giving the only shook his head; he no longer spoke
Back to their cabin, the two boys felt relieved as if they had just escaped fro said in a low voice, “There are too many people ‘who bite the hand that feed the who relies on its master’s power, he looked at us with disdain while he is acting as if he is sitting high on a pedestal Ha! Fortunately this Young Master is broad- sneered and said, “If you really don’t care about hi slapped his forehead and said, “You are right! Fro said in distress, “Hoould we knohen Madauy?”
Kou Zhong laughed and said, “Isn’t that simple? Whenever the shi+p stops, that’s when they leave the shi+p”
Xu Ziling said, “Supposing Madauy to meet on the shi+p, won’t our drea was speechless for half a day Finally he said in low voice, “Let’s not worry too ate in the hall above, ill iuy and his old dad’s fate is on our hands”
Xu Ziling craned his neck to look out theAfter looking around for quite some time, he pulled his head back and said, “Didn’t they say Yuwen Clan people want to shi+p? How come there’s not even a trace of the said, “Then whom should I ask? Huh?”
The sound of the shi+p suddenly changed; it slowed down The two boys tensed up; they had to wait patiently
That night the sky was clear the weather was nice, the crescent ht vieas enchanting
Under the shi+p slowly docked onto a s shi+p had already anchored
The two boys stuck out their heads out theto look, and recognized that it was Li shi+rew evenrapidly
When the Dong Ming flagshi+p has come to a complete stop, the two boys crouched down and pressed their ears on the cabin floor, while channeling their energy to listen carefully
Unexpectedly the cabin beloas silent, as if it was a deserted ghost town
Right thisinside the two boys’ eardruht, and they both saw that the other’s face was devoid of any color
“That’s Shang Gong’s voice,” Kou Zhong said in horror, “Even if he turned into dust I will still recognize it,”
“How could that old fellow’s sigh be that loud?” Xu Ziling asked, “It sounded like he was sighing next to our ears”
Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not worry about it too much In half the time needed to burn a stick of incense, ill climb down theto steal, and then use the water to escape”
The two boys sat back in the chair; waiting with ‘heart alaruts palpitated’
Suddenly they heard footsteps in the hallway outside, the two boys groaned inwardly Fortunately nobody ca farther and farther away
Kou Zhong sprang up and said, “It’s ti moroaning incessantly, the ugly maid’s voice was heard outside the door, “Come out quickly! Princess wants to see you”
With bitter face the two boys followed the ugly maid down to lower deck and on to the Princess’ study rooly maid pushed the door open and coldly said, “Co and Xu Ziling braced the Princess Shan Wanjing was back into wearing e chair by the desk, looking calht toward the two boys’ faces
Under her suffocating gaze, the two boys felt as if they were half a head shorter, and were overwhellance around, the account book was nowhere to be seen There was really no word that can describe the two boys’ disappoint said dryly, “The other day I was not in a very good ht now just consider h herin person, the two boys were able to clearly see that she did not really care about them; she did not even have the courtesy to have them sit down and talk As if they were only fit to be her underlings who had to stand up deferentially while listening to her bossing people around
Shan Wanjing coldly sized the, “Why aren’t you speaking?”
Full of anger, Kou Zhong said, “We have nothing to say; if you want to say souest and say whatever you want!”
A faint s’sdeeply as she spoke gently, “I can’t be considered good to you, but you brought it upon yourselves Fortunately all these will be over soon; I have arranged a place for you to stay”
“What?!?” Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong exclai,” Shan Wanjing said indifferently, “Currently the nuhu who have the ability to protect you is indeed not many; Li Clan is one of them Based on our relationshi+p with the Li Clan, we only need to open our mouth, they will definitely take care of you”
The two boys called for their uy’s shi+p, would they still have a face to see the Li guy?
Kou Zhong hurriedly said, “Thank you Princess for taking a lot of trouble for us We are the kind of people who areunder another person’s roof while watching other people’s countenance as we conduct ourselves If Princess thinks that we are not pleasing to your eyes, ill i away to everyone’s delight and satisfaction, both parties are happy”
