Wu… The girl sank into silence. Based on seniority, it was clear that she was older than the short girl but for some inexplicable reason, the short girl seemed a lot more mature and experienced.

Un un. After a while, the girl seemed to have come to a decision and nodded, “Alright, Kong Ming. I’ll do as you say.”

“Un, that’s the way.” The short girl nodded vigorously, and her brows loosened up as she began to fan herself relaxedly.

“So I just need to sing from time to time in Xinye and I’ll meet Bo Yue?”

The short girl nodded.

“… Alright.” The girl didn’t seem convinced, but she was a lot calmer than before, “I’ll just take it that I got tricked by Kong Ming.”

“Why would I ever trick thee? It might be unbelievable but thou just needs to do as I have instructed and it will work.”

“I understand.” The girl got up as she said so, “I’ll be leaving first then. I still have my fields to attend to.”

“Un, alright. Thou need not be too anxious and act too soon.” As she said so, the short girl seemed to recall something and pointed the fan at the girl, “Right, when the time comes, don’t tell that Bo Yue I recommended thee. But should he ask thee if you know of any talents, thou may recommend me.”

The girl tilted her head, puzzled at what the short girl said, but she still nodded in agreement.

“Good luck then, Yuan Zhi.”

The girl called Yuan Zhi nodded and pulled up her scarf, revealing bright, cler eyes s she smiled before she left the thatched cottage.

As Yuan Zhi left, only the short girl called Kong Ming was left in the thatched cottage. She closed her eyes and continued waving the fan as she sank into thought, frowning as she did so.

Then, she opened her mouth and slowly spat out what had been troubling her the most, “Liu Bei Liu Xuan De, quickly leave Jiangdong and stop getting entangled in unnecessary troubles…”

Beside Kong Ming was a bamboo scroll t.i.tled [The Essential Art of Great Peace].
