Chapter 67: Good Man
Atop a hundred-thousand-feet mountain which was substantially far away from Chijing City, an imposing man dressed in purple was standing tall in the strong wind, with both his hands on his back. He had been standing there for a few days silently. The blade-like mountain winds could slice other people’s skin off. However, he considered that as a good way of training.
“Master.” A silhouette flashed — an old man in a grey robe appeared before the guy and bowed, “Regarding the man who master previously asked me check on, I have gathered some news.”
The man softly nodded and said, “Speak.”
The man in gray said slowly, “A genius was indeed born 1300 li away in the southeast direction. This person is the ninth prince of Chiyun Empire, Hong Xiaobao. I heard that he was a carefree person who invents useless toys everyday. However…”
The man in gray did not finish his sentence.
The man in a grand robe said, “However what? Please proceed without any hesitation.”
“However, according to the information that this one has gathered, there are quite a number of martial experts following Hong Xiaobao. At this moment, I already know that the Head Teacher of Saint Academy, Fang Xinghan is one of them.” The man in grey reported. “And I heard that the vice-elder of Thunder Sound Pavilion went to mess with him but got humiliated instead.”
“Fang Xinghan?” Upon listening to the name, the man in a grand robe smiled and said, “Why did he go there? Could it be that this Hong Xiaobao even excels in poetry?”
“Apparently yes. And his standard in poetry is surprisingly high,” the man in gray said. “Fang Xinghan tried to recruit him to be his personal disciple. However, his offer was rejected by Hong Xiaobao.”
“Haha, geniuses are naturally maverick. This is normal.” The man in a grand robe nodded in satisfaction. “En, continue to follow up. It is indeed boring over here. Listening to some stories in the Jiang Hu is quite fun.
“Yes, master.” The man in gray said. “However, this one has discovered a marking left by Jian Pu over there.”
The man in a grand robe stunned and frowned, “Jian Pu? What is she doing there?”
“This one does not know her intentions. The marking indicates that the area is her domain. Upon discovering it, this one dared not investigate further.”
“En, since Jian Pu is there, mistress may be there as well.” The man in a grand robe smiled and waved his hand downwards, “You may go now. Continue your investigation. However, do not get involved in anything since mistress and Jian Pu are there. Just gather new information.”
“This one understands.” The man in gray said before leaving.
“Mistress and Jian Pu are there. Could it be that they are interested in this Hong Xiaobao?” The man in a grand robe said to himself. He was highly intelligent and easily linked every clue to form the entire overview. “It seems like Hong Xiaobao had showed his potential when the dumb Ye Feihong provoked him. And the entire process coincidentally got witnessed by mistress and Jian Pu. Hehe, this Hong Xiaobao is indeed interesting. Even mistress and Jian Pu got curious. Not bad, I think I’m going to keep my eyes open for him.”
