Chapter 18 Dong Ting

Dong Ting was bustling with noise and people In just one night, figures froathered here; and after having proclai their own ulteriortheir hts breaking out before the day could end

Zhou Zishu felt like this place was no better than a dogat each other and co over soathering of heroes” would turn out

Deng Kuan and Gao Xiaolian took the first and foremost There were only three factions who possessed the Realilist scene, with their strength being their raer; and Monk Gu of Mount Chang Ming was elusive but greatly admired1, known for his martial art skills The most socialized out of all of them was Sir Gao, as he had a wide circle of acquaintances spreading across est influence a the three

He was actually not at all the type of hero with a pleasant appearance and graceful lance he looked neither handsoray temple hair When he talked, there was an evident healthy spirit to hih was especially loud and hearty

One look at hiot his current status

Each person had their own unique aura, and people would flock together, separating into groups based on this invisible element

An exa and Zhou Zishu: One looked like a sickly, staggering beggar and the other a silver-tongued,troublelance, but someone with a sharp mind could easily sense the subtle distinctions to them once acquainted

It was possible that both Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing could blend in a croithout anyone noticing, but after all they weren't that type, so naturally there was no reason for the in would only turn them into unreuards every ti Wen Kexing had warned Gu Xiang against provoking the other man

It was a kind of instinct that helped one identify their peers

This wasn't a thing in Gao Chong's case, however

He could be on friendly ter froe to his status theor old, froht-errant, he could always evoke a sense of familiarity in thee and had actually experienced a part of life together

Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing involuntarily stopped their nonsensical blabbering to observe this infa necessary small talks at random and with politeness

Zhou Zishu couldn't help but think, If only Tian Chuang had such a talent…

But there was only one Gao Chong in this whole world

They arrived relatively early A few days later, one by one ca Lake had very likely turned into a place for fa the line of: ”Ah, You must be someone someone someone, I have heard a lot about you… Please don't flatter e for way too long, ill not stop before they are eradicated, it is natural that I will lend th, so that we can finally hteousness…”

During the past days, Zhou Zishu had to listen to them until his ears couldn't bear it any was nowhere to be seen It was a bit quiet without the otherthe street, wearing new robes provided by the Gao fa with Cao Weining's crowd, as he got to enjoy a pleasant stay at the Gao's residence with delicious food and nice clothes to replace his ragged enseet used to the new clothes He had worn roughthat the smooth fabric felt slippery and cold to the touch, just like a layer of mucus

He shook his head in self-mockery at his sallow, skinny hands and sallow, skinny face This Nail-ravaged body see on its fra to prop up the fabrics He himself could see the wretchedness in his appearance, and a randoh to warrant no further inspection It was clear that even a dragon robe would not ht Wen Kexing was onlyafter him With the lack of those courtesans with their pretty handkerchiefs, beggars couldn't be choosers; that was obviously why the lued himself to hi that ”After three years in the army, even a soill look like a Goddess”? Zhou Zishu felt like Wen Kexing's situation was no different, only he was interested in boars rather than sows

Today he visited a tavern on his own He chose a seat by theand asked for so it leisurely while sunbathing

Wen Kexing saw the other man's back the ot a very distinct feeling fro at Zhou Zishu's back, to the point that he could recognize it ihtened; oftentimes it would lazily curve in a way that didn't at all affect his elegance and gave the i found out there seeue his mind, and one would feel unusually peaceful and comforted the moment they landed their eyes on hi to stare blankly at Zhou Zishu's relaxed figure An eness

It was as if the man's attitude was presented to mock all of those out there orries heavy on their mind but had to pretend that they were the opposite

Zhou Xu - soul like water lenses, body like 4, he thought

The world was boundless with so many paths and sceneries to behold and experience, so how could one coard all of those and keep himself in complete desolation, with no worries on his mind?

He was definitely not indifferent—he had a variety of ely never existing in the first place

Wen Kexing inhaled deeply and cast his eyes doards Soon enough, back on his face was an irritatingly cheerful expression as he walked over and sat down opposite Zhou Zishu He took a cup without asking and snatched the wine pot fro one for himself and commented after a slanced at hiuidly and spoke up, ”Excuse me, can I have another pot? Put it on his tabs”

Wen Kexing stared back silently Zhou Zishu gave hiy person, he explained, ”You still oweda chance for you to pay me back early without additional interest That totally works in your favor, right?”
