Chapter 262 (1/2)
Hearing the words of congratulations, King Lu looked up at the sky as the sun shi+ned brightly through the clouds He squinted his eyes before he sighed, ”I've finally done it”
”Mister Xie provided a great deal of help You should have a few cups of wine together with ratitude” King Lu spoke, as though he had suddenly regained his poise, regality, and dignity all at once
Seeing King Lu act in such aLu really resembles the part of the monarch It's just a pity that he's not the eldest son Thankfully his disposition is as such, only then will he actually stand a chance in fighting for what's not his by right”
Thinking this way, he then thought about Hill County and spoke, ”King Lu, this humble subject has some matters to see to elsewhere and seeks your permission to leave”
King Lu was taken aback by this request He looked at Xie Cheng Dong and asked, ”Did I do so to displease or offend Mister Xie?”
”Of course not It's just that I've received a transmission fro for your per able to attend the celebration tonight I ht have to leave for half a month or a month aturgent, you can tell your Daoist to contact me and I will be here”
Hearing these words, King Lu fell deep into silence before he sighed, ”Alright, please see to your own problems You have my leave”
He then instructed to his old”
Xie Cheng Dong didn't refuse it, and received the gold before he rode a horse In the blink of an eye he vanished down the long stretch of road
Yuanqing Village
A single oxcart travelled towards the Wei Fae could be heard In the blink of an eye, it was the start of summer The oxcart felt rather humid and warm
”Young Master, we've arrived at the Wei Fae” The oxcart driver shouted
Pei Zi Yun disembarked the oxcart and looked at the driver He noticed that beads of perspiration had formed across the driver's head Pei Zi Yun then handed hihtly more money, ”Here's some extra silver for your hard work”
”Many thanks Young Master” The driver sratefully despite his sweat stained face as he thanked Pei Zi Yun profusely When he saw that Pei Zi Yun was about to enter the Wei Fae is like an entire village by itself, and the people in it are known to be reclusive and extremely fierce Within many kilometers, nobody would dare to coressive with outsiders Please be careful Young Master”
”Thank you!” Pei Zi Yun thanked the driver before he scrutinized the place There was a huge area of arable land which was linked to the e
The Wei Fae e were made of stone There was a tall wall at the entrance of the village, presu happened, all they had to do was to shut the gates of the wall, and the entire area would turn into an inable tower
Pei Zi Yun swept a glance and noted that the fields right in front of the faroell Several of the villagers cleared out weeds, and wore straw-hats to block the glare and heat of the sun Dragonflies chased each other across the large field
Before the entrance of the fae boulders which had been polished smooth A few men were seated on the boulders and played chess with each other
Without further hesitation, Pei Zi Yun turned to look at the terrain and geology of the area He noticed that e was surrounded by eoe was supported by long stretches of es There was a tiny creek between the e
”If one were to search for it intentionally, they would take decades”
”But once the heart sees so, the eye would also see it”
”The village doesn't rest directly atop the Dragon Veins Instead, it's surrounded by the Dragon Veins Although it doesn't directly receive the I protected by the Ie to these citizens”
”Although the people living within this area reat fortunes and wealth, with the flow of the wind and water of the creek, their crops would be abundant Likewise, this place would be exe as there wasn't a great change in fates”
”The Daoist's refuge must be here in this area”
”Interesting concept of using the Imperial Qi to counter the Wrath of Heaven and to protect hi the laws of the world Since the Daoist came here to hide and still received punishment from heavens, his intention was probably for the Wrath of Heaven to assist hion and Imperial Qi as well”
”For the Daoist and the tutor, it would be nearly impossible for them to escape their fates and flee fro don't share the saht not be subjected to the same fate of inevitable dooht have survived”
”I can al Hao, for there wouldn't be such a coincidence anywhere else”
Pei Zi Yun thought to hi still deep in thought He then felt the gaze of ers looked rather nor intent Their movements were also very precise and intentional, which reeked of trained military men
One of the fiercer looking villagers had a scar run down across his face He was seated on a boulder before he stood up, ”Who are you looking for?”
”I a Jie” Pei ZI Yun laughed and spoke When he saw these group of villagers who had clearly received training in the military, he was certain about the conjectures which he had made
As soon as he spoke, Pei Zi Yun felt the killing intent aer with the scar replied coldly, ”Why are you looking for Ele for?”
”Just pass aPrefecture's Top Scholar Pei wishes to see him” Pei Zi Yun didn't think much of it and shouted back
The few villagers shot glances at one another, before the e hastily The reh up on the sentry outpost was a hunter, who held onto a bow and watched Pei Zi Yun as well He had several arrows slung on his back
Fang Mansion
The young rander with a scar across his face walked in and bowed deeply, ”Young Master, Ying Prefecture's Top Scholar Pei requests to see you”
Hearing these words, the young man smiled before he spoke, ”Just as we spoke about him and here he's come I didn't expect him to show up so soon Let him in, and see what he wants”
