Wu Zhu stood in the shop, facing the quiet street He didn't react The local residents had all rushed to the market to see what all the hubbub was about, so the streets were empty
”The building ent to yesterday burned down,” continued Fan Xian
Wu Zhu still made no response
Fan Xian grabbed his sleeve, speaking in a fir to deal with Zhou, don't you? I even had to get randmother to clean up after me!”
Wu Zhu turned towards hi to , that you don't kno to deal with such things, so you've lost your self-estee my pity?”
His voice seemed almost curious, much livelier than his usual emotionless tone
Fan Xian smiled ”I don't have that ood about killing a man And”
He stopped talking Deep down, he felt that if he hadn't had Fei Jie and Wu Zhu as teachers after having coer than any other child of nobility, and ht in this power struggle and surrounded by a web of secrets, it seeht to ride the waves of power also had to be proficient in such underhanded and intricate means

Fei Jie sat in his chair, sipping tea, looking at the strange smile that crept across the lips of his superior officer ”Which of us is the real old pervert?” he thought
