Dog Butcher was terribly nervous This was the first tion King, and yet he was the only one who’d arrived on time, and all the others had been late

“Old Man Mu askedthery

“Han Wuxian”

“Why’s he stalking her?”

“Here’s the thing…” Dog Butcher took a sip of water to try to ease his nerves, and then started narrating what he and Old Man Mu had discovered in the last few days

Han Wuxian was clearly not alone, and there were clearly soned to Jade City, who the last three days, Han Wuxian had visited seven places in total: five of them were in Southern Jade City and the other two in Northern Jade City — and each with different aamut from blacksmiths, prostitutes, casino owners, prostitutes, old saberitive nobles

“I wrote down all of their na Butcher said as he produced a piece of paper

Gu Shenwei took it, casually left it on the table, and then asked, “What about the people fro Butcher orried that Dragon King ht not be satisfied, and he hesitated for a moment “We haven’t found them yet Old Man Mu said that Han Wuxian’s move, so the Dragon King should make sohtly severe and he wanted to pressure Dog Butcher soh not too much Just a little “I’m not surprised that Old Man Mu would make decisions without my permission, but I didn’t expect that you would also do the sa in the ht way to do so Since you have made a voluntary decision to work forButcher flushed red from embarrassment He wanted to defend himself, but he also felt that it would be a betrayal if he continued to hide behind Old Man Mu, so he just lowered his head and stopped speaking, his feet nervously rubbing one another where he stood

“Your kung fu is better than Old Man Mu’s, so you should be the one calling the shots”

“But I’m inexperienced”

“Old Man Mu used to be a vicious bandit who always acted alone, and the enemies hewith coence, how much experience do you think he really has? Don’t be fooled by his brags When he comes back, I’ll have him report to you Re Butcher was encouraged and replied with a loud “yes” When he turned around and walked out, he gave off a confident air

Nie Zeng had been watching all this carefully fro He took a step forward and asked, “Han Wuxian’s on King?”

“Han Wuxian used to teach you kung fu, right?” Gu Shenwei didn’t answer his question directly

“She did While ere still in the Norland But she hasn’t taughtrecently”

“That’s because I told her to stay away fro was surprised

“Someone once told me that a servant always serves his master with expectations of a reward He considers every amount of his humility and subservience as an investment and expects to be rewarded as this investment increases over tiranted, which is the typical origin forfelt that these words were reasonable, but also that they had nothing to do with Han Wuxian Although he didn’t want to carry that woreater than what he expected, so he was pretty satisfied and held no grudges about it

Gu Shenwei continued his explanation “There’s always a disparity between the investment and the reward Not just between masters and servants, but between all interpersonal relationshi+ps I have to warn you — theMoon Hall is different froreater Youeven favors, but froe favor”

Nie Zeng went numb — Han Wuxian had never indicated that she had wanted so by her peculiar personality, it did sound strange that she would teach hi now”

“And the Waning Moon Hall also claims their rewards in their own particular ways You just have to re”

Nie Zeng nodded, feeling that this warning froht that he owed Han Wuxian anything

After finishi+ng this topic, Gu Shenwei brought the discussion back to the original issue “I don’t want to dig up Han Wuxian’s secrets siood to do so Me and her, while we have a common enemy, that’s the extent of our relationshi+p When the job is done, I expect to cut all contact with her”

Nie Zeng was still pondering over Dragon King’s words when souan Fei rushed in hurriedly as he gasped out of breath, “Sorry I’m late Eek, where’s everybody?

Shangguan Fei turned his head and watched Nie Zeng leave After uan Fei whispered excitedly, “The Dragon King won’t be able to guess what kind of intelligence I found”

“So it has nothing to do with the green-faced assassins?”

Shangguan Fei sence he was about to offer was of greater ireen-faced assassins “I metdoing?”
