Synopsis: Shen Qiao's Three Views [1] received a 100-point critical hit
Yu Shengyan did not inforht Shen Qiao out
Funing County was not very far froyan's speed, he could haveShen Qiao's condition into consideration, he purposely slowed down and arrived at Ye City in seven days
However, no matter holy they traveled, the current state of Shen Qiao's body was still inadequate for such a long and arduous journey Right after they arrived in Ye City, he was stricken ill with a low fever
Although Cleansing Moon Sect had few disciples, it was not short on yan and Shen Qiao stayed The owner of the residence was Yan Wushi+ Therefore when the servants saw Yu Shengyan and Shen Qiao, they addressed the every care with them
Shen Qiao was very quiet throughout the trip He would henever Yu Shengyan asked hi about hiyan found out about it hiyan asked about it, Shen Qiao just smiled, ”I know the purpose of senior o on an errand for Master Noithable to help How could I bother senior martial brother with even more troubles?”
When he was saying these words, his face was cold and pale, yet there was such a gentle smile on it that made him appear quite pitiful but lovely at the same time
After all, Yu Shengyan was not Yan Wushi+ yet His heart slightly softened, though it was still so rare for him
”If you feel sick, just tell h we still need to arding the thing that Master wanted us to do, I've already inquired about it Even though Yan Zhiwen is a disciple of the the Har of martial arts He himself can only be considered a second-rate expert within the sect On top of that, the Yan fauarded, therefore I can easily finish it alone However, since Master has required the eli you with me when the time comes After I kill Yan Zhiwen, I’ll fetch a woman or a child for you to finish off”
This was obviously the first time that Shen Qiao was told about the actual task that Yan Wushi+ had assigned He looked surprised ”May I ask senior martial brother what is the history of the Harainst Yan Zhiwen?”
Yu Shengyan recalled that Shen Qiao still knew nothing at theMoon Sect, Hainated from the Sun Moon Sect in the Phoenix-Qilin Isle Later on, the Sun Moon Sect was torn by dissension and disintegrated, splitting into these three sects Norainst other forces since we all share the same root, if it was not for the fact that we all wanted to reunify the Holy Sect [2] under our own banners, with the Har the most ambitious one Their leader is called Yuan Xiuxiu, and the disciples there are just like her: happy to use their beauty as a oals However, their ood, so if you ever run into them in the future, it would be better to stay away”
”Yuan Xiuxiu also has an adulterer na This sha are partners in cri these past ten years, they evenMoon Sect, taking advantage of the opportunity with Master in Meditation”
Shen Qiao nodded: ”But since Yan Zhiwen is only a second-rate master in Haruess he has never caused troubles to the Cleansing Moon Sect Why did Master still decide to kill him?”
With a faint syan said, ”Junior martial brother, after your injury, you are almost like a little white rabbit now! Yan Zhiwen's status is quite special As he is an official of Qi, very few people know that he actually belongs to the Harmony Sect If we kill hihten our enemies Secondly, after the Har about theain Thirdly, they have caused us so much trouble while Master was not here; now that Master has returned, if we don't teach the Moon Sect is just an easy pushover? Back then, after Cui Youwang's death, the Cleansing Moon Sect was originally thethe three and also the one most likely to reunify the Holy Sect It's just that Master was injured later, so he had to escape the world and enter a Closed Door Mediation, thus giving Harmony Sect opportunities to exploit for their benefits”
”What about the Mirror of Arts Sect? Have they ever caused us any trouble?”
”In fact, a these three sects, only the Harressive The Mirror of Arts Sect is just like the Cleansing Moon Sect, with its disciples scattering everywhere, each doing their own task and not gathering together very often Master informed only me after he came out from the Meditation, which hy I hurried over As for you,” he hemmed, ”of course it was because you were injured Therefore, to su with each other, but Har up trouble, going too far with it”
Shen Qiao sighed, ”Every wrong has its cause, and every debt has its debtor Since Yuan Xiuxiu is the leader of the Harmony Sect, why doesn't Master deal with him directly? Even if he turns to Yan Zhiwen, his wife and children don’t belong to the et them involved?”
Yu Shengyan fiddled a bit with the fringe in front of the bed, not taking his words seriously ”Since this is Master's order, let's just follow it What's the point of asking soup the roots, they will grow back eventually when the next spring breezes come In the same way, if we don't kill Yan Zhiwen's wife and children, should we just wait for thee on us in the future?”
He stood up after finishi+ng those words ”That's enough Anyway, this is not a business to hurry There are still a few days left before the 7th Meanwhile you should get soood rest After you recover, I'll find someone to accompany you so you can take a walk around the city In ance of Ye City is nothing less than that of Jiankang [3]; besides, it also gives you a rather generous and vast feeling that Jiankang does not offer Overall, it's a city that's orth a look around, especially its red-latern district [4] …”
Yu Shengyan was only a little over twenty, but he was indeed an talented and ro his identity a secret, he discussed poetry and literature in Southern Chen and made friends with famous scholars, which had earned hiht now, just as he was getting enthusiastic and about to go on, Shen Qiao's condition suddenly came to mind Even if Shen Qiao wished, he probably would not have the strength for it anyway So he stopped hiful s froht Anyway, the disciples in our Cleansing Moon Sect areas they please Thus, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future for you to slowly experience it”
The identity that Yan Wushi+ used for traveling outside was a wealthy businessman with a last name of Xie, so the words written on the wooden plaque above the residence read Xie Residence
Yu Shengyan was often not here, leaving Shen Qiao by hi fro the servants of therather sympathetic towards him
Especially those girls ere assigned as Shen Qiao's personal servants After only a few days, their relationshi+p with hi him in detail of all sorts of scenes and local customs around the Xie Residence in order to divert his boredom
Once he started to get better, there were a few times when Shen Qiao would ask them to take him out for a hile he had tiyan had said: the streets were paved hite jade, and the roofs were covered with vitreous tiles Since the Gao family of the country of Qi were sinicized Xianbei [5] people, their city walls, buildings, clothing and customs naturally retained the styles of their ancestors Coance of the South, this city had a bit enerosity and broadness to it It was said that even for the same kind of wine, the ones sold in the taverns of Ye City would taste
The extravagant clothing, the beautiful woh Shen Qiao was unable to witness this with his own eyes, he could still feel the prosperity and splendor of this capital city in the air, with a warm aroma mixed in with it, that filled every street and alley of Ye City
The servant girl assisted his entry into the medicine shop He sat down for a rest in the side hall, while the girl went in to fill the prescription
The prescription ritten for Shen Qiao Right now, he was not much different from a pot for herbal e bowl of the decoction every day Even though Yan Wushi+ had no intention to help him recover his martial skills, he did not let Shen Qiao stay half dead either All the decoctions that he was currently taking were y, blood, andat the same time
As for the current state of Shen Qiao, his inner qi was cole trace left In addition to the aain his martial skills back any time soon However, the fact that he was able to move around smoothly at the moment was actually the result of these couple months of recuperation
