Synopsis: You’re blind!
Chen Gong asked, “Why?”
Shen Qiao explained, “I saw that they weren’t bothered with you when you were trying to scrape together an acquaintance with them just now Also, they stayed perfectly silent ere present So, it’s clear that they are either guarded against us or unwilling to talk to us No matter which one it is, I’m afraid that your ill die on the vine”
Chen Gong was quite unhappy, although he had to admit that what Shen Qiao said was true “Humph! I know these people all look down on people from the lower classes, like me But there will be a day that I, too, will step on everyone else and make them kneel before me!”
Shen Qiao knew that the sore point in Chen Gong’s heart was fro up, and that there was no way for it to be re to talk him around
Beyond Clouds Monastery was so huetarian food could not have been siee and a couple of small side dishes The side dishes were pickled by the ood
Shen Qiao ate rather slowly, but Chen Gong was fast He couldn’t strengthen his relationshi+p with the people from the Six Harmonies association, so he was in a badback to the side room
Not long after he left, two of the people staying in the same room with them also came in for dinner
Although Shen Qiao was able to perceive sos clearly Besides, his eyes would hurt if he stared for too long, so he simply kept them mostly closed and would only use them if he had no other choice
At the ures – two of which see from their dresses They walked towards hi table
Shen Qiao had some idea about the situation He knew that the Six Haro that was quite important in this trip Therefore, instead of all four of theether, they had to leave two people in the side roouard it These tomen were actually the two ladies who borrowed the little monks’ room
He did not interfere in their business Afterfinishi+ng his congee by feel, he reached for the bamboo stick next to him
Bang! The baround
Shen Qiao frowned slightly His hand hadn’t touched the stick yet, so it was impossible for it to fall over just like that
“I ran into it accidentally Please excuse me, Mister,” a woman said softly as she bent over to pick up the stick and handed it over to Shen Qiao
“No worries,” Shen Qiao took the stick Nodding in her direction, he got up to leave
The woman continued, “Since every encounter is the result of fate, is it possible for me to have Mister’s honorable name?”
“My family name is Shen”
“Is Mister Shen going into the city?”
“Yes”
“There are a lot of taverns and inns inside the city Why did Mister choose such a shabbya place after entering the city?”
She was obviously probing for Shen Qiao’s identity If it was any other person, they would surely ask her back, “Aren’t you also staying here? Who are
you to ood-tehinside the city would cost evenand don’t need to spend the night inside”
His voice was quite pleasant to the ears There was soood i that nore hiard hi
Therefore, when these two people – ere totally incoether to travel on the sa the them ords
However, they were indeed ordinary people who did not have the least bit of martial arts
His ansas reasonable and fair Yun Fuyi could not find any flaw in it, so she gently apologized, “Please forgivepresumptuous My family name is Yun, Yun Fuyi”
Shen Qiao nodded, “Please enjoy your meal, Lady Yun, as I will excuse myself first”
Yun Fuyi replied, “Mister, take care”
Shen Qiao felt his ith the stick and walked towards the door
Looking at his receding figure, Yun Fuyi slightly furrowed her eyebrows, but said nothing
Hu Yu, as sitting by her, suggested, “I’m afraid that it was not a coincidence that these two people showed up here at this tiuy – he see around? Maybe he’s after the goods we are escorting”
His twin elder brother, Hu Yan, rolled his eyes at hih it, do you think Vice Chairman can’t?”
Yun Fuyi explained, “I just tested him He has no inner qi, nor has he heard ofit Anyway, let’s be careful tonight At first, I thought it would be safer if we did not enter the city since there are too many people inside the city and people talk But now it appears that this way ht not work either”
Hu Yu asked, “What kind of rare treasure is in the cargo after all? Ever since we took off, two groups of people have tried to seize it already, one after another, and the robbers are getting stronger too We still have to go down south for quite a long way fro I’ the ite the reputation of the Six Har”
Even though they were not large in nuroup of people could be considered as the elites of the Six Harine, even Yun Fuyi, their vice chairman, came on the trip herself Hoeak could they be?
Even so, everyone still dared not lower their guard
Yun Fuyi shook her head, “Chair nothat he would catch up with us and ether”
Hearing that the chairman was not far ahead of them, both Hu Yan and Hu Yu felt a lot more spirited They continued their discussion on as in the two boxes that deserved such a serious attitude from the association
The Six Harmonies association’s branches could be found all over the north and south sides of the Long River, and they had conducted countless business transactions over the oods they had escorted, there were also treasures froo, they had never seen the higher-ups attach such great importance
Being escorted by the vice chairman in person and received by the chairman himself – this was the first time, ever
Hu Yan and Hu Yu were disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect and they were also well recognized experts in the pugilistic world In addition to that, they were also still young Two groups of robbers in a row in no way dispelled their fighting spirits; on the contrary, it e
Unlike them, Yun Fuyi actually had secret concerns “No h alert till we meet chairman”
…
That night
The outskirts was quieter than inside the city So quiet that it felt so
There wasn’t ht in the tiny monastery; hence everyone went to bed early
Other than the pair of brothers, Hu Yan and Hu Yu, there were also two hall ers of the Six Harmonies association, both of whom exceeded the Hu brothers in martial arts All four of them slept in the same bed with Shen Qiao A lineup like this would still be considered i knew little of that world, but he are that all these people were quite so
In order to join the Six Harmonies association, he tried every trick he could think of, hoping to wor friends with thereat effort, it was to no avail They si to him only halfheartedly – they were actually kinder towards Shen Qiao co
