523 Zhi IX (1/2)
”Yo, isn't this General Che? What is going on, why are you here?”
Yan Yuntian was deep in meditation in the imperial palace of Western Capital. However, his calmed expression suddenly changed when he turned his head and saw Che Renmei being thrown out of a portal. He rolled into Imperial Study with a shocked face. Yan Yuntian went from joy to a slight fear.
”So you two do know each other, I thought he was lying!” Zhou Bao's voice rang in his ears. His body emerged from the dark portal. ”I passed by Mingyi Lane just to see, but I was surrounded by his men. I noticed that they were not from Jin, so I brought him here!”
”Zhou Bao, it's you-!” Seeing that it was Zhou Bao Yan Yuntian's horror turned into joy once again. ”I have written a long time ago, I thought you were not coming!”
”Oh, I was busy with the Inner Elixir of Fire Kylin, wasn't I? I didn't know you were looking for me. Now that I'm done being busy, I'm here, right?!” Zhou Bao smiled and greeted Yan Yuntian politely. No matter what, this guy was his elder, his father-in-law. Manners could not be avoided.
”Your presence is enough, no need to be so polite!” Yan Yuntian could not contain his joy. The two began to chat and forgot about Che Renmei. When Che Renmei heard Yan Yuntian say Zhou Bao's name, his expression finally changed.
”Zhou Bao, you're Zhou Bao of Yunzhou, damn it, how dare you? Although you are not listed as a fairy, you are no longer entitled to meddle with earthly matters. How dare you fight me? You're dead meat, you will be punished, you will be!” Che Renmei pointed at Zhou Bao and shouted.
”Is there something wrong with your brain? Yes, I am no longer to entitled to interfere, but how did I interfere exactly? Do not forget, you were the one who brought your men and surrounded me, it was you who first picked up the fight. You guys searched for your own death. Who can you blame me when it was you who were just sick and tired of living?!” Zhou Bao managed to shut him up with just this one line. After that, he did not have to bother about Che Renmei anymore. He furrowed his eyebrows as he asked Yan Yuntian, ”What is exactly happening? Why did the knights of Li dynasty come to the territory of Jin, and yet still so self-proclaiming?!”
”It is a long story!” Yan Yuntian was always filled with anger while talking about this. He used to swallow his anger and wait for it to fade away, but now, seeing how pathetic Che Renmei was, an indescribable joy started to replace the bad feelings. He also found Zhou Bao more pleasing to the eye.
”If it's a long story then take your time. I have plenty of it since I can't meddle with earthly matters anymore. It doesn't hurt to listen to stories. Right, father-in-law!”
”Yes, yes, yes!” Yan Yuntian nodded his head continuously. ”Follow me, let's chat while we drink something!”
”Good!” Seeing Yan Yuntian's excitement, Zhou Bao could not help but to also smile. He turned and once again grabbed Che Renmei by the collar to follow Yan Yuntian outside.
”Zhou Bao, you cannot do this, you cannot ridicule me. I am here to follow the orders of Senior Grand Tutor Hong. The repairment of School of Five Virtues is a big thing. You doing this means you're against the School. Yan Yuntan, make him let go!”
Yan Yuntian's expression turned ugly. Zhou Bao, on the other hand, seemed like he was laughing, almost as if he was watching some kind of joke unfold.
A knight from another dynasty who had become a prisoner dared to shout out the Emperor's name loudly. Moreover, there was a hint of threat in his tone. That ordering tone was going to bring about a lot of problems.
”Damn it! I did not want to kill you, but what I hate the most is idiots shouting nonsense. Since you want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wishes!”
Before Yan Yuntian could react, Zhou Bao's slap had already landed on Che Renmei's helmet.
With a boom, Che Renmei followed his fellow subordinates to death.
”Good, now the world is quiet and clean!”
”You-!” Yan Yuntian did not expect Zhou Bao to kill just like that. He could not hide his laughter, ”This is fine too, him being dead is good, he was an eyesore!”
”Yes, he was indeed an eyesore. But my father-in-law is not someone who can withstand this kind of thing!”
”It was before and it is still now too!” Yan Yuntian sighed. He patted Zhou Bao's shoulders and pointed to the hut in front, ”Come on, let's go over and talk!”
