41 Find Them Before Mingyue (1/2)

Jiang Xiao Xian stood straight in front of the assembly hall. A few ministers walked pass him and greeted him with a nod. Almost every one of them was curious to see him at the assembly hall at this time.

After a few minutes of waiting, the young general stepped up when the person he was waiting for appeared.

Jiang Xiao Tian halted when his elder brother stood in front of him, blocking his path. He curved his lips into a smile and lowered his head. ”Eldest brother. Have you returned from the camp?”

Jiang Xiao Xian nodded. He gave Xiao Tian a look over before he spoke, ”Follow me.”

Xiao Tian chuckled at his command. ”Spare me, elder brother. I still have a few other things to deal with. I cannot spend my time accompanying you for a duel at this time. How about if I look after you once I'm done?”

The young general turned around to look at his brother with a piercing gaze.

Jiang Xiao Tian's smile gradually faded. He heaved a sigh in resignation. For years, every time he came back from his operation, his eldest brother would invite him to a duel to test his martial arts.

However, this time, Xiao Tian was surprised when his eldest brother took him to a pavilion by the lake. He watched Xiao Xian in silence as he waited for him to speak up.

”I heard that you had found someone with clues regarding the last ingredients they seek?” Jiang Xiao Xian hesitated before he continued to speak. ”Can people really disappear into thin air?”

His mouth agape. Jiang Xiao Tian was not expecting his brother to ask him about the herb. ”Logically, people shouldn't disappear into thin air. But the old man and his wife was the only clue we had. Even if what they said sounds unbelievable, Mingyue said, she was glad that at least there were some clues. It was better than not knowing anything. At least the herb was not a myth.”

Jiang Xiao Xian watched his brother with a complicated gaze.
