1843 He Has to Jump (1/2)
After a while.
Wan'er walked into the hall and looked at Meng Wuzhen. She slightly bowed and said, ”Glad to meet you, Master Meng.”
Meng Wuzhen was sitting high, and it was hard to see his face. His elegant voice sounded. ”Wan'er. It has been a while. You are more beautiful now.”
Wan'er said, ”I am flattered. Sister Jade Phoenix is truly the beauty of the time.”
Meng Wuzhen laughed and said, ”Where is the letter from Bai Chen?”
Wan'er turned over her hand and a letter was there. Suddenly, the letter flew up. Meng Wuzhen waved his hand and the letter flew to his hand.
It was so fast that Wan'er didn't have time to react.
Meng Wuzhen opened the envelope and raised up his eyebrows. He looked fierce all of a sudden. ”Wan'er, your master scolds me. Do you know that?”
Wan'er was surprised. She said, ”No, I don't. However, it is between you two. I won't ask questions that I shouldn't.”
Meng Wuzhen humphed and said, ”Go now. Tell him I get it.”
”Yes.” Wan'er slightly bowed and walked out. The Jade Phoenix walked her out.
When the Jade Phoenix returned, Meng Wuzhen was holding the letter and frowned.
”Master?” The Jade Phoenix asked.
”Check this.” Meng Wuzhen handed over the letter.
”Ye Xiao will go to the north of the North Sky in three days.” That was it. The Jade Phoenix read it out loud and got surprised. ”That… That's the whereabouts of the monarch of the Monarch's Hall!”
Meng Wuzhen stood up and kept both of his hands behind his back. ”That's right.”
”Master Bai told us this. What does he want?” The Jade Phoenix was shocked.
”It is clear. He wants me to kill Ye Xiao in the north for him!” Meng Wuzhen said.
”Could it be a trap?” The Jade Phoenix was concerned.
”No.” Meng Wuzhen shook his head and said, ”Bai Chen is too proud to lie about this.”
”There must be a reason. Ye Xiao will go to the north!” The Jade Phoenix said, ”This is the best chance we have to kill Ye Xiao and destroy the Monarch's Hall.”
Meng Wuzhen said, ”That's right.”
”What is your plan, master?” The Jade Phoenix was thrilled.
The reputation of the Hall of Returning Nature was getting lower and lower because of Ye Xiao. Many people died in the martial world. Her sisters died. She hated Ye Xiao so much.
”It has to be true. Ye Xiao will go. This is our chance. Bai Chen is using us, and I don't like it.”
Meng Wuzhen humphed and said, ”Bai Chen did nothing, just sent me a letter. Does he expect me to be his fighter? Isn't it too good for him?”
The Jade Phoenix was speechless. ”But… He is helping us in a way.”
”Why would he do this if he wouldn't get any profit from it?” Meng Wuzhen said, ”Ye Xiao's death will definitely bring great benefits to Bai Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't want me to do it!”
”No matter why he does this, we have to kill Ye Xiao.” Meng Wuzhen gritted his teeth. ”I hate Bai Chen mostly because of his cunning mind.
”When he is using you, he makes sure you know it. You still do it, even though you know you are being used. It feels sick!”
