Chapter 214 Shadow in the Night Woods
Mo Qian stood on the stone steps in front of the bureau, watching the carriage roll away along the moonlit bluestone road, his expression thoughtful. By the time he had been sitting in the carriage just now, the decision had already been made. He would intervene.It was not only because Ximen Yong was Ximen Kankan's father and he could not simply look on.At the end of the year, he needed to register for the Tai Yi Sect registered disciple selection. If something happened to Ximen Yong in this ambush, who would he go to for help with the registration? Even if he could find someone else willing to assist, would there be another person in the same position as Ximen Kankan, able and willing to speak to their own father on his behalf? And there was the question of the relationship between father and son. He had heard that Jiang Qingyu and his father Jiang Heng were on tense terms.All of this together had driven Mo Qian to his decision.But beyond all of that, the most important factor wa
Chapter 213 The Undercurrent of the Deep Night
As Li Yiying said this, he watched Huang Gaozu's expression carefully.When Huang Gaozu heard the name Yuan Shouzhi, his eyelid gave a visible twitch, though he said nothing and kept his face still.Li Yiying felt the tension rise in his chest. If Huang Gaozu simply agreed, everything would be straightforward. But this silence meant he was going to have to offer more.Li Yiying thought for a moment and said, "Brother Gaozu, all I need from you is to occupy Yuan Shouzhi long enough. We will take care of everything else. When it is done, we split evenly. Half and half."Wang Zhaoxuan shot Li Yiying a sideways look of open surprise at the fifty-fifty proposal.The intelligence had come from their side. They were contributing the manpower as well. A standard arrangement would have been thirty-seventy at best, and their own village chief was not known for parting with money easily.Li Yiying had not wanted to offer half, but he had seen with his own eyes what a great success realm warrior
Chapter 212 The Target is Ximen Yong
The two rose to leave Lian Ying's room. Lian Ying stopped dancing the moment Fan Yuanhai stood. Her white neck and forehead glistened with sweat as she called out, "Young Master Fan!"Fan Yuanhai looked back. "Something urgent has come up. Forgive me, Miss Lian. Another day."With that, he walked away with Jie Daohan.Lian Ying watched Fan Yuanhai's hurried back until he was gone, and her eyes went dim.Though Fan Yuanhai and Jie Daohan had kept their voices low and spoken in a room filled with drumbeats and pipa, Mo Qian had heard every word.The poison doctor Shen Ping. Mo Qian sat at the table, his eyes moving with thought.He now knew exactly whose poison had been on the plum blossom needles. The corpse decay poison.Mo Qian felt a strong pull to follow Fan Yuanhai and Jie Daohan. His divine consciousness could cover everything within a hundred meters, which in principle made tracking possible.But he set the idea aside.Both men were powerful warriors, and even if they found Shen
Chapter 211 The Lead in the Deep Night
The powerful man's force met something immovable. The impact came back through his arms, his breath disordered, his palm splitting open. The machete turned in his grip and nearly fell onto his own feet.He stumbled back two steps, looking at the man standing quietly with his sword, and said in a shaking voice, "Great success realm."He regretted it in his heart. He had counted on his third-level inner breath to eat for free at this place and slip out of the county afterward. Who would bother chasing him down?He had not expected a great success realm master to be sitting in a remote pleasure house like this.Mo Qian, watching from the second-floor railing, turned to Jiang Qingyu. "Who is that man?"Jiang Qingyu said, "The master of Huaying Tower. Huang Gaozu."At that moment, Hu Huanhuan came out from the corridor, her beautiful eyes taking in the scene below with perfect composure.When Huang Gaozu saw her, he said in a low, flat voice, "What do you want done with him?"Hu Huanhuan l
Chapter 210 The Blade and the Brocade Robe
The verse was clear and light, sketching in a few words the shy, natural charm of a young girl, innocent and unguarded, vivid enough to feel as though the scene were there before the eyes and alive in the heart.That final line, the girl stepping back and catching only the scent of green plum, was the best of it. It seemed to pull the reader back into some carefree early time, before the world had grown heavy.Lan Ying read it, and her eyes brightened. She carried the paper to the performance platform and began to find the melody. Lan Ying had a natural sense of rhythm and took to it quickly. Before long, she was singing.When the song ended, even Hong Xue noticed the difference and said, "The girl sang just now like a bird set free."The tune was light, the words were clear, and Lan Ying's voice moved easily through it, bright and unencumbered, everything that had been subdued and weighed down in the earlier song now lifted away.Lan Ying looked at Mo Qian with clear eyes and said, "
Chapter 209 The Scent of Green Plum
In his current state of hard training, he had no particular desire to go. But looking at the hopeful faces of his two friends, and feeling the weight of having neglected them for some time, Mo Qian could not bring himself to refuse. He said, "It is a fine evening. Shall we go to Huaying Tower?""Now you're talking!" Both of them were on their feet smiling before the words were out.Ximen Kankan looked at Jiang Qingyu with a triumphant grin. "See? I told you Brother Mo would come. One hundred taels, hand it over.""You were right, you were right." Jiang Qingyu slapped a silver note into Ximen Kankan's palm. Though he had lost the bet, the fact that Mo Qian was coming was worth more to him than the money.Mo Qian looked at the two of them laughing, rubbed his nose, and was briefly at a loss for words.These two had actually been betting on whether he would agree to come.That was quite something.At night, Huaying Tower was the most dazzling and lively place in all of Xiangu County.The
