Book 12: Chapter 22

“Whats the matter”

Master Qi jolted out of her thoughts, a clear indication that she never noticed Li Muye approach, and torqued around as though she was going to tear an assailants head off, startling Li Muye. “Your Highness… I-I am fine.”

Tapping his chest, Li Muye rhetorically questioned, “Youre fine I called you three times, but you didnt hear me. Youre fine”

Master Qi poked her tongue out.

Li Muye, unaware of his first meeting with death, shook his head. “I heard you found the thief, so why didnt you bring it back yesterday”

On account of their rank, Northern Wondrous Warriors clan implemented the “Prince Faction”, as well. Master Qi was one of the clans selected adepts for her extraordinary skill in her age bracket. As a matter of fact, she defeated the long-missing-in-action ranked Cloud Combing Wind Hairpin Hero. If her gender wasnt a secret, not only would she be on Seventeen Hidden Wyrms rankings but also on Martial Angels rankings. Therefore, Li Muye was confident in her strength.

“The enemy… is cunning, unyielding, despicable, ah, sorry, I meant he is very bad… despite his honest appearance…”

Li Muye felt frustrated as it felt his judgement of her was wrong. “What is with your stammering and stuttering And why are you wearing a mask at home” He reached for Master Qis mask.

“Dont!”

Master Qi was too slow in stopping Li Muye from removing the white male mask. Anyone who saw her face in that moment would understand why her family insisted she wore a mask while living in the pugilistic world – she wouldnt even be scary when she was scowling.

“Why is your face so red”

“R-red Is it N-no it isnt. H-he angered me!”

“You mean… hes tough”

“Touch Yes, the next time I see him, Ill make sure he can never touch again!”

It wasnt Li Muyes first time seeing Master Qis childish side. Howbeit, she was usually mature.

Realising her loss of composure, Master Qi clasped her hands and, in a soft voice, explained, “I ran into a bit of a problem in my training.”

Li Muyes face muscles finally relaxed. “I see. Its easy to make mistakes when learning a discipline as advanced as yours. Seeing as youre not in the best shape, Ill assign the task to someone else. The iron seal is the cornerstone of the plan. Since Mother wont finance me, I have no choice but to finance myself.”

“Use me as you see fit. Although… I have a bit of a problem, it is not a reason to impact your goal.”

“Thats enough for me. Friends arent supposed to be petty with each other.” Li Muye stopped to think for a bit. “Send Luanshi Chuankong. We need someone ruthless for an easy success.”

“Whoa, thats overkill, dont you think You spent ten thousand taels to hire him, yet youre sending him after a student”

“Do I have a choice Liu Shan Men has gotten involved. Without the seal, theres no money.” Li Muye peered into the heavens. “The Seven Champion White Princes will make big moves soon. I need to get ahead.”

“I remember you said theyd definitely oppose the imperial court. Do you think there will be war”

“Dont know. Theyll decide whether they want war or peace within the next few days. Either way, the way they spread their power will change drastically henceforth. Whoever is first will get the biggest piece of the cake. Whoever fights with me for my iron seal must go. By the way, what did you say his name was”

“Zhao Xin says his name is Hong Jiu, but I heard others refer to him as Feizhen.”

“What are you looking at! Never seen someone forced to stand as punishment! Go back to class to repay the country, or Ill report you for not paying your taxes!” That was the twenty-ninth time I had to shoo off a student for stopping to check out theI will not stand up Principal Huang again sign I had hanging off my neck.

Uncle Huang was too much. All I did was forget the homework he left for me and made him stay at school overnight to wait for me, big deal. By my rights of the constitution, the punishment was inhumane. Well, I guess not having to take the daily test wasnt too bad, though.

“Why are you here”

“Hello, Professor Xie.”

“This is todays test paper. Dont forget to complete it while youre standing here. Ill come collect it off you later.”

… This is inhumane!

“Here you are.”

I looked up to see the legendary He Shi in three times more bandages than the first time I met him. “Model Student, why arent you attending class Wagging classes”

“Professor Xie allowed me some extra time off due to my injuries.” He Shi sat down beside me.

Oi, oi, I know your leg is broken, but it doesnt have to start acting up when youre around me, specifically, does it

Following a long silence between us, He Shi voiced, “… Li Muye was the one who ordered his people to break my leg.”

I never asked! You prideful people are so tiring to handle. You feel uneasy if you dont repay someone for helping you, but youre too prideful to just express your gratitude despite having principles and being a nice guy deep down! Im past the age of trying to socialise with your kind!

“My opinion clashed with his, which displeased him. Though it wasnt anything major, he holds the belief that, once I am assigned an official post, I will cause His Highness Blue Prince trouble, so he decided to strike pre-emptively. However, he didnt expect Lu Feiming to be such a coward and kill someone here or for news of it to reach His Majesty.”

You sure know a lot.

“I know youre looking into the case. Li Muye will get off scot-free because His Majesty will protect him. Just tell them I was unlucky and tripped while walking.”

“Really It wont even be considered a workplace injury.”

“You saved me once; I owe it to you. Besides, you cant help me, can you”

Arent you the nice guy I knew you were the prideful type.

“Hey.”

I cast my gaze in the direction of the foreign voice. He was a burly man armed to the teeth smiling at us.

“Which one of you is Feizhen”

Glossary

Tough and touch – This is a rewritten joke. The characters the author chose for “tough” include the character for “hand”. Hearing “hand”, Master Qi responds, “Hand Yes, Ill make sure to chop his hand off the next time I see him.” In my opinion, using broken English to keep the joke isnt a wise choice in this scenario, so I sacrificed the joke.-
