Chapter 254: Dangerous Jianghu (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky turned dark, and a breeze blew away the clouds. A bright moon appeared in the sky above the town.
On top of a three-story restaurant outside Grasping Moon Alley, Pei Xiangjun, dressed in night clothes, was lying on the roof and carefully paying attention to the movements in the buildings. Beside her were two long spears wrapped in black cloth.
The big fluffy bird was squatting at the side. It had been flying back and forth on the roofs, paying attention to the situation inside and outside so that they could rush to each other’s aid in time if anything abnormal happened.
It had been two hours since Ye Jingtang entered. From the signal of the bird, everything was normal. As expected, they were waiting for someone.
Pei Xiangjun knew that they had found the right place. The Grasping Moon Tower was in contact with the Prince of Wu, who was hiding. She was highly focused and paying attention to the surroundings.
After paying attention for half a day, she finally noticed that there was movement outside the town. Under the moonlight, she could see a fast horse galloping over on the official road outside the town.
She took out her monocular and looked out of the town. She could see that the person riding the horse was a man in a scholar’s robe. After arriving outside the town, he flew up without dismounting. His figure was like an eagle as he passed through the houses at an astonishing speed and headed straight for Grasping Moon Alley.
When Pei Xiangjun saw this scene, she knew that the Prince of Wu had taken the bait and sent someone over to negotiate. As long as the Prince of Wu’s trusted aide appeared, the bird would be able to track him down.
Pei Xiangjun shifted her gaze to the back. She wanted to see how many people the Prince of Wu had arranged to come over, but when she looked, she discovered that something was wrong.
As soon as the man in the scholarly robe jumped into the town, a black shadow flashed across the mountains outside the town. He maintained a distance of half a kilometer and followed him. From the distance and position, it was obvious that he was following the man in the scholarly robe without being discovered.
As expected, the woman in white had already followed the direction in which the black shadow had left and gradually disappeared from her vision.
Pei Xiangjun was baffled. From these clues, she could roughly deduce the situation. There was an expert with extraordinary lightness skills who had secretly followed the Prince of Wu’s person for some purpose. And the unfathomable woman in white was tracking the lightness skills expert from behind.
Based on this alone, it was obvious that it was impossible to tell what forces the two of them belonged to and whether they were enemies or friends.
Pei Xiangjun thought for a moment and could only sigh that the situation in Wu Province was indeed chaotic. She continued to observe the surroundings…
The sky was dark, and the main hall in the depths of Grasping Moon Alley was already lit up.
After the initial negotiation, Huang Yulong didn’t say much because he was afraid of making a mistake if he spoke too much. He just sat by the tea table and waited.
Luo Ning was sitting in the main seat and gently stroking her teacup. Because she was wearing a veil, she naturally didn’t drink it.
Ye Jingtang stood with his hands clasped behind his back. The expert guard was full of energy. From the beginning to the end, his bamboo hat didn’t even sway.
After waiting for nearly two hours, there was finally movement outside the hall.
Luo Ning turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a scholarly robe walk in. He was holding a folding fan in his hand and tapping it lightly on his palm. His posture was rather elegant and calm. After entering, he cupped his hands and bowed. “I am Bai Siming. 1 have long heard of Madam Xue’s reputation. Seeing you today, you’re indeed extraordinary.”
Luo Ning was pretending to be a ‘life-saving straw’, so she definitely couldn’t be too polite. She postured very well and didn’t get up. She merely raised her hand. “Mr. Bai, please take a seat. How has the Prince of Wu been recently?”
Bai Siming sat down beside Huang Yulong. He actually still had some doubts in his heart. Huang Yulong knew that Bai Siming was worried that the other party was pretending to be people from the Pacifying Heaven Cult to get information. “Sir Bai, don’t worry. When I went to the Heavenly South two years ago, 1 was lucky enough to meet Madam Xue. She can pretend to be a beauty in Jianghu, but she can’t pretend to be the number one beauty in Jianghu..”
