"But …" The embroidered captain hesitated after hearing Sei Itō's words.
"What?" Sei Itō asked.
"Second Young Master still has orders from the king. He needs to go to Zhaoge within two months to see King Zhou. I wonder …" The embroidered captain voiced his concerns.
"That's fine. I saw spirit energy appear on Ji Fa's forehead. It's the sign of a spirit descending from the heavens. Furthermore, he's very talented. I think he should be very perceptive. I believe it won't take long for him to roughly learn the martial arts in the Book of the Chaos. " Sei Itō's gaze turned to Ji Fa's face and said, "Also, I can promise you that I will let Ji Fa leave this place and go to Zhaoge in the east, regardless of how he learns it."
The embroidered captain apologized sincerely after hearing Sei Itō's explanation, "So Sir has already considered it. I spoke too much."
"Sir, may I know where we are?" After discussing Ji Fa, the embroidered captain began to care about where he was.
"This is Ethereal City." Sei Itō smiled. Then, as the embroidered captain's expression changed slightly, he continued, "However, the original City Lord and the experts in the city have all been taken down. I have taken over as the new City Lord. Therefore, this is a safe place for us to stay."
"Phew … I see. Then, congratulations, Sir." The embroidered captain let out a light breath and then cupped his fists to congratulate him.
"Men." Sei Itō nodded slightly and accepted the embroidered captain's congratulations. Then, he shouted at the door.
Creak. Then, the door opened with the sound of a wooden shaft turning. A pretty maid dressed in green walked in from outside the door.
"City Lord." The maid bowed and called out.
"Take Second Young Master down and find a room for him to rest. Also, get someone to prepare another room, "Sei Itō ordered.
"Yes," the maid replied.
"Ji Fa, you go out with her first." Sei Itō's gaze landed on Ji Fa again.
Ji Fa turned his head and looked at the embroidered captain who was also looking at him. Then, the latter nodded slightly and bowed. "Yes, Master."
Then, he stood up from the ground and followed the maid out of the room.
Creak. Bang.
After the two of them left the room. The door was closed again by the maid who had fallen behind.
"Sir, what advice do you have for us?" The embroidered captain asked cautiously.
"Have you forgotten? What we talked about at the Angry General meeting. "Sei Itō said.
"But …" The embroidered captain opened his mouth, but he was immediately interrupted by Ito Sei. He said, "Although I promised Nuwa to teach Ji Fa for a year, that is that. You are still my captives, so if you can't give me something that satisfies me, I'll give you everything I want." I still, I still won't let you go.
"Are you going to go back on your word?" The embroidered officer's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"Are you talking about the one month promise? When the time comes, I will let him go. But do you think Ji Fa can stop me with his skills? "Sei Itō asked slowly with a smile.
The embroidered captain's face turned pale and was speechless.
"Write the book," Ito Sei waved his hand and sent a piece of silk cloth, pen, and ink to the embroidered captain and said in a light voice.
She looked at the silk cloth, brush, and ink in front of her. The embroidered captain's expression changed a few times. Then, she sighed and reached out her slender hand to pick up the brush in front of her. She touched the ink and placed it on the silk cloth.
"Sir, please speak." The embroidered captain said.
"Marquis of the West Count Changli: I am the city lord of Western Piaomiao City, Chen. I have heard that the Marquis of the West Count is unparalleled in righteousness and loves his people like his own children. You treat your subordinates like your own children. Today, I am untalented and have saved your wife, Captain Xiu, and your second son, Ji Fa on the Nu River. I am very happy and want to return it. However, I have a strange hobby. No matter what, I like to exchange it for the same price. I can only regret leaving my son, Captain, in the city to treat him well. "Sei Itō began to speak eloquently, learning the rhetoric of the nobles of this era.
"Now that the city is peaceful, I have time to think about the Marquis' son, Captain. I know that it is impolite to stay for too long. Therefore, Captain Xiu Itō waved the brush and told Chen of my intentions."
"Fa, the Marquis' second son, I see that he has the mandate of heaven and is exceptionally noble. Ordinary things cannot be exchanged for him. However, I have heard of the Marquis' origin and know that he is of the Immortal Guangcheng lineage. I know that his lineage has a scroll of the River Diagram.
"Xiu, the Marquis' Captain. She is beautiful and beautiful. I see that she is very happy. I want to keep her by my side to take care of Lian Li. I hope that the Marquis will allow this."
"Ah!?" As soon as the words were spoken, Xiu Itō's cheeks immediately became rosy. Her phoenix eyes widened and her face was filled with shock.
Sei Itō acted as if he didn't see it. He ignored her and indifferently said the last sentence, "These two rules cannot be changed. I hope that the Marquis will be careful and not do anything that will harm the friendship between our two families."
After her initial shock, Xiu Itō wrote the last sentence on the silk cloth with a face full of shame and indignation.
After she finished writing, Xiu Itō glared at Sei Itō and said, "Teacher, no matter what, I will not marry you."
"I won't see that. They say that love grows with time. Who knows when you will change your mind? "Sei Itō said with a noncommittal expression. Then, he stretched out his hand and took the silk cloth in front of Xiu Itō.
After briefly looking at the contents of the silk cloth in his hand, Sei Itō once again raised his voice and shouted, "Servant."
"Creak." The door opened and a maid walked in.
"City Lord." The servant girl bowed.
"Find a capable person and send this silk cloth to the Marquis of the West." Sei Itō handed the silk cloth in his hand to the servant girl and said.
"Yes." The servant girl stepped forward and respectfully took the silk cloth with both hands. She responded softly and left the room.
"Alright, you can leave as well. Enjoy your time in Floating Mist City." Sei Itō looked at Xiu Itō and said with a smile.
Xiu Itō didn't say anything. She pretended to bow to Sei Itō, stood up, and left the room with the servant girl.
"He Tu, Luo Shu, I hope that you won't disappoint me." Sei Itō watched Xiu Itō leave and said to himself with narrowed eyes.
… …
Two days later, in front of the Marquis of the West in Xiqi City.
Accompanied by the sound of hurried horse hooves, a horse rushed to the front of the Marquis of the West.
"Who's there!?" Seeing the horses, the guards immediately shouted sternly.
"Neigh ~" The person hurriedly pulled on the reins and pulled the horse into a standing position. Then, as the horse neighed fiercely, the horse came to a stop.
"I'm from Floating Mist City. I'm here to deliver a letter to the Marquis of the West on behalf of my city lord. Please help me pass on the message." The person got off the horse and said with a smile on his face.
"Wait here." The guards looked at each other and said in a warning tone. Then, one of them ran into the mansion to pass on the message. It wasn't until four to five minutes later that they returned to the mansion gate.
"Come with me." The guard who came back called the messenger.
"Okay." The messenger answered with a smile and hurriedly followed the guard into the Marquis Xi's Mansion. Under the fierce gaze of the guards who passed by the mansion from time to time, they passed through the courtyard and crossed the long corridor before finally stopping in a spacious room.
"Marquis, this is the messenger who claims to be from Floating Mist City." The guard reported to the handsome middle-aged man, Ji Chang, who was sitting on the main seat in the room.
"I'm Ma San. Greetings, Marquis of the West." On the side, knowing that the person in front of him was the messenger of the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"You said you're from Floating Mist City?" Ji Chang asked in a dignified voice.
"Yes, Marquis." Ma San replied.
"Where's the letter?" Ji Chang looked at Ma San indifferently until he broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he spoke again.
"It's here." Hearing Ji Chang's words, Ma San's body trembled. He quickly took out a roll of silk cloth from his arms and held it in front of his head respectfully.
On the side, the Captain of Ceremonies, who had been following Ji Chang, walked to Ma San and took the scroll. Then, he returned to Ji Chang's side and handed the scroll to him respectfully.
The latter took it, opened it, and read it with his head lowered. However, the more he read, the tighter Ji Chang's brows furrowed. Even his eyes showed uncontrollable anger.
The Captain of Ceremonies, Captain of Ceremonies, and Captain of Ceremonies looked at each other and couldn't help but be curious about the contents of the book.
Then, at this moment, there was a muffled bang. Ji Chang fiercely slammed the scroll in his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "You've gone too far!"
"Marquis, why are you so angry?" The oldest Captain of Ceremonies asked.
"You guys should also take a look." After getting angry, Ji Chang, who had calmed down his anger with his many years of temperament, picked up the silk cloth on the table and handed it to the Captain of Ceremonies.
The latter bowed and took it. He lowered his head and looked at it. The result was the same as Ji Chang. After a while, anger appeared in his eyes.
Then, it was the Captain of Ceremonies and Captain of Ceremonies!
"Marquis, what are your plans?" The oldest Captain of Ceremonies asked.
"Ma San." Ji Chang didn't immediately answer the Captain of Ceremonies. Instead, he looked at Ma San kneeling in the room and called out.
"I'm here." Ma San hurriedly kowtowed and replied.
"Tell me about the situation of your Misty City." Ji Chang said faintly.
"This …" When Ma San heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Hm?" Seeing Ma San hesitate, Ji Chang frowned and let out a low voice in a dignified manner.
"Yes." Ma San, who suddenly felt a heavy pressure, trembled and hurriedly narrated the situation of Misty City.
"In other words, other than the new City Lord, there is only one expert left in Misty City, the Vermillion Bird?" The Captain of Ceremonies asked.
"Should, should be." Ma San's forehead was sweating nervously as he stammered.
"Guards." Ji Chang nodded and shouted at the door.
"Marquis." A guard walked in and cupped his fists in response.
"Take him down to the accounting room to receive his reward." Ji Chang waved his hand.
"Yes." The guard replied.
"Thank you, Marquis. Thank you, Marquis!" Ma San, who originally thought he was going to die, was shocked. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked with tears of gratitude. Then, he stood up and left the hall with the guard.
"Marquis, this may be an opportunity." After the two left, the Captain of Ceremonies said with bright eyes.
