"I can promise you, but what will I get in return?" Yan Li still looked very calm, but his fists were already clenched tightly.
The young girl giggled and said, "Do you know who this person beside me is?"
"Don't keep me guessing," Liumu Bingjian bowed slightly and said, "I am Liumu Bingjian, I can help you remove the Ice Moon Divine Needles."
"You are that Kunlun successor?" Yan Li said in surprise, "What is your relationship with Yu Liubing?"
Liumu Bingjian smiled and said, "Yu Liubing is the alias I use to roam the pugilistic world."
The young girl said coquettishly, "Of course, Sister Bingjian will only remove the seal for you if you can do what I ask of you."
"That is impossible," Yan Li said, "You have to remove the seal for me first, otherwise I will not be able to move an inch here."
"Do you think I am negotiating with you?" The young girl raised her eyebrows and said.
Yan Li smiled and said, "Actually, before you, there were also people who came to me to do something. Do you know what their conditions were?"
"What were they?" The young girl said.
Yan Li said, "One of the benefits was a chance for empowerment."
"Oh?" The young girl said in surprise, "Who would be so generous as to invite a good-for-nothing like you to be someone else's gigolo?"
Yan Li's face darkened and said, "I do not know his goal, because I refused."
"You are very wise," the young girl said coquettishly, "Because you know you cannot escape from the palm of my hand."
Liumu Bingjian suddenly said, "Since coercion was used in this matter, it is not fair to Young Master Yan. I can promise you on behalf of Caiwei to remove the seal for you first. "
"Sister?" Gu Caiwei looked at Liumu Bingjian in surprise.
Liumu Bingjian smiled at her, "Weiwei, although Young Master Yan stole your Primordial Brightness Stone, you were the one who schemed against him first. Moreover, this matter is not honorable. Since you insisted on letting him do it, you should compensate him appropriately. This will not only ease the tense relationship between the two of you, it will also allow the cooperation to proceed more smoothly."
Yan Li clicked his tongue and said, "Listen, listen to what people say."
He cupped his hands towards Liumu Bingjian, "For miss Flowing Tree to say these words, it's clear that she is a kind-hearted heroine. I haven't formally introduced myself yet. My name is Yan Li. As you can see, this face is fake, and it's quite troublesome. However, I don't dare to take it off, because if I do, the trouble will be even greater. "
"Sister Bingjian, don't let him bewitch you!" Gu Caiwei said.
Yan Li said sincerely, "Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart."
Gu Caiwei pulled on Liumu Bingjian's hand and said tenderly, "Don't believe him. He's full of tricks, and every word he says is filled with traps. He's a shameless and treacherous person. I believe that he'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
Yan Li smiled charmingly and said, "Mature men never explain themselves to misunderstandings."
"Alright, you two." Liumu Bingjian couldn't help but smile, "If this matter succeeds, although I can't bring out the 'One Initiation Opportunity', I can bring Young Master Yan to Jixia Academy to study."
"Study?" Yan Li said disapprovingly, "Let's talk about it after the matter is done."
Gu Caiwei giggled, "Looking at you, I can tell that you don't understand what Jixia Academy means."
"What does it mean?" Yan Li said.
Gu Caiwei said, "Jixia Academy is a holy land of cultivation jointly established by the Sea Link Manor and the Court Of Sword."
"The Court Of Sword?" Yan Li's heart skipped a beat.
Gu Caiwei's interest was piqued, but she smiled tenderly and refused to say more. She looked as if she would tell him if he begged her, which was indescribably cute and mischievous.
Liumu Bingjian smiled faintly and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go to my place."
Yan Li nodded cheerfully.
Liumu Bingjian only needed a few words to ease the tense atmosphere, and the situation began to develop smoothly. It was enough to show that his insight into worldly affairs and the sophistication of human relationships had reached the pinnacle.
…
On the official road ten miles away from Fei Peng Fort, or rather Fei Peng City, a spacious and luxurious horse carriage was traveling on the road.
There were four people sitting in the carriage, and the one sitting in the first seat was the fat School Master Jin Sheng, who was known as the Marquis of Golden Bell and Iron Wall. He was not a wanderer in the Jianghu, but a proper scholar. His name had already spread throughout Northern Tang ten years ago, and when he became the School Master of Northern Tang eight years ago, very few people dared to provoke him, because he had the nickname of Mad Dog. Once he set his eyes on someone, he would bite them to death.
The other three were famous constables under him. They were Eight-Armed King Kong Luo Kaida, Pear Blossom in the Rain, Long Zaitian, and Rolling Dragon Yang Xiao.
Among them, Luo Kaida and Yan Li had met once.
Luo Kaida was holding a mini puppet in his hand. Looking at the faintly discernible thin line extending straight towards Fei Peng Fort, he immediately said, "Sir, that guy is definitely at Fei Peng Fort."
"Yes," Jin Sheng responded softly, then asked, "Who is the School Master of Fei Peng Fort?"
"I remember it's Wang Kun. He seems to be a scholar on the same roll as you," Luo Kaida said.
"So it's him." Jin Sheng chuckled softly. "I've known him since I was at Great Corner Academy, but it's just a nodding acquaintance. He's able to gain a foothold in the Cao Clan's territory, so he's also a capable person. He's worth a visit."
"You're right," Luo Kaida said.
Long Zaitian, who was dressed in a dark blue short robe, suddenly said, "Sir, I heard that Li Ku is also from Great Corner Academy?"
Jin Sheng's smile froze, and his gaze suddenly turned cold. "Is this a name that you can mention?"
Long Zaitian immediately kept quiet out of fear.
Luo Kaida said in a seemingly casual manner, "Li Ku is a sinner of the holy dynasty. How can he be associated with Great Corner Academy …"
"You shut up too," Jin Sheng shouted.
"Yes." Luo Kaida lowered his head.
Jin Sheng felt as if a string in his heart had been tugged, and he could not calm down for a long time.
A suffocating silence continued in the carriage for a very long time.
After an unknown period of time, Jin Sheng suddenly said plainly, "No one is allowed to mention this name in the future. Don't blame me for not warning you if you invite a fatal disaster upon yourself."
"Yes."
The carriage entered the city and went straight to the Dragon Emperor Residence.
At a glance, Wang Kun looked to be at most in his early thirties. It was obvious that he was young when he broke through the Head Initiation.
He welcomed Jin Sheng into the inner hall with a smile and ordered someone to serve tea. After the host and guest were seated, he cupped his fists and said, "After we parted at the academy, Brother Jin stepped into the Golden-dragon Palace before me. Unexpectedly, there was a fraud incident, and it dragged on for a year. It is fate that I am able to become a Grand Scholar in the same hall as Brother Jin."
This person looked young, but he spoke very maturely.
Jin Sheng did not like it the moment he heard it. He smiled plainly and said, "This matter has passed for so long. I didn't expect Brother Wang to still remember it so clearly."
He did not want to talk more and said bluntly, "This time, I am under orders to capture a criminal. I hope Brother Wang can help me."
Then, he gave Luo Kaida a look.
Luo Kaida understood tacitly and presented the little puppet to Wang Kun. "Sir, please take a look. The string puppet broke after entering the city. This means that this person is definitely in the city."
Wang Kun was not surprised and nodded.
Luo Kaida then took out a wanted poster. "This person has two faces. One is called Yan Li, and the other is called Gu Guanlan. I hope Sir can send people to search for this person."
