Waking up in the morning, the sun shone into the room.
Early in the morning, Chu Feng was shouting outside, "Brother Long, why are you still not getting up, Murong and Brother Wang are back!"
He pushed the door open, and saw Long Fei scrambling out from the wreckage of the bed.
The three n stood there dumbfounded, looking at each other while staring at Long Fei inside.
Long Fei quickly put on his clothes and shouted, "Hurry up and co in!"
The three confusedly entered, and after closing the door, burst into laughter.
Chu Feng glanced around with sly eyes, sniffed the room, and asked Long Fei, "Co on, confess. Was there an earthquake or volcanic eruption last night? How did you manage to wreck the bed like this?"
Long Fei covered his mouth, pushed him to sit at the table, and poured a cup of tea to sober him up.
He whispered, "Don’t yell, the one next door is angry! If you fuel the fire, she’ll definitely kill ."
Wang Jie excitedly shouted, "Boss, did you sleep with the princess?"
"The bed’s broken, there’s an issue all right."
Even Murong Chong, who is usually honest, chid in.
"Are you guys deliberately causing trouble for ?"
Long Fei glared at them, almost wanting to hit them.
The three laughed again, mischievously asking Long Fei for details.
Long Fei insisted that nothing happened last night.
They didn’t believe it and stood up to playfully threaten Long Fei with punishnt.
The four n were having a lively ti when a woman at the door coughed and made them quiet down imdiately.
Ji Wanrong stood at the door, blushing, and called out to Long Fei, "Co here, I have sothing to say to you!"
Chu Feng and the other two held back their laughter and pushed Long Fei out.
Long Fei pointed at them and went out, joining Ji Wanrong in the garden outside the courtyard.
Ji Wanrong rubbed her palms, extrely embarrassed, "About last night, I’m sorry! My attitude was a bit harsh, I shouldn’t have hit you, I apologize."
She looked at Long Fei’s face, which seed to have red marks from her kicks.
Long Fei, also embarrassed, said, "I’m fine. I was wrong as well last night. I shouldn’t have joked with you. I’m already grateful you didn’t draw your sword on ."
Ji Wanrong laughed softly, biting her lip, "Do you know my zodiac sign?"
"Zodiac sign?"
Long Fei raised his eyebrows, almost forgetting that Ji Wanrong had lived in the mundane world.
He curiously asked, "What zodiac sign? Leo?"
"Wrong!"
Ji Wanrong pursed her lips, "I’m Scorpio, so you better be careful. Won of our zodiac are poisonous. If you deliberately provoke us, we will sting you."
She stuck out her little hand, making gestures that amused Long Fei.
He asked, "Do you really believe in that?"
Ji Wanrong replied, "Why not, there’s so truth to it. So, about last night, let’s pretend it never happened, okay? You don’t tell anyone, and I won’t ntion it, deal?"
"Sure, sure!"
Long Fei nodded repeatedly, more than happy with that.
"Alright, you go about your business!"
Ji Wanrong humd, her face returning to a high-cool deanor, blushing as she hurried away.
Just thinking about last night made her too embarrassed to face people.
Long Fei watched her, muttering to himself, "Scorpio woman?"
He rummaged through his Storage Ring, took out the outside world’s encyclopedia, and checked it imdiately.
It said, "Scorpio woman, cold personality, high cool, either not in love, or if in love with soone, will be wholeheartedly devoted, persistent to the end no matter how hard it gets. They are poisonous, don’t ss with them unless you want both sides to get hurt."
"Really poisonous?"
Long Fei shivered, put the book away, and returned to the house, telling the serving maid to quickly serve wine and dishes to welco Wang Jie and Murong Chong.
The two drank wine, excitedly saying, "Boss, this ti we ca back with the Think Tank you asked for. This guy is really cunning, just like you said. He went alone to the Imperial Army’s camp, out-talking all the scholars, and made the million-strong army retreat. We are convinced."
They were talking about Guo Cunyi from Xiangyang, whom Long Fei handed over to Murong Chong and Wang Jie before leaving, instructing them not to lose sight of him and be sure to bring him to South Yangtze Prefecture.
Upon hearing this, Long Fei tightened his brows and asked, "Where is Brother Guo?"
Murong Chong replied, "He went to the Southern Capital City and asked us to tell you, seeing is believing and hearing is unreliable, he wants to inspect our group first."
Chu Feng laughed, "See? Intellectuals are just the sa everywhere, being pretentious. What’s there to inspect, just sit, drink, and be rry, and everything will be clear!"
"You think everyone is like you, only knowing how to drink and eat at?"
Long Fei gave him a sidelong glance, raised his wine bowl, "I finish mine, you guys do as you please."
"You, a at-loving monk, laughing at us baldies?"
The three laughed, clinking their bowls with him.
The drink was getting to them, and Long Fei recounted the events on Mount Wudang to Wang Jie and Murong Chong.
Their eyes lit up imdiately, saying to Long Fei, "We vaguely heard about this when we were returning, thought it was just rumors, didn’t expect it to be true?"
Long Fei nodded, "Wudang has already sent an invitation, they have taken the initiative to invite us, if we don’t go, wouldn’t we lose face?"
Chu Feng chewing on a pig’s trotter, "This is called knowing full well there are tigers in the mountain, yet walking into the tiger’s den anyway. If they don’t set a trap for us, I wouldn’t even want to go!"
Murong Chong furrowing his brows, "Maybe it’s not a trap, recently the Spiritual Energy fluctuations are huge, more than ten tis denser than before. Those Soul Ascension Stage masters hidden in the shadows are all awakening one by one. Who’s to say these Secret Realms in the famous mountains and great rivers won’t revive? Perhaps, these are the anti-demon legacy left by our ancestors, appearing at crucial monts!"
Wang Jie nodded his hand, "Right, right, anti-demon legacy. The current situation couldn’t be clearer, in the Human Race, there’s one faction that wants to surrender, another that wants to retreat, and then there’s a faction like us that wants to fight the war. These assets should naturally belong to us."
Chu Feng grinning slyly, "I like hearing you guys talk like this. For the anti-demon cause, cheers!"
He raised his wine bowl and clinked with Wang Jie and Murong Chong.
Long Fei also drank a bowl, laughing while listening to them ramble, feeling at ease. No matter how big the hurdles or hardships, being with these brothers made everything feel brighter.
In the mundane world, it’s different, everyone is scheming, getting up early for nothing, having to consider all these things no matter what they do.
They were in the middle of their revelry when the Ground Rat Demon King suddenly ca to report, saying soone from the other side ca to negotiate.
Ji Wanrong had already arranged for the eting to take place in the main hall, asking Long Fei to join them.
Long Fei and the other three exchanged a glance, having anticipated strategic changes from the other side, but didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
