Dong Huiying was pondering a question.
Lao Si was not good with words, and previously, they seldom spent ti alone, so she had not noticed it. But these days, she began to realize; the man who seed emotionless was actually quite temperantal, but even when angry, he would sulk alone, keeping it to himself.
She scratched her head, initially struggling to connect with Lao Si’s train of thought, often guessing for a long ti what was bothering him. But maybe she had gotten used to it? Now, when his face fell, she knew his mood instantly.
This person was actually quite easy to understand. It was just that his expressionless, icy face was like a natural mask, great at hiding the worries in his heart.
"Alright, I know you’re upset," she nudged his arm with her shoulder. "I don’t like that Wang San either, but a great man knows when to bend, right? Besides, we still have important things to handle. Otherwise, this alias would be aningless, don’t you think?"
Lao Si glanced at her gloomily. He wasn’t angry with her; he was angry with himself for not being able to protect her, which caused her to be seen by others.
He really wanted to...
His eyes flickered.
Really wanted to gouge out Wang San’s eyeballs.
It was already afternoon, the sun blazing hot, so she found a teahouse and sat down with Lao Si under it.
She whispered to Lao Si, "Actually, there’s sothing I’ve never quite understood. I’ve guessed that the ’Gold Respect’ of Shenglong Hall could be Zhi Chen. But if Zhi Chen really is Gold Respect, why were our family’s days so poor before?"
Lao Si glanced at her. "It’s inconvenient." There must be reasons, probably because his elder brother could not use the "Gold Respect" identity openly. Additionally, the distance to Golden Triangle was far from ho, taking more than two months one way, nearly half a year spent on the road. Maybe transporting Silver in and out wasn’t convenient?
This was what Lao Si thought, and Dong Huiying agreed it made sense, but it seed they could only solve this mystery after finding Zhi Chen.
Recently, so outsiders from The Outside had suddenly appeared in the Golden Triangle. People from The Outside were easy to recognize—features, build, more rugged and robust compared to Dayuan won.
These people from The Outside acted openly and unabashedly. They were searching for ’Gold Respect,’ and apart from them, Dong Huiying realized, there seed to be another group also in search of Gold Respect.
Across from the teahouse was a tavern. Dong Huiying sipped her coarse tea, then saw a woman in blue clothes walk out from the tavern.
The woman’s attire seed that of a wandering swordsman, holding a sheathed Longsword, and her companions were also dressed in blue, suggesting an uncommon significance.
Dong Huiying narrowed her eyes slightly.
Before Zhi Chen disappeared, he had taken her around the Golden Triangle, and that tavern was one of the stops, which she speculated must be an asset owned by Zhi Chen.
"Should there be any news of this person, bring the ssage directly to Master Chen Ahhu of Fierce Tiger Sect, and Master Chen will then notify us!"
The Tavern’s Shopkeeper bowed respectfully: "Rest assured, we conduct legitimate business. Moreover, the rules at Shenglong Hall are too nurous, and it’s not easy living tucked in like that every day. We’ve long been discontent with Shenglong Hall, so gaining a connection with Fierce Tiger Sect is indeed fortunate for us!"
Dong Huiying had a stroke of inspiration, and then she exchanged a look with Haoming.
