Chapter 37 - Another fated person] Xi Nan King feels smothered

Seeing Chu Yuan"s expression, although Duan Bai Yue didn’t know why, but he knew that he had clearly heard of something, and thus spoke up: "Did the authorities mention the origin of those black robed people?"

"Origin?" Tu Bu Jie thought about it, "This wasn"t made clear either, I got this information from Fei Luan Lou (1) . "

"The authorities didn"t put up a notice?" Duan Bai Yue frowned .

Tu Bu Jie shook his head: "They didn"t . "

Duan Bai Yue glanced at Chu Yuan, and saw that his complexion was unsightly as expected .

Fei Luan Lou is an informant company within Jianghu, the owner is called Jin Liu Tian . On a normal day he simply fans, drinks tea and wine, writes poetry , and doesn"t seem like someone from the martial arts world, and more like an elegant gifted scholar instead . He also knows how to conduct himself very well, smiling slightly at all times, letting people feel at ease . When he comes to the capital occasionally, not only do the famous sects fight over who gets to invite him, he"s also an important guest of many officials of the court . It"s not strange for such a person to provide a.s.sistance to the regional authorities, but as officials of the court, to not put up notices or report to their superiors to catch criminals, and to find Jianghu sects to capture and a.s.sa.s.sinate instead, it cannot be justified .   

"Since the authorities didn"t put up notices, then I guess the commoners also don"t know about this?" Duan Bai Yue continued .

Tu Bu Jie said: "That is of course . "

"When this elder was pursuing those black robed people, did they mention anything? Duan Bai Yue continued asking .

Tu Bu Jie said: "There was a woman among them, who said that they weren’t evil people, and asked me to not commit the sin of killing . I just hesitated a little, and became confused by their demonic voices . "

Chu Yuan nodded subtly .

Duan Bai Yue, in the know, said: "In this trip to the capital, where is this elder staying?"

Tu Bu Jie scratched his head: "I still haven"t found a place . "

"Just stay at the inn that I have booked then . " Duan Bai Yue said, "It"s past this street; Yue Lai Inn . "

"That would be the best . " The tip of Tu Bu Jie"s eyebrows raised in happiness, and said of his own accord, "Where are we going to eat at night?"

Chu Yuan: " . . . . . . . . "

Duan Bai Yue placed a silver ingot on the table, saying: "This senior should as he pleases, this lowly one still has some matters to attend to, so I won"t be keeping you company . "

Tu Bu Jie"s eyes showed great disappointment .

Duan Bai Yue stood up, and went down the stairs with Chu Yuan . After making sure that no one was following them, then did they sigh in relief .

"A "nephew" every time he opens his mouth . " Chu Yuan jabbed his chest, "Talking about usurping the throne the moment he came up, guess there"s quite a few schemes at Xi Nan . "

Duan Bai Yue had anguish that he couldn"t speak, I really don"t know him well .

"Let"s go, to He Yu restaurant . " Chu Yuan said .

Duan Bai Yue was surprised: "I thought you wanted to talk about those blacked robed people first . "

"I want to, but not on the streets . " Chu Yuan pulled him along, and the two of them went into a restaurant opposite the street, requested a private room and ordered some dishes, before Chu Yuan said, "If I didn"t guess wrong, that group of black robed people came from Chao Ya . "

Duan Bai Yue, instead, didn"t think of it: "Why so certain?"

"When the people of Chao Ya entered the palace previously, they were also draped in black cloaks, and were tall . " Chu Yuan said, "Chao Ya is a name of an island, the people there, when it"s nearing twilight, like to chant towards the setting sun to pray for blessings . Quite a few fishing boats which went past all lost their bearings temporarily because of the voices, thus it was also called the siren songs of Chao Ya, it can reportedly take a man"s soul . "

"It"s somewhat absurd . " Duan Bai yue said, "It"s just that, even if these are all true, why would a group of Chao Ya people appear in Cang Nan Province, and why would the regional authorities see them as an enemy?"

Chu Yuan shook his head, and asked instead: "Xiao Jin did mention Fei Luan Lou before, but I didn"t take much note, do you know the owner of Fei Luan Lou?"

Duan Bai Yue said: "I know him . "

"Then can you go and get to the bottom of this?" Chu Yuan said, "Chao Ya has never liked to enter into the world, this time it sounds more like they are running for their lives, something should have happened . "

Duan Bai Yue said straightforwardly: "Alright . "

"You see, every time we are met with incidents every time we come out . " Chu Yuan picked up his chopsticks and poked the fish .

"If you don"t wish to be involved, just let me handle everything . " Duan Bai Yue smiled, "Cang Nan province isn"t far from the capital, I will simply set out tomorrow, and investigate personally . If I happen to encounter the Chao Ya people, then I will bring all of them back to let you interrogate . "

Chu Yuan nodded; once he thought of these messy things, his appet.i.te disappeared .

Duan Bai Yue asked: "Let me feed you?"

Chu Yuan: " . . . . . . . . . . "

"If you don"t start eating then I will really feed you . " Duan Bai Yu picked up the spoon .

Chu Yuan felt it was funny, and took the bowl and chopsticks himself: "Elder Nan is going to Jade Coffin Mountain, and you"re going to Cang Nan province, then what about Yao-er?"

"He"s of course following me . " Duan Bai Yue said .

Chu Yuan said: "If he"s willing, he can also remain in the palace . "

"Better not . " Duan Bai Yu drank his soup calmly, "I"m afraid there isn"t enough insects for him to eat in the palace . "

In the inn, Duan Yao was sitting by the table, staring at a jade pendant, as expected of the capital, the craftsmanship of the artisans were just excellent, and they were fast too, to be able to carve out a "Duan" into the fretwork in two hours .

Nan Mo Yr was rather gratified after seeing it; his disciple has grown up, and even knows to buy some jade pendants for him to wear, just like those elegant misters on the streets outside .

Duan Yao asked: "If I were to present this to General Shen, would it be too ostentatious?" It"s his brother"s family name that"s carved on it after all, thinking narrowly it was just a jade pendant, but thinking of the big picture, that was an entire person!

Nan Mo Ye smiled from ear to ear, and removed the jade pendant from his hand: "Regarding the matters of adults, it"s best for kids to not interfere . "

Duan Yao: " . . . . . . . . . . "

"Stay further away from that General Shen in the future . " Nan Mo Ye rubbed his head, instructing kindly, "This "brother", and "in-laws", if other people were to notice it, gossip will result . "

Duan Yao: " . . . . . . . . . "

Nan Mo Ye continued asking: "Want to go together with teacher to Jade Coffin Mountain?"

"Not going . " Duan Yao rejected at once, "It seems sinister and inauspicious . "

Nan Mo Ye was unwilling to let it go: "Really not going?"

Duan Yao shook his head furiously .

Nan Mo Ye sighed in relief: "That"s just nice, this teacher also doesn"t want to bring you along . "

Duan Yao: " . . . . . . . . . "

Why!

"Master Nan, young master . " Duan Yao said outside the door, "A guest is asking for an audience . "

Nan Mo Ye coughed twice: "Is it General Shen?"

Duan Yao instantly perked up .

Duan Nian said: "It"s elder Tu Bu Jie . "

"To h.e.l.l with it . " Duan Yao was puzzled, "What he"s doing here?"

Nan Mo Ye"s eyes also showed bewilderment .

"Who cares, let"s go take a look first . " Duan Yao was so bored that he became restless, opened the door and went next door, and as expected, saw that Tu Bu Jie sitting by the table drinking tea, a head full of messy hair and dirt all over his body, even his face wasn"t washed clean .

"Yi . . . . . . . . . " Nan Mo Ye"s tone was significant .

Yi what yi . Duan Yao said internally, he"s not that different from when you just climbed out from the grave also .

"Elder Nan!" Tu Bu Jie saw the two of them and stood up immediately,

cupping his fists in a chivalrous manner .

"What are you doing here?" Duan Yao asked .

Tu Bu Jie whispered mysteriously: "It"s course to help the lord accomplish his task . "

Duan Yao: "Huh?"

"Accomplish what task?" Nan Mo Ye couldn"t make sense of it either .

"I have already secretly discussed with the lord in the tea house just now . " Tu Bu Jie smiled mysteriously, using a tone of "only family members such as you and me will know" and said, "It"s of course for the one on the throne . "

Once his words were out, Duan Yao thought about how to avoid this topic for the time being; but it was as if Nan Mo Ye was struck by lightning . Internally, he thought whether if something had gone wrong in his disciple"s head; never mind that he was not able to get the person into his hands and setting a stage to act as a devoted lover, even if he wanted to get a helper, why did he get this one?

Tu Bu Jie was very satisfied with himself, and couldn’t help but describe the beautiful future .

"Then I will be going back tonight, Tu Bu Jie is still at the inn, just in case anything happens . " Duan Bai Yue sent him back to the palace, before saying: "Sleep early tonight, don"t think about Chao Ya anymore . "

Chu Yuan nodded: "Alright . "

"I will come to the palace earlier tomorrow morning, and bring you freshly made grilled beef from outside . " Duan Bai Yue asked, "What else do you want to eat?"

Chu Yuan thought about it, and said: "Dou Fu Hua . "

"Alright . " Duan Bai Yue agreed, and just as his lips got close to the side of his face, he was avoided again .

His personality . . . . seeing the visibly red ears, Duan Bai Yue shook with a smile, turned and left the sleeping quarters .

 It was already late night when he returned to the inn, Duan Yao had already went to sleep long ago, and earth shattering snores were coming from Tu Bu Jie, only Na Mo Ye was still sitting by the table, drinking tea, waiting for him .

"I went to ask Mu Chi Lao Ren today, that even at its quickest the Qian Hui Huan can only be taken tomorrow . " Duan Bai Yue said, "Teacher shouldn"t continue to hoping for it, rest early . "

Nan Mo Ye slapped the table, saying fiercely: "Sit down!"

"What"s the matter again?" Duan Bai Yue"s head hurt, "I still have to get up early tomorrow . "

"That Tu Bu Jie, were you serious?" Nan Mo Ye was already at a loss for a long time .

"Met him on the streets, was afraid he would stir up trouble so I sent him back to the inn first, what is there to be serious or not about?" Duan Bai Yue poured a cup of tea, "He provoked this teacher?"

"b.u.mping into him at random on the streets, and you simply revealed everything?" Nan Mo Ye became even more shocked upon hearing this, "You really think your beloved is a lady waiting to be married off?"

Duan Bai Yue shook his head hesitatingly: "I don"t know what this teacher is talking about . "

"Still saying that you don"t know . " Nan Mo Ye complained, "Why would that Tu Bu Jie know about the matter between you and Emperor Chu?"

"What?" Duan Bai Yue frowned deeply .

"You didn"t know?" Na Mo Ye also become confused, "But he said it himself this afternoon, that he knows about the matter between you and the one on the throne . "

"Really?" Duan Bai Yue asked .

"About this matter, why would I lie to you for . " Nan Mo Ye was concerned, and not feeling even a bit that he had misunderstood it, "If it wasn"t you who said it, then someone in the palace have already seen through this, chaos is going to come . "

Duan Bai Yue picked up his sword, and went directly to Tu Bu Jie"s room .

Is he going to silence him or something . . . . Nan Mo Ye followed behind closely .

Tu Bu Jie was sleeping deeply, when a sudden chill came from his neck; he panicked and opened his eyes instantly .

Under the dim candlelight, Duan Bai Yue looked at him icily .

"What"s the meaning of this, nephew?" Tu Bu Jie paled in shock .

Duan Bai Yue said coldly: "Tel me, what"s your motive in the end?"

"Mo, mo, motive?" Tu Bu Jie was sitting restlessly, before this he still wanted to hide it, but he really couldn"t stand the pressure, and said with a cry: "Nephew please talk calmly, it was a moment of greed, I don"t want that night pearl anymore, I will return you, return you . "

Silence descended on the room .

Nan Mo Ye felt that it seemed like something wasn"t right somewhere .

Tu Bu Jie, trembling with fear, continued: "I walked the wrong way when I got up at night, and mistakenly went into nephew"s room, saw something shining in the cabinet, and, and, and succ.u.mbed to temptation . " He wanted to steal some money, to avoid sleeping on the streets in the future, this is the people of Xi Nan manor after all, temperamental and infamous for not recognizing or helping family, he could be chased out some day .

"What night pearl?" Duan Bai Yue asked .

Tu Bu Jie stiffly reached his hand underneath the pillow, and took out a blue pearl shining dimly .

Fen Xing .

Seeing that gentle translucent blue, Duan Bai Yue didn’t know what he should feel .

Before this only Xiao Yuan could let this Fen Xing shine, so it can be said that it was the spiritual influence of an ancient divine item . But now that this brutish Tu Bu Jie can also let the pearl shine too, it was probably not spiritual influence, but . . . . something awry .    

"Nephew ah . " Tu Bu Jie was still in remorse, in any case put down the sword first .

Duan Bai Yue shook his head, pulled Nan Mo Ye with him and left the room: "Just what did he say previously, repeat exactly without any word missing!"

"How is that possible, my memory is not good either . " Nan Mo Ye shook his head over and over .

With a single hand, Duan Bai Yue stabbed the sword two meters deep into the ground, one would be scared dizzy if they were to raise their head below .

Nan Mo Ye could only tried very hard to recall, and repeated it once again .

After he finished hearing it, Duan Bai Yue felt his head hurting .

Nan Mo Ye didn"t know what kind of mistake had taken place, and was still asking: "Why aren"t you talking?"

"When I was eight, a monk came to Xi Nan manor to tell fortunes, and said that before I am thirty, my life will not be good . " Duan Bai Yue said, "At that time my father chased him out, saying that he was a trickster, but now I see that he could really be a divine monk . "

A foolish little brother, such an unreliable teacher, and in the room there was even a brute who is entangled with his beloved for some reason, no matter how he thought about it, this fate wasn’t good .

Nan Mo Ye was concerned: "Then what about after thirty?"

"It wasn"t mentioned . " Duan Bai Yue said, "Maybe I would be angered to death by teacher first, it"s not impossible . "

Nan Mo Ye: " . . . . . . . . . . . "

Disobedient disciple!
