The Blame? What Blame?

093

"This... did you really make this?"

Shi Wu raised his head and stared blankly at Jiang Fu.

Jiang Fu removed the bones from a piece of steamed sea bass and placed it in Shi Jiu's bowl.

He laughed somewhat arrogantly, "Yes."

"Is it tasty?"

Shi Wu watched Shi Jiu ate the fish that Jiang Fu had picked out.

His eye twitched violently.

"It doesn't taste good!"

"It doesn't taste good at all!"

As they were talking.

He reached for the braised Red-Braised Pork with his chopsticks, which was emitting an enticing aroma.

Snap!

Just a moment before Shi Wu's chopsticks touched that piece of Red-Braised Pork.

It seemed to be blocked by something.

The chopsticks bounced up gently.

Shi Jiu raised her eyes and said with displeasure, "If it doesn't taste good, then don't eat it."

Shi Wu: "... Delicious!"

Shi Jiu lowered her head and picked up another piece of Sichuan Boiled Pork. "Mmm, this is delicious!"

Shi Wu swallowed hard.

Finally, I got to eat that glistening, translucent Red-Braised Pork.

Then, Shi Wu's mind was shaken once again.

Holy crap!

This Red-Braised Pork absolutely the best I've ever eaten in my life!

The way he looked at Jiang Fu subtly changed.

... If I had younger sister's husband could cook so well, I would love it.

It seems alright...

"No! That won't do!"

"I am Shi Wu! The Shi Family Fifth Young Master, Transcendent Teacher at Tianhuang Martial Arts University!"

"How could I possibly be bribed by that Little Blondie with a piece of Red-Braised Pork!"

"... Huh? These are Blue Abyss Emperor Crab legs? Why are they completely different from the Blue Abyss Emperor Crabs I've eaten before...?"

What kind of rubbish was all that I used to eat?!

With Blue Abyss Emperor Crab leg stuffed in his mouth, Shi Wu began to weigh the options in his mind.

"One meal won't do..."

"Then three meals... no, at least ten!"

"No, no! Not even ten meals!"

"I, Shi Wu, am not the kind of Fifth Brother-in-Law who can be bought off with a few meals!?"

This meal.

Eight dishes and one soup.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu didn't eat much.

The vast majority of them ended up in Shi Wu's stomach.

At last.

Shi Wu slurped his chopsticks, still somewhat unsatisfied.

He said with a regretful expression, "Is that all?"

Jiang Fu rested her chin on her hand, "I never expected you to be such a big eater."

Eight dishes and a soup, all with generous portions.

Compared to usual, he and Shi Jiu ate more than twice as many dishes as usual, including six dishes and a soup.

I knew my Fifth Brother-in-Law could eat so much.

I took it out again Multiply by Eleven.

Shi Wu's expression stiffened slightly. "Actually, it's alright. I didn't used to be able to eat this much..."

Shi Jiu with some disdain, "Alright, we've finished eating. It's time to get down to business."

Shi Wu let out an "Ah".

Yes, it's important!

That Python that caused my younger sister to be kidnapped by that Little Blondie!

Shi Wu left the lounge with some reluctance.

They went to prepare the Python's corpse.

Shi Jiu looked at Jiang Fu, "Next...?"

Jiang Fu smiled sinisterly, "The people in District One have already made their move, trying to turn me into Expanded-Enrollment Candidate."

"Of course I'm going to retaliate... Go to District One and turn their precious darling into Expanded-Enrollment Candidate!"

Shi Jiu's eyes lit up. "Starting from the Wilderness Zone outside Ninth District?"

Jiang Fu nodded, "If we go through the city, they'll definitely spot us. We need to be prepared."

Whether they were obstructed or Li Xiuchuan was hidden away.

Both are somewhat of a waste of time.

"Let's head through the Wilderness Zone!"

"Moreover, we walked in openly, letting them all see that we went to the Wilderness Zone through the Safety Passage in Ninth District."

The rain inside the City Walls had stopped.

But outside the City Walls, in the Wilderness Zone, this rain was caught Multiply by Ten Jiang Fu!

Rainy days and Psychic are a perfect match.

Shi Jiu nodded Shi Jiu; she immediately understood why Jiang Fu had brought Shen Yan along.

"... At that time, let Shen Yan take action!"

"Yes, let Shen Yan take the blame!"

Snap!

The two couldn't help but give each other a high five.

Immediately.

At the same time, he took out Concealing Breath Spray.

It sprayed towards the other person.

The news that Jiang Fu had appeared at the Ninth District Martial Artist Guild.

This immediately attracted the attention of many Martial Artists.

Therefore...

When Jiang Fu appeared at the entrance of the Safety Passage.

A considerable number of people have already gathered here.

"Ah, it really is Jiang Fu!"

"No, he went to the Wilderness Zone without even wearing Combat Uniform?"

"This Jiang Fu is simply too arrogant!"

Now.

The Guard on duty at the entrance of the Safety Passage couldn't help but snort coldly upon seeing Jiang Fu.

Where is your sword?

"Why aren't you carrying it on your back anymore?!"

Jiang Fu opened her mouth, then stammered, "Didn't you say that it's easy to get stuck if you carry it on your back...?"

The Guard glared at him and said, "You're a Psychic! Where else are you going to put your sword if not on your back?"

Jiang Fu patted her waist. "Um, I'll listen to you, I've hung it on my waist."

Guard:"..."

He turned his face away.

I don't look at Jiang Fu.

"It's still raining outside. Even though you're Psychic, you still need to be careful!"

Jiang Fu raised the hand holding the sword and waved it at him, "I know!"

The Guard snorted, "Arrogant high school student! This time he actually went out wearing a hoodie!"

"The monkeys outside are probably going to suffer from the rain."

"Hey, hey, hey, you people!"

"Jiang Fu is telling you that he has already left... so go back to what you were doing!"

The surrounding Martial Artists. "..."

At the same time.

Inside the Martial Artist Guild.

Shen Yan was already dressed and ready to go.

Suddenly, I was pulled back by a strong force.

"Guild President... Xia Fan!! What are you doing?"

Xia Fan was dressed in Advanced Combat Uniform, and had already sprayed himself with Concealing Breath Spray.

"Supervisor Shen, you're only Intermediate Martial Artist; there are some things you can't handle."

"Let the Guild President come!"

Shen Yan: "Uh... ah?"

Xia Fan said with a serious expression, "This time, the matter of pleasing the Little Ancestor... oh no, I mean the matter of going to the Wilderness Zone with Jiang Fu, is entrusted to me!"

"You stay in the city and lead the public opinion... You must get your hands on that Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree no matter what."

"As you know, Spirit Fruit Trees possess sentience. Spirit Fruit Trees of the Fourth Tier or higher cannot survive in human cities... The Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree is the strongest Spirit Fruit Tree that humans can possess."

"Therefore, this time, we must help Jiang Fu get her hands on that Third-Tier Spirit Fruit Tree no matter what!"

"My brain doesn't work as fast as yours!"

Shen Yan: "..."

Damn it!

That sounds so grand and righteous!

He's just trying to please his Little Ancestor!

Shen Yan gritted her teeth. "Weren't you following that fifth young master of the Shi Family all day? You should just try to please him, why do you have to compete with me!"

Xia Fan curled her lip, "Shi Family Master Shi is Young Master Shi, and Shi Family Little Ancestor is this Little Ancestor!"

"If he weren't the Little Ancestor's older brother, I wouldn't bother serving him at all."

After what happened this morning...

Xia Fan has already summarized his experience.

Trying to please the Little Ancestor's older brother is a completely futile effort.

Jiang Fu is the only weakness of the Little Ancestor.

"Alright, I'm off!"

While they were talking.

Xia Fan quickly stripped Shen Yan of his Combat Uniform.

Then he walked away.

Shen Yan: "..."

"Xia Fan, you've ruined my plans time and time again. If it happens again... we'll see next time."

... We can't beat them.

Shen Yan lay on the ground, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.

The surprise I prepared last time.

And this time too.

I had originally hoped to use this opportunity to mend my relationship with the Little Devil.

As a result, Xia Fan ruined it again.

Wilderness Zone.

The rain wasn't very heavy.

But there was no sign of it stopping.

Based on the situation inside the City Walls.

Jiang Fu estimated that the rain would last for at least another ten days.

"Hey? It's you?"

Jiang Fu got into the back seat of the Off-road Vehicle.

He looked at Xia Fan in the driver's seat with a surprised expression.

Shi Jiu was also a little curious.

Xia Fan chuckled, "Shen Yan said he has more important things to do."

"So I was chosen to come!"

Shi Jiu poked Jiang Fu.

"Could it be that Shen Yan saw through our plan to make him take the blame?"

Jiang Fu nodded. "They agreed on everything last time, but they went back on their word this time."

"That Supervisor Shen is really cunning!"

Xia Fan's face stiffened. "Scapegoat? What scapegoat?"
