The Night Guard beside Yu Ping winked at him and held out a hand. Yu Ping raised his head and gazed at the sky.
"Delicious."
Once Yu Ping had finished eating, his fellow Night Guards exchanged glances, took out cold water, and swarmed him, forcing a bellyful of water down his throat before scattering like birds and beasts.
"You sons of bitches..."
Clutching his stomach and doubled over, Yu Ping hurried toward the woods.
Han Anbo shook his head with a smile. Keeping all the food to yourself came with a price.
A long while later, Leng Can and Jian Yuancang emerged from Gai Fengyou's artifact house. Both were all smiles as they headed toward the Evil Sects' camp.
Only then did Li Qingxian take out his Communication Talisman Disc and contact Gai Fengyou.
"What did Leng Can and Jian Yuancang say just now?"
"You're here too? Not convenient to meet? Oh... His Highness the Prince of Chu contacted me. He didn't say it outright, but his meaning was clear enough. He wanted me to help those two, preferably by introducing them to Zhou Xuanshan, the Mountain Fate Sect's leader. He also said I would be richly rewarded if it worked out. Sigh, these imperial descendants always put on an air of honoring the worthy and humbling themselves before scholars. That's fine with me, but who is Sect Leader Zhou? He's turned down summons from His Majesty so many times. Am I in any position to introduce someone to him? Are those two in any position to persuade him?"
"How did you respond?"
"I could only say I would do my best, without any guarantees. They said doing my best was enough. I suspect the Prince of Chu understands Sect Leader Zhou's standing, but not how serious this matter is.
