Was he showing off again?
Usually, even the sound of a fart scared him into hiding miles away, but as soon as no one else was around, he started putting on airs...
Ren Ye was full of doubt, but when he looked up at Fenglin's calm face and deep eyes, a measure of trust suddenly rose within him.
I hope you're a normal Crouching Dragon, without any "gambling" involved.
Ren Ye gazed at the eternal night and starry sky and asked softly, "How will you open the gateway to the North?"
"Soon. Pass through Loushan Pass, return to Qingliang Prefecture, and act as circumstances dictate." Fenglin looked at him and smiled. "When the time comes, I'll present you with a second great gift."
"So mysterious." Ren Ye muttered, then asked with perfect confidence, "Then how do we get through Loushan Pass?"
"No idea." Fenglin shook his head decisively.
"Shit, our lives are in danger, and you don't even know how we're getting out, yet you dare talk about expanding our territory?" Ren Ye was stunned. "There's absolutely nothing backing up that bullshit."
"Getting out is your job." Fenglin was speechless. "When your father was around, he never asked me about every little matter of pissing and shitting."
"I'm responsible for getting us out, and you're responsible for making me soar?" Ren Ye asked tentatively.
"Your Highness is truly gifted. An apt description." Fenglin smiled and nodded.
"Apt, my ass. You make grand promises, but you don't do a single bit of actual work. I can't believe I bought your bullshit." Ren Ye rolled his eyes and thought helplessly, Forget it. It's getting late. I'll take Er Leng into town for a look. If an opportunity comes, we'll get out first and worry about the rest later.
Fenglin asked no further
