“Old Li doesn’t know how to change with the tides and take advantage of such a good opportunity.” Old Du said with a smile.
These people had already agreed to let him join the army once they had captured Sima You Yue. As long as he entered the army, he would have a regular supply of resources in the future.
“You killed him?”
“Not quite, I’ve just trapped him in my house. After all, we have known each other for many years, and he’s even saved my life once before.” Old Du said.
“I have to say, Uncle Li is smarter than you.” Sima You Yue said, “He has always understood that though wealth is good, you have to be alive to be able to enjoy it!”
“You want my life? I am a member of the army now, if you want to kill me, you will provoke the whole of Great Bridge City!” Old Du knew that Sima You Yue was powerful, but he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes. Even though Old Li had warned him, he still didn’t think that she could be a match against the entire army.
Sima You Yue laughed, she hadn’t realised that he had some intelligence and knew how to raise matters to the level of Great Bridge City. It was a pity that he had underestimated her.
“Have you not felt any discomfort after your advancement?” She reminded him.
“What did you do to me?” Old Du was shocked. He really had felt that ever since he had advanced his body felt a little weak and he was unable to exert strength. He thought that it was from the exertion of the advancement and that he would feel better after a few days.
Now that he had heard what she said, he knew that it was definitely not because of this.
“It’s nothing much, I just added some poison. If you hadn’t caused me any trouble, I would have given you the antidote before I left. It’s a pity that you chose a dead end for yourself!”
Old Du looked at her in horror and he clutched his chest and said: “Impossible! How could I have possibly been poisoned?”
“You’ll soon find out. I am a kind person, so I will let you die knowing why.” Sima You Yue waved her hand after she had finished speaking and Old Du grabbed his throat and screamed twice with difficulty, then he fell to the ground and twitched twice before he turned into black smoke and dissipated.
From the start to finish, the soldiers didn’t say or do anything to stop her. They didn’t have any respect for Old Du, and they didn’t care about his life or death.
After Old Du died, the Captain in charge said to Sima You Yue: “Are you coming with us willingly, or are you going to put up a struggle and we have to take you away?”
“Since you are so sincere, we can’t make things difficult for you. Naturally, we will come with you.” Wu Lingyu said.
The Captain was very satisfied with their attitude and stepped aside: “Then please!”
The soldiers stood on either side and made way for them. Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu left just like that and followed the soldiers to the place where Hua Wu Xiang lived.
As the two of them were being cooperative, coupled by the fact that they knew that they were very powerful people before they came and they were ordered to try not to provoke them, they didn’t tie them up. This way, it didn’t look like they had been captured, but more like they were invited.
When Sima You Yue saw Hua Wu Xiang, he was talking to Envoy Zuo about something. However, when they entered, they stopped talking.
“Commander, we have brought them.”
Hua Wu Xiang gave him a look and the Captain retreated.
“You are the ones who have captured Nan Yu Miao?” Hua Wu Xiang said faintly, not revealing his emotions.
“Yes.” Wu Lingyu admitted openly.
Sima You Yue felt that she had to keep a low profile and decided to let him handle the matter.
“Why did you capture him?”
“He provoked us.” The simple and powerful reason made it impossible to refute.
“Where is he?”
“I can’t hand him over to you now. What if you do something to us once we hand him over?” Wu Lingyu shook his head.
“What do you want?”
“It’s very simple. Let us go and we will give him to you.” Wu Lingyu said.
“You captured my man and you think you can settle the matter so easily?” Hu Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes as he looked at them.
“We didn’t want to capture him, but we discovered his secret so he tried to have us killed. If he didn’t provoke us, we wouldn’t have captured him. After all, we don’t want to cause trouble.” Wu Lingyu hesitated for a moment and continued: “He is your subordinate, that’s why you want to protect him. But what if he has betrayed you? Is it still worth it?”
“What do you mean by that?” Envoy Zuo shouted, “Don’t think you can get away with punishment like that.”
Envoy Zuo and Nan Yu Miao had a good relationship, hence, he spoke out and defended him.
“It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.” Wu Lingyu said, “We have only just arrived in the Azure Dragon Soul Region, why else would Nan Yu Miao be chasing us to kill us? Besides, I don’t care about your relationship with him. You want your man and we want to live, it’s that simple.”
“What secret did you discover?” Hua Wu Xiang asked.
“When we were training in the mountains we saw him with a man. At first, we didn’t know why he wanted to kill us, but later on, we realised that he probably didn’t want anyone seeing him with that person. In that case, their relationship cannot be exposed.”
“Who is that person you are talking about?”
“How would we know his identity? But based on Nan Yu Miao’s respectful demeanor, I think his position is now one of a low level.” Wu Lingyu said.
“Draw a portrait of the person.” Hua Wu Xiang instructed, and someone immediately prepared paper, brush, ink and inkstone.
Wu Lingyu didn’t start immediately, but stared at the paper, brush, ink and inkstone and said: “What about the freedom we want?”
“If what you say is true, it’s not impossible to let you leave. It all depends on the value of the information you provide.” Hua Wu Xiang made an insincere promise.
As if there was no other way, Wu Lingyu picked up the brush and drew Mu Luo Feng’s appearance.
When he saw the portrait slowly taking shape, Hua Wu Xiang’s body became colder and colder. Envoy Zuo had wanted to say something, but after some thought, he decided to keep quiet.
“Are you sure it’s this person? Or were you sent here to let me know about this person?” Hua Wu Xiang held back his anger and stared at them with bloodthirsty eyes. If it was any ordinary person, they wouldn’t have been able to bear his gaze and would have confessed.
Wu Lingyu’s face didn’t change. He looked back at him: “If you don’t believe us, we can swear. Before we arrived in Azure Dragon Soul Region, we didn’t know Nan Yu Miao, nor did we know about your relationship with him.”
Sima You Yue was unhappy, she pulled his hand: “Even if you don’t want to stir up trouble, you don’t have to aggrieve yourself. Commander Hua, you can investigate this matter and you’ll know whether we have made this up. Just because we don’t want to stir up trouble, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have strength. We just don’t want to cause trouble to the Sect.”
“What Sect do you belong to?”
“Secret. Before we left, we were reminded that we cannot reveal our Sect. It’s up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don’t believe us, then we will just fight it out!” Sima You Yue snorted coldly.
“We can’t just take your word for it on such an important matter. Tell you what, stay here first.. Once I have investigated the matter, naturally, I will let you leave.”
