shouting from afar was Du Yehu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he ran, the muscles on his body seemed ready to burst through his training clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance was also distinct from the others, with a full face of bristly whiskers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, just by looking at his face, he seemed two or three sizes larger than the surrounding outer sect disciples, someone might believe he was a mountain king from somewhere, not an eighteen-year-old youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because his development was too rushed, he was known as the precociously bearded youth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He burst through the crowd like a bear, wrapping his arms around Jiang Wang, not minding the faint sour smell on him, and kept repeating out loud, “Damn straight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn straight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s good you’re back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In saying it’s good you’re back, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips quivered, that was Ling He.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was handsome, with a full forehead, giving off a sense of composure and tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now dressed in a whitewashed training outfit standing behind Du Yehu, he just stared steadily at Jiang Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handsome young man came close, sized up Jiang Wang from top to bottom before pointing at his tattered clothes with a chuckle, “How did you end up looking like this mess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His name was Zhao Ru Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance was the most outstanding, and the smile on his face seemed somewhat frivolous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only those truly familiar with him could see the hidden trace of tears in his charming eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These few individuals were distinct in appearance and personality, but they all had life-and-death friendships with Jiang Wang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the many trial missions of the outer sect, they had worked together through countless dangers and difficulties, forging deep bonds of camaraderie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jiang Wang’s gaze passed over them, only landing on the handsome young man in the crowd whose eyes seemed to be tinged with red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t speak or make any motion, but just by standing there, he became the implicit center of the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Peng Ju, fifty-seven days,” Jiang Wang said, almost pausing after each word, “I thought of you every single day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thinking only of Peng Ju, don’t you miss Second Brother?” Du Yehu shook Jiang Wang’s shoulders wildly, crying out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling He and Zhao Ru Cheng, however, fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty-seven days was a very specific and sensitive duration—it had been exactly fifty-seven days since Jiang Wang disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Pengju, dressed in luxurious brocade, stepped forward with a smile, “It’s good you’re back, everyone’s been worried about you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed,” Jiang Wang also began to smile, “How could you not be worried without seeing a corpse?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Pengju’s expression changed rapidly, “What do you mean by that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After your incident, I was beside myself with worry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sent people everywhere to look for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wang said solemnly, “That’s why I dared to show my face only today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Wang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ones who attacked you were the remnants of the Western Mountain Bandits, everyone knows this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you actually suspecting me?” Fang Pengju’s face flushed with surprise and anger, “We of the Fenglin Five Heroes are close as brothers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you have been deceived by some rumor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling He, Du Yehu, Jiang Wang, Fang Pengju, and Zhao Ru Cheng—these five were the most outstanding disciples of the outer sect in Fenglin City’s Daoist academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of their like-mindedness, they often teamed up to fight bandits and moved together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were called the Fenglin Five Heroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the suddenly tense atmosphere, the outer sect disciples who had come to greet Jiang Wang started to feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be Fang Pengju who harmed Jiang Wang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t talk nonsense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Pengju is always righteous, how could he do such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a misunderstanding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t think so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Jiang isn’t someone who can be fooled that easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers spread through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We are all brothers here, don’t talk nonsense!” Du Yehu looked anxiously at Jiang Wang, visibly agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His intuition was very bad, but he could do nothing to stop what was to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Ling He spoke up to persuade, “Third Brother, you must have gone through a lot and suffered much recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why don’t you settle down first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inner sect selection is in a few days—it’s a matter that affects your whole life and should be treated with care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining bandits from Western Mountain have been eradicated by us together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s any hidden information, we can sort it out slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have any grievances, any resentments, we your brothers will surely help you, even if it means causing uproar in the county or national Daoist academies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Peng Ju is a brother with whom we’ve made a blood oath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe there must be some misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps someone is stirring up trouble…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother,” Jiang Wang interrupted, “When have I ever spoken out of turn?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cherish this brotherly bond no less than you do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if I speak like this today, it means the matter is indeed as such.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fang Pengju!” Jiang Wang turned to look at the brocade-clad youth, pointing, “I hope you can still be so self-righteous after opening this chest!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did people notice the large chest that was placed behind Jiang Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what happens, I, Fang Peng, will never hurt a friend!” Fang Pengju was only briefly startled before boldly stating, “I will personally see what evidence could make Third Brother doubt his own brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode out to the courtyard, drew his longsword from his waist, and flung open the chest with one stroke!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man emerged from the box, trussed up and gagged with rags, his expression desperate upon seeing Fang Pengju, frantically making muffled noises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Yehu and Ling He also fell silent; they recognized him as Fang Pengju’s close house slave, Fang DeCai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That day your house slave brought an invitation, saying you had asked me to meet at the Moon Viewing Pavilion for a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there you hadn’t arrived yet, and he persuaded me to have a few drinks first, to try the fine wine you had specially sent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wine…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>contained a poison called ‘Yin and Yang Dissipate.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The poison had just begun to take effect when the bandits broke in and attacked…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I personally eradicated the Western Mountain Bandits, but I hadn’t expected that here, in Fenglin City, I would almost be killed by a bunch of their remnants!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-03T09:48:21.959Z","2026-06-03T09:48:27.369Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4257ed0a6103afe15767823e998099154b18e92d1dfa2fddb7d69de1097e145","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-7","red-heart-patrols-the-sky-chapter-5",2464,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fred-heart-patrols-the-sky-cover.jpg"]
