Chapter 220: Miss Shi, You Wouldn't Want That, Would You?

"Brother Ren, are you trying to scare me to death?"

Shi Anqi squinted his eyes, staring at Ren Yidao with a resentful expression; his pouting lips were enough to hang an oil bottle from.

So aggrieved.

Watching him put on such an act, Ren Yidao smiled and apologized, while muttering to himself in his heart.

So disgusting.

Can you look in a Mirror before making that expression?

Is this the expression your character is supposed to be playing?

Ah!?

Don't you dare hurt my eyes, damn it.

If it were Shi Xue, that would be a feast for the eyes!

When you do it, it's an outrage against Heaven and morality! It's offensive to public decency!

With his heart constantly outputting, Ren Yidao silently took a step back, distancing himself from this disgusting old man.

Don't touch me!

However, although he appeared somewhat troubled and apologetic on the surface, Ren Yidao was actually quite delighted inside.

Truly interesting.

This self-destruction thing really is useful.

As expected, no matter where you are, people are always compromising.

If you say you want to open a window, they won't agree.

But if you say you want to tear down a wall, they will agree to let you open the window.

The house-tearing effect is so useful!

That guy called Chu Yiping, aren't you so tough?

How come you lost your cool the moment you heard we were going to the Land of Ultimate Bliss together?

Heh.

Little trash.

You don't want to go, and I don't even want to go with you.

I was just scaring you, hehe!

"Speaking of which, what's the situation with those two guys? How did they sneak in?"

Shi Anqi didn't know what Ren Yidao was thinking, and had his subordinates tidy up the ruins of the Tianfu Teahouse.

Then, he pointed at Shi Guangyin, who had fainted from exhaustion and was down to his last breath, wondering what kind of sacred beings these two naked men were.

Shi Anqi had seen his fair share of storms and waves, so he didn't find it strange, just curious why they appeared in this scene.

This is just too out of place!

"No, these two came first; that group of guys are the ones who are the visitors."

"As for these two... well, it's a private grudge, I suppose?"

Ren Yidao found it hard to describe the relationship between the two.

Seeking revenge?

Subordinate rebelling against superior?

The arrival of justice?

... Uh, love born from hate?

Hard to judge.

"Oh right, this guy seems to be called Shi Guangyin... is he from your family?"

Regarding the enemy mentioned by Hong Guoyi, Ren Yidao hadn't bothered to learn anything, only remembering the name after hearing it shouted a few times during the revenge.

Whether it was the Shi of 'Shi Family' or the Shi of 'poetry', he didn't know, nor did he care.

If it were the Shi Family, then it would be an unfortunate case of the flood washing away the Dragon King Temple, and Ren would just have to drink three penalty cups to resolve it.

If it were the Shi family...

Oh, the Shi family, never heard of them.

Can your cards be bigger than mine, Ren Yidao?

Anyway, with the favor Ren Yidao currently enjoyed, as long as he didn't poach from Li Long's Inner Palace, there likely wouldn't be any major trouble.

"Guangyin? Hmm... I don't have anyone by that name in my family; he must be from the Shi family."

Shi Anqi thought for a moment, and upon discovering there was no such person in his own family, he didn't take it to heart.

The Shi family?

In the eyes of others, they might be considered a noble clan, but in his eyes, they were just a family of pedantic scholars.

All they knew was how to play with ink and paper all day, without much real power in their hands.

"Since he's not from your family, then I'm relieved."

Ren Yidao nodded indifferently and smiled:

"They have a grudge between them; one is seeking revenge and the other is getting beaten, that's about it."

"As for me, I just saw that he was pitiful and gave him a chance."

Help?

Shi Anqi glanced at the miserable scene over there and shook his head with a sigh.

A little bit of help was enough to let an ordinary person without the strength to truss a chicken beat a family disciple with some Dao Technique into this state.

You kid, you're quite fair.

To be able to say something so shameless so naturally, you are suited to go mix in the imperial court!

But these words were only hidden in his heart and were not truly spoken aloud.

It is enough to just think about such things; if they were actually carried out, wouldn't that be disastrous?

The imperial court is already chaotic enough, and his big brother is not exactly a clever person, so he should stop increasing the difficulty for his big brother.

For the sake of the few remaining hairs on the top of Shi Mingwu's head, Shi Anqi honestly kept his mouth shut.

"Speaking of which, Brother Shi appearing here this time, I'm afraid it isn't just a coincidence, is it?"

Having known Shi Anqi for so long, this was the first time he had seen him dressed so formally.

Don't you have a wife?

Why are you dressed so handsomely?

Quite satisfied with his own Great General armor, Shi Anqi displayed it proudly and laughed:

"This outfit, aside from being inconvenient to move in, is good in every other way."

Regarding the truth of this statement, Ren Yidao remained noncommittal.

Old brother, why are you so humorous?

No matter how absurd Beigan is, they wouldn't let a general wear armor that restricts the display of their strength.

However, since he was unwilling to say more, he was too lazy to ask for the details.

I am not envious anyway.

I have clothes sewn by Senior Sister herself; do you?

Heh.

Shi Anqi:?

Why do I feel like I've been looked down upon?

Giving the smug Ren Yidao a puzzled look, Shi Anqi smacked his lips and said:

"As for why I am here, that is a long story."

Looking up at the Heaven, Shi Anqi cast a glance at a subordinate, who immediately dismounted and led the horse over.

Handing the reins to Ren Yidao, Shi Anqi said pointedly:

"The hour is late; let's find a place to talk slowly."

After all, the middle of this main road is not a place for conversation.

Ren Yidao originally did not want to get involved in the affairs between the Eastern Wasteland and Beigan anymore.

But since he had already confronted them so directly just now, it seemed a bit strange to say it had nothing to do with him at this point.

Since things have reached this stage, let nature take its course.

Anyway, the fish won't be caught, and the plot of a subordinate usurping his superior has already been seen, so he might as well find something else to do.

"Then I will trouble Brother Shi to lead the way."

……

……

The Shi Family.

Hua Tianquan avoided the gazes of others and walked toward the boudoir of Shi Xiaoxiao.

He tapped lightly on the window lattice and said softly toward the inside:

"Miss Shi, Tianquan has something to tell you."

After speaking, he waited for a moment, and seeing there was no sound from within, he raised an eyebrow and added:

"It is about Shi Guangyin."

"He found me and told me about your plan... Heh heh, I think you must understand what I mean."

Shi Guangyin actually got one thing wrong.

Even if he waited at the Tianfu Teahouse for an entire night, he would only be able to wait for a tough guy seeking revenge, not the big shot he was prepared to latch onto.

He treated the information in his hands as a bargaining chip, but in reality, it was completely meaningless to this disciple of the Hua Family.

The other party didn't care for it at all.

As long as he knew that Shi Xiaoxiao was not sincerely obeying Shi Enguang, that fact alone was already enough.

At the very beginning, Shi Guangyin had already leaked the most important information directly to the other party.

Hua Tianquan held the winning hand, and seeing that Shi Xiaoxiao was still putting up a desperate resistance, his tone became a bit firmer:

"Miss Shi, you wouldn't want others to know this news as well, would you? Heh heh..."

Today is a bit ominous; why am I breaking out in a cold sweat... something is wrong.

It's a bit cold at home, and my head hurts a little.

I'll see if I can write the next two updates; if not, I will make up for them later.
