By I regained awareness of my surroundings, Huofeng had almost dislodged the doors on her way out with her kick.

“Big Brother Ming, what was she talking about”

“Well… Its… a story too long for now. In a nutshell, her senior was engaged to me from childhood.”

“Oh my god! Someone would actually want you Is she blind”

“Shut up!”

Are you insulting even someone you dont know now

“Mm… Abbess Huofeng is the senior of Miss Lian, right Given Abbess Huofengs high standing in their sect, her senior sister…”

I figured Su Xiao would know Huofengs senior sisters name since she had made her name for herself in the pugilistic world.

“Yes, youre right, shes Wutong Jin Yuxuans interim patriarch, the heroine they call Metal Yu Feiyuan.”

“Youre kidding me. Metal Yu Feiyuan is your fiancée!”

I covered my ears: “What are you screaming for My shifu set us up when he was drunk! There are no documents to officiate it or dowries. Do you trust a thug Why would you trust my shifu, then”

“Isnt your shifu a daoist”

“So what if he is” I pinched my nose: “Youve never seen a ruffian daoist, have you”

I should take you to Wudang some time. I bet theyll turn your beliefs on their head.

Our task was to find lodging, and we still hadnt completed it. We picked up clues on Boss Shen but had no leads to follow. All that effort and we only ended up with Jie Daqian, who embraced his background as a beggar to the fullest, crawling toward the doors without any embarrassment.

As Jie Daqian crawled, he counted, “Ten more steps. Nine more steps…”

Su Xiao and I refused to give Jie Daqian ground. Smiling, I sardonically asked, “Where are you going, Elder Jie”

“You know who I am, ignorant runt”

Cueing Su Xiao in with a tug of my brow, the two of us took one side each, poking Jie Daqians laugh meridians.

“Hahaha, you two sons of a hahahaha! How dare you to this to hahaha! I wont say any haha!”

Fifteen minutes later…

“Ill talk. Ill talk! Ill talk!”

If it wasnt for our sects friendship and Huofeng, Id have made you spill everything.

And so, Jie Daqian recounted how Chen Wanyun recruited him to help Green Prince. Jie Daqian didnt know Green Princes true identity and assumed the latter was a rich kid. They didnt come from Luoyang but Shangxian City, a place far off in Nanjiang, which belonged to Emperor Yuanshengs new domain in Nanjiang and was Green Princes territory. If anyone wasnt convinced the fatty wasnt Green Prince yet, that information shouldve validated it.

Green Prince didnt come here on a whim; he had planned his trip to Huzhou months prior. What perplexed me was that Emperor Yuansheng only heard about the convention on the way here, yet was worried about his son coming here. Also, why “Zhong Ming” of all names

I tossed a pancake I had to Jie Daqian when I heard his stomach growl. As he ate, he continued, “He came up with the nameZhong Ming himself. Several days ago, a fellow they call Young Master Zhong Ming became an overnight sensation, assembling numerous heavyweights in Jiangnan overnight, yet nobody knew his background. Young Master reckoned Zhong Ming would avoid being conspicuous since he was hiding his true identity. Young Master, therefore, borrowed the name, believing he could leech off it and make the journey more convenient.

“Theres probably something wrong with his head. People from Luo Sword Manor visited him on multiple occasions and were courteous with him. Young Master Luo addresses him as an elder brother. Im sure he couldve asked for a ticket into the convention, yet he insists on snatching someone elses weapon to enter. In the pugilistic world, loyalty and gallantry are the two most important things. You cant go stealing from people just because youre stronger.”

I hiked up the corner of my lips: “In other words, you deliberately attacked Huofeng”

“Not entirely. I was pulling my punches, though. She, on the other hand, almost smote me. I doubt Im going to be able to ask her to repay the favour.”

“A true veteran of the pugilistic world - sly.”

“You flatter me.”

Su Xiao visibly couldnt keep up with the intricacies we didnt explicate.

“How old is the Young Master Luo who addressed your young master aselder brother Whats his appearance like Is he the direct descendant of Luo Clan”

“Not sure there. Hes a handsome man and polite. I dont care for rich young masters, so youre throwing hard questions. Oh, his sword is all blue. Ive never seen anything like it.”

“Bingo.” I got up and pulled Su Xiao to his feet: “Thank you, Elder Jie. If fate would be so kind, let us meet again in the pugilistic world.”

Jie Daqian held the pancake in his mouth to salute me.

By the time Su Xiao and I were back outside, the yellow ball of fire had changed to hues of orange and then almost tangerine, merging with the sky. The clouds blushed at the warm touch of the sun.

“Wait, wait! Big Brother Ming, dont tell me you smell blood again.”

“I get it now. I know why we cant go to a government office now.”

“Why”

“Remember Master said hes old friends with Patriarch Luo and are partially in-laws What other reason might he emphasisepartially if its not for their children”

“Mm… If theyre only engaged”

“Exactly, but not right. Knowing how wise Luo Ming is, he wouldnt betroth his daughter to him. Jie Daqians description has led me to a speculation.”

“I… am completely lost.”

“The blue sword Jie Daqian mentioned should be the sword of the swordplay departments leaders sword - Siming. That means the young master he mentioned must be Luo Sword Manors young master - Luo Siming. If the fatty is his elder brother, yet isnt his brother-in-law, that means they arent in-laws. The only conclusion you can draw from that is that the fatty has taken Luo Ming as his adoptive father! Hence, Master was immediately alarmed upon hearing of this spectacle in Huzhou. Hes worried his son is involved in this. I figured out how His Majesty is connected after the fatty, Green Prince, showed up. Anyway, we need to go collect money now.”

“… Wait! You mean that piglet was Green Prince!”

Didnt I already mention it-
