Chapter 75

.

“Can I see the brigand chief?” asked Su Jinlun .

Su Jinlun was smart . He had been captured, but he was waiting patiently . Since the plan had changed, he wanted to take advantage of the situation if he could .

He was a descendant of the Su Clan . He knew about Little Frost’s fortified village and their legendary brigand chief . That’s why he wanted to see Qiu Yuetong .

Qiu Mei was born second, even though Qiu Mei and Qiu Zhu were twins, so she was the youngest . She was discreet and calm so Qiu Yuetong gave her many important assignments . When she heard Su Jinlun’s question, she smiled .

“Prince Su, don’t worry, the leader is aware of the situation . She won’t let anyone harm you . If you wait for two more days, people will come and take you down the mountain,” she said .

“No, you’ve misunderstood me . I really have something urgent to talk about with her . Little Frost’s fortified village and the leader might be in danger,” Su Jinlun said insistently .

He knew that Mu Yi was extremely strong . Mu Yi was like a god in his eyes . There was nothing he couldn’t do . Little Frost’s fortified village was strong, but for Su Jinlun there was no way they could compete with Mu Yi .

He had been worried about Mu Yi first after he was kidnapped . He had noticed later that Li Hu was in a bad mood . He guessed that Mu Yi had defeated him and ruined their plans . He didn’t dare to think about his cousin’s death .

Su Jinlun knew a few of his clan’s plans . Little Frost’s fortified village was a part of their plans . Therefore, he didn’t want Mu Yi to be upset and completely destroy Little Frost’s fortified village . He didn’t care whether Li Hu died or not, all that mattered to him were Qiu Yuetong and Little Frost’s fortified village .

“Our leader is in danger? Prince Su, you’re joking . Our leader is so strong . Even if Lin’an County did their best to attack Little Frost, they’d fail . Little Frost Mountain’s defenses are incredible . A huge army would need to attack if they really wanted to defeat us . Who could pose a threat to our leader? Don’t you know about the government’s situation right now, Prince Su?” said Qiu Mei .

Her voice was proud and fierce as she spoke . She was a woman, but she was brave, especially these days . She knew if people were wise and if they were smart or not . The situation with the government was about to become chaotic .

“I know you don’t believe me but tell the leader that someone who is related to my clan is going to get involved . He is a person of unusual ability . If he wants, he can destroy an army,” said Su Jinlun .

He looked at Qiu Mei in desperation . He was really convinced Mu Yi could do such a thing . He didn’t know that Mu Yi, whom he revered, had decided to wait until it was dark outside to climb up the mountain . It was precisely because Little Frost’s fortified village’s army was patrolling in the mountains . If he knew, he would have been disappointed .

If Mu Yi had an infinite number of five thunders charms, he could have set the mountain on fire and destroyed everybody . It wasn’t possible though . Even after Mu Yi reached the second difficulty, his number of five thunders charms would still be limited .

He was just starting the process of cultivation and weapons could hurt him, especially arrows . He could get injured or even killed from ten meters away . The government was going through difficult times, right now . There were many enemies and Mu Yi wasn’t stupid . He preferred to remain vigilant .

Qiu Mei saw that Su Jinlun really meant what he was saying . She was rather stunned, but she wasn’t stupid . She hadn’t been to school, she still had some knowledge . She knew that Su Jinlun wasn’t stupid and that he wouldn’t possibly try to deceive her . The leader had told her previously that some people were different from others . The world was a vast place .

She believed Su Jinlun after he said that .

“Thank you very much for your good intentions, Prince Su . I will tell the leader,” said Qiu Mei .

She left . Su Jinlun was startled by the fact that she had reacted so quickly but he still didn’t feel that it would be okay .

A woman in light yellow clothes was performing a sword dance in a dark courtyard on Little Frost Mountain . She looked graceful and elegant . She was beautiful, but she had the air of an assassin . Her sword was definitely deadly .

It was the afternoon and the sun was bright . A woman in white clothes was seated on a chair in front of the woman . In her left hand, she had a scroll . She was tapping the chair with her right hand . She was looking at the scroll she was holding . Yet, each time the woman performing the sword dance moved she tapped on the chair .

It was calm, then not, like a moving picture scroll . The door of the courtyard opened . The women stopped what they were doing . The woman with the sword was still . She had her sword raised high above her head, but she soon put her sword back in its sheath .

“Chief,” Qiu Mei said .

She was standing in front of the woman with the scroll . Qiu Yuetong raised her head . Her expression was still so cold . It was Qiu Zhu who had been performing the sword dance .

“Has Prince Su told you anything?” asked Qiu Yuetong .

“Prince Su said Little Frost’s fortified village and you were in danger because the Su Clan asked for help,” said Qiu Mei .

“What could happen to us? The Su Clan asked for help? I could kill that person in one strike,” said Qiu Zhu straightforwardly .

“Continue,” said Qiu Yuetong .

She just ignored Qiu Zhu .

“Prince Su said that the person had unusual abilities and could kill a whole army,” said Qiu Mei .

Qiu Zhu wanted to say something else but Qiu Yuetong glanced at her, so she didn’t say anything .

“The Su Clan asked for help?” Qiu Yuetong said .

She stood up and threw the scroll at Qiu Zhu . She walked around the courtyard with a pensive expression . Qiu Mei and Qiu Zhu knew all of their leader’s habits . She was taking the matter seriously .

She hadn’t even cared about everything Li Hu had been doing over the past few days . Now she was reacting to the news she was given . The fact that she was thinking about it meant she thought it worthy of consideration .

“Qiu Mei, do you think he could be lying?” asked Qiu Yuetong .

“I don’t think so . He looked very serious . I am sure he highly respects that person,” said Qiu Mei .

“I know that the old man of the Su Clan is wildly ambitious . I still would have never thought he could pretend that well . We’ll have to change the plan,” said Qiu Yuetong .

“Leader, don’t tell me you believe him? A man couldn’t possibly fight against a whole army alone!” said Qiu Zhu .

She couldn’t hold herself back and started talking . It was impossible to find someone who could fight against a whole army alone, especially for the Su Clan . The Su Clan had some influence in Lin’an County, but they were nothing when considering the scale of the world .
