Chapter 608 - Sending a Message
Chapter 608 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts with: Facing Granny Biqiongâs questioning, Zhu Bijing was completely panicked, âNo, the disciple doesnât dare.ButâŚââThere are... Continue exploring!
Facing Granny Biqiongâs questioning, Zhu Bijing was completely panicked, âNo, the disciple doesnât dare.ButâŚâ
âThere are no buts.â Granny Biqiong waved her hand dismissively, âYou may leave, letâs end this matter here.â
Zhu Bijing opened her mouth wanting to say something else, but a gentle force had already pushed her out of the room.
She stood dazedly at the door for a while, before finally staggering down the bamboo building on her own.
Atop the bamboo building, Granny Biqiong gently furrowed her brow: âHai Zongming had previously ignored Hu Shaomengâs affair, but now he suddenly pursues the matter, there must be a reason.
Does Hu Shaomeng have some secret on him?â
âBut that is not important anymore.â Granny Biqiong shook her head, âNo matter what secret has clouded Hai Zongmingâs mind, as long as he attempts to kill Jiang Wang, Qi Country will not let him off.
The only prerequisite isâŚ
Qi Country needs to know about this.
And for that, I need not do anythingâŚâ
She turned to look in the direction of the window, which was tightly closed, so naturally, she could not see the sky outside.
Thinking of Zhu Bijingâs naive and carefree demeanor, she eventually let out a sigh.
âSu Yao, if you were still alive, Granny wouldnât have made such a choice.â
âNo, Granny hasnât done anything.
If Biqiong were just a bit smarter, things could still be salvaged,â she said.
âYes, I know sheâs very innocent.
I admit I know how she would choose,â Granny continued.
âIf Hai Zongming goes down, Granny will be one step closer to that position.
You, with your empathy, should be able to understand, right?â
âHu Shaomeng turned you into someone despised and hated, a zealot.
It would be fitting for him and his mentor to join you in death.â
âSu Yao, with you gone, all the efforts I put into you have gone to waste.
You shouldnât blame me.â
After muttering to herself, she finally calmed down, finding peace in her heart, and sat down quietly.
She sat in the same chair that Zhu Bijing had occupied before.
âI absolutely must not sit idly by if Jiang Wang is in danger.â This was the clearest thought in Zhu Bijingâs mind.
If Jiang Wang were to come to harm because of her, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
But with her own strength, trying to shake Hai Zongming, an elder with real power in Diao Hai Building, was utterly impossible.
âWhat should I do then?â
Zhu Bijing walked out aimlessly, not knowing where she was going or what to do.
She had always relied on her sister for everything.
But her sister was no longer here.
She had realized countless times that her sister was gone.
Each âreminderâ from life made her feel the hardship even more.
In Green Sheep Town, it had been relatively easier.
Neither Xiao Xiao nor Xiang Qian had put any pressure on her.
Zhu Bijing shook her head, casting aside any thoughts that were unhelpful to the current situation.
In this matter, the only one she could rely on was Granny Biqiong, but Granny Biqiong had already made it clear that she wouldnât intervene.
What to do?
At that moment, she suddenly remembered something Granny Biqiong had said â âPeople of Qi Country would not allow Hai Zongming to harm him.â
As long as Jiang Wang knew of Hai Zongmingâs murderous intent, as long as the powerhouses of Qi Country were consciously prepared, even if Hai Zongming was formidable, he would have no chance of harming Jiang Wang, right?
After all, that was Qi Country, the overlord of the Eastern RegionâŚ
So the most important thing now was to inform Jiang Wang, to let him be aware of Hai Zongmingâs intent to kill and to take precautions early.
But she lacked the means to contact Jiang Wang in time.
Going to Qi Country in person might be too late, and writing a letter was even less secure; if intercepted by Hai Zongming, it might backfire disastrously.
After much thought, Zhu Bijing thought of that friend of Jiang Wang, who was currently on Crescent Island.
Zhu Bijing hurried to Zhi Yun Tea House with rapid steps; she knew Crescent Island like the back of her hand, and there was only this one tea house near where Xu Xiangqian, Zhao Wuyan, and others had spoken that could be described as âelegant.â
Luckily, when she arrived at the tea house, Xu Xiangqian and the rest had not yet departed.
She didnât know what means he had used, but the girl Zi Shu, who previously found him extremely displeasing, was now chatting with him happily, occasionally being amused to laughter.
Only Zhao Wuyan remained calm and reserved, maintaining a considerable distance.
âIâm glad you havenât left!â Zhu Bijing rushed over excitedly.
âUhâŚ
may I ask who you are?â
Xu Xiangqian behaved very refined and courteous.
In the presence of strangers, he usually maintained his composure.
Zhu Bijing looked around, aware that the tea house was not a convenient place to talk.
She promptly took Xu Xiangqian by the arm and headed outside, âLetâs talk out there.â
Xu Xiangqian shook off her grip and stepped back, glancing at Zhao Wuyan from the corner of his eye as he said, âMiss, please show some self-respect, I am not someone to be treated lightly.â
Zhu Bijing was stunned, âNeither am I!â
Feeling an urgent frustration, she said, âI have something urgent to discuss with you!
Letâs go outside and talk, itâs very urgent!â
Xu Xiangqian remained calm and unhurried, âIf thereâs something to discuss, we can talk here.
I always act in an open and aboveboard manner, with nothing that canât be said openly!â
Zhu Bijing was about to speak when she suddenly realized that this matter required secrecy.
Frustrated with Xu Xiangqianâs obtuseness, she glared at him and turned to walk away.
Xu Xiangqian didnât bother with her, simply returning to his seat at the tea table, shaking his head with a chuckle, âBuddhism says that the flesh body is just a stinking skin bag, and thereâs some truth to that.
Itâs so burdensome, always encountering troubling mattersâŚ
Sigh!â
He sighed deeply, âBut the women of the Near Sea Archipelago, they are indeed too passionate and unrestrained.â
Zhao Wuyan, with a broader perspective, simply said, âThose who view the flesh body as a stinking skin bag are just one branch.
The mainstream of Buddhism actually sees the flesh body as the raft of the Sea of Suffering.â
âSister, you have great insight!â
At that moment, Xu Xiangqian heard Zhu Bijingâs voice transmission in his ear, âJiang Wang is in danger!â
Xu Xiangqian had just delivered a compliment, his flattery not yet unfolded, when he abruptly stood up.
Without even time to bid farewell, he vanished from the tea house.
Zi Shu was baffled, âWhatâs with himâŚâ
But Zhao Wuyan just smiled, beckoning the server to settle the account, âPerhaps the women of the Near Sea Archipelago really are too passionate.â
Xu Xiangqian chased out of the tea house, following Zhu Bijingâs figure into a narrow alley.
His casual demeanor vanished, his expression became extremely serious, âWho are you?
What happened to Jiang Wang?â
âDonât worry about who I am,â Zhu Bijing said urgently, âYou claim to be as close as brothers with Jiang Wang, so you must have a way to contact him immediately, right?
Heâs in great danger now!
A peak External Building Environment expert wants to kill him!â
âWho wants to kill him?â Xu Xiangqian frowned deeply.
âThe de facto elder of Diao Hai Building, Hai Zongming!
Stop wasting time, contact Jiang Wang quickly!â
Xu Xiangqian had countless questions in his mind, but he knew this was not the time to ask them.
âI canât get in touch with him right nowâŚâ
Zhu Bijing exploded in anger, âArenât you supposed to be the renowned âTwin Jadesâ of Ganma Mountain?
As close as brothers?
So all of that was just deceiving girls, was it?â
âDonât panic, donât panic,â Xu Xiangqian hurriedly stopped her shouting, âI have a way, I know someone who can immediately contact Linzi.
Jiang Wang is definitely in Linzi right now.â
âWho?â
âLi Fengyao!â
Xu Xiangqian rubbed his hands, âBut sheâs currently on Binghuang Island, and recently there has been unrest between the islands controlled by Diao Hai Building and those under Qi Countryâs control.
I need to figure out how to quickly get there.â
âI have a way,â Zhu Bijing didnât waste words, simply stating, âFollow me.â
Meanwhile, Jiang Wang was oblivious to both the distant malice and good intentions.
Feeling that he had resolved all matters in the Eastern Region and with a lightened spirit, the longing for âAnâanâ became even harder to restrain.
How much taller had Anâan grown by now?
Was she studying well?
How was her martial arts practiceâŚ
Was she happy in Lingxiao Pavilion?
Cradling such thoughts.
After leaving Star Moon Plain, he traveled rapidly.
Finally, as the sky had just darkened, he stepped into the territory of Zheng Country.
