Chapter 919 - Mr
Chapter 919 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" opens presenting: Qing Jiang Wang was suddenly startled.Someone was lurking nearby, and he had not noticed?At the... Donât stop now!
Qing Jiang Wang was suddenly startled.
Someone was lurking nearby, and he had not noticed?
At the very least, in terms of concealment, Fu Yanqingâs skills indeed far surpassed his.
It was only after Fu Yanqing pointed it out that Jiang Wang noticed the faint fluctuation.
And Fu Yanqing had already clenched his five fingers, forcing a figure to break cover and appear before them in an awkward state.
âChu Mi?â Jiang Wangâs gaze became icy cold.
âNo, no, no, donât get me wrong!â Chu Miâs face was filled with panic as he waved his hands continuously, âI wasnât planning to tie you up and hand you over, I donât have the strength to do thatâŚâ
Jiang Wang had presented a record of fighting against nine alone, making it clear that Chu Mi dared not harbor even the slightest intention.
âEnough with the nonsense.â Fu Yanqing said bluntly, âLurking around sneakily, what were you trying to do?â
âIf I had known you were here, Lord Qing, why would I dare to follow?â Chu Mi, who had long been on the Floating Island of Ding, evidently feared Fu Yanqing more and hurriedly said, âI noticed that Young Master Jiang seemed extraordinary, and just now the Island Master Ding had granted him medicine before letting him step back to recuperate.
I know a bit about the âSoul Jade Spirit Liquidâ; itâs to be consumed immediately, with no need for recuperation.
So I thoughtâŚâ
âYou thought what?â Fu Yanqing asked with an expressionless face.
It was only then that Jiang Wang noticed that behind Chu Mi, there were two imperceptible black lines twisting away, likely the shadows controlled by Fu Yanqing.
It was these that had forced Chu Mi out, causing him now to be restless and uneasy.
Despite being young, Fu Yanqing was referred to as âLord Qing,â obviously holding great prestige on the Floating Island of Ding.
In the end, Chu Mi did not dare hide anything in front of Fu Yanqing and, gritting his teeth, said, âI thought Young Master Jiang had a way to escape, and I wanted to follow him.â
He had always assumed that Jiang Wang had the backing of Tongtian, believing that Ding Jingshan would go to great lengths to send Jiang Wang away first.
Thatâs why he had quietly followed.
From this point of view, he could indeed be deemed a âsmart person.â
But in the united atmosphere of the Floating Island of Ding, with stubborn âfoolsâ like Ding Jingshan leading by example, his form of âintelligenceâ was undoubtedly very inappropriate.
Thus, the gaze Fu Yanqing cast upon him was cold, âDesertion on the eve of battle is subject to military law.
You were originally three years away from the end of your sentence, but it seems you might not need to wait three years anymore.â
âAh no, no, no, Lord Qing, Lord Qing!â Chu Mi pleaded in panic, âBut I havenât fled yet, right?
Itâs attempted, just attempted!â
He shook his head desperately, âYou canât do this, you canât do that.â
Fu Yanqing was amused by his plea, âIf you had already succeeded, with the current situation, where would I go to capture you?â
Chu Miâs forehead broke out in sweat as he swallowed hard, âI can atone for my sins with meritorious deeds!
Didnât you just say, Lord Qing, that Young Master Jiang needs to break through and leave the island to resolve todayâs military crisis?
I can help!
You know my modest abilities, Iâm still of some use!â
Fu Yanqing remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the options.
Whereas Jiang Wang looked at him with a skeptical gaze, and he immediately added, âYoung Master Jiang, Iâm the one with the best skills in stealth and concealment from Beam Top Building!â
Indeed, he was from Beam Top Building, but it was not until this moment that he admitted it before Jiang Wang, which inevitably made him seem even less trustworthy.
And Jiang Wangâs doubts had nothing to do with his abilities.
âIâd rather not have your help,â Jiang Wang stated bluntly.
Thud!
To Jiang Wangâs surprise, Chu Mi suddenly knelt down, begging pitifully, âPlease believe me!â
He seemed to have lost all the pride that a Cultivator of the External Building Environment should possess, kneeling like this before Jiang Wang!
But this lack of dignity made Jiang Wang even less inclined to trust him.
Fu Yanqing had made him aware of the dire situation on the Floating Island of Dingâthere was almost no chance of defending against the full assault of the Sea Clan, only a possibility of making the Sea Clan pay a heavy price.
In such a scenario, breaking through was a better option, whether for himself or for the Floating Island of Ding as a whole.
However, in a situation where the Sea Clanâs army was besieging them, choosing to break through and leave the islandâeven with the help of Ding Jingshan and Fu Yanqingâwas undeniably an almost suicidal risk.
Precisely because of this, Ding Jingshan had let Jiang Wang choose for himself.
In this life-and-death adventure, how could Jiang Wang possibly let someone he couldnât trust join?
âIf you donât agree, Mr.
Qing will definitely have me killed.â
Chu Mi stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab Jiang Wangâs sleeve but didnât dare to, so he could only look at him with desperate, pleading eyes: âPlease give me a chance, I beg you!â
He had a strong desire to âsurvive,â the origin of which he didnât know, but this desire overflowed in every detail of his limbs.
âChu Mi can be trusted.â
It was then that Fu Yanqing spoke up: âAt least when facing the Sea Clan, Chu Mi can be trusted.â
He looked towards Jiang Wang: âBreaking out of the island is indeed very difficult, and even more challenging is how to shake off the pursuit after breaking out.
On this matter, Chu Mi can help you.â
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment and then nodded: âI trust the Island Master, Ding.â
The attitude of Ding Jingshan towards the Elephant King had said it all.
To trust Ding Jingshan, and therefore to trust Fu Yanqing sent by Ding Jingshan, was to trust Fu Yanqingâs judgment.
Although he said so, it was hard to tell whether he was swayed by Chu Miâs desperation to live or by Fu Yanqingâs judgmentâŚ
perhaps it was a bit of both.
Even if Chu Mi came from a less-than-noble background and had a notorious reputation, after all, he was an Outer Tower Cultivator and a warrior who had truly battled the Sea Clan in the Lost World.
His desire to live was touching.
Before battle, the Floating Islands would certainly not be tolerant of such craven characters.
Otherwise, strict military discipline could not be maintained.
Joining Jiang Wang in the breakout was an extremely dangerous choice, yet it was also an opportunity he had managed to secure for himself.
âYour choice will not be wrong,â said Fu Yanqing.
It was unclear to which choice he referred.
Whether it was agreeing to let Chu Mi join or choosing to break out.
Jiang Wang simply said, âI hope so!â
In an area of the Lost World where the Human Race was at a disadvantage, many things were not for him to decide.
To hunt the Sea Clan to cleanse his sins but to face such peril was far from fair.
But Jiang Wang had not the slightest inclination to complain about fate or others.
In this region of Ding Wei, he had fought hard to achieve the best battle record, and Ding Jingshan had indeed provided him with the greatest support within his capability.
So he would try.
Try again.
âYou two should get to know each other better, to facilitate subsequent actions,â Fu Yanqing said, then slowly sank into the shadows.
The lines of black shadow that had bound Chu Mi also dissipated without a trace.
Chu Mi, who had been tense all along, suddenly collapsed.
Weakly facing Jiang Wang, he said, âThank you!â
Jiang Wang simply replied, âDonât thank me.
Bring your best shape.
Otherwise, we might both die outside the island, which would suit the Elephant King just fine!â
How could he not know that by choosing to break out, if he failed, it would also fulfill the Elephant Kingâs wishes and put an end to the threat of war?
For the safety of the Ding Wei Floating Island, it was possible that Ding Jingshan had this in mind.
But at least, Ding Jingshan had given him a choice.
First, there was the Soul Jade Elixir, and then he sent Fu Yanqing as an aid, which was already doing his utmost to help him break out, not just for show.
âHuff.â Chu Mi was gasping for air, evidently having been truly frightened by Fu Yanqing just now.
After a long time had passed,
âIâm not going to die,â he said, narrowing those slender eyes, and then he smiled again.
The smile was very sly.
