Chapter 5, Humiliation

Jia Ye merely brought back subordinates, so where is the talk of defiance coming from

The man has disappeared, yet the resentful and venomous words still linger in my ears

I command you to leave

How could he not know

At that time, I truly never imagined I would live to see today

I dare not trouble the elder

How about changing to someone else

He composed himself and returned the horse to Si Si Jian, then walked out with the servant who had selected the fine horses, having resolved in his heart never to leave the garden again

He is my shadow guard, bestowed by the king, and is not someone to be treated lightly.

Even the king can change his mind; even if it is at night, if I go to ask for someone, would she not give them to me? Such light words seem to have severed all avenues of retreat

Jia Ye did not dare to come, and Shu Ying had been delayed in her duties and had not returned, which is why I came to take a look. The girl lowered her head, as if she had not seen anything that had happened

The wavering hand departed from the body

The servant beside him turned pale as if made of clay, filled with extreme fear, and hurriedly led the horse away in a panic

In such an unpredictable predicament, how should one conduct oneself

I finally have a rough idea of the meaning of "Jiuwei," and I am momentarily both amused and bewildered. "What are you talking about?"

Elder Xiao, regardless of the circumstances, remember to keep your distance from him

The emblem of the three great elders, the only one that has never been seen, was only warned about by Jiu Wei

It had been a long time since I last rode a horse, and without the need for urging, the steed galloped swiftly, leaving the buildings behind in an instant. The mountains were vast, and there were stretches of verdant grasslands, exuding the fresh scent of grass and trees in the summer. As I rode closer to a clear stream, the horse, after running at full speed, began to breathe lightly, unable to resist the temptation to step into the water and lowered its head to drink. I simply dismounted, and the cool water soaked over my ankles, with agile fish occasionally darting by.

The man suddenly fell silent, picked up the clothes that had been thrown aside, and put them on. "Alright, let's see how long you can protect yourself; I fear that by then, even you..."

"You know, with books, I am a good man." The man lifted a lock of his hair, his gaze revealing raw desire. "Follow me, it will be much better than the night of Kaja."

A large Damascus curved sword came into view, with a handle wrapped in sheepskin mixed with black silk, crafted with exquisite detail. The blade is not long, making it extremely suitable for carrying on one's person

Bitten by a man ... . ... the gums have already bled, and I wish I could die instantly.

"A significant matter." The young man raised his eyebrows, feeling a surge of excitement and anticipation. "It could turn the world upside down."

Shuying, I know you are unwilling, but under the current circumstances, you can only endure

The feeling of humiliation is indelibly etched in his mind, and for a moment, he is filled with intense hatred. He looks at the girl, who is much shorter than him, and finds himself unable to utter a single word.

If that is the case, please, Elder, clarify the teachings of the King, so that Shuying may follow accordingly He closed his eyes and forced out the words

Having come to this point, he calmed down

Jiu Wei might still exchange flesh and blood for an opportunity, but the identity of a Central Plains person... is destined to be guarded and monitored, even similar conversations will somewhat implicate Jiu Wei; he is not unaware of this.

I will soon be going to the Shache Kingdom

The world is undergoing tremendous changes... Is there a transformation in education?

The nightmarish sound pinned his feet down

The girl withdrew her hand, turned around, and waited for him to arrange his torn clothes

The young man chuckled softly, "The Seven Kills are indeed not simple, still not taking you along?"

There is no need for that. Jia Ye is currently waiting for his subordinate to return and report. We will listen to the elder's teachings another day. There is no need to look around; he is also aware that the other party deliberately chose a sparsely populated area to ambush. Escaping is likely to be difficult...

The wind blew, lifting the hair from his forehead. The young man momentarily lost his focus, and after a brief pause, he suddenly called out.

Jiu Wei's expression suddenly became serious. "Shu Ying, I remind you to be cautious of one person"

Stop

He suddenly sprang up, his fingers poised like blades, launching the most vicious attack. The man did not seem surprised; he rolled away to evade and effortlessly dismantled the assault. Ignoring the possibility of mutual destruction, he sought only to create a chance to escape. However, as time passed, his heart grew colder with each exchange. One hand broke through his defenses and struck fiercely at his abdomen, causing him to spasm in pain. In a moment of distraction, he found himself immobilized, his vital points seized, unable to move.

To be honest, something might happen in the school soon. Jiuwei sat down beside him and stretched out his legs

Who

I am a shadow guard of the Seven Killers under the command of Jaya.

Imagining the embarrassment of his companion, he couldn't help but chuckle, forgetting the heavy thoughts that had burdened him moments ago

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder

She finally lifted her head, and beneath her black bangs, her cold eyes resembled the dark night

The servants around bowed respectfully. "I have met Elder Xiao."

I originally wanted to... She turned her back to him and let out a slight sigh

I can no longer assist you; take care of yourself. He remained silent for a long time before slowly responding

On this trip to Shache, you will accompany me

He... has a good reputation among men, and it is said that he once used force against his disciples. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke up. "The place where Jiaye lives is quite remote, and since you don't come out often, you might not be very clear about it"

"Fortunately, I run fast," Jiuwei exaggeratedly gestured, "Those arrows whizzed past me, almost leaving a few more holes in my backside"

What? He did not understand

Phantom.

I know what you are thinking..." The man leaned down close to her ear, his voice like a ghost. "Today, you cannot escape.

"You have heard of me." The man walked over to his side

The black hair brushed against the shoulders, cool and gentle. One felt a loosening of the body, regaining the ability to move once more

He seized the wrist, directly cutting into the pulse gate, but relaxed the moment he caught a glimpse.

She also smiled, but her indifferent gaze concealed a sharpness. "Elder, you are too kind. It is merely a matter of a shadow guard that has caused some discord, which would be rather laughable. It would not be easy to explain this before the teaching king."

Well

How could I dare? Jiaye is merely reminding the elders not to lose sight of the bigger picture due to momentary excitement

When will you return

Please forgive my ignorance. Seeing the other party seemingly about to step forward, he gritted his teeth and said, Please forgive my offense, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. Without waiting for a response, he turned and mounted his horse, galloping away.

His expression turned cold

He suppressed his worries and did not inquire further about the details

What kind of matter is this

What recent developments have occurred with Jaya?

Such a appearance is truly a pity... The cold hand gently wiped away the cold sweat from his brow, as if expressing regret. He could hardly restrain himself from cursing.

Then you can rest assured, I will naturally return him shortly

May I ask what instructions Elder Xiao has?

"That shadow guard... I have heard of him." The man paused slightly, as if contemplating something.

"Are you referring to ... ... ?" He furrowed his brow

What do you plan to do? The eager expression of the young man made him feel something unusual

The subordinate does not understand the elder's meaning

"Jia Ye." The man chuckled dryly. "I thought you understood when to advance and when to retreat."

"Jia Ye!" The man finally stood up and shouted sternly, "You should be well aware of the consequences of offending me"

I now understand why Teacher Wang assigned you to Jiaye. " Jiuwei cast a sidelong glance, surveying from top to bottom. "If it were someone else..."

"You may leave for now; I have something to discuss with him." The man casually dismissed the servant.

Holding back his surprise, he looked back at the other man, an unremarkable middle-aged individual whose face bore no malice, yet made him secretly wary

His gaze swept to the man's collar, where a pair of finely embroidered black wings adorned with intricate patterns was displayed. Three faint golden glimmers were barely visible on the wings, causing him to suddenly break into a cold sweat and bow his head in greeting

The Emperor commands his subordinates to serve as shadow guards

The man, furious to the extreme, laughed and said, "You think I won't lay a hand on you?"

Occasionally... I also enjoy using the strong ones. The other party seems indifferent. Breathing gradually becomes rapid, and their hand has already slipped into my collar. "More stimulating, especially in the wild"

Kaya may not necessarily have good intentions towards you, but at least she is there to shield you, so your days will not be too difficult

A cold voice suddenly emerged, faintly as usual

Why?

Go back and instruct them to pack their luggage

Yesterday, she threw the things she was carrying into his arms, saying, "This is for you."

My goodness, you mustn't smile like that at outsiders, I'm afraid ... ...

I have just learned of this, as my vision is limited

Are you using the teachings of the king to pressure me

The so-called situation is merely a struggle for power. Why did Jaya leave? What did Jiwei choose?

Watching the servants pack up the items for the journey, he interrupted his thoughts. He went to the Horse Management Office with the lower-ranking servant who was selecting the horses, feeling somewhat bored after a long day with nothing to do

You are ... ...

As long as the elder releases Shuying

He stopped the conversation and lay flat on the ground

Do you not obey my commands

Wait, do you know who I am

"That is fine, as long as Jiaye can protect herself, it will not affect you." He patted his shoulder. "After she leaves, try not to leave the courtyard."

Gazing at a robust horse, well-fed and sleek, I looked around and had a faint impression. It must have been here where I was dragged out from that suffocating carriage.

"I will take a gamble." Jiu Wei turned her head, and a fierce glint flashed in her bright eyes. "Life and death are fated; as long as I succeed, I will no longer be a pawn at the mercy of others"

She silently exhaled and leaned down beside him

With a loud crack, the clothing was violently torn in two, and as that hand brushed over, countless bumps erupted on the skin

The heart is racing, if not for the other party's momentary hesitation

The young man smiled broadly, his slightly dark skin glistening with a healthy sheen, resembling a colt on the open fields

I have matters to attend to, so I must take my leave. I hope for your understanding. He respectfully stepped back

Your situation must be much better than it is now. The young man hummed a few notes, saying, "That guy is too young, probably doesn't understand. If it were Zisuo or Feiqin... tsk tsk..."

It is somewhat amusing to see the fierce underling transform into a sycophantic figure, submissively fearful of inadequate responses. The steward even took the initiative to select a horse for him, so that he could ride and amuse himself while waiting

The horses here are also categorized by rank

Suddenly sensing a certain presence, he abruptly looked up and saw a man several dozen steps away, staring at him with an unusual gaze

Jia Ye has met Elder Xiao

Nine Micro

After a long silence, the girl raised her head and made a decision

So you know who I am. The man smiled as he approached step by step, a glint of triumph in his eyes, reminiscent of a cat playing with a mouse

He steadied himself and said, "Refer to Elder Xiao."

What lies ahead, waiting in ambush, is precisely the person one thought they had already evaded

The young man said nothing further, merely shaking his head, mumbling something under his breath.

Thank you. He did not decline. Was there any injury this time

It seemed that there were voices calling from behind, but he sped away without looking back

When did a subordinate no longer regard the words of the elder? The man smiled coldly and suddenly shouted, "Get lost!"

"Sixty percent, I suppose, let's see how it goes." Glancing at his expression, the young man smiled. "No need to be nervous, I am quite confident. Moreover, you need not worry about yourself; Jiaye is even more... than I had anticipated."
