Gallinas y perros vuelan en el caos y el renacimiento

Capítulo 81

The person reacted very quickly, immediately flipping themselves backward.

A shout came from inside the house, and a figure flashed out.

Behind him came the servant's voice: "Ink Pig, you..."

Mo Hua darted outside and immediately began fighting with the person outside.

She usually seems lazy and indifferent, but when she moves, she's incredibly agile.

Shi Shu ran to the door and saw two figures locked in combat. She immediately cried out, "Young Master!"

"Hey, why are you getting physical?" The voice had barely left his lips when the red figure moved and was already in the middle of the field.

With arms outstretched, he slashed down from what was originally an impenetrable exchange of blows.

The ink painting leaped backward, and the shadow, seeing someone enter, immediately stopped and jumped out of the circle.

“You are…” Tang Leyan turned her head and looked at the shadow standing quietly in the night.

"The character 'Xuan' is nineteen?" the man said coldly.

Tang Leyan's expression hardened, and with a wave of her hand, Mo Hua leaped backward, already standing far away at the hall entrance with Shi Shu.

Tang Leyan cupped her hands in greeting and replied, "That's right."

The man flipped his hand, raising it flat forward. Reaching Tang Leyan, he said, "Do you recognize this?" In his hand appeared something, gleaming with golden light.

Le Yan's gaze fell upon the inscription on the gold plaque, and she quickly bowed, saying, "This disciple greets the Golden Envoy!"

The man smiled faintly: "This is not the place to talk."

Tang Leyan lowered her eyes: "Please come with me, Jin Envoy."

He turned and led the way.

The man followed behind.

Before long, the two arrived at the backyard. Tang Leyan opened the door and went in first: "This is my study. No one usually comes here. I wonder what important matter brings the Jin envoy to Shundu?"

The messenger stepped in, listened quietly for a while, and only after confirming that there was no one else around did he turn around and sit down.

"Since you recognize this token, do you know the origin of the Golden and Silver Envoys?"

A chill ran through Yue Yan's heart. She lowered her head and said, "The Gold and Silver Envoys leave Tianmiao Peak once every three years. Their responsibility is to investigate whether any disciples from Tianmiao Peak have committed any misdeeds. The Gold Envoy is responsible for taking action, and the Silver Envoy is responsible for investigation. I wonder what the Gold Envoy's purpose is in coming here. Is there something wrong with me? And where is the Silver Envoy?"

Jin Shi laughed and said, "Nineteen, you don't need to worry. I'm not here to take action, it's just that..."

His gaze shifted.

Le Yan suddenly noticed a hint of worry in his eyes and couldn't help but ask curiously, "If the Golden Envoy isn't here to find his disciple, then... what is it for?"

Jin Shi rallied his spirits: "Although I didn't come specifically to find you, this matter is related to you." He sighed and said, "Since you left Tianmiao Peak, you haven't committed any major heinous acts. However, the sect leader wants me to tell you that the lives taken in Liangshan are far too bloody. Although it's done on behalf of Heaven, the sect leader still disapproves of your ruthlessness. The sect leader is worried that you have too much karmic burden. I'm afraid..." He paused and said, "However, the sect leader is only doing this for your own good and doesn't mean to blame you. You must understand this."

"Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. I will keep it in mind." Le Yan cupped her hands in thanks.

"The Gold and Silver Envoys will leave Tianmiao Peak once every two years. If any unruly disciples are found, and the Silver Envoy's investigation confirms the situation, this Envoy will take their lives. If there are any doubts, they will be brought back to Tianmiao Peak for the Sect Master to distribute," the Gold Envoy continued.

"yes."

"This time when we came to Shundu, Yin Shi was first in charge of investigating people, but..." Doubt reappeared on his face.

"How is it?" Le Yan knew this matter was extraordinary, and couldn't help but ask.

The Golden and Silver Envoys never miss their target. This year's Golden and Silver Envoys have probably been working together for eight years. In those eight years, they have captured several big shots from Tianmiao Peak. They are particularly ruthless towards the most wicked and evil people. Their martial arts skills are unfathomable. If the Golden and Silver Envoys come to your door, it is usually not a good thing. That is why Leyan felt uneasy when she first saw the gold medal.

However, judging from Jin Shi's appearance at this moment, it seemed that he had encountered a problem.

When Jin asked her, he replied, "I have been in Shundu with Yin for three days."

"Ah..." Le Yan exclaimed softly.

Jin Shi then said, "But... ever since we arrived in Shundu, Yin Shi has gone out to investigate, and she has not returned until now."

"How could this be?!" Le Yan exclaimed in shock. "Could it be that the Golden Envoy suspects... no, no, he must have been delayed by something?"

She said nervously, but also with some worry in her heart, that with the skill and efficiency of using gold and silver, such a thing would never happen, and the claim of delay was completely unfounded.

As expected, Jin nodded: "Yin is always swift and decisive in her work. No matter how difficult the investigation is, she will definitely return to meet with me within a day at most. She did not return on the first day, and I searched the city, but I could not sense her presence at all."

Le Yan swayed: "This...how is this possible!"

A hint of anger and hatred flashed in the Golden Envoy's eyes: "I don't believe it either, but..." Why did the Golden Envoy come to find me? Le Yan felt a chill in her heart and couldn't help but think of this matter.

"Do you know who the Golden and Silver Envoys are going out to investigate this time?"

Upon hearing this, Le Yan met the cold gaze of the Golden Envoy and felt a sudden unease, accompanied by a dull sting.

She naturally knew that the Golden Envoy hadn't come to see her; otherwise, his attitude wouldn't have been so gentle. So…

In this Shundu, among all the people she knew and knew, there was only one person who came from Tianmiao Peak.

She stammered, unable to speak.

Jin Shi looked at her expression and understood what was going on. He said calmly, "You should know by now."

Tang Leyan looked up at the golden envoy, her lips moving slightly.

Jin then said, "Nineteen, do you know why you are called Nineteen?"

Le Yan lowered her head dejectedly: "I know."

The rules on Tianmiao Peak are strict, one of which is that once you come down the mountain, no matter how close you were as fellow disciples on the mountain, you will be like strangers.

This is because they are all people with special identities in the mortal world, and some of them even have unparalleled extraordinary identities. This rule, although it seems strange and cruel, is actually quite humane.

After descending the mountain, everyone became strangers, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

Therefore, according to the order of the disciples who went up the mountain to learn from the master, Tang Leyan was number nineteen with the character "Xuan," while Chu Gexing...

She didn't know, and she never asked.

Ever since she met him on the mountaintop, the "fairy beauty" she had initially thought of, she had been relentlessly pursuing him and begging for his name.

At the time, Chu Gexing didn't speak to her, and she assumed it was because he was arrogant, so she didn't pay any attention to it.

But after being asked several times, Chu Gexing seemed impatient with her pestering him, so he reached out and wrote his name on the thick snow.

It was at that moment that she kept that beautiful name deep in her heart.

Each stroke, as if he were slowly carving it into the snow, is deeply engraved and will never fade.

But……

Tang Leyan was bewildered and lost in thought.

What's past is past, and besides, those were just misunderstandings, and... there's no going back.

If she could, she would never allow herself to be as reckless towards him as she was back then, and that name would never slowly and painstakingly etch itself into her heart.

But she could not forget that scene.

Even later, when I find out he isn't a woman.

She could never forget that beautiful scene.

He stood up, bowed his head, and his long, flowing black hair fell from his shoulders and slid onto the snow.

He stretched out his finger, his slender, white fingers, and with the pointed tip, slowly traced that name on the glistening snow.

The Song of Chu.

Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital, Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Startling Night

He stretched out his finger, his slender, white fingers, and with their pointed tips, slowly traced the name on the glistening snow.

"Chu Gexing?" she read aloud in surprise from the side.

He looked up at her, his eyes glistening, as if they were bathed in the beautiful light of the snow.

"It sounds so beautiful," she said with a smile.

He smiled too.

It resembles a lotus blooming in the snow.

Jin's gaze was sharp.

A chill seemed to pull Tang Leyan back from her reverie.

“Nineteen, do you know why you’re called Nineteen?” Jin asked.

Le Yan nodded: "I know."

"Disciples of Tianmiao Peak only have code names after they go up the mountain. After they come down the mountain, they do not recognize each other. This is the rule."

"yes."

"Then let me ask you... have you... ever violated any rules?"

Le Yan was taken aback.

Looking up at the Golden Envoy's gaze, I vaguely sensed a chilling intent within it.

"Nineteen has always kept Tianmiao's rules firmly in mind, and has never thought of or dared to break them," Le Yan said slowly, bowing.

"Is that so..." Upon hearing this, the Golden Envoy nodded and smiled. "Alright."

Le Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that the Gold and Silver envoys each had their own roles: the Silver envoy was responsible for investigation, while the Gold envoy only needed to take action. According to the Gold envoy, the Silver envoy had never returned after leaving, so... even if there was news, he wouldn't bring it back.

Moreover, she truly never "dared to break the rules." If there was any violation, it was only because Chu Gexing forced her to. In her heart, she never dared to break the rules.

So, from the perspective of sophistry, it's not exactly deception.

"Did the Jin envoy come to Leyan just to inquire about this matter?" She looked into the Jin envoy's eyes.

Jin remained silent.

"It seems the envoy has something difficult to say," she asked.

He just said that he came to Shundu to test someone, but that person was not himself.

She didn't want to reveal the person she was worried about, so she could only be cautious and hint at it indirectly.

The Golden Envoy sighed, "Now that the Silver Envoy has not returned, I am indeed in a difficult position. However..."

He lightly pressed his hand on the table: "If something really goes wrong... Nineteen, you must keep a close eye on things for me in Shundu. This matter is of great importance. I have decided to wait one more day. If there is still no news from the Silver Envoy, I will have no choice but to return to Tianmiao Peak and wait for the Sect Master to make a decision. As for Shundu, I will have to trouble you with this matter."
