Chapter 525: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_4 Chapter 525: Chapter 142 Hu Dayang【Two in One】_4 “…”

A series of interrogations ensued, with answers smoothly returned.

Xiang Liang pressed hard, probing with a series of questions, though he was unable to find any flaws.

Even, looking at the man in front of him, with his simple and honest face who was evidently working hard to earn a living for his wife and children, it felt almost unbearable to make things difficult for him.

Finally, he sighed and candidly said, “When you return from your mission, consider joining our Overlord Hall in Great Chu. I can put in a good word for you.”

A look of surprise appeared on Feng Yin’s face. “Overlord Hall? Really?”

This reaction instantly brightened Xiang Liang’s eyes. “You’re interested? Do you understand that entering Overlord Hall means you have to obey its constraints, and you won’t be as free as you are now?”

Feng Yin responded, “There are always pros and cons in everything. I’m just a wanderer in the pugilistic world, living for money. What I want is a stable life. If I have a steady job, my wife and children can see me more often. Unlike now where… every time I leave, I’m gone for half a year. Ah, I’m tired of this unpredictable life in the pugilistic world…”

“If that’s the case, I’ll speak for you when you return.”

“Thank you for your patronage, Your Highness!”

Feng Yin bowed deeply, the excitement on his face resembled that of a laborer who had finally met a benefactor after a lifetime of hard work.

“Off you go, and remember to find me when you return!”

“Thank you for your care, Your Highness!”

Finally, he had passed the checkpoint.

Feng Yin quickly moved forward.

“Come back!”

“Ah?” Feng Yin paused, completely baffled. What now?

“How far can you get with the amount of silver you have?”

Xiang Liang took out two silver notes from his chest and stuffed them into his hand. “Take some more, to prepare for unexpected situations. Otherwise, you might get overly anxious.”

Feng Yin was stupefied in his candid manner. “Your Highness, I… I… how could I accept this?”

“Take it!”

Xiang Liang forcefully handed it over, very determined. He even joked, “Don’t be modest with me. When you start earning money, I will deduct it from your salary!”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Feng Yin’s voice choked, “Your Highness’s kindness and love for the people is indeed a royal paragon. If you ascend the throne, it would truly be a blessing for us common people…”

“Silence!”

Xiang Liang covered his mouth, shocked but thrilled. Even in his excitement and anticipation, he rebuked, “Can such things be carelessly spoken? The position of Crown Prince will always belong to my older brother!”

“Yes, yes, I spoke without thinking.”

“Good, now go.”

The Seventh prince’s gaze turned even more affectionate.

He felt as if a small action of his had seemingly afforded him the opportunity to place a spy within the Overlord Hall!

What an unexpected gain.

His heart surged with excitement, and he even gave a friendly pat on the shoulder of this ‘Hu Dayang’. “Off you go.”

“Yes, yes, I must take my leave.”

With the pass in hand, Feng Yin leisurely strolled across the mountain pass with gratitude, and even right before leaving, he wiped his eyes, seemingly moved to tears.

“These are all good citizens of Great Chu!”

The Seventh prince sighed, “There are so many ambitious people neglected among the commoners.”

Above.

Shi Jiutu observes Feng Yin’s retreating figure with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Under the influence of Bright Mirror Heart Sword’s method, something seemed off about this Hu Dayang… He couldn’t pinpoint what it was, but under the influence of the Bright Mirror Heart Sword, there was a feeling.

Seeing that the Seventh prince, who was visibly exhausted from this matter, had unexpectedly perked up — rejuvenated and full of energy — Shi Jiutu couldn’t help but shake his head.

Moving quickly, he followed in the direction Feng Yin had gone.

Using the pass given by the Seventh prince, Feng Yin freely crossed the line. After that, he straight up used his normal martial arts techniques and headed straight towards the Broken Jade City. He bought medicine and food in Broken Jade City by the book and indeed bought those tough and substantial dead-faced buns.

After some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and purchased a goatskin wine flask to carry on his back.

And then he stood in front of the door of a store, seemingly struggling with a painful decision, before finally going in. He bought a sleeping bag, but adamantly refused to buy a quilt-cover.

The hardship of a martial artist forced to scrounge for a living was vividly presented.
