Chapter 639: Chapter 640: Go In For A Cup Of Tea?_1

Nan Feng traveled around the Provincial City for several days, going through all the names listed in the register.

Without her realizing it, she ended up near Mr. Long’s mansion again.

Of course, Nan Feng wouldn’t visit Mr. Long’s mansion for no reason. She just happened to see Butler Yan coming out as she passed by the mansion. She greeted him as was customary for acquaintances, but Butler Yan asked her to wait outside while he called for Mr. Long.

"Ah..." before she could utter a word in protest, Nan Feng watched helplessly as Butler Yan entered the mansion, her hand frozen in mid-air.

Since Butler Yan had already gone in to inform Mr. Long, she did not feel right leaving abruptly.

Mr. Long was a great person in her eyes, they were friends. Due to their common connection with Wild Brother, he had been good to her. But she knew that good friends also needed space. With the many internal affairs of the Dragon Tooth Gang, coupled with his poor health, Nan Feng felt it was inappropriate to disturb him without any particular business.

After Butler Yan went inside, a figure in a white robe appeared at the door. He was handsome with a hint of subtle aloofness, and behind that aloofness, there was a touch of warmth.

"Master Long," Nan Feng got off the carriage and greeted lightly as she approached him. She quickly clarified, "I was just passing by and bumped into Butler Yan, who went inside to inform you. I do not have any particular business."

Mr. Long smiled lightly, "You can come in for a cup of tea even if you have no business."

"Let’s do it another time," There wasn’t much point sitting together over tea without anything to discuss.

Nan Feng said, "I have some other things to attend to. Do you remember the incident where I faked being ill? Now that I’ve stopped feigning sickness, Leader Wan has resumed visiting me. Out of politeness, I had to oblige."

"Oh? Is it the task about consolidating the rouge industry?" Mr. Long asked.

"Exactly," Nan Feng touched her forehead, "It’s really not a good task."

"If you really can’t refuse it, then just accept," Mr. Long said, "This isn’t your fault. If there are any repercussions, I’ll testify for you."

"Have you heard anything from Wild Brother lately?" Nan Feng asked. She missed Wild Brother dearly and would not pass up on any chance to ask about him.

"Guardian Xia hasn’t sent any letters recently, but no news is good news," Mr. Long looked at the deserted street outside, "The outside world is not peaceful after all. Be careful, try not to go out too much."

"Alright, I understand. I’ll be careful," Nan Feng thanked him with a grateful smile.

...

The Qin Manor.

The governor stood fearfully before Qin Kun, handling each word with extreme caution.

"The ten thousand elite soldiers left the Capital City by land, not by sea. Even if they were slow, it would take no more than ten days to reach here. But five days have passed, and not a single courier has arrived. Did the men sent out find any information? Is it Cai Siyuan who refuses to dispatch troops, or the Emperor who disagrees?"

"Sir Qin, we just received a message from a Pigeon from the Capital City saying that the ten thousand elite soldiers have already set off. The journey may have been delayed due to continuous spring rain, so please be patient," the governor replied.

"How can I not be impatient? Wasn’t it agreed by the Emperor? What is Cai Siyuan trying to pull? Is he considering rebellion?"

"Master Cai... most likely not, he’s most loyal to you, Sir Qin. I guess he might... be carefully selecting troops. He probably intends to pick the most elite soldiers for you. In reality, he is considering things from your perspective."
