Chapter 89: Two People, One Person Part Three
Zhuo Buyi was at a loss for words after hearing this response.
“I’m surprised that you can still joke around in this situation,” Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie shook his head and replied, “I’m not joking; I’m really thirsty.”
Zhuo Buyi stared at him and asked, “Did you know that you almost died at the tea shop outside the city?”
“I know,” Fang Jie replied with a smile, “But I’m not dead.”
“It is because you were lucky,” Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie continued to look at the green peaches and swallow saliva. “Perhaps; it seems like my luck has been good.”

-Smooth Spring Garden-
The Emperor looked at Luo Weiran who was standing outside the room and slightly bowing forward. He nodded and said, “Come in and talk… Where did you arrange that young man?”
“He is waiting at the Royal Guard.” Luo Weiran walked into the room and replied with his head lowered.
“What do you think?” the Emperor asked.
Luo Weiran thought for a moment and replied, “Since Your Majesty already has an opinion, I don’t dare to have one.”
The Emperor froze for a second before cursing with a smile, “You are a flatterer; you should be executed. Just state your mind; your flattery skill is far inferior to that of Su Buwei.”
Su Buwei who was serving the Emperor on the side smiled awkwardly before refilling the Emperor’s teacup and backing away to a corner.
At this moment, Luo Weiran suddenly realized that even though Su Buwei was standing beside the Emperor, he felt like he couldn’t find this eunuch. Su Buwei was standing there, but it felt like he was a chair, a table, or a decoration; his presence didn’t feel like that of a person.
Therefore, Luo Weiran grew more respectful toward Su Buwei who was recently promoted to hold the ink brush for His Majesty.
Luo Weiran lowered his head and replied, “I didn’t see anything unique about this young man. However, since that man took this young man as his disciple and even saved this young man’s life with a small golden pill, the most miraculous godly medicine in the world, he must have his reasons. I don’t understand it. It seems like this young man can’t cultivate, and his knees are a bit too soft…”
He was referring to how Fang Jie was willing to kneel.
“You are the Royal Guard Captain, and he is only a small scout from a border city. Kneeling toward you is following the rules of Great Sui. I’m only disappointed that he treasures his life too much. When people treasure their lives, they would lose their loyalty.”
“I was worried about that as well. However, he still has pride as a soldier of Great Sui.”
“Yeah, I like his pride.” After a moment of silence, the Emperor said, “Bring him to Smooth Spring Garden. Regardless if this young man is qualified to be his disciple or not, it is already an unchangeable fact. It has been more than ten years, and this young man is the last person who saw him. I want to ask this young man how he looked like and where did he go.”
“Then, what about the incident with the Ministry of War?” Luo Weiran probed carefully.
“Of course, I can’t let him go this easily. After I ask him these questions, I will think about what to do with him.” The Emperor waved his hand and said, “Also, go and investigate why a small scout is being protected by a top-tier level 8 master. To save him, a top-tier level 8 master dared to break the law and attack the Ministry of War. I want to know if there is something behind this.”
“As you wish!” Luo Weiran replied and left the room with a bent back.
…
At this moment, Fang Jie who was staring at the green peaches did suddenly understand something.
He slapped his forehead and shouted, “That crippled old man lied to me again! What did he mean? What two people? There is only one person!”
Meanwhile, Monk Chenya who had entered Chang’an looked around the streets.
Seeing the pride and fulfillment on the people’s faces and sensing the vibrant energy and vitality from these people who had no religions, Chenya couldn’t help but frown and murmur to himself, “Master is correct. This is indeed a place where devils and demons run loose.”
“I’m surprised that you can still joke around in this situation,” Zhuo Buyi said.
Fang Jie shook his head and replied, “I’m not joking; I’m really thirsty.”
Zhuo Buyi stared at him and asked, “Did you know that you almost died at the tea shop outside the city?”
