Chapter 90: Body Is Only the Representation Part One
“What two people and one person?” Zhuo Buyi didn’t understand Fang Jie’s words.
When the enlightened expression appeared on Fang Jie’s face, he couldn’t help but walk around the courtyard, and he still couldn’t believe what he had guessed.
“You are his disciple; you don’t need to kneel. If you stated your connection to him when you entered Chang’an, no one would want to and dare to mess with you.
When he was at that tea shop, the man who brought him to this place said this. Upon further thinking, Fang Jie’s mind became clearer. He sighed and couldn’t believe how lucky he was.
He was surprised that the man in cyan who he met at Fangu had such a background.
He was more shocked the more he thought about it. In the end, he started to laugh.
“You have gone crazy?” Zhuo Buyi rolled his eyes at Fang Jie and asked.
“No.” Fang Jie stopped laughing and replied, “I only thought of something funny, and I couldn’t help but feel like I’m an idiot. I only understood everything now.”
Then, he asked Zhuo Buyi, “Is there a place for me to wash my face?”
Zhuo Buyi was confused and wondered why this young man’s thoughts were all over the place. He asked, “Wash face? For what?”
Fang Jie replied, “If nothing goes wrong, His Majesty is going to summon me. Since I’m going to meet the Emperor, I better wash up a little. It isn’t respectful to have dirt on my face.”
Zhuo Buyi was stunned for a moment and took another good look at Fang Jie. Then, he suddenly understood everything and said, “I’m surprised that you only figured out that man’s identity; you sure are an idiot. More surprisingly, that fat daoist fooled the Royal Guard Captain and His Majesty. You aren’t his disciple.”
Fang Jie was also surprised, and then he said with frustration, “You can’t kick me when I’m down.”
“This doesn’t count,” Zhuo Buyi replied, “I said that you are someone who has a strong mind; it isn’t easy for me to read your mind. However, everyone would be affected by emotions. When you are happy, sad, or angry, your guard would drop. Since you were a bit elated earlier, I saw what you were thinking.”
Fang Jie shook his head and said, “Yeah, I’m not that person’s disciple. But are you planning to reveal it?”
Zhuo Buyi shook his head and replied, “I don’t care about your life, but I finally found a great talent. If you die, Xiaoyao wouldn’t live well.”
“Thank you.” Fang Jie smiled, feeling like the sky was even bluer.
“Don’t be too happy,” Zhuo Buyi said seriously, “It is hard to figure out His Majesty’s mind. The fact he didn’t kill you now doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t kill you in the future. Perhaps after he figures everything out, he will order guards to drag you out of Smooth Spring Garden and chop you into pieces. Don’t be elated; think about how to perfect this lie.”
“That damn Xiang Qingniu!” Fang Jie cursed in a low voice, “He didn’t tell me anything. If he told me what he told the Royal Guard Captain, I wouldn’t be here and worried about how not to contradict what he said.”
At this moment, a guard walked over, bowed at Zhuo Buyi, and then said to Fang Jie, “Come with me.”
“Where?”
“Smooth Spring Garden.”
…
Floating Cloud Pavilion was one of the famous restaurants in Chang’an. It had about 100 years of history, and its business was good with influential people coming here for small gatherings. It was heard that the owner of this restaurant came from the Cui Family, but it was probably a rumor that the owner passed out to make him seem stronger.
Most people would make themselves sound good. Almost everyone with the last name of Wang would say that they were related to Yangtze-South Wang Family, and even those with the last name of Li who never left Chang’an would say that they were related to Long-West Li Family.
It was already dark, but the customers in Floating Cloud Pavilion were still having fun. It wasn’t hard for restaurants to be successful in peaceful times, especially in Chang’an. Even ordinary people would eat at restaurants occasionally, and Chang’an didn’t lack rich people.
A few people had entered a private room on the second floor of Floating Cloud Pavilion for a while, and the table was full of dishes and liquor.
When a waiter went in to add tea, he found that these people almost didn’t eat anything and only drank a ton of liquor. Five big jugs of liquor had been served in this room; it showed how much these four people could drink.
Among these four men, the one who caught the most attention was more than two meters tall and looked like an iron tower. The top of his shirt was unbuttoned, showing the bronze skin. His chest muscles looked like they were made of rocks.
Even when this man was sitting down, he gave others a strong pressure. The most shocking thing was the black kirin tattoo on his chest.
His name was Qi Lin, meaning kirin. This wasn’t his real name; he almost forgot his real name after being called Qi Lin by others for more than 15 years.
