41 The two mission in the jade slip

Gerel is looking at the androgynous youth who has a beautiful appearance with a petite shape but have a tall body of a grown woman. He's cupped his hand and salute at Azanah and Fatty Pao who's picking himself up.

"Miss Azanah, No need for ceremony. I'm very grateful for both of you and your master help. This might be rude for both of you that help me but…" The atmosphere within the hut tense up a bit before Gerel ask in a serious tone.

"For what purpose did you and your master save me?"

Both Fatty Pao and Azanah looking at each other before making a complicated expression, They didn't know whether it's appropriate or not to tell this man a reason, But fatty walk up and looking at this man in earnest.

"No, It's not a direct order from my master to help you instead his exact command is somewhat not good for Duke Tian Dong and the northern coalition that is still siding with him."

"What!? You! " Gerel quickly stands up and prepare a fighting stance, but the tick branch pierces through the floor and wraps itself around Gerel until he can't move even an inch.

"Well... Could you please listen to me until I finish? your excellency?" Fatty scratch his head in awkwardness then continues.

"It's true that we need to do our mission by sabotage the northern coalition. But the reason why we save you is not to use you as a tool. In fact, you are an In-Law of our master! That's the real reason why we save you."

"What do you mean?" Gerel immediately asks with a face full of confusion.

Fatty and Azanah are looking at each other in understanding. It seems Duke Tian Dong is doing a great job to block all the news from the Great Phoenix empire to leak out here. His Excellency didn't know any news in The Great Phoenix Empire at all.

Fatty turns to Gerel and releases him from binding. The tree that was pierced through the floor is slowly returned to the ground.

"Well… It's like this, Your Excellency."

Fatty then starts to tell Gerel everything that happened within the Great Phoenix Empire. It starts with Fatty receive two mission from Zhu Wushang. The first one is to destabilize the northern coalition and the second one is to find his uncle-in-law.

Because Zhu Wushang knows from Tian Xiulan back then when they're staying at Zhu Manor. That her mother the Empress is the princess from the northern barbarian tribe which got kidnapped by the bandit that attack her tribe about 20 years ago.

Gerel felt shocked, this information bring revelation and joy to him, But Duke Tian Dong always teach him not to trust anyone with his action. That's why Gerel asks fatty about the distinguished feature about his sister. And fatty almost always correct that answer the one that he can't tell is the lore question that he set up for fatty.

After Gerel heard all the answer from fatty, he's closed his eye and sit still to think about it. His face is hard to describe it's like he's eating a very bitter vegetable, but he can't spit it out or swallow it.

"Fine, I'll trust you, but Duke Tian Dong told me that he has very critical information that can save our northern tribe. I need to get that from him first so… huh?" Gerel got interrupted by the metal plate in fatty hand that inscribes with the information transferring formation it's nearly identical as Duke Tian Dong let him see.

Fatty then gives it to Gerel.

"What!? this is!" He received it from fatty and injected his spirits qi into the plate, and the image of the formation effect to the construction method transfer into his mind with the clear image and he can slowly comprehend it later. And that's just the start of the shocking information.

There're other formations like killing formation imprisoned formation even the formation that can build along the earth feng shui and change the northern realm climate from the snow-covered field into the tropical land full of life and vitality forever!.

"This! Where did you get this from? your master?" Gerel asks in shocked and disbelief. He never thought that the information of this heaven-defying formation would be in his hands one day.

Both of them nodded to answer the question from Gerel.

"Is this information is what you want? Your Excellency?" Fatty asks in a teasing tone and Gerel immediately answer him.

"Of course! It's more than I could have hoped for!!" Gerel excitedly answer.

Fatty smile at Gerel and tell him his mind.

"Actually your excellency. There's something we need your help with. It's crucial to the plan of my master."

Then fatty start to tell Gerel about the plan that would effectively destabilize Duke Tian Dong army influence.

Gerel heard that, and he's laughing out loud and thought.

[Tian Dong oh Tian Dong. Of all the world the people that you could offend you just offend my niece-in-law. I'll wait for you to get drag from you high horse into the mud!!]
