Chapter 62: Why Are They Being So Bold All Of A Sudden?

Bian Zhonghua had been guarding the Residence for the past few days, so the times Qi Ci and him met were very limited. When he saw that Bian Zhonghua had come to look for him, Qi Ci’s mood improved right away. Even though Bian Zhonghua came to Qi Ci with the excuse to ask for ink and a brush, how could Bian Zhonghua come all the way to ask the Prince for something he could easily ask a servant for? Of course, Qi Ci didn’t notice how strange this situation was and hurried to open the door: “Yes, come in.”

After Qi Ci took out a brush and ink from the bookshelf, he went to give it to Bian Zhonghua. However, when he saw Bian Zhonghua looking at the food boxes with pastries inside, Qi Ci took one food box and handed it to Bian Zhonghua together with the brush and the ink: “These are all for you. I bought them on the street last time I went out, they’re very delicious.”

Bian Zhonghua bent his eyes and said: “Then I thank His Highness in advance.”

After saying that, Bian Zhonghua put away the food box, studied the ink, and dipped the brush in it. Then, as soon as he spread out a piece of letter paper, he wrote a few words.

Qi Ci asked: “Is the monster still refusing to show itself?”

Bian Zhonghua shook his head.

“What will happen to all the Gongzi if that monster refuses to show up?” Qi Ci asked with worry.

Bian Zhonghua then said: “After the snake is full-term, if the feathered man doesn’t come to fetch it, it will die in the ‘womb’. However, if this were to happen, those Gongzi will also die. I think that feathered man is also gambling on who will survive in the end, him or us.”

Qi Ci asked: “What can we do?”

After Bian Zhonghua finished writing the letter, he blew it gently to make the ink dry faster: “To be honest…I don’t know what to do.” After a pause, Bian Zhonghua smiled and said: “But I can ask someone I know if there’s any other way.”

Right after saying that, Bian Zhonghua shook his fingertips lightly and a chain of light wrapped around the letter. Then, the letter turned into a pigeon that fluttered its wings and flew out of the window.

At that same time, approximately 5km away from the Lu Family Village, deep inside a forest, Qin Yicang was sitting on a thick branch with his hands behind his head acting as a pillow, with one foot bent and the other hanging down. Lin Baihu, on the other hand, was not that far away from him, looking with an expressionless face towards the direction of the Lu Family Village.

Qin Yicang was chatting with Lin Baihu: “I heard that there have been many rebellious monsters wandering around these days. Why are they being so bold all of a sudden?”

Lin Baihu put his hand on the tree trunk and said faintly: “Recently, there have been rumors that Lord Bian’s soul has disappeared in the Naihe Bridge.”

Qin Yicang said: “No wonder, in the past Lord Bian was so intimidating that no monster dared to do evil at will. Now, due to the rumors, many monsters and demons have come out unrestrainedly to play tricks. Speaking of which, Bian Zhonghua and the others have been staying in this Lu Family Village for quite a long time. Should I go and see what’s going on?”

Just when Qin Yicang was about to get up, Lin Baihu spoke: “Wait, we can’t interfere. If Lord Bian finds out that we have been following him all the way, it won’t be easy to explain.”

Qin Yicang leaned back against the trunk and said: “Alright then.”

At that moment, a pigeon with bright wings suddenly appeared in the sky, flying all the way to Lin Baihu. Once it approached Lin Baihu, the pigeon turned into a letter that floated down to him. After Lin Baihu picked up the letter, he read it carefully for a while. Then, Lin Baihu’s fingers touched the letter, forming a few strokes in the paper, and with a wave of his hand, the letter turned back into a pigeon that flew in the direction of the Lu Family Village.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Yicang asked with curiosity.

“Lord Bian asked me if I knew a way to abort a snake fetus,” Lin Baihu replied.

Qin Yicang was slightly surprised: “Is this related to the man in feathered clothes? No wonder he stayed so long. It turns out they went to get rid of a demon. I heard that the men in feathered clothes are cunning. Will Bian Zhonghua be able to-….”

Lin Baihu shook his head: “Lord Bian isn’t in such bad shape that he won’t be able to deal with that feathered man.”

Not long after, Bian Zhonghua, who was still in Qi Ci’s room, received the letter from Lin Baihu: “Hmm? The reply came faster than I expected.”

As he spoke, Bian Zhonghua opened the letter, read it twice, and smiled: “Hmm, so there is a way to deal with him after all.”

The solution was decided, and it wasn’t too late to act, so Bian Zhonghua got up and bid his farewell to Qi Ci, and Qi Ci became bored again. However, all of a sudden, Qi Ci remembered what he originally wanted to do, so he picked up another food box with pastries inside and left the Residence.

Qi Ci went alone to a dilapidated wooden house on the outskirts of the forest, where Lu Yu lived.

With a similar life experience to his own, Qi Ci couldn’t bear Lu Yu giving up his life, but because Qi Ci didn’t know how to persuade him, he thought of buying some thick clothes, ink, food and other objects he thought Lu Yu may need. This way, he brought these items to Lu Yu, placed them in the small courtyard, and then walked away quietly.

This time, as usual, Qi Ci put the food box with pastries in front of the fence, turned around, and began to walk away.

Unexpectedly, the soft creaking of the wooden door sounded behind him, and then someone called out to Qi Ci: “Wait!”
