Chapter 56

Zhao Jiangui has no choice but to go in once more.

Ji Han has already returned to his room, sitting beside the table. He's currently staring at the stick of tanghulu in his hand, dazed and lost in thought.

Zhao Jiangui makes noise, asking him, "You don't plan on eating it?"

Unexpectedly Ji Han actually jumps in fright because of him.

"When did you come in?" Ji Han says, "How come I didn't hear it."

Zhao Jiangui's wrinkles up his brows slightly, "What are you thinking about? How come you didn't even hear the sounds of footsteps."

Speaking of martial arts practitioners, this is actually somewhat unusual.

Ji Han, "I..."

He hangs his head, seems like he doesn't want to talk.

Zhao Jiangui is afraid the indescribable fire will come back. He stands far away by the door, saying to Ji Han, "Hua Hufa made me bring word to you, she says the Eagle Hall's Wei Tangzhu has already arrived down the mountain, waiting for your summons."

Ji Han, "Why didn't she come in and tell me herself?"

Zhao Jiangui, "She fears your anger."

Ji Han, "..."

With utmost care, Zhao Jiangui asks, "You... You're truly angry?"

Ji Han is taciturn a long while, suddenly says furiously, "You're causing me to lose so much face!"

Zhao Jiangui, "Ah?"

Ji Han, "The mouths of those people, one is bigger than the next, if it spreads across Jianghu..."

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

He suddenly recalls the story he made up about Bashan Daxia and Mobei's twin heroes.

Ji Han, "I'm afraid in another few days, everyone in Jianghu must all know you and I..."

He can't go on speaking.

Zhao Jiangui thinks carefully. He thinks those people seemed to actually not know who he is at all, he also never heard someone call out his name.

Zhao Jiangui hastily consoles Ji Han, saying, "Don't worry, they really don't know who I am."

Ji Han's expression however seems even worse.

Ji Han, "That's just even more terrible, I'm afraid it can't be shaken in a few days, the information will just spread across Jianghu."

Zhao Jiangui is puzzled, "What?"

"The Demon Sect's new sect leader is so young--" Ji Han grits his teeth angrily, "And already keeping a spoiled man."*

Zhao Jiangui, "..."

Zhao Jiangui is still confused.

These two things appear to not make much of a difference, why is Ji Han's reaction this big then.

He can't help opening his mouth to inquire.

Ji Han replies to him, "Of course it's not the same."

Zhao Jiangui, "Where is it different?"

"...In any case, it's just different." Ji Han resists a sentence, suddenly raising his volume, "You... Who did you just say is waiting down the mountain?"

Zhao Jiangui says, "I heard it's your Eagle Hall's Wei Tangzhu."

Ji Han calls the guards from outside, dispatches them to go invite Wei Qi to come up to the sect.
