Chu Qingning was overjoyed and rushed forward to embrace Lan Qiongzhen, “Fifth sister, you’re finally back! Your fourth sister has been waiting for you every day.”
Chu Qingzhi had communicated with Chu Qingning beforehand, so Chu Qingning knew that Chu Qingzhi hadn’t perished.
Lan Qiongzhen did not move, her eyes welling up with tears. She too had a sister, but everything had vanished when the assassins invaded, “Sister.”
Chu Qingning stiffened, releasing Lan Qiongzhen, and stared at her warily, “You are not my fifth sister.”
The scent on her was wrong, her voice was wrong, the feeling of her embrace was wrong, and Qingzhi would never call her sister, but always fourth sister.
She turned to Tang Jinghong, “What’s going on?”
Tang Jinghong explained in a low voice, “Do you understand now?”
Chu Qingning nodded, “If that’s the case, I’ll take care of her.” She beckoned to Lan Qiongzhen, “Come inside with me.”
Lan Qiongzhen bowed to Tang Jinghong and followed Chu Qingning into the camp tent.
Tang Jinghong returned to the main tent and summoned Wen Shaoyuan, “Keep a close watch on Lan Qiongzhen, do not allow any mistakes.”
Wen Shaoyuan, the leader of Tang Jinghong’s secret guards, was always tasked with handling these covert matters.
Wen Shaoyuan cupped his fists. “Yes, General.”
Elsewhere, the persona Chu Qingzhi had adopted, Hong Feiyun, was successfully rescued and taken to a Yun Organization stronghold called Shangyun.
The Yun Organization was immensely large, spreading through the eastern border like a spider web, already infiltrating every aspect of the region. To eradicate this organization was no overnight feat, nor an easy one. The stronghold mentioned had over a hundred locations, this being one of the smaller ones, and it was also Zeng Huo’s first visit.
In a room, Hong Feiyun feigned severe injuries while Zeng Huo covered for her, bringing in a doctor for treatment. Now, she was resting in bed.
Hong Feiyu came to see her, “Sister, look at how miserable you are, you were beaten so badly.”
Hong Feiyun opened her eyes and slightly turned her head to look at Hong Feiyu, “Are you happy now that your sister is ‘dead’?”
Now that she had become Hong Feiyun, she couldn’t let Hong Feiyu become an obstacle; she needed to pull her in as an ally.
She hadn’t expected Hong Feiyun to still not have killed Hong Feiyu, nor had she ever taken the latter out on missions. Blood ties were not so easily severed.
Hong Feiyu’s face flashed with anger, “Hong Feiyun, you always think so highly of yourself. Just because you’re the older sister, do you think you’re so great?”
Hong Feiyun cut to the chase, “I’m giving Mu Xiao to you, from now on he’ll work for you.”
This statement confused Hong Feiyu, “What do you mean?”
Hong Feiyun repeated, “I don’t fancy Mu Xiao anymore, I’m letting him be yours.”
Hong Feiyu stepped back, incredulous and somewhat angry, “Why would you give him to me? Do I need your charity?”
“You’re my sister, we shouldn’t become enemies over a man,” Hong Feiyun earnestly looked at Hong Feiyu, “If I get involved, you’ll never be able to be with Mu Xiao.”
Hong Feiyu’s rage almost materialized, “Why are you doing this? You act all conceding when I hate you, why? Are you expecting my gratitude?”
Hong Feiyun was even more sincere, “Because you’re my sister. After the life-and-death ordeal just now, I realized nothing is more important than family.”
Hong Feiyu stared blankly at Hong Feiyun, not believing her words. She knew how much Hong Feiyun liked Mu Xiao; how could she simply let go?
As she was lost in thought, Zeng Huo’s voice rang out from outside the door, “Master, Mu Xiao has arrived.”
Both Hong Feiyun and Hong Feiyu turned towards the door.
Hong Feiyun gave Hong Feiyu a look, it’s your decision whether to see him or not.
After a struggle, Hong Feiyu went to open the door. Seeing Mu Xiao at the door, her expression became complex for a moment, “Come in, my sister is severely injured and can’t be exposed to the wind.”
Mu Xiao glanced at Hong Feiyu and walked into the room, approaching the bed, “I heard about your accident and came to see how you were.”
Hong Feiyun looked at Mu Xiao, surprised that the person responsible for recruiting members into the organization was a scholar with a refined appearance, “Thank you.”
Mu Xiao, showing concern, said, “I also know some medical techniques, let me take your pulse.”
A doctor too? Hong Feiyun thought, wondering why such a person would join the Yun Organization, “No need, the doctors have already treated my wounds.”
Mu Xiao insisted, “I’m not reassured, let me check.”
This scene made Hong Feiyu breathe faster with jealousy; she always said Mu Xiao liked her sister, his concern was proof enough.
Ridiculous, Hong Feiyun had just said she was giving Mu Xiao to her, surely she was just showing off.
The more Hong Feiyu thought about it, the angrier she got, and then stormed out.
Mu Xiao turned his head slightly, “Feiyu probably needs to go through some things before she can grow up, she’s still just a child at heart, don’t take it to heart.”
“I won’t hold it against her,” Hong Feiyun observed Mu Xiao’s expression, it seemed that Mu Xiao really did like Hong Feiyun, and treated Hong Feiyu like a sister?
As Mu Xiao took her pulse, he said soothingly, “You’re injured now, try to stay calm, I’ll talk to Feiyu.”
Hong Feiyun looked up into space, thinking to herself, Mu Xiao could even tell how agitated she was just by taking her pulse, his medical skills must be more than just superficial, “I know, my sister is always impulsive, you must really talk to her, she always listens to you.”
Mu Xiao paused, “Don’t misunderstand, I also just see Feiyu as a sister.”
So…
Mu Xiao saw Hong Feiyun staring blankly at him and felt somewhat unable to bear it, “Don’t you understand after all these years?”
She understood, but the ‘she’ he referred to probably didn’t.
At that moment, a dreadful guess formed in her mind: Mu Xiao liked Hong Feiyun, but Hong Feiyun, knowing Hong Feiyu also liked Mu Xiao, had never accepted him?
If that was the case, it was truly melodramatic to the extreme.
“Don’t look at me like that, I’m sorry.” Mu Xiao said awkwardly and hurried away.
Zeng Huo came in, “Did they all leave angry because of you?”
Hong Feiyun sat up in bed, “They’re angry at themselves, I haven’t got the time for that.” Love triangles, the most annoying.
Zeng Huo stroked his chin, “Leaving angry isn’t the worst, I’m more worried they might end up dead because of it, what’s our next step?”
Hong Feiyun thought for a moment and asked, “Where is Left Emissary?”
She needed to meet this Left Emissary to better mimic his behavior.
Zeng Huo replied, “Left Emissary has been at another stronghold for the past few days, you won’t be able to meet him anytime soon, luckily you didn’t see him, otherwise he would have to hold you accountable, do you know how much you’ve cost the organization?”
