Peace Order-Chapter 94 - 66: Fate of the Heavens, I Decide!_3

"Quite worthy of you indeed!"

Li Guanyi, upon hearing the mockery in the voice, replied irritably, "It’s redeemed!"

Xue Shuangtao burst out laughing, extended a pale hand, and stood there coquettishly, asking:

"How much did it cost?"

Li Guanyi placed the jade pendant in the girl’s palm and stated proudly:

"A full fifteen taels of silver."

Xue Shuangtao laughed so hard she couldn’t straighten her back.

She tossed the jade pendant back into Li Guanyi’s arms.

Li Guanyi did not reveal the worries in his heart.

However, acquiring the soft armor had been a good thing; he had gone back and changed out of his green, toad-like official uniform into a dark blue everyday garment, tying his hair back with a wooden hairpin, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, and his brows slightly raised, he looked a lot more heroic than he usually did with a leather belt.

On the rhino horn belt, there were seven items for a martial officer.

A saber, a short knife, a whetstone, a core needle, a marlinspike, a needle tube, and a fire striker pouch.

The core needle was a thing passed from the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions, used for carving characters.

The marlinspoke was a tool for untying tight knots in ropes.

Li Guanyi wore an inner garment, with a layer of soft armor over it, then covered it with a dark blue round-necked robe, and with the martial officer’s rhino horn belt around his waist, he indeed looked more like a martial officer than the appearance of a Guest Elder or loose official from before, even Xue Daoyong couldn’t help but express his admiration.

Saying that if he were a few years older and rode on horseback through the avenues of Jiangzhou, there would be officials’ daughters tossing fruits into his arms from the second floor of a painted pavilion.

But not now, not now.

"Still a bit too young."

"Although some aristocratic young ladies might fancy a boy of this age, a boy under fifteen involved in a clandestine affair, especially with a rising star among the imperial martial officers, would result in the Ti Qi battering down the door."

Clang clang clang!

Open up, the night incense is here!

Xue Shuangtao, teased by the elder, watched Li Guanyi for a moment and, not knowing why, retorted:

"Why would those girls have such bad manners, to throw fruit in the street?"

"Indeed, while being a Guest Elder is not bad, it certainly hasn’t reached such a level, right?"

"Besides,"

the girl looked at Li Guanyi with a smile brimming with mirth: "This frivolous boy, fruits wouldn’t even make a dent on him, it would need ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand pounds of white jade."

Li Guanyi felt that the young lady had a misunderstanding about him.

Xue Shuangtao, recalling her act of throwing the jade pendant just now, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Ultimately, Li Guanyi tucked the official document for crossing the border under his pillow.

One day it would be useful, he thought, but now he must increase his strength even faster, even knowing his identity had not been exposed.

But the need to go to the Capital City was pressing on him.

The Capital City was where martial artists converged.

The Night Rider Cavalry who had once pursued him were all of the second realm standard.

He was still too weak; without reaching the second realm, he felt unsettled about entering the Capital City.

He cultivated his technique, and meanwhile in the sky, the light from the White Tiger Seven Stars grew fiercer by the day, at a time when the Emperor of Chen Country easily used the Heart Skill of an emperor, balancing the Royal Family, the nobility, officials, and the military, looking down upon the regions of Jiangnan and Southwest.

The Golden Winged Great Peng arrived at the border.

The Duke Ying’s son, Mr. Yuwen, caught sight of Li Guanyi’s strategy.

The girl’s eyes suddenly lit up, but as she looked at the place where the text [This inclusion...] was interrupted, she couldn’t help but feel annoyed and lightly pounded the table with her fist, swearing with a laugh: "Such a strategy tantalizes the appetite but it’s hateful and vexing to be interrupted like this."

"This person is in Chen Country..."

"Chen Country!"

The girl paced back and forth, then suddenly smiled and mused to herself:

"Such a strategy, could it not be an invitation for me to meet him?"

"To have seen such a strategy, could it not be destiny ordained by heaven?"

"If I say it’s fate, then it must be fate!"

"Fine, in two months, during the great festival of Chen Country, I shall replace my elder brother as the envoy."

"I do want to see for myself, just what this young prodigy looks like!"
