Qibo halted his steps, subconsciously, Yanxun revealed the shocking fact earlier.
Qibo is late to realize the identity of the mentioned. Yanxun discussed Zhu Zhishu who turned out to be Master Shi, while Qibo himself discussed Zhan Xishi who was Master Shi.
He had just realized, Zhan Xishi and Zhu Zhishu were the same person.
However, in addition, he was still confused about the current change in Zhishu's nature.
He looked even colder, his sharp gaze, even his laughter looked even more sinister. Moreover, the current Zhishu seemed to only show his dark side without showing the usual nature Xishi showed.
' They are similar but not the same.. Could they be twins? This question, should be answered by the eldest Brother, right? ' Qibo murmured in the heart.
After descending the mountain, Qibo and Yanxun parted ways in the middle of the road. Yanxun was going back to Ming City, whereas Qibo was going back to Luo Village to ask Zheyan something.
Meanwhile, in the tall tower of Ye Shashou, King Xiali was still in Zhishu's room and accompanied him. Zhishu himself was still unconscious.
The next night, Zhishu woke up, he looked around but there was no one. There was only the fragrant smell of King Xiali left behind in his room.
Zhishu lowered his legs and sat on the edge of the bed while trying to stabilize his gaze.
' I'm too imposing.. That's enough, Zhu Zhishu. ' his inner murmur.
Zhishu stepped towards the window, he stared at the perfectly rounded moon in the sky.
Shortly after, a pair of hands coiled around his waist. As usual, he always hugged Zhishu from behind.
" Why wake up? Your body is not well, I don't like you passing out in front of me! "
" His Majesty King Xiali, if you don't like it you can instantly heal me.. No need to scold me like this! " reply Zhishu.
" no. If I did, you would never be clumsy and care less about your own body.. I've taken that thing from your body, so without my help, you can't neutralize the wound or the pain in an instant! " obviously King Xiali.
Hearing that, Zhishu began to understand, who gave the ability was King Xiali, it was no wonder that Zhexuan and Zheyan did not have it.
Shortly after, King Xiali let go of his embrace, then put a robe on Zhishu's body.
" If you can't take care of your own body, how can you take care of your people? Do it from yourself, a leader must think clearly, not everyone has a body like you, remember that". "the King concluded Xiali before finally disappearing.
Zhishu turned his body and saw no one there. As he lowered his gaze, he was shocked when he saw the striking red robe with the golden dragon motif.
The fragrance was the same as the body of King Xiali, yet Zhishu did not show any expression after showing his surprised face.
" At least, tell me you want to go! " murm Zhishu quietly.
The next day, Zhishu reassembled his spies and held an important meeting.
The spies again spread, to the five corners of the city. Si Yin would go with Zhishu and Xuemei to the capital, while Limei would remain on the mountain just in case.
Diwei Ling will also participate as a spy in the Capital while guarding Zhishu and Xuemei. This way, there is nothing to worry about.
Zhishu came down the mountain when afternoon came, while his spies went down at night.
This was the first time Bai Xuan Xuemei had gone to the Capital. He was very excited to go there, even though Zhishu himself did not know what kind of danger lay ahead of him. He was aware of the great risk of carrying a child, but his desire to make Xuemei happy could not be stopped.
Unlike usual, Zhishu this time came out wearing dark clothes and robes of matching colors.
Stranger things he did, if previously he always covered his face with a mask or mask. This time, he did not wear a single one between his two identification marks.
Meanwhile, some of Diwei Ling's words yesterday were just his wits. He had no idea that Zhishu would actually come out without using his mask.
However, regarding Zhishu releasing the Qibo is true, Zhishu indeed entrusted such a message to Diwei Ling to be conveyed to Qibo.
Zhishu left in a horse-drawn carriage, as one of the residents of Bai Xuan would happily escort them.
As the night wore on, Zhishu had just arrived at the Capital, but the innkeeper still took the time to greet his arrival.
Zhishu would occupy an ordinary room, whereas Si Yin would be in the same room as Xuemei to protect him.
Zhishu also advised the coachman to stay overnight until morning arrived. Without any pressure, he agreed.
Meanwhile, as Zhishu entered his room, a flute sound rang familiar in his ears. However, he could not remember exactly where he heard this voice.
' This rhythm that sounds so sad, where do I hear it? Or just my feelings? ' murmured Zhishu wondered.
However, out of curiosity, Zhishu finally came out, he headed towards the source of the sound and stopped in the distance.
A man she knew was blowing a flute on the roof.
" Any Liu Xingsheng? Could he have played it before me? It seems impossible! " murm Zhishu was alone.
As Zhishu turned around, a hand perched on his shoulder. The hand felt so cold that it felt as if it had touched his skin.
Slowly his hand quietly grabbed the sword, before he finally started to turn around and launch his attack by swinging the sword forcefully.
Zhishu saw Xingsheng dodging his attack, but after his attack missed Zhishu stopped and kept back his sword.
While Xingsheng put on a surprised face, it was not because Zhishu attacked him all of a sudden, but rather because the girl he knew should be so different from the one he last met.
Zhishu re-enforced his body.
" I think who, it turns out that Young Master Liu, is sorry for attacking suddenly." Zhishu said casually.
" It's okay, it's my fault for suddenly stopping you" Xingsheng replied.
" Is there something wrong in me? You look at me as if I'm not what I used to be" Zhishu said.
" Yes, you don't usually come out blatantly like this" Xingsheng said.
" Oh, my mask was broken by someone, so I thought that there would be no need to use that mask as long as I didn't lead the Night Killer" Zhishu replied.
' Night Killer? Does he think I'm talking about Master Shi? He even called the mask compared to the mask.. Did he really manage to burn Zhan Xishi's memories? ' xingsheng's inner murmur wondered.
" There is a sound. "cock Zhishu suddenly.
As Xingsheng regained his senses, he tried to listen carefully, but he had yet to catch a sound, Zhishu moved first.
Without a second thought, Xingsheng followed him and forgot the warning that King Xiali had given him.
Zhishu stopped right on the North side of the city, there was a forest that became the border between the capital Jianyi and Tang City.
Zhishu descended and pursued a strange movement within the forest, but he stopped at one point due to the disappearance of suspicious things.
" What do you really hear? " ask Xingsheng.
" A strange voice, " replied Zhishu.
" What-like? " ask Xingsheng again.
" Living corpses and cries of people asking for help" Zhishu replied.
' Heh? This forest is quite far from our starting point of going, how could his sense of hearing reach a place so far? ' Xingsheng murmured inwardly.
Zhishu again walked towards the previous point, while Xingsheng was still following behind him while continuing to fan himself.
The two were silent until Zhishu quickened his pace.
" Heh, Master Shi.. Wait up! Don't leave me in this scary forest!! " xingsheng shouted as he chased after Zhishu.
Zhishu stopped right in front of a man who was on the ground. Xingsheng walked up to him and tried to take a closer look.
" I don't know, he's dead but he looks alive! " answered Xingsheng.
" I probably shouldn't have asked that! " murmured Zhishu.
" You said something? " ask Xingsheng.
" Just your feeling! " reply Zhishu.
Without lingering any longer, Zhishu flipped over the man's body and saw the bite marks on his neck. At first glance, he could immediately conclude something.
" A bite mark? " xingsheng murmured.
" You know something? " ask Zhishu.
" Hundred years ago the same thing happened, this bite came from the undead or Jiangshi! " answered Xingsheng.
" Hundred years ago? How long do you think you've lived? " ask Zhishu while muttering.
' Fuckin' shit! I'm release! ' Xingsheng grumbled inwardly.
" Jiangshi absorbed his life energy, this man is dead, but as the poison spreads in his body, it is likely that he will also rise and become Jiangshi" Zhishu said.
" So, what's your plan? " ask Xingsheng.
" As long as he doesn't threaten my people, I won't take issue with him, it looks like it will be exciting if the capital is attacked by jiangshi" Zhishu replied.
' He's still just as annoying! ' Xingsheng murmured inwardly.
" Jiangshi will not survive in the sun, he will perish after morning comes and will attack at night" Xingsheng said.
" Heh, I don't care! You can take care of it if you want! " said Zhishu then sauntered away.
While Xingsheng was still in place while thinking of a way to stop the man before turning into Jiangshi.
After getting the idea, he called Bei Liang to come and take care of his work.
When morning arrived, the Jianyi Capital was thrown with the death of an old man. His condition was the same as the corpses that Zhishu and Xingsheng had found last night.
Zhishu only heard the story from Si Yin who had just returned after taking Xuemei around.
Zhishu did decide to come out at sunset, however, the fact that he still wanted to hide his identity could not be denied.
However, after hearing the rumors, he changed his mind and intended to go out to meet someone.
Xuemei and Si Yin joined Zhishu with a little distance from him.
Zhishu did not wear a mask or mask, he only covered his head with a dark purple robe.
His destination was the largest tavern in the Jianyi capital, it was the perfect place for him to meet Xingsheng.
However, when he got there, Zhishu could not find Xingsheng, before he arrived, Bei Liang came to him.
" Master Shi? " murmured Liang with a surprised face.
" Can you not call it in a public place? I want to see Liu Xingsheng ", Zhishu said coldly.
" Of course, I'll call Master for--
" Zhu Zhishu! " cut off Zhishu while realizing Liang was confused by his call.
' Heh, this Miss is using the name Bai Long Qishi??? '
" well! "
Liang left, while Zhishu sat in a different place with Xuemei and Si Yin.
Shortly after he sat down, a glance of his gaze caught the familiar-looking figure of the man.
However, as he tried to remember, Zhishu instead felt a headache until he stopped to try to recall it.
While the man felt the presence of a familiar figure, yet could not remember.
' Those eyes, as if I had ever looked at her, yet who was that girl? Could it be a silk-masked girl? It was not usual for him to take off the mask and dress in dark clothes, compared to the silk-masked girl, he was more akin to Master Shi! ' Yuwen Huanran's inner murmur as it passed.
A few moments after Huanran passed, Xingsheng came along with Bei Liang.
Xingsheng was sitting on the bench opposite Zhishu, they were only separated by a table arranged with some food and tea on it.
" You can sit too! " said Zhishu coldly.
Without being able to answer, Liang sat down with them.
" I'll get to the point, this is about an old man's body, is he the body we found last night? Even if I didn't ask, I knew you'd see it! " said Zhishu.
" Your guess is correct, but this time the corpse is different, I will say that these two bodies were killed by the same Jiangshi! " xingsheng said.
" Do you know how to beat him? " ask Zhishu.
" Are you finally going to retract your words? " ask Xingsheng.
" I don't know, it's just that Jiangshi's power exceeds that of an ordinary human. If there are many casualties it will be even harder to defeat him! " answer Zhishu.
' I lick my own spit! '
