The Sword God of the South

Something Behind the Scramble for Heirlooms

Zhang Fei sighed. He took Yao Mei to a quieter place. The goal is that they can tell stories without fear of being heard by others.

"Miss Mei," Zhang Fei said as they were already among the dark trees. "Actually behind the seizure of this heirloom there are still other hidden intentions. If you believe my words, this is all a trap,"

Yao Mei frowned. He still could not understand the meaning of the handsome young man before him.

"I still don't understand completely" he said honestly.

"alright. I'll try to explain it to you,"

Zhang Fei was silent for a moment. It was as if he was trying to string words together to be easily understood by the interlocutor.

"So this way, behind the seizure of heirlooms that are currently underway, there are actually parties who have arranged everything. They deliberately spread this news until it was widespread, the people then lured the warriors from various directions to come so that they could participate in the struggle,"

Yao Mei did not speak. He seemed to be digesting what Zhang Fei explained.

"I'm starting to understand. Try to continue again," he asked after a moment of pondering.

"All right," the young man nodded. He continued his explanation. "Well, after the warriors had gathered at Five Fingers Mountain, I was very sure, at that time the mastermind behind the screen would immediately launch the next plan. You know, what plan did they come up with?"

"What's that?" ask him quickly.

"Furthermore, they will kill the warriors who are in this place,"

Zhang Fei said with a serious face. In fact he uttered every fracture he said filled with emphasis.

Yao Mei looked into his eyes. He wanted to see if in the speech there was a lie or not. Unfortunately, he did not find what he suspected in the first place.

"You're saying seriously, '" he muttered slowly.

"Since the beginning I was serious, Miss Mei,"

"But if I may ask, how do you know this?"

He was very curious. Isn't it impossible for Zhang Fei to know just like that?

When asked, the young man looked confused. Not because he doesn't want to tell the truth.

It was only because Zhang Fei was afraid that this task would leak out. After all, he already knew who this Yao Mei was.

His father was the Grandfather of Perseverance. Wouldn't her child be much different?

For a while he kept his mouth shut. He is at war with his own mind.

Should Zhang Fei be honest? Or have to lie?

"Why do you just shut up?" yao Mei asked after some time Zhang Fei did not give an answer.

"Hah .." he sighed heavily. "Well, I'll speak the truth,"

Actually he wanted to lie. But unfortunately, he could not lie to the beautiful girl in front of him.

Thus, after an inner war for a while, Zhang Fei had already decided to speak honestly to Yao Mei.

"My goal is to come to this Five Fingers Mountain, actually not just to seek experience. Unless I'm running a task given by someone,"

"Who is that guy?"

"Hemm, okay. Continue your story" he said, nodding in agreement.

"The person gave me the task to investigate who is behind the scenes related to the seizure of this heirloom. Because, it was impossible for this news to be spread just like that. Moreover, as we saw earlier, these heirlooms do not appear suddenly from nature. Instead of showing up because something pushed him out,"

Yao Mei nodded her head again. He himself saw the incident.

"Then have you found out who the main culprit is?"

"Until now it has not. I can only guess that their next plan is to do a mass murderer,"

Hearing the latter's remark, Yao Mei involuntarily shuddered in horror. He did not dare to imagine that tonight, on the Five Fingers Mountain, such a bloody event would occur.

If proven, how great the horror will be felt later.

"Indeed, why would that person want to kill all the warriors present? What is their real purpose?" yao Mei asked even further.

"So they can more easily carry out the next plan. If until the mass murder really happens, the martial world will be in an uproar. When all parties are focused on taking care of events in the green jungle, there will definitely be many outsiders infiltrating our country. If it's like that, the destruction of our Empire has arrived in plain sight,"

"Wait a minute, so you mean .. The mastermind behind this screen is a person from another Empire?" yao Mei asked slightly surprised after understanding the conversation.

"Most likely it is. If not a stranger, surely the mastermind behind this screen is the one who has been working with them for his own sake,"

Yao Mei exclaimed stifledly. What Zhang Fei had explained just now, he thought it made perfect sense.

He himself knows how the current state of his country is. So, all those possibilities, eighty percent could actually happen.

"All the explanations given by Fei's son just now were correct. Miss Mei is a smart girl, I know you believe her words, too,"

A voice suddenly sounded. A moment later was soon followed by the appearance of an old man with shabby clothes. Her hair was a little fussy, the shabby clothes were tattered. In his right hand was a golden wine jar, in his left hand was one piece of chicken thigh.

"The Shadowless God of Arak!" the young men exclaimed simultaneously after they saw who the character who had suddenly appeared was.

Meanwhile, Shadowless Arak God Kiang Ceng was not laughing as usual. The old man's face looked very serious.

"Child Fei, has the grappling of her navel already begun?" ask him further.

"Just started, sir," Zhang Fei replied. "By the way, why is Mister here? Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to take care of other matters?"

The old man spent the first time understanding the chicken before answering. After drinking some exciting wine, he just spoke.

"Indeed right. But this afternoon, your grandfather sent me a letter regarding the seizure of this treasure," he said seriously.

"Grandfather? It was like hearing his voice, too" Zhang Fei said in shock.

"After reading the letter sent to me, apparently these few days, your grandfather was indeed here. He has investigated the events now unfolding,"

"Then, what did Grandpa say in the letter, Mister?"

"It's almost the same as what you said. So that's why he sent me here to help you. Because if you only rely on yourself alone, it will not work. You'll die with the others,"

"G ..."

Zhang Fei and Yao Mei exclaimed almost simultaneously. After hearing the speech of the Patuk Dunia Persilatan, now they become more convinced.
