Chapter 58
At first, Ji Han doesn't understand the meaning of Zhao Jiangui's sentence at all, only frowning as he looks at him. Waiting until his spirit returns, he's inevitably furious with him, opening his mouth to say, "You're making trouble again!"
Zhao Jiangui considers where he was making trouble. Obviously the word book makes too much trouble, knowing craftily the experience of the type of words of these martial world seniors had just written. But his face doesn't dare reveal too much, he's only able to stubbornly fake sickening emotions, continue exhibiting that utterly adoring appearance, gazing at Ji Han.
Earlier, he had already figured out Ji Han's temperament, knowing that young people have extremely thin faces.* With such shameless speech, he is absolutely not continuing on.
Ji Han meets his gaze, left speechless as expected.
He sits dumbly a while, the more he thinks the more off it is, his face already can't help turning red. He hastily turns serious and solemnly says to Zhao Jiangui, "Go, I need to rest."
Zhao Jiangui actually wants to say something else to tease him, but worries about making Ji Han angry again. He is forced to stand up, not speaking a word as he heads outside.
Ji Han suddenly calls to him, "Yan Daifu said I should walk around more these days."
Zhao Jiangui's footsteps stop, and he glances back toward Ji Han. He doesn't understand the treatment, only able to waiting for Ji Han to continue speaking.
Ji Han unexpectedly doesn't say anything. The two stare at each other blankly for a very long while, suddenly Ji Han just gets angry, lowers his voice to curse, "You're an idiot."
Zhao Jiangui, "...Ah?"
Ji Han's face has already turned cold and he drives him out.
Zhao Jiangui's whole heart is at a loss, and he goes out the door. Ji Han also calls the head maidservant into the room. When the head maidservant goes past Zhao Jiangui's side, she turns her head to give him a meaningful look as if resentful of his inability to meet expectations.
Zhao Jiangui is all the more puzzled.
He watches the head maidservant enter the room, then sends a meaningful glance towards Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin understands immediately, loudly saying, "Zhao Daxia, this lowly person will go back with you."
Inside the room, Ji Han obviously can hear, however hasn't stopped them at all.
The two wait until Zhao Jiangui goes back the room. Zhao Jiangui determines that no one has followed them, then hurriedly explains the matters he had just heard in full detail to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin turns pale in fright, "Zhao Daxia, I will report this matter back to the Haoran Alliance right away!"
Zhao Jiangui's heart is more and more twisted up, hasn't yet opened his mouth to speak.
Xiao Lin continues, "Zhao Daxia, don't worry, I will pay even more attention to documents going back and forth from the sect."
Zhao Jiangui nods.
Xiao Lin thinks, again shows a bit of embarrassment in his expression, "However, this matter is classified. Jiaozhu will probably hide away the documents, if the Haoran Alliance is attacked like this..."
Zhao Jiangui, "...I will keep even more of a look out."
Xiao Lin grasps Zhao Jiangui's hand tightly, "Zhao Daxia! All of the Haoran Alliance is relying on you!"
Zhao Jiangui doesn't speak.
He comforts himself in his heart. The Demon Sect wants to harm the Haoran Alliance, if he's able to know the Demon Sect is secretly searching for this path, then he's saved several hundred lives in the Haoran Alliance.
He can't be burdened by chivalry, he's supposed to be like this.
But the Haoran Alliance knowing the Demon Sect's strategy, they really won't carefully put things in order, using this to counterattack.
At that time, hundreds of lives in the Demon Sect, this should also be considered on whose head?
He already doesn't know what option he must to choose.
...
Since this matter has already been spoken on, Xiao Lin soon prepares to leave.
He goes out the door, suddenly turns to come back.
"Zhao Daxia, there's still an issue." Xiao Lin hems and haws, "There's still an issue, I have to talk to you a little."
Zhao Jiangui asks, "What is it?"
Xiao Lin hesitates, "Zhao Daxia, just now, the meaning of what Jiaozhu said... He probably wants to have you go every day and accompany him walking around."
Zhao Jiangui suddenly sees the light.
Xiao Lin continues, "Zhao Daxia, you must grab this opportunity properly."
Zhao Jiangui, "...Mn, I'll do my best."
Xiao Lin also says, "There are a few secret places in the sect, even I can't enter. The Demon Sect's terrain is complex, if Zhao Daxia can beg Jiaozhu to bring you around everywhere, you can draw up a topographical map. Another day when the Haoran Alliance attacks the Demon Sect and clears out the evil people, it will surely be of great use."
Already no words come for Zhao Jiangui to speak.
Xiao Lin seems to be detecting something amiss, soon sticking out his face and saying with utmost care, "Zhao Daxia, you don't want to forget your identity."
Zhao Jiangui's face turns cold, "You don't need to say more. I should remember. I naturally remember it all."
Xiao Lin nods suitably.
He leaves in a hurry, leaving only Zhao Jiangui in the room alone.
The Haoran Alliance and Xiao Lin, in order to make him trick Ji Han, it takes a lot of effort indeed.
Zhao Jiangui only feels that a spot in his heart is drawing tighter little by little.
How can he forget, he's one of the martial world's famed warriors. This is all is going just how they originally planned.
He suddenly hears someone walking outside the door.
"Zhao Gongzi, Jiaozhu has something to say to you."
This voice is the head maidservant. Zhao Jiangui goes to the door, pulls it open, then sees the head maidservant smiling at him.
"Jiaozhu requests you go over every morning." The head maidservant smiles faintly and says, "Go accompany him walking around the sect."
Zhao Jiangui, "..."
Young people indeed are thin-skinned. Why had he been unwilling to say it just then, and had to make someone come relay the message.
The head maidservant covers her face to laugh and winks at him, "Zhao Gongzi, Jiaozhu really likes you."
Zhao Jiangui wrinkles his brows slightly.
"I know." He lowers his voice, "Tell him, I'll go."

*Having to do with the concept of "face," not that his face is literally thin.
