Chapter 218: Song Qingtian’s Mansion Was on Fire
Ouyang Chuan was startled, “Tianji Sect?”
“Yes, only Tianji Sect probably...” Liu Suifeng said with a soft voice, “It’s a nongovernmental place gathering intelligence covering the widest scope. If there’s any useful information, it only can be provided in Tianji Sect.”
“Is the leader of Tianji Sect, Wu Ronghan, in Imperial City now?”
“Hmm, I think so.” Liu glanced at Ouyang, “What’s your point?”
Ouyang answered with a flat tone, “Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan seem reluctant to let Wu Ronghan off.”
Being silent for a moment, Liu said, “If so, that will be the cost Wu Ronghan and Wu Xiangyuan have to pay.”
Ouyang nodded, “You’re right, but if they kill Wu Xiangyuan, we probably have no way to get information from Tianji Sect.”
Liu frowned, “That is a problem.”
“If the most toxic insect’s impact on Shi can be eliminated, Shi and Long may be willing to spare Wu Xiangyuan’s life. Of course, it also depends on whether Wu Xiangyuan is worthy or not.”
Hearing this, Liu nodded, “Hmm... we’ll tell them the truth in due course and let them make the decision.”
Ouyang also gave a nod, “It is settled then.”
Liu smiled, “Let’s go out for a stroll.”
“Eh?” Ouyang raised his eyebrow, “Go out?”
“Yes, we were supposed to visit Song Qingtian’s mansion yesterday, but the plan was postponed until tonight because of Ying Feng. I suggest to scout the mansion in advance so as to avoid being disdained tonight.”
“Alright.” Ouyang nodded before giving a sideways glance at Liu, “But, aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”
“With our unbeatable flying skills, we won’t be exposed even during the day.” Liu said in confidence.
Ouyang shrugged indifferently, “Fine, since you are so confident...”
Long and Shi still had no idea that Liu and Ouyang had gone to scout in the daytime...
Last night Ying Feng had to handle things about Shadow Guardians, and Long asked Ying Feng to send information to Imperial City and confirm the list, so the plan to visit Song Qingtian’s mansion was postponed until tonight.
Actions about the list... were also postponed by Shi and Long.
If people on the list were dealt with first, Song Qingtian certainly would get the information, and the unexpected effect accordingly would vanish.
In addition, the identity of Song Cailian also needed to be confirmed.
But, people on the list would be dealt with tomorrow at the latest. To prevent those people from perceiving anything, some shadow guardians had been sent to...
Long and Shi didn’t get out to saunter since they had done that yesterday.
When they sauntered yesterday, they found the perfect Song Qingtian had a good reputation among the common people.
Even children of Song Qingtian were good in eyes of the common people.
Therefore, it seemed meaningless to stroll in other places.
But that made Long and Shi feel more puzzled. Song Qingtian sounded like innocent, but what the matter with Song Cailian was.
Long and Shi lay on the sling chairs in the winding corridor. The sunshine was too strong, so they found a place with cold breeze to stay instead of basking in the sun.
It made them feel good to find a moment of leisure in a busy life.
If it was not for Song Cailian, they probably could not enjoy such a moment of leisure.
But Song Cailian was insidious and vicious. She would had killed Ying Qiu if Ying Qiu didn’t have a measure to keep his life.
They would revenge Ying Qiu on Song Cailian anyway.
Just when Long and Shi felt pleasantly drowsy on the sling chairs, Ouyang and Liu ran to them at full speed.
“Uh? What’s wrong with you?” Long and Shi rose from the sling chairs at the same time.
Liu’s behavior indicated that something probably happened.
Liu would not run to them if nothing happened.
Liu and Ouyang stopped in front of Long at the same time, “The outside is in chaos because Song Qingtian’s mansion caught fire.”
“What?” Long and Shi were startled after hearing this, “How did it happen?”
Liu answered immediately, “We were there when the mansion caught fire, but we failed to stop the fire. The womanizer set fire and fought with Song Cailian, which were witnessed by nobody except us. But Song Cailian didn’t defeat the womanizer because the womanizer not only was good at martial arts but also had flying skills as good as ours. By the way, his martial arts seemed similar with that of Song Cailian.”
“Similar?” Long narrowed his eyes, “They learned the same style of martial arts?”
“Hmm, when the womanizer fled, he left a sentence, “you bitch, you are damned since you broke master’s rule.”
“Master?” Long and Shi glanced at each other, “any other words?”
“No. That womanizer fled when Song Qingtian’s mansion was in noisy disorder due to the fire. We ran after that womanizer, but he escaped at last.
“Didn’t you catch up with him?” Long was astonished.
That was embarrassingly hurtful because Liu once bragged that their flying skills were matchless in the world.
“Yes, exactly.”
Long had been thinking highly of Liu and Ouyang’s martial arts and flying skills, but Liu and Ouyang failed to catch up with the womanizer.
Shi looked serious too, “No need to wait till the night. I’ll go to Song Qingtian’s mansion now.”
Long also knew it was the best opportunity to go to Song Qingtian’s mansion, so he would not object, “Okay. I’ll wait for you here. Take care.”
“Liu Suifeng and Ouyang Chuan, you both stay here, and you must stop all the enemies from entering the gate.” Shi said.
Liu nodded, “Rest assured. Since the enemies are all good at martial arts, we will be more cautious.”
Shi looked deeply into Liu’s eyes, “I hope things like you did last time will not happen again.”
“Don’t worry, it will never happen again.” Liu answered with absolute certainty.
Without saying anything, Shi intended to leave.
Long held Shi back, “Qingzhou, take more guardians with you, otherwise I’ll get worried about you.”
Shi frowned slightly.
Long gazed at Shi, “Take more guardians.”
Shi nodded finally, “Got it. If we are exposed, they probably will attack us even though it is daytime now.”
Long said in a soft voice, “Right. But Song Qingtian’s mansion is dangerous, and none of us know what kind of person Song Qingtian is.”
Shi stared at Long, then he nodded after seeing Long’s insistence in the eyes, “Alright, I’ll take enough guardians.”
Long felt reassured, “Hmm.”
After Shi left, Long continued to lie on the sling chair, but the moment of leisure had gone...
On the other side, Shi took shadow guardians to Song Qingtian’s mansion, which was not chaotic any more.
Song Qingtian was commanding servants to put out the fire when people in the mansion were supposed to have fled from the mansion.
The fire was started in daytime after all, so people inside the mansion would save themselves if they were not fools.
Shi directly walked close to Song Qingtian who was surrounded by several guards.
Shadow guardians directly separated Song Qingtian from those guards.
“Who are you!” Those guards exclaimed.
Hearing the sound, Song Qingtian looked at them and caught sight of Shi.
Song Qingtian was stunned, “You... ”
“Uncle Song, do you remember me? I’m the son of Shi Qingshan.”
Shi introduced himself as the son of Shi Qingshan instead of the empress.
“He,” Song gasped with shock, with pleasure flashing in his eyes, “Qingzhou?” He felt embarrassed a bit after Shi’s identity occurred to him. Song Qingtian intended to kneel down, but Shi waved his hand to stop him.
“Uncle Song, let’s go to the inn ahead and have a talk.”
Song Qingtian nodded immediately, “Okay, allow me to make an arrangement here.”
“Take your time. Uncle Song, I’ll go first and wait for you in the inn ahead.”
“Alright, I’ll be right here in a minute.”
Shi glanced at Song Qingtian, then walked away first.
Song Qingtian said to his housekeeper standing beside him immediately, “Housekeeper Song, I’ll leave this to you. Can you handle it?”
“Master, rest assured. I’ll handle things here properly and try my best to reduce the cost to the full extent.”
“Hmm. What matters most is the life. As for the external things, just save them as much as you can.”
“Yes, master. I got it.” The old housekeeper answered immediately.
Song Qingtian didn’t say any more words before heading to the inn ahead with a guard.
When arriving at the inn, Song Qingtian said to the guard, “You guard outside the inn. Don’t allow anyone to enter.”
“Minister, please rest assured. I’ll fulfill the task.”
After nodding, Song Qingtian walked in the inn at once.
When Song Qingtian entered, a shadow guardian appeared, “Minister Song, please follow me this way. Master is waiting for you.”
“Please lead the way.” Song Qingtian responded immediately.
Giving a glance at Song Qingtian, the shadow guardian took him to the place where Shi was...
