Chapter 265 Help!
Lin Feng, Chongxi, and I shared a quick look. "It's been so long," Chongxi wondered and said aloud, "We won't know whether it's the same spot she had mentioned as we're going to. How about a look then?" Lin Feng nodded and said, "Might as well. Since we would be nearby anyway."
Hearing this refilled Yuanyuan with excitement. She screamed to come along and so did Edelweiss and Xiao Yu. "I'm coming along too, since all of you would be going," Big Sister added. "Come on, all of you," I pointed out and said, "Look at the time. It's not that we're going now." Only then everyone realized that it was already six in the evening. The debacle at the police station had taken up so much time that we hardly had any drop of water the whole day.
However, for Chongxi, something else came to mind: food. He jabbed a finger at the clock on the wall. "All right, enough talking. It's time for dinner! Let's settle that first! The food in ancient times is nowhere near as deliciou

At first, I could not recognize who the stranger was. It was only when my eyes fell upon that dirty and crumpled shirt that used to be mine, then I knew who he was: Na San!He looked just as soiled and haggard as a farmer, with that shirt of mine that looked as if it could do with a washing that it has been owed since I gave it to him last time we met. Nevertheless, Na San seemed to love it very much. Despite the many stain marks, there were two parts where he had patched it up meticulously. His hands caught some oil when he grabbed the chair and when he was about to just flippantly wipe his hands on his shirt, he paused, only to reach further down and wipe the oil of his pants instead.I was rather surprised at his unbidden arrival and he noticed my puzzled expression. With an abashed smile, he croaked sheepishly. "Urm... Greetings, Young Lordling." His voice was just as raspy as ever like a broken tin gong.Edelweiss and Lin Feng began to not
Once Upon a Time Chapter 267 Ins and Outs
With our persuasion, Na San wiped off his tears. Chongxi called for another round of a hundred barbecue skewers and we dug in again with Na San recounting to us the details."So a week ago, His Highness became worried sick when he heard that you were missing, Young Lordling. Thinking that you had been secretly abducted by the two other parties, he contacted one of them. I was not privy to their conversation and its contents, but the expression on His Highness' face after the conversation told me enough to know that things did not go well." Na San paused. "According to His Highness, Young Lordling, that person seems to be from Shanggu. A man called Jing, Jing Jiu."Chongxi stopped eating and thought aloud, "Jing Jiu? That's the same Jing as Jing Ke, the assassin, innit?" I nodded and breathed grimly. "Yishui Town of Shanggu... He could well be Jing Ke's descendant. Factor in that connection and the fact that they are after the Shiyan Blade, this could be ano

"Prodigal son? What do you mean?" I asked the restaurateur who had aroused my interest to know more about our new friend. He cast a look at Zhang Er'ge and chuckled. "Best you ask him yourself," he muttered and he scrambled around the table, collecting all the mounds of bamboo sticks from our table before he left.It was time to delve more about our friend. By the sound of it, Zhang Er'ge's past did not seem disgraceful. "So, Zhang Er'ge. What did the proprietor mean by 'prodigal son'?" I asked and Zhang Mingwang giggled as a preoccupied finger caressed the scar on his arm. "It's all things of the past," he remarked dismissively and I decided to prod no further. But a voice came from another table, yelling, "Zhang Er'ge? You self-conscious clod! If you're reluctant to, then let me tell his story!"We twisted our heads back and saw three men grinning as they came to us. The man on the most left was the shortest with a height that almost matched Chongxi. The

Big Sister looked blankly at Mu, utterly lost for words as to how she should respond to the question. But she was hardly the only one speechless; around the table, Lin Feng, Chongxi, as well as the others, were all equally speechless.Mu inhaled his cigarette so quickly that it was burnt right down to the stub in just seconds. He was just crushing it when Big Sister finally shook her head in dismay. She had no idea how to answer his question. Mu chuckled and nipped at his Coke. "There's no need to feel troubled," he said, "You're not the only one. It's normal. Nobody has the right answer to this question. There is no such thing as fully differentiating good from evil, for there is no such thing as being absolutely good or infinitely evil. No clear line that borders good and bad. The definition of good and evil is subjective, they are just matters of perspective and angle."Big Sister took in a long, deep breath, finally understanding Mu's words. "That's Mu
Once Upon a Time Chapter 270 Duelling a Taoist Priest
The Taoist priest raised aloft his luopan and began circling around the compound inside the enclosure. Chongxi watched on, scowling, "Dammit! He's looking for directions! He's the real deal!"I said nothing, my lips pursed shut as I studied the Taoist priest at work. He beelined around the enclosure with his luopan and stopped in the end in front of three peach trees. He looked up and the winds overhead churned, with two auras, one demonic and dark and the other majestic and divine, roiling together!Whoosh! Sands and dust kicked up into the air by the winds and no one could keep their eyes open with the winds snapping at us. Chongxi cursed loudly, "Dammit!"All three of the trees were in their springtime opulence with several buds already blossoming. Someone had been tending to them with meticulous care; the twigs and branches have been adequately pruned. The grass straggling at the foot of the trees were beginning to take a shade of green bef
Once Upon a Time Chapter 271 Fire and Lightning
It was no ordinary punch. The few years of training in the ancient times had seen to that. My fist sank right into the center of the priest's face and sent him careening backward for several meters before he crashed to the ground, his face confused and perplexed even though I did not know which. Was he rattled by my strength, or was he puzzled at my sudden burst of anger, I did not know which.Edelweiss came up and stamped a foot on the priest's chest to force him down on the ground, but to no avail. The Taoist priest let loose a snarl and he somersaulted back up to his feet again, tossing an unsteady Edelweiss to the ground. "Very good," he commented dryly as he aimed an opened palm at me and he began muttering a string of incantations!Edelweiss flipped herself to her feet and was about to charge at him but I stopped her, pivoting her around so that I could shield her with my back being to the priest. A thunderclap ensued, followed by a flash of bright li
Once Upon a Time Chapter 272 Wait and Watch
My sword was but only an inch away from the Taoist priest's chest. But it could go no further; an invisible force was gripping at my wrist, preventing me from going any further.I tugged at my arm, indicating my intent to yield and the invisible force that held me vanished. I looked back, searching for the source of the voice and saw a little boy, dressed in traditional Taoist garb, emerging from within the midst of the frozen crowd. The unusually placid look he gave when our eyes locked told me enough that this was no ordinary boy, for his gaze was as deep and unfathomable as the deepest waters of a quiet lake.Lin Feng and Chongxi formed up beside me and we bowed to him. "Our humblest apologies, Esteemed Celestial Master," I said, "I hope you understand that we have had no choice." "I understand fully, Master Shiyan," the little boy that was one of the Celestial Master Zhangs who was now an immortal said, "And I want to thank you as well, for showing kind
Once Upon a Time Chapter 273 Relocation
Big Sister looked morosely at the retreating back of the old man as he disappeared into his hut. She gave me a look that seemed to say a thousand words and I knew what she was thinking. I raised a hand, indicating my understanding of her notion.I panned my gaze unto Chongxi again who understood me and took out his slingshot. He spoke to it, saying, "Would you girls be willing to accompany the old man for the rest of..." "No need," the raspy voice of the old man came suddenly from inside the hut, "I refused to leave, partly due to you people. Somehow, their long watch for your arrival has become something that we shared. Whoever it was they were waiting for had become whom I was waiting for too. For tens of years, we would wait together and finally, you're here and the long watch has come to an end and this is where I should bow out." He came out from the hut, carrying a bundle on his shoulder reminiscent to how travelers in ancient times carried their belongings.
