Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1608 Shake
The second in command shook his head and said, "People are divided into different classes. Some people's death won't cause any waves. But for some people, even if they get hurt, it can cause a big uproar."

"That's what you think." Fang Zilan stroked the plum sword in her hand, "In my eyes, there is only a difference between the dead and the living."

"Although Miss Zixiu said so, you should know in your heart that what I said is true." The second in command said patiently: "How about it, Miss Zixiu, are you willing to join forces with us? From now on, there will be no rivals in the martial arts world..."

"I'm not interested in joining forces with others. After all, there is no one in the martial arts world who can be my opponent." Fang Zilan interrupted the second in command impatiently, and said gloomily: "I can go to Feiling Mountain with you, but I have something to ask your boss, not to join forces with you."

"Since Miss Zixiu has agreed, let's set off immediately." The second in command said, and arrested Li Shengxuan again.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan's face darkened and she asked, "Why did you detain him?"

The second in command explained, "He is a hostage. Before the deal is concluded, he cannot move freely and can only follow you and me."

"Hostage? Trade?" Fang Zilan sneered, "Did you make a mistake?"

"Miss Zixiu, your martial arts skills are the best in the world, and no one in the martial arts world can match you." The second in command showed a meaningful smile, "I just want to be on the safe side, so..."

Fang Zilan snorted, and the second in command paused before continuing, "If I say something wrong or do something wrong and make Miss Zixiu unhappy, I must save my life so that I can take you to Feiling Mountain safely."

"You want to use him as a life-saving talisman?" Fang Zilan glanced at Li Shengxuan and said with a half-smile, "I don't care. But you, bringing such a burden to Feiling Mountain, I'm afraid it will delay your time."

"No problem." The second in command tightened his grip on Li Shengxuan's hand. "It's a great honor for me that Miss Zixiu is willing to accompany me to Feiling Mountain. A few days of delay is nothing." He spoke in a humble manner, and his attitude was so sincere that people couldn't say much.

Even Fang Zilan couldn't say anything to refute it for a while. In addition, she was afraid that if she said too much, she would make more mistakes and show her concern and attention to Li Shengxuan, which would arouse the suspicion of the second in command. If so, then all the acting just now would be in vain.

"I..." Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to comfort Fang Zilan, but she turned her head away. It was unknown what she was thinking and she didn't notice him at all. So he kept silent and watched what happened.

Fang Lihui on the side pondered for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I have something to tell the eldest master in person. Since Miss Zixiu wants to go to Feiling Mountain with the second master, I will go with you."

Hearing this, the Second Master looked at Fang Lihui deeply, and then said politely: "Thank you for taking the trouble, Mr. Fang."

"Second Master, you are too kind." Fang Lihui bowed. "I am very grateful for your care for my business. It's just a trip now, how dare you say it's hard work?"

The second in command accepted the greeting in vain, looked up at the sky casually, and said, "It's getting late today, it won't be too late for us to set off early tomorrow morning."

Fang Zilan followed the Second In Command's gaze and was dazzled by the sun. She thought to herself that it was just past noon and the sky was bright, so how could it be said that it was already late in the morning?

"Miss Zixiu?" Seeing Fang Zilan's silence, the second in command couldn't help but call her. "We will meet here in an hour and set off." Fang Zilan said firmly, with an unquestionable momentum in her tone.

The second in command was stunned for a moment, and tried to dissuade him, "Miss Zixiu, Feiling Mountain is steep and dangerous, and the mountain road is difficult to travel. We should..."

Before he finished speaking, Fang Zilan placed her plum sword on his neck. "Stop talking nonsense. I've already made a concession by agreeing to go with you to Feiling Mountain. If you continue to push your luck and bargain with me, I don't mind going back on my word."

She said the last sentence very seriously, with a warning tone. The second in command heard it clearly and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Miss Zixiu has misunderstood. I have absolutely no such intention."

"What are you yelling about? Didn't you see Prince Rong'an coming?" Another older jailer came over with Prince Rong'an. The young jailer quickly stepped aside, bowing and fawningly greeting them.

"Lady Fang is a veteran of the battlefield. I'm afraid the suffering of imprisonment won't do anything to her." The confidant who followed Prince Rong'an said in a rather sarcastic tone, "Why, don't you know how to serve Lady Fang well?"

Hearing this, Fang Zilan spoke before the jailer could say anything: "Whose dog is this? How could it be let out to bark everywhere and disturb the peace? Or is it possible that a mad dog could sneak into such a restricted area like the prison?"

"What did you say?" The confidant's face suddenly changed. Just as he was about to curse, he heard King Rong'an say, "Sir Fang, what else can you do now besides talking? Why not show them all and let me take a good look."

Fang Zilan snorted disdainfully, and then laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke, "Do you think you are worthy?"

"How dare you speak to our prince like that? Are you tired of living?" The confidant rushed forward and bared his teeth at Fang Zilan through the fence. She was not moved at all and asked back provocatively: "So what?"

As she spoke, her eyes swept over the people in front of her one by one, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Even if I can't survive, I still have Princess Rong'an to accompany me. Your Majesty must be extremely envious."

She was deliberately provoking him, and soon Prince Rong An lost his temper, "Fang Zilan, I will cut you into pieces!"

"I thought your scheming was so clever, but it turns out that you are just like this." Fang Zilan's smile became even wider, but it was full of unspeakable sarcasm. "Since I have already pleaded guilty, I know that I cannot escape death. What does it matter if I am torn into pieces? But you, your lord, do you really think that this case is over? Who am I working for? Who is the real culprit behind the scenes? You must know..."

"Shut up!" King Rong'an's expression was as cold as ice, and his tone suddenly became murderous. "You are trying to sow discord even when you are about to die. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, "It's up to Your Majesty whether you believe it or not. It's just the truth. It won't disappear just because Your Majesty doesn't want to accept it."

"You!" King Rong'an shouted angrily, "Someone, open the prison door for me!"

The jailer walked over to open the cell door reluctantly. Prince Rong'an became increasingly impatient and was about to explode when he heard the jailer say respectfully, "Your Highness, please wait patiently for a moment. Lady Fang has a special status, so the cell where she is imprisoned is more difficult to open than other cells."
