Chapter 117: Chapter 94 Jiang is Very Honest_3

This woman likes it soft.

She doesn’t like it too hard.

——

With the snake demon serving as his amulet, Jiang Shouzhong felt even more confident about the rescue operation that night.

After obtaining the exact address where He Lianlan was being held from Zheng Shanqi, and promising the latter a certain position within the Liushan Division, Jiang Shouzhong returned home to await the arrival of Qiuye and Xia He, the sister duo.

It was about the end of the Hai hour when the two women quietly appeared in Jiang Shouzhong’s house.

By this time, the sky was as dark as ink, with a dripping wet moon hanging in the night sky; under the bright moonlight, the two women, dressed in black night clothes with their faces covered by black cloth, only their pair of cold, clear eyes exposed.

Especially since both women had slim and slender figures, which were accentuated by the tight black night garb, highlighting their cinched waists and making them appear even more compact and well-proportioned, like enchanting spirits lurking under the moonlit night.

"Here’s the disguising mask you asked for. Put on this set of night clothes as well."

Xia He took out a finely crafted disguising facial skin and a set of black night clothes from her bundle and threw them to Jiang Shouzhong, "This mask has mystical ink inscriptions carved into it, which can change your voice."

Qiuye glanced at the bed and then quickly moved her gaze away, her emotions concealed by the black cloth covering her face.

Jiang Shouzhong quickly took off his overcoat and changed into the black night clothes which fitted perfectly. He then tore open the seal of the facial skin and carefully affixed the thin-as-cicada-wing mask to his cheeks in front of the copper mirror.

A strange and handsome young face appeared in the mirror.

Compared to the disguising mask found on Jiang Qing, the one provided by the Silver Moon Tower was obviously of a higher quality.

Once on his face, it felt completely natural and comfortable.

Having gotten the address from Jiang Shouzhong, Qiuye took out a piece of paper and sketched out a simple map of some of the locations she had memorized while undercover at the Xichu Pavilion, and they began to draft a preliminary plan.

"If the clue is correct, He Lianlan is imprisoned in this backyard."

Qiuye used a charcoal pencil Jiang Shouzhong regularly used to mark a spot on the paper and said blandly, "The front is the Xichu Pavilion’s main pavilion of pleasure, guarded by many skilled masters. To the left is the Confucian Street of the outer city, but there are also many hidden sentries there, seemingly the least guarded but actually the most risky. To the right are two small courtyards, which are where the two top Oirans of the Xichu Pavilion live."

As she spoke, Qiuye’s expression betrayed annoyance and resentment, and she lightly pounded her fist on the table, "It was there that I suffered a setback, encountering the Pipa Fairy Qin Shier from Xichu Pavilion and nearly dying."

Qin Shier?

At the mention of this name, Jiang Shouzhong’s mind was jolted.

So it was Qin Shier who chased after Qiuye that night. Was that woman’s cultivation so high?

Thinking of the seductive fox-like woman who had taken the initiative to become his concubine, Jiang Shouzhong’s back broke out in a cold sweat, feeling as if he was being targeted by a giant python, its forked tongue almost licking his skin.

At this moment, Jiang Shouzhong suddenly remembered something else.

On the first night of the month, they had encountered a rabbit demon. Now it seemed the rabbit demon had been severely wounded by Qin Shier, only to be finished off by Zhang Yunwu taking advantage of the situation.

Later, the rabbit demon revived using the corpse of Zhao Wancang’s wife, but in the process, it was chased by a mysterious master, causing Zhao Wancang to sustain serious injuries and Zhang Yunwu nearly got killed during the pursuit.

It must have been this Qin Shier.

Because, according to Zhang Yunwu’s later recollections, he vaguely heard the sound of a musical instrument at that time, which was followed by a fracture in his leg.

If it hadn’t been for encountering a master, it would have been very hard for him to survive.

That instrument must have been the pipa.

Jiang Shouzhong felt an immense headache and couldn’t help but wonder, "Why would the Xichu Pavilion be targeting me? Logically, the cat demon’s killings were very clean, and the rabbit demon’s case was neatly closed without leaving any traces. Could it be because of that bottle of Netherworld Demon Qi? But who knows where that worthless bottle of Demon Energy is!"

Unaware that her words had plunged Jiang Shouzhong into turmoil, Qiuye continued, "...Towards the rear is Huailan Lake, so once we have rescued her, the best escape route would be the eastern shore of Huailan Lake."

"Master Jiang, what do you think?"

Xia He’s eyes, cold as ice and snow, looked towards Jiang Shouzhong.

Qiuye kept her head down, examining the blueprints on the table.

Jiang Shouzhong snapped back to reality and smiled, "I’ll just try to cooperate with you. Decide on the plan yourselves, I see no problem with it."

"Then let’s get moving."

Xia He stated succinctly.

After burning the blueprints, the trio headed out in the dark towards Xichu Pavilion.

To conceal their movements, they chose the most remote alleyway, and upon arriving at an old courtyard, Xia He and Qiuye lightly touched the tips of their toes to the ground, their graceful bodies silently floating up to the top of the wall.

Following, Jiang Shouzhong took a running start and, with a push off a protruding stone on the wall, sprung up to the two-meter high wall top and steadied himself, only to find the two women looking at him with strange expressions.

Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously touched the black cloth over his disguised face and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Qiuye was too embarrassed to speak up.

Xia He, however, had no such qualms, her face full of disdain as she said, "You’re supposed to be a master from the Little Xuan Sect. How can your Qinggong be so poor? With the way you’re going, you’ll be discovered before we even reach Xichu Pavilion."

Jiang Shouzhong was speechless.

I’m so damn poor, getting my hands on a "Chasing Wind Step" was already a stroke of immense luck. If you’re so capable, why don’t you fetch me a more powerful Qinggong secret manual from the armory? Complaining about this and that.

"I’ll take him."

Qiuye said coldly, "We’re pressed for time, we can’t delay."

Xia He glanced at her younger sister without a word, then turned and skimmed into the night.

Qiuye grasped Jiang Shouzhong’s arm, and he felt himself being lightly and breezily pulled up as if he was a kite, then heard the rush of wind past his ears and found it hard to breathe. Thankfully, as a master of the Little Xuan Sect, once he circulated his breath internally, the discomfort immediately dissipated, and he realized he was practically flying through the air.

Apart from the occasional light tap on rooftops to propel herself, the woman hardly touched the ground.

Jiang Shouzhong was full of envy.

However, if he could practice "Chasing Wind Step" to the sixth level, he might also reach the level of Qiu Ye and Xia He.

All of a sudden, Jiang Shouzhong thought of the Snake Demon Mengniang and instinctively turned to look around.

In the dark night, no traces of any figure were visible, and he couldn’t tell if she had followed.

According to the plan, the three of them skirted past a gambling house and entered a small alley on the eastern side of Huailan Lake, heading for the back courtyard of Xichu Pavilion. Located roughly a hundred meters from the main pavilion of Fengyue, it had a side door through which servant girls and miscellaneous staff occasionally passed, and was therefore less guarded.

But Jiang Shouzhong and the others were well aware that the area where the captives were actually held was the most heavily defended.

Throughout their journey, Qiuye hadn’t spoken a word; after successfully infiltrating the outermost courtyard, she led Jiang Shouzhong along the corridors, eaves, and walls, skillfully avoiding obstacles like a deft spider.

However, when they encountered patrolling guards, she could only press Jiang Shouzhong as close to her body as possible.

Several times, the two were nearly pressed face to face against each other.

Barely separated by thin layers of clothing, Jiang Shouzhong, already a master of the Little Xuan Sect, could clearly sense the contoured curves of her body and the youthful fragrance of her skin.

Little Jiang remained earnest, not moving a muscle.

Master Jiang was equally earnest.
