Chapter 65 - 59. Enemy and Friend
"Assassinate Si Cao?" Wu Hongbiao was shocked, "The two of us?"
"Right, the two of us."
The small room in the cloth shop was empty. Wu Hongbiao was sitting cross-legged on the ground while Chen Ji leaned against the door frame at the entrance, the two men silently facing each other.
At that moment, Wu Hongbiao looked towards the door. Chen Ji was standing in a place backed by moonlight, his expression indiscernible.
He patiently tried to dissuade Chen Ji, "You’ve been with the Military Intelligence Department for a short time and haven’t really dealt with this Si Cao. Don’t entertain such dangerous thoughts."
Chen Ji discovered that even Wu Hongbiao, one of the most elite spies, was having second thoughts about "killing Si Cao."
He couldn’t help but ask, "How formidable is Si Cao?"
Wu Hongbiao gravely said, "You’re not an Executive Officer, so you don’t know how formidable they are. I’m merely a ’Postnatal Realm’ martial artist, but that Si Cao has been in the military for a long time, at least in the Perfect Innate Realm. He must be just a step away from the Seeking Dao Realm..."
Chen Ji showed confusion.
Wu Hongbiao helplessly, while nibbling on a coarse grain cake, explained, "Well, you won’t understand if I talk about realms, but let me put it simply: once in Jinling, Si Cao’s whereabouts were exposed. Over a hundred men from the Spy Department couldn’t capture him; he killed dozens and finally escaped into the Qinhuai River."
Chen Ji pressed on, "If the Innate Realm is already so powerful, how formidable must the Seeking Dao Realm be? Is it difficult to attain the Seeking Dao Realm?"
