Green Mountain

Under the cover of night, the alley was tightly sealed off by spies clad in black.

Hai Dongqing leaned against the eaves, peering through the gaps in the crowd, silently watching Manager Yuan encircled within.

He suddenly realized that he might not have the chance to betray the other party ever again. The Spy Department’s interest in Manager Yuan far exceeded his expectations.

This was the first Jing Dynasty Cao ever captured by the Spy Department, and using him well could inflict a severe wound on the Jing Dynasty Military Intelligence Department.

Jin Zhu didn’t look after Manager Yuan but squeezed out of the crowd and pulled Hai Dongqing aside.

He whispered in a lowered voice, "You really have some nerve, kid! Daring to come after him alone without even stepping onto the cultivation path? What if he had the strength left to resist, a cornered beast will still struggle; if he really decided to drag you down with him, where would you go to reason it out?"

Hai Dongqing explained, "My lord, his identity is extraordinary. We still need to interrogate him for new information. How can we allow him to escape?"

Jin Zhu couldn’t help smiling and crying at the same time, "It’s also my fault, I was worried you wouldn’t act convincingly, so I didn’t share the plan with you. Tonight’s events were all staged, and we had no intention of letting him escape."

Hai Dongqing smiled, "As long as I didn’t hinder your plan, that’s good."

Jin Zhu repeated earnestly, "You cannot be so reckless again!"

Turning around, he returned to the alleyway, waved off all the spies, then crouched in front of Manager Yuan, saying gravely, "Manager Yuan, have you recovered? If it weren’t for Heavenly Horse feeding you the ’Divine Bridge’ elixir refined by the Huangshan Daoist Leader, you’d already be dead now."
