Green Mountain

Bai Long nonchalantly said, "Ranting nonsense in front of me in the middle of the night, be careful or your head might fall."

Chen Ji calmly replied, "Mr. Feng, the prince has already informed me of your identity."

Bai Long was slightly taken aback, then responded, "Are you trying to deceive me, boy?"

Chen Ji shook his head sincerely, "It’s not a deception. The prince laid out his plans before he died and asked me to assist you..."

Before he could finish, Bai Long burst into raucous laughter as if he had heard some preposterous joke, "To deceive me, the boy dares to fabricate such an outrageous lie. Are you not afraid I’ll kill you right now? Truly audacious!"

Suddenly, Chen Ji said, "Mr. Feng, my master told me if I ever encountered a great difficulty, I should seek you out."

Laughing, Bai Long set down the vermillion brush on the rack and took off his mask, revealing Mr. Feng’s face, "I’m tired of your wild fabrications. If I listen any further, I might not be able to restrain myself from killing you. I thought you might have guessed further, but it seems that’s it."

Chen Ji remained silent.

Bai Long, still smiling, said, "I asked you time and again if you wanted to work with me, and you refused every time. What changed your mind now?"

Chen Ji replied, "I have decided to abandon the dark and seek the light."

With a lazy wave of his hand, Bai Long said, "I know why you have come and what you are thinking. But times are different now, what you seek is no longer within my power. Please leave."
