Chapter 207 - 159 The Fire Maniac
"What’s your code name at the Sword Bureau?" Shen Yucheng suddenly asked.
Ji Xinghuo was perplexed.
Shen Yucheng’s demeanor was nothing like a deserter; he was calm and composed, showing no signs of panic at being found by a Swordsman from the Sword Bureau. Instead, he chatted with him as if they were friends.
"I hope you can tell me," Shen Yucheng said seriously, "it’s not for my sake, but for your own good."
"What do you mean?" Ji Xinghuo finally spoke.
"Whoever was the first to find me here, possessing such abilities in the Immortal City, definitely wouldn’t be just any Swordsman." Shen Yucheng observed Ji Xinghuo’s face, as if trying to see through the disguise to the true face beneath, and said, "You came sooner than I expected, much sooner. I thought it wouldn’t be until at least tomorrow night that a Swordsman would find this place."
He nodded again, "That’s good."
"It means that your strength is quite formidable, maybe enough to handle future difficulties and enemies."
"Now, tell me your code name."
Shen Yucheng kept talking, leaving Ji Xinghuo utterly confused, but it was clear that he wasn’t bluffing, and his words were pregnant with deeper meaning.
