"No ill intentions?" Lei Wujie looked at the ghostly Abyssal Eye sword in Jin Wei Gonggong's hand, his tone full of disbelief. "Why can’t I tell."

"Because there is only one person who can dispatch the Heavenly Revelations Five Grand Eunuchs. That person may do a lot of things, but the one thing he will not do is send someone to kill me." Xiao Se gently swept away the dust on the stone bench next to him. "Jin Wei Gonggong, sit."

Jin Wei Gonggong nodded, kept his sword, and walked forward. As he moved closer, Lei Wujie finally got a good look at his face. He had thick full brows and large eyes, self-assured without anger, completely different from the impression of gloom he’d given off earlier. Jin Wei Gonggong sat down next to Xiao Se, accepted a bowl of fish soup from Tang Lian, took a sip, and praised, "Not bad."

Zhenzhu looked dazed and she didn't understand what happened. She saw Lei Wujie putting away his sword and walking over so she hurriedly asked, "What on earth is going on?"

Lei Wujie thought for a while, and replied, "Actually, my Xiao-xiongdi is a young master from a rich family, but he had a huge falling out with his family and asked us to secretly run away with him. This is an elder from his family who’s here to bring him back."

"Oh… I see." Zhenzhu nodded as if she’d understood.

Xiao Se asked softly, "Your master sent you?"

Jin Wei Gonggong shook his head and replied, "I originally came to the Eastern Sea Municipal Government to take care of some official matters, but a few days ago, I suddenly received a letter telling me that you’re setting sail from here. I was ordered to come and stop you, and to bring you back to Heavenly Revelations."

"Even Lanyue Marquis couldn’t take me away, so what confidence does Jin Wei Gonggong have to take me away?" Xiao Se asked quietly.

Jin Wei Gonggong’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Because everyone knows that when I, Jin Wei, receives an order means I’ve received an order. No one can persuade me, and no one can stop me. You could persuade Lanyue Marquis, but you can’t persuade me."

"Indeed, if we’re talking about the most unreasonable person in the whole of Heavenly Revelations, I’m sure you’re the first person everyone thinks of." Xiao Se put down his bowl. "So, Gonggong, you want to do this the hard way?"

Lei Wujie burst into laughter. "Gonggong can’t get hard though."

Jin Wei Gonggong frowned immediately and he pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Lei Wujie’s Heart sword also slid halfway out of its sheath at the same time, revealing a biting cold light.

"Jin Wei Gonggong, I have with me here the successor of the Heart sword. Although his head is not too good, he is the true successor of Lei Clan Fort’s Lei Hong, Snow Moon City’s Li Hanyi and Sword Heart Tomb’s Li Suwang and merely a small gap away from reaching that Unfettered Heavenly Realm. Also, I have this da-shixiong of Snow Moon City, who is Baili Dongjun’s and Tang Lianyue’s disciple and came in first during several Heroes Banquets." Xiao Se spread his hands. "Gonggong, if I really don’t want to go, would the two of them be able to stop you?"

"The outcome is fifty-fifty. You have a chance," Jin Wei Gonggong said frankly.

Xiao Se suddenly put out his hands. His hands were as white as jade. They were the hands of a proper noble son.

"Gonggong, do you see my hands clearly?" Xiao Se asked.

Jin Wei Gonggong was a little surprised and didn’t understand. "What about them?"

"My hands used to be able to denounce treacherous court officials and give rebels in the countryside a real trashing. But now these hands can only drink soup, peel crab shells, and balance account books." Xiao Se suddenly flipped his hands around. The other side was completely different from the jade-white back of his hands. They were covered with thick calluses. "I have practiced martial arts for more than ten years. Was all of that for such a pair of hands?"

Jin Wei Gonggong clasped the hilt of his sword lightly, and said nothing.

"Now, further beyond Three Snake Islands, I have a chance to regain hands that could turn over clouds and call forth the rain, that are the hands of the world. Why wouldn’t I go? Even if I die in that vast endless sea, I am willing!" Xiao Se said solemnly.

"But your father at home only wishes for his son to return to his side. He said that he’s willing to admit his mistakes to you, to restore everything for you, and to ensure your life is in no danger. Your father has an honourable and exalted status, but his wish is merely the wish of an old father," Jin Wei Gonggong said.

"Yes, I understand." Xiao Se raised his head, his eyes sharp. "But other people have their own way of thinking. But I am Xiao Chuhe!"

The entire yard was silent except for the echo of Xiao Se’s domineering words.

"But I am Xiao Chuhe!"

Jin Wei Gonggong sighed. "I’ve known you since you were a child. Back then, you were the person that everyone recognised to be the one to take that seat. It was because of that incident four years ago…"

"How much does Gonggong know about the incident four years ago?" Xiao Se asked suddenly.

Lei Wujie and Tang Lian were both surprised. Langya Prince’s rebellion four years ago was closely related to these two successors of the Four Guardians of Heavenly Revelations.

Jin Wei Gonggong’s expression changed slightly. "Four years ago, Langya Prince rebelled and finally committed suicide on the execution gounds. This matter is well known by all. Do you still insist on believing that Langya Prince was innocent?"

"I know exactly what kind of person huang-shu was. You go back and tell the person who sent you here, if he can't tell me the truth about the incident four years ago, then the day I return to Heavenly Revelations is the moment I start unravelling the truth!" Xiao Se rarely spoke so loudly, but when he spoke loudly, you couldn’t help but feel awestruck.

Perhaps this was the power and influence of the sixth prince who was able to awe and intimidate the imperial court at a young age.

"I understand." Jin Wei Gonggong stood up. "In three days, I will wait for you at the beach. The order I received was only to bring you back to Heavenly Revelations. Your only chance is to defeat me."

"Aren't you afraid that when I go back to Heavenly Revelations, I will cause you trouble?" Xiao Se coldly snorted.

"There is nothing under Heaven that could cause trouble to the Five Grand Eunuchs." Jin Wei Gonggong picked up his Abyssal Eye sword and walked slowly towards the door. His figure gradually melted into the dark night, the same as when he’d appeared out of the blue.

"They’ve sent someone very hard to deal with." Tang Lian sighed softly.

Xiao Se shook his head and said, "If he’d sent Jin Yan Gonggong, then he would definitely kidnap this Zhenzhu lady and force me to submit. If he’d sent the Grand Eunuch, then we might as well surrender immediately, there’s no need to fight, just follow him obediently back to Heavenly Revelations. Although Eunuch of Sword Jin Wei is unreasonable, he carries his tasks out according to his own set of rules. As long as we beat his rules, we’ll be fine. We should be feeling lucky that among the Five Grand Eunuchs, we got him."

"What about Eunuch of Incense Jin Xian and Eunuch of Records Jin Yu?" Lei Wujie asked.

"Eunuch of Records Jin Yu rarely leaves Heavenly Revelations. As for Jin Xian Gonggong, he’s a close friend of my shifu. Back then, he recognised me at the Great Sanskrit Temple, and knew who I was right away. But, he didn’t force me to go back with him. Back then, if he was going to, nobody could have stopped him," Xiao Se said.

Lei Wujie rolled up his sleeves. "Things are way different now. Now, if they want to take you away, they’ll have to ask the sword in my hand."
