"It’s still early, another month to go," Liao Zihui asked again, "I heard Director Du’s side also encountered the Green Flower, how are things over there now?"

"Still in treatment. Are all those Singing Empresses in Puluo State attending the Autumn Song Festival?"

"It’s hard to say for previous years, but this year they definitely have to attend. Xiaoyao Lodge is the territory of Li Qi and Ma Wu. Which Singing Empress would dare not to attend? I’m just curious, did Director Du really encounter the Green Flower? Even though Kang Zhenchang is there, but the problem with Green Flower is quite tricky to handle."

"With Doctor Kang around, it should be fine," Shen Jingye asked mysteriously, "Old Liao, tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Jiang Mengting?"

Liao Zihui sneered: "Do I?"

The two stopped talking.

Shen Jingye didn’t say anything useful, what he said was indeed pointless.

...

Two days later, at ten o’clock in the evening, the train arrived at Greenwater City. Deputy Envoy General Tang Huanjie came to meet them. Liao Zihui said to Shen Jingye, "Old Shen, want to have a drink at my place later?"

Shen Jingye waved his hand: "Not today, I need to hurry back, there’s still a pile of work at the office."

Liao Zihui frowned, "What’s wrong Old Shen? We haven’t seen each other for so long, are you keeping your distance from me? Didn’t you say you wanted to see the Autumn Song Festival?"

"When the festival is on, be sure to let me know, I’ll definitely go. For now, I really can’t leave. Let’s finish the paperwork, and I’ll head back tonight."

Shen Jingye didn’t even get off the train.

His job was just to escort Li Qi to Greenwater City. What happens after Greenwater City was all up to Liao Zihui and had nothing to do with him. This point he was very clear on.

Outside the station, Liao Zihui deployed twenty-five steam trucks, each with four carriages, each carriage holding fifty people, bringing these five thousand people into Greenwater Bay.

Passing through Greenwater City, the Three-Headed People peered out through the gaps in the carriage templates.

The gaps were tiny, they couldn’t see clearly outside, only saw flashes of light and colors in the night, looking quite beautiful.

In the City of Sinners, they feared the light of the night, because once there was light at night, it surely meant the Heavenly Light had arrived.

But today’s light wasn’t scary at all. They just wondered where this light was coming from.

Crack!

A piece of wood was pried off the carriage, revealing a hole.

Through the hole, the Three-Headed People could see clearly.

There were buildings outside, with lights of various kinds shining on them.

There were people on the street, dressed in beautiful garments, moving back and forth under the light halo.

The vehicle passed Peace Mansion, and a very young Three-Headed person named Shuanzhu looked up at the tall building with his three heads, and asked, "What’s that place?"

No one could answer him, no one knew what those high and beautiful buildings were for.

Shuanzhu stared at Peace Mansion for a long time, until it completely disappeared from view: "It’s really beautiful, that place is really beautiful, the people there are beautiful too, are they like us?"

A middle-aged man next to him snorted: "Can they be the same? They don’t have three heads."

"All the same!" Li Qi pried off another piece of the wooden board on the carriage, "They’re all people, there’s no difference."

...

At four-thirty in the morning, the truck stopped at Sheqiao Village.

This village was very remote, having been abandoned for many years due to mountain bandits, with the houses in ruins.

Liao Zihui ordered the unloading, and five thousand Three-Headed people got off the truck, completing Liao Zihui’s mission.

"Brother Li, the Greenwater Beggar is coming to pick up the people here?"

Li Banfeng nodded: "Yes, wait here for a while, he’ll be here soon."

"Why should I wait for him? I’m not related to him."

If it were anyone else, Liao Zihui would indeed have to wait a bit, but not Green Flower. If you run into him, who knows what you’ll catch.

The truck drove away. Before long, two groups of people arrived in the deserted village, one from the He Family and the other from Ma Wu.

In the coming days, they’ll take care of this group of Three-Headed people.

In Qi Qiu City, Ma Wu had seen many Three-Headed people, but seeing five thousand of them standing right in front still made him a little nervous.

He Yuxiu was also a bit nervous, but not because of the Three-Headed people. She had seen everything traveling across Puluo State. She was nervous about the promotion.

The Three-Headed people had arrived, and the day of Strong Cloud夺 was approaching.

He Yuxiu breathed into her palms; her hands had been cold these past two days.

"Brother Seven, I’m a bit unwilling."

Li Banfeng was taken aback: "What’s there to be unwilling about?"

He Yuxiu smiled: "I want to have a child. Didn’t want one when I was young. Now at this age, I want one, but can’t find a suitable person."

Li Banfeng thought she was joking again: "Life is long, take your time to find."

He Yuxiu said: "Isn’t it because I’m about to be promoted, who knows if there will be a chance in the future."

Li Banfeng frowned: "You told me last time that you knew the method for Strong Cloud夺."

The mechanism of Martial Cultivation is different from that of Traveling Cultivation and Home Cultivation, Li Banfeng’s promotion method didn’t apply to He Yuxiu.

"I know, it’s about entering the gate twice, right." He Yuxiu did know the method, but whether she could succeed was another matter.

"What is entering the gate twice?"

"It’s our Martial Cultivator’s trick," He Yuxiu didn’t want to elaborate, fearing that Li Qi would worry, "Brother Seven, I’ve owed you a lot in this life. If this doesn’t work out, the He Family will still rely on you. If it works out, I really don’t know how to repay you, I’d be yours in the future. Don’t think too much, I don’t mean anything else, I... I can’t say..."

"You can’t say," Li Qi laughed, "you’ve always been mine!"
