Not A Cultivator - Chapter 100
There’s no other way to explain it. Yu Liang even has forgotten the basic of basics to be a spy.
No disguise, he came here wearing casual clothes like an ordinary villager. Usually, if someone wants to apply as a guard, they will wear armour or training clothes to show their seriousness. And, without information or preparation, how are you going to lie your way in.
As one of the experienced seniors, Yuan Bao Shang knew very well, Yu Liang will fail. But as a sworn brother, he has to warn Yu Liang no matter how stupid he became.
“What are you doing!? Have you forgotten the basic of being a spy? We have to plan this out carefully!”
“Look! I’ve already planned this out! We’re going straight to the gate and directly became Feng Ao Xiu’s bodyguard! Besides, didn’t you just said you will follow my plan?”
“Yu Liang, You’re f*cking crazy!!! Did the mission in the North Sheng Country made you lose your mind!? No matter how good you are, you can’t be Feng Ao Xiu’s bodyguard just by talking to them!”
“I can! You wanna bet?”
“…” Yuan Bao Shang did not know what to say, Yu Liang seems to be so confident in his impossible plan. “All right, Let’s bet 100 gold taels!”
“Okay! If you win, you’ll get your gold.” Yu Liang smiled, “But if I win, I want the armour that you’re wearing!”
for visiting.
The more Yuan Bao Shang heard, the more convinced he became. The armour that he’s wearing was to accommodate the plan on pretending to be a hunter from far away. Although it was a bit expensive of 10 gold taels, it still doesn’t compare to 100 gold taels. Yu Liang’s head must have been hit somehow.
In the end, Yuan Bao Shang could only nod. The best way to do this was to wait until Yu Lian fails before he scolds his brother again.
The two men made their way into the gate without any preparation. Just a few meters away from the sight of the gate guards, Yuan Bao Shang became more nervous.
“Wait! Who are you two!?” was what Yuan Bao Shang thought would happen. But, quite the contrary, the guards at the gate didn’t say anything.
[Huhh… Did we just passed them?]
The two men kept walking again. On the way, they met another guard. Although they supposed not to know each other, Yu Liang raised his right hand and greeted the guard, “Hi, working hard?”
The guard also raised his right hand and replied back, “Hahaa… No, I’m taking a break.”
Yu Liang and the guard made a high-five.
“See you later!” said Yu Liang.
“See you!” said the guard.
As they passed the guards, Yuan Bao Shang got even more confused. It seems like they know each other for years, but that could not be possible. Yu Liang just got back from the North Sheng Country, he has no time to make friends with a guard of Feng Clan.
[What’s happening? Could it be… There are thousands of guards in the Feng Clan Residence, they could not possibly know all their teammates. So, Yu Liang used that to his advantage and pretended to be one of their teammates has been forgotten. But, currently, we’re not even wearing guard’s uniform, how is this even possible?]
As they kept walking, yet, they met another guard. This time it’s Yuan Bao Shang who raised his hands and spoke first, “Hi, working hard?”
Although it’s best to keep quiet, Yuan Bao Shang was curious. Could his hypothesis be correct? That the guards of the Feng Clan were all ignorance? That would explain why Yu Liang was so confident.
“Huh? Who are you?”
“Ehh…” However, he got a reply he didn’t expect. It makes Yuan Bao Shang startled and did not know what to say.
The guard squinted his eyes at the man before him, “I never saw you around here before. State your business!”
“I’m… I’m… I’m…”
“Speak clearly! Why are you talking like that?”
“I’m not… I’m just a new…”
“You look suspicious! You better answer questions or else…”
[Why? It’s working when Yu Liang’s doing it!!!]
Seeing, Yuan Bao Shang so flustered, Yu Liang interfered. He told the guard, “It’s okay, leave him to me…”
The guard noticed the one talking to him. Because he’s Feng Ao Xiu’s personal bodyguard who has a higher position, the guard nodded and left.
[What just happened? How could Yu Liang dismissed that guard with only six words?]
“What are you doing? Don’t you know that’s dangerous! You’re just getting in the way.” Yu Liang scolded.
“…”
The two men continued walking for quite a while. Yet, once again, Yu Liang greeted another guard along the way. Just like the previous one, it feels like they’ve known each for a long time. It’s not strange if it’s only one or two, but Yu Liang did more than twenty times. Yuang Bao Shang was very curious, but after the last incident, he does not dare to imitate Yu Liang again.
“Where is this?” Yuan Bao Shang asked as Yu Liang has stopped in front of a house.
“This is the main residence.” Yu Liang said.
“The main residence!!! This is where Feng Ao Xiu lived?”
“Yep!”
Yuan Bao Shang was dumbfounded, he didn’t even realize they’ve arrived at Feng Ao Xiu’s residence. But, what’s shocking was the fact that except for his mistake that one time, no one else questioned them along the way. Without any disguise or information, it’s a miracle. Not only that, the path Yu Liang took was full of shortcut without any obstacle. Usually, they have to look around or even ask for direction along the way. However, Yu Liang didn’t turn his neck even once, yet he covered the whole area on the back of his mind, it’s just like he has been here for years.
“Okay… But why are we here? Shouldn’t we contact someone to be a guard?”
“Of course, we are here to ask Feng Ao Xiu to be his bodyguards!”
“Wait a minute! You want to ask Feng Ao Xiu directly!? You were serious about all of this!”
“What are you talking about? I told you from the start, didn’t I?”
“…” Yuan Bao Shang did not know what to say anymore.
Without any hesitation, Yu Liang just opened the door, there’s no knocking or contacting the servant. Yuan Bao Shang was no longer reacting to these things, he just accepted that it’s Yu Liang’s gift.
Soon, they meet Feng Ao Xiu.
Yuan Bao Shang was very nervous, after all, he’s about to meet the legendary Ancient Earth Realm. What if Feng Ao Xiu knows? What would he do? Will he kill us? The nervousness and overthinking made Yuan Bao Shang could not keep his calm.
“Feng Ao Xiu, please let us be your bodyguards!” said Yu Liang.
[Qian Hui? What is he doing?] Seeing him just gone missing since yesterday, then suddenly come back and asked to be his bodyguard although he’s already one… Feng Ao Xiu could not help but ask “What is this all about?”
Yuan Bao Shang nodded, Feng Ao Xiu’s reaction was expected. There’s no way you would be given a job directly to be under an Ancient Earth Mortal Realm.
“I’ll explain later! Just accept the two of us as your bodyguards!” Yu Liang said.
Yuan Bao Shang sighed. What’s Yu Liang talking? How could excuses such as “I’ll explain later” would work? Does he think Feng Ao Xiu is a child?
Feng Ao Xiu was confused, but he glanced at Yuan Bao Shang, the man Qian Hui brought. It must have been something to do with him, so Feng Ao Xiu just plays along. “Okay then, You two can be my bodyguards!”
[What the hell!!!] Yuan Bao Shang was about to go crazy.
[How could it be so easy!? Please tell me this is a prank!?]
[I was mistaken… Yu Liang did not become a fool, but he becomes a genius!]
