Not A Cultivator - Chapter 101

The two men quickly got assigned as Feng Ao Xiu’s bodyguards. They were given clothes and a room for accommodation. Although Qian Hui has his old uniforms and room, Feng Ao Xiu gave him new ones.

Although Feng Ao Xiu did not know what’s going on, he followed along with Qian Hui’s charade. The reason was simple, Feng Ao Xiu had this kind of experience before. Years ago, when he was still in the Upper Realm, he had to trick a wealthy merchant into thinking the Celestial Hundred Pavillion was safe without an enemy.

The merchant was on the run, he tried reaching to some small and medium sect to ask for protection. He met Feng Ao Xiu and was impressed by Feng Ao Xiu’s talent. Then, he was brought to the Celestial Hundred Pavillion so he could evaluate the sect himself. However, Feng Ao Xiu had no way of contacting the members of his sect. Thus the weakness of Celestial Hundred Pavillion was quickly revealed, and the merchant cancelled his request. It was such a shame because the merchant was willing to pay a hefty sum of price for a month of protection.

Now, Qian Hui was in the same position as him. Feng Ao Xiu would do everything he can do to help. He will have to ask Qian Hui later regarding all of this.

Yuan Bao Shang and the man he thought was his sworn brother were currently changing their clothes to the guards uniform.

“Yu Liang, how did you do all of this? What kind of skills is that? When we’re done with all of this, you’re gonna be famous! I believe you will be promoted soon.”

“Haha…” Yu Liang just laughed, but he did not reply.

“C’mon… You’re my brother, you got to tell me your secret! Not even Elder Zhang Le could achieve a better result than you.”

“I’ll tell you later…” Yu Liang smiled a little, his eyes glanced at the metal plate Yuan Bao Shang was wearing. “Anyway, I won the bet. It’s time for you to give me that armour.”

“The bet… Ah! Right…” Yuan Bao Shang has totally forgotten about the bet earlier. Only now, after Yu Liang reminded him that he remembered. But he wonders why Yu Liang place such an important to this bet, it’s only a slightly better than average armour, why does he want it so much?

As this was a mission as a spy, it was better to not brought too many items. Yuan Bao Shang only has this armour that he’s wearing, if he takes it off, he will be defenceless.

But, a bet’s a bet, it was the fact that he lost. It’s better if he gave it to Yu Liang. Perhaps by giving him the armour as quickly as possible, he could gain favour and persuade Yu Liang to show him the secret technique. Besides, he already accomplished the hardest part of the mission, get as close as possible to the target. If he could get some information from Feng Ao Xiu, everything would be perfect.

“Here, take it…” Yuan Bao Shang quickly took off the armour and passed it to Yu Liang.

As he received it, Yu Liang made a sinister smile on his face as if he just thought of something wicked and awful. Yuan Bao Shang saw the expression on Yu Liang, but it did not even cross into his mind that the smile was directed to him. He will soon realize how wrong it was.

“Do you want me to teach you the secret technique?” Yu Liang asked.

Yuan Bao Shang was confused and surprised at the same time. Earlier, he asked to teach him the secret, but Yu Liang seemed evasive and wants nothing to do with it. But, now he’s very eager to give him everything he knows. Does it have something to do with the armour? Anyway, since Yu Liang has changed his mind, Yuan Bao Shang happily took his offer. “Of course!”

“Good!” Yu Liang nodded as he tidied up the uniform he wore, “Follow me!”

“Where are we going?” Yuan Bao Shang asked, “Shouldn’t we report and protect Feng Ao Xiu? After all, we just became his personal bodyguards…”

“Report? Protect? It doesn’t matter! Feng Ao Xiu won’t mind.” Yu Liang said as waved his hand. “Let’s just go to training grounds, and focus on learning the secret technique!”

To suddenly become Feng Ao Xiu’s personal bodyguard, then does not have to do anything. Furthermore, he could go anywhere and learn the secret technique from Yu Liang. It’s all seemed too good to be true. Although what Yu Liang said was unlikely to happen, Yuan Bao Shang trusted Yu Liang. After all, Yu Liang just did the impossible, he could surely evade punishment from something simple as not doing your work.

The two men arrived at the training ground. There was Head Guard Cui, over there training some of the guards.

Head Guard Cui noticed Qian Hui, the lazy guard coming to his direction. Even until now, he couldn’t understand why the Second Young Master would pick Qian Hui as his personal bodyguards. But, as a head guard, he has to discipline no matter who it is.

“You!!! Where were you!? You already missed a total of 980 hours of practice!” Head Guard Cui shouted loudly that everyone in the surrounding area could hear what he said.

“A total of 980 hours?” Of course, that words also fell on Yuan Bao Shang’s ears.

[That’s weird… According to my information, the guards of the Feng Clan trained for 10 hours every day. If Yu Liang missed 980 hours, that means he has been here for at least three months..]

Yu Liang just smiled and scratched the back of his head, “Haha… I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I got an explanation for this!”

“Yeah! You better give me an actual reason! I won’t accept excuses such as your grandma got sick or your little brother died again! Do you hear that!? Qian Hui!!!”

“Yes! Yes! I heard it clearly!”

“Qian Hui???” Yuan Bao Shang became confused. [Wasn’t Yu Liang’s fake name supposed to be Qiu Hao? How come it becomes Qian Hui? Wait… Where have I heard that name before? Ah! It’s one of Feng Ao Xiu’s personal bodyguard’s name. But, isn’t Qian Hui supposed to be dead…]

Then, Head Guard Cui noticed the man behind Qian Hui. “Who is this man? Is this a new guard?”

“Yes… He’s new…”

Yuan Bao Shang could feel something dangerous was about to happen. His instinct tells him to run, but he could not find a reason to run away.
for visiting.

Currently, his brain was working very hard like it never happened before.

[Again? Why does every guard seem to know Yu Liang for years? But, they always treated me like a stranger…]

[Could it be? There’s misinformation… What if Qian Hui never died? Then who is this man? Is he Yu Liang or Qian Hui…]

[Okay, let’s assume he’s Qian Hui and not Yu Liang. Where is the real Yu Liang? Come to think of it, I didn’t even recognize him after not meeting him for ten whole years. There’s nothing similar about him and the Yu Liang that I know…]

[Then, that means Qian Hui infiltrated the Silver Hands Owl while pretending to be Yu Liang. But, is that even possible? This is the Silver hands Owl, we’re the ones doing the infiltration not being infiltrated…]

Yaun Bao Shang’s brain worked even harder. He closed his eyes and concentrated on remembering.

[“Yu Liang’s back? But, I heard it’s not until another year before he comes back?”]

[“Where have I seen Yu Liang before? He seemed familiar…”]

[“Yu Liang lost a lot of weight! He’s practically a skeleton!”]

[“Hey, have you heard? Qian Hui’s dead…”]

[“What does Qian Hui looks like?”]

[“I heard he’s skinny! He’s practically a skeleton!”]

[“He’s practically a skeleton! He’s practically a skeleton! He’s practically a skeleton!”]

Yuan Bao Shang opened his eyes.

“F*ck!”
