Chapter 1736: Face-slapping, Round 10 (3) Soon, the two of them arrived at the crossroads. The prince was still marching forward, but Feng Wu stopped him and pulled him into a thick growth of grass. He felt only half-awake, and he looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment. The grass was tall enough to cover them completely, so if they didn’t walk out of it, they wouldn’t be spotted. Feng Wu lowered her voice and whispered in the prince’s ear, “There’s a secret guard behind that rock to the northeast.” The prince was suddenly alarmed. He looked in that direction and soon saw a shadow under the moonlight. He took a deep breath. “There’s someone up in the tree to the northwest as well.” The younger prince was speechless. “See that branch over there? All the branches around it are swaying in the wind, but it isn’t. Why do you think that is?” The prince asked, “Is it because it’s fake?” Feng Wu said, “The branch is real, but it’s on someone’s back. It can’t move because it’s been tied up too tight, which is what gives it away.” The prince used to think that Feng Wu was on the same level as he was. The longer he observed her, however, the more impressed he was. “But that person is the most important one.” Feng Wu pointed at a man sitting on top of the tree some distance away. “That’s the most capable man of them all. If you can get past him, you’ll be able to get away.” The prince followed Feng Wu’s finger, and he had an amazed look in his eyes. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 “That’s Five!” he said. “Although his face is covered, he has a ‘five’ embroidered on his chest. He’s the fifth captain of my brother’s assassins!” After all those years being targeted by his older brother, the young prince knew a thing or two. Feng Wu nodded. “That’s what I heard from them as well.” “If Five is guarding the way, we won’t be able to get away.” The prince frowned. “Five is all about business, and takes his job very seriously.” Feng Wu smiled. “But you’re Sefiro now.” Only then did the prince remember that he was playing his sister. Feng Wu said, “Your sister is on your brother’s side.” The prince said, “But Five will probably keep me here and only let me go after everything is over. He’s always like that. He only takes orders from my brother.” Was that so? Feng Wu rubbed her nose, and her eyes lit up. “We’re not out of options yet. We can try something.” Once again, she knew what to do? The prince’s eyes flickered as he looked at Feng Wu in amazement. Feng Wu said, “Before that, I need to tell you something. It’s serious.” The prince turned to her with a solemn look on his face. Feng Wu said, “I have a bet with Sefiro. “The stakes are very high. If I win, I get to walk away with all the wealth she has accumulated.” “Wow!” The prince cried out in surprise. “My sister is very rich! She has a mine of crude spiritual stones!” Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “After you go back, keep an eye on Sefiro’s property for me. Make sure that nothing is taken away.” The prince nodded solemnly.
