Chapter 508: Spying
That was an attack? The blood on his finger had come from his own neck and the color of it was off. It was far too shiny, and also a sweet smell spread from it.
He lifted his gaze to the woman that had just turned around. Her face was quite lovely, even with the angry sneer she wore and the tears staining her cheeks she was certainly a beauty that would turn many heads, and also one that Sage was acquainted with. She grabbed the collar of her flower covered red robes and her angry gaze turned to shock. Caught at her most vulnerable moment someone had approached her and she lashed out in shame and anger. Only now that shed turned around could she see it was that person who had once saved her life. A little crimson scorpion with dragonfly wings landed upon her shoulder while she held a hand over her mouth in horror.
Chong Xiezi. I thought it was you!
Sage had merely held out his hand and examined the blood for a moment before wiping it off on his thigh and smiling at the woman. She was in shock for a moment and then started crying again, Oh no, what have I done! I didnt mean to! Why did you sneak up on me like that! Damn it! Now you
Her tears started to flow even faster than before and she seemed to become a bit hysterical. Sage walked closer to her, holding his hands out, Hey! Please calm down, its just a little blood. Its my fault for surprising you, I dont blame you.
It its not just blood! Youve been poisoned, and theres no antidote! You idiot, why did you sneak up on me! Why did you have to go and get yourself killed!
She started hysterically crying again, not knowing how she could kill one of the few people that had shown her kindness. Her sorrow stole her strength and she started to fall. Sage stepped forward and caught her, Poison? Is that what youre worried about?
He shook his head, Poison cant hurt me, Chong Xiezi. Im perfectly fine, alright? Look at me. How long does it take for the poison to be effective? Am I showing any of the symptoms?
Chong Xiezi was startled out of her sorrow and blinked the tears out of her eyes as she examined Sages face. She gradually snapped out of her fit and regained her footing, standing up and touching his cheek and forehead, How? How can you are you serious? You should be changing colors by now.
She turned back around and looked at him curiously. He held up his hands and explained what hed seen and she laughed, Hah, that fool is just a puppet. Hes just the ringleader of some chumps. Trying to kiss up to those noisy golden asses.
Oh? Ive been trying to learn more about whats going on in the Chong Clan, but that little Jinxi girl just tells me about how shiny everything is and how rich and powerful they are.
Hah, of course she would. They want you on their side. The Patriarch formally named you a Branch Head just so they could pull you over to their side. Even if you dont have any power behind you, it still can have some weight.
Their side? What do you mean? Isnt the Patriarch in charge, why is there a side?
To the outside, yes. But, to those of us in the Clan a conflict has been brewing for quite some time. Jinxi is afraid of us Xie. The Great Elder of Xie is the only person in the Clan that can rival the Patriarch and that makes him nervous. Theyve been trying to suppress us for years. Xiyi, those slimy lizards, are always eager to kiss golden ass. We had to ask for help from the toads to mediate, which worked for a while, but theyve been working to get the Wu on their side lately.
Sage took all of this in, two pairs of factions facing off. This Chong Clan was really a hotbed of internal turmoil. He didnt really know how he should be handling this. Politics were really not his forte. Hed only just finished building a foundation for the Lang Clan to return and he was already getting pushed to choose sides.
Well, at least I learned about it now. Maybe I can figure out a way to keep from committing without upsetting either side.
Xiezi saw the look on his face and laughed, Che-He-Hehe. You look like you want to run away. Sorry, Lang Sheng. The Jinxi arent going to let you do that. Theyre going to want your support. Your only other option will be to pick the other side and join forces with my Xie. One of my Xie was probably going to approach you in the next few days to try and set up a meeting, but they werent really going to try very hard. I tried to convince them that you could be useful, but they didnt believe me. Heh, you really shouldnt have broken through. If you werent a Nascent Soul they would still be completely ignoring you.
Well, this is a first. I never thought Id ever wish to be weaker.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
