Yanrian: “Hahahaha — Zhan Wucha, it feels like Zhang Ping was hurt. The streamer’s words were a devastating hit.”

 Sufei Tangtang: “Cough, cough, cough, although I also want to laugh so badly, Zhang Ping probably doesn’t understand what Zhan Wucha means, right?”

 Chisude Shuzi: “I hope not, if he understood, he would be gravely hurt. Speaking of which, who isn’t inferior in front of the streamer?”

 Laugh for Three Days: “Hahaha, please, the person above, your words are too hurtful.”

 There appeared a bashful smile on Zhang Ping’s face. Although his fighting abilities were limited, he has no problem defeating an average person. However, if he meets a difficult foe, he can only lie on the ground and seek emergency help from his lord, then wait and watch his lord defeat numerous foes.

 “My lord, why is this person following us?”

 Zhang Ping still hadn’t discovered that person’s whereabouts. Other than him being focused on his job, another reason is he cannot sense that person’s ill intentions.

 Jiang Pengji said, “I am also unsure, but he must be an interesting person.”

 He was taken aback when he saw his lord’s intrigued expression. He was suddenly more curious about this “visitor” he had never met. The mysterious person continued to cough incessantly then it finally subsided. However, Jiang Pengji knew that person was still next door yet she slowly feasted on her lunch.

 Her appetite is bigger than the average man, she eats significantly more food every meal. Zhang Ping is always amazed that his lord doesn’t look buff. Since she eats voraciously, where does she hide all her meals? After eating and drinking their fill, they could hear the conversation between the waiter and the strange man from outside the private room.

 She said, “Let him in.”

 Shortly after, the curtains to the private room parted and a man wearing an old grey garment walked in. The man is approximately 27 to 28 years old, his body is skinny, and he was wearing old and baggy clothes. His two cheeks didn’t have much fat, his chin is sharp, his lips had an abnormal tinge of paleness, and his face was pale compared to an average person. If this person didn’t have clean facial features and exude a disposition of a good family upbringing, others may mistake him for an old gangster who is addicted to wine and lust.

 When this man appeared, the viewers in the live streaming room got excited.

 Nuli Chungao: “Ahahahah — this person’s image is not bad, he totally looks like a sickly, prodigal son.”

 Dongfang Yaoye: “Streamer, are you trying to congregate all the pretty men, to attract the ultimate weapon? The scholarly Confucius, your wife Wei Zixiao, the gentle and elegant Feng Huaiyu, blurry and contradicting Li Han Mei, the foodie and foolish, Yang Jing Rong, the demure and nagger Xu Xiaoyu, the mature and dark Qiguan Rang…Aiyou! Now, there’s a not bad looking but sickly and unrestrained unknown youngster… this livestream’s eye candies are priceless.”

 Tangxiaoya Yeshiwo: “Hahaha, this description is flawless, but what business is it with the foodie and foolish Yang Jing Rong? Be careful or Yang Si will find you to share his troubles with you at night, beauty Wei Ci’s description of him is obvious — competent at devising evil strategies, apt at poisonous tactics.”

 Xiuxian Taishuang: “If the godlike Yang Si does his accounting at night, please remind him to come to my bed and the bed will be warmed for him.”

 Jiang Pengji glanced at the person in front, he was not informal at all and unabashedly took his seat near Jiang Pengji.

 She added abruptly, “If you don’t wish to die prematurely and leave orphans with no one to care for them, I urge you to give up on consuming Hanshi powder.”

 The man looked at Jiang Pengji while Zhang Ping was also looked surprisingly at the strange man.

 “You must have taken Hanshi powder for at least 4 years. If this continues, you will be reporting to the King of Hell soon. When you consumed Hanshi powder recently, the intervals between using have become shorter. If you don’t determine in your heart to quit this addiction, you may even consider where you want to be buried after you pass on. Have you experienced what it feels like when your addiction hits you? If your addiction comes and you cannot obtain Hanshi powder, do you have the determination not to beg others?” She asked these questions very naturally. “I can tell that you’re an arrogant person, I believe you won’t want others to see you in a pathetic state.”

 The youngster initially wore a smile of apathy but the more he listened, the more his facial expression turned hostile. His eyes became stern. Zhang Ping didn’t understand and was bewildered.

 She focused on her own benefits and said, “Forget it, I find you unsuitable.”

 The youngster was shocked, he hadn’t even said anything, the indignation and anger arose in his heart by a notch.

 “What do you mean?”

 Jiang Pengji said rudely, “Although you didn’t say much since you came in, I know everything. You followed the route that Xiheng and I took, did you really think I didn’t notice? I believe you must be a talent Zixiao recruited through his letters and you were observing if I was suitable… However, a talent can choose his master, but conversely, a master can also choose her talents. When you walked in, I already felt you were unsuitable.”

 Zhang Ping was at a loss, he felt like going up to the streamer and gagging her mouth to shut her up. If this young fellow was really recommended by Wei Ci, he must be extremely talented. His lord cannot court death like that!

 Observing Zhang Ping’s conflicted expression, his mood was slightly better. Still, he intentionally spoke up with a harsh tone.

 “Such a foolish person, is this the virtuous lord that Wei Zixiao has set his sights on?”

 Because of his failure to understand, he deemed it as mockery and this caused him much displeasure.

 “The world is filled with talents in abundance, it doesn’t hurt to have one who courts death and creates trouble. With your health, how long can you labour for me?” Jiang Pengji rebutted sarcastically. “Please recall carefully, the past two times you ingested the powder, how long could your mind stay alert?”

 Being clearheaded is a critical criterion for a strategist. The youngster is addicted to consuming the powder, Jiang Pengji dare not use it flippantly. He is no doubt talented, but not all talents can be used. He kept silent momentarily then he carefully recalled Jiang Pengji’s words. Then he realised she wasn’t raising this problem groundlessly.

 “Did Zixiao tell you this?”

 He had consumed Hanshi powder for years but the circle of people who know is small, and Liu Xi may not know unless Wei Ci told her.

 She said honestly, “No, Zixiao didn’t say much, he didn’t even tell me who he wrote to.”

 The youngster was rather interested in making things difficult. “I believe in my abilities to assist in ruling the realm, aren’t you afraid I will harbour hatred towards you if you just chase me away? Fengyi county may be the land richest in resources in the north, but its terrain is not ideal. It can be easily attacked. If I set my heart on taking revenge over this humiliation, I am certain I have this ability.”

 Jiang Pengji didn’t even lift her eyelids and retorted mockingly, “If you continue to live wildly and your body survives till that age, I will admit defeat.”

 The young man curled the side of his lips and almost couldn’t control himself. Was there indeed a person on the earth whose mouth is more cunning than his?

 Zhang Ping was afraid the youth will shake his sleeves in anger and walk away. Nonetheless, the youngster didn’t walk off angrily and unexpectedly he continued to speak sarcastically with the lord, the words exchanged were sharp and mean.

 It felt as if each had met their match.

 The talents at the beginning of the year… he truly cannot comprehend them.

 Even the viewers in the live streaming room were clueless.

 Previously it was Yang Si, now it is Feng Zhen, do they enjoy suffering one after another? If they are strategists and they meet with the streamer who’s so untactful with her words and has such a bad temper, they would have banged the table long ago and walked off.

 The youngster’s surname is Feng; his name is Zhen. His courtesy name is Zi Shi. He is from Zhangzhou, Anshan county.

 Feng Zhen frowned, still seemingly disbelieving, “…Hanshi powder… Does it really have such toxic properties?”
