This delegation was a formal diplomatic team. They were not only highly professional in handling diplomatic affairs, but also handled even important matters such as setting up camp, which represented the face of the State of Qi, with great care.
Last time He Yunxiao traveled to Yan on his own, he could only sleep in carriages or tents. But now, traveling with an envoy, every night, the soldiers in the envoy would set up well-made deerskin tents in advance. A large "Qi" flag fluttered above the tents, as if afraid others wouldn't know that this was the Qi envoy.
After having dinner with the delegation, He Yunxiao spent some time with Ruobao before making an excuse to slip away. With He Yunxiao's lightness skill, it would have been very easy for him to do so without being noticed.
The Orchid Bank's contingent camped behind the peace delegation. Overall, they resembled an ordinary merchant group, and naturally couldn't compare to the grandeur and imposing atmosphere of the delegation's tents.
The safety of the mission was the responsibility of Qi Jun, while the safety of the banking and merchant guild was the responsibility of He Yunxiao's short-sword army.
Generally speaking, anyone acting suspiciously and trying to approach a merchant guild at night would be stopped and questioned. But He Yunxiao was no ordinary person; he didn't even need to take any detours, he could simply and openly approach the merchant guild.
Who dares to stop the boss from going home?
However, even though He Yunxiao didn't try to be sneaky, he eventually started acting suspiciously.
There are many female members in the merchant guild, and He Yunxiao can't be in two places at once. Going to other places in front of the other girls would ultimately be detrimental to unity. It's best to be careful.
Besides, He Yunxiao still had "serious business" to attend to.
This peace negotiation is bound to be fraught with difficulties. Assassinations and coercion are still possible, and Chu Xiaoxiao, a Grandmaster alone, certainly cannot manage so many people. Moreover, Qing Yuzi's senior brother, Qing Xuzi, is from the Yan Kingdom. If Qing Yuzi doesn't recover her strength quickly, she'll be lucky if she doesn't get beaten to death by Qing Xuzi, let alone capture her senior brother.
The merchant group was full of He Yunxiao's people, so finding out which tent Fei Bao was staying in was incredibly easy.
In the dead of night, He Yunxiao lifted the curtain of Feibao's tent and slipped inside.
He Yunxiao wasn't surprised at all to see the woman meditating on the bed. It would have been abnormal for Fei Bao to go to sleep instead of meditating.
"Master, why are you wearing a veil inside the house?"
"I'm used to it."
He Yunxiao moved quickly and squeezed next to Fei Bao. "This isn't a good habit, I'll pick it for you."
The "close contact" these past few days has yielded fruitful results. After He Yunxiao took off Fei Bao's straw hat, he went to hold her little hand. Fei Bao did not react at all, not even frowning, as if she had already gotten used to it.
"Not bad, not bad, Master is already quite used to holding my hand now," He Yunxiao praised.
Qing Yuzi kept her eyes closed. "Don't call me master."
"What's that called?"
"That's fine, Miss Bai."
"Miss Bai, can't you call me Fei Bao?"
Master Qingyuzi opened her eyes. The cool, blue moonlight could not conceal the delicate pink blush on her face.
"Even if I told you not to call me that, you wouldn't listen, so why are you asking me?"
He Yunxiao grabbed Fei Bao's left hand with his left hand, and quietly wrapped his right arm around her waist from behind, then pressed his chest against her arm.
Faced with this level of intimacy, Bai Yufei trembled, her brows furrowed slightly, and her face flushed even more. She hesitated, wanting to refuse He Yunxiao, but ultimately did not.
"Feibao is still not used to it," He said with a smile.
"It's not something you can get used to so quickly... Even martial arts training takes quite some time."
"Master, your breathing is unsteady when you speak."
Bai Yufei glared at He Yunxiao, intending to look angry, but her beautiful eyes were now filled with spring-like charm, a shy and alluring look from a young woman.
"Don't call me master at this time," she said fiercely.
“Okay~” He Yunxiao agreed, and then said, “Feibao, we will be entering the Yan Kingdom in a few days. Isn’t your senior brother the abbot of the Baiyu Temple in the Yan Kingdom? If you don’t recover your strength, how can you be his match?”
"Aren't we trying it now?"
Bai Yufei felt the large hands on her body were restless, and she was both ashamed and afraid, so much so that she started to stutter.
"Too slow. We have five chances, and we haven't used even one yet," He Yunxiao said, shaking his head.
"Then, what do you want?"
"We need to speed things up."
How fast do you want it?
"Does Feibao trust me?" He Yunxiao asked with a smile.
Bai Yufei didn't know how to answer. If you said you believed him, his hands were wandering around everywhere; if you said you didn't believe him, he could be quite reliable sometimes.
Seeing that Fei Bao remained silent, He Yunxiao felt much more at ease.
All done!
Fei Bao isn't a smart baby like Meng Bao, Ruo Bao, or You Bao. Fei Bao is strong, but soft-hearted, lacks assertiveness, and is easily coaxed. She looks like a mature, sophisticated woman, but her mental age is only slightly older than Nan Zhu's, not by much.
"Feibao, if you believe me, then close your eyes."
Bai Yufei felt flustered and her eyes kept darting around as she looked at He Yunxiao.
He Yunxiao coaxed, "Be good, close your eyes."
Bai Yufei's already wavering resolve is now even more uncertain, leaving her at a loss.
"Feibao, be good. Close your eyes and leave the rest to me," He Yunxiao coaxed repeatedly.
This time, after much hesitation, Fei Bao finally obeyed and closed her eyes.
"Hmm..."
The snow-white clothes were thrown on the ground, like clouds falling from the sky.
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night.
...
Remaining attempts: 4/5.
The room was filled with the fragrance of a woman. He Yunxiao leaned comfortably against the edge of the bed, lazily watching the sky gradually brighten as the first light of dawn appeared.
