The Eastern Continent Swordsman
CH. 27 – Interrogation

Highlight the eyes of Feng Yaoshan who was moving irregularly like proving that he was hiding something. Witnessing the nervousness that began to appear on Feng Yaoshan's face, Shen Shen was heartbroken at feeling betrayed by his own friend.

Feng Yaoshan saw the disappointment in Shen Shen's eyes, the same thing happened to him. He was also disappointed by his own decision. A decision that might have made Shen Shen would dislike him for quite a long time, or even forever.

“Brother Zhou, if I say honestly will brother Zhou be able to guarantee that he will drive Miss Shen home to Caihong safely?” Feng Yaoshan finally said a sentence explaining that he was in the wrong position.

Zhou Fu released the grip of his hand from Feng Yaoshan's neck, Zhou Fu's hand made a gesture to command Feng Yaoshan to sit back on the chair. Feng Yaoshan followed Zhou Fu's orders, in his heart, he was eager to make calculations on Zhou Fu. But he wasn't even sure if his life would survive that time. Feng Yaoshan previously did not expect that the person he was facing was someone who did not understand his position.

During this time, Feng Yaoshan had never experienced any difficulty when traveling in different regions. His identity as a first-class noble in Caihong and his mother's strong family status in Shamo made everyone think a thousand times if they were to do him bad.

Unfortunately, the greatness of protection and privilege of a Caihong first-rate noble was completely incomprehensible to Zhou Fu. Ignorance makes Zhou Fu position on the superior side, he is free to use his power without having to be imagined by the legal sanctions of Caihong state.

“Sit down and tell me everything you know, and you're Shen Shen, stay standing behind me! This man seemed to be hiding a lot of things,” Zhou Fu said of the two people who were in the banquet hall.

Shen Shen followed Zhou Fu's instructions, he stepped carefully behind Zhou Fu's body, as usual he would become a statue and wait for Zhou Fu to solve the problem.

“Now, start telling stories. Everyone!” Zhou Fu pointed at Feng Yaoshan's face with his index finger, if calculated using the articles in Caihong's country, Zhou Fu had already done a lot of heavy wrong to have done bad to first-rate nobles.

Feng Yaoshan took a deep breath, his one hand that was on the table looking busy tapping the surface of the table using his fingers. A movement that is usually done when someone feels anxious and uncomfortable.

“Puang Zhengyi is conducting a secret agreement with the Silver Dragon association. The Silver Dragon is an association that exists in the territory of the giant wall of Caihong, my mother has an important position in the association. Who's responsible for Miss Shen's abduction, I don't know. All I know is, the Silver Dragon association promised to find and bring Miss Shen to Caihong. My existence in Dengguang was of course in an attempt to find Miss Shen,” Feng Yaoshan stopped his confession. He hoped that Zhou Fu would stop interrogating him because of course a slight error in answering, his life would be a bet.

Zhou Fu closed his eyes for a moment after hearing Feng Yaoshan's long confession. For a while, Zhou Fu seemed to think of something, then he opened his eyes again and began to ask Feng Yaoshan a few more things.

“Why did the Silver Dragon association promise to bring Shen Shen home?” Zhou Fu raised both eyebrows, Feng Yaoshan's sentence seemed to have meaning if the Silver Dragon association had made a mistake and then corrected it through a secret agreement.

Feng Yaoshan looked startled by Zhou Fu's question, only to realize that he had chosen the wrong words. At least, Zhou Fu's question was the one he had been asking his mother. And to be honest, he himself did not quite understand, why the Silver Dragon association was involved, or indeed involved.

Feng Yaoshan gave an answer with a soft head, he hoped that Zhou Fu would truly believe that he did not know.

Zhou Fu stepped closer to Feng Yaoshan, he grabbed Feng Yaoshan's palm then fumbled Feng Yaoshan's pulse that was at the bottom of his palm.

“Tell me honestly, where are you going to take Shen Shen? To his father or to the Silver Dragon association?” Zhou Fu asked as he held Feng Yaoshan's pulse to ascertain whether the man gave an honest answer or lied.

Feng Yaoshan shook his head again, this time not as a gesture he did not understand. But a hint of confusion as the answer to the question would have left Shen disappointed in him.

“To be honest, of course I want to bring Miss Shen to her father. But that path was too risky, some groups outside the Silver Dragon association allies were also hunting miss Shen. I intend to bring Miss Shen to the Silver Dragon association. Of course for the sake of miss Shen as well,” Feng Yaoshan replied very honestly as well as that which was in his head.

“Can you guarantee if the Silver Dragon association is a good party? If the Silver Dragon association was not involved in Shen Shen's disappearance, why would they have to make a secret agreement with lord Zhengyi? If you care about Shen Shen, the best place for Shen Shen is his family!”Zhou Fu let go of Feng Yaoshan's wrist violently.

From Feng Yaoshan's confessions, Zhou Fu was now beginning to suspect the Silver Dragon association. It was just that, to be honest Zhou Fu had yet to understand what the association meant. Whatever it was, Zhou Fu believed the Silver Dragon association was involved in the case that befell the Shen Shen family.

“Numbers the names of the groups working together with the Silver Dragon association, Senior!” Shen Shen, who was just sculpting, is now involved in the interrogation process. It just so happened that Shen Shen was reminded of the female swordsman named Rao Guohoa who had fought with Zhou Fu before.

“Nona Shen, promise not to hate me..” Instead of answering Shen Shen's question, Feng Yaoshan begged sympathy for the woman he loved so much, “whatever I did, everything was for the good of Miss Shen!”

Shen Shen replied with a slightly stiff smile. In a deep heart, Shen Shen believed that Feng Yaoshan had no ill intentions towards him, but still the recognition that he would be brought to the Silver Dragon association left him slightly disappointed.

“Senior, we are good friends. We will forever be friends. That's why, right now I'm in need of help from a good friend, I want to go back to my family. If senior Feng can help, it will make me very happy,” Shen Shen showed a clear face, a skill that could put many men in danger.

When Shen Shen brought up the face, almost every man would say ‘iya’ at any Shen Shen request.
