Chapter 229 Crossing

After confirming that Han Tian's life signs had completely disappeared, Ling asked Sanzu to terminate his spiritual communication and go back first, while he followed the person in charge who came here to take over the power to continue to eliminate various troubles hidden under the routine. He was busy until the early morning of the next day before returning to the flower building to hand in the task to Feiying.

Feiying still had that charming and elegant demeanor, and her voice was also full of seduction, "As expected of an Uchiha ninja, you solved the problem even faster and more quietly than I expected... Now you can tell me in detail what reward you expect, and I will consider it carefully."

"Yes, that's what I think..."

However, as Ling continued to talk, the charming smile on Feiying's face gradually faded. While covering her beautiful face with a folding fan, her eyes, like those of a fox, narrowed. "You said that you hope that I can provide you with the nobles' specific movements against the ninja clan, and provide appropriate convenience for your clan members who come to carry out the mission. I can understand these, and they are just a small matter...

But you also hope that I can interfere with the tasks that Senshou and your clan can accept within the scope of my mission... I'm sorry that I can't agree to this.

Although some people don't like to follow the rules, I know very well that the reason why I was able to develop my power to this extent is because I [follow the rules], and this level of tricks is easy for a ninja to investigate... I hope you will pity me and not let me suffer unnecessary torment for this."

Ling knew that this request was a bit abrupt, but he didn't expect to achieve this goal from the beginning, so he just followed Feiying's words and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. When passing on the task, can you please slightly change the best client? As long as we are not ranked opposite each other, it would be even better if we can establish a new match."

As mentioned before, not all missions are sent directly to the locations of the various ninja clans. That is something only the nobles have the ability to do. For ordinary people, the client writes down what they want to do and then sends it to the nearest mail delivery office, which divides normal letters and commissions into different parts. The commissions are then sent to the black markets in each city that specifically interact with the ninja clans, and the messengers in the black market contact the various ninja clans to assign tasks.

When issuing a task, the client will usually give two to five preferred ninja clans, and the entrusted task will usually be handed over to the top-ranked ninja clan. Only if this party refuses will it be postponed until the task is vacant.

The reason why the Uchiha clan was entangled with the Senju clan to this point was because when they first arrived a long time ago, they accepted the mission that was rejected by many ninja clans to fight against the overlord of the Fire Country at that time - the Senju clan. In order to quickly integrate into the Fire Country, they took the initiative to form a counterpoint.

Feiying lowered her eyes, and after a brief silence, she spoke softly, "I won't bother you. If it's only this level, then I can still do it."

"Thank you very much," Ling bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude. "If you need anything, please send someone to deliver a letter to our clan's civilian city. I will accept it in the name of a private commission."

Feiying closed the delicate little fan and narrowed her eyes. "Then I will be grateful for your guidance in the future... I have prepared a place for you to rest. If you have no other instructions, I will ask someone to take you there to rest."

After expressing his gratitude once again, Ling yawned and stood up to leave with the waiter, while Feiying tapped the handle of the fan with her white and slender fingers, and chuckled after a long time, "This ninja master is really planning something big... You think so too, right? Du."

"Hey, you're right," the handsome young man slowly walked out from behind the screen and finally knelt respectfully in front of Feiying, "This ninja master has great ambitions..."

"Yes, for people like you and me, in order to survive, we cannot miss any possible changes..." Feiying stretched out her hand and gently stroked Du's face, "But I can't do this kind of thing myself, do you understand?"

"Yes, I will go to him and try my best to help him as you wish."

Feiying lowered her eyes, "...Do you know what the consequences are if you fail in this kind of thing?"

"Yes, but my life already belonged to you when you rescued me. It doesn't matter how you want to distribute it." Du still lowered his head obediently, but his breathing became rapid. He slightly tilted his head and pressed against Feiying's palm. "But if his plan succeeds and allows me to return to you alive, please reward me more?"

Feiying couldn't help but sigh, "If that is the case, I will have to rely on you to take care of me. Why do you insist on continuing to serve me?"

"Everyone lives for the redemption in their hearts, and you are my redemption." Du finally raised his head, his gaze towards Feiying becoming more and more fervent. "If it's for you, I'm willing to do anything."

"Ah... good child." Feiying took back her hand, half leaning on the small table and looking through the window at the gradually rising dawn in the sky. In her mind, she unconsciously recalled the determination revealed by Ling when he asked for his reward, and chuckled, "A child's dream is always so beautiful... It actually makes me feel excited for the first time in a long time."

As she finished her words, the kitten, who had been lying silently on the beam and dozing off, finally stood up silently, stretched beautifully, and left the room through the gap in the ceiling.
