Chapter 920: Chapter 919: Assignment and Instruction
Wufu meticulously instructed Purple Jade on what she needed to do in this royal city. The amount of time they had left was uncertain, so they had to arrange everything quickly.
For this purpose, Wufu selected Chi Er from among the Chi to assist Purple Jade. There was no other choice; with insufficient personnel, she had to use private commitments for public purposes.
“Miss, it was agreed that you would guide them. Coming over to help me, isn’t that a bit…” Purple Jade seemed a bit conflicted, as it was agreed that these people were to learn skills from Wufu.
Wufu replied, “Even if he’s temporarily following me, he is considered my subordinate. Why can’t he be used? What I’m making him do is part of teaching, isn’t it? Don’t worry, I won’t hide anything he needs to learn.” With that, she tossed a dossier to Purple Jade.
“This, you two will execute together.” Teaching one or two is the same, Purple Jade was also part of the training.
Purple Jade took it, having seen her write and draw continuously before, not knowing what it was; turns out it was all in this dossier?
She flipped through it and then handed it to Chi Er.
Chi Er took it and quickly browsed through it, looking slightly surprised at Wufu.
“The idea of combining men and women for work, making it less tiring, don’t think that what’s in this dossier is simple. To do it well truly requires effort and dedication. What I want to see is your execution and teamwork,” Wufu said calmly.
No matter how strong a person is, they can’t fight alone. Isn’t it said that a single bamboo is easy to bend, but a bunch is not? Exactly.
“To avoid attracting attention, to prevent people from easily probing, yet still build your own influence, it tests your ability and decisiveness. How to do it well in a short time is up to you.” Wufu looked at the two: “I don’t care about the process, only the result.”
Purple Jade and Chi Er exchanged glances and said, “Miss, I will give my all.”
Chi Er did not say more, only clasped his hands together to show agreement.
After dismissing the two, Wufu called in Chi San: “Wang Hao is someone who holds grudges and retaliates. Keep an eye on him, watch for any movements he makes. If he is still insistent on coming to trouble us, you know what to do?”
Chi San paused for a moment: “Please instruct me, Miss.”
“When a person has too many of his own troubles, he won’t have time to cause trouble for others.” Wufu said, “With so many people in the Wang Family, yet Wang Hao, as the legitimate second son, has so much Silver for gambling. Where did it come from? If the Wang family finds out, haha…”
Chi San immediately understood and said, “I will investigate right away.”
“Mm. Be careful not to burn yourself; I won’t save you.” Wufu glanced at him sideways.
Chi San’s face stiffened.
“I previously mentioned how to hide your presence, remember? Avoid direct eye contact because once you make contact, they will immediately sense something is wrong. Use your peripheral vision to observe things, though it may not distinguish colors easily, it offers a broader field of view compared to direct sight,” Wufu instructed. “Go execute it. As long as you follow the rules, even if you stand against the wall, people might glance at you initially, but will soon be attracted by other interesting things. So, don’t make yourself look mysterious or too full of yourself.”
“Understood,” Chi San replied.
“Go, action is the best training. Hidden Guards only hide in the shadows, standing watch. Walking openly in the light, doing things underhandedly, yet letting no one know, that’s satisfying, isn’t it? Of course, just avoid getting yourself caught to count as success,” Wufu said with a smile.
Chi San’s expression twisted slightly at this perspective, yet he couldn’t find words to argue. He merely clasped his hands and then withdrew.
