Chapter 331 – Steamed Pork with Rice Flour (d)
Jin Ming’s schemes advanced in secret, therefore Shiyu did not have much knowledge about it [1a].
However [1b], thanks to the help of the Queen Bee Clan, they have some progress regarding the whereabouts of the Soul Drawing Flag. Right now, tens of thousands of bees had been mobilized to track down one Flag. She believed she would soon receive some news too.
Jin Ming wanted to find out more about Shiyu and her group. However, after some time had passed he made no progress. He had no choice but to reorganise matters once more [1c].
He never underestimates any of his opponents [1d]. Moreover, this particular opponent appeared more powerful than he had imagined. Regular people could not persuade Spiritual Beasts to help most businessmen.
“We cannot just keep waiting,” Jin Ming understood this very well.
The longer this dragged on, the more matters would deviate beyond his estimation.
In the end, his attention fell upon Qing Chen.
Such an excellent looking man. The State Master should like him very much. As someone who likes to eat meat, she loves all kinds of meat. There only meats she’s willing to eat, none that she dared not touch.
At any rate, now that the situation was gradually spinning out of his control, he might as well get someone else in to the mix and perhaps overturn the situation for him.
That way, once the [2] snipe & clam are done fighting each other, the fisherman could reap the benefits.
With this idea in mind, Jin Ming immediately mobilized his people. Moreover, there’s another element to Qing Chen that would definitely attract the State Master’s attention. He was also from the Eastern Empire.
After going through all that trouble with those previous two Eastern Empire people, the State Master would definitely want to regain her dignity by not letting another Eastern Empire beauty escape her clutches.
How could Shiyu have known that Jin Ming, this cannon fodder character from the original book, would suddenly wave his fingers and caused a strong wind here [1e]?

Seven days later, Shiyu received the exact location of the Soul Drawing Flag. That Soul Drawing Flag was currently in a small town, in a principality next to Sacred Universe Empire.
It had taken more than a month for the flag to travel from the Eastern Empire to this place. She had to admit that Li Tian’s remnant soul was indeed treacherous.
If Shiyu had not received information from Suo Lan about the flag, she would have likely let go of the matter, allowing Li Tian the opportunity to make a comeback.
When Li Tian makes a comeback, the rest of them would have left Ninth Realm. Who knows what the fate of the entire Eastern Martial Empire would be like?
Fortunately, none of these has happened yet.
“We must leave for Qiyun Town immediately.”
That’s where the soul-calling flag was right now.
This time, Shiyu set out with Qing Chen and the three Pandas. Liu Eleven asked Ling Xiaoxiao if she would go too but Ling Xiaoxiao answered expressionlessly, “If everyone went, who would take care of this place?”
Perhaps [1f] hurt by her tone of voice, Liu Eleven felt a little sad and a little embarrassed.
They used to be such good friends and could talk about anything. When they first came to the city together, she had always been by his side and educated him on various matters.
However, who knows what happened? Suddenly she became cold to him. She was always busy and could never be seen. When he saw her, she never gave him a pleasant look either.
Liu Eleven really did not understand. Just what happened?
Right now, the gap between himself and Ling Xiaoxiao had grown bigger and bigger. Especially after she had brought so many people from back home to this place and, in a short period of time, built a foothold for the Ling Clan here.
The credit was all hers.
Liu Eleven had always felt that Ling Xiaoxiao was much smarter and more capable than himself. Moreover, she’s very pretty and their personality meshed well together. There was a time he felt that they were like the childhood sweethearts mentioned in books.
Perhaps, once they become a little older, they could even match each other.
However, Xiaoxiao’s sudden growth spurt caught him off guard. It was as though the girl was running ahead of him while he was standing still.
This sense of difference made him realise a lot of things.
In the end, he left without a word.
After getting onto the Spiritual Beasts with Sister Xiao Shi, someone suddenly greeted him, “I didn’t expect to see you come with us.”
Liu Eleven looked up. In the open space just below the Spiritual Beast he was riding on, Luo Diemeng was waving cheerfully at him.
At the sight of her, Liu Eleven’s eyes lit up.
If you ask him what his biggest gain since coming here was, it was making such a friend.
The two somehow became familiar with each other during the time when Ling Xiaoxiao was not around. Liu Eleven liked talking to others and Luo Diemeng happened to be the chatty type too. Somehow, the two of them fell into conversation and found each other agreeable.
The two of them somehow go together a lot.
“Are you going too? Come sit beside me, let’s travel together.”
Luo Diemeng leapt up lightly to the back of the Spiritual Beast and asked, “Speaking of which, why are you alone?”
“Who else could be here but me?”
“Isn’t there a Xiaoxiao?” Luo Diemeng said. “I used to hear you talk about her all the time and thought I’d get to see her this time? Who would have thought I’d be scooping up water with a bamboo basket again. To think that until now, I still haven’t seen the actual person, how curious.”
“What’s so curious about it?” Liu Eleven said with some sadness.
Luo Diemeng looked at his wilted form and could not help but say, “Y-you two haven’t made up yet?”
“Aih,”
“Let me tell you, if a girl ignores you, you must have done something wrong. You had better reflect on your behaviour properly and figure out where you’re lacking or whether you’ve angered her somehow. If you still can’t think of anything, you should go and honestly reveal what’s in your heart. So long as there is no great hatred between you and her, it should work.”
Luo Diemeng, this [3] dog-headed military advisor, enthusiastically came up with all sorts of ideas for reconciliation.
“Truly?” Liu Eleven’s eyes lit up. He really did not want to be in conflict with Xiaoxiao. If the two of them continued to grow further and further apart, it would be too unbearable.
“Of course,”
“Then, I should go find her now!” Liu Eleven jumped off his mount to the ground.
He felt as though if he did not properly convey his thoughts, he would not be able to sleep at all.
Luo Diemeng stared at his disappearing figure with a dumbfounded expression before shaking her head with a laugh.
How impulsive, ah! Whatever, if he’s not impulsive, he would not be Liu Eleven.
As Liu Eleven ran off like a crazy person, Shiyu and Qing Chen naturally noticed it. However, neither of them said anything since Liu Eleven’s presence would not affect the mission either way.
Whether he come or not, they would not lose much. Coming with them would help him gain knowledge but he looked like he had something more important to do at the moment.
“Looks like everyone is ready, let’s go!” said Luo Dongting.

[1] Bit of a loose the logic here
[a] Lol, isn’t this how schemes are supposed to work?
[b] Lol, why the ‘However’? She did not know other people’s secret plans but progress with Bees?
Connection?
[c] Ahhh, it’s another occasion to make Shiyu look good. Carry on.
[d] Excuse me? Chapter 322?
[e] Um, duh?
All the clues are there: Lin Fan & Co. spite the Master + JM knows you guys are somehow related (he hinted as much before escaping your unfortunate noodle experiment) + commented on Qing Chen’s beauty = Duh
[f] Perhaps? Why use ‘perhaps’ here?
