China’s Northwest…
A herd of sheep was moving slowly up a slope . Their white fur resembled the clouds floating in the sky, like reflections of the clouds .
A shepherd sat on a boulder, away from the sunlight . He was munching something, and seemed to be enjoying it . He was not in a rush to tend the sheep . He just let the sheep move on their own, as if he was not worried that they would stray away, or be eaten by the wolves in the wild .
He was about to take a nap when he suddenly sensed something behind him .
He turned around and saw a drawing appearing on the loose ground behind the boulder . The drawing formed a line of unknown characters .
The Shepherd smiled when he saw the magical characters . “You finally remembered me . ”
It took the words some time to complete a sentence . Extradite Blue Deacon Eagle Eye from Mount Wuyi . She has just taken out an Elder of the Enforcement Union for the Cold Prince . She has merits .
The Shepherd read the sentence, acting as if he was having a conversation with them . He even bowed sincerely at the words .
“I’m willing to serve, but is it really necessary for me to do so for only a Blue Deacon? Where are the stupider, younger Extraditors?” the Shepherd asked .
The Cold Prince is in need of manpower . I’ve already sent out many of the Extraditors to retrieve capable disciples . The situation Blue Deacon Eagle Eye is in isn’t as simple as you imagine . The Enforcement Union might be keeping an eye on her still… appeared on the ground .
“I see . You want me to conveniently take out the pests tailing her, too . Hopefully, the Enforcement Union will send out someone capable . Otherwise, killing them is easier than killing sheep… which is why I would rather tend the sheep now,” the Shepherd replied .
There was no further response, since the Shepherd understood his mission .
The Shepherd blew a heavy whistle . The sheep scattered across the place immediately gathered to the Shepherd…
They seemed to be hurrying; not because they were well-trained, but because something terrible would happen to them if they were late…
“Let’s go . I bet you all are tired of eating grass, too! Time to change it up…” the Shepherd told them .

Nanping City…
A bus arrived from Mount Wuyi in the city . Cheng Ying, wearing a light blue sweatshirt, came down from the bus .
Behind her was an old man with a walking stick . He was a little scared when he was taking the stairs down the bus . Cheng Ying had a gentle smile and reached her hand out to help the old man .
The old man expressed his gratitude . He even gave Cheng Ying a mandarin peach and said, “Take it, it’s very sweet, I planted it myself!”
Cheng Ying took the mandarin and headed to the other side of the bus stop . She seemed to be switching to another bus here . She threw the mandarin into a bin she walked past with a disgusted face .
She hated pretending to be a friendly person . It felt as if she was stained by a disgusting thing, yet she had no choice but to wear the disguise as an authority of the Enforcement Union .
She took a deep breath . She could already smell freedom . She no longer had to wear a mask after today . She no longer had to drape a filthy human skin over her shoulders . She could just be herself; she could torture others and herself as she wished!
There was a bus parked in the corner of the bus station . It was a coach, heading to a different city .
Cheng Ying sat down in the last row . There were a few passengers on the coach . In front of her was a man wearing a gray hat and an outfit common in the northwest . His legs were on the seats in front of him as he leaned against the chair . His face was covered by the hat, fast asleep .
Members of the Black Vatican did not like meeting in suburban areas; it was unwise to do so . The Enforcement Union would never find them as long as they blended into the crowd and society .
“Blue Deacon Eagle Eye?” the man sleeping on the seat in front other spoke up . He did not purposely lower his voice .
Chen Ying was startled . She initially thought she would meet the Extraditor at her destination . She was surprised to see the Extraditor here on the coach .
“I am,” Cheng Ying knew that only someone from the Black Vatican would know her title .
“I am the Shepherd . ”
“It’s you… Did the Chief Extraditor send you to me!?” Cheng Ying was overjoyed .
The Shepherd was famous among the Extraditors . It was a great honor for anyone in the Black Vatican to be extradited by him . She believed she had done a great job helping the Cold Prince take out the Elder of the Enforcement Union . She might be promoted to a Great Deacon after returning to the Black Vatican, and even become the right arm of a Red Cardinal!
“You are clearly not worthy enough to be extradited by me . I believe the Chief Extraditor has sent me here to make sure the Enforcement Union doesn’t mess with their plan… Master Cold Prince is up to something huge this time, I can feel it! The smile he had was wider than the one he had during the bloodbath of the Mediterranean Sea . I feel bad for China; they first lost their pride as a nation against Salan, and now, they will be trampled by Master Cold Prince again!” the Shepherd replied .
“I’m willing to take part! Mr . Shepherd, please extradite me, I will not let you down!” Cheng Ying said .
“There’s no rush; let’s see how many of the Enforcement Union are on your trail,” the Shepherd said .
“On my trail? That’s impossible . I used a perfect chess piece I had prepared as a decoy . There’s no way they will suspect me . I don’t think anyone is following me, either,” Cheng Ying said confidently .
“Is that so?” The Shepherd smiled and fell silent .
Cheng Ying was aware of the Shepherd’s capabilities . She remained quiet, too .
The coach soon left the city and went off on the highway…
——
The highway from Nanping to Jiangxi was along ridges and mountains with a meandering path . The highway either went along the middle of mountains or crossed tall bridges between two mountains and drove through tunnels through the huge mountains . The coach would drive from one mountain to another, so the journey was framed by never-ending mountains and faint mists…
“Here will do,” the Shepherd stated .
“What do you mean?” Cheng Ying was confused .
“So you’re an unqualified Blue Deacon? You should know what you’re supposed to do, a simple way to find out if anyone is on your trail,” the Shepherd said .
“You’re asking me to…” Cheng Ying soon realized what he was referring to…
