25 New plan (1/2)

Bai Yun looked at the pair happily. This had gone exactly as he wished.

”What are your names?” He asked.

”I am Bai Ling-er. This is Bai Shi.”the woman replied. She seemed to be the leader of the duo.

”Before we begin I want to tell you something. If you were to betray me I would definitely be able to find out. And you would definitely not enjoy it.” Bai Yun said coldly.

The moment he said that he exuded his killing intent. The couple both paled, and they felt as if they were being watched by the grim reaper. They felt as if they could lose their lives if they made a single bad choice.

Bai Yun retracted his killing intent. He watched as the looked at him in horror. He smiled

”Take me to the cave. I want to reach there first and refine the plan I have. I will tell you about it on the way.” Bai Yun said.

The couple had recovered by then. They started to walk towards the cave, with Bai Yun following. A sthey walked he explained his plan to them. When they heard the complete plan, they were horrified.

”No way! If we do this we would be in a lot of danger. We can handle that. But we would be the biggest suspects. We would be in trouble with prince Qing for the rest of our lives.” Bai Shi said in a panicked voice.

”Sometimes the most dangerous place is also the safest place. They would suspect you they momentthey saw something going wrong. Unless you took the initiative to be slightly suspicious, and also not fight when you are captured, it will not end well for you. Do not worry, I will make sure that they don't do anything to you. They wont act until Bai Qinq is free, and by then a commotion would definitely be made, and people would gather.” Bai Yun explained.

”But the risk is too much. There are too many variables. Anything can go wrong.”

”There are variables in every plan. What we need to do is to handle them appropriately and make sure that things don't deviate from our plan.”

”But-” Bai Shi started.

”We will do it.” Bai Ling-er replied. ”We are in trouble from the very existence of the plan. But if we see this through we have a slight hope.”

Bai Shi opened his mouth to say something but closed it again when he realized that Bai Ling-er was right. He was dejected. He wasn't one to take unnecessary risk, and the entire plan seemed dangerous to him.

They spend the entire afternoon perfecting the plan, as well as laying preparations for it. As dusk arrived Bai Ling-er took him to the cave and showed him its location. It was in a very difficult location, and the entrance was also too narrow. Unless someone knew that there was a cave at that exact position, it was impossible to find it.

Bai Yun had decided to split from them early on and wait for Bai Qiing. He handed them some items that they would need for their part of the plan. ”Don't lose even a single hair on the items I have left with you. Or else.”

The two of them nodded in acceptance.

”We wont get a chance to talk after this. Where should we meet up after all of this is over?” Bai Yun asked.

”Let us meet up in the clan three days from today. In the clan there is going to be places we can meet up without raising any suspicion.” Bai Shi replied.

”We can't meet up in public. After this Bai Qing is sure to put the two of you on surveillance. If he sees me meeting up with you, then that will not end well for any of us, trust me. And if the two of you were to escape his surveillance, it would make him shift his suspension on you completely.” Bai Yun replied.
