496 Distrus (1/2)

If they had some plans, Han Xuan and Han Fen would sneak into Ha Chilie's tent and kidnapped him to Ming Zhen's bed. After that, Han Fen would use her Delightful Touches to make her mistress faint.

Han Fen was very confident in her occult sciences because she tested it in person and succeed by using it on Dragon King and the Princess. She promised to Han Xuan, saying, ”It'll absolutely be effective.”

Soldiers had been patrolling in the barracks strictly and it was not until the latter half of the night that they gradually lowered their guards. With the death of Tuo Nengya, the commander-in-chief, military discipline was inevitably affected and orders were not fully implemented.

Han Xuan and Han Fen nearly stayed in wait for an hour. Han Fen was willing to wait because she was trained as a killer in the New Moon Hall. She could continue waiting for several hours. However, Han Xuan felt a little anxious and kept quiet because she wanted to compete for tolerance with her partner.

Therefore, when they saw two figures sneaking into Ha Chilie's tent, Han Xuan could not help pouncing on them before muttering in a low voice, ”Don't compete with my mistress.”

Han Fen was stunned. It was the first time that she had seen someone more unruly than herself, so she also followed her.

The two killers lurked around for half an hour and decided to act only after finding nothing strange. They did not realize that there were other people that had been hiding earlier than them.

Han Xuan thought that she couldn't be able to defeat them because her martial arts was much worse than them. She only learned the simplest martial arts of the New Moon Hall since young, not occult sciences. Naturally, she would lose.

Fortunately, Han Fen constantly used all kinds of hidden weapons, preventing them from getting hurt.

Those two men were unwilling to fight them. They waved their sabers to force the two women backward before fleeing. But after taking only several steps, they smelled a strange fragrance. It was too late to escape from it. Instead, they stumbled back.

Han Xuan did not notice anything unusual. She was stubborn and always tried her best to fight even when she was at a disadvantage. She tried her best to land a palm stroke on the nearest killer and sent the man flying. Han Xuan was shocked. Why was this powerful man suddenly this vulnerable?

Han Fen realized that the two killers had been caught by knockout powder, but refused to lag behind because of her child-like competitive mind. She grabbed the other killer with poisonous finger-cot in her five fingers.

With this, Maid Lotus' plan was destroyed.

She made the two men faint with the Indra Fragrance, but the men died before they could get any important information out of them.

”You!” Maid Lotus scolded them in a low voice, her tone unusually severe.

Han Fen was loyal to the Managing Master but was also afraid of her. She could not help flinching. She pointed to Han Xuan and said, ”It's her.”

The patrolling soldiers noticed something strange was going on and quickly came up to them. ”Sweep,” Maid Lotus ordered before entering Ha Chilie's tent.

Sweeping meant that they should get rid of the corpses, but Han Xuan did not understand the order. She began to frown to see Maid Lotus so casually entering Ha Chilie's tent.

Han Fen immediately carried two corpses alone and followed after Han Xuan. Together, they entered the tent.

Ha Chilie was not in bed. He was standing in front of his bed, fully clothed.

When the patrolling soldiers outside left, Maid Lotus said again, ”What are you doing here?” Her tone was not as severe as before, but it was still as cold as usual.

The more aloof Maid Lotus was, the more afraid Han Fen became. She was much older than Maid Lotus, but she was now like a child who had made a mistake. She nervously dragged at her skirt and whispered, ”I... I followed her. She asked me for help. I think since we're friends, I should…”

Han Xuan did not fear the Managing Master and asked suspiciously, ”I asked her to come, and we came to tie... well, protect Ha Chilie. However, Miss, why are you in a man's tent at night?”

Ha Chilie stopped her immediately and said, ”Don't say nonsense. Maid Lotus knows that there'd be assassins tonight and came to protect me personally.”

In order to make this trap credible, Maid Lotus did not even ask the New Moon Hall disciples to follow her. She did not expect this decision to ruin the whole plan.

”She's Maid Lotus. Why are you calling 'Lady'? You never call Miss 'Lady'.” Han Xuan was increasingly suspicious. She did not care that Maid Lotus was the superior martial artist between the two; she just wanted to seek justice for her mistress.

Ha Chilie blushed. Han Xuan did not stop speaking, but this time turned to address Maid Lotus. ”Lady Maid Lotus, you won't have worry about this anymore. I'll protect him so no sly woman would dare approach him again.”

Han Fen held her breath and looked at her new friend in horror. Words failed her.

Despite being humiliated, Maid Lotus did not kill Han Xuan. Instead, her tone became more gentle as she asked, ”You'll protect him?”

”He's my mistress' husband. Of course, I should be the one...”

She could not even finish her sentence because Maid Lotus suddenly used her fingers to lightly flash across her chest. Han Xuan felt as if a large stone was weighing on her chest, preventing her from breathing, let alone speaking.

”Please be merciful!” Ha Chilie shouted. He turned even redder when he realized that Han Xuan appeared fine. He lowered his head and retreated.

Maid Lotus returned to her original spot, but Han Xun was like a drowning person that could not breathe. She became much better after her Internal Breath worked for a while.

Partially due to the suffocation, partially due to the fright, Han Xuan's face was redder than Ha Chilie. ”You...”

”Her martial arts is...” Han Fen was trying to boast about Maid Lotus but immediately closed her mouth when she saw Maid Lotus' eyes.

”You have good martial arts. Why don't you stealing another person's man instead of getting your own?” Though Han Xuan was weaker than Maid Lotus in terms of martial arts, she still had something to say.

”Ha Chilie is your mistress' husband and has nothing to do with me. I don't have any need to steal him.”

Han Fen found it surprising that Maid Lotus was willing to explain herself. She secretly shot Han Xuan a warning glance but Han Xuan continued to ask, ”Really?”
