248 Unspoken Intentions 2 (1/2)
Thinking back on it, Jun Wu Xie's plan was not without its merits. They had killed the delegation from the Qing Yun Clan that had included the daughter of the Qing Yun Clan's Sovereign. If the Qing Yun Clan got wind of it, they would come down hard, raining untold wrath upon the tiny kingdom of Qi.
If they wait till the Qing Yun Clan stirred and commenced their retaliation against Qi, their position would become much more precarious to the dangers that lay ahead.
The Qing Yun Clan's might laid not only in their disciples, but was greatly amplified by the various powers and countries that stood behind them. If the Qing Yun Clan mobilized everything they could, not even tens of Qi Kingdoms could hope to stand against that mightiest of armies.
”Wu Xie, I know you are a very capable girl. But heading off to the Qing Yun Clan is really too big a risk to take.” Jun Xian sighed, things keep coming at them one after another, and peace never stayed long enough for them to catch their breaths.
”Rest assured Grandfather, I have thought it through. I will not face them head on, and moreover, my teacher will be with me! He will help me through.” Jun Wu Xie had been left with no choice but to bring her made up teacher into the picture which made Jun Xian a little less worried.
”Moreover, there is no way we can avoid them anymore. I'll rather take my chances to strike at them first, without them knowing, than have the Qing Yun Clan find out, and have us persecuted, and we have to run for our lives.”
”Wu Xie, this is a grave matter. If anything happens to you, you must not hide it from us.” Jun Qing reminded her, his heart full of unease.
Jun Wu Xie nodded in agreement.
The trip to the Qing Yun Clan, would take a few months at least. It would be impossible for her to disappear for months under the watchful eyes of her grandfather and uncle, hence, she had decided to tell them the truth. Making use of her make believe teacher, Jun Wu Xie had convinced them somewhat.
That afternoon, Jun Wu Xie made her way to the Imperial Palace. Qin Yu Yan who had been left in the Imperial main hall had already slipped into semi consciousness and she had looked utterly terrible, the whites of her eyes showing, and convulsions racked her body.
Bai Yun Xian saw Jun Wu Xie approach and stepped to one side of the hall to get out of the way as she watched the guards drag Qin Yu Yan out of the main hall and a whole bunch of palace maids and eunuchs rushing in to clean up the bloody and gory mess splattered all over the place, without missing a spot.
