Chapter 101 - 101. Bride Selection III (1/2)

Third person POV

The day passes by with Hong er finally could walk straight without dropping a cup in her third try even though her body posture was still stiff and unnatural. Hong er went to her room and sighed, these kind of things were more tiring for Hong er than her training. ( She means by the pressure of being fake.)

She changed into her nightgown and laid on her bed with her mask on. She had to be cautious all the time especially when she was in enemy's nest. She slowly closes her eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Meiyun and Huayun stood outside of the room with their head nodding off. Two black clothed men slowly crept up from their hiding place. They nodded their head to each other when they saw the guard around Hong er's room lowered.

They cautiously walked towards the window and saw Hong er was sleeping peacefully with her mask on. They stretched out their hand to open her mask but before their hand could touch the mask, Ah Tong and Ah Xi suddenly appeared behind them and slashed off their head. Before blood could spurt out from their neck, their whole body was wrapped in black fabric and tightly tied with a black rope.

Hong er slowly rise up and looked at Ah Tong and Ah Xi carrying the death bodies like a sack of potatoes. Hong er made a few hand signals to them.

Hong er: [ Dispose them and disguise your face and your appearance. Go to their master and report to me.]

They nodded their head and disappeared. After a few second of silent, three rhythm gentle knocks sounded out from her door. It were codes that only Hong er's trusted people knew, these three knocks meant ' Are you okay?' Hong er lowly hummed and went back to sleep after she closes the window.

Ah Tong and Ah Xi disguised their face with dough to make a face mask and make-up. They had looked at the secret agents' face, took their belongings from their body, and checked their element magic by placing a drop of their blood on the magic tool that Bai Huiqing just created before disposing the bodies. After they had got rid every evidence, they looked at the two badges that they found on the death bodies and instantly knew who their master was.

They disappeared and went to Long Quan's study room. They were stopped by the guards and they indifferently showed the badges that they stole. The guard nodded their head in approvement after they saw the badges. Ah Tong and Ah Xi entered the study room and saw dozens of black clothed men standing on the side and a man in golden robe sitting on top of the golden throne. They walked towards Long Quan and stopped 5 meter away from him, they kneeled on one knee and cupped their fist.

Long Quan: ” What her face look like?”

Ah Tong: ” Replying to Your Majesty. Miss Xu's face is beautiful but it can't be called the most beautiful. She certainly have some similarities to Great General Xu and Madam Xu.”

Long Quan: ” And?”

Ah Tong: ” Before we could take another look, Miss Xu's bodyguards noticed us so we retreated.”

Long Quan: ” Hhmm, how strong are her bodyguards?”

Ah Tong: ” Quite strong but we can handle them.”

Long Quan: ” No need. That Xu Tingfeng and his daughter will be suspicious. Dismissed.”

Ah Tong & Ah Xi: ” Yes, Your Majesty.”

Ah Tong and Ah Xi stands up and all of the black clothed men including both of them walked out from Long Quan's study room. Ah Tong and Ah Xi didn't know the personality of the secret agents' that they killed so they were quite perplexed. Then they saw someone familiar walked past them, they quietly went behind him and slowly approach him.

The man noticed their weird movement and his hands were ready to summon his weapon until he felt someone was drawing a tiny goose and tapped a few code morse on his lower back with their finger. He immediately knew who they were, he slowly moved his hand to his back and his finger pointed to the south without looking back.

Ah Tong and Ah Xi walked away naturally without replying to the man. They went to a secluded inn that named Nan Gong that located in western part of the capital.( Nan= south) It was one of Xu famliy's hiding place. They showed their personal badge to the old man that sat behind the counter, the old man was skinny and shaking like a sickly person that's why there was no customer as they were afraid that he had any contagious illness. The old man's face immediately changed and slowly stands up, he moved his chair away and tapped a few code morse before the wooden floor slides open, revealing the second layer that was an iron door and the third layer that was a magic barrier. Ah Tong and Ah Xi bowed to the old man and entered the magic barrier effortlessly.

This magic barrier was created by Bai Huiqing and only the people that had the badge could enter. They went to the bas.e.m.e.nt and saw a few fellow elite forces teammate sat at one of the wooden table while discussing something. Ah Tong and Ah Xi sat somewhere else as they didn't want to disturb their discussion. Not long after, the man that they met at the palace showed up.

Ah Jian ( The man): ” Whatcha name?” ( he has an accent and idk what his accent is. Just want to make him more unique.)

Ah Jian sat across them and looked at them with probing eyes. Ah Tong and Ah Xi took off their face mask and bowed to Ah Jian.

Ah Tong: ” Greeting to Senior Jian. My name is Ah Tong.”
