795 Undercover
The disguise wasn’t difficult for Feng Wu at all.
The difficulty lay in the fact that she didn’t have much time — a few minutes at most.
As expected, someone called from inside the temple. “Five? Five!”
By then, Feng Wu had already put on Five’s clothes. She picked up the cured meat and only headed back after straightening her new outfit.
Luckily, everyone wore masks, which made it more difficult for them to see through her cover.
But it didn’t change the fact that it was dangerous.
Feng Wu walked in to find the team leader making noodles and Two working on the stove.
This wasn’t what she pictured a team of hitmen to look like.
Seeing “Five” come back, the team leader took over the meat from “him,” cut it into thin slices with his sword, then tossed the slices into the pot.
“Don’t just stand around. We’re low on water. Go fetch some snow.”
“Sure.” Feng Wu happily did as told.
The team leader and Two started a conversation as Feng Wu melted some snow in a bowl.
The team leader said, “This Feng Wu is an interesting case, I’ll give her that. She was actually able to evade us for three days.”
If the team leader was the head of the team, then Two was the brain. a.n.a.lysing was his specialty.
As he worked on the fire, Two said, “Feng Wu is an incredible girl. Most of the rumors out there belittle her and call her a good-for-nothing, but they have no idea how level-headed she really is. She’s been able to tolerate all the slander.”
The team leader frowned. “Is she that good?”
Two nodded. “Judging by the traces she left behind, she’s at least a Spiritual Grandmaster.”
The team leader agreed. “An intermediate one, at least.”
Two said, “She’s really an impressive girl. She’ll be a real threat to the Zuo family if they don’t intervene.”
The team leader smirked. “Too bad for her, the Zuo family found out and want her dead.”
–
Feng Wu didn’t hear the rest of the conversation. All she could think of was that last sentence.
The Zuo family had found out and they wanted her dead.
She had taken all possible precautions, but the Zuo family had still found out. Moreover, they had sent a team of hitmen after her.
The Zuo family!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu tried her best not to let her emotions show.
Two said, “Captain, we should be even more careful from now on. One slip and we may blow the whole thing.”
“As impressive as this Feng Wu might be, she’s an intermediate Spiritual Grandmaster at most. And we’re still hot on the heels of this smart girl, aren’t we?” The team leader smirked. “Any one of us can take her out by ourselves. There’s no need to worry.”
Two shook his head. “It’s not that simple.”
The team leader grinned. “Ten’s out searching for her, isn’t he? I bet he’ll come back with Feng Wu’s head on a plate.”
He then darted a glance at Feng Wu over his shoulder. “What’s taking you so long? All you need to do is melt some snow. Five, keep working like a sluggard and Ten will replace you in no time.”
Feng Wu was speechless.
The team leader waved his hand impatiently. “I wouldn’t worry about you so much if you were half as capable as Ten. You know what? Stop what you’re doing. Go fetch Ten.”
“Alright…” Feng Wu headed out.
She had been looking for an opportunity to get to Ten, and it just fell into her lap. What great timing.
Feng Wu was well aware that as a scout, Ten had a special ability to track things. It was because of him that she couldn’t throw these people off her trail.
Destroy the leader and the gang would collapse. At the moment, Ten was that “leader”!
