"Eavesdropping is not good, you know," Ye Jiao said to the two of them. They were located quite far from Wei Liao, so the boy shouldn"t be able to see and hear them anymore.Lu Wan pointed to Wei Liao. "Did you have just revealed your ident.i.ty to that boy?"
"Yeah."
"Don"t just yeah me! You"re going to give our master another reason to drill us!" Lu Wan rolled his eyes. He felt like hitting the young girl"s head for being so thoughtless.
"Ah, now that you mention it, I recall there"s someone who leak out our presence to Master before."
"Oh, that"s right. I haven"t had my payback from that time."
Lu Wan felt a sudden sense of crisis when he saw the two of them looking at him with an annoyed gaze. It was apparent that they wanted to beat him up because he leaked their destination to their master.
"Um… I"m sorry."
"I don"t hear you."
"Let"s beat him up, Jiao"er."
"Wait!!! Akh! Help meeeeeee!"
In the end, Lu Wan suffered a lot of beatings before they could depart. He wanted to cry when he saw his pig-like face thanks to his junior sister and senior brother. His handsome face is ruined!
"Come on, it"ll heal before we reach the headquarters," Qi Huan sighed. He shook his head without the slightest bit of regret. Beating up Lu Wan felt really good because this young man had caused him to suffer for a day.
"Can you say that if you"re the one who turns ugly?!"
Ye Jiao giggled. "You should remember to not leak out our location to Master, Senior Brother Lu."
Lu Wan"s face darkened. "… I should just poison you two with deadly poison."
"I dare you to do it."
"If you can bear the consequences, you can try it."
Seeing that the two of them still responded calmly, Lu Wan swore to himself that he would become the greatest poison master in the entire world. At that time, he would show to the two of them that they should never underestimate his poison.
"By the way, Junior Sister Ye Jiao, are you actually helping Wei Liao before?" Qi Huan changed the conversation back to the matter.
"No, I"m not."
"Are you still feeling bad because of what happened to him? If it"s me, I"ll want him to suffer even more because what he did is unforgivable," Lu Wan showed a dark and evil smile. It was very different from his easy going att.i.tude and carefree plus ignorance expression he always had in his face.
"I never know that Senior Brother Lu can make this kind of expression."
"I see. Even an ignorant lamb can be a cunning wolf too."
"Why are you always comparing me to animals?!"
The three of them bantered on their way as they just said whatever they wanted to say. At times, they would attack Ye Jiao, at other times it was Qi Huan, but the one who got the brunt the most was without a doubt, Lu Wan. Somehow, it was far easier to strike Lu Wan with some remarks than the other two, which might be because of his action every single day.
After days of traveling, they arrived in Bao Fu Organization that was located in the south of Chen Kingdom.
"I can"t believe you two feel nothing when traveling this distance," Lu Wan frowned when he saw how Ye Jiao and Qi Huan were fine. He was already slightly out of breath by the time they arrived.
"We already travel hundreds of kilometers because of missions for the past 7 months. Unlike you who stay in your residence, we"re very busy," Qi Huan walked into the hall and lined up.
Lu Wan"s face darkened. "It"s not my fault that they want to ground me because I refuse to say the oath. I truly prefer to give my oath to someone else rather than the imperial family."
Recalling what had happened during the hunt and how the imperial family always coerced people to follow after their demands, he just felt bad taste when thinking about them. Rather than pledging his loyalty to them, he would be better off saying his loyalty to someone else.
"I thought you have given your loyalty to your family."
"I intend to do so, but my father stopped me in the past," Lu Wan shrugged. It was his intention back then, but because his father stopped him, he never tried to anymore.
"Huh? I thought he"ll be happy if you do that."
"I don"t know either."
Ye Jiao approached the counter because the two were busy talking and it was already their turn. "We"re here to accept the mission given by our master."
The man glanced at the three of them "Your name and badge?"
"Ai Jiao."
"Yu Shui."
"Shan Dian."
The three of them gave their name and badge. In the next second, the man was stunned when he read the details of the mission for these three. "Here"s your mission. If you can finish it, you will get 60 points altogether. The time limit is 3 months, good luck."
60 points?
Hearing the large amount of points, the three of them have a bad feeling. They knew that the harder the mission, the more points they could get. Even though the prize was tempting, their heart could not stay calm. They opened the scroll detailing their mission as they moved away from the counter.
Reading the details, they felt like bas.h.i.+ng their master right here, right now.
If it is possible.
Target: A City Governor (Eon Energy Master rank 3)
The target itself was not really a problem because their master had told them that they would face against someone at rank 3. However, the note at the bottom just caused their heart to fall into a deep pond of water.
Note: There are already 6 groups dispatched with none of them returned back. Based on the information they sent before their death, the governor has several guards with the strength of Eon Energy Master rank 2 and thousands of Eon Energy Master rank 1.
"Thousands...."
"Why did I pick him as my master back then?" Lu Wan really wanted to cry. "He"s so heartless."
"They"re all just cannon fodder," Qi Huan said calmly. Still his twitching lips betrayed his real feeling. It was apparent that fighting against a thousand people was not easy. They were different than scattered beasts that could be dealt one by one.
Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. "Let"s head to the market for a while before departing. There"s something I want to buy."
"Ah, me too."
"Ok."
The three of them rolled the scroll back and Qi Huan kept it inside his storage bracelet. In the market, Ye Jiao directly headed to buy some makeup while Qi Huan bought wigs.
"Why do you buy wigs? You can just color your hair differently," Lu Wan asked in confusion.
Qi Huan smiled. "It"s better to be prepared."
Ye Jiao also looked at the wig with confusion. If these two wanted to pretend to be a woman, it would be easy. Their hairs were long, so they only need a little bit of tampering to make it look feminine.
Though, she was sure that she would have a good laugh if she got the chance to see them dressed like a woman.
"Also, why do you have to buy makeup here?"
"I think it"ll be better if I can change my countenance a bit since we"re going to go on a lot of missions in the future," Ye Jiao replied. The other reason was because there were also disguise props in the makeup batch in this city, but she didn"t want to tell this senior brother of hers.
"Bao Fu Organization is not that simple," Qi Huan directed his gaze outside. "It"s better to be cautious."
"Huh?"
Seeing that the two of them looked confused, he just smiled wryly. It seemed a bit too far for the two of them.
"It"s nothing. If there"s nothing else, let"s go."
"Ok."
"Let"s go."
