Path Of The Lilies

Qi Huan looked at Ye Jiao as if to ask her to make up a reason on the spot.

"Well, Master might still punish us if we"re not quick enough," Ye Jiao shrugged, making up a reason to urge her senior brother. "Did you forget our first group mission?"

Recalling how their master actually wished for them to finish the mission quickly back then, Lu Wan groaned. The painful training that came afterwards was something that he wished to forget. If they had to undergo another training like that, it would be the end of him.

"Then, what are you waiting for? Let"s go!"

As Lu Wan immediately utilized his Eon Energy and departed, Ye Jiao sighed in relief. Thankfully, she was quick enough to think of a reason to dupe that slightly idiot senior brother of hers. She turned her head to look at Qi Huan. "Is there anything special about that compet.i.tion in Bao Fu Organization?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Master"s reaction didn"t seem to be normal." Ye Jiao"s eyes flashed with doubt. She had seen how Zhan Jing seemed to be bothered with that compet.i.tion. Even though she was not totally sure why, she could guess that there must be something wrong with that compet.i.tion.

Qi Huan nodded. His junior sister is far sharper than a certain idiot. "Yes, there"s something special about this compet.i.tion."

"And that is?"

"There"s no clear news about it, but from the secret information I have gathered, it seems that there will be representatives of Bao Fu Organization from outside the Four Kingdoms that will come here. And those representatives are at least as strong as Master."

Ye Jiao"s pupil contracted when she heard their strength. In the Four Kingdoms, those at rank 4 were extremely rare. However, this was not the case for those large and powerful kingdoms out there.

Did their Master wish for them to not stay here because the representative would be someone that Zhan Jing knew?

Qi Huan looked at Ye Jiao. Actually, there was another piece of news that he found, but he was not totally sure about that. There was no confirmation whether it was true or not, and he hadn"t had the chance to find out more. Besides, what he thought inside his head was still nothing more than a conjecture.

"Let"s ask Master after our mission."

"Yeah." Qi Huan was not sure that they would be able to finish the mission so quickly, but they should do their best. The difficulties for the mission were a bit insane as they wouldn"t be able to contend against numerous Eon Energy Master Rank 3. Their own Eon Energy would deplete first.

That was with considering how those people fought back.

The two of them utilized their Eon Energy and soon caught up with Lu Wan. After a bit of urging and help, they managed to arrive in Chen Kingdom Capital City faster. Of course, Lu Wan was exhausted because of the journey.

"You"re going to kill me if we have to travel that fast on our way back," Lu Wan said with a grieving tone.

He was already dying because of them!

"It"s not that bad," Ye Jiao laughed. "Besides, it"s good training for you, Senior Brother Yu."

"Good training…." Lu Wan rolled his eyes at the phrase. If that was considered as good training, then what about the training that they had received so far?

The three of them sneaked into the city using their acting. Even though both Lu Wan and Qi Huan disguised themselves, they could see that the guards seemed to be tenser than normal times. It was as if they were waiting for someone to come.

"Do you think they"re still searching for you, Yu Shui?" Ye Jiao purposely used Lu Wan"s second name. She knew that it wouldn"t end well if someone uttered the name "Lu Wan" in this place. A lot of people were searching for that young man.

Lu Wan frowned. "They shouldn"t be, right?"

"Are you sure?"

"Not really."

Qi Huan shook his head. If they truly searched for Lu Wan, it just meant that the kingdom treasured Lu Wan much more than what he thought. Of course, the degree of that might be different from one person to another because not everyone knew the real story of Lu Wan"s relations.h.i.+p with the imperial family.

"The one they look for is a young boy," Ye Jiao flicked her glance to Lu Wan. "Who else would it be if it"s not you, Senior Brother Yu?"

"There might be another person that escaped."

"…" no one would be foolish enough to escape from the imperial family when they didn"t have enough power like you.

Ye Jiao shook her head. She pointed to the nearby inn. "Let"s start gathering information. I"m sure that minister is pretty famous."

"You"re from Chen Kingdom yourself, don"t you?"

"Did you forget my position?"

Recalling how Ye Jiao spent most of her time hiding, Lu Wan decided to not think too much anymore. He knew that it would be impossible for this little girl to try searching for information when she was trying not to stand out too much. In this place, she barely did anything other than following after him.

Qi Huan rubbed his forehead as he thought how these two had to be extra careful. The two of them were chased by some people in this city. If they were not careful enough, they would be captured and that would be the end of their lives.

"Master, why do you even send us back here?"

Thinking of the scroll in his Spatial Ring, Qi Huan"s mind was filled with doubt. Their master wouldn"t want them to die in this place, right? However, if they had to do their mission while staying undercover like this, it wouldn"t be easy at all.

Their vigilance has to be increased to another level.
