A month had pa.s.sed but the serial killer behind the ma.s.sacre case still hasn"t been found and the Disciplinary Hall had put up a reward for any information that might lead to the arrest of the killer. The reward was very tempting too, many flocked to the forest in search of any possible clues, but apart from the victim"s blood, the scene was so clean that it was as if it was done by a professional.Meanwhile, the Qian family had already received news about the death of Qian Lee and the imprisonment of Qian Ching.
"No... no how can this be possible?" Xian Lee collapsed onto the ground after she finished reading the letter.
"Which big shot could have he possibly offended?" w.a.n.g Yin asked he didn"t think that his two sons would be dumb enough to go off offending the descendant of some prestigious family.
"I just hope that whoever they offended wouldn"t come and bite the Qian family." One of the elders exclaimed.
The letter was sent by the officials of Thunderbolt Academy, so it didn"t contain the incidents between Xiao Yang and Qian Ching. The Qian family all went into a state of panic, believing that trouble might soon bestow upon their family.
"Qian Fan, you should send a letter to your Qian Fei and ask her what exactly happened to her two brothers." The elder asked.
"Alright." Even though he didn"t like his two nephews, but this matter involves the whole of the Qian family, as well as the safety Qian Fei.
"Patriarch Zhang please you can not go in like this, I must inform the elders first." One of the servants that were guarding the gate suddenly shouted.
Patriarch Zhang stormed into the meeting hall and exclaimed, "I have already received a letter today from my daughter, informing me that Qian Lee had been murdered!"
"Patriarch Zhang please calm down first. Here have some tea." One of the elders tried to consult him.
Patriarch Zhang held out one of his hand and with a serious voice said, "No need, I have come here to inform you that the engagement between my daughter, Yuxi and Qian Lee is over."
"Patriarch even though Qian Lee had past away, he still has his elder brother Qian Ching, who had been in the Thunderbolt Academy for two years. He is a C-Cla.s.s mage now." Before w.a.n.g Yin could finish, Patriarch Zhang suddenly interrupted him, "Tch, who wants some poor waste who is still locked in Thundermare Prison."
Patriarch then straightens his back and proudly proclaimed, "My daughter had already informed me that she is already engaged in a relationship with his highness the Second Prince of Dong-Min Continent, Prince Xia."
The Qian family"s face turned pale and w.a.n.g Yin quickly spoke, "But the engagement between Yuxi and Qian Lee was proposed by the two families" patriarch. Why don"t we wait for our patriarch to return from his trip?"
"Qian Lee is dead and the person engaged with Yuxi is his highness himself, Prince Xia. What can your patriarch possibly do?" Patriarch Zhang exclaimed before he turned and started to leave.
Just before he was about to leave the meeting hall, Xian Lee suddenly shouted, "I know it now, It was all because of that sl*t Zhang Yuxi"s fault. If not how can Qian Lee be murdered and Qian Ching be imprisoned?"
"Tch, watch your mouth, Madam Lee. This is Prince Xia"s woman that you are talking about, one can be easily accused of treason." Patriarch Zhang grinned, he had been longing for the seat as a City Lord of DongHe City, but now, don"t say DongHe City, all neighbouring city can be easily taken under his control.
"And also don"t frame the innocent, my Yuxi has nothing to do with this. She told me that Xiao Yang was behind the murder of Qian Lee and the imprisonment of Qian Ching." Patriarch Zhang then left the manor.
The Qian families face all turned grim, Xian Lee murmured to herself, "Xiao Yang...? Ahhhhhh!"
...
"This is Dong Zhou... Dong Zhou this is Fang Qiong and Qian Fei." Xiao Yang introduced them to each other.
Dong Zhou with a hand-fan on his hand, clutched together in a respecting gesture and slightly bowed down, "It"s my honour to be able to meet Brother Chen"s good friends."
"Uh? Oh, it"s our honour to meet you too. Dong..." Qian Fei blushed, unable to figure how to address him properly.
"If you don"t mind you could call me Brother Zhou."
"Oh... Alright, Brother Zhou." Qian Fei"s face turned slightly pink.
"Since today is the weekend and if everyone doesn"t have anything to do today, how about I invite everyone for some Dim Sum?" Dong Zhou proposed.
Xiao Yang looked at each other then nodded, "Alright."
Not long after the four of them went into an expensive dim sum restaurant. They managed to get the second-floor seat that overlooked the first floor.
They ordered a few selections and started chatting with each other.
"Brother Zhou, can I ask how did the two of you meet each other?" Qian Fei shyly asked.
"It was that time when I encountered an Cla.s.s beast in the Thunderbolt Forest, it was thanks to Brother Chen that I am still alive today." Dong Zhou held up his cup to toast Xiao Yang.
-Bang!
On the first floor, seven powerful mages dressed in military armor, one of them kicked an entire table upside down, knocking all of the foods onto the floor.
"Everyone line up now!" One of the mages shouted who seem to be their commander. He was an S-Cla.s.s mage and all six of his subordinates were all Cla.s.s.
