13 Born to Kill XIII

*Thud* She descended from the sky and throw the Third Elder onto the ground.

*Cough, cough… cough*

"Zi… Zi Zi, you- when did you become a Holy Child?"

"…"

The Third Elder asked as he looked up at her but he only received a pair of cold eyes in response.

"Hold on, the poison…" when he saw her taking her long sword back, he cried out.

"… It's solved," she answered nonchalantly as she raised her sword.

'It's solved?'

"Not that poison, there's…"

"The Red Hell Soul Poison that you fed me, yup, it is solved too," she said. The first poison they were talking about was the Red Night Poison which was given to the new members of the Red Nigh Palace but once an assassin became a member of the inner circle of the palace, they will be given the complete antidote of that poison to show sincerity. However, the Third Elder had fed her a more dreadful poison after she had become an inner member; though, it had been solved later by her master after getting all the needed mystic medicinal herbs.

"How did you…"

"A little cat told me how..." she replied instantly before slashing her sword down.

"Zi Zi!" the Third Elder screamed.

"By the way," she stopped the sword a couple of centimetres away from his neck, "you should be thankful it is me who is killing you…"

"…"

"I really wonder… what the Emperor of Shang will do once he finds out the Red Night Palace didn't exterminate the bloodline of the Xia Family completely…"

"…"

"I'm Xia Feng Zi, the only conceived daughter of the Minister of Justice, Xia Xin Zi…'

"You are… but how…" his aged pale face seemed to have grown older as he uttered.

"Ara, do you think my father didn't know?

"Though the Red Night Palace's people did indeed catch him by surprise as you attacked earlier than his predictions, he still was able to pull out something in the hopes of keeping the youngest children of the family safe.

"What do you say, do you think that at least one of my brothers that swept places with servants like me is still alive?

"If it is so, will he seek revenge on the Emperor?" she smirked as she questioned him.
