179 Please Teach Him a Lesson for Me!

Hearing Kong Ling Jue's words, the other elders face become pale. Even, the Sect Master who's always calm has to admit that what Kong Ling Jue said was right, there was no other option.

Basically, they were made to choose between making an enemy out of Feng Ao Xiu, the Ancient Sky Realm or Chang Jian, the Number One Assassin.

By simple mathematic, it's better to help Feng Ao Xiu who was a level ahead of Chang Jian in Ancient Earth Realm. However, what's scary about Chang Jian was his background, not as the Number One Assassin, but the fact that he was dispatched by a powerful group from the Great You Empire.

Silver Hands Owl and this particular group have been in contact with each other for quite some time. They were one of Silver Hands Owl's biggest client, they make quite some money from it. In short, the Silver Hands Owl were to do the bidding for them in Xiang Lan Nation.

If there's one thing that the Silver Hands Owl know, they would never ever defy them, not because they would lose money, but because they could never win against them.

The Sect Master himself knows this, he was pressured to the point that he bit his lip so hard that blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"What's the situation on Feng Ao Xiu?" asked the Sect Master.

"We're under his suspicion, but still safe," said Kong Ling Jue. "He must be investigating to find Chang Jian. But, once we're caught to be friends with Chang Jian, there's no telling what he might do to us."

"That's weird..." said the Sect Master.

"What is it, Sect Master? Do you find something wrong?" asked the Elder beside him.

"Feng Ao Xiu... I get if he's suspicious of us and trying to infiltrate us and see our connection. But, did you really think he does not know that we're keeping Chang Jian? And, Does Feng Ao Xiu really did not know Chang Jian's exact location?"

"But... If it truly as Sect Master has said, won't Feng Ao Xiu already strike and annihilate us together with Chang Jian?"

The Sect Master knows what that Elder said was right, but he still has his suspicion. If he accepted everything his underling said, he would not be the Sect Master.

"I still need more information on Feng Ao Xiu" As the Sect Master fixed his gaze on Kong Ling Jue, he said, "Tell me, how did you meet him..."

Instead of replying, Kong Ling Jue just glanced at Tu Jiun.

Tu Jiun, who received the signal, quickly stood up from his seat. "In that case, let me explain everything..."

So, Tu Jiun tells everything on how he met Feng Ao Xiu who disguised himself as Fei Bao Xing. Also to the detail on how he took the test with group Chang Miao.

"Wait... Why the trouble to take the test?" asked the Sect Master. "I get it if it was not to reveal himself. But, he even calls Kong Ling Jue and intentionally reveal himself to let him resolve it instead of just killing Tu Jiun..."

The other Elder, "..."

As the Sect Master pointing out the anomaly in the story, the other Elder was bewildered and did not know what to say. Even Kong Ling Jue who was involved directly became stunned as he could not have realised it by himself.

"Tu Jiun..." said the Sect Master.

"Yes, Sect Master!" Tu Jiun prepped himself up like a soldier.

"In a way, you are Feng Ao Xiu's mentor... So, go and ask him."

Tu Jiun wants to cry. There was no way he could be prepared to meet with Feng Ao Xiu. But, the Sect Master pointed out that he was the Head of Recruitment. And as the one who was in charge of Feng Ao Xiu, he's the one who should go.

[What Mentor?! I don't even have the qualification for Feng Ao Xiu to be my mentor. And, you want me to be his!!]

However, there's no way for Tu Jiun to refuse, "Yes, Sec Master. But, ask him about what?"

"Chang Jian! What else?"

***

"Fei Bao Xing, what was that?" Baldy asked.

"Tell us! Tell us!"

Fei Bao Xing could only smile and ignoring to answer their questions.

After they got back into the dorm.

"Fei Bao Xing, what was that about? Are you friends with Elder Kong Ling Jue?" asked Chang Miao with her eyes were glaring at him.

"I'm not." Fei Bao Xing said.

"Then, why is he so respectful towards you?" said Chang Miao. "Don't try to hide it from me!"

Fei Bao Xing was pressured. Unlike usual, Chang Miao has never been this forceful before. It made him wonder if she has an enmity towards Kong Ling Jue?.

"I swear, I'm not!" said Fei Bao Xing. "We do have some circumstances, but we're really not that close."

"You..." Chang Miao was furious at Fei Bao Xing not explaining everything.

"Please, calm down." Guan Ru Na holds Chang Miao from behind. "I'm sure Fei Bao Xing got his reason."

"Hmmph!" Chang Miao finally turned around and left followed by Guan Ru Na.

Chang Miao has never been this angry before. At first, she tolerates how Fei Bao Xing hides everything about him, but this time it was concerning him, the one who made her life a mess. There's just no way to tolerate this. Sooner or later she must find out the truth from Fei Bao Xing.

"Hi, Young Master Fe... I mean... Lovely Fei Bao Xing..." suddenly Tu Jiun approached him. His gesture may be nice and clean, but it could be seen that his smile was forced and a hint of fear was lingering within.

"Ah, Elder, you're back. Good timing!" said Fei Bao Xing. Now that the Elder Tu Jiun was here and with him knowing that Fei Bao Xing was actually Feng Ao Xiu, after being told by Kong Ling Jue. He finally could go home.

"Haha... There's no need to call me Elder... Just call me Little Jiun, okay?"

"Umm... I'm gonna stick with Elder, after all." Fei Bao Xing's eyes twitched. Elder Tu Jiun may already know his identity, but he did not realise he would be such a boot licker.

"Ummm... Can I ask you something?" asked Tu Jiun.

"Sure, what is it?"

"It's about the man (Chang Jian) who put you in this situation?"

[The man who put me in this situation?] Fei Bao Xing thinks to himself. [Oh! He must be talking about Qian Hui. That's right, he was the one who put me through all this mess!]

"Him... What about him (Qian Hui)?" Fei Bao Xing's face became dark. His intonation was slightly a lower, inadvertently giving Tu Jiun more fear.

[Eeekkk... Feng Ao Xiu becomes angry the moment I mentioned Chang Jian.] Tu Jiun was scared, but he braced himself up to ask another question. "Do... Do you know where he (Chang Jian) is?"

"Oh, I know where he (Qian Hui) is. I'm going there soon! As soon I find him (Qian Hui), I'm going to kill him (Qian Hui)!" he said.

[What the hell! Sect Master is right. Feng Ao Xiu already knows where Chang Jian is. But, then why is he doing all this infiltration for?] Tu Jiun was sweating hard, as he asked another question. "Why all this trouble (infiltration) just for him (Chang Jian)? There's no need to do so."

[Why is Elder asking me for a request? Ah, now that I think about it those guys mistook Qian Hui as a guy named Yu Liang, who's part of the Silver Hands Owl. And, Elder Tu Jiun must be asking for forgiveness from me after seeing me so angry at him.] Fei Bao Xing sighed. [Even if I want to, I can't do anything to him with my power. But, Elder must have mistaken me for wanting to kill his subordinate. Actually, I can use this situation for revenge against Qian Hui!]

"I cannot let him (Qian Hui) go that easily. Elder, please teach him (Qian Hui) a lesson for me!"

"Ehhh..."

"He (Qian Hui) is part of the Silver Hands Owl, right?" said Fei Bao Xing.

[Sh*t!! Feng Ao Xiu knows! He knows that Chang Jian is under our protection! He's making a threat! That's why he's doing this infiltration!] Tu Jiun reluctantly replied. "Don't worry... We'll take care of him (Chang Jian)."

Fei Bao Xing nodded knowing that Elder Tu Jiun will teach Qian Hui a lesson.

"Well then, Elder. I'll be leaving (get out of here) soon," said Fei Bao Xing.

"Eh... You're leaving (not helping us)?" Tu Jiun realised how wrong he was to question, he immediately said. "Don't worry. You can leave it to us!"

As he said that, Tu Jiun immediately left to report his finding to Sect Master and the rest of the Elder.

"All right, it's time to go home!" Fei Bao Xing said to himself was a satisfied smile. Now that he already reported, he finally could leave all of this and return to the Feng Clan where it's safer.

"Are you leaving?" someone asked from behind him.

"Yeah, I have nothing else to... Whoa!"

Feng Ao Xiu nonchalantly replied, but he suddenly hugged by Guan Ru Yi.

"No, don't go!" Guan Ru Yi said with tears flowing from the corner of his eyes.

"Guan Ru Yi..."

Guan Ru Yi slowly released Fei Bao Xing from her clutch.

Fei Bao Xing noticed that her expression was different from usual. It was somewhat more mature and also composed.

She suddenly gets down on her knees and quickly bowed down with her forehead touched the floor.

"This lowly woman begs the Second Young Master of the Feng Clan, Feng Ao Xiu. Young Master Feng, you're the only one who can help us exact our revenge. Please help Young Lady Min!"
