Infiltration, Part I
Several days had passed since Hua Xue infiltrated the Burning Hands Sect. She had stolen the identity of an Outer Court Disciple. Gathering intelligence would have been easier if she’d stolen an Inner Court Disciple’s identity, but they were all well-known individuals. It would have been impossible to pretend she was one of them.
The girl whose identity she had stolen was not only relatively new but had no friends to speak of. She had carefully observed the girl before replacing her. Not only was she friendless, but she didn’t have any family. Nobody knew who she was, and so nobody would bat an eye if she suddenly disappeared.
Hua Xue felt bad for the girl, so she had left her alive. The one known as Xing Hua was currently frozen inside of her room. The ice had stopped all of her bodily functioned and would keep her alive for several months if need be.
