Elves were divided into two parts, Life Elves and Dark Elves. Life Elves are good at alchemy and also good at taking care of Pet beasts while Dark Elves were good at training Pet beasts and also good creating debuff items. So Ethan gave all the pet beasts to Dark Elves to train them.
System would provide them a random dungeon environment where Dark Elves can train them by fighting the opponents created by the system at random, These Opponents are at higher level and many skills.
Dark Elves train the pet to fight in different ways and also trains them to handle different situations. They help them learn to fight in groups and also fight solo towards a group opponent. Since there was no real death the pets face death situations more often, due to this they become more sensitive towards oncoming danger.
The time flow in the training dungeon of the Subspace is 1 hour in reality is 1 day inside. Now it is 11 o'clock in the morning and the pets can be trained till 7 o'clock next day morning that would 20 hours or 20 days.

The National Scholar Plate of the Great Luo…
He thought over and over and only one of his old friends could have such a thing. And naturally, that person was—Qin Wushuang.
This super genius that caused the people of the entire Bai Yue Country to yearn day and night and to experience the extremes of happiness and sadness.
Outside the Xi Men Feudal Lord mansion, that captain was getting somewhat restless after waiting for a long time. However, he knew that he must restrain his anger. He reminded himself that he was at the Xi Men Feudal Lord mansion, and not some other place. It would not permitted for him to unleash his temper.
While he walked back and forth, a figure rushed out from the mansion. This person was dressed in magnificent clothing and had an impressive appearance. A few of his trusted personal guards followed him as they tried to catch up.
This person had purple whiskers and a heavenly body that revealed an extraordinary temperament. Initially, that door guard was dozing off when he walked off. As soon as he saw this person, his entire body trembled as he hurried to stand very straight.
 "Mr. Feudal Lord."

Xi Men Yu gave a cold sneer and glanced at that door guard: "Is this how you are guarding the door for the Xi Men family? Hurry and pack your things and get lost!"

That door guard was shocked: "Feu..Feudal Lord, I am the distant cousin of the uncle of Senior Young Master’s wife…"
 "I don’t care who you are, you’ve shamed the Feudal Lord family. And you are ruining the reputation of the Xi Men Feudal Lords." There was no leeway for discussion in Xi Men Yu’s tone as he shouted: "Someone take him out. Make sure that he gets lost as far as possible, no one is allowed to speak for him." The guards from the two sides followed his order and dragged that door guard away.
With a cold sneer, Xi Men Yu did not seem to have unleashed all of his anger as he said to that captain: "Mr. Captain, I am sorry for the wait. These servants are not reliable at all. Could I ask where is the Young Master that owns this token?"

Xi Men Yu’s tone was like the spring wind diluting the rain in that it was extremely soft. It made people feel as if he was talking to an honorable guest.
For a time, that captain did not understand what was going on. It was rumored that the people of the Xi Men family was difficult to talk to. Today, he had experienced it first hand.
However, this person before him was apparently the legendary Xi Men Feudal Lord himself. How come he was being so nice and completely different than those servants?
After a moment of delay, he finally regained his senses: "It’s my honor to meet you, Mr. Xi Men Lord."

"No need for courtesy, hurry and tell me. Where is that young master?" Xi Men Yu showed an anxious expression. If it was Qin Wushuang, and he did not go quickly, he would be putting on too much of an attitude. Even the Emperor of the Bai Yue needed to speak a lot of good words when he wanted to meet with Qin Wushuang. Being a little Feudal Lord and delaying so much time from going, even the thought of it made him anxious.
That captain said stutteringly: "That Young Master is outside the city gate. He said that when you see this symbol plate, you would know who he is and he said to instruct the government of the Southcloud to issue a special official letter…"

Then, he explained everything that had happened inside and outside the state city. The more Xi Men Yu listened, the more sweat emerged on his forehead. He nodded and said: "There is no time to lose, I am going now."

He waved his hand and called a trusted aide over and whispered orders to him. The expression of that guard also changed dramatically as he nodded seriously. After the whispers, Xi Men Yu said seriously: "Hurry and tell the government to finish this task with no delay. Or else, they would not be able to atone for this crime."

On paper, the Southcloud government was the official powerhouse in the state. However, in this state, everyone knew that the strongest was the head of the Xi Men Feudal Lords.
After Xi Men Yu had instructed, he urged: "Let us hurry to the gate."

…
Outside the city gate, young and strong men from all over the Heavenly Royal Territory started to assemble. With one hundred people per team, there were already more than thirty teams assembled. And people kept rushing to join along the way.
Xi Men Yu raise the whip to spur the horse and rushed to the city gate with a flying speed. At this time, he had pushed aside all the forbidden laws of not allowing one to rush through the streets on a horse.
That captain of the city guards were also confused. Inwardly, he could not help but feel shocked and followed behind. Yet, he could not catch up with Xi Men Yu’s flying speed. He could not help but wonder: "What is the background of that Young Master? Is a relative of the Royal family? He has gotten the mighty Xi Men lord to go out to meet him. Ha ha, those servants of the Xi Men family are just too vicious. Fortunately, this Lord is not a dumb person. He taught him a good lesson, it’s really refreshing!"
When Xi Men Yu rushed to the city gate, he already saw Qin Wushuang holding the reins on his horse from the distance outside the gate. With a leisurely expression, he was watching those peasants get organized.
Qin Wushuang went up when he noticed Xi Men Yu rushing over on the horse: "Lord Xi Men, long time no see."

Xi Men Yu immediately jumped off the horse: "Marquis, I am sorry for not having welcomed you."
Qin Wushuang smiled: "Don’t mention it. This Southcloud state is also part of my hometown. I am not a guest, and it would not matter about the welcoming. I called you over because I wanted to solve the these farmers’ problem."
Xi Men Yu waved his hand and said straightforwardly: "This problem is easy to solve. We will let them in. It’s rare for the people to support the Heavenly Royal government this much. This is a good thing and needs to be encouraged. Like the close relationship between fish and water, official workers and the people should be one. This will prove the popular sentiment toward the Heavenly Royal government, excellent!"
Xi Men Yu spoke with a loud and resonant voice as he laughed. He handed over Qin Wushuang’s National Scholar Command Plate and asked in a whisper: "Marquis, shall we keep your identity a secret?"

Qin Wushuang smiled and said: "No need, it would not make sense to keep my identity a secret before the people. Of course, don’t publicize it too much. I am not going to stay here since I am about to leave now."

Inwardly, Xi Men Yu felt somewhat disappointed. Initially, he wanted to make a closer connection with Qin Wushuang and set up a banquet to welcome him. Then, he would plan a farewell ceremony to make everything look nice.
Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, Xi Men Yu knew that Qin Wushuang was unwilling to make it public. Although he felt somewhat regretful, he would not dare to keep him here by force. Thus, he nodded: "If that’s the case, I will send you off, you wouldn’t mind, right Marquis?"

Qin Wushuang laughed: "Lord Xi Men, you are one of my people, no need to be so formal. If you want to send me off, how could I refuse? I welcome you to come to visit the royal mansion whenever you are free."

Currently, Xi Men Yu had naturally classified himself as a trusted aide to the Royal Qin. Hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, he felt extremely satisfied and said happily: "Of course, the Xi Men family has received much from the Royal Mansion. My son Xi Men Xing has also received a lot of care from you. I haven’t had the chance to thank you. This is an unexpected present, ha ha."
In between their talks, that captain of the city guard had already returned. When he saw that Lord Xi Men was engaged in conversation with that young man and seemed to want to make a close relationship with him, he could not help but feel lucky for making the right choice."

Qin Wushuang laughed and said: "This captain is good."

Xi Men Yu also nodded when he heard his words: "Indeed, he is good. He is quick at making things work."

When he heard these two were praising him, the captain immediately replied humbly: "I would not dare."

In a moment, the prefectural magistrate from the official government also arrived quickly surrounded by a group of his subordinates. Qin Wushuang had met with that prefectural magistrate once before. At that large square in the Southcloud and before he was to participate in the martial arts student exam, he had received his presence with all other martial arts students from the Southcloud state.
It was only a year and half from back then, now their status was completely different.
Usually when he went out, that prefectural magistrate loved to take the sedan chair and would not show himself easily. Now, he had urged horse here and his big body had rolled off the saddle like a white gourd and said: "I am most terrified, most terrified. I had no idea that you were here…"

Qin Wushuang laughed lightly: "Mr. Magistrate, don’t mention it. Did you finish preparing the documents?"

 "I have finished it all, please look, Marquis."

Qin Wushuang took it and looked at it for a moment: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Magistrate."
He turned his head and said to Xi Men Yu: "Lord Xi Men, since the documents are done, we will do it according to the rules. Of course, to prevent chaos, we will let them pass through the city in groups, each time only a thousand people will pass. The government will send people to maintain order. After the one thousand have passed, we will let another thousand pass. No more interference on the way to and on the way back, how about it?"

"Of course, of course." Naturally, Xi Men Yu would not object as he spoke to that prefectural magistrate, "This matter, please spend some time on it."
That prefectural magistrate immediately said: "Of course, it’s my duty to work for the royal mansion, and for the Marquis." After he had finished speaking, he also said: "I just wonder how many days you are going to stay at the state city? I will set up a banquet to welcome you…"
Qin Wushuang politely rejected: "There is no need. I am going now. If you have the intention, you can accompany Lord Xi Men to come as guests to the royal mansion."

When that magistrate saw Lord Xi Men also smiling bitterly with some regrets, he knew that Qin Wushuang clearly did not want to linger. He would not dare to make him stay and nodded to say: "If that’s the case, I would love to send you off with the Lord."

After finishing everything, Qin Wushuang turned his head around and said: "My friends and people, the documents for passing the gate is already done. To prevent disorder, we will go through in groups. Each time, a thousand people will pass. Please wait patiently."

The prefectural magistrate also said: "For those that cannot pass today, I’ve already ordered my people to prepare food, rice and noodles. We will not let you wait in hunger."
All the people felt flattered when they saw the honorable prefectural magistrate had come out to see them. Each of them nodded in their agreement to wait. At the same time, they could not help but talk amongst themselves. Apparently, everyone was curious about the background of this young noble. He could cause the Xi Men Feudal Lord and the prefectural magistrate to step out to solve the problem. And they had done it with such speed and efficiency.
With the organization from the government, it was much easier when these farmers passed through the city. Each of them worked together and did not get noisy while walking fast. They would look around and while keeping their feelings of shock inside.
Followed by the first group of farmers and by the accompanying Lord Xi Men and the prefectural magistrate, he walked towards the south gate. Of course, they travelled much faster than those peasants while on horse and arrived at the south gate in a moment. Inwardly, those guards were also shocked when they saw both Lord Xi Men and the prefectural magistrate escorting a young man out of the city.
When they arrived outside the gate, Qin Wushuang said: "Ok, Lord Xi Men, Mr. Magistrate, let’s stop here."
These two wanted to accompany him a bit more. However, hearing Qin Wushuang’s words, they could only rein their horses and waved their hands as they reluctantly bid goodbye.


In China’s modern martial arts society, Wu Xinghe was history’s youngest grandmaster of martial arts. He was invincible. Because of a strange incident, he was reincarnated as Qin Wushuang, a poor aristocratic boy in an entirely different world with its own set of rules. With his strong will and passion, he began his journey to pursue the highest peak of martial arts!

The main character’s beliefs are:

Never comply with the aristocrats or the rich people, regardless of any situation. To only depend on your own strength because, eventually, you will have the power to be invincible.

Rise! Soar through the Galaxia! 

There was a group of swordsmen that carried machetes and knew how to intimidate others. They were also eloquent and intelligent. Even so, they still could not find stable jobs, because they were too smart for their own good and always on the move.
Basically, they were all talk, no action.
To them, fighting was more like a game. Two parties competed against each other showing off their machete skills and trash talking. The party with the better performance won the game. The loser, if they obeyed the rules, left willingly, accepting the outcome publically after the game was over.
However, if they met any aggressive foes who were willing to fight to the death, they would run away immediately, even if they outnumbered the enemy.
These soldiers were independent, and never worked for any one organization for very long. They joined or left organizations freely. As they never actually fought against others with their sabers (as their swords were just for show), they were widely known as the "Men with Machetes".
"Life means everything," was their motto.
The Men with Machetes needed money to support themselves, and there were people willing to hire them. Their purpose for hiring these men was just to show off their strength, not to actually fight.
Unfortunately, the employers were rare. Therefore, the Men with Machetes had to pretend to be swordsmen just to get jobs.
War was supposed to be a good opportunity for swordsmen, and Golden Roc Fort had lowered their requirements for new recruits. They had alreay taken in almost half of the swordsmen in the Western Region. Even inexperienced, young lads who had never held a saber could join them. However, they refused the Men with Machetes.
Like swordsmen, the Men with Machetes carried their sabers. Their real identities would only be exposed in a fight, when it became obvious that they had no battle skills. So, inexperience employers were fooled by them often. These employers paid the Men with Machetes, but did not get any protection when they were in danger.
Bodyguards in Jade City volunteered to provide the identities of the Men with Machetes to Golden Roc Fort. They were willing to help the Supreme King keep these spineless, cowardly Men with Machetes out of the Golden Roc Army so as not to ruin the entire army.
Although the Men with Machetes were outraged and insulted by this, they did not dare to complain openly.
The Men with Machetes all had one thing in common -- they liked and believed gossip. One day, they heard the rumor that several of the kingdoms would have a shortage of soldiers for guarding the capital gates after Golden Roc Army entered Xiaoyao Lake. This job would be easy, and the requirements to get hired were simply being a man with a saber.
The Men with Machetes made up their minds to try for the jobs while sitting together in a small tavern, asked the manager for their bills, and left. A few of them gathered together and headed for Xiaoyao Lake. They followed the main force of the Golden Roc Army on the way there. By the time they arrived at the capital of the Hui Kingdom, their numbers had grown to a little over 200.
However, they did not get the jobs they sought. In his youth, Shangguan Jianyi had fought together with Shangguan Fa to clear the hooligans from the streets, so he knew all about the Men with Machetes. He would rather hire 50 or 60 year old farmers than accept these outcasts.
The Men with Machetes were in a desperate situation. They had not brought much money with them to Hui City, and what little they had was already gone. They had no money to return to Jade City.
After their departure, the managers of the taverns in Jade City were very relieved. It wasn't long before the managers of the taverns in Hui City realized that the Men with Machetes were penniless. Eventually, they made a rule for the Men with Machetes: no credit.
One night, a few dozen of the Men with Machetes bought a bottle of cheap liquor together. They played games in low spirits. Half of them couldn't afford any liquor at all.
Most of the other soldiers were fighting in battle. The Men with Machetes were the only male guests in the tavern at the time.
"We can't continue to live like this," shouted one of the Men with Machetes angrily (for he had not been able to afford any liquor at all). He pounded on the table violently and stood up, putting on a good performance.
"You're right. We have sabers, just like the swordsmen. Why do they deserve to live a luxurious life while we have to fight for liquor here?" asked one of the other men.
"The Golden Roc Army didn't accept us, and look what became of them -- they lost the battle," the first man said.
The Men with Machetes became angrier and angrier. According to them, the Golden Roc Army had lost the battle solely because they had not been allowed to join.
"Why didn't you join the Dragon Army?" someone asked.
"Why? Because we never take a loser's side, even if we get handsome rewards," they all responded. They had never even considered joining the Dragon Army.
But to their surprise, the Dragon Army won the battle. The Men with Machetes regretted their decision a lot. They even blamed some of their friends for talking them out of joining the Dragon Army.
Then, they started to talk about the Dragon Army. They were only interested in how much money the soldiers could make, not the battle itself.
"I heard that the Dragon King is so selfish that he keeps all the money to himself," one of the men said.
"You idiot. He used to be selfish. He didn't put much money in the battle because he thought he would lose. But now he's won the battle and claimed a huge fortune from the Golden Roc Army. If he didn't give some of it to the soldiers, no one would follow him," replied another.
They imagined a scene in which the soldiers of the Dragon Army were dividing the spoils.
"Is it too late to join the Dragon Army now?" one of the men asked.
"The war is over, so there's no use joining now. How can you get paid if you don't fight on the battlefield?" someone else answered.
"No one said that the war was over. The Golden Roc Army is escaping, and the Dragon Army is pursuing them. Everyone knows it," another of the men argued.
No one responded. The Men with Machetes were all thinking the same thing: "Pursuing the defeated army is dangerous, and that goes against our rules."
"I have an idea. We can not only serve the Dragon King while remaining safe, but also take revenge on the Golden Roc Army," one of the men said, suddenly.
"Tell us, and hurry," the others begged.
"The bridge isn't far from here. Both the southern and northern shores set up checkpoints. Luckily, these checkpoints are guarded by timid, local soldiers. We can easily scare them away and take the bridge. As long as we don't let the Golden Roc Army pass for several days, they can't cross Xiaoyao Lake, and their entire army will be annihilated. Don't you think it would impress the Dragon King, and get us a big reward?" he said.
The Men with Machetes were lost in thought again. This time, they were thinking about this new idea.
"Let's do it," they all agreed.
The Men with Machetes pulled out their sabers and banged them on the table violently. Then, they rushed out of the tavern suddenly, deciding to take the bridge and get revenge on the Golden Roc Army right away.
They were too excited to even notice which man had originally proposed the idea.
In Jade City, the experienced tavern managers were not scared by their exaggerated behavior. Rather, they watched them quietly, and sold the information they collected from the men to whomever wanted it.
But this was Hui City, not Jade City. The managers here did not dare to get involved.
Meng Mingshu's plan was to sell out the Men with Machetes. However, when his accomplice told him that the men had already started their takeover, he thought he might be too late. He had heard a lot about the Men with Machetes. He asked, "Will they... succeed?"
His accomplice lowered his head silently.
Compared to Meng Mingshu, Xiao Fengchai knew the Men with Machetes better. She laughed, "Don't expect too much. It doesn't matter, even if they fail. Right now, any man who stands out is likely to get himself in trouble."
Meng Mingshu understood her words, and smiled. He thought, "The Dragon King will need me and the Meng family in the future. It doesn't matter whether my plan works or not."
Hui City was in disarray. The city gates were still open by nightfall, and the civilians escaped from the city with their families. When a hundred of the Men with Machetes flooded through the city gates, no one stopped them.
To the Men with Machetes, it was a good sign.
At first, they felt confident that they would succeed. They robbed anyone that they encountered who had horses or mules, and none tried to fight against them because of being outnumbered.
The Men with Machetes became more and more confident of their plan.
Checkpoints were set up at each end of the bridge. The checkpoint on the southern shore was tall and thick, while the one on the northern shore was comparatively smaller. Shang Liao arrived there before the Men with Machetes did. The general of the Hui Kingdom in charge of the checkpoint opened the gate. At the first sight of Shang Liao, the general and his soldiers knelt down, and shouted, "Your Grace."
The Prime Minister had done a good job. The generals and soldiers of the Hui Kingdom all supported Xiaoyao Lake's independence, and they were willing to take risks for it.
There were dozens of Golden Roc Army soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and they all slept soundly without noticing that they were being tied up by ropes. They had never suspected that some of their companions would secretly add knockout powder to their food.
At around 11:00 pm, two boats made their way from the east. Half of the troops guarding the shore abandoned their posts out of fear. The rest let them pass, promising to claim they had seen nothing if questioned.
Shang Liao went to the watchtower. He waved a torch to command the boats to come ashore. He did not ask them to unload the boats immediately, though.
Powerful bombs were inside the two boats. Shang Liao would not hand them over until the Prime Minister of the Kang Kingdom fulfilled his promise.
After fifteen minutes, a group of soldiers rode towards them from Hui City. The Prime Minister of the Kang Kingdom was amongst them, and dismounted his horse hurriedly, shouting, "It's me! Open the door!"
Obviously, the Prime Minister was frightened.
Some things are easy to talk about, but difficult to do. Regicide did not only require weapons and courage, but also the willpower to abandon loyalty and tradition.
Looking at the king he had knelt before daily, the Prime Minister started to panic. After hesitating for awhile, he gave the signal to his bodyguard. The bodyguard was a professional and killed the king quickly.
The Prime Minister cut off the king's head himself to hide his anxiety. He took the scimitar from the bodyguard, and violently chopped off the king's head, as if the king were his foe.
He knelt before the new king, and raised the disembodied head in the air. His hands were covered in blood.
When he watched the Prime Minister holding the former king's head, Shang Liao was very angry for a moment. "The Prime Minister is from the Royal Family. He is supposed to show respect to the old King of the Kang Nation instead of holding his head excitedly," he thought to himself.
Now that Shang Liao was the King of the Kang Nation, his attitude towards the Prime Minister had changed quite a bit.
"Rise," Shang Liao replied coldly. He turned around and waved the torch to give his second signal.
The men on the boats carried the bombs to the bridge very carefully and arranged them on the bridge evenly.
The generals and soldiers guarding the bridge remembered their first fight on the lake. They looked at the bombs with fear, too afraid to even approach them.
All the soldiers guarding the checkpoint of the southern shore retreated to the northern shore. Soon, those who had escaped from the Golden Roc Army would gather here and watch the bridge burn.
Shang Liao hoped that these army deserters at least had the courage to return and engage in a final fight with the Dragon Army.
The Dragon King sent an army of thousands to take the Kang Kingdom, which was Shang Liao's biggest threat. But Shang Liao had a plan for victory: At dawn, he would return to his navy. He would take into custody all the soldiers who weren't from the five kingdoms of Xiaoyao Lake, and then he would block every way onto the lake.
This would force the Dragon King's army of thousands to be isolated. They could either surrender or die.
Everything went as planned. Shang Liao began to envision a bigger future for himself.
The sound of hooves and shouts awakened him from his daydream.
"What's going on?" the Prime Minister of the Kang Kingdom asked, turning around anxiously.
No one knew what was happening.
In the darkness, hordes of troops and horses seemed to come down on them from out of nowhere. It came as a complete surprise to them, as there was no large army in the capital of the Hui Kingdom.
The Men with Machetes fully utilized their acting talents. They managed to create a terrifying scene to intimidate the enemy.
"We are the Dragon King's troops. Fight or surrender!" they shouted.
The Prime Minister, generals and soldiers guarding the checkpoint were shocked, but Shang Liao was more stunned than anyone else.
He had been thinking about the Dragon King's army of thousands. But all of a sudden, the army directly attacked here instead of heading for the Kang Kingdom, as he had expected.
"The Dragon King is smarter than me. All of my plans have been in vain," he thought.
Shang Liao did not want to give up now, though. He drew his scimitar and cut off the Prime Minister's head. He said to the terrified generals and soldiers, "If you believe me, you will follow me to serve the Dragon King. He promised me that he would allow Xiaoyao Lake to be an independent country. As for this man, he murdered the king, so he had to be punished."
Shang Liao only had a dozen guards serving him, while there were a hundred generals and soldiers serving the Hui Kingdom. Terrified by the scene, they held onto their weapons tightly, not knowing what to do.

General Tao was all pumped and waiting for the news of deaths of their nemesis. Hidden in the forest just two hours apart from the capital each one of the people were bubbling with excitement when thinking of ravaging the grand capital of Nanling. 

The small group from suicide squad were wandering outside the capital gates waiting the same message so that they can take action with collaboration with their men inside. Their task was to massacre the royal family then open the gates of capital for their army to enter with ease. 

It was during the mid afternoon when messenger pigeon finally reached to the suicide group. They were anxious and excited when opening the letter. One word was written but it was enough to pump those men. Written in bold letters were the word 
"proceed" signifying that their back was secured. 

The men quickly burn the note and then pick up their bundles and ox carriage to enter the capital gates. They had known it was restricted for people to leave or enter the capital thus had prepared well. 

One of the men moves forward and stabs the owner of the tea house whom they have taken as a hostage, after that he was placed on the cart. All the men then pull the carriage in hurry and bang on the gates. 

The royal guard on duty peeks from a small gap "who are you?...currently the capital is not allowing for anyone to enter or exit...whatever your reason is come back a week later.." hearing the guard the men who was dressed as a poor commoner cries and begs "honorable sir...we are just poor laborers of Nanling and had went out for work...on the way we were attacked by vile men...my poor father is currently on his last breath...if not taken look by physician he for sure will pass away...

Honorable sir...for the sake of good karma please allow us to enter so we can ask for a physician to look at my father...he is bleeding profusely at the moment..."

The guard stretches his neck and indeed sees the man laid on the carriage bleeding heavily. He was in conflict but looking at the crying men he couldn't help but feel sympathy thus with much gentler tone he replies "that..I am a mere guard so don't have much authority...but I will talk to our chief about your situation...till then why don't you try and stop the bleeding as much as you can.."

The crying men kneel and thanks while hurrying to do as he said. The guard then closes the gate and goes to report to his chief. Soon the guard and the chief arrive and exits the gate to see the injured men. As the situation was critical and the men presented their paper work proving themselves to be the citizens of Nanling they were finally allowed to enter and rush the injured man. 

The chief and the guard felt pity for the injured man and his son as the wound was far to grave to tend they weren't able to see the glint and mocking smile on those men when able to enter. Similarly another group of men who were in cahoots with these intruders also sighed in relief. 

The men kept their act and rushed the carriage towards the physician tower after they were quite far from the gates they change their route and enter a small alley. At the end of the alley there was a very poor looking house which was currently the base for their colleagues. 

The men looked left and right and after making sure that they weren't followed or had any third presence knock on the door. Giving their special tap the door was opened and everyone entered the place including the injured man. 

They then huddle to discuss the plan and each of their role. As they finished the briefing each had a cup of wine in their hands raised for the toast. They might not be alive by the night with such dangerous mission thus drank their wine in a gulp to wish for success and farewell. After which each one of them pat each other backs and heads out to complete their mission.
