“It’s good that you understand.”


  Despite sighing in relief, Zhongnan doesn’t let this go lightly. I will need to send a couple of people to shadow this lassie in secret. I can’t let her be harmed because we’re careless.

  ……


  Mu Manor.

  Clutching her sweaty palm as she paced back and forth between the big hall, Mu Leng felt extremely uncomfortable inside as she waited. But that changed as soon as her eyes fell upon the beautiful lady that walked in the door: “Shifu!”


  Smiling at her disciple, Elder Muzhen didn’t hesitate to ask for why the girl’s acting so strange: “Are you waiting for me? Why are you looking so nervous?”


  “Yes Shifu,” pursing that lip, Mu Leng drops that head before speaking. “Shifu, I think I’ve failed in getting close to Xun Huan…”


  The proud woman never favored someone like Xun Huan to begin with, even if he was the second in line to the position as chief in the Misty Fairy House. So why did she go and seduce that womanizer? There were several reasons but it mainly surrounded the fact that she had a desire for power and her shifu instructed her to do so.

  “Give the specifics, I want to know the details.” Stern and dark, Elder Muzhen orders.

  Bit by bit, the story of what happened on the dragon boat was listed in clear detail.

  Regarding the event that afternoon, the white-haired beauty has long heard of it before returning home, just that she didn’t know her disciple had made such a huge blunder where not only does her reputation would take a huge hit and plummet, she also lost the favor of the second young lord in the Misty Fairy House!

  “Leng’er, do you know where you went wrong?” Muzhen sighs at her disciple’s carelessness. “Its your boasting. Even if you didn’t want to save those people, you shouldn’t have promised anything. With Xun Huan’s personality, he will definitely be dissatisfied you after learning the truth.”


  Getting on her knees now, the proud girl now started to weep: “Shifu, please help me, I can’t fall like this after working so hard!”


  Going silent, the old beauty didn’t speak for the longest time. “Go to the Mirage family’s place and apologies to them. Though Huan Yin is only a relative of the chief’s wife, the girl is highly favored by her aunt.”


  “In addition…” Muzhen’s gaze now turned sharp and fierce, “You must marry Xun Huan at all cost!”


  Now Mu Leng was absolutely shaking in her body after hearing her shifu’s final order: “I understand…”


  She only intended to string the man along at first when she originally got the order to seduce the person, now its obvious her shifu intends to marry her off for real this time. So, how could she accept this ending?

  First of all, her own talent far exceeds that womanizer. Though their level still doesn’t stand on the same level yet, but the age difference says it all. Its just a matter of time before she surpasses everyone.

  “If nothing else, go back to your room for now.” Muzhen waves her hand, signaling her student to leave.

  “Yes, Shifu.” Closing those eyes, the girl hides the unwillingness in there and retreated as told.

  Leaving the main hall, Mu Leng begrudgingly bypassed several of the long corridors before eventually reaching a familiar courtyard. But before she could reach the doorway for her own room, a guard had walked in from the side to make a report: “Miss, I have uncovered the matters you ordered us to investigate.”


  “Well?” her brow arching into a glare, she sounded cold and intimidating. “Who was it? Who was that woman who stole my limelight?”


  “She is the Ho family’s daughter called Ho Cui Cui, but… when I went to confront the lady, she informed us that she didn’t attend the event for various reasons and sold the invite slip to someone else.”


  “Who did she sell to?” Mu Leng’s expression was now getting hard and dangerous.

  “We were able to locate the dealer very easily and even managed to get a portrait of the woman according to the description he gave. Miss, please have a look.”
