“Really?” Ho Cui Cui sounded hesitant nevertheless. But upon recognition of how ‘talented’ Mu Leng was, she stuffed her doubt back inside at the end. “Miss Mu Leng, I hope you won’t forget me when you reach the seventh grade….”


  “Rest assured, I’m a person who keeps my promises and would never go back on my words. Now I’m going to first send you to the Dragon River for our plans to work, and do not ever forget the words I said to you….”


  The appearance of Ho Cui Cui naturally couldn’t be introduced by herself, otherwise that womanizer Xun Huan would definitely begin suspecting of something.

  ……


  Inside the study room of the Mu Manor.

  Elder Muzhen was just in the middle of going through her books when a voice from the outside interrupted her work. Though a bit annoyed, the old beauty summoned the individual anyways: “Come in.”


  “Elder.” The person was Uncle Mu who was charged with following Mu Leng today to the restaurant. “I inadvertently discovered something today while protecting the young miss.”


  “What’s the matter?” she frowns and paid closer attention.

  “I’ve learned of Zhongnan and Zhongbei taking in a new disciple….”


  A shocked look instantly takes over the old beauty’s eye. Growing stern and cold now: “Those two old timers actually took in a disciple? I thought after all these years they would be disheartened and have given up on life.”


  “Elder, should I send our people to assassinate the girl?” A gleam of murderous intent twinkles within the old man’s eye, indicating he’s not beyond such dirty methods.

  The Misty Fairy House may not allow confrontation between its members, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other methods under the table where they could take charge. For example, the slaying of the two brothers first disciple was exactly such a case. In the end Zhongnan and Zhongbei didn’t even know their precious apprentice was murdered by someone else and only assumed it was an accident!

  But that’s not the best part. As a result of that order from way back, the once leading figures – Zhongnan and Zhongbei – of the elder council has now fallen from grace and could only stand at the bottom of the ladder, unable to move forward again because of their idle cultivation.

  “Humph!” Muzhen huffs with displeasure, “It was precisely these two old farts who supported the young lord when he mingled with a mundane woman from the outside. I wanted to use forceful means to break off their relationship, but they kept insisting on going against my plan, sending my opinion to deaf ears!”


  “But what of it? If I can’t beat them in the open then I can beat them in the shadows. If they weren’t so stupid to begin with then they never would’ve fallen into their current decrepit state.” Just thinking of the past would be enough to make Muzhen’s eye flare up with fire: “Furthermore, simply killing their first disciple and freezing their cultivation is nowhere close to being enough to dispel my hatred for them both! Mu (senior), I will leave this matter to you. I don’t want to see anyone related to those two alive again! If one dead disciple is not enough then I will see to it their second one is dead as well!”


  “Be assured Elder, I won’t let that lassie live for long. There won’t be any evidences to point the incident back to us either.”


  Giving a satisfied nod over her subordinate’s smart wording: “They owe me. Even if I kill their disciple, its their fault and theirs to bear!”


  That girl from back then is nothing but a mundane, how can she deserve the young lord’s love? And if those two brothers are going to side with that bitch then they will owe me for life!

  ……


  If going by the inhabitants of the Misty Fairy House, the residences here could not compete with the mainland in terms of number of course. However, the amount of land they controlled and occupy definitely matches up on that end.

  It’s just that…. for any family with a certain level of status, they would most certainly control a mountain range that connects to the main mansion regardless of it being thousands of meters long!
