Chapter 297: Ye Qingyu & Pirate Shadows
Tianlong Xia:" Do you want to see him Ye Qingyu?"
At that moment the assassin stopped in front of her and froze. It was like she had just suffered the shock of her life.
She was shocked because this meant that her identity had been discovered. This was the first time it had happened, in all her life, this was the first time.
But the question she was asked made her even more shocked. This meant that Tianlong Yun was really alive, that he hadn't died.
Looking better at the face of the woman in front of her she could finally recognize her as Tianlong Xia, one of the lost people of the Tianlong family.
Things were becoming more and more unbelievable, with each new thing she was able to see and the conclusion she reached.
It was like the more she knew, the more ignorant she thought herself to be. Looking at the confident and calm eyes of Tianlong Xia, she knew that probably she didn't have a way out.
Taking off her mask, that was covering her face, she looked directly into Tianlong Xia's eyes and said,
Ye Qingyu:" I don't have much of a choice, do I? Especially after experiencing all this in here."
While hearing that Tianlong Xia was evaluating her possible new little sister. She was really skilled even though she didn't have proper cultivation.
At the same time, she was perfectly coolheaded and calm, even after the shock of having her identity exposed.
There was no meaning to lying or sweetening words right now, as Tianlong Xia said,
Tianlong Xia:" You are right, we can't let you leave at the moment, also meeting with him will be a bit difficult at the moment.
But don't worry you will not suffer at all, except the fact that Hu'er being by your side all the time you will be treated as a guest in our house."
Ye Qingyu was a bit startled at what she heard because she didn't expect something like this, but then thinking of something she was about to talk about when Tianlong Xia continued,
Tianlong Xia:" You don't have to worry about your contract with that guy and the Masons, we have already sent a message saying your refuse to do this mission.
The reason is also valid and they won't doubt, since behind this people is the 'Justice Sect'. in fact this can be a piece of information that even they don't know at the moment."
If at first, Ye Qingyu thought that she had a chance to escape after meeting with Tianlong Yun, and learning what was happening.
Now she knew that every try she would make would be useless. While this city seemed just like a developing one, with new powers around, it was in actual fact a fortress.
It was Tianlong Yun's fortress. She, the Masons, Jake Long, the Justice Sect, EITS, the Orientalist, the Royalists, and whoever had a foot in this place, was just a pawn in his hands.
There was just one question left in her mind, when did they found out about her real identity, and why hadn't Tianlong Yun come to meet her after.
Looking at Tianlong Xia's face as she was trying to look for answers, she asked with a firm voice,
Ye Qingyu:" Since when!?"
To the people surrounding them, it was like a cryptic question, but Tianlong Xia could understand that question easily, so she answered calmly,
Tianlong Xia:" It had been a while now, but things have been popping up one by one lately, so he wasn't able to come and talk to you.
We have a lot to talk about, so come with me."
Saying that Tianlong Xia started walking towards the storehouse, but stopped at the door, in place of entering inside, she placed her palm at the side of the door.
Almost as soon as she did that the wall there entered underground, and the entrance to an elevator was revealed.
Ye Qingyu just followed behind her calmly and without any reservation, she knew that if Tianlong Xia would want to do something to her she would have already done it.
While this entire situation was happening, the 4 guardians and the new girl had appeared and followed behind them too.
It wasn't for security, it was more because they needed a bit of help and rest after those paralytic needles. And as for the new girl, she was a secret of the Clan.
The only reason she had gotten outside just now was because there was no possibility of spoiling her presence secret.
Nobody besides the higher-ups of the clan had any idea who that new girl was. She had just appeared out of nowhere less than a week ago.
But while Tianlong Xia and Ye Qingyu were headed towards a long and peaceful talk, there was a place where peace didn't seem to exist right now.
It was the Bao's family Mansion, at this moment Young Master Bao Hu seemed to have a letter in his hand, and cursing someone out loud.
He didn't show any care even towards the glass beside him, all this noise brought Master Ming Tong close to him.
He was curious to know what had made his disciple lose his calmness and his temper. Lately, he had been showing to mature and show more constraint, different from now.
He didn't have to ask about what happened, because his disciple immediately started talking,
Bao Hu:" That b*tch just rejected our offer, she is not going to kill the people on the list. Apparently, she found out they are connected to the Justice Sect.
She doesn't want to meddle into the muddled waters."
Those words startled Master Ming Tong a bit since he didn't expect the Justice Sect to be so quick, and to have already control over 2 big families in this town.
He was here to find the identity of Qin Bao's masters, and check the background. He never expected the Justice Sect to be that background.
He didn't know what to think anymore, the only certain thing was that he had to start looking closely at what was happening in this little developing city.
At that moment he heard his disciple's voice once again,
Bao Hu:" We need to remove her, she knows about our list, and about us. We can't risk it with her right now, and if she decides to work for them it would be a bigger blow to our plan."
Master Ming Tong knew that his disciple was angry, but there was also truth in his words. The assassin was a loose end to them right now. They had to deal with her.
So even though with a bit of insecurity he nodded his head, and turning to the empty space behind him, he said with a solemn voice,
Ming Tong:" I am leaving this job in your hands' boys. But be careful, if you can bring her here alive!"
There wasn't any change whatsoever at the scene he was looking at, but he knew that his underlings were now going for the assassin's head.
It would be a big loss if they would have to kill her, but there was no other option at the moment. To do that, they would have to find her first though.
While all this was happening in Tianchang city, the Pirate Shadows of the desert were still on the hide after the first week of attacks on the small camps.
The bigger camps had turned every grain of sand on the desert upside down, but they were still unable to find the Pirate Shadows.
This was the name they had earned to themselves after that crazy first week, that made all the mercenary camps around think they were next.
When they suddenly stopped doing that, the small camps thought they survived, but the big camps were after them.
Small camps were too low level for them to hit, and they were already taking some protection percentage from them.
But a pirate unknown group that had pilfered through 8 such camps, was in no way a small bite. So they were looking for them for the simple reason of robbing the robbers.
The Shadows had known about this from the beginning and this was something they were expecting to happen, this way the protection of the big camps would fall.
But first, they had to train their new disciples. At first just like the first group, these people were really sturdy, sloppy, and unbelieving.
Just like when they say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, even the behavior and attitude of these people changed after they started eating better food.
Now after a week, they seemed like they were completely different people from the ones who started training a week ago.
To think that this was just the start of their training since they had yet to learn about cultivation. Only by their human bodies' potential, they were at least 5 times better.
It wasn't only the men, even the women were almost the same. Differently from the men though, the ladies didn't have muscles to look at.
This didn't take away their improvement though, in fact, there were a few that were showing real potential and talent.
While Tianlong Yue and Lu Bing wouldn't play the broker for their husband and get him more women to his bed, they couldn't deny that a few of them were worthy of it.
Those few were ladies that they would like to call their sisters. At the end of the day when the skin color and all prejudice were thrown away, they were human beings.
They all had thoughts, feelings, and opinions. After being with each other for more than a week, they had started to rely on each other and create bonds.
Like this one more week passed by slowly, and it was finally the time to see the results of the two-week training
