Upon hearing Bai Guang, Wang Chunhua took her aside. "Miss Bai, haven't you noticed about the streets of Savant City, there are warning posters? By now, you should know, no one seeks the services of the Failed Alchemist."
Startled, Bai Guang covered her mouth. "She's that Failed Alchemist? She's the one that poisoned everybody in the last Alchemist Exams."
Wang Chunhua nodded.
Face distorting into unimaginable fury, jumped at Qin Rong, "B*tch! You purposefully didn't warn me!"
Casually, Qin Rong dodged to the side. "Humph! Everyone's knows you only have eyes for honey cakes. Didn't you eat two dozen on the way over? Indeed your cow hips are mighty."
Ling Fan strode in. Upon looking at the lone survivor she said, "Fierce Saber end him. Obviously, he's no use to us."
Tang Xifeng jumped forward and she was about to chop off his head, when the man frantically shook his head and hands in no.
"So you don't want to die yet? But what use are you if you can't speak?" asked Ling Fan.
The man grimaced and used his index finger to draw characters in the ground.
"You're name's Lai Shan?"
Vice Captain Lai Shan nodded furiously.
"So you can write. We'll take you and you willingly will write down everything," said Ling Fan matter of factually.
One of the men bent next to Vice Captain Lai Shan. "You think losing your tongue is bad? Humph! Let me tell you what happens if you don't talk." The man whispered into Vice Captain Lai Shan's ear.
Vice Captain Lai Shan shuddered in horror.
Pulling way, the man said,"That's right...we'll make you sleep with our Death Ax until your thingy shrivels and twists like a dried noodle."
"Qin Rong, I'll kill you!!" interrupted Bai Guang.
"You two shut up! Is this not a night raid? Are we not all on the same team?" roared Ling Fan.
Two red beams flashed out from Little Lord.
Bai Guang lost a whole right side of her hair. While Qin Rong had a perfectly smooth strip right down the middle.
All the women hissed and looked at the bunny like it was born from the deepest Nether Hell.
Even Ling Fan was numb with shock. The bunny hissed, "Shut up or die!"
After several breaths, Elder Bing caught her breath. "Fierce Leader, what do we do now?"
"Now you know what happens when Little Lord Godkiller here gets upset. You two better behave from now on. Leaders, separate into teams. Search for any papers and valuables. We leave in one hour, GO!!!"
Mo Lai suddenly said, "Leader, there are only five bodies. Shouldn't there be six?"
Everyone jolted.
Eyebrows curling, Ling Fan pulled out one of her blades. "You don't say where that sixth person is, I'll cut open you're stomach and pull out your intestines one-by-one. Humph! We'll see how long it takes you to call for Mommy."
Bai Guang hissed.
Six year old demon! Suddenly, a memory jogged her mind. In it, Tian Cai kept calling her Little Killer. Did Little Brother already know about her?
Elder Bing shot a look at Wang Chunhua and Tang Xifeng. Not to long ago, hadn't they both warned her about Ling Fan's idiosyncrasies? Perhaps, she should renew that discussion?
Lai Shan scribbled furiously on the ground.
Reading the characters, a man said, "Savant City, they sent him to investigate Di Bao's lack of contact."
"How long ago? What's the name and when is he expected to return?"
After Lai Shan scribbled again, the man said, "He's not expected for a few more days. Han Feng"
"Fierce Saber and Spymaster, take some men and capture Han Feng alive. Go!!"
Cupping their hands, Tang Xifeng and Mo Lai ran off with some men.
Putting up her sword, Ling Fan said, "Someone grab him. Lai Shan, you show me Di Bao chamber. There better not be anything you're hiding from us."
The Bunny squeaked and two beams shot out. In the distance, a small hill was sliced into quarters.
"Humph! Say hello to my Little Godkiller. Di Bao did the unforgivable...he dared to ridicule him. As a result, all 5 Empyreans and 15 Martial Kings, along died within two breaths. After they died, they were unrecognizable and could only be buried together. So you will show us everything? Will you not?"
A moment later, a warm yellow stream spilled into a pool at Lai Shan's feet. Frantically, he nodded in affirmative.
A few breath's later, in Di Bao's chamber, Lai Shan pointed to a wall. A man ran up and tapped in several places. Hearing a couple of hollow sounds, he said, "Leader it's fake."
"Fierce Fist, open the way. You better not embarrass us again and have your sister finish the job," said Ling Fan.
Qin Rong trembled at the words. Half a breath later, her eyebrows inverted. Roaring, Qin Rong's Martial Master's aura exploded as innumerable veins popped out of her forearms.
"Metal Power Fist!!"
Boom!
The wall blew up revealing a secret chamber.
As the dust cleared, Qin Rong chortled. "Is this Qin not mighty!!! Haahahaaha! Haahahaaha!"
Holding up a piece of the broken wall, Bai Guang said, "If my eyes aren't blind, isn't this wall a little thin?"
Qin Rong stiffened. Like everyone else, she just noticed that the wall was indeed no less than four fingers thick.
Looking about the room, Ling Fan said, "This Leader wants everything...empty it all!"
The men jumped in and started ransacking the place.
Ling Fan nodded approvingly. Later, they would safely sort through everything.
Wang Chuntao asked, "Leader, why the hurry if everyone is dead, couldn't we take our time?"
Ling Fan peered off in the distance with the bunny on her shoulders and folded her hands behind her back.
Normally one would appear like a noble and heroic master. However, everyone could barely control their laughter. As the light flickered about, Ling Fan's shadow looked like it had a rabbit's head.
Unknowingly, Ling Fan spoke, "Fierce Spear, is this not the best time to attack...What if there were still forces outside, watching? Who's to say that sixth Di Clan person didn't return early? There are still numerous variables at play. With experience you learn to mitigate risk..this..this saves lives."
Suddenly, a man ran in.
"Leader! Were doomed. Savant City's Great Demoness, The Legacy Killer is here!!"
Eh!
Ling Fan shook. Strongest Boss!!
Quickly everyone ran out. Upon seeing Zhao Wen, Ling Fan fell to one knee and cupped her hands.
"Boss! This one greets you."
Zhao Wen turned her head away. With the bunny on her shoulders, the Little Girl was almost as cute as Tian Cai.
Clearing her throat, Zhao Wen said, "You all come out!" Behind Zhao Wen appeared Shadow Six, Fat Shadow, Death Shadow and Soundless Shadow.
"Boss, you're here? How can this one help?"
"Relax, The Duchess informed us of our new hidden force. Earlier we noticed, Bai Guang run out and...Eh..Disciple what happened to your hair?" asked Zhao Wen whose bewildered eyes were locked on Bai Guang.
Upon seeing her Master, Bai Guang's face flushed red with embarrassment. Cupping her hands, she said, "Disciple greets Master."
"Qin Rong greets Matriarch!" said Qin Rong. Zhao Wen and the Shadows looked at Qin Rong and jolted.
One girl had a whole side of hair missing and the other had a thick even strip right down the middle of her head.
Standing up, Ling Fan said, "Those two were arguing through the entirety of the raid. Little Lord Godkiller here, mightily disapproved and exacted punishment."
Shadow Six pointed at the collapsed small hill in the distance. "Little Lord, did you do that as well?" he asked.
The bunny stood on his hind legs and proudly thumped his chest with a paw.
Shadow Six chortled, "Little Lord is indeed mighty!"
"Lord Uncle, please don't encourage him," said Zhao Chen.
Ling Fan look curiously at Shadow Six.
Noticing, Shadow Six said, "Niece, won't you introduce us?"
"Wine Master, This is my Lord Uncle Shadow Six. Recently, he returned to our clan."
Suddenly, Ling Fan eyes brightened. "Ah then you must know Big Brother Zhao Ding.. Is he here as well?"
Zhao Wen looked to Fat Shadow. He whispered in her ear and she nodded in understanding.
Smiling she said, "Ah unfortunately our Zhao Clan's top hidden expert is out on a secret mission. This seat is surprised that you even know him. Many claim he's our Zhao Clan's number one most handsome man."
Twirling her hair, Ling Fan said, "Boss, didn't he save this one's life the other day? This one has being wanting to thank him personally. Wait...did you just say Zhao Clan's number one most handsome man?"
Suddenly, Ling Fan the raging thump of her heart.
Behind her, Alchemist Liu sighed. "Not only is he the Zhao Clan's most handsome is he's also an unfathomable Savant. If only we were fated to met earlier. If only his eyes weren't only for Ling Hua."
Zhao Wen, still smiling peered back to Fat Shadows. Through her smiling teeth she said, "Investigate her."
Whispering, Fat Shadow said, "Ling Hua's a hidden bodyguard of Young Miss Ling. Everyone swears she's Ling Clan's number one beauty."
"Cai'er is courting her?"
"We've yet to see them publicly interacting," replied Fat Shadow.
"Get me a portrait."
"Mhm."
"Boss you were saying you noticed Bai Guang leave, then is it correct to say you were concerned for her safety?"
Turning back to Ling Fan, Zhao Wen nodded her head. "Wine Master deduces correctly. With Di Clan's attack, we were concerned they might attack her again. Therefore we followed. But then we discovered she was joining your operation. Earlier, the Duchess requested funds to support your group. This seat took the opportunity to determine your ability."
Ling Fan gasped, "You-You were testing us?"
"There is another reason. You do know that Little Lord is not the original Godkiller, correct? Until you appeared, it refused to leave Son's side."
Ling Fan rolled her eyes. Didn't she know exactly how that Little Punk felt?
"Do you know why it followed you?" asked Zhao Wen.
"It-It thinks I'm it's Mother."
The bunny squeaked, looking at Zhao Wen. "Granny."
