Lu yao yin woke up to the ringing of her phone, she grumbled grudgingly and picked up the call with a half sleepy eyes, she didn't need to check the caller ID as there was only one person that could call her by this hour
"xunmi this better be important" she whined
"boss are you still asleep?" Si xunmi voice sounded through the speaker, her tone carried a hint of urgency
"it 7 am on a Saturday morning, what else am I supposed to be doing" she retorted then sat upright
"speak what's the matter?" Si xunmi urgency told her how serious the issue was.
"It's Ah Se mi" just that name alone made Lu yao yin face turn stone cold.
"what about her?" after a long pause she asked with a serious voice
"she called me to ask if I was aware of the imposter that now heads DxD, I told her that I had my reasons for putting you there and that she had nothing to worry about then..." she paused "then she asked me to come back for reevaluation"
Re-evaluation? Lu yao yin frowned even further, back when she was still the leader of Chaos, they would only ask a member to undertake Re-evaluation when they felt he or she could have been compromised or turned to an enemy.
"Do you think she suspect something?"
"No" Lu yao yin shook her head "Se mi is to proud to think her enemy has come back from the grave, she probably thinks you taking decisions into your own hands shows you do not put her in your eyes, so she's calling you back to remind you who is the Overlord"
She has lived with Ah Se mi almost all her life so how could she not discern her line of thought. Ah Se mi had been her adopted daughter even before she herself could perfectly put on her cloths.
"that's sound more like something the bitch would do" the phone could not even diffuse Si xunmi contemptuous tone.
"To be on a safer side, I'll lay low till you're back at least to assure her that I only work under your orders. It's a long process in Re-evaluation so it's going to take a long time before you are back so while you're there try cozening up to her and find out if she has leads on the other piece"
"If possible find out what her true motives are and if you find anything alert me through white falcon"
"okay boss I will"
"Si xunmi" Lu yao yin called her name before she cut the call, there wasn't any more seriousness on her face only concern was left
"Be careful"
"yes boss"
She remained in the sitting position even after the call had been disconnected, she had a lot on her mind and it reflected on her face. Her battle with Ah Se mi and whosoever was backing her was approaching and she could feel it. She sighed regretfully and laid back down but just as she closed her eyes her hone rang again
"Zi yichen you're the second person disrupting my sleep this morning so I hope it's important"
"you're still in bed?" He sounded skeptical "aren't you forgetting something?
'if I remember what I'm forgetting then how is that considered as forgetting" she rolled her eyes and asked him what he was talking about
"we're supposed to go to the range today"
Her eyes shot open and she jumped out of bed "I almost forgot! where are you now?"
"I went to get something, I'm on my way home" He replied and she could really hear the sound of driveway ng from the receiver
"great before you get home I'll be done with dressing and packing my st_"
THUMP!!
the sound of something hitting the ground resounded everywhere and even Zi yichen heard it
"Lu yao yin!" he exclaimed her name cautiously
"I'm fine I'm fine" she groaned and stopped up from the floor, she had fallen as she tried to hurriedly take off her pajamas.
"forget about picking anything, I got a few things that you might need already so just get dressed and wait I'll come pick you up."
Lu yao yin was surprised by what he said but she didn't have the time to start admiring his thoughtfulness so she just hummed her answer and went on with getting ready.
After taking her bath, she was lost in a dilemma of deciding what to do with her hair, before now she had always worn a wig that made it look like she had long hair but today she was going to do everything that she loved so she wanted to look like Kun feng, she combed her short black hair and left it that way. she wasn't the makeup type so all the time that would have been spent on fixing her face was used in masking the visible tattoos showing on her wrist and her neck after then she threw on a bikers black leather trouser then a tank singlet with a jean jacket.
"where are you off to?" a male voice asked as soon as she got downstairs. She looked at the couch and saw Si Lu te sprawl on it lazily, she had almost forgotten this idiot lives in her house
"General Han invited me to visit his range"
"oh" he answered unenthusiastically
"you seem jobless so go get dressed you're coming with me" she got a message that she could bring one person along with her, at first she didn't plan on taking anybody but seeing this jobless lazybones gave her the thought to punish him a little
"no I'll rather stay in here all_" he hadn't finished speaking when a pen swished towards him. He agilely caught the pen just five inch away from his eye ball.
"are you crazy! I could have gone blind!" anger was written on his face as he said this
"yes and you'll go impotent if you don't get your ass off that couch and go get dressed" Her tone was cold and He knew she wasn't joking, He gulped anxiously from her threat and had no choice but to get up and do what she asked.
Few minutes later a horn rang from outside the house and then Lu yao yin and a grumbling Si Lu te walked out and entered the car.
"you cut your hair?" Zi yichen asked surprised when she got into the car.
"yes why? it doesn't look good?"
"it suits you perfectly" He lifted his hand to ruffle her hair but she slapped it away before he could even touch her head
He chuckled then handed her a plastic bag, and began driving.
"for you" inside the bag contained sport clothes and gear and surprisingly everything looked her size, she sent him an amused look and didn't say anything else.
"you and your boyfriend look so... tsk tsk" Si Lu te whispered into Lu yao yin and in return she elbowed him on his stomach
The range was located in the utmost outskirts of the city, it was deep in the woods almost up the mountains, the drove there was very long and bumpy. Lu yao yin closed her eyes through out the ride while Si Lu te complained all through, she could hear his mumblings in her thought. She ignored his grumbling and continued pondering on how she was going to confront frosty. she thought of way she could tell him that would make him believe her without questions
The car stopped and she opened her eyes, there was an army checkpoint just infront of the entrance to the range, Zi yichen said their codeword then they were allowed to enter then directed to where Han peizhe and the others were.
"miss Lu yao yin it took you long to get here I almost thought something had happened on the way" General Han walked up to her immediately he saw them alight from the car.
"my apologies for coming late, I kind of woke up late" she apologized courteously
"we were here early waiting for her a** while she was having her beauty sleep" someone whispered so silently but Lu yao yin had heard it, she shifted her eyes from General Han and only then did she notice the other people standing.
Among them was Lui shenhui and a girl that had attended the birth party with her, the girl must have been the one that said that cause she was looking at Lu yao yin with contempt in her eyes.
"let's head out, the training area is just after this barracks, it not far from here" Han peizhe ushered them towards the arena
