A week has passed peacefully.
Su Yuxin was practicing her martial skills at the backyard. As she was practicing, she heard few multiple steps heading toward her direction.
Su Yuxin stopped practicing and looked towards the footsteps direction.
All her subordinates have came along with Lu Xiu and Rong Fan.
All of them took their own initiative and made two separate lines. One female line and one male line. Lu Xiu was at the first of the female line whereas Ring Fan was at the first of the male line.
They all knelt down uniformly and called her out,
"Master."
Seeing their uniformity and unity, Su Yuxin was satisfied. She looked at every single one of them carefully, they had all reached yellow warrior in a week worth of time.
Their body was radiating energy, confidence and boldness in them. Su Yuxin said,
"All of you stand up."
All of them stood up firmly looking at her without hesitating.
Su Yuxin nodded her head. This was a good plus point for her. She didn't want subordinates who avoid her eye contact and is scared of their own master.
Lu Xiu and Rong Fan came forward both of them starting report the activities and progress they all made in a week.
Su Yuxin had specially prepared them for hand-in-hand combat training.
As for weapon, female subordinates were trained to use dragger and male subordinates swords.
"I am satisfied with all of your progress. But it is still not enough. This one week training was to see if you guys are willing to work hard or not. And none of you have failed me. I will officially name your group.
Male group will be known as Iron crop whereas female group will be known as Raising crop. Officially both groups together will be named Raging Flames.
Females will be responsible for information collection as well as assassin.
Males will be responsible for patrolling as well as merchant."
Hearing this fire was burning inside all of them, their new life was starting now. They were no more useless trashes that were looked down upon.
"We are willing."
They said in a harmony.
"IRON CROP" Su Yuxin shouted.
"YES MASTER" All the males knelt down and answered.
"RAISING CROP"
"YES MASTER" All the females knelt down and answered.
"Let the whole world know you guys as Raging Flames. Keep looking forward and work hard. Do you all understand?"
"Yes Master, we do" All of them answered simultaneously.
"From now on you will be working at day and cultivating at night. I want to see more progress in a week. You may all disperse now."
After saying that, all of them dispersed to do more physical training/cultivating as from they will have their own individual work to do.
Rong Fan and Lu Xiu stayed behind with Su Yuxin.
"Master" They both called her at the same time.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Su Yuxin answered in a lazy tone.
"What are your plans?" Rong Fan asked curiously.
"Hmm, to overthrow the emperor."
Both Lu Xiu and Rong Fan were shocked they picked on their ears not believing her ears.
Su Yuxin was amused by their identical action.
"Master, you are just kidding right?"
Lu Xiu asked unassured whether it was true or false.
"Do I look like I am?" Su Yuxin answered with a serious face and a cold tone.
Both of them gulped nervously.
"May I ask why, master?"
Rong Fan asked in a smaller voice which grew smaller and smaller at the end.
"Why you are asking? Just wanting to make a move at them first before they can on me."
Su Yuxin answered uninterestingly.
"Huh?" Rong Fan was confused but Lu Xiu could roughly guess few things.
"Is it related to the crown prince, My Yi?"
Lu Xiu said softly.
Su Yuxin hummed in a reply.
"You guys just work on gathering information on corrupt officials and raising your cultivation. With you guys cultivation right now, it will be hard to fight against Royal Family."
Both Lu Xiu and Rong Fan eyes twinkled with determination. They won't back out of this. They will fight along with their master.
"Ah yes, Rong Fan you said before you have a request for me. To be precise, a revenge?"
Su Yuxin looked at Rong Fan questionably.
Hearing this Rong Fan eyes grew cold, he almost forgot about it.
"Yes, young miss. I want your help."
"Hmm? I will help you. My ears are all open. Now come on spill the beans so I have an understanding of the situation."
"I am illegitimate son of Le Yuan"
Rong Fan muttered these words out in pure disgust.
Su Yuxin snapped her quick and looked at him not believing his words,
"Le Yuan, the clan patriarch of the Let Clan?"
"Yes, my mother was his first wife. He used my mother maternal family clan to make his Le Clan stronger and later killed everyone from my mother maternal family along with her. Then married his current wife. I was hidden right after my birth as my mother knew something was wrong with that man. So he doesn't know my existence. Now my mother name is removed from the genealogy, making me the illegitimate son."
Su Yuxin listened to every detail carefully.
She wasn't new to these situation. Human are greedy by nature and will do anything to climb higher.
In this case, Len Yuan used his biological mother to make his clan more stronger and better. But once her clan was completely squeezed out with nothing left. He killed them all to hide the fact he needed his wife's maternal family clan to reach the position he is right now. His pride and arrogance didn't let his wife maternal family to shine brighter than his own clan. For him it was humiliating situation to rely on a female.
Su Yuxin has already witnessed lots of things like this in her past live. So, she was used to it. And this situations are never ending cycle which will continue everyday like a loop in different places at different times.
"So you want revenge?"
Su Yuxin asked calmly as she tapped her fingers on the table.
"Yes, master. I want to kill him in behalf of my mother, maternal grandparent and all my maternal family members. I want to take back everything he took from my mother."
Rong Fan eyes were red from anger. If Le Yuan was here right now, he would have already killed him.
Su Yuxin sighed, he was really pitiful to go thorough so much from his childhood. Su Yuxin looked at him straight in his eyes and said,
"Don't worry, I will help you get revenge. Le Zi has been annoying lately. So I won't mind exterminating the Le Clan."
"Thank you Master" Rong Fan said while cupping his hands and bowing to her.
"I promised you before I will fulfill your request plus your enemy is same as mine. So you don't have to thank me."
Su Yuxin waved her hand at him to stop him from bowing to her.
Rong Fan had a gratitude smile on his face.
After that both Lu Xiu and Rong Fan returned back to cultivate with other members of Raging Flame Crop.
While Su Yuxin went inside her alchemy book to cultivate.
Tomorrow was a big day with exciting events and drama to unfold.
Tomorrow was the day sakura blossom festival was going to happen at the palace.
"Tomorrow is going to be interesting."
Su Yuxin said looking at the sky smirking wickedly.
