"He's very smart. I'll give him that," young master Bokan said as he sat across Jun Jian, "have there been any news on who killed him?"
"The Yuhan Enforcement Organization made known to the public that the infamous shadow claw was the one who killed Mr. Be after suspecting that he told someone about him," Jun Jian said to young master Bokan.
"Using shadow claw to cover up his murder, he's really cunning," young master Bokan said as he stood up, "and that's why he must die."
"You can leave," he said to Jun Jian before heading to the ancestral hall of his family to request aid from the family elders.
Leaving his family courtyard with two[2] elders at the same stage as Mr. Guchun, Tanji Bokan was prepared to deal with the torn in the eyes of his family if the need comes.

Standing in the midst of three[3] individuals of the male gender, Shung Yun had a lollipop sweet in his mouth as he listened to the words of the eldest male in the room.
"You said you don't want the five hundred[500] duan gold pieces we offered in the bounty?" the lower-stage elderly man asked the teenager in front of him.
"That's right," Shung Yun answered with the right side of his cheek having a bulge.
"Then, what do you want for your service to the town and to my Flowing River Sect?" the lower-stage elderly man asked.
"I need the Flowing River Sect to promote my estate after it's done, and to clear every obstruction of any external force by announcing your support for my estate," Shung Yun said as he gave his request.
"The Flowing River Sect doesn't support any organization except the ones it owns," the middle-stage male youth standing beside the lower-stage elderly man said to Shung Yun.
"That's really disappointing then. Seems like the Flowing River Sect doesn't appreciate the goodwill of strangers who used their time to help them," Shung Yun said as he cupped his fists at the elder and disciple of the Flowing River Sect, "I'll be taking my leave now."
"That's one thing all reputable organization will always fall for," the middle-stage middle aged man in charge of overseeing the deal between the representatives of the Flowing River Sect and Shung Yun thought as he waited for the response of the elderly man.
"Hold on," the lower-stage elderly man said as he called Shung Yun.
"Is the Flowing River Sect going to accept my request?" Shung Yun asked as he came to a stop.
"I'll have to report your request to the Sect Mistress before I can give you an answer," the lower-stage elderly man said to Shung Yun, "you'll get an answer within the next two[2] hours."
"Alright," Shung Yun said as he continued walking forward, "thanks for giving my request a chance, senior."
"Trying to take a mile when only given an inch, a greedy fool," the middle-stage male youth cursed as he stared at Shung Yun's back.
"As long as it doesn't cost the sect much, we can turn a blind eye to it," the inner sect elder of the Flowing River Sect said to the inner sect disciple.
"Maybe, that's why others will also try to test their luck," the middle-stage male youth said before walking away.

Having two[2] hours remaining before he had to go take the doll going by the name, Ming Yi, for a walk around town, Shung Yun played the guqin and also read the manual containing many of Bai Qhan's songs as he waited.
Leaving Bai Qhan's house with the doll, he hopped on Haru's back before riding out of the ghost part of the outer sanctum of Yuhan Town.
"Already on your move, Bokan," receiving a memory from birdie after twenty[20] minutes since he came out of Bai Qhan's, Shung Yun saw young master Bokan riding with two[2] elderly men beside him.
Writing a message in a piece of paper, he rolled it before writing a second message and also rolling it after he was done.
Calling birdie through their telepathic link, he passed the rolled papers to him before informing him on what to do with them.
"Make any mistake and you will end up in my stomach," Mangro threatened as he flickered his tongue at the terrified hawk.
Quickly leaving Shung Yun's shoulder, birdie flew towards Mr. Guchun's company's building.
"Move towards the direction of the enemies," Shung Yun said to Haru as he anticipated the battle between upper-stage dantian unsealing realm cultivators.
"How sure are you that the one you're seeking for will pass through here?" the middle-stage elderly man riding at Bokan's left asked him.
"From the information I got from my informant, Shung Yun has been riding through the streets of the outer sanctum of the town for the last four[4] days within the time of five[5] to seven[7]," young master Bokan said as he looked at his father's uncle.
"Alright. I hope what you said in the ancestral hall is true. I don't want to end up wasting my time to take care of your mess," the middle-stage elderly man riding at Bokan's left said.
"I won't dare lie to my father and the elders. Guchun will surely act in order to protect the kid. And when he do, we can take care of him with enough reason at our disposal," young master Bokan said boldly to his grand-uncle.
"We can finally get rid of that threat before he breaks through to the sky-walk realm and come for us instead," the lower-stage elderly man riding at Bokan's right said as his red irises intensified.
"Young master," a middle-stage male youth previously sitting behind a rectangular window facing the street came out of his store before bowing towards young master Bokan.
"Any information?" young master Bokan asked the youth.
"I caught sight of him moving towards the direction of Mr. Guchun's company," the middle-stage male youth said with his head still bowed.
"He's making it quite easy for us," young master Bokan said before turning his wild-horse away from the middle-stage male youth and towards the direction of Mr. Guchun's company.
"Your tax for this month is cleared," he said to the middle-stage male youth before riding away with his two[2] elders.
"Thank you, young master," the middle-stage male youth kowtowed towards young master Bokan with joy radiating off his face.
"Senior," Shung Yun hurriedly leaped down from Haru's back as he struggled to breath, "they.., he.., y..young master Bo…kan, h..he's co..ming with two[2] el…elders."
"Calm down, kid," Mr. Guchun said as he comforted Shung Yun, "I got your message. With Tuo Huiwen with me, I can claim to hold my own against one of the elders together with Bokan."
"That would really be interesting to watch," Shung Yun thought as he supported his body by placing his hands on his knees.
Looking up at Mr. Guchun, he said, "al..alright."
"So, he could be scared too," Mr. Guchun thought as he looked the trembling Shung Yun.
"They're here," Tuo Huiwen said after three[3] minutes since Shung Yun arrived.
"He's really here," the middle-stage elderly man riding at young master Bokan's left muttered as he glared at Mr. Guchun.
"Shung Yun, have you reconsidered my offer?" young master Bokan asked as he stopped a few meters from Shung Yun.
"I..I've already t..told you before. I'm n..not selling Haru," Shung Yun said as he stuttered while trying to catch his breathe.
"Despite my effort to reason with you, you've refused to give heed to my pleas, Shung Yun," young master Bokan said as he walked towards Shung Yun after coming down from his wild-horse, "for the sake of my father and for my family, I have no choice but to challenge you to a duel. The winner will get the rights to your wild-horse."
