Chapter 12 - Ch 12

That night a deal was made, Zhou Shen will buy a shop for Ling Qi near Western gate of the capital with well made Smithy for use. There he will deliver weapons that need modification and he will never try to find out how or who was making the weapon. His job was to submit client request to Hwa Hwa on Saturday of every 2 weeks.

He will receive commission of 40% profit and 60% will go to HwaHwa. Initially they planned to use weapon left by old Master Zhou. Later after they earned some revenue,they will hire employees to make the weapons as per clients demand and further they will modify it.

When HwaHwa left Zhou Shen was in daze. He only knew that what he attained today will make him regain the glory his ancestors deserved and this way he may wash away his sins.

From that day forward a new news reached the general public that Old master Zhou shop was selling enhanced weapon and there quantity were less, thus expensive. The most interesting fact was that the enhancement made in the weapon could vary depending on the users demand. Thus no one knew what capability does the other weapon had. Ensuring the chances for the victory for the user.

Now morning to evening people waited outside the door despite the information that only 5 weapon will be modified per day.

Soon, with the revenue earned they bought an apprentice to make weapon from the scratch and Zhou Shen supervised those weapon created under him.

Just like that 3 month passed and as usual the servants in the main mansion stopped getting affected by Ling Qi and their daily necessities became sparse again.

But by then HwaHwa had enough money to develop her own kitchen and daily necessities were arranged as needed.

Ling Qi acknowledged the far-fetched thoughts of her master and appreciated the new business they were developing.

At present HwaHwa was playing with the weapon Ling Qi recently modified. First 4 days of the week, they stealthily entered the Smithy shop purchased for them and made the weapon as demand rose.

They were steadily earning money which was equally divided among both of them.

HwaHwa looked at Ling Qi " LinLin change your clothes we are going out we need to find more ways to earn money".

Looking at the question in her eyes HwaHwa explained " never bet your fortune on single card. This is like waiting for disaster to happen. Now that we have enough saving we need to expand and the final thing that I want will require money".

Nodding they quickly changed themselves, to hide themselves better they quickly wore the getup of a beggar lady with her daughter roaming on the streets of the capital.

They explored all the streets of the capital city to explore more avenues, even the brothel area of the capital was explored by them.There they encountered four masked man stopping a carriage .

HwaHwa pulled Ling Qi to hide. Behind the trees. They took note of the carriage that it had a bird symbol engraved on it and the material it was made from indicated it was built for someone rich and noble.

One of the man acted fast as he disabled the driver. HwaHwa looked at Ling Qi "divert them I will look for help around if I take less than one fourth of incense I want you to escape. No one is worth helping if it endagers us".

Ling Qi nodded as they both parted around the carriage.HwaHwa exited the street where she found the soldiers of royal troop. But they looked to be uncaring and without any interest to help other.

Still she approached them " Sir, please listen to me I need to inform something".

Looking at the little beggar girl they had a disdain on their faces as they got ready to throw her away from the street.
