As HwaHwa returned to the mansion she took a deep breath. She ran upto Ling Qi and held her hands " these days don't go out. Someone from the imperial troop visited Zhou Shen inquiring about those weapons. I think he was your old customer. Not only he knew your name but also La Kun ".
Ling Qi looked at HwaHwa, seeing her so worried made her realise that her young Miss was just a young lady worrying about the matters that were out her control made her anxious but her care also softened her heart. She was twenty six years old and if she was not an assassin she would have married young and had a daughter similar to the young lady.
She sighed to HwaHwa " my lady, don't worry the only person of imperial troop that know about me and La Kun is Commander Dak Shin. He is an impartial person. He met La Kun, when the emperor wanted the use of the assassins in the Shadow Clan. I was also part of the mission. He was not only a great leader but a great observer. In a few glances he understood that there was something going on between us".
Ling Qi remembered the mission where they were tasked to monitor a merchant troop that was traveling from neighbouring Kingdom. But the kingdom from it's spies received news that the troop had the first prince of neighbouring Kingdom with the information to pass on some confidential news".
There he also came across the sword that I have to La Kun when we were together. He asked me to make one for him but for unknown reason La Kun decided to intervene and instead owed him a favour for letting go the idea of making a weapon for him".
She again held the hand of HwaHwa, "even if I get the chance to leave this city I have no place where I want to be other than by your side young Miss but what I worry is that if they truly caught me I could harm you. So, let me stay hidden in the shop outside for few days when things will settle down I will come back".
HwaHwa shook her head " you always knew the life I was living here before you even if I died here other then you, no one will care for me. Stay here if they find you here I will try my best to save us if not let's take the Go mansion and perish together with them. You are not going anywhere. Promise me LinLin".
Ling Qi hugged HwaHwa and cried softly for a while. After composing each other HwaHwa informed Ling Qi about her discussion with Zhou Shen.
These next two months they will save enough money to buy jade stones and Ling Qi will train the art of secret weapon modification to Zhou Shen who will apply it on the jades they have purchased. After making enough pieces they will open a shop and establish another branch of the weapon modification, the jewellery modification for woman to avoid the situation that they saw with the carriage where a young lady when encountering hooligan had no alternative could save themselves from harm.
