The horse in front of the carriage stood on its hind legs before it rushed past everything and everyone. Seeing the carriage run past Jia Li clicked her tongue and then turned to look at Li Gang and Grandma Lan Fen before saying, ” He will be so mad once he finds out that he won’t be able to get away from the punishment that is coming for him.”

Li Gang rolled his shoulders and then cracked his knuckles as he tilted his neck side by side before he remarked, ” He is going to get what he deserves, does he think that this is fun? Ruining a woman’s life and then even killing her so brutally? He deserves this.”

” You are right dear,” for the first time even Grandma Lan Fen looked really mad, she glared at the carriage that was driving away and then harrumphed. ” I am going to make sure that this man gets what he deserves no matter what!”

Jia Li grinned as she floated up in the air and then said, ” Then shall we go? We have a criminal to catch !”

....

Scholar Wei did not know that he had three trackers after him, he rushed to the small house where he and his disciple lived together, away from the imperial city. Throughout the entire time he did not even stop his carriage for one second not even when he saw that the people were on the verge of getting squashed by him, he kept driving his carriage like he was wishing it to fly in the air and then barged inside the house where he, Master Ren and Xiao Mi, the maid lived.

Because he was in a hurry, he did not wait for the guards to open the gates of his house, instead, he barged inside the house like he was flying inside, crashing against the door that was at the front of the house causing a loud noise to echo in the silence of the surrounding.

” What was that?” Scholar Ren looked up from the calligraphy on which he was working hard and then looked at Xiao Mi who was grinding ink. She looked at him and shook her head, telling him that she did not know what was going on which was why Scholar Ren stood up from the cushion on which he was sitting and walked over to the sliding door. But the second he reached the sliding door, he was surprised to see that the door was pushed open in a hurry and the one who was standing outside the door was none other than his master, Scholar Wei.

.....

” What is wrong, master?” Ren Wei asked as he looked at Scholar Wei who was panting, he looked at his master and then glanced behind his master. Why was it that his master was running like someone was after him? Did something happen?

” Wei’er, we have to run!” Scholar Wei immediately caught hold of Ren Wei’s collar and he pulled him towards him. ” We have to run away, we have been found out, the Emperor ..the Emperor knows that we were the ones who killed his aunt, we have to get away from here. Hurry before he comes here!”

Ren Wei’s eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Mi whose eyes were as big as saucers, she looked back at him and then rushed towards the cabinet where they kept their money and other precious things.

While she was taking the money out, Ren Wei turned to look at his master before he asked, ” What is going on? How did the Emperor find out about it after so long? It has been so many months already!”

They killed Zhai Chenguang months ago, how was it possible for the Emperor to find out about what happened to Zhai Chenguang, after so long?

” I do...don’t know,” Scholar Wei panted as he placed his hand on Ren Wei’s shoulders and then blinked his eyes while sucking as much breath as he could, he has been rushing the carriage so fast that his entire body was hurting. He was a scholar and did not have much strength to fight against things much less run like his life depended on it.

He ground his teeth, as he thought about the man who has let his secret out. ” I don’t know where the Emperor got another friend from, he found out that I am not a man the second he saw me. And the second he found out that I am not a man, he went on and on unravelling one thing after another, I believe that we did not fool that heir of the throne at all, that man was already doubtful of us. He might have been waiting for that sly fox to come back.”

“Sly fox? Are you talking about me?” A new voice joined them and Scholar Wei’s eyes widened as he whipped his head around and looked at Liu Hui Ying who was standing behind him. ” You...”

” Hello,” Liu Hui Ying smiled at him as she made a hand seal and summoned a long chain scythe, this was the weapon that she used in the modern world but because there were certain laws that barred the killing of humans, she could not use it that much but now that she no longer need to restrain herself, she was no longer hesitant at all. ” I am here because Zhai Chenguang sent me here to make you three suffer.”

Ren Wei and Scholar Wei stepped inside the room while Xiao Mi dropped the money that was in her hands.

Wei De’s eyes quivered as he looked at the man in front of him with trembling lips as his complexion turned pale. ” You are lying,” he spoke in a hurry as soon as he realised what Liu Hui Ying finished speaking, he was in such a hurry that he ended up stumbling over his words. ” That woman is dead! She is in hell.”

” Who said that?”Liu Hui Ying asked as she rotated the chain scythe in her hands with a devil-like smile on her face as she threw it at Wei Dei’s legs and looped it around such that the sharp blade dug into his skin. ” She is here right next to you and is sending her regards to you.” And then she pulled the scythe causing Wei De’s leg to be torn in half.
