Although the relationship between the Fu and Xiao families was far from peaceful however Fu Ying couldn't deny that the Xiao family had considerable talent like Xiao Wan Zu the second son of Xiao Bo Zhi, he was a lieutenant general under Xiao Bo Zhi's army apart from being a little hot-tempered Xiao Wan Zu was a fairly talented warrior who was recognized by the senior generals in the kingdom.

There is also Xiao Zu Ke who is The  Ministry of Personnel or Appointments, unlike his father and younger brother Xiao Zu Ke is more sophisticated, calm, and refined from the outside so it is difficult for his opponent to notice his scheme therefore he was much more dangerous than anyone at the Xiao family.

Xiao Zu Ke was also the reason why Fu Ying's position was stuck as a mere captain for so many years despite his obvious achievements and talents. Fu Ying didn't like the Xiao family but having someone like the Xiao family is a good addition to Liang Zu's political strength, that's why Ming Yue Yin didn't get rid of the Xiao family completely and only decreased their influence in the country.

Even so, Xiao Bo Zi's decision might lead to the destruction of the Xiao family, nevertheless, it would become Liang Zu's kingdom loss. 

"What do you think they want from the misty lake clan?" Fu Ying's brows snapped together, he knew the relationship between Jin Kai and Lao Min Na so he was quite unsettling with what they had planned together.

Ming Yue Yin crossed her legs as she placed her hands on her stomach and pondered quietly. Meanwhile, Su Yi poured a cup of warm tea on the table next to her. Ming Yue Yin raised the teacup, her expression darkened, "There are two things that Lao Min Na can offer, first, it will be a questionable pill to increase one's cultivation but we all know the bad side of the pill, and the second is the Hybrid Beast she nurtured with that Demon blood" 

"I understand about pills but why would they want that Beast too, what's the point of having such a beast, who would they want to fight it with?" Fu Ying didn't understand what Xiao Bo Zi wanted to do with the monstrous beast, Is it to create trouble for the kingdom and then appoint himself to solve the problem so that they can gain merit from the kingdom and fame? although it's a good idea, however, is it necessary to take such a risk.

"Single-minded beasts that can neither feel pain nor fear not even fatigue, beasts that move only with the instinct to kill everything they see, bloodthirsty creatures without thoughts that can be completely controlled…" Zhang Yu Hong stroked his long gray beard with a tense expression.

"Needless to say Hybrid beasts are powerful weapons, and the reason the Xiao family bought such a powerful weapon can only be one thing…" The old man turned his serious gaze towards Ming Yue Yin.

Ming Yue Yin slowly took a sip of her tea then placed her teacup gently on the table, a smirk crept on her lips as her face turned cold "Rebellion…"

In the mids of chaos between the faction another problem also add to the mix and that problem is Yang Qiou Xi. She had been dressed carefully because she heard Long Ming didn't like women who dressed too fancy, he also didn't like women who wore too much jewelry especially women who wore heavy makeup.

Therefore Yang Qiou Xi chose simple clothes but still looked elegant and poise, she also didn't wear a lot of jewelry just a pair of pearl earrings and a flower jade hairpin, her face was also free of makeup only a light layer of powder and a little rouge to color her lips, frankly she looked very pretty.

Yang Qiou Xi came with his maid in front of the adjunction door between Yang Xi Ying Manor and Lory. She knew she wouldn't able to enter Zhao Li Xin Manor from the front door so she make an excused to stay in Yang Xi Ying Manor so she can secretly enter Zhao Li Xin Manor.

Yang Qiou Xi carefully opened the door, she peeked behind the door and was relieved that no one was guarding the door. Shee felt excited and nervous at the same time, she had already prepared an excuse to visit Zhao Li Xin Manor,

Yang Qiou Xi knew the target was Long Ming's wife so she intended to meet Lory first event though it wouldn't be bad if she could meet Zhao Li Xin too, but how she could find Long Ming wife or Long Ming himself in a place this big.

When Yang Qiou Xi looked around with a worried face he didn't see anyone watching him from the roof, it was Lory sitting on the roof with Girsha perched on her shoulder and Mong Yi standing beside Lory.

"Should we kick out the intruders right now, young madam?" Mong Yi asked.

Lory placed her hands on her knees as she supported her chin as she watched Yang Qiou Zi and her maid enter the main garden. As Yang Qiao Xi was only fourteen years old, she did not take her seriously, after all, she was Yang Xi Ying's half-sister even though their relationship was not good, they were still sisters. 

"Why are you so ruthless like your lord, Mong Yi" Lory laugh at him.

Mong Yi curled his mouth down disapprovingly "Madam if I had liked my lord, I would already have broken her legs for trespassing our territory" he explained.

Lory's brows twitched, it sounded like Zhao Li Xin would do. Zhao Li Xin rarely showed his cruel side in front of Lory maybe he was hiding his dark side from her on purpose, but Lory didn't understand why Zhao Li Xin needed to hide anything from her is not like she would hate him if she saw his dark side. Lory wasn't an innocent woman who never spilled any blood on her hands, in the past she's been involved in a war, and in a war, she had to make a decision for the greater good, and that sometimes forces her to make hard decision.

As she had said before, if Lory had to choose between other people or Zhao Li Xin, she would choose Zhao Li Xin in an instant. Zhao Li Xin probably didn't realize how biased she was towards her loved ones therefore Lory never think herself as a martyr or saint because everything she had done is driven by her own selfishness called love.

Lory took a deep breath as her eyes fell on Yang Qiou Ru, she wondered what made this young lady so daring to enter Hei Shen's place.

"What should we do, young lady?" Mong Yi waits for her order. 

Lory's eyes flickered "Well, as good hostess I should welcome our guest isn't it" Lory simpered seemingly pleased with herself.

Girsha roll his green eyes and quipped [How kind of you…]

[Yeah, I know] Lory shamelessly acclaimed herself.

Lory rubs her left wrist, immediately activate the shapeshifter spell and her appearance instantly change, Lory then turns her head at Mong Yi and grinned widely "Prepare the tea and cake at the main hall" Lory then casually jump from the rooftop without waiting for Mong Yi answer.

Mong Yi watches Lory land on the ground smoothly then prance in the same direction as Yang Qiou Xi. Mong Yi scratch his head and sighed, then he jump and run to the manor to carry out Lory's order. 

[You know that girl is no good, right] Girsha still warned her even though he was sure Lory knew.

[Yup!] Lory clasped her hands behind her back and giggled.

[So why…forget it, you're bored right] Girsha tiredly said.

Lory pouted her lips offended she made him look like an idle person who likes to cause trouble [Hey, what kind of person do you think I am?]

[Someone who fought the Minotaur, because there's nothing good on tv!] Girsha answers readily, he remembers the day they lived in a strange place during their school trip.

When Lory had nothing else to do in her hotel room, she coincidentally got a notification from the hunting guild about a high-level Beast roaming nearby, and just like that Lory accepted the request and headed off into the wilderness.

[That's not true, I fought because I wanted to test my strength!] she justifies herself but then Girsha's doubtful gaze made her feel guilty [And... 'The journey to the west' was canceled so...] she mutters quietly.

[So you went to the wilderness to find the biggest monster in the forest to play with!] Girsha let out a loud reproach for her past actions.

[You talk like that's a bad thing when in fact I'm helping the community by keeping them safe] Lory make a righteous comment.

[At the same time you relieve your boredom] Girsha broke her statement easily. 

[....] she had no way of denying that, what could she say she was a little addicted to adrenaline.

Lory quickened her pace fearing Girsha's incessant nagging, Lory found it amazing whether it was humans or animals when they got older they all became chatty if that so she would rather play with Yang Qiou Xi.

"Who are you? You shouldn't be here!" Lory furrowed her to make her look more intimidating.

Yang Qiou Xi was taken aback, she reflexively turned around and saw Lory standing with a sullen face, "I'm so...sorry, I'm, Yang Xi Ying younger sister, I...I came here to see Madam Zhao"

Lory narrows her eyes inquisitively "Yang Xi Ying younger sister?"
