Chapter 113 - 111. Secret Message II

Third person POV

Later when Hong er opened her eyes, she noticed that she was back in her room. She sat up and rubbed her swollen eyes to clear out her sleepiness. Meiyun heard a movement from inside of the room, she lightly knocked the door and asked.

Meiyun: " Young Miss, are you awake?"

Hong er: " Uhm."

Meiyun entered the room and poured a cup of water for Hong er. Hong er took the cup and asked.

Hong er: " What time is it?"

Meiyun: " It is 5 Am, Young Miss."

Hong er: " Hoo~ Hm? Where is Huayun?"

Meiyun: " My apologies on my sister's behalf, Young Miss. I brought her to her room to take a rest as she fell asleep when she was on duty."

Meiyun knelt and kowtowed but before her forehead could touch the floor, Hong er quickly lifted Meiyun up and scolded her.

Hong er: " How many times have I said that you didn't have to kneel to me? I have regarded you and Huayun as my sister."

Meiyun: " Thank you, Young Miss."

Meiyun stood up and helped Hong er to change her clothes, not long after, Huayun suddenly appeared and scolded Meiyun for not waking her up. They headed to the main hall and Lu Ping joined them in the dinner. The two guards from before stared at them with enthusiasm, the confused Huayun nudged Meiyun's arm and gave her a questioning look. But Meiyun didn't look at her nor reply to her. Knowing her sister had made some kind of weird agreement, she internally sighed and let her go.

After they finished their dinner, Xu Tingfeng talked about a lot of things to Lu Ping until he noticed the two guards were staring at the Yun sisters with sparkling eyes. Then he surprised Lu Ping with suddenly disappearing from his spot, Xu Tingfeng appeared behind the two guards without being noticed and put his arms around their neck. The two guards jumped up in surprise, they immediately whipped their head to the side to look at Xu Tingfeng.

( Everyone is using mask, except the ordinary servant.)

Xu Tingfeng: " Hey hey~ Why are you looking at them with those eyes? Hmmm~~"

Xu Tingfeng teased the panicked guards, they opened and closed their mouth repeatedly trying to get their voice out of their throat.

Ah Su: " W-w-we, no-nothing…" (Guard 1)

Xu Tingfeng: " Hm? Don't you dare to lie in my territory."

Xu Tingfeng gave them a threatening look, they gulped down their saliva when they felt Xu Tingfeng's arms tighten around their necks.

Ah Yu: " Gre-great General Xu, ple-please forgive us for being brazen but we promised someone that we will have a match."

Xu Tingfeng: " A match?"

Huayun immediately glared at Meiyun who didn't dare to meet Huayun's eyes. Xu Tingfeng looked over

Xu Tingfeng: " Who?"

Ah Su & Ah Yu: " Tha-that girl…"

They shakily pointed at Meiyun and gave her an apologetic face. But suddenly a loud voice boomed through their eardrums.

Xu Tingfeng: " HELL YEAH! Let's have a match!"

Ah Su and Ah Yu looked at Xu Tingfeng with weird eyes and turned their eyes to Meiyun, she gave them a thumb up. They thought that they would have to fight Xu Tingfeng, they were happy but scared at the same time.

Xu Tingfeng: " Ya kiddos follow me too!"

Xu Tingfeng yelled at Lu Ping and dragged the two guards to the training field. Bai Huiqing and Lu Ping could only sigh and follow Xu Tingfeng to the training field.

Xu Tingfeng threw them into the middle of the field and sat on the seat he usually sat when he observe a match. Lu Ping, Hong er and Bai Huiqing naturally sat on the seat that the servants brought for them. Ah Su and Ah Yu were bewildered with whatever happened around them, Meiyun pulled the angry Huayun to the training field with her. Lu Ping looked at the 4 people standing in the middle of the field with a sly smile.

Lu Ping: " Isn't it unfair, Great General Xu?"

Xu Tingfeng: " Hm~ Right. Hey you two! Bring your friends too! And call Xiao Ruo to come here."

Xu Tingfeng shouted at Ah Su and Ah Yu, they knew that they were not on the same level as the Yun sisters so they weren't offended by what Xu Tingfeng said. If they fight 2 on 2 with the opponent on the whole level ahead them then they would be defeated in the blink of an eye. 4 young men stepped in and formed a formation with their own weapons in their hands.

Meiyun: " What is your position in the army?"

Meiyun asked with her cheerful voice.

Ah Su: " Newbie in elite forces."

Meiyun: " Hee~~ Then I won't go easy on you."

Ah Su: " Please do so."

Little while later, Shu Zhiruo appeared at the side of the training field with her medicine box. Song Tao stepped forward and raised his hands.

Song Tao: " Ready…"

Meiyun summoned her ring swords and stood in front of Huayun while Huayun summoned her fan with knives in it.

Song Tao: " Set…"

They started to acc.u.mulate their Qi around them. Meiyun and Huayun slightly shifted their feet.

Song Tao: " Fight!"

Meiyun immediately disappeared from her spot, Ah Su and Ah Yu wanted to advance but before their feet could leave the ground, they were slammed deep to the ground with Meiyun's ring sword pressed on their neck. They coughed up blood as one of their ribs was broken. Their other 4 friends dispersed, 2 of them sprinted to Huayun and the other 2 went to Meiyun's behind. Huayun swung her fan upwards, a thick ice wall appeared behind Meiyun and around her.

Then Huayun swung her fan as water spears appeared and attacked the two men with her every swing. The two men were pushed by Huayun's attacks, they gritted their teeth and nodded at each other before they slammed down their fists down to the ground. Huayun's legs were suddenly locked by rocks and her ice wall changed into humongous trees as it slowly swallows Huayun down to the ground.

Huayun: ' Hoo~ Wood and rock…'

While Huayun was being sucked to the ground, Meiyun was battling with 4 people while laughing hysterically. They knew that Meiyun didn't use her full power yet, they wanted to corner her so she would fight them seriously. They growled as the Qi around them started to build up, they raised their weapons to the sky as the cloud started to whirl above them and purple lightning crackled around one of the 4 men. Behind her a firestorm and sandstorm started to approach her while the man in front of her was creating dozens of weapons with his metal magic. A few seconds later, 4 of them roared together as their magic merged and became one and attacked Meiyun who stood in the middle.

A huge sandstorm encircled with fire, lightning, and swords, engulfed Meiyun inside of the storm. Lu Ping smiled as he glanced at the calm Hong er, he was quite amazed by Hong er's calmness.

Lu Ping: " Miss Xu, are you not worried about your personal maids?"

Hong er instantly replied without looking at him.

Hong er: " I trust them."

Lu Ping: " Ohoo~ What a faithful master."

Lu Ping muttered under his folded fan while watching the fight in front of him.
