Arriving at the study room Mong Ki was waiting with a pile of report papers, Zhao Li Xin's expression stiffened he stepped over to the large table at the far end of the room then pulled out the chair before he take a sit, meanwhile Mong Yi quickly handed the report papers to Zhao Li Xin as he started to deliver his report.

"Mong Liu tried to track down Master Lu's whereabouts, unfortunately, once he reached the river, the traces were completely gone, it seems they used a boat to move little Master Lu," Mong Yi's shoulders slumped with regret.

Zhao Li Xin's eyes were fixed on the paper, it was said the enemy had been gone for two days when Mong Liu and the others arrived at the scene, usually in two Mong Liu should be able to catch up to them but their enemy managed to outwit Mong Liu, even though Zhao Li Xin was annoyed at him. had to admit that their enemy was smarter than he thought.

Zhao Li Xin put down the paper then leaned his back on the chair and he shift his gaze at Mong Ki, "What about Bai Zi, is the beast awake, yet?"

"Unfortunately, the beast is still unconscious... the injuries it received were too severe even Master Jin Hao wasn't sure if he could save the white tiger" Mong Ki answer dejectedly.

"Milord should we ask Young Madam for help?" there was a glint of concern on Mong Ki's face, it was clear he was worried despite his cool appearance.

Zhao Li Xin clenched her jaw, if Lory knew what had happened to that boy….she didn't even dare to imagine it.

"That bastard dares to take my people" Zhao Li Xin growled as his eyes filled with hatred.

"Although the situation is dire at least little master Lu seems to be alive, I guess Wei Zu Tian wants to use master lu to threaten us" Mong Ki tries to be positive even though the last sentence sounds unconvincing.

Zhao Li Xin also agreed with Mong Ki, "Anyway, find out where Shin Jiu is being held!" his mouth formed a firm line, it was his mistake to send Shin Jiu away on a secret task, he didn't expect Wei Zu Tian to kidnap one of his men...then again why they choose Shin Jiu?

"Yes, my lord" Mong Ki and Mong Yi cupped their fists at the same time.

"Oh yes, my lord!" Mong Ki suddenly raised his head "Master Shin Jiu managed to contact shadow tiger tribe chief Huwang Lo before he was kidnapped, Huwang Lo himself had contacted us through Mong Liu, he said the entire Shadow Beast Clan agreed to land their hands on the Hybrid Beast matters. The great Hwang Shen Zi also expressed his concern about Lao Min Na and her insidious creatures."

"Well, at least something good comes out of it" Zhao Li Xin's taut expression slightly relaxed.

"How about Young madam, should we tell her what happened....? I'm afraid Madam will be angry with us if she knew we hide this matter from her" Mong Yi threw the question again.

Mong Yi knew Lory really cares about the people around her so Mong Yi is sure Lory will be angry with them if she finds out they keep her in the dark.

Zhao Li Xin rubbed his temples in exasperation as he fell into the dilemma of what to do.

____________________________

While Zhao Li Xin was dizzy with her problems, in a secluded villa far from the bustling city of Sun Jan, Jin Hao was seen getting off the horse carriage accompanied by Yuan Xue An as he walked to the villa with a frown on his face.

Jin Hao was greeted by Cha Hua and Lan Hua, two of Bei Li Yan's subordinates, both women wearing red hanfu that differed only in the pattern of their red dresses.

"Good evening Mr. Jin, Miss Yuan, Mr. Bei is waiting for you" Cha Hua cordially greeted Jin Hao

Yuan Xue An looked around then said in awe, "I didn't know there was a Villa full of tiger claw trees?"

Tiger claw tree This is a thorny deciduous tree that grows to 27 m. The leaves are pinnate with petioles of 20 cm and three leaflets, each leaflet up to 20 cm long and wide. It had dense clusters of red flowers and black seeds, it was not an ordinary tree so Yuan Xue An was surprised she saw many tiger claw trees in one place.

"Does Miss Yuan like it? Master Bei bought this Villa just two days ago the building may be a bit small but the view is great" Lan Hua nudged Yuan Xue Arms and giggled.

Yuan Xue An nodded deeply, "En, I really like this place, how about I ask Master Bei's permission to stay for a few days"

Lan Hua clapped her hands and exclaimed, "That's a good idea, I didn't think Master Bei would mind!"

Ever since he became Jin Hao's assistant, Yuan Xue An had frequent contact with people from other palaces and he had the most contact with Bei Li Yan's men.

At first Yuan Xue An was afraid to meet Bei Li Yan's four flowers because of the sinister rumors circulating about them, but after meeting them it turned out that they were not at all like the rumors circulating, not only were they friendly, bubbly, and carefree but they also very attentive and caring thus they easily become good friends.

"No!" Jin Hao suddenly refuted, "How could an unmarried girl live in the house of a man who is neither her husband nor fiancé, what would people think?!"

Yuan Xue An's face sank, she looked down and pouted, "Since when do we worry about what people say?" she grumbled softly, isn't that the point of being a member of Hei Shen, living as you please and never caring about what other people say.

Jin Hao who had high cultivation could hear Yuan Xue An complaint clearly then two pairs of black eyes filled with fury shot daggers at Yuan Xue An, "You are a young woman, even Bei Li Yan doesn't look like a man you can't let your guard down, men are men they all have the same needs, if something happens it will be too late to regret!"

Cha Hua and Lan Hua exchanged glances, the part was that Bei Li Yan didn't look like a man who should never reach their master ears or else their Master would make a fuss.

Meanwhile, Yuan Xue An was annoyed, she knew very well that the four characters of the King's palace very well, for all she knew none of the King's palace ever involved with women even though the Hei Shen sect never lacked beauty just look at Vermillion Palace, what kind of beauty is not there, but none of them cared instead they focused all their attention on their own hobbies.

"Didn't I live with you… should I keep my guard around you too" Yuan Xue An scoffed as she thought Jin Hao was being unreasonable, she was sure even her brother wouldn't mind if not he wouldn't let her stay at Hei Shen Sect while he was gone.

"That's different, you are my assistant!" Jin Hao stated the facts unequivocally.

Yuan Xue An gave Jin Hao an accusing look after she listened to his irrelevant excuses.

Cha Hua and Lan Hua covered their mouths and giggled while exchanging meaningful glances "Is it going to be spring for their master after their Lord? Would God finally grant this old bachelor a good wife after all these years? Well, let's all pray together.

"Hey, who's making a fuss at my place!" Bei Li Yan's voice rang suddenly he appeared with one of his arms resting on his hips then he swag towards Jin Hao and the others, "I heard someone say that I'm not a man?" his lips curled into an eerie smile.

Jin Hao didn't flinch as he looked at Bei Li Yan with disdain "What kind of man wears rouge and powder"

"What? This is my natural skin." Bei Li Yan gently cupped his beautiful face while shamelessly lying through his teeth.

"Natural my as*, you look like a eunuch!" Jin Hao snorted.

"Huh, you only hate me because I'm beautiful!" if other people proclaimed themselves like Bei Li Yan other people would say they were conceited or shameless but when it comes to Bei Li Yan everyone has to admit that Bei Li Yan was undeniably stunning unlike other King palaces or Zhao Li Xin, Bei Li Yan's appearance was very sexy and seductive it was almost bewitching so of course not only women even men will be captivated by him.

"Master Bei, may I ask why you summoned us?" Yuan Xue An immediately stood between Jin Hao and Bei Li Yan.

Seeing Yuan Xue An worried face the corners of Bei Li Yan's eyes crinkles in amusement "Ah, right... there is something important, please follow me" Bei Li Yan said but suddenly he stopped and shifted his eyes back to Yuan Xue An "By the way Miss Yuan, if you want to stay here, just come over, you don't need my permission" Bei Li Yan smiled flirtatiously.

Yuan Xue An's face brightened, "Thank you, Master Bei, I will..."

"NOT COME!" interrupted Jin Hao.

"...." 

Yuan Xue An's lips twitched and Jin Hao gave her side-eye while Bei Li Yan waved his hand nonchalantly.
