His Peasant Wife : Yao Ling

Yao Ying and Lin Jian asked for their own men to retreat for a little bit. Yao Ying asked, "Why do I feel that something is quite fishy?"

Lin Jian nodded. "I feel the same way too... I’m expecting a bloody battle because I know that the other organization leader is very strong. How come this man is even weaker than that old man?" They sensed the old man’s qi and he had a little martial arts background, but Hei Yue had nothing at all. Thus, they thought that it was weird.

"Yes... Should we continue this mission?" Yao Ying asked, feeling unsure. What if this was a trap?

Lin Jian said, "We have to. We need the information... and also, didn’t we already receive the down payment?" Indeed... they already got one free question and they didn’t want to take advantage of other people. They could only grit their teeth and do their job.

They came up with an idea and relayed it to the others. It seemed like they only needed to handle the four people. They decided to let two people from their party handle one --- 2 versus 1. Yao Ying and Lin Jian would need to find the leader. They knew that they couldn’t kill the man right away. They needed to check his identity whether he was indeed the leader.

They didn’t like being played. If that really happened, they would search for the teahouse owner and make him take responsibilities. Even if they already received the down payment, they didn’t care for one bit. It was totally a different thing if the teahouse owner lied to them.

Xiao Fang’s guards had been told to follow Lin Jian and Yao Ying’s orders, so they naturally became obedient. At first, they were protesting because this wasn’t part of their jobs, but the young miss gave her added benefits if they did what she told them to do. They murmured their agreement in following their plan.

It was easier for Yao Ying and Lin Jian to give those proud Jiang Hu’s people an order.

After confirming that each person truly understood their own jobs, they started to move carefully. Even if they knew the enemies’ power, they needed to be cautious. If they could sense their qi, then the other party was able to do the same too. They already guessed that the people inside must have been waiting for them to arrive.

They jumped up to the roof and carefully landed on the sturdy one. Yao Ying and Lin Jian went up from the front along with Xiu and one of the other guards with their qing gong, while the others came up from the sides and the back.

When Yao Ying and Lin Jian were going to come down, they were attacked by a few flying daggers. They didn’t seem that surprised and easily dodged by doing a flip in the air and jumped down.

"Who are you?" A young man waited for them on the front courtyard, asking with a lazy aura. The man wore a dark blue outer robe. He was quite handsome with his rugged appearance. His eyes showed a menacing aura when looking at them and his hands were holding a few flying daggers. He didn’t feel afraid of their sudden appearance, showing that this man was quite confident with his own skills.

"We are here for Hei Yue, but before that, we need to make sure that we have the right person. Brother, if we can... we want to minimize the damage... Why don’t we have a peaceful talk?" Yao Ying asked.

"Coming here in the middle of the night using that get-up, I don’t think that you have good intention. Whether it’s Hei Yue or not, I will not tell you. If you want to reach him, you have to step over my dead body!" The young man said in a loud voice.

His lazy demeanor suddenly changed into a serious one and his movement suddenly became very fast. They could hardly see his movement. He attacked once with his flying dagger and Xiao Fang’s guard fell down. Xiu took a glance at the fallen man and saw that he was stabbed by the enemy, but it wasn’t at a lethal part of his body. It seemed like the man didn’t have any intention to kill them. However, the trio didn’t dare to lower their defense.

They attacked the man at the same time. They chose different spots to hinder the man movement, but it seemed hard to do so. Their swords were moving so fast that people would only see a sliver of light but the young man moved even faster than them. He used his right hand to stop Lin Jian’s sword while using only his thumb and index finger to stop Xiu’s sword. To stop Yao Ying, he moved for a little bit and let the sword pass beside his waist, making a hole on his outer robe.

He used his inner qi and easily broke Xiu’s sword using only his thumb and index finger without batting eyelashes. He pulled his right hand and used his palm to attack Lin Jian’s chest with his own inner qi. He jumped up, not caring about his wrecked outer robe and used his foot to stomp on Yao Ying’s sword, making the sword break down into several small pieces. It showed how strong his inner qi was.

The trio was surprised by the man’s high skill. Lin Jian was hurt by the man’s inner qi and he spat a mouthful of blood, but it was nothing to him --- only a minor injury.

Lin Jian looked at Yao Ying and both had a tacit understanding of what they should do next. Lin Jian and Xiu moved smoothly, trying to attack the young man together once more. They used their own inner qi instead of their swords, trying to find a loophole from the man’s defense. Once Yao Ying saw an opening, he quickly passed by the man and went to the house. He wanted directly to meet this so-called Hei Yue.

The young man thought all of them were going to attack them all at once, but instead, the two became decoys and one of them tried to stealthily pass through him. He understood that although he appeared to have the upper hand, with the three of them were attacking him together... sooner or later, his strength would be depleted. He was quite surprised by their sudden change of tactic.

He gritted his teeth and did a back flip, trying to hold Yao Ying back. However, before the man was able to do so, Lin Jian and Xiu didn’t stop attacking him for once. They didn’t want to give an opening to the man and let him hold Yao Ying back from meeting Hei Yue. The man wasn’t able to free himself from Xiu and Lin Jian. He thought of another strategy.

He would finish these two people off and then quickly chased the man who had just passed by him. However, he seemed to underestimate the two men’s skills. He wasn’t able to release himself anytime soon.

Yao Ying could hear the sound of fighting that surrounded the house and knew that each of them was fighting to the death. He arrived at the door and he could sense the presence of the person inside. Hei Yue... Yao Ying was somehow baffled... why did this mission look so easy? He knew that something was indeed wrong.

He hesitated at first, but finally decided to open the door with both of his hands. The man sat silently while calmly drank a cup of tea. Just like the old man said, he was able to tell at first glance this man was Hei Yue due to his black skin. It was slightly darker than tan and for the people in their kingdom --- it was quite rare skin color.

"Are you Hei Yue?" Yao Ying asked.

The man looked up and then looked at Yao Ying in the eyes, "Yes..." There was no fear in Hei Yue’s eyes. It was just like he was talking to an ordinary friend who came for a visit.

Hei Yue asked while tilting his head to the side, "Why are you barging in here and trying to kill me? Did someone tell you to do that?"
