Chapter 47: Rebellion

[Hei Feng]

"Shi Fu," a man wearing a brown robe said. The man in front of him wore brown and had a jade ring on his right hand.

"I had scouted the bottom of the cliff and although Cao Xin has escaped, I found another person. I think he is Xiao Zhao. I have brought him back. He is currently locked in the dungeon."

"Good, very good. Let me take a look." The man strode to the dungeon. Upons seeing Xiao Zhao he ordered, "Rewire his memory. In the future, we can use him."

"As you wish, Shi Fu."

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Shi Fu, everything is ready. We are waiting for your order," the man bowed.

"Good very good."

Pause.

"Did you find his sister?"

"Shi Fu, we have found his sister," he held up his hands and bowed his head.

"Has Mo Ran made any movements?"

"Shi Fu, as of now, Mo Ran has not made any moves."

"Humph. I knew he wouldn't be reliable. Never mind that. Good thing we have a plan b."

"Shi Fu, what is that?"

"He calls me his Yi Fu and therefore obeys me. But ever since he's gone south with those two, he has started to disobey me."

"Shi Fu, you want to give him a push?"

"Yes."

"What are we going to do this time? Shall we start a fire?"

"Yes. And we will start a big one."

"Shi Fu you mean..."

He nodded. "Kill her."

"I understand," the man exited.

Yi Fu stared and then smirked. "Mo Ran, as soon as you find out your sister has died, you will go crazy. By then, the whole world will belong to Hei Feng."

[Xi Feng]

"Shi Fu Cao Xin has arrived."

"Ahh, it's my favorite student. How did the mission go?" The shadow asked.

"It went better than expected. You were right, Master. The cliff was a good play to take action. Although it looks like a big fall due to the clouds, it's not that dangerous. I barely got scratched. Though, for him it's different."

"Who's him?"

"Luo Xiao Zhao."

"Ahhh Empress' Yue Yang's son?"

Cao Xin nodded.

"Is he still alive?"

"When I went to check, he was no longer breathing," Cao Xin replied.

"Is everything ready?"

"I have already sent people to kill Ru Xiang, and then I blamed it on the Emperor."

"Good, very good."

"Rest assured, Shi Fu. Soon, the world will belong to the Xi Feng."

"You may take your leave."

"Yes Shi Fu."

The figure behind the curtain nodded. "Take your leave," it said as it waved its hand.

"Cao Xin will leave," with that Cao Xin turned his back to the master, a sinister smile crossed his lips.
