After the preliminary tests were over, everyone headed off to the bars to drink.
That included Lin Fan and Mu Bao Bao who were swept up in the crowd.
They had to keep up the act that they were normal people, so they went to do what normal people did.
But beneath the surface, there were many different powers that were moving.
It was a night that saw many people moving in this Floating Seed City.
…
“Do whatever you can to find out who this girl is!”
Young Master Tai slammed his fist into the table, cracking it in half as he said this.
The servants who were in front of him all couldn’t help taking a step back when they saw this.
They knew what the young master was enraged about, but not a single one of them was able to quell that rage. So the only thing that they could do was agree with the young master and hope that his rage settled.
However, Young Master Tai’s ugly expression stayed on his face as he looked around for something else to smash.
Today was a day that he wouldn’t forget since it was his first time being embarrassed by someone like this.
Even if he had his pride, he could understand if he wasn’t the best at everything. He had been taught that at a young age and he was a young master who wasn’t a fool, so he could have accepted it if it was just a bit better.
But this girl was just too strong for him to accept.
The difference was like a slap to the face and his pride just couldn’t accept it.
There was a part of him that would calm down unless he took his revenge.
But that was also why he was so angry.
He couldn’t take his revenge yet because he didn’t know who the other side was.
The other side had entered the tournament as a seeded contestant, so it was easy to get the information on them from the organizers. However, he knew that this information was a lie.
The identity that this girl had was one that was easy to check and he found that…this girl wasn’t who she said she was.
The one that had this identity had stayed in the sect and had gone into closed door training according to his spies. Since the real one was in closed door training, that meant that someone had taken their identity to enter this tournament.
Not to mention, the sect that the actual person belonged to didn’t make a fuss…𝐎𝔳𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t
That meant that the status of this person was powerful enough that they didn’t dare do anything to her.
Even if he was angered by the fact that she had basically slapped him in the face, he still had his rationality. He wasn’t an angry bull that would only know how to charge forward, he knew that he had to bide his time and find the right time to strike back.
So he had sent his people out to find the identity of this girl.
It was just too bad that not a single one of them was able to find a single clue as to her real identity.
Since he couldn’t do anything, the only thing that he could do was vent his anger on the things around him.
After finding a chair, he threw it at his subordinates who were kneeling there.
Even though this chair was thrown right at them, not a single one of them dared to dodge out of the way. They just stood there as they let the chair hit them head on and shatter to pieces.
However, even after the chair shattered, not a single thing happened to these people.
They were subordinates of Young Master Tai, so not a single one of them was weak. They could easily block a chair with their body, especially since Young Master Tai didn’t throw it that hard in the first place.
Young Master Tai went on to shatter a few more things in the room before finally calming down. He panted a few times before taking a deep breath and saying, “Have them investigate further. I don’t care what methods you use, just get me the information that I want.”
Hearing this, the subordinates acted like they had been pardoned.
If Young Master Tai didn’t give them the order, the only thing that they could do was stay kneeling there. But once he did give the order, they could pass it on to the subordinates and didn’t need to stay there any longer.
So they didn’t waste any time to leave the room.
It didn’t take long before it was only Young Master Tai who was left in the room.
Once he was alone, his face twisted again and he grabbed at his hair. He tousled that hair a few times before suddenly grabbing another chair and slamming it into the wall, shattering it to pieces.
Since his subordinates were gone, there was no longer a need for him to hold back the rage that he felt.
He vented that rage on the room around him, completely destroying it.
By the time that he was finished, there wasn’t a single thing that was left untouched in the surrounding area.
Then when he left, he told his subordinates who were waiting outside to clean up the mess.
Since this place had been destroyed, there was no way for him to stay in this place.
In other parts of the city, the same thing was happening in two different rooms.
These were the rooms of Young Master He and Young Master Mo who had been shamed the same way as Young Master Tai.
They gave the same orders to their servants to collect information on the girl who had shamed them and then went on to destroy the rooms that they had been in, just like what Young Master Tai had done.
They thought that no one had seen them doing this, but…
There were people who had been lurking in the dark watching everything.
Once they had seen everything there was to see, they reported back to their superiors who then reported to…
“Hmm, good work. Keep watching over the three of them just in case they want to do anything.” An old butler said to the spies that were kneeling in front of him.
The spies all bowed their heads and cupped their hands to this person before disappearing without a trace again.
The old butler didn’t move after these spies disappeared. Instead, he just stood there looking at the reports that were in his hand and the more he read them, the more that he knitted his brows.
After standing there in silence for a bit, the old butler went into the house behind him and came to a certain room.
He knocked on the door and said, “Young miss, may I come in?”
“Come in.” That came from inside the room.
With this acknowledgement, the old butler didn’t hold back at all as he twisted the knob and entered the room.
The owner of the voice was currently sitting on the bed looking over something in her hands. The old butler didn’t pry, but he could tell from a glance that these were separate reports from spies.
The old butler couldn’t help knitting his brows when he saw this, but then he asked in a calm voice, “Young miss, is something wrong?”
The girl on the bed put the pieces of paper away and then said with a cough, “Nothing. What is it?”
The old butler didn’t push this matter and brought forth the pieces of paper that he had received from the spies, presenting them to the young miss without saying a thing.
The young miss took them and after reading them, she didn’t knit her brows like the old butler had done. Instead, she just tossed the pieces of paper to the side and said, “You don’t need to bother me with these trivial matters. You can just take care of them yourself.”
But this time, the old butler didn’t back down as he said, “Young miss, this isn’t a trivial matter.”
Seeing the firm look on his face, the young miss couldn’t help being surprised. But then she asked in a curious voice, “Why do you think that this isn’t a trivial matter.”
The old butler said with the same serious look, “This is a matter that the sect assigned you, you can’t just neglect it like this. If you can complete this matter, your future will be limitless.”
The young miss looked at the old butler for a few seconds before slowly giving a nod.
Even though she believed that she could easily take care of this matter, she did agree that the old butler had a point.
Instead of being callous, it was better to be prudent.
She had wanted to avoid it because it would mean a lot more work for her, but the old butler was right. It was better to take care of this matter herself just in case anything went wrong since this was an important matter to the sect.
So after thinking this, she said, “Bring it to Yue Lei and let her handle it.”
The old butler gave a satisfied nod when he heard this and then he gave a bow before leaving.
The young miss didn’t mind as she turned her attention to the report that she was reading before.
On this report was a picture of two people in cloaks.
She curled her lips as she read this and she had a very interested look on her face.
