Chapter 402 - 403: Disciples’ Business-I

"We found the hostage." the words came through the earpiece Wang Li Lei wore. Seeing how Wang Li Lei has a stance to hear the conversation, Xiao Yun's eyes turned up at him.

"Where are they?" He asked and brought Xiao Yun to a stop to then use his gun to fire at the one person who had been persistently coming toward them. But it wasn't the end yet, many came to rush toward them, the intent was clear, to kill.

"They are in the same floor, sir. The opposite way of where you are going, room eleven three."

Wang Li Lei then shifted his eyes down at Xiao Yun then to Hi Gu Yan and pushed his earpiece again, "How many enemy are near the room?"

"Three sir. Most of them are inside the room and another four outside the corridor to guard the place." at the end of the call, Wang Li Lei and Xiao Yun who hid behind a pillar, she then heard him ask her, "Your friends are near here. They were in the opposite path where we took a right turn earlier, remember?" he asked and she nodded.

So they were there. Xiao Yun's hand on the gun tightened. She couldn't be hasty but at the same time, she could not stand doing nothing now. "Can I go there?" somewhere she felt Wang Li Lei would deny her request with the care he had for her safety which she could understand as she was someone who was fated to die. But unexpectedly he gave her a nod.

"That was what I want to tell you. Take this, him and Gu Yan." he mentioned Fan Gang who was busy fighting people with his physical combat. "Once you have taken your friend, don't forget to find me. I will clear this place with less time as possible." Xiao Yun heard his words and took the earpiece he gave to wear the device to her ears. She stood from the place as she was crouching earlier and called Hi Gu Yan. Before she left, she pulled his shoulder.

Wang Li Lei feeling the pull, leaned his face and kissed her lips. "I'll come fast." Xiao Yun assures him before she left from the place. Thankfully Xiao Yun was wearing boots now which made her movement not hindered. Her body was quick to run but when she met a turn, her steps grew silent and she pressed her body to check the place from people.

"It's clear." Xiao Yun said, walking out she then frowned. "I thought there will be more of them here. Weren't their priority is to use the hostage?" She didn't like the word coming from her mouth but this was their situation at the moment. Which us even more weird that they let most corridors empty except the place nearest to the room where Zhi Ling Ling and Nie An was kept at.

"It could be an ambush." Fan Gang spoke out his opinion. Xiao Yun stopped her feet, her eyes looking at Fan Gang. "Such as hiding more people and attack at once."

"It could be they are not as simple as it seems."

"That could be." she whispered. "I have a plan." Xiao Yun told them, her eyes clinking with the aim to save her friend from the danger. With a plan is better than none.

Three floors above, Tian Shi arrived at one floor. Unlike any other, he had come with an elevator. Once it was opened, a scene of red greeted him. His eyes look down, staring on the red splatters of blood on the wall that seemed as if someone had thrown a large amount of red paints all over the walls. It wasn't paint that was all over the corridor but rather bloods of people who had turned lifeless on the ground with their body shattering.

Tian Shi saw how the people who were killed was wearing a clothes there were the same as others, possibly Wang Li Lei's men by the choice of their black clothes or could also be the target of their raid today, Tang Guanyu's people.

Walking deeper to the corner, he found the bloody smell nauseous. From where he walk, everything came as if it had been taken from a scene of a horror movie where if a ghost came now, it wouldn't be a surprise. And a ghost did came.

Chengye sat on the ground with his hand filled with blood, his clothes, and the left side of his face too was painted by the claret. When he looked up, he had a smile thinking it was Tian Yi but then the smile dropped when he saw it was Tian Shi, his master's nephew.

"You look good." Tian Shi remarked, "Perhaps better now, don't you? You've been holding yourself so much from killing people back in Tian House. I've told uncle not to bring you in and here I was right. A psychopath would never change."

Chengye's eyes clashed at Tian Yi, his expression was one of anger. As much as Tian Shi dislike him, Chengye also seen him as an eyesore. He stood from the spot he sat on, cracking his fingers, he scoffed, "A thief would know another thief. Don't you also known I'm a psychopath because you are as well one?"

"Oh please." Tian Shi rolled his eyes. "Don't put me on the same column as you. You're embarrassing and shaming my ancestors with your words." Tian Shi charge forward, his fist moved to punch Chengye.

"Your ancestors." scoffed Chengye, dodging the punches calmly but he knows that Tian Shi wasn't serious yet. "You know I always find you irritating." Chengye stated. "Like all the others disciples, they are too noisy and doesn't know when to pull back. Those idiots." He stated, one side of his lips was pulled high in mockery.

Chengye laughed, "For the first time and the last time I agree with you. I also never like you and your psychotic antics." As they speak, their fights with fists were getting faster and faster, each movements were heavy as it was swung to each other and none back down. "I remember the dog and the rats that always found its way to your room in a bloody state. People say that the animals were probably killed by Tian Qi to harass you but I know it isn't true. You were the one who had killed it. For pleasure purpose."

"You know much. Made me wonder why you have never said anything when you've seen everything." Chengye scoffed. "You're always acting like goody two shoes, sticking everywhere with a face like you know it all, that smug face of yours is as disgusting as ever."

Tian Shi chuckled, "I'm happy if you give me that much credit. You make me feel like I'm a very smart one which I am for your information. But rather than me, aren't your face more disgusting? To work with people like them now, you've fallen so low that you've entered the last layer of Earth, you know."

"Says the one who is enjoying the moment."

"I'll correct you, I'm enjoying the moment to kill the person I dislike which is why I'm enjoying you a different reason than you!" then Chengye saw a low jab from bellow to dodge his hand to the left when Tian Shi's punch when a sharp sound came on his left side.

Tian Shi slammed his fist to his arm, his eyes looking at Chengye who was quick to guard his face just a second.

"You brat." Chengye cursed and raise his legs to kick Tian Shi to his stomach.

Noticing, the kick, Tian Shi rolled back, his body steadied as he stood up and he clicked his tongue. "Uh-nuh, I'm not the brat, I'm your elder you damned brat!" Taking one step, he charge forward once again.
