Chapter 688: Shuren and the Other Going to Xiao Tian's House

Hozu Town, Ryu Martial Arts School.

Inside the private room, three people were sitting on the wooden chairs. Those people were none other than Jufan, Yahui, and Shuren.

"Do you think they will succeed in carrying out their mission later?" Jufan inquired.

"I don't know. But I think they will succeed later." because Ace and the others managed to get information about Xiao Tian and the Blue Ice Lotus gang, Yahui thought the possibility they would succeed in carrying out their mission was high.

"I think so too," Shuren added. "Remember that Ace and Black managed to sneak into the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters not long ago."

"I hope nothing bad happens to them later." Yahui really hoped that the Blue Ice Lotus gang members would not be aware of Xiao Tian and the others because it could be dangerous for his disciples.

He didn't care about Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng. What he cared about were his disciples. His disciples were martial artists at the high-level master stage, so he didn't want something bad to happen to them.

Not long after that, one of the Ryu martial arts school instructors suddenly entered the private room.

"Grandmasters, I have bad news." The instructors spoke.

"What is it?" Shuren inquired.

"Ace and the others failed in their mission." The instructor went straight to the point. "Ace and Black are severely injured, and now they are at their home."

"What about the others?" Jufan didn't care about Ace and Black, so he only wanted to know about his disciples' condition.

"Yes. tell us immediately." Like Jufan, Shuren also didn't care about Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng.

"They are….they are…." the instructor was unable to finish his words immediately because he knew that the grandmasters would be angry later. He was afraid that they would take their anger out on him.

"Tell us immediately!" Jufan began to lose control because he was worried about the condition of his disciples.

"Jufan, calm down!" Yahui said before looking at his disciple. "Now tell us. What happened to them?"

After taking a deep breath, the instructor answered, "They….they are captured by Xiao Tian's underlings."

*Bang!

Jufan slammed the wooden table next to him.

"Tell me everything in detail!" Jufan wanted to know how Xiao Tian's underlings could capture his disciples.

"It's like this…" The instructor began to explain everything.

Previously, Lan Ruoxi made up a story, and the instructor told them everything just like what Lan Ruoxi told him. He didn't know that Lan Ruoxi was lying to him. He believed that Lan Ruoxi was telling the truth.

"Let's go to Ace's house." Jufan wanted to know from Xiao Tian's mouth, so he wanted to visit their house.

"Good idea. Let's go." Shuren agreed with Jufan's idea.

Then Shuren, Yahui, and Jufan traveled to Xiao Tian's house.

--------

*Knock…Knock…Knock…

Yahui immediately knocked on the door after they arrived at Xiao Tian's house.

Not long after that, Lan Ruoxi opened the door. "Grandmasters?"

Lan Ruoxi was not surprised when she saw them because she had guessed that they would come to her house.

"We came to visit Ace and Black. We want to know about their condition. "Yahui lied to Lan Ruoxi.

Because they were allies, he thought it was the best excuse. With this, not only would he be able to find out the truth from Xiao Tian, but it would also look like they cared about Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng.

"Come in." even though Lan Ruoxi knew that they lied to her, but she pretended to be happy after hearing Yahui's words.

When they stepped into Xiao Tian's room, they saw Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng lying on the bed. Their heads, arms, and chests were bandaged.

"Grandmasters." Zhao Sheng said when he saw them.

"You don't need to sit," Yahui said when he saw Zhao Sheng trying to sit up. "How are you feeling?"

"We have quite serious injuries." Zhao Sheng lied to them. "It will take us 4-7 days to recover from injuries."

"Let me check your condition." After saying that, Shuren checked Zhao Sheng's pulse.

'His pulse is beating messily. It seems he is not lying. He is severely injured.'

Shuren said in his head when he was checking Zhao Sheng's pulse.

At this time, Xiao Tian and Zhao Shen felt lucky that they decided to poison themselves. Otherwise, Shuren and the others would find out the truth.

"How could this happen?" even though his disciple had explained everything, Yahui still wanted to hear it from them.

"I think there is a spy at the Ryu martial arts school." Xiao Tian said abruptly.

"Spy?" Shuren was surprised because previously, Yahui's disciple didn't say anything like that.

"We suspect there is a spy among us." Zhao Sheng added. "As soon as we arrived at the Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters, our whereabouts were immediately discovered by them. This is the reason why we failed in carrying out our mission."

"As soon as we arrived at their base, we were immediately surrounded by twenty of Xiao Tian's underlings. And it seemed like they already knew that we would come to their base." Xiao Tian explained. "And they also sent their best fighters like Mu Huo and Chun Hua to catch us."

"Yes." Zhao Sheng added. "Not only that, but all of them also brought weapons."

Zhao Sheng then told them how they managed to escape from Xiao Tian's underlings. Of course, he made up a story.

Jufan, Yahui, and Shuren looked at each other. They found it hard to believe that there was a spy at Ryu martial arts school, especially Yahui.

Yahui was sure there was no spy at his martial arts school because some of his disciples were patrolling every day.

However, if Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng were lying, there was no way Xiao Tian's underlings could find their whereabouts so quickly.

"I'll catch the spy later." Yahui would try to catch the spy because it was dangerous if his martial arts school had a spy.

Not only could it destroy his martial arts school, but there was a high possibility that all the essential information would leak out to the public later.

"So, the two of you won't be able to participate in the mission later, huh?" Shuren sighed after saying that.

"We can't participate in the next mission." Zhao Sheng said, "But our sister-in-law will participate later."

Zhao Sheng and Xiao Tian would pretend to be injured so they wouldn't participate in the next plan.

"It's fine." Shuren understood their condition, so he couldn't force them to participate in the next plan.

After that, they talked for another twenty minutes before finally Shuren, Jufan, and Yahui traveled to Ryu martial arts school.

As soon as they arrived at Ryu martial arts school, Yahui called all the instructors. He told them to find the spy in their place as soon as possible.

-----

Mozu village, Xiao Tian's house.

"Do you think they believe our words?" Zhao Sheng inquired.

"Based on their expressions earlier, I'm sure they believed our words." after Shuren, Jufan and Yahui entered his room, Xiao Tian kept paying attention to their expressions until they left.

"I hope so." Even though what Xiao Tian said was true, but they didn't know the truth.

Xiao Tian then looked at Lan Ruoxi and spoke, "Lady Lan, in the next few days, everything will be up to you."

-----

The following morning, Lan Ruoxi traveled to Ryu martial art school to discuss a plan to destroy the Blue Ice Lotus gang with Jufan and the others.

Unlike before, now there were only four people in the private room. And those people were Jufan, Shuren, Yahui, and Lan Ruoxi.

"So, should we continue with our previous plans?" Shuren inquired.

"I guess we should take care of the spy first. Otherwise, Xiao Tian will find out our plan, and we could lose a lot of martial artists again later." Jufan didn't want to make the same mistake. That was why he suggested them to find the spy first.

"We're still looking for the spy until now, but to no avail." Yahui had ordered several instructors and senior disciples to find the spy.

He also told them not to tell everyone as that would let the spy know their intentions later.

"So, we still don't know the spy, huh?" Jufan knew that trying to find the spy was difficult.

"But you don't need to worry because I've ordered several disciples to guard this room." Since Yahui didn't want their plan to leak out again, he ordered some of his trusted disciples to guard the room.

"Are you sure they can be trusted?" Shuren inquired. "It's not that I doubt you, but we have to be careful because the consequences will be fatal for us later."

"Don't worry. I have known them since they were little." Yahui replied. "And they are my trusted disciples."

"All right." Because Yahui said so, Jufan decided to trust Yahui because if he continued to suspect Yahui, Yahui might feel offended by what he said later.

"Now the question is, how to get information about the Blue Ice Lotus gang?" Shuren asked, "Should we attack them, head-on?"

"No!" Jufan refused instantly. "Attacking without making a plan or knowing the enemy's strength is not a good idea."

"But, I'm afraid we will lose a few more martial artists." Since the Blue Ice Lotus gang knew that they wanted to investigate them, Yahui was confident that they would tighten their security.

What Yahui said was right. They had lost five martial artists, so they could not make the same mistake. Because of that, they started thinking of the best idea to get information about Xiao Tian and the Blue Ice Lotus gang.

As Yahui and the others were thinking, Lan Ruoxi suddenly said, "I have an idea."
