Chapter 8 - The plan (OLD)

Lei Fei covered her blushed face with her delicate palms and crouched next to the wall.

"Aurelius, can you stop?" After saying this her gaze fell upon Fei Fei. " Get up he's just teasing you."

Aurelius backed few steps and after this Fei Fei with flushed cheeks and trembling legs stood up.

"Who is he and why is he here?" Lei Fei asked her elder sister.

"He's my friend, Aurelius Black-moon he will help you and other core disciples." Hearing Lei Wei Aurelius made a slight bow in the direction of Lei Fei. "Next month you and the rest of core disciples will travel to capital for tournament. Xiang is full of pretty boys of the wealthy families, that's why I brought him to immunize you from the charm of a man." While speaking these sentences Lei Wei looked slightly proud of herself."

Fei Fei cooled down and asked "How do you want to achieve this? "

"That's where I need your help. Despite the fact that the capital is not that far away I want you are the rest of core disciples to depart to capital in the next few days. Instead of traveling straight to the Xiang you will visit some big cities and the Aurelius will take care of the rest." Elder Wei continued.

"You don't have to be concerned about Matriarch, she approved my plan.

"I understand, but how I can justify his presence with us along our journey?" While she spoke these words a frown appeared on Lei Wei's face.

"If I can interrupt, I would like to propose a solution." When Aurelius spoke his flawless face started changing, his cheekbones moved, colour of his eyes as well as his hair changed to black.

"I will appear alongside their journey every time with different looks and I will try to charm one disciple a time." When sisters Lei saw his changing appearance their faces showed initially signs of surprise but when they heard his plan they approved his idea.

"Before we will start the plan I would like the preferences of the girls that i will try to seduce and have a request to Miss Wei." When he spoke Fei Fei looked as if she had a revelation.

"The day before the departure I will organize a sleepover in my lodging. It should be easy get to know their image of the ideal man." Proud of her idea Fei Fei spoke with her head high.

"Regarding your request I will have to get to know the details, before I agree."Wei spoke to the Aurelius."Alright everything is planned, you should depart in 3 days so you will have a lot of time to have fun before the tournament, remember to arrive 7 days before the tournament starts to register and make the final touches to your techniques." Elder Wei spoke and turned to the exit.

"Aurelius I have to speak with Matriarch about it, I hope that you wont get lost on your way back to my estate." Lei Wei opened the door and left.

"Farewell Miss Lei." Aurelius turned to Lei Fei and after saying these words he left.

When Aurelius came out of the Fei Fei's lodging he immediately felt that he's being observed.

These gazes were different than the ones he felt when he was walking with Elder Wei, now he's clearly being spied upon. Aurelius didn't care about these gazes, on the way to estate of Elder Wei he turned into the alley that led to the big courtyard. This courtyard served as place for disciples of the sect to spar and practice their melee skills.

"Interesting" Aurelius thought and stood leaning his back onto the wall. "Their martial arts and sword techniques are inadequate to their strenght." He thought. " They are severely lacking while having the strenght of an Expert their prowess in melee combat is that of Adept and in the worst cases of Great Apprentice."

"What are you doing here? Watching beauties in the open?" He heard a familiar voice and saw a figure with a silver sword in a hand walking to him.

"Li Mei, I was just watching your techniques." Aurelius stopped leaning on the wall and said.

Li Mei actions cough the attention of the rest of the disciples practicing.

"If you watched my techniques not my sisters from the sect you should be a sword user yourself. Then would you like to spar with me?" She spoke to him.

"It's okay with me, but i do not have a sword with me." When he spoke the last word of his sentence Li Mei changed her silver sword into ordinary one and threw identical to Aurelius.

"That should be fair." She spoke and started walking towards the center of the courtyard.

The two of them stood opposite themselves.

"After you."Aurelius spoke.

After his sentence Li Mei rushed to him, her steps light and sword in her hands clearly in the position to pierce the Aurelius.

When Aurelius saw her movements he just started walking towards her in a leisure steps like a walk in the park with his sword lying down in his hand. When Li Mei was around 10 meters away from the Aurelius she jumped into the air and made a wide horizontal slash alongside three smaller vertical ones, after every of her slashes a bluish wave of energy flew in the direction of her opponent.

Seeing her jumping Aurelius stopped moving and when the first of the energy waves should hit him he disappeared and in the same moment the man's voice sounded in the courtyard.

"You lost." Aurelius spoke with his sword touching the neck of Li Mei.
