Mighty Sovereign Chapter 8 Slander
When Fang and Xin were already out of sight of the captain, a soldier of the Bo clan emerged. "Why you did not follow the instruction of Young Master Han? you should slander those two and imprison them!" Question by Bo clan soldier.
"The information you provided me is incorrect, the other one is at 'Warrior Stage middle step'. You know what it means, there is someone big behind of that kid, I can't accuse them both and if I'd only accused one, that kid will retort. Don't worry the main target is still cripple and we can easily capture him just give us time." Response by the captain to the Bo clan soldier.
"Hmph! You better do it fast or else we will report this to governor Chen!" Warning to that captain.
Fang and Xin were at Heavenly Items House, it is one of the famous stores not only in this Falling Leaf City but also in its neighboring city. Here in Heavenly Items House, you can buy most of the stuff, just like the malls in the earth. Also, you can sell any valued items, such as weapons, armors, pills Etc.
The Heavenly Items House is own by the wealthiest and powerful clan, the Fenghuang clan. They will nurtured a potential warrior by providing them all the resources needed such as pills, money and many more. Once they were all already an expert they can be the best soldiers or protectors of the clan.
That explains why the Bo clan and Governor Chen were afraid to incite those powerful clans. They were preying the weak but fearing the strong.
Inside the Heavenly Items, House Fang and Xin noticed the group of people who use them as scapegoats. That group also noticed them and slander them. "Hey, you! You two are the ones who steal our beast cores! Give it back! Or else I will call the guard!." Said by the captain of their team.
"Yeah, Brother Zhong is right! you've stolen our cores while we are taking a bath on the river and take our space sack, how could poor warriors like you able to have that item it will coast 100 gold! Give it back to us and that space sack. Added by the members of the shameless team.
Fang and Xin did not mind their schemes, instead, they went to the manager. "Greetings manager we are here to sell cores." Xin is being respectful to the manager.
"Hmph! Sneered by the manager to the two. "We are not buying stolen items, but I can make an exemption for you I can buy that, however, the price will be cut into half." Said by the manager while wearing a mocking smile.
"I never thought Heavenly Items House is so shameless, come, brother Xin, we have to go the other one." Response by annoyed Fang.
"Wait! Did you hear me? I said! Return all the cores you've been stolen to us!" Yell by the shameless team captain "Don't you know who we are? we are the students of Rising Dragon Sect! If you will not gonna return it to us, then don't blame us." Warning by that captain.
"Fortunately, I did not join any sects or else I would be ashamed of your actions if I were your fellow students. You must also need to change your name that doesn't fit you, Zhong (Honesty)? what a great joke!" retorts by Fang to that person.
"Courting Death!" yelled by the man named Zhong and in its arms flames appear.
"Stop" A voice of a lady suddenly rang in the air, similar to thunder that boom unexpectedly.
"Manager Kang, what do you think you're doing? you are ruining our business, did we mind if that's a stolen or not? and you!" That lady glance at Zhong "Did you know that it is forbidden to fight here? my father knows your dean cause we donate on your sect, what would happen if your dean learns that you are not heeding the rules? now scram before I've changed my mind and reported you!"
The manager cups his hand and tried to explain it to the lady. "I do apologize, Lady Mingxia, I'm just helping my nephew against these thieves who stole my nephew space sack and beast cores."
"Yes, that's right, Lady Mingxia, I do apologize for my behavior earlier, I lost my thoughts earlier by so much hate for these thieves." Added by a man named Zhong.
Then Lady Mingxia nodded and glance at Fang and Xin and asks them "Is what they've said is true?"
Xin is the one who responds to Lady Mingxia's question. "We do apologize for this inconvenience for you miss Mingxia, but what they have said are all lies, we didn't steal anything from them, in fact, we should be the one who is asking them why they did that to us. You see, we have just met them in the maze forest and they were running for their lives.
" No that was not true! It was a lie! Lady Mingxia..." Slap! Zhong was not able to detect Mingxia's palm, he did not realize that he received a slap until his face was in pain.
"One more interruption and your head will fly" a cold voice of Lady Mingxia like a tigress that's ready to attack. Zhong was now silent, he was afraid to die.
Then Mingxia look back at Xin then said "continue"
Xin nodded and heed Mingxia, "They were running because of the Yin Yang Snakes, their group has killed a leader of Yin Yang snakes and its members 30 or more are pursuing them until we've met them and unaware of everything. They give us the rank 2 beast core of the Yin Yang Snake so that its members would think that we are part of their team. Fortunately, the snakes got frightened when we kill some of their members "
Lady Mingxia asks some questions to Xin. "You mention it was 30 or more snakes right? are you bragging on us? we all know that a Yin Yang Snake can kill even a Master Stage, yet, a Warrior Stage and mortal fights a group of dangerous snakes." Lady Mingxia did not believe them so she took out unknown stuff from his space ring, it is a sphere, its size is the same as ball a basketball ball. Then said, "Alright, I believed in you, could you please hold this sphere for a minute?"
Mingxia hand the sphere to Xin. Xin was amazed he can't tell whether it is an Iron or a stone, so he asks Fang to look for it and handed the sphere. When Fang takes the sphere he plays with it, he spins the sphere and does the tricks. The sphere landed on the back of his right palm and the sphere rolled up on his arms towards the shoulder and guided towards his left shoulder down to his left palm.
"Wow! Brother Fang that's awesome!" Xin was amazed by Fang tricks.
Lady Mingxia eyes were wide open and stunned for a moment when he returns to normal he asks the two, "How old are you?"
Fang reply "we are 13 but will turn 14 next two months"
Lady Mingxia nodded and then suddenly her face expression turns furious on the manager, she slaps and fired the manager on the spot. Then the group of Zhong was thrown outside and ban to enter. She was shocked when he sees the carcass, skins, bone, and cores of some beast, especially the 16 bodies of Yin Yan Snakes.
They have earned 1,600 golds in total, then Lady Mingxia gifted Fang a space ring, Xin was a little bit confused that the lady is much respectful now to Fang.
Half an hour passed Fang and Xin was eating in the restaurant, treating their selves. While Lady Mingxia went back to their mansion, "Greetings father, grandfather, you called me?"
In front of Lady Mingxia was her Father the current patriarch and his grandpa.
"Yes, my daughter, I know you will not act too rashly, but manager Kang has been our manager for a long time, yet you are in favor of those thieves which the other one is only mortal, not only that, but also you gifted a space ring like a charity, may I know the reason why?" A very calm voice of Lady Mingxia's father.
Then she replies, "Yes father I will" she took out the same sphere earlier and toss it to a guard which is at 'Warrior Master' when the soldier receives the sphere its hand and body follows the sphere to the ground, the ashamed soldier quickly stood up and try to lift the sphere with a hard time, and return it back to lady Mingxia, if its not for its cultivation base and energy it won't able to lift the sphere.
