Assumption of Patriarch Han

After that long talk Jiang Feitian began his seclusion again and meditate the entire noon.

'Ahhh..I forgot to ask him the grading of treasures!'

Meanwhile two figures finally entered the Xuanyun City, the two was Xiang Ye and Shang Piao.

"What should we do now, Brother Xiang?" Shang Piao asked the person beside him while they walking in the crowded street. "Lets find an inn first, before we began to search for brother Feitian" Xiang Ye thought for a moment and replied.

"That's works too, let's go!" Shang Piao nod.

"Hhmm..."

The two arrives in the front of inn. "Qing Wu Inn? is this new inn?" Xiang Ye mumbled to himself. But to his side, someone heard of it.

"Yeah, brother this Qing Wu Inn is new establishment here. They only accommodate cultivators not mortals" The guy said with smug, looking at Xiang Ye. "Ohh...thank you brother" Xiang Ye just ignore it and walk closer to the inn, while on his back Shang Piao was tailing.

Knowing that he was ignore, he snort at the two. "Hmmp!"

Xiang Ye and Shang Piao arrive that door and give 4 spirits stone each of them, paying for their entry. "Please come in" . A voice sounded at the side, where a maidservant waiting for them. The maidservant bow slightly and made a way for them to walk and said. "The receptionist is there"

The two nod and walk closer to the desk where the servant giving a token.

The clerk greet the two of them and ask. "How many room, Dear Sir ?". Shang Piao and Xiang Ye looked at each other, then smiled. "One room for us two". The clerk glance for a second and bow for a moment, after waiting for 5 seconds. The maid already stand straighten her back. " Here is your token, enjoy your stay". she smiled sweetly.

Shang Piao receive the token and taken a look. Xiang Ye nod, and walk to find the number in the token. "Room 023".

"Found it, let's rest for now, brother Xiang" Shang Piao said happily. They were tired from traveling from Cold Wind city to Xuanyun city, rushing. "Alright"

....

Meanwhile inside the meeting hall of the Han clan, Elder Zheng was in front of Han clan patriarch. He was mumbling and talking about something, recounting his encounter in the gate with the Jiang Feitian and Bing Mingyu.

"Patriarch, I notice that guy Feitian aura was..." Han Zheng said in front of Han Qinye. "What about that aura?" Han Qinye rebut him with a frown, and a little displease tone. This subordinate of him despite being at Spirit Transformation Stage still make a lot of mistake.

"W...was, bizarre, Patriarch!". Han Zheng know why his patriarch was displeased of him, it was because of what he done to miss Bing Mingyu. That's why he was telling about this odd thing that he notice during his meet with miss Bing Mingyu about that guy who employed by Bing clan.

"What is bizarre about that guy?"

"When I look at him, his aura undulation was same level as miss Bing Mingyu. But when I use my spiritual sense to scan his strength I discover that his true strength was Peak-Spirit Qi Stage!" Han Zheng explain it in 3 breaths

"Ohhh? You mean the person that Bing Wang employed was faking his aura undulation?". Han Qinye ask, his interest what a bit piqued. "What was the that person name?" He ask Han Zheng again.

"Errr...miss Bing called him Feitian? was it?" Han Zheng replied, with a expression of confusion. That's what he heard, when Bing Mingyu called Jiang Feitian at that time. When Bing Mingyu was passing the payment for guarding her.

"HHmm... did you ask miss Bing about any related to that guy?" Han Qinye ask after thinking what Han Zheng said, and pondered for a moment. 'Feitian? is that his daoist name?'

"I ask her, but miss Bing plead to me that I shouldn't do something bad to that guy." Han Zheng said.

"Hmm...Do you know where's that Feitian guy is, right now?" Han Qinye asked slowly glancing at Han Zheng. "Actually, I order my men to follow that guy. But according to them, that guy after arriving at the crowded stall. Someone approach him, and that cloak person just leave after a few exhange of w

ords. Then, right after 13 minutes pass, that guy Feitian run in a secluded alley and disappeared. They already tried to search every hidden corner of that alley. But still haven't seen any shadow of that Feitian."

"I see, you did a good job tailing him. He might be a spy from another prince monitoring the Bing clan."

"This is bad, Patriarch! miss Bing once said to me that, Feitian guy saved him from bandits after she fainted. And that guy got hold of the spatial ring which contain the item! That guy knows that the Crown Prince Token was on us! That must be the reason why he approach the Bing clan from the begin

ning". Right after Han Zheng said that, a burst of aura suddenly flooded the Meeting and Han Zheng instantly felt suffocate!

A deep voice echoed in the Meeting Hall, with a suppressive sound that no body is allow to disobey it's command! "Call miss Bing to come over, with haste!"

After waiting for a 3 minutes, Bing Mingyu arrive at the Meeting Hall. Looking over she could see Uncle Zheng and Patriarch Han Qinye.

Walking at the door, she bow and cupped with fist. "Greetings, Patriarch Han!, What do you need me for?" She asked directly, hoping to end it soon. As she was planning to cultivate.

"Please come in first, miss Bing" Han Zheng said with smile and offered her a sit.

"Many thanks, Uncle Zheng". Though she didn't want it, but she had to take the offer. After all, the one offering was a Spirit Transformation cultivator, not accepting it will surely make them feel discomfort.

Although Bing clan and Han clan was the same side, still Bing clan was lower in strength, unlike Han clan were the 2nd prince Houlong personally visit and asked to be part of his. Taking her sit, she slowly glance at Han Qinye who was pondering.

Moment later, Han Qinye was done thinking, he look at Bing Mingyu and asked. "Miss Bing, you said to Han Zheng that. When you fainted that was when your employed guard save you?"

"Yes, that was my Captain Nie said to me, along the way" Bing Mingyu nod, and replied Han Qinye question.

"Captain Nie?" Han Qinye look at Han Zheng who was startled and hurriedly said to his patriarch. "It's the Bing clan captain who accompanied miss Bing in coming here!" He was having a sweat, he almost forgot about that captain!

Noticing the trepidation of Uncle Zheng and the way Han Patriarch talk.

"Is there a problem with my captain Nie, Patriarch Han?" She asked, but this time she doesn't have that amaible aura. Since the way she was treat this time was a bit different, the Han patriarch was coldly looking at her without any of that amicable face last time.

"Tell Captain Nie to come over" he said to the servant who was sweating from that earlier burst of suppressive aura. But didn't dare to leave. "Yes, patriarch!" then it hastily run away.

Captain Nie arrive at the meeting hall, he could see that atmosphere were a suppressive. The maidservant gave him a nod, indicating he could enter. He walked inside, and see the patriarch.

He hurriedly bow and cup fist and said. "Greetings, Patriarch Han. May i know what business does patriarch for this captain?". But he didn't lift his bowing head, and remain in that position.

"Captain Nie, miss Bing said that you know what all happen after she fainted? Could you perhaps tell to us what happen in there?" Han Qinye said, while nodding his head approvingly as how this captain approach and use words.

Captain Nie slightly glance at his young miss, seeing that Bing Mingyu nod, he began to tell what happened in that ambush, in more detail than how he explain it to his young miss. Making Bing Mingyu paled and contort, to think that there's still a lot of information that he haven't told to her.

After a long explanation captain Nie took a deep breath, and end his talk. "That's was all happened. After young miss fainted".

Patriarch Han Qinye slowly caress his 2 inch beard and pondered, after a second. He gaze at Bing Mingyu. "Base on your captain Nie said, It seems that guy Feitian weren't harbouring any thought on you or the item you, cause if he did. He would just watch you get killed by bandits while he would kill

captain Nie before chasing the bandits who had the item."

"Also he surely taken a peek on what was inside. Despite so, he didn't show interest nor show any change in behavior while traveling, if we deduce on how captain Nie said." Patriarch Han voice echo while the three figures was listening to his assumption.

The three nod, also agree to patriarch Han said.

"But there's also a possibility that he is a spy sent there, to watch you and confirm that the item was with you and it will be delivered to us, the Han Clan". This time patriarch Han's voice was frosty and very hostile! and an aura so enormous bearing down into the three figures making them sweat and kneel.

Captain Nie was already kneeling and gritting his teeth from pressure, Bing Mingyu was actually half kneel, same as Han Zheng.

After a 5 minutes of enduring the pressure, the 3 was exhausted. Making them lump in the hall their robe was soaking with sweat. Patriarch Han Qinye began to recede his pressure.

Suddenly Patriarch Han Qinye asked the two figures, Bing Mingyu and Captain Nie. "Do you know what was inside the spatial ring?"

The two shook there heads. Then Bing Mingyu step in and said. "Father said that don't look at it, I will know it later on, by then I will surely understand it importance on why he didn't let me see it"

"Indeed, you're father is right!" Chuckling, nodding Patriarch Han said. "As the item inside was actually the Crown Prince Token!" he uttered softly but to Bing Mingyu and Captain Nie hearing it wasn't soft but instead a thunderclap!

After realising what they were carrying was, they both felt they're leg was weakening! That was Crown Prince Token were we talking about!? How come it was on the Bing Clan!?

Bing Mingyu had a lot of question as she knows that Patriarch Han wouldn't explain it to her, she could only seek answers to her question to her father.

Crown Prince Token was suppose to at first prince, how come it was with Bing clan and now delivered at Han clan. Also everyone in here standing at the meeting hall knows what it use. Those who hold it among the 4 prince will earn the title of Crown Prince. Currently the public still calling the first prince as Crown Prince, but deep down he already lost the token that make his identiy as crown prince of the kingdom.

After a minutes, making digest the information that Han Qinye said. Patriarch Han made them leave.

"You two can leave, Han Zheng you stay there" Han Qinye said after glancing at the two figures who wobbling to stand and made a step. He glance to the corner where the maidservant was also wobbling and he shook his head, slightly chuckling. Knowing that he was carried away from releasing his cultiva

tion pressure!

After the Bing Mingyu and Captain went back to their respective rooms. Han Qinye gesture to Han Zheng to take a sit, and said to him. "Han Zheng, i want you to find that guy Feitian if possible capture him and bring him here, alive. But if he retaliate, then kill him then!" Han Qinye become solemn,

and continue speaking. "You can bring 4 Dark Assassins"

"Really!? patriarch?" Han Zheng ask joyfully. "Hhmm..yes, you go ahead and assemble them"

"Many thanks, patriarch. I will surely bring that guy to you!" Han Zheng was happy. To think that one day he could use the Dark Assassins that the clan nurture in secret for many years, each one of them has the cultivation of Spirit Qi Stage, all of them! and there was actually almost 300 of that cu

ltivator under the Han clan's command.

If the royal family ever get wind of it, they will surely be accused as making a revolt. They only use it, occasionally. When the clan's prestige and benefits was at stake, that was only the time they use the Dark Assassins!
