Horrid

I knew that question was coming but it still feels weird. After all, this is the first time I am being asked about a relative that I've killed. Most of my kills are unknown or just rumors at best.

I turned and looked at Tanya who was giving me a pricing glare as if she wanted to peer into my soul to find the most absolute of truths, "Who am I, your father? How am supposed to know where your brother is? In fact, why are you even asking me that question, to begin with?"

With Tanya asking me that question I could pretty much confirm that Talen was sent to that floor to kill me. But I could tell that Tanya wasn't the one to send him. Tanya was one of the three prime disciples of the Immortal Blood Sect, the resources at their disposal were insane so if she wanted me dead all she needed to do was just send someone in the Realm of Dao to kill me and that would be it. I would put up a fight but as I am now killing a Realm of Dao expert is impossible unless the circumstances are in my favor.

"Did you see him?" Tanya asked

I laughed, "Tanya look around, the academy is in complete anarchy. People are killing, pillaging, and raping nonstop so please tell me why would I bother paying attention to your brother. We are not allies in any way so his life or death doesn't even matter to me and I haven't seen anyone other than you two on my way down here." I said as I looked deeply into her sterling eyes that were trying to find any type of giveaway from my answer, "Besides I wasn't even in my dorm room when that announcement went out."

"But he told me he was on the floor where your dorm room is located," she said with a sneer.

I smiled back in return, "Oh? Why would he even be on that floor in the first place? I can tell you for sure that he has no friends on that floor and that he doesn't even live there. In fact, all members of your Immortal Blood Sect live in an entirely different section of the academy. So why would he go there and to my floor no less? Out of the Seven, my floor is one of the farthest from where you guys reside."

Tanya's face paled, realizing that she fucked up. So it does turn out that the Immortal Blood Sect went to assassinate me. But it is most likely that I am not the only target and that all seven of us were targets. Tanya was with Lian Taiyang and other than Micah and his goons they were the only people here, what are the chances of that. News about Zantar has been sealed and probably will be for a while or until he can recover most if not all of his cultivation, but I am wondering right now if I should expose Tanya or not.

It is clear she is not the ringleader of the targeted hit and is following orders. Tanya and the same could be said about her mother before she ended up warming Duan Ru Feng's bed in my opinion. So that only leaves three people who could possibly organize such a mission and do it without the sect master's knowledge; the vice sect leader, the supreme elder, and the crown prince. The crown prince is most likely the culprit. He had the skill, motive, and ambition to pull such a job off. The Seven Blessed from Heaven will not be pawns of the royals. The vice sect master is not that dumb and the supreme elder is an old fossil nearing the end of his life. I guess that the only people who were spared from the hit were Talia, Kellian, and myself. But due to Tanya's personal problem with my brother and me by association, I wouldn't be surprised if she secretly sent extra assassins for us specifically.

I really don't want to kill her right now. Duan Ru Feng is still recovering somewhere so I don't have to bother with him for a while, it's the crown prince I'm worried about. I don't want to be in his crosshairs this early as this would take his mind off the internal conflict of his faction and the vice leader might actually succeed in killing him.

The struggles of my greatness. I guess there is only one way to resolve this.

Making my decision I telepathically communicated to Tanya, 'Look bitch, I'm guessing that the crown prince sent assassins to take out specific members of the Seven Blesses from Heaven. I don't know who is supposed to be off limits but I know for sure that me, Talia, and Kellian were on that list but your delusional ass just couldn't help yourself and decided to send assassins to kill me and Rizen. Now your idiot brother and her whore of a lover is now dead because of you, congratulations. As for Rizen, well I'm sure we can both guess what happened. What I'm wondering right now is if I should kill you right now or not I revealed and seeing Tanya trembled and face turning into the same color as ash I knew my guess was spot on.

'Are you not afraid of retaliation from the crown prince? He is the most powerful person in the academy right now and sure while it's not revealed that I am his woman, that is only a matter of time. I would like to see you keep the same confident face then when he shows you true despair.' she replied with a smile of absolute confidence on her face and I couldn't blame her. She had every right to be...too bad she is dealing with me.

I tried my hardest to die of laughter. I would never be worried about the damn crown prince trying to kill me. I'm fucking his mom and aunt for crying out loud! The fact I haven't flexed this in his face and make him call me stepdad is a show of mercy! Bastard better be grateful. This bitch just doesn't know she is a high-class whore, I'm wondering if I should throw her under the bus later on our journey since we are going to be together for a while.

'The crown prince is the least of my worries. He has more important things to worry about than you. Also, don't get it twisted I don't fear the crown prince in any way. I could fuck you senseless right now, record it, spread it all over the acdemy, and personally spit on the crown prince's face and I still wouldn't fear him. It's just that it is too early to cross paths with him right now so I am trying to find common ground with you. Let's put out differences aside, for now, team up, and get ourselves out of this mess. I can tell you right now that the battle with Micah and his goons will be the weakest opponents you see for a good while. Women as beautiful as you and Lian will be top prey for ninety-nine percent of these bastards. It's like you said, no one knows that you are the crown prince's woman and even if they did it wouldn't matter. His name won't save you from all situations, especially in this one and I don't have to bring up a situation if you end up in the clutches of these men. So what do you say, want to become allies, even if temporary?' I asked

Tanya thought about it for a while until she nodded her head, "Ok, I agree."

"Agree on what?" Lian asked, not having any idea of the conversation that I and Tanya just had.

I patted her head and I could swear I heard her purr, "Too long to explain, but just know that she will be joining us for a while. We could use someone of her skills."

"What skill? The skill of men cumming in their pants and killing people they would call their brothers as they throw themselves at her?" Lian mocked and I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But it was all cut off by a blood-chilling scream. A scream so horrid that I didn't dare turn my head to look at the source of it.
