The Infiltration

"Make sure you don't drink too much and remember to sleep early and prepare for the meeting tomorrow", master Huang Ju said as he walked out of the main bowl to his chambers to retire for rest.

Still the students continued drinking and soon were drunk.

The next day came, and to the surprise of the students, they woke up seeing themselves in the main chamber. Seems they drank too much and were unable to retire to their various rooms for rest.

Each of them quickly ran to their various blocks and rooms to prepare for the meeting that day. Although it seems they were late.

They did all they could to speed up their preparations. Meanwhile, the other wings were already present at the meeting venue.

Principal Ming understood that they may have drank too much last night. So he pleaded with the others to exercise patience as they waited for them.

At that moment, one could see the students of the crimson lion wing scampering into the hall as though they were all chased.

Everyone burst into laughter considering how disorganized the winning team arrived, not quite long master Huang Ju also arrived.

The meeting kicked off as expected and the discussion began. Every wing now seems present.

Principal Ming stepped forward as he addressed everyone.

"Good morning everyone. I actually called this meeting for an important reason",

"We are aware that we have new students on our midst and they may not be very familiar with the academy rules or respond positive when a call to duty arrives", he said.

"I want our new students to brazen up and face reality now as the real task is about to begin", he said.

"Every student or group of students are assigned to weekly missions to help you gain experience in the world of martial arts",

"Through these missions, one would be exposed to the society and vulnurable to attacks", he said.

"Soon our new students will realize that Nirong city and Wushu kingdom is not as simple as it seems. It's a world of martial artists and evil prevails as the day goes by",

"It's our duty to help and protect the innocent people from the tyranny of the evil sects", principal Ming said.

"Before now, we've been getting reports that a sect known as the Poison tribe of the Herb ghost valley have infiltrated various villages and cities",

"For some time now they've suceeded in their activities but they dare infiltrate Nirong city", principal Ming said as he hit a table to vent his anger.

It was indeed an auspicious moment as they've never seen principal Ming in this mood before.

"Starting from today, every student and every wing have been given the mission to monitor the activities of these intruders and terminate the activities of the poison tribe", principal Ming added.

"For sometime, people in these city have been dying from strange illness with no cure and investigation is currently going on to get to the root cause",

"Guiyi academy pledges to give their full support in this fight", he said in conclusion.

Words were flying in the air immediately after principal Ming finished his speech. Every wing were left to the task.

But now each of the wings want to prove their worth and prowess by being the one who captures the intruder and stop the infiltration.

Without wasting time, master Huang stepped forward and spoke;

"I'll suggest that all the wings work as one and pair our students so as to cover more grounds and catch these intruders", master Huang Ju Said.

Immediately he finished his statement, you could many people nodding their heads in agreement but the purple cloud wing seems indifferent.

Master Yang Jun of the purple cloud wing then cleared his throat to speak.

"I don't think merging the wings would be a good idea. Because some would use that disguise and take credit for other people's effort", he said.

"As for the purple cloud wing, we will be operating fully on our own without any wings help", master Yang Jun said.

Students from the purple cloud wing loved their masters suggestion because they believed they were the best and could handle it on their own.

Master Lin Fei then spoke what she thought was right;

"As for the silver eagles wing, we would be abiding by what master Huang Ju suggested. So the silver eagles wing as from today would work hand in hand to ensure this case is settled", she said.

"The purple cloud wing can do as they please", master Lin Fei said.

Joy filled the atmosphere as the silver eagles wing were happy they were working alongside the crimson lion wing.

Tang Tang, Ru Yuo and Gui Shan could not hide their contentment and happiness upon hearing it. They had always wished for a day like this.

A day when as friends they would work together and be of help to each other. The meeting that day was adjourned.

The purple cloud wing hurriedly left the hall and returned to their manor. Meanwhile, the crimson lion wing and silver eagles wing stayed behind to make their own plans and strategy.

"Thank you all for your cooperation and understand. My thank especially goes to master Lin Fei and their students", he said.

"I assure that our alliance would bring down the plot of the poison tribe", he said.

"While conducting some investigations, I discovered that the poison tribe are very skillful with poisons and attack strategically", he said.

"There was a time I was trying to follow their trail but I found none, that's to tell you the kind of people we are up against",

"And mind you, these tribe have informants who have been planted everywhere across Wushu kingdom", he said.

"So I suggest that starting from tomorrow, we'll set out for this mission as one team", he said.

They all agreed to gather at the academy's gate and set out to hunt down these infiltrators. So they dispersed and returned to their various manor.

As they went on their way, Tang Tang jumped on Gui Shan...

"Finally we would once again be working as a team, I believe we'll succeed", Tang Tang said as he climbed down.

"Yes! I'm so happy we'll be together again. I miss all those your nagging", Ru Yuo said to Tang Tang.

"I also missed your smile", Tang Tang replied.

...

"Hello Bi Yao! Long time we had a chat", Gui Shan said as he approached Bi Yao.

Bi Yao shocked seeing that Gui Shan approached her and remembering what she said to him on their first encounter delt guilty.

"You too, the high and mighty Gui Shan", Bi Yao said as she shrugged her shoulders.

"I just hope you could work with us tomorrow as a team", Gui Shan said.

"I don't mind joining your team, I think you guys are cool to some extent", she said.

"Tang Tang...Ru Yuo... let's welcome Bi Yao to our special team, she agreed to work with us during tomorrow's hunt", Gui Shan said.

"Wow! I believe the four of us would be the first to catch a member of that tribe", Tang Tang said on a serious note.

"Wow! I can't believe you're serious for once", Ru Yuo said as she giggled.

The four youngsters talked all the way till they parted to their various manors. Tang Tang and Bi Yao headed back to the silver eagles manor, while Gui Shan and Ru Yuo went to the crimson lion manor.

Meanwhile in the purple cloud manor, master Yang Jun was busy strategizing with his students. Right from time, master Yang Jun also believed his team was the powerful and most strongest in the academy and so he doesn't rely on others for help.

But it seems things are eventually taking a different turn as they were defeated during the Inter-wing competition. Their main aim for reneging to join other teams was to get all the credits to themselves and prove they are capable than the others.
