Three World Swordsman
086: Black Fox Moves
Yao Chan arrived at his grandfather's residence in the early morning. His forehead shriveled as he saw so many soldiers standing guard in the courtyard of the house with a carriage that looked extremely luxurious.
"whoareyou? show me your identity!"
A soldier who seemed to be the leader of those guard soldiers, stopped Yao Chan with a loud voice. He did so because he saw that the Cloak that Yao Chan was wearing was covered in blood in many parts.
"I'm Yao Chan, Prime Minister Lin Bao's grandson." Yao Chan replied as he displayed the Identity Badge of the God Valley Sect bearing his name.
The leader of the guard soldiers, immediately checked Yao Chan's badge. His eyes stared intently as if in disbelief that the young man before him was the grandson of a prime minister regardless of his handsome face.
"Really you.."
"Chan'er what happened to you!?"
The head soldier was stunned when he saw a woman he knew was the Prime Minister's daughter who had recovered from her illness, walking hurriedly towards the young man he was holding his Identity badge.
"Mom. calm down, I'm fine, this isn't my blood."
"Chan'er don't make me worry like this again, son, I don't want to lose you."
Lin Hua held Yao Chan's hand in a slightly sobbing voice. Yao Chan was silent, he felt guilty leaving his mother without saying goodbye first, yet this was the life of a swordsman.
" Yes Mother.. Who's going to Grandpa Ma'am's house?"
"Crown Prince Wu Jian and Princess Wu Mei. He looked for you after returning from the town square to witness the Pancung punishment carried out this morning."
Yu Lian said after releasing her embrace from Yao Chan.
"You need to clean yourself up and change your clothes. Oh yeah, what's your relationship with the Princess?"
Lin Hua looked at Yao Chan sharply, trying to intimidate his son. Yet he felt like he had failed to hear Yao Chan's next reply.
"Mr Princess? it seems like he likes me, Mom. The way he looks at me makes me.."
Yao Chan was silent, he was deliberately so as to provoke the mother's curiosity."
"Make you how? quickly say.!"
Lin Hua was curious about Yao Chan's severed sentence.
"Make me.make me want immediately ah mother anyway that's Mother.I want to clean myself first yes Ma."
Yao Chan immediately took out his Identity badge then rushed inside the house leaving Lin Hua visibly irritated at not being able to figure out Yao Chan's feelings towards the Princess. He also caught up with Yao Chan entering the mansion.
"Aunt Hua, is Chan Gege home yet?"
The spoiled voice of Yu Lian, welcoming Lin Hua upon arriving at the large room where Yu Lian, Zhu Yin, Crown Prince Wu Jian and Princess Wu Mei were currently conversing, said Yu, especially the Crown Prince and Yu Lian.
"Your fellow students are cleaning themselves up." Answer Lin Hua.
Lin Hua's reply made Wu Mei's face instantly cheerful and look enthusiastic. Lin Hua smiled looking at the change, but there was a concern in her heart seeing Yao Chan's attitude that didn't seem to want to think about the feeling of love.
Some time later Yao Chan arrived at the room with a new robe and a face that looked fresher than before.
Everyone turned their eyes to Princess Wu Mei which made her stunned to see their gazes fixed on her with a faint smile.
After he managed to remember calling out "Gege" to Yao Chan, the countenance of the Princess's face turned red withstanding embarrassment.
"Brother Chan come here. We'd like to hear your story about the Silver Knife"
Crown Prince Wu Jian's voice saved his sister from the seductive gaze of everyone who was in the room.
Yao Chan moved his seat between Wu Mei and Wu Jian. Zhu Yin who saw that, realized that there was a pain in her heart. But he realized something so he could easily neutralize the feeling of pain.
Yao Chan told me about what he had just done. Everyone's eyes were shocked to hear Yao Chan had killed hundreds of people today. Only Zhu Yin and Yu Lian looked relaxed.
They also exchanged words in an exciting conversation about many things until the afternoon. Just as Wu Jian was about to say goodbye, Yu Ma and Lin Yung came entering the room.
That was when Yao Chan's countenance turned serious. He invited Crown Prince Wu Jian, his uncle Lin Yung and Yu Ma to speak in another room.
A huge question mark was seen on Lin Hua's face and the others saw the seriousness on Yao Chan's face.

The day changed into night, sparkling stars adorned the sky of Wu Chang An city. The life of the capital of the Wu Empire began to return.
People go back and forth alternately filling the streets where the merchants crowded peddle goods.
While the travelers get out of the room they stay to just take a walk to enjoy the atmosphere of the bustle of the capital. Or enjoy snacks that are sold along the way.
The night was slow but sure, moving towards his silence. Delivering a beautiful dream to everyone who has fallen asleep in his contest.
But that was not the case for the six people who wore black veils to hide their faces.
Of the six people, two carried bows and dozens of arrows in containers stored on their backs.
"Bai Xun. We'd better split up from here. Don't forget the plan we put together this afternoon."
"Alright Yan..Don't let us fail this time, be careful. If you meet the rumored young man, immediately light the fireworks."
Bai Xun replied to Tao Yan, the second strongest person in the Black Fox Killer group. The two had arrived at Wu Chang An City when it was dusk.
They also managed to meet four other assassins who had been waiting for the arrival of the two of them.
Like what they had originally planned, Tao Yan would be with two assassins at the level of a Late Stage Hermit Swordsman moving towards the Palace to kill the Crown Prince.
While Bai Xun will head to Prime Minister Lin Bao's house with the other Two Final Stage Hermit Swordsmen. One of them carries a bow.
The six people immediately jumped onto the roof of the building where they were staying. Then move with the science of high-level body lightening in two different directions.
In a dozen breaths, Tao Yan and his two friends had arrived at the palace fence wall. Tao Yan immediately pulled out the Heirloom Sword from his back in being followed by one other person.
While one person carrying a bow immediately took two arrows and placed them in his bow.
