Chương 30: Seeking Ah Yue Jin's wrath
The story narrator finished and looked at everyone to see they were all staring foolishly at him.
"W-hat?" He asked.
Someone snapped out of their daze and said, "did you say fifth young master Xie was not touched even when he was supposed to be punished the most?"
"I thought so too until older brother talked about his problem just now." The narrator said.
"Then, are you saying she did that to him?" Someone asked.
"What else do you think? Of course, it's her doing. Even the other two young masters are having a difficult time with their injuries." The man with the scar on his face chimed in.
"Big brother, what do you mean?"
"The young master of the Zhou family who had his ear sliced off and the young master of the Du family who was crippled always screams at night."
"Why?"
"They say when it's late into the night, their wounds start to burn like there was a fire in it until the sound of a cockcrow."
"Ahhh!!! That's horrific!"
" Serves them right. Now the capital will enjoy peace for a long time."
"I wish."
"Why did you say so, big brother?"
"The capital Is about to be chaotic. The three families are angry and are searching everywhere for the lady in black that you talked about."
"That's bad. I hope she's able to escape."
"Everyone hopes so too."
"But why is the emperor not doing anything about those families that are slowly showing their fangs? The emperor is on the throne and they are causing a rampage under his nose."
"Who told you so? The emperor is definitely aware. I heard that the lady in black is a member of the sword of death assassin and you know that the emperor is all out to get his hands on that group."
At the mention of the 'sword of death assassin', Ah Yue Jin's exciting personality suddenly changed and he narrowed his covered eyes at the man with a scar.
To him, the next word anybody in the pool says determines if they'll keep enjoying their lives or would be going to pay homage to their ancestors today.
Well, to his amusement, a person who had been missing his first generation grandmother blurted out with much hatred.
"That guild should be wiped out! I'll go to the temple and pray to the goddess so that the emperor can find them and kill them all!"
Ah Yue Jin glanced at the middle-aged man and curled his lips into a smile while thinking of the best way to punish this man.
The others were surprised at the anger and hatred he had for the guild.
The guy with a scar pulled himself together and cleared his throat. "Brother, calm down. What have they done to you that you would hate them so much?"
"Yes, tell us, brother."
"That guild killed my innocent brother and wrote, 'we bring you peace' on his corpse. How could the leader do that to my innocent brother? Now everyone thinks my brother was a bad person."
"I heard that the leader of that guild has no time for mere matters. They have been traveling around and just recently came back and from the trader I heard it from, the leader is set on destroying poison valley soon. So how did they have the time to kill your brother?
Also, I heard that other guilds are silently waging war against the sword of death assassin guild. Have you ever thought that your brother might have been killed by a guild who wants to frame the sword of death assassin master?" Ah Yue Jin asked like he was bored.
"People thought so too, but I refused to believe otherwise. They are bloodthirsty bandits and should be wiped out!"
"Ok, you are right." Ah Yue Jin nodded and relaxed his back on the edge of the pool while his eyes were accessing the man.
"Second brother, I think what the little brother over there said made sense. Everyone knows that the sword of death assassin guild doesn't do irrelevant things. If they truly killed your brother, then he must have done something wrong."
"How could you say that about my brother?! He is a fine businessman! He was robbed and killed on his way to the other cities at the boundary of southern Hua and northern Wei. Isn't that where the emperor's carriage got robbed by the same guild too?!" The man fumed as he stared daggers at the person who spoke.
"You, calm down. We are not here to fight. You all paid to get into this water to listen to the new happenings in the kingdom. First of all, it is wrong of you to assume that the sword of death assassins would care about your brother who is a small-time businessman.
Secondly, you are also wrong to compare the emperor's carriage to your brother's.
The sword of death assassin guild has always been on odds terms with the emperor and whenever they hear the slightest news of the emperor's property leaving the capital, they jump into action, just to rile him up.
The whole kingdom knows that the only people who could annoy the emperor so much that he would send out armies for their sake are the sword of death assassins. Fortunately, no one knows where their guild is located."
The scarred face man said in a bid to make the other man understand. However, the latter was hell-bent on wishing misfortune on the sword of death assassin guild.
Ah Yue Jin got up from the pool and was about to leave when the scarred man asked him, "younger brother, are you already leaving? I still have more stories to tell, like, the Chǒu Lèi kingdom."
Hearing that, Ah Yue Jin paused and so were the people in the pool.
