02. Big Plan

"Go?" The woman with the disgusting face brought her face closer until their noses almost touched. "This is our wedding night and I want my husband completely. Fuma, do you really not want me?"

The groom looked away with a look of disgust. He felt that he would rather die than have sex with a woman with a monster face, even though she was the emperor's daughter.

The ugly woman looks increasingly impatient to reveal the mask of the man beneath her. This man's attitude of refusal and rebellious stare really made her feel even more challenged.

She wanted to forcefully pull off the mask covering her husband's face, but what happened was not what she expected.

"Don't touch my mask!" The groom continues to rebel wildly until an unexpected force arrives.

He pushed hard against the body of the woman above him until it came loose, then he ran towards the door.

Loud and long laughter came from the bed. That laughter was like the voice of a female ghost in the middle of the night scaring her victims.

"Run! Run as fast as you can! But don't think you can just get away from me, Fuma!" The bride screamed as she flew, grabbing the groom's leg.

For the sake of being struck by a hand with sharp nails that gripped his ankle so tightly, the man's body swayed and...

Bugg!

There was the sound of an object falling from quite a high place. A young man dressed all in black was seen rolling among a carpet of blood-red flowers that glowed golden, as a result of being hit by the afternoon sun.

The young man opened his eyes suddenly with irregular breathing. His mouth exclaimed, "It turned out to be just a dream!"

Realizing this, he looked very relieved and tried to get up. "I fell asleep apparently."

The young man then looked up, looked at the sky and saw the day starting to creep towards dusk. She stood straight with one hand hidden behind her slender waist.

long hair like strands of shiny black silk and a robe as dark as the night he wore, occasionally flapping in the forest breeze. a black mask made of light metal decorated with carved patterns as a special sign for a group, hanging neatly on his right waist.

A handsome young man stands gracefully and dashingly, in the middle of a meadow of red spider lilies or what are also called equinox flowers. Thousands of flowers with alluring blood-red petals bloomed simultaneously. they increasingly beautify the view in the vast expanse of flower fields stretching from the foot of one cliff to another.

It seemed like the young man was waiting for someone else to come to him, thus making him willing to be in the desert expanse of the flower symbol of death, while enduring the cold attacks of the wind in the Forest of a Thousand Nights.

Not long after, a black shadow was seen jumping down from a tall tree with movements as light as paper. The slender shadow landed near the young man who was still standing gracefully among the red equinox flowers.

A beautiful woman dressed all in black with long hair tied in a ponytail, now knelt behind the young man while clenching her right hand into a fist and joining it with her left hand which remained open.

Without turning around the young man asked, "Ah Wei, how are all the preparations?"

"Report, Chief. Everyone is just waiting for your orders." Qing Wei answered the master while still lowering his head.

the man in black hanfu with a pair of swords strapped to his back looked happy. The glint in his eyes revealed a bright twinkle and a faint smile spread across the corners of his lips. "That's good. Tonight we are moving to the Guo Jin Family residence and when the banquet starts, we should already be there!"

"Ready, Chief!" Qing Wei was still in a kneeling position.

"Get up, Ah Wei!" Qing Yuan gave orders as he walked slowly along the red equinox flower desert with slightly excited steps.

"Thank you, Chief!" Qing Wei exclaimed as she got up and walked behind her young master.

"Our targets this time are the Shen Family and the Yu Family. Two families that are quite formidable with their martial practitioners. So, we have to be very careful when facing them." The young man continued his words. He is Qing Yuan, the leader of the Demon Mask Group from the Forest of a Thousand Nights or also has the other name Yang Yuan.

"Yes, Chief!" Qing Wei said in a firm voice.

"And remember one thing, don't call me Qing when we are outside this forest, call me Yang Yuan!" Qing Yuan stopped then turned around and looked at the beautiful girl who also stopped suddenly.

"Ready, Chief!" Again, only words of obedience came out of the shadow guard girl's mouth.

In fact, if her master ordered she to be killed right now, she would definitely carry out this stupid act without any hesitation whatsoever.

"Ah Wei, yes Ah Wei! Why do I feel so bored hearing that voice from your mouthYou always just agree to whatever I say! There are no other words?" Qing Yuan was a little irritated until his handsome face looked a little sour.

"Sorry, Chairman. Ah Wei doesn't understand what the Chairman means," said Qing Wei with an innocent face.

Qing Wei is a girl specially trained by Qing Fuyu to become one of the shadow guards of the Qing family.

in themselves the shadow guards are only educated to protect their master, while also being killers who only know to take the life of anyone who poses a threat to their master.

They must ignore all personal interests in order to carry out their duties as shadow guards.

"Of course you will never understand. Qing Yuan nudged his subordinate's nose with the tip of his index finger in exasperation. "Really, when have you ever understood? You only know boring things!"

"Ah Wei probably won't understand anything elseAh Wei only knows to help and protect Young Master as our leader." Qing Wei instinctively dodged when the gentle flick almost hit the tip of her nose.

"You stupid!" Qing Yuan grumbled as he sped off to meet his troops followed by Qing Wei who didn't think at all about Qing Yuan's words.

They are heading somewhere to carry out a big plan that has been very well laid out. a grand plan that would shake the jungles of the Jianghu and bring about extraordinary changes to a person.
