The Legend of Min Hong

"Then he replaced them with the five strongest experts they met at the Land of Stones and it is with this group that they marched on to the next mission site…"

"Does that mean you still have five core court disciples in danger currently?" Chu Yang asked with a concerned expression;

"No your majesty, we only have four core court disciples, Fei Hong included…" The Sect Leader replied;

"Then who's the fifth!?" Patriarch Huang asked as Fifth stepped forward;

"Your majesty, you might want to brace yourself for this one…"

"Eh?"

"It is the crown princess of the Cui Super Clan!"

Bang! Crash! Pra-pa-ra! 

Patriarch Huang reflexively smacked the table in front of him and it split in equal halves as the chess board fell to the ground scattering the numerous pieces all over the ground;

"Are you both messing with me!?" Patriarch Huang's face became solemn followed by that of Chu Yang and the mysterious hooded figure;

"No your majesty, seven generation wouldn't dare, and even 77 generations wouldn't be able to atone for such sins!" Fifth and the Sect Leader went straight to their knees and bowed their faces to the ground;

"The Cui Super Clan has holed themselves within their clan for hundreds of years, and maybe, and perhaps maybe, only one or two of their most distant members would be sent on missions outside their clan every four years, and you are here telling me that they sent their princess over!?" Patriarch Huang's beards were trembling at this point;

"Yes, your highness, and as a matter of fact she had been living with Fei Hong for the over three weeks before following him on these mission…"

"You can send someone to the sect to validate our claims, your majesty!"

Fifth and the Sect Leader spoke so fast one would think they were eating hot yam because one word, just a single word, and they were done for…

In any case, their Super Clans would even come to apologize and best case scenario, their Super Clans would be compensated for their deaths…

But when Patriarch Huang heard this, he didn't want to say another word but his anger was still flaring and thus he added;

"And why am I just hearing about this!?" He bellowed;

"We wanted to confirm the validity of the rumor and thus we went to investigate personally…"

"We took a portrait of the Cui Super Clan Matriarch which was drawn a long time ago and we showed it to numerous Outer, Inner and even some Core Court disciples who all claimed to have seen someone like that around Fei Hong, your majesty…"

"Then I saw her also when they were leaving for the missions finally…"

"And when did they leave for the missions!?" patriarch Huang bellowed and it was then they realized that they have said something they shouldn't have;

"T-th-three months ago, your majesty…"

"What!?"

"You!-"  Patriarch Huang almost had a heart attack before Chu Yang calmed him down and spoke to the du calmly;

"Do you know who the Cui Super Clan are?" "Do you know the significance of simply mentioning their name in public?"

"Do you know the repercussion of them sending someone to the Imperial Court?"

"All of these are considered sins to them and they instantly judge by beheading anyone who causes all of this..."

"But all of that is based on their most distant member…" Chu Yang spoke about everything he had read in the history books and most of them were bloody;

"Now imagine it being their crown princess…" "The fact that she is anywhere is a disaster waiting to happen wherever she is…"

"Should any man, and I mean any man smile at her without an Imperial consent, it is a disaster for the entire clan such a person comes from…"

"But now,, you are telling us she had been within the Sect for over three months and you didn't tell anyone?"

"You have just doomed the entire Desert Sun Sect and its environs…" Chu yang explained clearly to the Sect Leader duo who were now sweating bullets;

"But luckily for you, she is no longer within the Empire, but it doesn't change the fact that someone from your sect took her out of the clan, and also the fact that you were the one tied to the mission in the first place…"

"The future of your Jin Super Clan looks very grim, sect leader…"

"We will have to call a meeting with the all the Leaders in the Empire, and warn them…"

"No one is to come in contact with her, and they should treat her like a tyrant Emperor… No one is to speak to her except when spoken- in fact, declare a state of emergency…"

Chu Yang blurted one after the other as the Sect Leader and Fifth had their jaws slacked open in terror, in fact they were just staring and blinking blankly at the Emperor and Chu Yang;

"Yang'er calm down, that would simply cause chaos, and breed an opportunity for what we are trying to avoid happening…"

"Send a letter to every Super Clan Head and have them monitor their regions strictly, and if they fail to do so, let them bear the consequences themselves, the Imperial Super Clan would have nothing to do with whatever ensues afterwards…" Patriarch Huang spoke and a voice abruptly sounded from somewhere within the chamber;

"As you wish, your majesty…" Then everywhere went silent once again;

"This Fei Hong of a boy… He is swimming leisurely in front of a famished crocodile…" Patriarch Huang muttered before adding;

"Hope no one had behaved in an untoward way towards her?"

"N-no, your majesty…"

"In fact, one of her guards is currently residing within our sect as per the Princess orders…"

"She even came with a guard and chose to follow Fei Hong alone!?"

"What is going on, things are not going according to history, or are we talking about someone else?" Chu Huang added after his father;

"Alright, take an Imperial Convoy and goo fetch the Cui Guard…"

"Yes, your majesty…"

The hooded figure added before urging the Sect Leader dup to leave their report behind and leave…

Then Patriarch Huang picked up the scroll where the Sect Leader duo had written everything they knew about Min Hong as well as his entire report since the Imperials would need it to determine the credibility of the person making the report…
