The Legend of Min Hong

"So, he truly cares about me?"

She thought to herself before looking at Min Hong with a smitten face of her own…

Min Hong realized he seemed to be getting unwarranted love and compliments and was stunned, thus he quickly moved on with the topic to ward of the awkward scenario…

"So, what do you think we should do?" Elder Fu seemed to be the calmest and most composed of them all;

"We should always be aware of our surroundings at all time and maintain the mentality that we might be needed to ward off an ambush at all times; but most importantly, that our opponents might be way stronger than we believe…"

Min Hong made sure to add an expression of pure solemnity as he spoke and it did really work because the moment he finished his statement, the entire room became solemn and some were even giving out and infuriated vibe;

"We got complacent, but now that we have realized it before our opponent acted, we must make sure it never happens again…" Xiao Gui calmly brought rationality back into their minds;

"True, to think we could lose our guard and sleep that nonchalantly in an enemy base where kidnappings had just occurred; that's just nothing but unprofessionalism at its height…" Gong Yi added;

"Yeah, especially, when you consider the fact that we are the ones investigating the kidnappings…" Elder Fu also chipped in;

"It is fine and alright… This was why we were on this mission in the first place…"

"It was to gain experience, and this one is one we should keep to heart…" Min Hong relieved the guilt and self-pity in the atmosphere as everyone once again began to feel good about themselves;

"Alright Leader… So what do you think we should do now?"

"Should we act that we don't know yet and wait till they fall into our traps before wiping them of the planet?" Gu Ming asked;

"It doesn't matter how we behave, because they would have to act sooner or later…"

"Our presence here is an obstruction to their schemes and they would want us gone as soon as possible; either by friendly or unfriendly means…" Min Hong responded and Gu Ming nodded;

"Alright, let's head out everyone, we have work to do…" Min Hong responded as they all left the building in the carriage that was sent over…

Thirty minutes later, the two groups were already within the neighboring residence to the one they investigated the last time, and as usual, there was the Left Grand Elder, Right Grand Elder, Tribe Lady and Tribe Leader following them around…

But today, just before they split up, Min Hong had sent a mental transmission to the group to shuffle up, and now, he was having; Ki Ting, Mao My, Tong Tian and Gu Ming with him, whilst the Gong Yi was having; Xiao Gui, Elder Fu, Yu Ming and the Princess…

Furthermore, he also told them to swap the ones using mystic techniques in the investigations;

This was because he had figured out that the Left grand Elder might have as well sent a mental transmission to the rest that they should pay attention to the Princess since she was most likely the one who used the technique he was so scared of the last time;

But as fate would have it, the Left grand Elder did send the mental transmission…

Thus, this time, Gong Yi continued with his technique since no one knew he used one the last time as he summoned his Ghost Eyed Mouse whilst Elder Fu used his keen discretion and intuitive experience to determine what happened within the floor he was currently investigating...

The rest were simply doing basic physical investigation in a bid to disorient the Tribe Leader and Lad from figuring out who amongst them were using mystic arts to investigate…

On the other side, were Min Hong's group, and today he was with Mao My being tailed by the Left Grand Elder, whilst Ki Ting and Tong Tian were being tailed by the Right Grand Elder who must be following the instruction of the Left grand Elder, leaving Gu Ming who was a mercenary to investigate the area, and it was this that became the undoing of the Left grand Elder and his group…

This was because they had been so focused on Min Hong's group that they didn't realize that Min Hong had dropped off Little Fei and Daniel who were already within their mansion searching as fast as they could in vast numbers…

Currently the duo had just realized that it seems the Tribe Leader and Lady had been chased from main mansions and were currently residing close to one another to the left of the main mansion with the Tribe Leader taking the closer mansion to the main mansion whilst his wife was living in the last one at the edge…

On the other side, Elder Ken was at the edge with the Right grand Elder being close to the main mansion where Little Fei and Daniel were shocked to find out has been taken over by the Left grand Elder…

Whilst they were searching over there, Min Hong's group were still investigating over here;

The Left grand Elder was gritting his teeth in frustration when he noticed that Min Hong and Mao My didn't seem to be using any technique or mystic arts and were busy doing basic investigation which meant he couldn't go and see what Gu Ming was doing at the ground floor…

After about three solid hours, they were already done with their investigations and the Left Grand Elder was already hinting them to return but Min Hong had contacted Little Fei and Daniel via mental transmission, that they were just about to begin searching the main mansion and they would need a bit more time…

Min Hong calculated that the dup would need at least about 2 hours to search the entire mansion even with the help of the two anthills they took over, but judging from the haste that the Left grand Elder was insinuating that they leave, he was absolutely sure he wouldn't be able to even buy half an hour of time not to talk of two;

'So, you are giving us no choice but to move our plans forward unh?' Min Hong thought…
