Chapter 1070:

Bai He’s face was somber. Bai He was always a suspicious person, and these assassins and guards had often worked under Yun Yan, the great leader of Hongyi in Jiao State. What kind of person was Yun Yan? She was someone calm in temperament and not fond of suspicion. If the assassins told Yun Yan the other party was a mover, Yun Yan might believe it. However, if the person telling was Bai He, the Red Clothes Great Master, it would inevitably invite doubt.

Bai He said nothing, walked softly to their side, and asked, “So you’re saying, the three of you couldn’t even beat a mover?”

“Uh…” The two men were stunned, hurriedly knelt down, and said, “Sect Leader, our skills are inadequate, please punish us!”

“Punish? Of course, there must be punishment!” Bai He snorted coldly. “If I don’t punish you, how could I face others in the future!”

With that, Bai He pulled out two daggers from her sleeve and stabbed them into the necks of the two men. The two men died on the spot, soon collapsing to the ground. The two turned slowly, staring in shock at Bai He. They hadn’t expected that their devoted service to the Church Court would end in such a manner—not on the battlefield, not under the enemy’s blade, but at the hands of their own. This made them particularly discontent.

“Why…” the two asked painfully, then fell to the ground, motionless.

“Hmph, why indeed!” Bai He snorted lightly. She pulled the daggers from their necks and coldly questioned, “Three people couldn’t even handle a so-called mover. Why would I keep you? Useless people have no place in the Church Court!”

Saying this, Bai He put the daggers back into her bosom and shouted, “Someone come!”

“Sect Leader!” Two armored men hurried in.

“Drag these useless things out and bury them!” Bai He shouted loudly.

“Yes!” The two guards nodded immediately.

Soon, the two guards dragged the bodies out. Bai He turned around, gently lifting the red veil. Unexpectedly, after so much time, she had finally sat on the throne of the Red Clothes Great Master. Bai He smiled lightly, then smiled again. She called out, “Hong Xiang!”

“Sect Leader!” A woman in white, graceful and charming, walked out, wearing a soft smile, and said, “What instructions does the Sect Leader have?”

“Haha, Hong Xiang, don’t be so reserved!” Bai He chuckled. “You were once my subordinate, and now, following me, we’re out in the open. We used to be in the intelligence department, living in obscurity, collecting information day after day without a moment’s peace. Now, things have changed. We’re finally out. We finally stand above others, commanding their destinies!”

“Sister Bai He!” Hong Xiang glanced down at the bloodstains on the ground and seemed to understand something, growing somewhat worried. Looking at Bai He, she said, “I… I think maybe we should be a bit more low-key?”

“Low-key? Why be low-key?” Bai He snorted lightly and said, “I want to elevate all our former intelligence department people and crush all those who once oppressed and troubled us, making them do the hardest and most tiring work.”

“Sister…” Hong Xiang frowned.

“Enough, don’t say anything!” Bai He waved a hand and said, “Just tell me if you are willing to go to China with me tomorrow. I want to personally deal with that despicable Yun Yan. She was the worst, most oppressive person to me in the Church Court. Hmph, this time, I will make her see my power!”

“Yun Yan? Oh my, isn’t she… isn’t she dead?” Hong Xiang was stunned.

“No, she’s not dead!” Bai He immediately shook her hand and said, “She merely disappeared. This time, the intelligence department found her trail, so this time she cannot continue to live in this world!”

“Sister Bai He, I’m not sure if I should say this…” Hong Xiang frowned.

“Just speak your mind!” Bai He nodded and said.

“The ancients say, ‘Let it go if you can.’ I think we should just let it be!” Hong Xiang hurriedly said, “Why eradicate someone completely? Moreover, Yun Yan is already pitiable enough. I think we should just let it go!”

“No!” Bai He immediately sneered and said, “To cut the weeds, you must remove the roots. Otherwise, it will be trouble for us in the future!”

“Sister Bai He…” Hong Xiang wanted to say more, but Bai He stopped her and said, “Will you go with me tomorrow? If you are going, don’t say anything. If not, then step aside!”

“Alright, I’ll go!” Hong Xiang reluctantly nodded.

“Hong Xiang, don’t worry. As long as you follow me, I will ensure you live well. I won’t let you live in fear as you did before!” Bai He’s ambition seemed to cover the entire Church Court under her control. Unfortunately, some things weren’t as simple as she imagined. Would the Old Madam really hand the position of Red Clothes Great Master to someone from the intelligence department?

The next day, Bai He and Hong Xiang left the Church Court and flew directly to Shanghai from Italy.

Just after they left, a black-clothed man hurried into the back mountain, where the Old Madam was in seclusion. Everyone believed that no one could enter after the Old Madam went into seclusion, but no one knew that this information was false. After the Old Madam went into seclusion, she specifically instructed a confidant to report to her everything Bai He did in the Church Court.

The man entered the back mountain and activated a mechanism. A door just large enough for a person opened. Then, the man swiftly entered the back mountain, and the door quickly closed, restoring its original appearance.

“How is the situation?” The Old Madam meditated with her eyes closed.

“The Red Clothes Great Master and Hong Xiang have already set out for China!” The man hurriedly said, “It is said they have discovered Yun Yan’s whereabouts. Their trip is aimed at assassinating Yun Yan!”

“Yun Yan is still alive?” The Old Madam was stunned, exclaiming, “That blow was something I delivered personally. There’s a ninety percent chance she’s dead. How could she still be alive? Is the intelligence incorrect?”

“No, I heard it with my own ears!” The man quickly said.

“Hmm, then there are two possibilities. One is that they are concealing their true intentions, and in fact, they have other plans in China; the other is that Yun Yan indeed survived.” The Old Madam’s eyes flashed with an odd expression. Then, she sighed and said, “Forget it, let them be. Some things must have an end, don’t they?”

“Yes!” The man nodded immediately.

“And what else? What has Bai He been doing in the Church Court?” The Old Madam asked hurriedly.

“The Red Clothes Great Master has elevated all the former intelligence department personnel, suppressing dissenters, and has reassigned some important departmental leaders to frontline positions…” The man reported Bai He’s actions one by one. Everything reached the Old Madam’s ears. The Old Madam frowned, finding it very strange. Why was Bai He doing this? Then, she quickly realized it must be Bai He retaliating against those who were unkind to her before. She also promoted her own people.

“Never mind, let her be, who doesn’t have a temperament?” The Old Madam waved her hand and said, “Go back and continue to supervise her. Moreover, keep an eye on all the actions of those promoted from the intelligence department.”

“Yes!” The man nodded immediately.

Soon, the man exited the back mountain and returned to his post in the Church Court.

In Shanghai, a plane slowly came to a halt on the tarmac, with two beautiful, colorfully dressed women disembarking. The two wore large sunglasses that covered almost half their faces. As they stepped off the plane, they immediately attracted the attention and gazes of countless men. Some bold souls immediately approached to show their favor, but unfortunately, Bai He and Hong Xiang did not pay them any mind.

In their gaze, such ordinary people did not match them at all. The men in their hearts should be outstanding heroes, and if not heroes, then high-ranking leaders within the two Hidden Family clans, certainly not these seemingly impressive ordinary men.

“Sister, they seem quite interested in you, don’t they?” Hong Xiang joked with a laugh.

“Bah, people like them aren’t even fit to lick my shoes!” Bai He snorted, “Any man in our Church Court is far better than them. Do you think I would deign to look at them?”

“That’s different,” Hong Xiang smiled quietly. “Sometimes I want to marry an ordinary man and live a quiet, simple life together.”

“Hong Xiang, you can’t have such thoughts!” Bai He said earnestly, “You are a part of the Church Court. You cannot leave with an ordinary person, or it will ruin your life. Moreover, what’s so good about ordinary people, when many excellent men in the Church Court are such strong warriors. For instance, the team leader of the guard team, how strong he is. A hundred ordinary men wouldn’t be his match!”
