It was at this moment a muffled sound came from above. To Bai Zhi, she can only feel her head spinning after getting hit with something.

Slimy to the touch as she rubbed her forehead, only then does she realizes it that's it's her own blood! Twisting from her anger, she screams with madness in her voice: "Who, who dares to hit me?"

Yet......

Just as Bai Zhi finished turning her head, another whack came flying down from above at her shoulder.

"Bai Zhi, you bitch, I'm the one beating you!"

Under the moonlight, a young girl with strong excitement coursing through her face was holding the stick responsible for the attack.

"It's you!" When seeing for the first time it's Lan Xiaoyun (girl cousin) that's behind herself, Bai Zhi's eye went red instantly. "Humph, what else can a defeated loser like you do other than attacking from behind?"

"Defeated loser? Do you mean me?" Playing with the dangerous stick in her hand, Lan Xiaoyun made no effort to hide her willingness to use it. "If you didn't have help the other day then I would never have lost to you."

No matter how fierce a tiger was, it cannot fend off multiple foes at once, hence the reason why Bai Zhi was able to pull one over Lan Xiaoyun before. And to make the story even more aggravating, the shameless wrench had the audacity to claim she's the one being bullied after returning home, causing Bai Zheng Xiang to run off to make trouble at the Lan House afterwards.

"Xiaoyun," loosening her crossed arms, Bai Yan slowly advances forward. "Tonight you can vent to your hearts content. I will take responsibility for whatever happens today." A dominant and overbearing aura exudes out of that red figure, closing off any possible escape for the prey.

"You two......"

Steaming with anger, Bai Zhi attempts to point her finger at them only to be whacked again by that hateful stick. All of a sudden, a mournfully painful cry echoes across the night sky, making the night ever so spooky.

"Lan Xiaoyun, you bitch!" Clinging onto her painful arm, she bears her fangs at the encroaching figures in a last-ditch effort to make herself more threatening.

Then without indication, Bai Yan who was standing behind her cousin suddenly leans backward with one of her legs raised forward...

Bang!

One kick to the chest, that's all it took to make Bai Zhi fly across the street and smash into a tree. From her mouth, blood begins to vomit out of that twisted mouth.

Seeing her enemies messed up appearance, Lan Xiaoyun became ecstatic and rushed over like a raving wolverine. With herself on top, she began trouncing the girl below with her punishing fist.

"Weren't you really arrogant just now? What's going on, hurry and come at me. I still have my cousin here!"

Over the years, there's been quite a bit of steam pent up inside Lan Xiaoyun's body thanks to Bai Zhi's doing. To have her grievances answered tonight, there's no way she won't let it rip. Very soon, the girl below had lost her consciousness at the constant beating from above.

"Xiaoyun, remember not to kill her. She hasn't reached the point where she can die yet."

Slowly retracting her gaze from the pair, Bai Yan's vision shifts up to the night sky as her brow curled into a slight knot.

It's been so long, they should be here soon...

Just as she was thinking this, a loud screech of an eagle's call broke the night. This also startled the venting girl on the floor, making Lan Xiaoyun jumping up with fright.

"Cousin, what happened?"

As soon as this question was made, a giant eagle swoops down from above and lands in front of them with lightning speed.

Riding on top was a beautiful woman. Dressed in a pink dress with an alluring smile, the first image one would get from this person would be a "brothel keeper"!

"Cousin..." Lan Xiaoyun nervously tugs at Bai Yan's sleeve, "Who is this woman? Is she here to seek you?"

She didn't answer the question, only smiling at the newcomer: "Hua Luo, you seem to be late..."

"Hohoho," giggling at the remark, the woman jumps off the eagle in one smooth swing. "I met a little trouble on the road, that's why I'm late. But Mistress, who is this girl here, your sister? She's not bad, why not let her come to my Flower Brothel for work. How about it?"

Those winking eyes could literally discharge electricity from how foxy they were. Even for Lan Xiaoyun who's a girl, her skin was going all goose bump on her.

"Cousin..." Grouchily sending a stare over to the provocative woman, she asks, "Who is she, and what is..."

Lan Xiaoyun wanted to say Flower Brother in the end, but her hands reflexively cupped her own mouth to keep it in.

That Flower Brothel?

"Hua Luo, Xiaoyun is still a child, you mustn't scare her."

Bai Yan didn't get angry at the little tease. She knew long ago this subordinate of hers would be like this. Besides, she's not the type to suppress her people's true nature, that's not her style.

"Mistress, I'm only playing with her a little." Giggling again, she sends a charming smile at that little face hiding behind Bai Yan, "No matter how courageous I am, I would never dare do something as to send your cousin there to receive clients."

Flower Brother, on the surface it's a place where men could to play with woman if they have the money, but in reality, it's an intelligence agency. Even now, no other forces out there know exactly how much information this power has in its vault.

This fact was no secret among the powerful forces out there in these lands. Rather, it's the ordinary folks who have clue about this organization and continues to take it as nothing more than a brothel.

Therefore, as the young miss of the Lan House, she's not new to this name.

"Cousin, she is someone from the Flower Brothel? Really that Flower Brothel?" Lan Xiaoyun pulls at Bai Yan's sleeve, her lips trembling as she asked, "Why would she be calling you Mistress?"

"There's no mistake, she's the keeper of the Flower Brothel, Hua Luo." Bai Yan didn't deny it.

Due to the extreme shock of the news, Lan Xiaoyun nearly fainted on the spot. Never in her dreams did she expect the true master behind the Flower Brothel would be her own cousin here.

Oh heavens, is there anything in this world more explosive and sensational?

"Cousin, hurry and tell me, how did you become the master of the Flower Brothel. They are an entity that can stand up to the royal family, a power that can crush the Bai family!"

Flushed red from being overexcited, the girl nearly couldn't breathe there.

If this matter becomes known to grandfather, it's likely he will faint from excitement.

"I will tell you later about that." Making a faint smile, Bai Yan shifts her gaze back to Hua Luo: "There is one thing I want you to do."

As soon as she heard Bai Yan was getting down to business, Hua Luo's expression turned serious: "Mistress, please instruct me."

"I suspect my mother's death must have something to do with Yu Rong. You are to thoroughly investigate this matter. In addition, you are to find out the activities of every member of the Bai House over these years," cold in her gaze, "including Yu Rong's history before she married into the Bai family."

Raising her head in surprise, Hua Luo looks to the woman she calls Mistress and found a chill running down her back.

"The Bai family has done too many evil things over the years. Even if I destroy them now it won't be enough to make up for their sins. I must ruin their reputation so they can never stand up again!"
