"you…why do you have to ask about that, you are just making matters worse," Huo Ying whispered to him then she pinched his hands secretly, he winced when she pinched him so the sect leader and his wife turned to look at Mo Yuhan but he just smiled awkwardly and glared at Huo Ying.

"What are you talking about, if we don't verify this matter, how are we supposed to avoid the sly plans of that alliance leader?" Mo Yuhan whispered to her. ​ ​

"If you know what she did then you wouldn't ask those questions" Huo Ying whispered back, but Mo Yuhan just gazed at her in confusion then he focused his attention back to the sect leader.

"Can't you answer, what did you do?" the sect madam asked with her voice raised, they could see her eyes burning with anger then they immediately realized that her current situation seemed dangerous but it can't be avoided.

At this point, Mo Yuhan was also feeling regretful, he and his guard were already feeling a kind of threatening aura in the room but they couldn't tell where it was coming from.

I shouldn't have asked this question…...

"This is bad, Mother is going to lose it soon, Huo Li…." Huo Ying whispered to herself as she looked at Huo Li with anxiety, Huo Li's condition at this moment can't be described, she fiddled with her fingers and her legs were shaking, even if no one knows how scary her master is when she is angry, she definitely knows.

"He pursued us with the soldiers but they had already seen our faces so we had to kill them when all his men were dead, he tried to escape alone, at that moment, my condition flared up so I ran after him and shattered his bones…." Huo Li said as quickly as she could with her eyes tightly shut and her head cowered.

The sect leader, Mo Yuhan and his guards were all shocked by her confession, she had such a tiny and cute figure but her actions are the opposite of her appearance, if they had not known each other since they were little, Mo Yuhan would definitely be afraid of her but at this moment, he was speechless….

I shouldn't have asked…...

Mo Yuhan said in his mind then he rubbed his forehead, he only regained his senses when he heard a sparking sound, he turned to look at the front of the hall where the sect leader and his wife were seating.

Then his eyes fell on the bracelet she was wearing, the bracelet seemed to be on fire even though it was on her wrist while her hands were tightly clenched together.

Her eyes blazed with fire as they stared intently ay Huo Li but she wasn't saying anything, what they feared the most was about to happen, in a twinkle of an eye, the bracelet came off her wrist and slowly elongated into a long whip.

"As expected, the second of the twin whip, so magnificent and unetched…" Mo Yuhan said softly as his eyes fell on the bracelet which has already changed into its original form.

The whip was made of leather, but it has a golden colour, it also has the ability to stretch into any length the user need it to stretch into, the handle of the whip can also change form to any shape the owner wants it to change into but the body of the whip is even shinier than gold, the bright light emitting from it is enough to blind anyone's eyes but every property of this whip can be controlled anyhow the owner wants it.

The whip is called the twin whip because it is a pair, he second whip was given to Huo Ying at the age of fourteen, Huo Ying has never shown anyone the true form of her whip so she always used it in a normal form.

Anyone who sees her using her whip would think it is only a long whip made of brown leather but the hidden power it possesses s unimaginable for a whip, Huo Ying whip has already been combined with her route of power flow at the age of fourteen but her mother didn't combine hers because she had planned to give the twin to Huo Lan when she returns to the flame sect.

"Now is not the time to admire her whip, if we don't stop her now, she might hurt Huo Li…" Huo Ying said as she tugged his robe snapping him back to reality.

"I almost forgot the matter at hand," Mo Yuhan said then he raised his head to say something but he stopped when a bright light suddenly flashed before their eyes….

Her whip swiftly descended from the high seat down to where Huo Li stood, Huo Li quickly opened her eyes when she heard the lightening sound coming from the whip then she quickly ducked to the side with all her might, with her ability, it is possible for her to dodge the whip once but not twice…

"Sect madam please ease your anger, I am sure that Huo Li was affected by her past condition, please forgive her" Mo Yuhan quickly rushed to the Huo Li's front and bowed his head as he pleaded on her behalf.

"Please forgive her!" the four of them chorused.

The sect leader was also taken aback but his wife's sudden reaction, he knows how rash she can be when she is angry but he didn't expect her to use her whip on her favourite disciple even though she has always spoiled her.

"You should calm down, she should be punished but don't act rashly …" The sect leader pleaded as he held her wrist to calm her down even his plea wouldn't work.

They all thought she was going to forgive her but their thoughts were crushed when they saw her raise her whip again, this time, Huo Li knew that she wouldn't be able to dodge her master's whip, the second attack would definitely make the whip follow its target until it achieves its purpose…

Huo Li shut her eyes to accept her fate while the others focused their attention on the whip as it slowly descended except Huo Ying…

She stretched her palms and summoned her whip, in an instant, the whop appeared on her hand, she quickly turned around and sent the whip flying swords the direction of her mothers attack, since her whip has been combined with her route of power flow, it naturally understands her thoughts, it moved swiftly and wrapped itself around its twin whip….

Just as the whip was about to land on Huo Li, Huo Ying's whip immediately stopped the attack then she pulled her whip causing both whips to hang above her head.

They all heaved a sigh of relief when they Huo Ying stopped the attack while Huo Li who was still keeping her eyes closed slowly opened one of her eyes to see what was happening.

She was surprised to see that the whip was hanging above her head then she turned to look at Huo Ying with a thankful expression on her face but that wasn't the right moment to be sentimental and they were all aware of it.

"Are you ignoring me now?" the sect leader said in a calm but authoritative manner, she continued breathing heavily while her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths as she glared at Huo Li, upon hearing the words of her husband, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath then she sat back on her seat and changed the whip into a bracelet on her wrist.

"Huo Li, I understand that you have been troubled by your inner demon since you were little but you master has been helping you cultivate so you can be free from your inner demon, if you had restrained yourself, after one more year, you would e free from your inner demons but your actions has frustrated your master's effort," the sect leader said softly but in his heart, he was still feeling angry because of her actions.

Huo Li quickly knelt down and bowed her head.

"I am sorry for not controlling myself, I will receive my punishment," Huo Li said.

"Your punishment will be discussed after we avoid the crisis we have at hand," the sect leader said then he turned to face Mo Yuhan.

"what are the plans of the sect alliance?" the sect leader asked

"Sect leader Lin informed the sects that he would send his disciples to send you a message that you are to attend the next alliance meeting to explain yourself," Mo Yuhan said

"If that is the case then we can't just pretend like we didn't get the message, no need for us to attend the alliance meeting," Huo Ying said as she brushed the strands of her that were hovering over her face to the side.

Mo Yuhan smiled when he heard her statement, that is surely what their enemy wants, other people might now know but he knows...

"Would I rush here to inform you of this news if it was as simple as that, he announced at the meeting that, your absence would mean that you re pleading guilty so this is basically a trap for you to fall into?" Mo Yuhan said.

"Also, to avoid making any mistake, he definitely would send his disciples to inform you of the meeting," Xu Yin said after her master.

"That makes sense, so he is going to frame us just like he did before?" Huo Ying said with one of her eyes dimmed in anger.

"This doesn't count as framing you but we still can't let him succeed, whether or not he sends his disciples to inform you of the meeting, you have to attend the meeting," Mo Yuhan said

"But…." Huo Qiang muttered

"If you don't attend the meeting then it is the same as letting them succeed" Mo Yuhan added

"Father, I have been wanting to tell you something…" Huo Ying said with a hint of hesitation.

"Go on"

"Since we are being forced to appear, why don't we take this chance to see Huo Lan?"

"What do you mean by that?" her mother said as she sat forward to listen to her with rapt attention.

"Why don't we take this case to the emperor, after all, a government official is involved, if we are found innocent then we can ask the emperor to grant us the permission to see Huo Lan" Huo Ying said

"That is indeed a good plan," Mo Yuhan said with a smile on his face as he shifted his gaze from Huo Ying to the sect leader.

"I didn't expect that you would use this chance to turn their own attack into their offence" the sect leader answered.

"if the sect alliance wants to convict you then they must have witnessed since the only people that saw you face ae those from Yu-Shan city then I have a way to prevent them from recognising you," Mo Yuhan said

"How?"

"I just need to use the illusion powder on the witnesses if the situation calls for it then they would not be able to recognise you but if you didn't leave any other trace that can help them convict you then I think the problem should be solved," Mo Yuhan said with a confident smile on his face.

"That is indeed a good plan, if not for you, the flame sect would have been caught unawares, we formed this alliance for the benefit of both sects but we are the only ones that have been reaping the benefit, this really makes me feel ashamed," Sect leader Huo said

"Don't speak like that martial uncle, the relationship between both sects can't be considered as an alliance any longer, we are like families so why should e keep account of such things?" Mo Yuhan said

"You have indeed grown into a fine adult, after many years of not seeing you, even your speech is better than an adult, let's not discuss this matter anymore, if you are not in a hurry to leave then you can walk around, we won't disturb you anymore," the sect madam said then she stood up from her seat while sect leader Huo followed after her then they left the reception hall.
