Everything that man said was based on Fu Xie Lan's orders. The girl had prepared everything thoroughly. Even for something that no one expected.

Walking away from the Hunter Village, Fu Xie Lan and the others took off their respective robes, doing so that their presence would not be too conspicuous.

​​

While the purpose of wearing robes while still in the Hunter Village was to avoid the villagers' suspicions when they passed them.

They then rented horse-drawn several carriages in the next village.

They will use a horse carriage so they can quickly get to the royal city, to be precise the market in the city center. While the carriages were to transport carts containing their prey.

The journey from the hunter village to the royal city usually took five hours by carriage.

And during the trip, Fu Xie Lan and Xue Ning had the opportunity to rest in the carriage. As for Wan Lie and Ju Xian, the two of them took turns taking turns as well as Qiao and Lim.

Passing through several Villages, in and out of the forest and down the valley, they were almost at the Royal City. A city where all the activities of the population are concentrated in that place.

Dawn broke, bursts of orange color slowly began to sprinkle on the eastern horizon. The fresh breeze blew slowly carrying the scent of the soil wet with dew.

From where they were, the gates of the royal city had been seen from a distance, the torches that were still burning brightly at the gates seemed to be a guide for those heading to that place.

Fu Xie Lan blinked her eyes, the cool breeze that blew so fresh managed to wake her up from her slumber.

Neither did Xue Ning who was right next to him.

It was already early in the morning. Soon they will arrive at the Royal City.

The closer she got to the place, for some reason Fu Xie Lan's heart was beating so fast. There was a feeling of emotion, longing, and hatred that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

.

.

.

The atmosphere around the gate is already bustling, the sunlight is slowly starting to show its arrogance, the typical morning air is still very pronounced. The six people managed to pass through the gates of the royal city without the slightest obstacle.

And here they were, in front of a not very large building.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

Qiao knocked on the door slowly. There was no response whatsoever, he again did the same thing five times until he heard footsteps coming from behind.

"I thought who was there," a voice from behind caught everyone's attention. They immediately turned around to look for the source of the voice.

A middle-aged man with a stature that is so large enters everyone's eyes, has a body that is not so tall, one eye looks blind with a scar from the corner of the left eyebrow extending to the right cheek as if splitting the man's face. "Where is Qian Cheng?" asked the man approaching, past Fu Xie Lan and the others, stepped towards the door and opened it.

"Come in, there's no one in there," he said, opening the door wide.

"The chairman isn't feeling well, so he can't be with us," Qiao replied.

"Hmm.. a new member?" he asked as his eyes caught different people than he usually saw.

"That's how it is," Qiao responded quickly.

"Get to the point, we want to sell our hunt. Are you still accepting?" Qiao asked.

"Weren't you guys recently..."

"We have a new member, so our hunt has also increased, more than usual," Qiao cut in quickly.

The chubby man seemed to be nodding.

"Hmm, I want to buy your prey but just look, the meat I have is already too much, more than the usual stock."

"Looks like this time, I can't buy your hunt, maybe next time?" he added again.

"Is that so?" Qiao asked with a sigh. His eyes scanned the room as did Fu Xie Lan and the others.

Right not far from them, many pieces of meat were hanging freely on the beams that seemed to have been specially prepared for the meat. even a few large bones were lying on the tables.

"Maybe next time, because this time I'm overstocked," the man repeated.

"Hmm, that's a shame, even though one of our prey is a tiger," Qiao said with a rough sigh.

"If so, we should look for other collectors," he added.

Hearing Qiao's words, the plump man's eyes flashed.

"Wait, what did you say just now? A tiger?" he asked.

"Yes, that's right," Qiao answered casually.

"Why didn't you tell me straight away? If this is the case I can buy your hunt," said the man again with a happy smile showing his friendly intentions, in contrast to the scar on his face that was so scary.

"But we will only give you the tiger if you buy other hunts as well," Qiao replied.

"It's okay, give it all to me," the man chuckled.

They then made a transaction and managed to obtain more gold coins than Fu Xie Lan had expected. Finished with the business, they then leave from there.

Coming out of the room, the atmosphere outside is already very bright. They walked leisurely combing the main road that began to be filled with residents. The horse carriage that had escorted them earlier had returned. Even the cart they brought before they gave to the merchant earlier for free.

Fu Xie Lan walked first, leading the others as if she already knew the place.

Turned at a crossroads, and not far from there Fu Xie Lan entered the courtyard of a not very large tavern. Of course, the others followed.

"Uncle I ordered two pieces of food anything," she said to the waiter there then looked for a suitable place for them to rest for a while.

And this was where Fu Xie Lan and the other five people were. In the corner of the room that has a slightly elongated table with wooden chairs that adjust the length of the table.

There were only them and a few people in the room, perhaps because it was so early.

"Please, sir," said the waiter placing two plates of food and drink on the table.

Fu Xie Lan just nodded at the maidservant's words.

"All right, if you still want something. Just tell us, sir."

Fu Xie Lan again gave the same response.

"You two eat, your bodies must be very tired," said Fu Xie Lan looking at Qiao and Lim.

"B-but, what about y-you?" stammered Lim.

"Don't think about us," Xue Ning now chimed in. Right, they currently don't need any food or drink.
