I didn't answer the child's question right away.
I glanced at Director. Cong that he understood, and brought the nurse outside.
I observe the little girl's expression carefully. But no matter how long I look, I can't still get a glimpse of her thoughts.
Her eyes didn't reveal anything but calmness, too calm not befitting her age.
If the people in the sect, especially the higher ups in Spy Department know about this, they will surely be surprised.
Fang Zhang Ai, a 7-star and an elder in the Spy Department, can't even read a child's thoughts?
Take note that people in the Spy Department is proficient when it comes to reading a person's thoughts through their body language, behavior and through their eyes. They can see what normal people can't see with just a small clue.
But Fang Zhang Ai, who is known as the 'Eye' of the sect for every mission she did and cases she handled in the past, she solved it all with ease. Not even the best detective of the government can do it.
Her records in the sect is perfect. No mission failed.
It's because her eyes can see through things more clearly, she can see the truth in the problems with just a single clue.
If she was not lazy and accept as many missions like normal spies in sect, she would be either 8-star or 9-star Spy now.
Now that she is already an elder, she became even lazier.
She only accepts mission once a month.
So it was really unexpected that she cannot gouge this little girl in front of her.
Even in the underworld, her name rang far and wide. She is one of the most wanted spy in the underworld.
Her head worth is $ 84,745,000,000 exactly, almost a hundred billion dollars because her every mission involves very huge syndicates, powerful mafias and big drug lords. And they lost billions of dollars because Fang Zhang Ai always interfered in their business that's why they put that huge amount as her bounty.
A lot of assassin tried. But most of them perished in her hands.
Her bounty is still issued but there is no one who accept it.
Even an SS-Rank Assassins can barely escape in her hands.
Most assassins who accepts the bounty are S-Rank and SS-Rank but they can only escape with severe and life threatening injuries.
Thus her strength is evident to all.
There are ten ranks of assassins.
Wether in the underworld or in sect assassins.
E-Rank , D-Rank, C-Rank, B-Rank, A-Rank, AA-Rank, S-Rank, SS-Rank and SSS-Rank and SSS+Rank.
While the Spies and Secret Agents also has ten levels but there is a 'star' beside it.
1-Star,2-Star, 3-Star, 4-Star, 5-Star, 6-Star, 7-Star, 8-Star, 9-Star and 10-Star.
From the weakest to the strongest.
For you to raise your rank. You must accept missions and the points you can get it can help you upgrade your level. If the points is enough.
"Fang Zhang Ai dear."
***
'Fang Zhang Ai?'
I weakly nod and asked her the question that bugging my mind.
"Where is my mother?"
I glanced at her gentle eyes, probing my body.
In my past life. I practiced masking and manipulating my expression and my eyes.
The more they want to read me, the more calm my expression is.
Because expressing your real thoughts can bring trouble to yourself and can ruin your plans.
I even practiced it first than fighting as people in the Imperial Palace are can be considered masters when it comes to manipulating their expressions. So learning it is a must.
"She is in the room next to this one."
She answered with her very gentle and soft voice.
"How is she?"
I held my breath, afraid to hear my mom's situation but still awaiting her answer.
Memories that night resurfaced again in my mind.
Her pained expression.
Her fearful eyes.
This accident...
I don't want it to happen again.
I released the huge amount of air after hearing her answer.
"She's alright, she regained her consciousness two days ago,
You slept for about six days and your situation is not so optimistic. Your internal organs were severely damaged because of backlash from using too much inner force."
'As long as she's alright.' I thought.
Fang Zhang Ai informed me about anything. I know there was people watching outside our restaurant but I felt that they have no ill intent in their gaze.
So I just ignore them but put up my guard, just in case.
However I didn't expect that those people outside are police forces who were responsible of capturing the leader of the thieves which they called Mr. Snake.
And when I heard her mention 'inner force', I know for sure that I met a Martial Artist.
This seemingly harmless and beautiful woman is a Martial Artist, an expert at that.
People said that only your kind can smell and identify you.
I somewhat believe in this saying.
"What do you want from me?" I asked.
The police force can handle the crime but they send her.
It can see that her identity is even more important than the police force.
And I her being a police is impossible.
Because despite looking as such, the smell of blood in her is too thick while her aura is too strong.
Especially, when I search the police forces's bodies that time. Their body didn't have an inner force. They can be either normal police or the police force in this world didn't practice inner force.
But this woman...
Her inner force is massive and heavy, like a surging sea. If she were in my world, she could be an elder of a sect or other organizations.
'She can be a part of the government's special or secret force.'
This hospital is very influential but how the doctor earlier look at the woman carried fear and respect, he were very submissive. So it showed that he knew her identity.
And I can clearly see that this room I am occupying is not a normal one.
It is way more bigger and more elegant than normal rooms in a hospital, even if it is a huge hospital like First Hospital. It's even bigger than a normal building with complete appliances.
They need something from me.
I already have a suspicion but I still asked.
Her answer was simple.
"You killed four men."
Killing is a murder punishable by law, well at least here.
I killed four men but still they treated me and my mother in the hospital.
If a person killed someone, if he's in the right age which is eighteen, then he or she will be put into jail.
While the children will be put into a child center or institute with specialist to guide them mentally because they might be traumatized and they can also pursue their studies there. And when they reach the age of eighteen, they will be put in jail.
But they still brought me here. They can just let me die as I know my situation. If I don't have a spiritual force, then I may died and I might not wake up.
So why would they still treated a child murderer who was in the verge of death?
It can only be...
'An invitation.'
Or it can also be interpreted as a threat.
Because if I refuse their invitation, they will put me in a child center, which else no different than being held captive as you can't go outside, you will just have to stay in the institute with the other children who committed a crime.
The one that they must talk about this things is the child's parent. I don't know why she is telling me this.
"Does my mother know?"
I asked because I am afraid that when she'll know what a monster her child is.
She...might abandon me.
And I can't lose her.
'I can't lose my mom.'
I don't want to be abandoned again.
I don't want to be alone again.
I don't want to lie to her.
I want to tell her my secrets.
I want to tell her the truth.
But...
'Not now.'
I am not ready yet.
That night, I know she didn't saw anything as the man's flashlight died at that time. And it was so dark, normal people can't see in the dark.
'So I hope they didn't tell her yet.'
"No."
A sigh with relief escaped my mouth as I heard her response.
"If I accept the offer, would you send people to protect my mother?" I seriously asked.
The woman ponder for a bit before answering. Her eyes in deep thought.
She looked at me and her gentle eyes contained with an ever blinding brilliance and a small excitement.
"Yes."
This invitation...
I surely would accept.
This is what I need.
A force that will protect my mother as I am not with her all the time to protect her.
Accidents always happen. Like the last time, because of my miscalculation and lack in strength.
Thus, this invitation benefits me greatly.
So my answer is...
A smile.
She understood it and she too, smiled faintly.
Three months quickly passed and I am now completely healed. Actually I am already fine a month ago. My Mama also recovers from her injury and she can now move like in the past.Thanks with the help of the pills that Elder Fan Zhang Ai brought, from Medical House of Sun and Moon Sect.The effect of the pills fasten my recovery.Normally my injuries that time will be completely healed by itself, through my inner force. But it will takes for three to four months.However, with the help of the pills, it healed much faster and earlier than one month.Throughout the month of recuperating, Elder Fan Zhang Ai stayed in the hospital and filled my mind with a lot of basic information about the Sun and Moon Sect.For me to integrate myself better. People cannot act naturally if they didn't know the surroundings that they want to stays to. So this informations really helps me a lot.
"Who are you really YueYue?"Ming Yue's body stilled for a second before releasing a sigh.She glanced at the girl in front of her.Her two eyes, like the starless sky in the dark and silent night, so black and quiet, undisturbed and peaceful.With graceful and elegant temperament yet her aura, oppressive and heavy as a raging ocean within the storm.So magnificent yet violently beautiful it can bring destruction everywhere.This is a person with a lot of secrets and stories to tell.'Like me.'"I'll tell you a story."She said as she put down her mask too.Her face although that of the child, but without the normal expression a child would have.Silver eyes held a cold light, like the moon in the wintry night sky, so clear and breathtaking yet so cold that it can freeze everyone who'll look.

The sun shines faintly, spreading its golden brilliance across the world.In the Capital City of Arinea stands a very huge school called the Capital First Highschool. It is the best high school in all Arinea and the parents' first option for their children to study to, whether if they come from wealthy, respected, or just an average workers.The environment is clean and relaxing yet a competitive air is hovering above the said school.It is still early but voices of excited and nervous students and some parents' ranting are covering the area as it is the start of another school year.The big black gate was already opened widely for them to enter the school.Some students gasps as they saw a luxury black car that sparks under the light of the sun. It was just parked in front of the gate.There are a lot of students who didn't enter the school yet and were chatting with great en
"I have a mission for the both of you."Master Fan Zhang Ai said full of seriousness.Ming Yue and Bai Xiu Lan sat in front and faced their master.It was not the first time that their master issued a mission but her current expression and aura is telling them that this mission might be harder and more difficult than their last missions in the past.Thus, they listen at their master's words with great focus and attention.They are currently in the Fang family's Mansion. The gigantic Mansion is situated in the private island owned by the Fang family called "The Island of Promise".It is called as such because of the promise between the first Patriarch, Fang Shen and Matriarch, Rong Shui of Fang clan.Patriarch Fang Shen got an unknown disease that even with powerful vitality of Martial Artists can be affected, more so the one of the strongest Martial Artist that time
The Faculty of 9th grade teachers in Capital First High School always maintained its cleanliness, all of the things was placed in an organized manner.The combination of white walls and tiles, pale blue curtains and the emerald green colored tables blended together in harmony, creating a calming and refreshing atmosphere.Every teachers have their own table, with full of papers, school stuffs and personal things on it.Teacher Xiao Ling, the Adviser of the 9th grade section A is sitting in her personal chair and stared at the two outstanding students in front.The students that all of the teacher's favorite.Bai Xiu Lan and Ming Yue.The two student who topped the school exams in their batch in their 7th grade, which Ming Yue became first, then Bai Xiu Lan in second and in 8th grade, Bai Xiu Lan in first while Ming Yue became second.
YueYue and I decided to audition here in MS Entertainment first because seven out of fifteen targets are managed or currently working in the said agency.We were given a three years limit so we must complete it fast. We must enter the sect as there are a lot of benefits that we can get.This past years we saw a lot of unreasonable and people who want to drag others down and putting their selves high above.Witnessed how people schemed behind my mother's back when her restaurant was starting to flourish.Witnessed how people with no power, money and authority was treated unjustly.Without the protection of the guards that Master left to guard and protect mother then some of them might succed with their evil plans.Living a simple life.That's my wish when I arrived here in this world. However as times goes by, as I am adapting to my new life I realiz
I stare at the feminine looking and fashionably dressed man in front of me, who introduced himself as a novelist named Yi Jun, who in response stared intensely on my body. His eyes gazing back and forth between me and LanLan.He looks to be in his late thirties with pale white skin wearing an expensive looking white shirt with long sleeve paired with a high waisted black loose jeans and six inch high black heels, making his already tall figure taller.Tall, attractive and straight forward is the best way to describe him.And a little pervert the way he stare at me and LanLan. But his gaze didn't contain malice and lust like any other men. So it's fine, we won't come with him if he has an ulterior motive.If he didn't tell me he's a novelist, I consider him as a fashion model.I label him as a man because there are some men who wears heels and act feminine but they consider their selves a man.
