"We have been solitary for too long and there are eyes looking to report any move we make…"

"But what if we end up in trouble?"

​​

"Take this. It should ensure the safety of you three, moreover, if those elders don't interfere, I don't think there is anyone in the younger generation who can be a match for you…"

"Go now…" Her mother spoke with a sweet and doting smile, as the young lady left with two guards…

"Sun'er, may you find favor in the sight of our ancestors and find him, and may the purity of our cultivation method let you find favor in his sight…"

The lady prayed as she watched her daughter fleet gracefully into the distance…

About three weeks later, Mu Bai came over to Min Hong's apartment with three other outer court disciple; one girl and two boys, and when they met Min Hong, he could sense their cultivation were all in the 3 Star Dan Formation stage...

On the girl, he could sense a chill hidden deep within her…

Min Hong wouldn't have been able to sense it at all, but because he had the Primus Dao which was more like the mother of all Daos, he could sense an inkling, but he wasn't sure if it was Ice or Yin Dao…

"Obviously she is using a techniques to mask her Daos… What a fearsome technique!" Min Hong remarked…

As for both boys he could sense one with Wind Intent and Sword Intent;

"Fei Hong these are the three I have chosen to begin our recruitment processing… they are from our network and have been in the outer court for about five years now…"

"Really?"

"Yeah, though they had enough power and merit points to be in the inner court, but they were instructed to stay in the outer court, that way, they can stay hidden and still gather their required quota of information for us…"

"Wei Xun, Fang Xiao, Ji Li, this is our boss, and he is also your boss from now on…" Mu Bai ordered these youths nonchalantly…

Though, they were older and stronger than him, they still held deep reverence for Mu Bai, and the fact that he specifically requested for them for this mission, thus, they were very happy and deeply honored…

"Greetings, young master Fei Hong! We are at your service!"

The trio chorused softly as Min Hong laughed lightly and awkwardly;

"Drop the honorifics, just call me Fei Hong!"

"We dare not, young master Hong!" they refuted softly once again;

"Okay, okay, that's enough… Go and begin your recruitment process…"

"Remember, the consequences of whoever you recruit both good and bad would be suffered by you…"

"So, don't rush and study the person you're bringing referring to the group very deeply before sending them over, am I clear!?"

"As light, master!" The trio chorused softly as Min Hong looked towards Mu Bai with a satisfied smile…

He seemed to be a very reliable person… Actually all of them were reliable in their own fields…

"So, what next Fei Hong?" Mu Bai turned around and ask after his minions left;

"We wait…" Min Hong said as he flashed a cunning smile at Min Hong…

"Alright, if you need anything, just send for me…"

But just as Mu Bai was about to leave, Mu Li came over with about three minions also as he nodded towards Mu Bai before looking to Min Hong;

"Fei Hong, these outer court disciples would be in charge of the outside betting and are here to get the Spirit Stones…"

"Fei Qing!" Min Hong called out…

"Coming, de-"

Min Qing was about to call Min Hong 'dear' but the rest of it stuck in her throat when she saw the figures that were in the living room, especially when she saw Mu Li's face which had a 'I got you!' expression etched on it…

"There are 50,000 spirit stones in here…"

Min Qing said whilst giving Mu Li a 'Got who?' smirk, but she obviously didn't understand who Mu Li was because that expression she just gave just confirmed that his earlier speculations were right…

Min Hong who didn't see what was going on because Min Qing was behind him only saw Mu Li's expression and he thought his cheeky mode has simply been switched on…

Min Qing gave Min Hong a spatial ring before walking across to sit on his left;

"Are they?"

"Yes they are…"

Mu Li replied as he introduced the trio who looked extremely alike; from their height to their complexion, size, cultivation base power and even Daos…

"These are the Jin triplets… Mu Jin, Mu Jin and Mu Jin, meet our leader, Fei Hong and his- well sister, Fei Qing…"

"Greetings, young master Fei Hong and young mistress Fei Qing…" Min Hong sighed mentally…

These people had a very boring mode of greetings, and with the way they behaved, it would be a real miracle for them to have any friends…

"Perhaps, they purposely do that so people can ignore them, helping them keep a much lower profile…"

Min Hong thought as Daniel added;

"That is one of the greatest traits of any spy, because that will ensure that they won't draw any attention wherever they are, making them blend-in so effortlessly, and even if anything happened or their mission fails, they would be able to easily slip out the same way they slipped in, because no one would be able to link the situation to them in any way…"

Min Hong nodded mentally and then looked over to Mu Bai…

"He must have been similar to these guys when he started too, but since he doesn't really need to be in the field again unlike before, so he became a little more social…" He thought...

Passing the spatial ring over to Mu Li, Min Hong asked;

"How long till we are ready?"

"Just a little bit more time, my rats had to abandon all their current mission for this, so it might take them a little longer, and moreover, the Empire is very vast, and if we send too many messenger birds at once, we might draw attention to ourselves and that would be dangerous for my 'Rats'… But all in all, we should be ready in two days…"

Mu Li explained as Min Hong looked at him with incredulity…

Mu Li started his mission yesterday and required only two days to spread the news across the entire Desert Sun Sect and Sunfire City?

If he can do that, then spreading it across the entire Dogon Empire would definitely be possible in just a month at max…

"What a deep-rooted network he has!"

Little Fei for the first time in a long time actually gave another person a compliment on a matter and that fact alone, was enough for Min Hong to picture the scale of what Mu Li was capable of…

"This guy is not to be offended… If he goes all out, he can plunge an entire kingdom into Chaos, and if he pushes himself too hard, he might just be capable enough of wrecking an entire Empire…"

"Guys like these would have held the greatest power back where I come from…" Daniel also exclaimed…

Someone like Mu Bai would have easily been hired by the 'SEE. EYE. HEY' and Mu Li would have been tasked with using the information he received from Mu Bai to destroy the enemy reputation or put the enemy organizations out of business…

"What about our plans for the sect?" Min Hong asked…

"Oh, you are going to love what I have in store for them…" Mu Li said with a cunning smirk…

"Let me just give you a hint…"

"One of my Rats have a dirty secret of the head of the Treasure Hall and the Enforcement Hall heads…"

"What!?"

Min Hong, Min Qing and even Mu Bai froze as they looked over to Mu Li who had a smug smile on his face;

"Apparently, our Enforcement Hall Head has a fetish with males, whilst out Treasure Hall Head dishes out several treasures to the female disciples and get paid by doing the deed…"
