Blind-folded with both her hand and legs bounded, she stop struggling from the man who is carry her like a sack of rice on his shoulder.

With a dirty cloth in her mouth, she is unable to speak and can only groan in pain as she felt the pain targeted at her ribs due to the friction between her ribs and the man's shoulder.

Closing her eyes, she observe her surroundings with her kin senses.

'We are out of Capital Xuan. Now, where are you going to bring me to?' Jae-in thought.

After a long walk, finally the man throw Jae-in down onto the floor and stretch his arms.

"Man, she is sure one heavy lady despite the small petite figure she has." The man complain while the others laugh at him.

"Probably you are so weak that you cannot even carry a lady. You need to build more muscle if not you can't call yourself a man."

"What?! Eh, are you trying to pick a fight?"

"Stop it guys, we need to complete our mission." The leader of the 3 men stopped the fight.

Steadily, he walk towards Jae-in and kneel down to grab the side of her face. As he observe her, he removed the cloth to allow her freedom of speech.

Spitting out the disgusting taste of the cloth, she face herself to the breathe of the man in front of her.

"Let's get started, the night is too precious to be wasted."

"This is bad! Master Xuan! Help! My Missy has been taken away by some unknown man!" Yu-ji ran towards the living room where everyone was at while raising her voice to gather attention.

Once she reach the door, she pant heavily while her finger pointing towards the garden.

"Mas..Master Xuan, please! Please help my Missy!"

"What is going on?" Xuan Di stood up the moment he heard her screams and walk towards her to find out what had happened.

"Missy Jae was sitting on the swing at the garden while digesting the food she had earlier on. Suddenly, there .. there are 3 unknown man jump into the garden and threaten her safety, then they took her away! I ran here immediately once they left. I beg you please help to find my Missy back!" Yu-ji kneel down and grab onto Xuan Di's legs, and of course crying buckets of tears.

"How could such things happen in my household!" Merchant Yang shouted in anger as his knights gathered in front of him.

"Call out all the men we have and I want to see Jae-in in front of me by tonight." Xuan Di coldly instructed Eunuch Gao, with a suppressing anger he had in his tone of speech.

'Who is it that is targeting Jae-in? How dare they make a move in front of me like this.' Xuan Di thought while clenching his fist, so tightly until his nails penetrated his skin.

[Back to the abandoned temple]

"Now, let me get started with what I want to do. After all, like you said, the night is too precious to be wasted. Didn't you?"

Jae-in who is now unbound by the ropes and no longer blind-folded, holding onto the familiar small dagger that she always brought with her, stepping onto the chest of the man who wanted to carry out disgraceful acts towards her moments ago.

The other 2 men have been knocked out cold, lying onto the floor with bruises all over their face, of course with their hands being bounded.

She decided to leave the leader awake, because she needed some answers. But, it seems like he is a tough nut to crack.

This man is currently heavily injured with internal bleeding, face aggressively punched that result purple bruises on one of his eyes and one of his legs being broken.

Unable to move or defend himself, he quietly accepts the small dagger resting onto his neck.

"Speak now. I have no patience." Jae-in threaten as she press the dagger closer onto his skin which caused some minor bleeding.

Fumbling over his words to get an answer out from his mouth as the only way to save himself.

"P-please forgive me righteous lady! I am wrong and I will not do it again!"

"Don't talk crap and tell the truth. Who sent you here?"

"N-no on.."

"I give you one last chance, if you speak anything useless, I won't hesitate to end your life right now. Even if you die, I can still torture your other 2 underlings for my answers." Jae-in glare into the man's eyes to show how serious she is and she is not kidding.

With the beating he experienced, he is very sure that this woman is capable to do what she has threatened.

Gulping his saliva to show his nervousness, he sigh in defeat.

"It.. It 's some maid of a noble family. I do not know who is it but she gave us money to come to Yang Household. Then, she instructed us to come during night time and find a way to kidnap a lady who is wearing Yellow dress. Once we kidnap her, we are to destroy her purity."

'Hmm, a maid. Well, it's easy to guess, definitely Maid Xia who is under Su Yin. Isn't she getting bolder? But, why would she do it at her own household?' Jae-in thought.

After getting her answers, she knock the man unconscious and kept her dagger. Leaving the abandoned temple where they brought her, she ran back to the Capital of Xuan by using her qing gong.

With the chaos situation going on in Yang Household, Yu-ji secretly slipped out of Yang Household and ran back to Long Feng Ke Zhan.

Packing the things instructed by Missy Jae, she disguised herself as a married woman and put aside all the things for Missy Jae to take along with her once she is back.

Taking one last look, Yu-ji fled from this Ke Zhan.

As tonight is the night of New Year Celebrations, the streets in Capital of Xuan is still very lively at night.

With stores operating till late timing, Yu-ji head over to the exchange inn that align with the name written on the paper, to retrieve the money she had deposited through reliable external connection that she established over the past few weeks.

Once everything being collected, she paid a random man to act as her husband and both of them disguise as a married couple who wants to leave the Capital of Xuan.

Not being suspected, everything went smoothly for Yu-ji and she made her run, leaving a single-stroke slash with a special fragrance that is easily identified by Jae-in.

'Missy Jae, please be safe.' Yu-ji prayed as she gallop away with a horse that she bought at a nearby resting inn, outside of Capital of Xuan.

Jae-in finally reach her room, knowing the abilities of Xuan Di, she is aware that she is not spare with extra time.

Quickly, she bandage her chest and dress into a familiar night attire that she prepared.

Removing all the hair accessories, she gather all her hair into a high-pony tail, darken and thicken her eyebrows, within seconds, she transformed into an eye-catching good looking young master, with righteous fighting aura and well-trained body, carrying a long sword behind her back.

Tying everything that was set aside by Yu-ji, she pack them into her baggage and tie it onto her back. To avoid people's attention, she wore a black mask that covers her face, only revealing that enchanting brown eyes.

Escaping from the outdoor garden, she head directly to the exchange inn to retrieve the remaining money left from Yu-ji with a wooden tag and a special command of words as a way of identification.

'Now it's time to leave Capital of Xuan, how am I suppose to shake off the shadow knights?'

Jae-in wonder as she is sure that there are chances of them going to Xuan Di to provide the location of her whereabouts.

Just as she left the exchange inn, as though it was god intention to not let her escape be as smooth as Yu-ji, she run into another trouble.

This time, a group of black dressed men who look like professional assassins, appeared in front of her.

Running away into the busy street, with a constant chase, she eventually escaped into one of the dead end dark alley with a number of masked assassins in front of her. It is very clear that she is outnumbered.

"Curse.. Who are you and what do you want?" Jae-in gritted onto her teeth and asked carefully.

"You can head down to the grounds of Hell for your answer." One of the assassin replied her with a toying tone.
