15 Live play (5)

Xuanmei pursed her lips, ignoring the hate-filled look directed to her from both sisters, yawning and going back into her courtyard.

The spectators were dumbfounded. The whole situation blew over just like that? Then what about their money? The time they wasted here? Wasn't there going to be a good live play? Why was it just over and done with after the third miss shot a few lines at the other two?

Just like this, she retreated? She was already done?

Of course not, Xuanmei thought in her heart, maliciousness flashing in her eyes.

She had to make the sisters pay for what they did to the old Xue Xuanmei.

Internally crying for the loss of their material realm's best friend, the crowd slowly dispersed, only for the rumours of a man meeting with the cherished Eldest daughter of the Xue family's main branch to live on like the annoying legacy of someone that refuses to submit to King Yama.

The two sisters glared angrily at where Xuanmei stood before, rage consuming their eyes. Storming back to their rooms, they devised a plan against Xuanmei while they walked back, totally unaware that Xuanmei was there, sitting in the shadows, perched on top of the trees, listening intently to their conversation.

The black cat that accompanied her agilely climbed down the tree, scuttling around the bushes and dashing in front of the closely knit sisters, emerald eyes glaring right at the ladies.

The girls, startled, screamed as Xuanmei dashed across the place. They had thought they had seen a shadowless ghost, but in reality, not at all. Smirking playfully, Xuanmei ran an extra few times around them, and wearing dark clothing, the misses couldn't see it coming, only seeing the afterimages of the shadow.

However, the fact did not change, and it was just Xuanmei, rushing and stealing their items. Smiling, deciding to mess with them, she pushed First sister onto the ground, knocking her out neatly while she couldn't even scream, as Xuanmei had covered her mouth.

Second sister, who was scared out of her mind, once seeing someone approach, turn and ran. Using Ming, who had taken out some men's clothes, she ordered him to spread it out in a disorderly way and remove her clothes while she chased after second sister.

Second sister, who had barely seen anything due to her inexperience, and, since she was still young, she didn't cultivate and could not see the assassin who had zoomed past, only knowing that her Eldest sister was now fast asleep on the ground, face pale.

Before she had a chance to see Ming, though, she had already been knocked out. Her Elder sister's clothes had been discarded upon removal. Her clothes, however, remained intact. To sow the seeds of discord between the two women, she placed Second sister on the bed, making her seem like the one who purposely abandoned her elder sister to run away from the threat.

Giving Ming specific orders, she had left to her courtyard while the elders slept soundly, not expecting the shock that awaited them when they awoke.
