Lory immediately takes the clean cloth and wipe the table while continue eavesdropping their conversation.

"You right…. it's going to be a war between two powerful people even the Emperor got worried" one of the men swing his chopstick carelessly.

"The emissary of Liu Yan Kingdom tries to persuade them they even want to give Long Ming thousand of a beautiful woman and five hundred million gold tael to composite his loss, you know what happens?" the man leans forward with a quiet voice.

"What?" three other men lean forward simultaneously.

"The Emissary dantian broken in pieces and Long Ming said she will burn all the woman with the gold if they dare to come and he also threat the emperor not to interfere or else…" he make slit gesture on his neck with grimace expression.

Everyone gasped "Is that true? He dares against Liu Yan Emperor?"

"Its Long Ming we talking about!" one of them roll his eyes "Did you not hear, a few days ago the Lu clan wanted to give Lu Xi Xi to Long Ming as a peace offering I think?"

"What? I heard Lu xi Xi is the most beautiful Lady in a Lu Clan, how lucky long Ming is" one of the man sighs in envy.

Lory squeeze the cloth when she wipes the table, she feel furious someone dares to offer her man a woman to replace her, Lory force herself not to cursed harshly towards them.

Then another man join in "But Long Ming poison Lu Xi Xi and killed all of her bodyguards he even throws the carcass on the Lu Clan main courtyard"

"WHAT!" they all stunned.

"Don't you know? who knew if Miss Lu still alive right now but the Lu clan can't cure her" he put a chicken on his plate than he munches his food while talking "Long Ming very furious when they have audacity to gives woman to replace his beloved fiancée, and he said this a warning for everyone who dares to think to offer him a woman"

"Long Ming is as cruel as the rumor said" the other makes obvious nods.

Lory feel relieved Zhao Li Xin unable to seduce by pretty face that was expected of him if he is so easy to seduce how many women he would keep in his manor?

"I heard Lu clan gather all the family clan in the north to against Hei Shen sect he even ask for the Emperor help but that's only a rumor no one said anything yet"

Lory rise from her seat abruptly she trotted to the counter, Shin Jiu didn't understand why she looks agitated he put down his food and run to her, in the counter she tries as calm as she could.

"Master is their Thousand herbs apothecary here in the town?" She acted casually while putting more money then she needs to pay for the food and the service.

The man behind the counter face lit up when he sees the money and she smiles even more politely to her "No, young Miss I never hear that store before"

"How about the Phoenix hall restaurant?" Lory asks again.

"I'm sorry their's no such restaurant here," he said again.

"Not even white pavilion teahouse?" Lory asks every business that connected to Hei Shen Sect, sadly she only knew a few of them because she never thought it would have any used and this is happening.

The man behind the counter shakes his head with an apologetic smile, Lory got frustrated she didn't know how to contact them without using the chained of Hei Shen business.

"Miss you asking about the famous store from Jiang Wei kingdom, why don't you look for Butterfly silk house embroidery store, its a new store from Jiang Wei kingdom, I heard is a very store but very expensive too"

Lory's eyes grew wider, she remembers she has many dress and shoes from that store, how could she forgot!

"Where is the store?" Lory quickly asks.

The man behind the counter draw her a map lory than give him more money to appreciate his help and the man become happier and give her more detail direction to go their, lory than leave immediately Shin Jiu not even have time to ask her when she scurry out of the restaurant, she only slow down after she realizes she almost left a child as a responsible adult she waiting until Shin Jiu catch up with her than they walk hand in hand so they don't lose each other.

The street is chaotic and crowded with people and small stall lineup in the roadside, the man who draws her the map said is a lavish building near the river she asks a few people and they pointing her the right direction until she arrived in the big building who is quieter compared to other place and only man and women with lavish clothing enter the building and they all looking at her strangely like she is not supposed to be there.

Ladies whisper to each other they sneer when they looking at her and Shin Jiu ugly clothes after a few days living in the jungle their's no way her clothing remains intact at least it would stain by dirt a little and she has no time to change her clothes when she looks around looking for anyone in charged suddenly someone block her.

"Sorry miss, may I help you" a woman with a wry smile suddenly talk to her but she didn't sound polite to her.

"Yes, I need help" Lory didn't care how impolite that woman is "Can I see the manager?" Lory asks politely.

The woman is working here for a year and she used to serve nobles and royalty she never served anyone like Lory before she asses Lory from head to toe and she concludes she assume she only a country bumpkin who comes to the wrong store so she didn't need to be polite.

"Our manager is very busy not every people could meet him," said the woman smugly.

Lory sigh exasperatedly "Can you call him, this is very important!" Lory tries to reason with her.

The woman becomes upset "Miss, please mind your behavior, this is not the place you can't act carelessly!" she reprimands Lory harshly.

Lory pressed her lips together exasperatedly than she secretly takes out Xin Xen token and shows it to the woman "How about now!"

The woman frown than she stifles "Miss this is not pawnshop, if you want to sell this you cannot do it here" sHe laughing at her and people who hear it also laughing at her, Lory confuses how could she didn't know about Xin Xen token? What she doesn't know is only the higher up in Hei Shen Sect who had seen Xin Xen token someone like the woman who works as sales girl would not know anything about Xin Xen token.

"Miss be careful if someone knew you stole something you might get punish severely" she mocked Lory again, the white jade token looks expensive, there's no way a poor woman like her could have it unless she stole it from someone.

Everyone murmured and point their finger at her they whisper about stealing, how shameless and how stupid she is trying to sell her stealing good in an honorable place like this, Lory heard what other people saying then she let out long heaved to calm herself she didn't want to make a fuss she worry if Lao Min Na people would be heard, Shin Jiu feel bad for Lory he tugged her sleeve with a meek expression.

Lory stroke his head "Let's leave….this is not the right place"

The woman rests on of her arm on her waist she snickers while watching Lory and Shin Jiu including their animal left the building, she thought she had done a great job to get rid unnecessary pest, she didn't know what she had done had sealed her owned faith in a way she could never imagine.
