Assassination System

"Just what did you say?!" Pavilion Chef Maxwell slammed his hand on his table. The table disintegrated into smithereens and the Elder who reported his course of actions staggered backward, frightened.

"Ermm, Pavilion Chef, as what I said earlier, those bastards humiliated me and that bitch even said that she doesn't care about our Medicine Pavilion, this is a blatant challenge of our authority. Pavilion Chef, we must not let them go or else we'll lose all our face!" The Elder spoke out, his visage glimmered in a righteous light and a persuasive air surrounded him.

Pavilion Chef Maxwell turned speechless upon witnessing his subordinate's display. Lifting his hand, he facepalmed, "What do you think about that young woman? Because she disdains our Medicine Pavilion what do you think about her background?"

The subordinate Elder paused for a moment, now that he regained his calm, when he thought about it, the young woman's actions were strange. Literally, everyone in the Empire of Eternal Faith knows about the Medicine Pavilion, its influence, and its might. So that young woman's actions were incomprehensible.

"Everyone should know about our Medicine Pavilion's strength so seeing someone acting in disdain to our Medicine Pavilion only means one thing. Either, she has a background that is higher than our Medicine Pavilion or she's a stupid bitch that doesn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth..."

Pavilion Chef Maxwell's expression brightened, 'It looks like this subordinate of mine isn't completely stupid or else how could he rise through the ranks and endure through the merciless competition for an Elder position? Though he's becoming somewhat senile and drunk in power...'

Clapping his hands together, Pavilion Chef Maxwell nodded his head in approval, "That's right, other than those two choices, there's no other logical explanation and since we can't just let anyone that dares to challenge our authority get away, scot-free. I order you with my authority as the Pavilion Chef to find out the backing of that young woman..."

The Elder's expression flickered, "What if she doesn't have any substantial backing?" His eyes flashed in a critical light while Pavilion Chef Maxwell paused for a moment before viciously smiling, "Let her understand the consequences of challenging the Medicine Pavilion. Make sure that you thoroughly trample her and make her beg for her death..."

The Elder lifted a cold smile, his eyes flashed in excitement and he thought about the exotic beauty that Grace possessed, especially her silver hair that flowed like mercury under the blazing sun.

"I understand, Pavilion Chef, you will not be disappointed..." He made his salute and exited the room, leaving Pavilion Chef Maxwell inside in deep contemplation, "A silver-haired young woman that doesn't know about the existence of our Medicine Pavilion? If she's confident about her backing, then why don't I know about her?"

Back at the Mirthful Fairies Association, dozens of bulky men could be seen standing inside a vast room. Their eyebrows furrowed and an air of masculine dominance surrounded their bodies. In contrast, the pink robes that they wore formed a scenery which confused everyone about the men's sexuality.

"Why did the Pavilion Empress called us here? We're quite busy crushing plants for powders, we don't have the time to be here..."

"Where is that old bag of bones from the Medicine Pavilion? Is he not coming here? How can we harvest those plants if there's no one to pacify them?"

The 'men' started their discussions, their soft and enticing voices that contrasted their masculine figures sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.

"Everyone, silence!" A charming androgynous voice reverberated in the area. The murmurs of the 'men' on the hall stopped and they craned their heads towards the source of the voice. Standing above a podium, Kevin, Conner along with Grace stared at the commotion down below.

"Sisters, I announce with glee that we finally have someone that can pacify those plants other than the old bones from the Medicine Pavilion!" Kevin spread his arms and announced with the same charming voice. Everyone's eyes flickered and they simultaneously focused on Grace whom as a woman, stood out like a sore thumb amidst the sea of 'men'.

"Empress, could it be that she's the pacifier? A woman? Indeed, a woman with her Vital Yin intact would work well in pacifying those plants, but don't tell us that you forgot about what would happen to women that enters an area dominated by Yang?" A subordinate dressed in fancy clothes of resplendent colors spoke out.

His fellow sisters started their furious discussion and Grace turned towards Kevin with a confused expression on her face. Kevin turned somber and stared right into her eyes.

"Pure women work best in subduing those plants but as a consequence of entering a place overwhelmed with Yang Essence, the woman's Vital Yin would deplete and she could possibly become infertile," Conner answered her inquiry and Grace's visage dimmed.

The reason why she wanted to work was that she didn't want to rely solely on Dan and Natalie. She wanted to become independent and have her own life. Now that she found a work, she became happy but she didn't expect that her work actually had such dangers behind it.

"That's what we found when we hired female disciples from the Academy. Though the symptoms were not obvious, a prominent symptom is having a delayed or no monthly period at all. Meaning, the woman's reproductive capabilities were suppressed or has ceased working."

"Grace, we obviously want you to work with us but of course, we do not want you to sacrifice your happiness just for the sake of strangers like us." Kevin chimed at the side, his expression looked despondent. After what happened earlier, the relationship between the Medicine Pavilion and the Mirthful Fairies Association could be considered as void.

Without the backing of the Medicine Pavilion. If Grace, their one and only pacifier disappeared. It was a matter of time until their Association goes under. The atmosphere of the entire hall became melancholic.

"Damn it, since she knows about the consequences, she will definitely disappear, and once that happens, I'm afraid that us sisters will soon part ways..."

"No, we cannot disappear, we still haven't fulfilled our promise of finding our white knight! Until I can get married we shall not disband!"

Kevin turned around and wiped something around his eyes. Conner revealed a bitter smile and Grace paused for a moment before wryly smiling, "So that's the reason why they didn't tell me about the identity of that Elder from the Medicine Pavilion until I offended him. Now, that we have a common enemy, it would be common sense that I side with them, such schemes, why am I used to it?"

Sighing in her heart, Grace turned towards Kevin and said, "As Empress can see, I'm just a mere mortal and since I'm not a cultivator, my Vital Yin shouldn't be that concentrated. Which means, the worst case scenario should be unlikely to happen." Grace explained and Kevin pondered for a moment.

"Indeed, when we hired female disciples, those with higher cultivation suffered the most severe of damages, and since you're a mortal, maybe you won't be affected by the Yang environment, after all, your meridians won't instinctively absorb the Spiritual Qi around you..."

Grace nodded her head and Conner's expression brightened, "Then does this mean that, Grace. You're not going to abandon us?" Conner's sculpted visage revealed a hopeful look and Grace lifted a small smile on her face since these men didn't have any ill intent towards her and since one shouldn't punch a smiling face. Grace deeply bowed and said,

"Trainee Grace is once again reporting for duty!" Her voice rang loud and clear and all the men who looked sorrowful down below exploded into cheers. Kevin and Conner embraced each other and Grace felt like everyone was faking their distressed expressions, earlier.

"But oh well, since I already admitted myself here, I should just see through the end of it and make this Association prosper for the young master's sake..." Grace's eyes flashed and her mind formulated a plan which would transform the dilapidated Mirthful Fairies Association into a towering giant that could stand toe to toe with the Medicine Pavilion.
