"So how's their disguise in the palace…"
"They're dead," the man interrupted immediately.
"The perpetrator is the same person," he continued.
"What about Yu Yi's reincarnated existence?" the woman asked after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, the man smiled faintly.
"Don't worry about her, her current reincarnation isn't as strong as it used to be. She can't be considered an obstacle at all," he replied.
"You meet her?" the woman asked curiously.
"I even talked to her once," the man retorted with another chuckle.
"Really? Then what happened?" she asked over and over.
"She is with Gu Yi."
Suddenly the woman turned around with a stiff expression on her face.
"Hah, no kidding, don't lie to me. If she's with that guy, why are you still standing whole in front of me?" the woman sarcastically refused to believe it.
"Whatever, I don't need you to trust me," the man replied again then turned around, wanting to leave the room.
"Ah, just call the others if you want to take off the second phirata. I'm tired, I want to rest," he said then stepped away with one hand waving up.
"Where are you going? Hey."
"Stop! Hey. We don't have much time to relax," the woman shouted.
"I've done my job," replied the man who was already in front of the stairs.
"Just ask for something else," he said then started up the stairs and disappeared from there.
"Ah. I forgot to say that don't worry about anything. Just do your job. Make lots of Arhatas," he shouted echoing from behind the stairwell.
The woman was just silent hearing the screams of the figure who had disappeared there.
"Miss, one Arhata over there is perfect," a voice coming from the side caught her attention.
"Is that true?"
The man just nodded.
"Then move it to the next room unite with the others," she replied again.
"Okay, I'll excuse myself."
"Be careful, and you, help him," said the woman again, pointing to a man who was also not far from her.
"Okay, I'll help him," said the figure.
Watching the two of them move away, her lips curved into an arc, smiling.
"Okay, let's make a lot of dolls," she said with a sharp glint in her eyes.

Phylloni City.
Fu Xie Lan, Gu Yi, and the others had just entered the phoenix academy. All looked normal, returning with blue robes attached to their bodies with jade indicating that they were students of the phoenix academy.
Earlier, a few days ago when they want to left phylloni city, Elder Huang Bao gave them some identification jade as phoenix academy disciples.
The old man did it not without reason, because he didn't want when Fu Xie Lan to come back and not be able to enter the phoenix academy again without his presence so he gave her some of the identification jade.
And that is what is now attached to their robes.
As for Xue Ying, the man was not wearing any robes.
Even so, no one prevented him from entering the academy.
It was because Fu Xie Lan told the gatekeeper that on the way to the academy, they were attacked by a group of magical beasts that ripped Xue Ying's robes apart.
And the two gatekeepers believed it. Moreover, they still sensed a wizard's mana from Xue Ying's body.
As for Gu Yi, don't ask anymore. The man already had the wizard's robes since he was in front of Kanca City.
The atmosphere inside the academy was very quiet, perhaps because it was getting late at night.
They all immediately walked towards Elder Chen's residence, for that was the only place closest to their current position.
Whereas Elder Bao's residence was some distance away from them.
But that wasn't the only reason Fu Xie Lan had. Elder Bao's residence was very small. With six of them, the girl was worried, they wouldn't fit in her teacher's residence.
Unlike the residence of Elder Chen. Even though it wasn't very spacious, it would probably be enough for them to stay the night. Yes, just for tonight.
Because she could no longer find a new inn. If it was just her, perhaps Fu Xie Lan would still be able to.
But when she saw the tired faces of those who were with her, she gave up.
Ju Xian and Xue Ying looked so tired after a long day's journey, especially Xue Ning. even though the girl was helped by her brother, it didn't mean she didn't use the mana in her body.
Just imagine how tired they were, the journey that should have taken them three days and three nights, they only went through in one day without rest.
And it drains their life energy.
Passing several buildings and open spaces that resembled a field, they continued to walk.
The path was neither too bright nor too dark. The light from several lanterns in the courtyard of the building they were passing shone onto the path. Give light to anyone passing by.
"For the time being, tonight we will stay at Elder Chen's residence," said Fu Xie Lan suddenly without looking back. Yet her voice managed to reach everyone's senses.
"It's up to you, Xie Lan," Xue Ning replied in a very weak voice.
Fu Xie Lan who heard the girl's voice slightly slowed down her steps. With the aim that Xue Ning wouldn't be too overwhelmed to follow her, yes even though right now the girl already sounded very overwhelmed.
Wan Lie who also heard the girl's voice immediately looked back. Finding Xue Ning's face that occasionally wrinkled with exhaustion made him slow down a bit, slower than Fu Xie Lan.
A smirk plastered on his lips.
Walked indifferently, causing the already overwhelmed Xue Ning to be out of focus and almost hitting the man's leg with her foot.
She almost fell to the ground if Wan Lie didn't hold her body back soon.
"What are you doing?" Xue Ning protested, she is wanting to break free from Wan Lie's hands.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? And you're grateful that I caught you right away. Otherwise, you might have kissed the ground," Wan Lie replied.
"moved away from her," Xue Ying said.
Hearing the man's voice, Wan Lie violently let go of Xue Ning's body causing the girl to wobble a little and almost fall back down.
"Watch your attitude, damn it!" Xue Ying cursed the man, feeling disapproved of his sister being treated rudely.
Wan Lie just snorted at the man's words.
Xue Ning suddenly felt dizzy, causing her to quickly grab anything nearby to hold on to.
Wan Lie who saw this, immediately let go of Xue Ning's hand that was holding her shoulder and lifted the girl's body, carrying her in his arms.
"Don't pretend to be strong if you're already tired," said Wan Lie and then walked faster than before, ahead of Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi. Ignoring Xue Ying's gaze that seemed to be skinning him right then and there.
While Fu Xie Lan and Gu Yi who saw this did not comment. The girl just sighed while Gu Yi didn't have any reaction.
Meanwhile, Ju Xian, who was walking at the back, just sighed deeply while shaking his head.
'If you want to carry Xue Ning why should you be rude to her first?'
