Yansy then left the inn under the covers of the shady trees in the alley. He sprinted around in Wood Fragrance City with ease, and finally went into a low-key guest house after passing through five different streets.
Yansy jumped over the windows and entered his guest room. He didn't turn on the flames as he just walked towards his bed in the dark and sat on it.
Then, he took off his huge robe, the square hat on his head, the moustache above his lips, and the wig on his head in the end.
"This thing is so sticky that it makes my scalp so itchy."
Yansy muttered while pulling his wig.
However, his voice now was not the man's voice he used to talk to Fade earlier, but it was a clear women's voice instead.
"Pa!"
With a soft noise, Yansy finally pulled off the hair.
Then she took out a black pill from her bed, walked towards the basin and allowed the pill to dissolve in the water.
Then she poured water from the basin on her face and began to rub it gently.
As she rubbed on, Yansy's face began to change.
From an ordinary middle- aged man's appearance, her face finally turned into a lovely young girl.
"After using this Face Disguising Pill for some time, my skin became so much worse," the girl rubbed her face as she muttered while washing her face.
After washing her face, the girl turned around and was about to go back to bed.
But at that moment, the oil lamp in the room suddenly lit up.
The girl saw a middle-aged woman in a gray robe sitting on her bed, staring at her sternly.
The girl was startled at once. Then she saw the woman's face clearly and said with a smile, "Master, it's so late at night. Why are you in my room?"
The middle- aged woman stared at the girl and said in a deep voice, "It's so late at night, where did you go to?"
"Uh, Master, I, I just went out for a walk," the girl replied.
The middle- aged woman slapped the girl's face and said coldly, "Do you think you can fool me so easily?"
At some point, a young man with a haggard face entered the room and came to the middle-aged woman.
He glanced at the girl and said in a deep voice, "Eva, don't you feel ridiculous to be lying in front of your Master? Speak the truth, what did you do out there?"
Eva held her red and swollen cheek. She glanced at the young man and said, "Kyran, I didn't do anything bad."
"Whether it's a bad thing or not, it's up to Master to decide. It's not up to you." Kyran said coldly.
The middle-aged woman said in a deep voice, "Are you not going to say it? Do you want to get punished?"
Eva quickly lowered her head and said, "Master, I'll say it."
"It's just like this. I was trying to get some news in Wood Fragrance Trading earlier today, and that time..."
Then, Eva told the whole story of whatever she had encountered.
After hearing this, her master and Kyran both frowned.
Kyran said unhappily, "Eva, you did so much just to remind a mere stranger to run for his life?"
Eva said, "Kyran, Mr. Chen is a good man. I don't want him to die for no reason."
"Good man? Humph, just by looking at his appearance, who knows who is a good person or not? Moreover, according to what you said, that fellow has earned a lot by buying and selling herbs. Who knows if his original intentions are true or not?" The middle-aged lady said.
"But—" Eva still wanted to explain for herself.
Kyran interrupted, "Eva, don't forget that we came here for a mission. Don't ruin our plans for the sake of others."
When it came to important matters, Eva's expression became serious. She quickly promised them, "Master, Kyran, don't worry. I'm well prepared, and I won't allow our plans to be ruined."
"That's the best!" The middle- aged woman nodded. "It's the day of the Alchemist Association's examination today, you're not allowed to make any mistakes. You must successfully enter the association and find a chance to get close to Junior Alchemy Master, Mattham Chiang."
"I understand. Please don't worry, Master. I can definitely do that," Eva said firmly.
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Okay, get up then. Eva, I'm not scolding you, it's just because it is very important."
"We've been preparing for years for this plan, and we will not allow any accidents to happen that will cause the failure of our plans. Do you understand my concerns?"
Eva nodded, “Master, I understand. The Alchemist Association is an enemy of our Burial Flames organization. We must make them pay the price no matter what, and we will do anything to make that happen."
"As long as you remember so!" Her master nodded. "Have a good rest!"
"Yes!" Eva sent them off.
She went back to her bed and lay on it as she looked out the windows and whispered, "Mr. Chen, I can only hope the best for you.”
"As for myself, for my master, for the organization, and for our revenge, I won't hesitate to..."
At the end of her words, Eva clenched her fists and she looked determined.
Outside the room, Kyran and Master who had just left, were chatting in a low voice with a serious look on their faces.
"Master, the Mr. Chen that Eva mentioned was really just a passer-by, he has nothing to do with our plan. Or, could it be that he's really someone that the Alchemist Association hired?" Kyran asked softly.
