Chapter 917: Chapter 916: Instruction
Back at the residence, Wufu called Chi Yi, Er, San, Si, Wu, and Liu to her side and watched them from the corridor.
Wufu’s reckless prank on Wang Hao had been heard from the Three’s mouth. Thinking of that scene, it was simply terrifying.
“Summarize today’s outing. What went wrong? Speak for yourselves.” Wufu yawned as she asked.
“We failed to detect Miss’s disguise.” Chi Yi was the first to speak.
“I didn’t notice anyone tailing us.” Chi San said with a face full of regret. In the brothel, he failed to notice anything unusual; it was Wufu who discovered it first. Just thinking about this made him feel ashamed.
Hearing this, the others’ expressions changed slightly. As Hidden Guards, this was the most taboo thing.
Wufu glanced at them: “So, why? Why would you make such mistakes? Who was the person teaching you called? Er Bing? Cakes? His level shouldn’t be so lacking, right?” If the people trained by him were all this mediocre and careless, Ah Jiu would have died countless times.
“But yet, your mistakes keep happening repeatedly. Do I need to tell you the reason why you appear so lacking?” Wufu chuckled: “You look down on me.”
“Because I am a woman, and a young girl at that, you underestimate me and naturally do not take my words to heart.” Wufu said indifferently, “As you looked down on me, you also relaxed your vigilance. I said that as soon as I sent out Five, the training began. But this morning, I walked past you boldly; clearly looking like an unfamiliar young man, yet you ignored it without a hint of suspicion. I truly find it laughable.”
The group was suddenly a bit embarrassed.
“If I were an assassin, and had taken out your Ninth Master and walked grandly out the gate for two Shichen without anyone knowing, what do you think the consequences would be?”
Their faces turned ashen.
“As Hidden Guards, no matter where you are, shouldn’t you always be vigilant? How can changing a person or identity cause this vigilance to slacken?” Wufu mocked: “Or do you think that in this residence, everything is safe and you can relax?”
Her reprimand was not severe, yet listening to it was more embarrassing than being scolded.
“Chi San, do you remember covering up after doing that bad deed with me?” Wufu looked at Chi San again.
Chi San was taken aback.
“What, didn’t the Secret Guard Camp teach you to clean up?” Wufu chuckled: “Do you find me so hateful that you’d deliberately leave traces for someone to follow back to me? There’s no need to go through such trouble; come on, stab me twice.”
She tossed out a dagger, and Chi San knelt on one knee: “I dare not.”
Wufu said: “Never underestimate your opponent just because you’ve switched targets. Always respect your opponent because you never know what cards they hold. One lapse in judgment can lead to a lifetime of regret, and what you may pay could be your life.” There was a hint of sadness and melancholy on her face.
The few could see clearly and were momentarily stunned.
Ah Jiu stood by the window, witnessing the scene, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
He didn’t like seeing her reveal such an expression; it was too sorrowful and unsettling.
Wufu regained her composure and said: “If you feel I am unworthy to train you, then quit early. Don’t appear before me tomorrow, as I cannot teach men with an overly strong sense of pride.”
“We ask for Miss’s guidance.” They all knelt down, knowing that if they truly left, they likely couldn’t return to the Secret Guard Camp.
Wufu looked at them steadily and after a while said: “I hope you won’t regret it.”
