He turned and said to the woman:
"Now, tell me what's really going on."
"Yes."
The woman didn't dare to hide anything and immediately recounted the tale.
This woman was named Hu Yue'e. She was from the Feng Family Manor, the wife of the manor's eldest young master, Feng Jihen.
Several days ago, a group of people had forced their way into Feng Family Manor. Their martial arts were formidable, and no one in the manor could stop them. The Manor Master, Feng Xiaocang, was killed on the spot, and everyone else fell into their hands.
Only then did they reveal their objective.
They wanted someone from the Feng Family Manor to help them put on an act.
This act required a suitable woman—one who wasn't too strong, but not completely unskilled in martial arts; not too beautiful, but not without any charm either.
After much deliberation, their eyes eventually fell upon Hu Yue'e.
Her task was to infiltrate Fang Shuwen's party at the right moment.
