Chapter 111 - Xun Wei's Past
Inside the restaurant, Xun Wei followed Xiao Hei up a few floors till she reached the entrance to the very top floor. The door was heavily guarded, so there was no way she could open it without attracting attention to herself.
Xun Wei watched as the guards let Xiao Hei and the woman in after she showed them a special nameplate.
'It seems only nobles from the 4 major families are granted entry to that floor,' Xun Wei thought.
She remembered that Xiao Fang had given her Gao Chen's spatial pouch after he killed him, so she took it out then looked through it till she found his family's nameplate.
Xun Wei came out of [ Stealth ] then showed the guards the Gao family nameplate. After seeing it, they immediately let her in.
'If I get caught with this I'll probably be connected to Gao Chen's murder,' she thought.
After thinking about it for a moment she eventually put the Gao family nameplate back into Gao Chen's spatial pouch before getting rid of it all together.
...
Without [ Stealth ], Xun Wei watched as Xiao Hei entered Song Du's room, but because she needed to wait a few more minutes before she could use [ Stealth ] again she decided not to follow them in.

Inside Song Du's room Xiao Hei saw him sitting next to the window while staring at the festival below. When he heard someone walk in, he turned his head and saw the cute little girl wearing nothing but a thin fairy-like gown that only went down to her knees.
Standing about 143cm tall, Xiao Hei had to be the most beautiful and cutest looking girl he had ever seen in his life. He had many privileges, but never till today was he truly thankful for it.
While he was eyeing Xiao Hei with a lecherous gaze, the busty woman walked up to him then whispered a few things into his ear. He then pointed at the only two men in the room and ordered them to follow the busty lady out. Leaving only Xiao Hei and his sexy women in the room with him.
Xiao Hei didn't know where they were going, but she could tell from the expression on the woman's face that there was a problem.
The lady had informed Song Du that Xiao Hei had a guard with her. So to avoid a troublesome situation, Song Du had ordered them to go find out who her backer was.
...
A few moments later the busty lady walked out of Song Du's room while being followed by two men.
The men were wearing special belts around their waist showing that they belong to the Song family. Xun Wei immediately recognized it, and it made her frown because it sparked a terrible memory.
A bloodthirsty glow appeared in her eyes as she turned the corner to reveal herself. She had her sword in hand and it was pointing down at the ground in front of her.
The busty lady was instructed to learn about the Xiao Hei's backer and to create a rapport if she was someone with a special status. Since Xun Wei was on this floor, that meant she was definitely someone with a special background, so her immediate reaction was to humble herself in front of her.
"Could I know young miss's noble name?" She asked Xun Wei.
Xun Wei ignored the question. She approached them with her sword emitting a spine chilling glow.
Seeing that she didn't want to talk, the two guards stepped in trying to prevent her from getting any closer.
One guard spoke while standing in Xun Wei's way, "She asked you a question."
No one saw Xun Wei's arm move, but in the next moment the guard's head was suddenly decapitated.
"What!"
Just as the second guard moved back, Xun Wei moved forward. He too was decapitated.
Blood sprayed everywhere but nothing touched Xun Wei.
After she killed the 2 guards she went after the busty lady next. The lady fell on her butt in fear.
"W-who are you?", she asked Xun Wei with a shaky voice.
"Do you really not recognize me?"
Xun Wei used to be a very ordinary looking girl, so it was understandable that people wouldn't recognize her. However, after taking a closer look she was finally able to recognize who Xun Wei was.
"Little Wei, why are you doing this? When Song Du finds out what you did our family and friends back home will suffer."
Xun Wei didn't seem to care about what she said, she simply continued walking.
"Chun Wei, I'm telling you to stop."
Xun Wei stopped then faced the woman before saying,
"My surname is not Chun."
"What are you talking about."
Xun Wei then took out a burnt and tattered wooden nameplate. It was badly damaged but the name on it could still be read.
~'Xun'~
"How can this be. The Xun family were wiped out before you were even born."
Xun Wei didn't bother explaining. Instead, she put the nameplate away then continued walking towards her.

During the destruction of the Xun family, there were a few dozen people that were able to escape, including Xun Wei's parents.
Since the clan was destroyed, many of the survivors wanted to go far away, but others wished to stay and regain their strength to get revenge.
Xun Wei's mother played a pivotal role in that rebellion, so she chose to stay and fight. Xun Wei's father also wanted to stay since he was someone many people looked up to, but for Xun Wei's sake he chose to flee with her.
Young Xun Wei and her father broke off from the main group and traveled for several months, but because he had his cultivation crippled he couldn't travel very far. He eventually settled in the Chun family sect and lived in the house of an old friend of his.
Even though they traveled a great distance, the Chun family sect was still a subsidiary power to the Song.
One day, her father went out but didn't return, and in the morning Xun Wei heard a public announcement.
Xun Wei's father had been caught.
The night before he was captured, Xun Wei's father spoke to his long time friend, Chun Hua's father, saying,
"The Song have crippled my cultivation and I watched as they slaughtered my friends and relatives. However, my little girl's heart is too kind, she might never understand how cruel this world really is till it's too late. Please grant my dying wish. Make sure she watches what happens tomorrow," Xun Wei's father told Chun Hua's father.
"Didn't you come here to live a peaceful life with your daughter? Why are you throwing it away?"
"I came here because I trust you to take care of Xun Wei when I'm gone."
...
So on the night of the execution, Chun Hua's father granted his old friend's cruel dying wish and made Xun Wei watch her father's gruesome death. Even when Chun Hua's father could no longer watch it, Xun Wei never blinked or turned away. She would never forget the day the Song family took what she loved the most, her papa.
Unfortunately for Xun Wei, even though she got into the Black Paradise sect, her cultivation wasn't anything special.
She lost hope on ever achieving her goal, and nearly lost interest in cultivation all together. But then she met Xiao Fang and the fire of revenge burned within her once again. Today is when it all starts. After today there is no turning back.
Just as Xun Wei was walking past the lady on the floor, she suddenly attacked Xun Wei.
Normally, from such a close distance, a surprise attack like that would be impossible to dodge. However, Xun Wei never planned to let her live...
