The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce had sent the Fifth and Sixth Masters to assassinate the newly rising Su Xuan in Rongcheng City, but nearly a day had passed without any message.
Logically, even if unsuccessful, the Fifth Master should have reported back on the situation.
Su Xuan had just slept with the Sixth Master of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce at a hotel. The Sixth Master, named Miao Qingfeng, swiftly rose to prominence within the Chamber due to her expertise in poison making and, by chance, had married the Fifth Master.
Miao Qingfeng was thirty this year, and, as they say, as hungry as a wolf at thirty and as fierce as a tiger at forty. It was an age when her body craved nourishment. Being her husband, the Fifth Master indeed was an impotent man, which made it hard for Miao Qingfeng to enjoy what true pleasure between a man and a woman felt like.
