By the time the two of them reached Chi Kingdom, Ye Jiao had grasped the core concept for the method to travel faster. She managed to execute it a few times. She was still slower than Zheng, but it was already far better than before.

"You're a quick learner," Zheng commented as he stopped in the middle of the grassland.

"Thank you," Ye Jiao smiled. Thanks to the Eon Energy Pill rank 3 that he gave to her before, she didn't run out of Eon Energy on the way to this place. She had almost used them all because she was learning how to do the technique but it was all worth it.

Zheng pointed to the front. "Let's hide."

"Hide in the grassland?" Ye Jiao was stunned. Did this young man eat the wrong medicine? There was nowhere they could hide in this vast grassland unless he meant for them to dig a hole on the ground.

"I can't enter the headquarter without a badge."

"What?"

Looking at how confused Ye Jiao was, Zheng repeated his words. "One couldn't enter the organization headquarters without having the badge. The formation outside will reject anyone who didn't bring the badge with them."

Ye Jiao blinked a few times. This was the first time she heard that there was actually a requirement to enter the headquarter. When she first entered it with Lu Wan, she hadn't heard of something like that. Their master also didn't tell them anything about this matter.

"You didn't know?"

"I didn't," Ye Jiao admitted. She furrowed her brows. "If you can't enter without a badge, how did you manage to enter before?"

"I stole a badge, but I'm sure that the owner already reported it by now. If I try to bring it inside again and the formation recognizes it, I might be walking straight to my doom," Zheng explained.

Ye Jiao nodded her head. They must have a way to recognize each person's badge because it was tailored specially for them. She was not sure what method they used, but it must be a special one.

"I'll just steal a badge for you."

"What?"

"I can come in and out easily with my badge," Ye Jiao shrugged. "I'll just steal another badge for you when I'm inside. Using that, you can enter the headquarters without any problem."

"You can just lend me your badge."

"And wait here?" Ye Jiao arched her eyebrow. "Do you want to court death by inviting numerous Eon Energy Masters out again when they alarm the entire headquarter?"

The previous time, Zheng had caused a large problem in the headquarter because he stole the secret manual. If he used the same method and was unable to get out in time again, a lot of Eon Energy Masters would surely block his way. When that happened, there was no telling whether he could get out alive or not.

His wound has healed because of the long journey, but it didn't mean he could challenge Eon Energy Master rank 4 recklessly like that.

Zheng nodded. "Then you should create a diversion when I take the secret manual and battle that Eon Energy Master rank 4. Make sure that they won't be able to take notice of me before I get out."

"Got it."

"Ok. I'll wait outside."

Ye Jiao walked around until she could see the headquarter before walking inside. There were fewer people inside the headquarter at this time. Some of them walked on the street randomly and it didn't seem like they were going to get out of the headquarter.

'No wonder that there's no trace of this headquarter from outside.'

If it was the one in Chen Kingdom, she could easily pinpoint the location after a few minutes or so because there would be someone getting in or out. This place seemed to be so desolate and void of life that it was perplexing.

Turning in the nearby intersection, Ye Jiao headed to an empty alleyway. She noticed a man walked in the opposite direction while mumbling. Hastening her speed, she swiftly bypassed the man while her Eon Energy worked to search his body. Sometimes Eon Energy Masters would keep their badge outside rather than in their storage bracelet.

Her lips curled up when she found his badge. With her Eon Energy, she brought it to her arm and covered it under her sleeve. The man didn't seem to notice anything as he was still busy mumbling something incoherently.

Ye Jiao returned to the entrance. She walked out and swiftly changed the direction of her body as a sword passed by where she stood before.

Swish!

"Do you have a hobby of greeting people with your blade?"

"I have to make sure that the one who appears is not an enemy," Zheng replied as he kept his sword away. "You're quick."

"I found a suitable one right away," Ye Jiao tossed the badge she took from the man to Zheng. "Let's get in."

The two of them walked into the headquarter as Zheng scrutinized the surroundings. It was smaller than the one in Chen Kingdom. Also, it looked like there was lesser people around the area.

"I don't understand why Eon Energy Master rank 4 will visit this place," Ye Jiao commented in a low voice.

"They have their own reason. One of them is because they have to make sure that the branch doesn't lack manpower and has a suitable number of assassins. Once it's lower than a certain number, they need to make up for it."

They reached the hall as Zheng stood near the door. He was wearing dark cloth that covered his face, making them unable to see him. Similar to him, Ye Jiao also wore one like that because it was the common clothes that assassins used.

"I'll be right back."

Ye Jiao entered the hall. Contrary to the empty hallway, the hall was filled with people. They gathered inside to chat with each other and shared the information they had gathered. As this place was far away from the cities, they needed to trade information.

Bypassing a group of people, Ye Jiao utilized her Eon Energy to her surroundings. With a little control, she flipped the skirt of a woman who was standing near several men.

"KKYAAAAAAa! PERVERT!"

SLAP!

The angry woman slapped the man's cheek. The man felt wronged as he tried to explain himself while the girl berated him.

As the crowd's attention was focused on the man and woman, Ye Jiao walked to the center. There was a large wooden table placed in the middle with several people sitting near it. With her Eon Energy, she cut off one of the legs of the table. As it turned imbalance, she moved to the side and extended her leg to trip the nearby man.

Bam! Prang! Clang!

The man was walking without paying attention. His legs tangled to Ye Jiao's leg as he crashed to the table. Without the leg supporting the weight, it tumbled on the ground. Several glasses were broken as other utensils also fell on the ground while the wooden table headed straight to the group of people behind them.

Slash!

"What the hell."

"Are you trying to pick a fight?"

The people surrounding the table were angry. They walked to the poor man, trying to demand an explanation.

As the tension grew higher, Ye Jiao looked at the front door and winked. Her clothe covered her mouth, but she was sure that the young man would know that she was smiling. She pointed to the stair.

Outside the hall, Zheng was utterly speechless by Ye Jiao's work. He knew that she was creating a diversion, but the way she did it…

She's truly a wicked young lady.

This was not just a normal diversion; it was a wicked diversion as she made several people to be the target.
