Shining Duos

Surveying around the field Kazami notice there truly wasn't a whole bunch left. There were only 10 of them to be exact and the most notable one he saw was the black shade man while the rest seem odd to him.

The tall and imposing man led them inside the Great Cloud sect and the building was extensive holding many rooms and hallways that lead to different connected buildings.

"All of you wait here the one who will fully explain the mission and lead it will be arriving shortly." The man told and left leaving everyone to talk among themselves.

Kazami was standing in between Kuzumi and Brenda when Brenda turned and ask him;

"I don't suppose you know the full details of this mission either?"

"Nope, we mainly came to this sect for its great reputation and for the experience but with our skills, I'm sure we can manage most things."

"And what makes you so sure about that?"

Shrugging his shoulders all Kazami said was;

"Just call it an instinctual divine feeling."

Snorting she rolled her eyes at him and that's when they saw a majestic figure walking towards them. He was average height with tidy long blue and wore a classy purple robe uniform. The man radiated a natural dominating aura and walked with the utmost confidence.

Everybody was silent as they stared at him and when he got close to them him he opened up with;

"Greetings all I'm sect elder Wayne and I'll be guiding you all on this special mission."

'I can't sense this guy at all he must be a peak Ruler Transformation or maybe even in the Heaven Ruler realm!' Kazami thought while secretly trying to feel this guy out.

"Now after I explain this mission we won't force you to take it and will have the option to leave but you won't be joining our sect anytime soon then." He stated and this got some question raising and one guy asked;

"Wait why would we want to leave what could possibly be so bad?" A brown hair youth was saying. He had the appearance of a stylish young master and was in the 9th level of Spirit Formation, this was the young genius of the Yellow Sky clan.

"Well you see for this mission we will be going to the lair of the white slaughtering tiger and killing it while also looting the lair."

"?!!!" Everyone was shocked, they couldn't believe they were going to take on a mission as soon as they came to the sect.

However, Kazami, Kuzumi, Lun Yuo was only confused while Brenda had a solemn expression.

Taking the time Kuzumi asked;

"Uhm what so special about the white slaughtering tiger beside its overbearing name?"

"I'm glad you ask as this take me to my next point, this tiger has been terrorizing our province for a long time now and it's very tricky to get to since it holds up in Ashes Mountains. It's a highly intelligent beast as it was able to set up various traps in the mountain making it practically impossible to get through, and it also has several high-level goons to do it's bidding." The man went off to explain but Kuzumi wasn't very impressed with this tiger.

"So where do we fit into all of this?" She asked him.

"Ah you see normally it would be impossible to get to it but recently we received support from a higher rank province allowing for the sect and several Heaven King Sea cultivators to fight the beast although in the end the beast still lived and managed to run away. The good thing is it's cultivation severely dropped in doing so falling all the way from the peak of Heaven King Sea to early Heaven Ruler realm. Now we must strike while the iron is hot."

"Wait why not just have people from your sect team up and kill the beast then." The Yellow Sky clan genius asked.

"Normally we would but immediately knowing the exposure it would be in somehow the tiger manages to grasp a special barrier tails men that block any Heaven King Sea cultivators from entering it and our sect are preparing for the Veiled Kingdom gathering that's happening soon. The traps in there are deadly and we need outside support this time since no other province has the time to help us again."

"Still why not just gather up Heaven Ruler cultivators or Ruler Transformation people than us Origin Formation and Spirit Formation." Lun Yuo questions this time.

"Because we need to be discreet as possible when traversing Ashes Mountain. Not only does the previous formation block out any Heaven King Sea people it also severely limits the power of cultivators Ruler Transformation and above. Also when we would be forced to use power Ruler Transformation and above in any manner no matter how small it is, there are several formations alarms that will go off then alerting the white slaughtering tiger and all of his high-level goons as well making it impossible to simply barge in there with a strong crowd."

"So you want decently talented cultivators in the Origin Formation and Spirit Formation to fight off any traps and low-level beasts since I assume you have route layout to get to the beast but the formation and those alarms kept you from doing so," Kazami explained after listening carefully.

"In some manner but the overarching goal is for us to get into the main room where the tiger resides and using special made tails men we can destroy the whole formation barrier and also finish off everyone there."

"Will it just be us attempting this?" Brenda spoke up this time.

"Don't fret while we may have limited numbers on Ruler Transformation and Heavens Rulers, we still have top-notch Origin Formation and Spirit Formation disciples too join this mission, not only that we also have special magical tools to make sneaking around easier. So does anybody wants to leave this is your last chance." Sect Elder Wayne concluded and glancing around he notices the 10 people there all had determined gazes and stood in the same spot.

"Haha! Good confidence I see and don't worry you all be rewarded handsomely in joining our sects and other special rewards will be given!." Then he looked specifically at Kazami, Kuzumi, Lun Yuo, and Brenda saying;

"And for you three divine talents and you five-star talent, you five will gain something very special after this mission. Now follow me I'll shall show you all to your temporary residence and tomorrow we will meet with our 7 handpick disciples for this mission."

He leads the 10 people towards a hallway with several doors on each side of the wall.

"Here take any room you d.e.s.i.r.ed their all vacant and meet in this hallway by morning tomorrow. Have a good rest." Sect Elder Wayne warmly smiled and then went off to his own business.

"I think I'll go off to check my room have a good rest now Kazami, I'm sure we're going to have to show off again tomorrow." Brenda smiled and waved at him and enter a random room with the rest of the other six proceeding to do the same, leaving only the trio by themselves.

"Well now that we're alone, finally, what should we do now?" Lun Yuo asked breathing a sigh of relief that there finally alone again.

"Hmm, for now, you go get some rest and tomorrow before anyone wakes up we'll discuss Kazami ideas here, we brother and sister have some private family talking to do," Kuzumi told her and finding her behavior odd again she still chose to go with it and said to them;

"If you say so rest well the two of you then." She then hugged both of them before going into a room of her own choosing.

Once she was gone Kuzumi grab Kazami hand and rushed into a room making sure no one saw them.

The room was nice, clean and spacious having a big window of the beautiful courtyards outside allowing one to take in the exquisite scenery.

But the twins ignored this and Kazami was able to finally ask her;

"So what's been making you act so strangely all of the sudden?"

Smiling she sat on the bed getting comfortable and then decided to talk.

"Answer me this first, that Brenda girl she was a nice girl right?"

Sighing and rolling his eyes Kazami knew where she was heading too.

"You're thinking about me making her my lover later on right?"

"Bingo! But not later I mean you could start right now. Think about it for a second this mission will most likely take a week and in this dangerous week you can easily cultivate feelings between you and her, and I'll talk to Yu which will make her confess her feelings for you and then-"

"Have her accept about me having multiple wives and have Brenda accept it too and pick up any beautiful woman I take a liking for."

"Ah you just kn-"

'Pa!'

"Ah! What was that for!" Kuzumi w.h.i.n.ed while rubbing her forehead where Kazami just flicked her.

"As I said before everything takes time and carefulness on how to proceed especially matters of the heart. I could sense the slight discomfort Yu felt but we need to handle it with a bit more class than what you're suggesting."

Rolling here eyes Kuzumi mocked him by fake dozing off and then said;

"Yadda yadda brother! I'm telling you actions speaks louder than words! What are you going to do wait a year before finally kissing Yu and another to kiss with Brenda. Boooring! By that time they'll probably just move on from you."

"Look yo-"

"Fine fine! I know how stubborn you can be, but look just trust me I'm a woman too I can tell their feelings better than you, so I'll help placate the jealously they would feel until you can cultivate their feelings to the right amount and have them together! Also, don't misunderstand I know you think I'm making this a game but I'm serious about this! I also don't want you to just get any good looking chick and remember I know how your heart works and if you like something it really doesn't take long or any effort for you to want to holy pursue it!" She finished with a finger playfully on his c.h.e.s.t looking directly into his eyes a wide smile on her face.

"Yea I also know your heart the best as well little girl but I guess you're right in I did quite fancy her when I first laid my eyes on her. But remember I only want the people I love to be happy not playing around with their feelings! Now go get some rest." Kazami concluded looking into her eyes and then went to the bed to lay down and relax leaning on the bed frame.

But he felt a bump on the bed and turned around to face Kuzumi resting in the same position. Deciding to tease her a bit Kazami said;

"What's wrong can't sleep without your dear brother?"

Laughing lightly she told;

"Oh please, I'm just too lazy to walk back out there."

"Right right just get some shut-eye we probably have a big day tomorrow."
