Everyone rested at the Yun Family estate for the night.
At daybreak the next morning, the Azure Dragon Academy students scattered throughout Ming City in various disguises. Some traveled on foot, others by carriage, each with a different bearing and identity.
Eventually, everyone gathered in a large courtyard residence. No one knew whose property it really was; nominally, it belonged to a merchant, but barring any surprises, it was a place the Yun Family used to conceal its activities.
Once everyone had assembled, Tang Yan had them change back into their clothes and led them toward the Chu Family estate.
The Yun Family's experts emerged from the family's secret passage and dispersed through the streets.
The sun stood high, and the streets teemed with people.
When the passersby saw over a hundred neatly dressed young people, surprise flashed in their eyes. Who were these people? What were they going to do?
"Huh, look at that young man in the lead. He looks familiar," someone said, pointing at Tang Yan.
Many took a closer look, and someone soon identified him. "Isn't that Tang Yan, the man the Chu Family put a bounty on? He's worth a hundred million taels of silver!"
Everyone jolted. Rumor had it that he had spent the past three months hiding in Azure Dragon Academy, leaving them no chance to assassinate him. Yet now he dared to appear in Ming City with such fanfare?
Looking at the hundred-odd people behind Tang Yan, quite a few people suddenly recalled an absurd rumor: three months ago, Tang Yan had declared that he would wipe out the Chu Family!
Most people had actually been skeptical of that rumor. But seeing today's situation, they all felt it was even more unreal. Could it all really be true?
