Time Slip: The Xiao Lu
The Rise of Blackrose

Xiao Lu and Mao were already in the residence of Ong Xi and the others. They are now sitting in the minimalist guest room of Ong Xi's house. Xiao Lu looked to be checking Diwei who now looked very healthy.

"You've recovered as it turned out," Xiao Lu muttered but could still be heard by Diwei making Diwei smile widely while the others simply shook their heads.

After examining Diwei, he now looked at Ong Xi and the others with a serious face. Those who saw Xiao Lu's serious gaze also looked at Xiao Lu seriously.

"I told you I'd pick you up, didn't I? And now, again I ask, are you ready to follow me?" Xiao Lu asked seriously.

"We're ready!" Ong Xi, Diwei, Tao and Chyou.

Xiao Lu grinned making them all goosebumps and gulped in horror. They actually wonder why the little girl in front of them can actually be more mature than them plus creepy.

"Then pack up now. You'll stay in my house from now until you can." Xiao Lu said to surprise them.

"After you're able, we'll recruit the other members. And after that, we will find a suitable place to be our headquarters" he added.

They all cannot speak. They simply nodded and immediately rushed over to tidy up their meager items.

When they finished, they immediately went to the residence of Ahn. They walked with each of them flat-faced though not as flat as Xiao Lu. Except for Mao and Chyou who displayed their small smiles.

The people they passed by looked at them curiously. Especially when they looked at Xiao Lu who looked nothing like the most young girl.

Xiao Lu did not look as arrogant as the young miss. It has a calm but deadly aura. Her face was beautiful flat-bellied that made them curious as well as afraid.

'Leadly beauty.' That was as intense as they had in mind when they saw Xiao Lu.

Not felt, they were now in front of the gate of the Great General's House of Ahn. The neighbors who were none other than the officials he had been in were staring timidly at Xiao Lu when they happened to cross paths. However, Xiao Lu still greeted them kindly with his face still flat.

The neighbors promised inwardly that they would not make Xiao Lu angry. They had even reminded their families not to provoke the anger of an Ahn Xiao Lu who of course was directly obeyed by them. Even though they did not feel the aura that the men felt heula, they still remembered the first time they saw Xiao Lu at the engagement party. Moreover, it was when Xiao Lu casually threw his hair pin on the intruders that even the generals could not detect.

Guang Ho who happened to be going to the training ground for the special soldier in Ahn's residence stopped when he saw his sister carrying people who he thought were younger than him. Out of curiosity, he approached his sister.

"May may, who are they?" Guang Ho asked with a probing gaze towards Ong Xi and the others making the four of them quite uneasy.

"Oh, gege's home yet? They will be 'my people' ge," Xiao Lu replied casually.

"You mean?" Ask Guang Ho back. He really could not read what Xiao Lu was going to do. Her sister has completely changed. He became a cold and mysterious figure, although from the beginning his sister was strange because he preferred to stay silent in his pavilion or library.

"Gege will know later." Xiao Lu said.

"Sorry ge. I'm hustling. So your sweet sister is great" he added, nodding small and leaving followed by her people. Guang Ho just shook his head about his sister's 'politeness' behavior.

Guang Ho also put his shoulders and continued his journey to the training ground despite the many questions he had raised. But, he's sure. Xiao Lu would not do anything bad, but quite the opposite.

"Well, you will live in the pavilion behind my main residence. There is also a room for Mao. If there's anything you need, tell Mao about it. And Mao, you can explain these places to the four of them. I'll go back to the room to prepare for our training." Xiao Lu.

"Well miss," said the five men.

"Then go to rest because early in the morning I will train you all hard. Understood?"

"We understand!"

Xiao Lu nodded in satisfaction and walked towards his room as well as the five people walking towards the back pavilion that Xiao Lu had indeed made for where they were staying while here.
