Master Shu is the Ming sect's overseer of the Xiao sect, Jackie and Hao Du are seen at the Xiao sect gate.
Greetings, please send us word to Master Shu, we are envoys of Wudang. Hao Du said to the guards at the gate. One of the guards went inside and reported to Master Shu, the envoys of Wudang are at the gate. Send them in, replied Master Shu.
They group went inside and were taken to the meeting hall, where they met Master Shu. Greetings Master Shu, the two said with a bow. You may rise, Master Shu replied. He came closer to assess their martial arts, but couldn't perceive anything from Hao Du. Because he has mastered the art of concealing his martial arts.
He could feel the immense aura emanating from Jackie though, Jackie tried to seal his aura, but he has not mastered the art as much as Hao Du. Interesting, Master Shu said, you both claimed to be envoys, but one of you is a martial artist.
I am the son of the sect leader, so it is only natural for me to travel along with my body guard, since I don't know any martial arts, Hao Du replied. Take them to the guest room Master Shu commanded the servants. I will prepare a feast to welcome you later the night he added. Thank you, they bowed as they followed the servants.
Send someone to confirm their identities before tomorrow Master Shu commanded the guards. We need to watch out, no one is trustworthy.
What is our next move? Hao Du asked Jackie the moment they were alone in their room. Later I will contact my father's personal guard. Before the welcoming feast. We will use the welcoming feast as an opening to kill Master Shu and rescue my parents. Later the evening Jacki started humming and whistling a melody, which sent a message to his father, his mother and the father's personal guard.
Not long after, servants came to invite Jackie and Hao Du over for the feast. The two followed the servants to the meeting room. Greetings Master Shu they bowed and greeted. Have your seats he replied. Get the feast started, he commanded. Dancers came in and started entertaining them, while the servants started sharing food and wine.
Master Shu poured in a cup and gestured to Hao Du and Jackie, you have come a long way, allow me to use this cup to welcome you. Cheers they all gestured and drank. Master Shu poured a second cup. I also learnt the invitation is for yours and your sister's wedding, allow me to use this cup to congratulate you in advance.
Master Shu stood up and gestured to both Hao Du and Jackie again, they also stood up and took the second cup together with him. While this was going on Mr. Lees personal guard has already freed Mrs. Claire (Jackie's mother) upon Jackie's signal. She has also undone the seal to Mr. Lee's secret Chamber, and they are already regrouping.
Permit me to pour a final cup, Master Shu said, while pouring another cup of wine, Jackie and Hao Du did likewise.
This is to applaud your audacity of coming here Jackie Lee, even though you are not going to leave alive. I have long suspected that you were hiding at Wudang. And planned to finish you up at the wedding. But you happened to bring yourself, I don't know if its bravery or you are just foolish.
