Sima Yun has been gloomy and depressed for the past ten days.

As a Bronze Rank Shadow Guard from the Sun God Palace, all the missions she's been given were to either assassinate a person or to eradicate a family.

Yet this time around, the mission she received was actually to follow and spy on someone. To make matters worst, the person she has to spy on was actually a weak little Monk.

Being able to obtain to the title of Bronze Rank in an organization such as the Shadow Guard of the Sun God Palace not only proved that she was a very powerful expert with great talent, it also showed that her abilities had already received preliminary recognition from the Shadow Guard Organization.

Sima Yun was a peak Martial Sovereign realm expert and all the missions she was given so far somehow corresponded to the level of her power. Sometimes, she even received missions to assassinate a target that was even stronger than her, and she still completed her mission with flying color.

As such, she found it kinda humiliating and beneath her to spy on little weak Monk who didn't seem to have the strength to thrust a little chicken.

A small mission like that was a waste of her time, not to mention completing it didn't amount to many points.

As an ambitious Shadow Guard whose main goal's to become an Adamantine Rank Shadow Guard who were responsible for shadowing the Sun Demi-God Her Majesty, Sima Yun had worked twice as hard as any Shadow Guards.

Whether it was concealment, disguising appearances, poisons, and the art hypnotism, she has diligently studied them all which was one of the main reasons she was able to promote to the Bronze Rank Shadow Guard as such a young age from a trainee.

Furthermore, in order to gather more points to increase her rank as well as stimulating her potential, she frequently volunteered for even more challenging missions aside from the ones assigned to her.

Because of her dedication and hard work, she received a lot of attention from the Shadow Guard Organization and the monthly resources allocated to her had increased by a lot as well.

Now that she was given the mission to follow and spy on a little monk, she felt as if the Shadow Guard organization has lost trust in her abilities, or maybe one of the higher-ups was toying with her.

Nonetheless, she was still trying her best to complete the mission as flawlessly as she could. Even if the mission was beneath, she was still going to give it her all.

After the monk left the small village, Sima Yun had following him from behind while trying her best not to be discovered.

Her mission wasn't to kill the Monk but was only to observe and reported her findings. So far, she hasn't found anything wrong about the Monk except for his miraculous abilities to heal people.

Before she left the Shadow Guard Base, she's read and studied my things about Monks and Buddhism, and that monk seemed to be the real deal so far.

The rumors about him eradicating an entire family by cursing them to death or the rumor about him killing a group of people and absorbed their blood and life essence seemed to be fake as well.

So far, the wandering Monk had no clue that he was being followed.

'you are so lucky, if the mission was to kill you, you would have died a thousand times already and you wouldn't even have a clue how you died.' Sima Yun thought inwardly as she looking at the monk enjoying the scenery outside, unaware that he has been followed for the past ten days.

Right when the monk was about the leave the road which was in the middle of a forest, he suddenly stopped and looked back, leaving Sima Yun stunned.

From the moment the monk left the village, he hasn't turned around not even once.

"Amitabha!, you have been following this poor wandering monk for days now, is there something you need to discuss with this poor monk." Ling Chen's words drifted into Sima Yun's ears.

However, she didn't answer.

'what the heck, don't tell me the monk knew he's been followed' she thought.

However, she quickly denied that thought. She made sure to suppress her heartbeat and her breathing while following the monk. Furthermore, she never got too close to the monk and didn't make any noise.

So she was so prepared that she used more than one thousand points to borrow a treasure that shields her from ant Spiritual sense just in case the monk was an expert any disguise.

Aside from that, she had taken many other precautions. There's no the monk found out about her following him.

That damn monk....he's probably making some wild guess because he's scare.

As a Bronze Rank Shadow Guard from the Sun God Palace, Sima Yun was very confident of her abilities to conceal herself and tail people.

If that damn Monk was a Martial Saint Powerhouse, then she would have understood if she were to found out because that powerful expert has certain control over the spatial law which was kinda scary.

But those monks were clearly a little mortal because she didn't sense any true Qi energy from him, except for this weird power to cure People.

Now that she thought about it. This monk was kinda weird. All the Monks in the past were powerful warriors that have cultivated and harnessed the true energy to tempered their bodies. Yet, this monk was different than a regular mortal.

No matter, she would have to wait until she got more interesting information to report her findings.

"Amitabha!, I know you are hiding begin the giant tree benefactor."

That sentence somehow shook Sima Yun's confidence.

' Don't tell that monk really knew about me!"

' No. there's no way. This is a forest and it's filled with countless giant trees. He's still blindly guessing."

Still, trying to draw me out?

As a Bronze Rank Shadow Guard, how could she fall for such a simple trick and weak goading technique?

"Amitabha! It seems like benefactor still doubt that she was found out."

"I didn't want to go into details. However, not only you are hiding behind the 5th giant tree behind me, but you are also a woman. You have a knife scar in your stomach. This poor monk could even tell the benefactor the color of her undergarment if you still don't believe this poor wandering monk." Ling Chen's voice drifted over once again.

Upon hearing Ling Chen's words, Sima Yun reacted with a violent shudder.

At this moment there was no denying it, the wandering Monk had truly found out about her. At the same time, she was scared shitless because she didn't how the monk knew she had a knife scar.

What the fuck about the color of her undergarment. Is that bastard really a Monk?
