Could I be forgiven for thinking that the home base of an organization that attempted to assassinate the crown prince might take the care to move around from time to time, just in case a situation such as this pops up?
I doubt that anyone else, but the WIB could regognize us if she kept taps on us. Were like 12-14 year old when we met and for perhaps at tops 5 minutes? Iif she knows that we were adjutant then she has good reason to believe we are dead due to our failure to protect prince. Besides we have changed psychically great deal, we are hulking beast of man who has traveled world for years, not some soft palace boy no longer. Honestly I don't think that their recognize us as crown's prince right hand, but as travelling powerful unorthodox fighter and Zhang's appearance
We also entered as large muscular traveling merchant selling condoms, who for some reason paid of some no note of scholar out of his dept. Strange, but I doubt that they suddenly connect dots that condom seller is relatively famous Southern mania'c appearance and forgotten crown prince's servant. Besides all kind of pugilists visit the city, strong and weak, unorthodox and orthodox, unknown and famous. We are strong and have some fame, but we still have long way to go even to be considered one of most powerful pugilists. They would have to be on constant move if someone like us is even remotely near them. Not to mention we would be on their homeground where they have all the advantages, they could poison us, hire assassins to kill us, make traps for us, or just kick out ass as whole group.
Pirate hunting sounds like great misdirection for these guys.
" hey remember that guy who asked about us?"
" Yeah, is that disgusting man coming here?
" Nope, he went to hunt pirates, luckily for us that men are so stupid that they are distracted that we don't need to worry for someone to bust our asses"
" Yeah, Now I have time to get proper tan!"
They don't know our motives, they are on their hometurf where their master probably resides, they assasin guild at the next door and we don't come knocking as soon as we caught their scent then they probably don't expect us. We might be able to kill few people in there, but their masters and senior disciples tear us apart when they attack in group. In short they don't have to worry that we destroy their sect, they may even consider us as opportunity if we have enought cash to be considered as potential customer.
I don't think that WIB considers us such big threat that they have to move out of their en masse at sight of us. Hell Frathouse boys probably has using whorehouse's service during their entire existence and they probably still didn't move out at sight of them and Frathouse boys are definitely way stronger than we are.
Besides Do we even know what we do there when we arrive there apart from usual investigation. Do we just try to kill them all? Do we try cross-dress as girl to infiltrate their ranks? do we just go there, investigate what we can as a man and try to send report to prince?
As for teaching Yu some of Zhang's techniques, I very much doubt that our Master would kill us over that. Zhang might be a madman, but he's generally extremely hands-off about what we do and only seems to care about our mission. However, if he somehow does find out that we've taught Yu some of the Shouwang Claws, maybe our Master would be tempted to take Yu in as another apprentice.
I-I don't even want to think what Zhang would do if he finds about Yu's inner beast
As Nevill said, Yuhua Hall is a place of information, so Yu isn't blind to the goings on in the world.
I understand that everybody wants to head into the Black Dragon Society HQ with a lot of money in tow and well-prepared (and because pirates), but she could be planning another assassination with this group. Now, that's just speculation on my part and maybe we should prepare ourselves by going on a sidequest before we head into the belly of the beast, but I find it difficult to let this lead slip
True, but I think the question is what can we do there with money or no money. I don't think that we are powerful enough to destroy them in single confrontation and Scholarbro will most likely to betray us if we try to do that. At laest with money we can buy passage for us that is quicker than walking if we want to report to prince. Money can even helps us, if we want to sabotage them, since we then need supplies, bribes and even buy help from assassins to do something
