Wei young paced back and forth. After hearing that Murong li has a new sword made her feel nervous, would the Yaoguang Prince be heartless to her like those rabbits?

Liu Wei looked at the setting sun, he frowned.

"It's already sunset and still no sign of Murong li....could it be that....we were wrong?" He asks making Wei young laugh.

"Trust me....he'll be here"

Zhi Ming watched them, his stomach was growling in hunger and his mouth dry because of thirst, the fact that Murong li had not even come to rescue him made things worse.

"Don't be sad....he will come for you" Wei young taunted him.

Murong li got on a horse and started to make his way to Jingnan, the sun was almost gone making him very uneasy, did he wait too long? Wei young will never kill or harm Zhi Ming....the fact that they would even harm Zhi Ming made him very angry.

He tightly held the horse strap and kicked the horse on it's right side.

"Yah!"

The horse neighed and galloped faster.

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Liu Wei handed Zhi Ming a cup of water, Zhi Ming greedily chugged down the water making Wei young scoff.

"If you were thirsty why didn't you say so, we don't want to harm you" she said. Zhi Ming chuckled in a humourless tone.

"Then why am I here? Do you know the stress my father must be suffering from all because of you!"

Wei young remained silent as she remembered seeing Wang Yong cough up blood earlier on....maybe Zhi Ming is right...she is so petty to cause innocent people stress and inconvenience.

"What do we do now? Should we let him go?" Liu Wei asked. The question made Wei young's second guessing fly out the window.

"Are you insane? Murong li has to pay for the people he killed at my sect, you lost your prime minister...you should be more angrier than me"

Liu Wei sighed.

"Fighting fire with fire will not solve anything and you made my sect a hideout for your sins, if Murong li comes with his large army and destroys my father's sect i will hold you accountable"

Wei young gasped.

"You wouldn't dare..."

"Try me"

They glared at each other, suddenly the doors opened and Li Jun made his way to them, he bowed.

"My king...he's here"

Wei young smirked.

"See? Very predictable"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Murong li was on a hill that looked over the Jingnan palace, so far no one had spotted him, he took out his bow and arrows from the horse's travel bag and stood behind a tree, his eyes looking for a silver crowned woman and a specific white haired man.

"Where are they?"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Liu Wei sighed, at least it was about to be over with.

"You may leave Li Jun, thank you"

Li Jun bowed and left, Liu Wei's eyes locked on the boy's retreating figure making Zhi Ming laugh.

"Ah, Liu Wei...who knew hahaha"

"Knew what? Stop your Nonsense" Liu Wei said defensively.

Wei young sighed and rolled her eyes, she made her way outside hoping to find any sign of a red robed man walking around.

A swish could be heard and in a second Wei young screamed in pain, she made her way back inside the barn, blood dripping from her shoulder as an arrow was sticking out from it.

Zhi Ming and Liu Wei gasped.

"Did he bring an army?" Liu Wei asked in panic.

"I didn't see...it came out of nowhere" she said.

Another arrow shot to the door, the wooden arrow wrapped in soft pink cloth with the Yaoguang sect symbol drew on it.

"I think he came alone, we should attack now" Wei young said. Liu Wei shook his head.

"I do not have enough manpower to fight, if he did come with an army what do we do?"

Wei young bit her bottom lip as she pulled out the arrow, it landed on the ground and dark blood flowed from her wound.

"That demon has a good aim" she chuckled.

Liu Wei pulled out a blue papered talisman and slapped it on her wound, a cold chill ran up her spine and the flow of blood stopped.

"What was that?"

"A healing talisman, do not take it off until you've reached a doctor"

Wei young nodded, then she paused as soft footsteps could be heard outside, they could see a slim figure walking slowly to the barn door, a large bow in the figure's hand and arrows on the figure's back in a small holder.

Liu Wei could feel the atmosphere in the barn getting cold and this time it wasn't because of him.

The doors opened with a creak, there stood Murong li looking calm as ever.

"Queen Wei young...King Liu Wei " he said and bowed to them, his eyes locked on Zhi Ming who was starring at him.

"Are you alright?" He asks, Zhi Ming nods. A sign of relief was visible on the Yaoguang Prince's face.

Wei young smirked.

"So this is Murong li...the famous Ah li" she said. Murong li raised an eyebrow.

"So you don't remember me?" He asks, Wei young shrugged.

"I'd remember a face like that if I've seen one before but nope, doesn't ring a bell" she said. Murong li nodded, he looked over at Liu Wei.

"We meet again king Liu Wei" he said. Liu Wei nodded.

"Mn....did you come alone?"

"Yes....why?"

Wei young smirked, she pulled out her sword.

"It's good that you came alone....no witnesses"

Murong li looked at her, his calm face making her angry.

"Are you a statue? Show some emotion dammit"

Murong li chuckled.

"Queen Wei young...have you heard of the saying 'yī běn zhèng jīng? " He asks.

Liu Wei frowned.

"To always be serious?" He says making Murong li nod.

"That was the first rule they taught us here in Jingnan, a sect leader has to remain calm and serious no matter how scared or happy they are" he said.

"Ah li....they want to harm you....run" Zhi Ming said. Murong li nodded.

"I promised your father that i will have you at Yang Wu palace by morning and I will keep that promise" he said.

The bow he was holding dropped to his feet and a long bamboo flute emerged from his sleeve making Liu Wei gasp.

A shining sword emerged from the flute once Murong li twisted it, the other half fell to the ground.

"Wei young seems to want a fight with me so let's fight" he said, Wei young smirked, her training will be an advantage for her.

"Liu Wei let Zhi Ming go, the person we were waiting for has arrived"

ೋ❀❀ೋ═══ • ═══ೋ❀❀ೋ

Liu Wei and Zhi Ming made their way outside, Zhi Ming's legs were numb from sitting down too long.

"We have to go back, Murong li will kill her" Zhi Ming said remembering the ruthless wars Yaoguang had won under Murong li's control and orders.

"This is not about sects anymore, it's personal"

Zhi Ming paused.

"What do you mean?"

Liu Wei sighed.

"Remember the story of the naked boy that walked around the sect looking calm as ever?"

"No....."

"Yes....it was Murong li....and Wei young is the person who caused him such great embarrassment"

Zhi Ming was stunned to silence, he could feel himself getting angry at Wei young, the person he invited to his home, the same person who claimed to have feelings for him....

"That bitch"
