In the afternoon, Zh Rui lay awake in the nude, she stared at Her ceiling, now dim lighted with glowing blue crystals.

'They must've brought it in while I was unconscious.'She thought.

Smiling Zhi Rui reached with her fingers, moving Zhun Xuying's messy her out of her face.

looking at her sleeping without worries made Zhi Rui laugh. Since only a month ago Zhun Xuying would be startled by any brusque movement.

Zhi Rui lightly caressed the now exposed blushed cheeks. suddenly a light breeze chilled her skin.

Zi Rui stopped her movements and swiftly covered Zhun Xuying's nude body with a blanket.

Slowly, she got up from the bed, to enter the pond, the water reached her waistline leaving her upper body bare showing her scabbed wound right in the middle of her chest. Zhi Rui opened her arms to the side in a relaxed manner.

"What do you want?." She asked coldly.

"It's incredible that a person can be this impolite to her savior" The floating old man in rags; Diggy chuckled.

"I doubt you were so selfless as to not have your own reasons. Thought, you did a bad job." Zhi Rui finishes and pushed her chest forward making the wound evident.

Diggy, Ignored her, and his eyes went to Zhun XUying covered in the blanket, then turned back to Zhi Rui's bare chest.

"You don't care if a beast looks at your naked body, but when it's your friend, you cover them."

"I Don't share what's mine with outsiders." Zhi Rui answered curtly.

Diggy laughed. Zhi Rui eyes were expressionless.

As his laugh settled, his face became stern." You just gained free pass to act inside the sect, why go elsewhere?"

"I need more power to deal with what's to come, that includes rising mine and my subordinate's strength. I can't do that in front of the sect." Zhi Rui said.

Diggy's face turned somber "Once you're out of here, Zhang Wei fina way to take the disciplinary division away from you. Even if you gather enough strength, you won't be able to do anything without authority."

Zhi Rui smiled coldly. "Besides the discounts on the interconnect store The leader of the disciplinary Division is not worth much, I won't need it when I come back."

Silence came between them Diggy stared deeply into her eyes.

"My relationship with her triggers your oath?" Zhi Rui suddenly asked.

Diggy didn't change his face "As long as it's not known or made public. I will not put my nose in it.

"Good then." Zhi Rui nodded."You can leave."

NOt moving from his place, Diggy ignored her and after a period of silence he asked

"You really think you can take over the sect?"

Zhi Rui nodded casually.

Without another world Diggy faded away, his eyes never left her face.

Zhi Rui smirked. 'With his approval, the issues were cut in half.'

The noise of sheets moving sounded on her ear. Turning to look

Zhun Xuying's lazy eyes were open and staring at herself. Zhi Rui winked at her.

"Wash yourself up, you'll gather everyone in the empire, even Izaya's daughter. Be here by morning."

Zhun Xuying sighed unwillingly, "Y-You'll tire me to death!" muttering She turned around without looking at Zhi Rui and went away.

"Throwing tantrums at this age... so cute."Zhi Rui's laugh echoed.

"Yes, your highness, a rumor of an assassin with a stealth ability that makes him invisible appeared in the barbarians conflicts, and from what we discovered, we're completely sure. it is Han Fei the one who scaped Zhi Rui.

An armored Guy announced in the form of an extensive tent.

From inside a powerful middle-aged man asked "Did he brought any supplies?

The guard hesitantly shook his head. The General scoffed "They really want us dead!"

The captain looking at a map silently sighed. It's been a month already, and the resources keep getting cut off. The official story is that bandits or natural disaster struck, and the supplies are never delivered.

Soon the sound of the tent's opening rustled came and Zheng Li showed his face through it.

He acted the same way as aways. Ignoring everyone besides the general and the captain.

"I've come to help." He said.
