"Yes master!", Jie Yi almost cry. This is the forth tasks he had to complete today. He almost die. The other shadow guard didn't have it easy too. Jie Er is now crying somewhere inside the HQ. He always is the soft hearted one amongst all the shadow guards. Jie San is the luckiest of them all as he is still in their enemy's den.The rest of shadow guards are now kneeling in front of the sect master, Long Jie.
'Tyrant!',this is their view on Long Jie. The sect master had been squeezing to the last drop of their energy on completing tasks. The tasks usually would take around 1 month to complete but they have completed all the tasks in 1 week.
Suddenly all the kneeling shadow guards are looking at the direction of the door. From the dark of the night, a man appeared. The man is now looking at all the shadow guards in front of him.
'Second master! Help us!', the shadow guards are looking at Rui Sheng with pleadings in their eyes.
"You've all suffered", Rui Sheng said to the shadow guards. This attracted Long Jie's attention to Rui Sheng. Knitting his eyebrows, he sighs.
"All retreat!", Long Jie commanded.
"Jie, is all this tyrannical behaviour necessary?", Rui Sheng stand in front of the large table after they're left alone.
Seeing as Long Jie didn't speak, Rui Sheng continued, "Jie, even a tiger would've die if it didn't sleep for a few days".
"I don't feel like sleeping", he replied.
"Ah~ then I should tell her to find another dragon as this dragon would surely died of exhaustion", Rui Sheng simply said this with a smile.
Long Jie look at Rui Sheng, sighing, he couldn't hide the hurt in his eyes, "She wouldn't even care".
"Well, if that certain man die, certainly the flower will be plucked by another", Rui Sheng had enough of this man. Couldn't he just be rational. 'Well, if it involves his flower, Jie had never been rational', he lamented.
"I'll cut anyone who dares!", Long Jie left to his bedroom. 'This cousin of mine is cursing me to die', he thought. Well, keep on dreaming! Even if he died he would still be haunting his future wife! Not even death could separate them. He left with a huff.
Rui Sheng, who had been left alone is now thinking of his tyrannical cousin's behavior these past few days, he could only feel pity to those shadow guards and disciples. Surely they are not as strong as Long Jie and soon would resulted in their demise.
'It seems like I should pay a visit to her', he disappeared in the night sky.
In Li mansion~
"Why did you come?", Li Xi Rui is not even batting an eyelash to this deity. Currently she is in her courtyard alone. Xiao Xi is in the kitchen preparing dinner for her miss personally. She had been diligent on learning.
Sitting elegantly in front of Li Xi Rui, he said, "I'm looking for a place to crash as there is a volcano erupting in my house". He took an empty cup from his sleeve and pour the chrysanthemum from Li xi Rui's teapot.
'He even brought his own cup! What is this?', Li Xi Rui scrutinized the man in front of her.
Seeing as Li Xi Rui didn't speak, Rui Sheng continue speaking, "This heart is no longer hating is it?".
Li Xi Rui could grasps what Rui Sheng is talking about, "It doesn't but it's not happy either".
"There will be happy occasion later on but a life in exchange of another is the price one have to pay", Rui Sheng smiled.
This time Li Xi Rui couldn't understand what Rui Sheng meant.
"Surely you didn't think that white lotus' departure is for sight seeing is it?", he said.
"I didn't think at all.. what she's doing is not a matter I want to be concerned of ", Li Xi Rui is being truthful. She has her man protection afterall. It's not her problem.
"Ah~ then it's not a concern. Just one thing....", he get up. "...please move the volcano and save the people in the village. If you did a good deed surely heaven would not be too heartless this time", he then disappeared.
Li Xi Rui look at the cup he left on the table. Slowly, the cup become invisible and vanished. 'What is this? Some sort of magic?', she thought. 'But that volcano, is it because of what I've said? Surely I dont have the ability to be that much of influence. But if this deity say people under him is suffering, shouldn't that be indirectly my fault? This is complicated', she thought. Remembering that cold faced man, she sighs. 'In this life maybe it would be different. Maybe I could... get him to help?', Li Xi Rui knew the matter involving her family's death in last lifetime is not a matter she could casually solved. It would've been great if Long Jie could help. One thing she is sure of, Long Jie is not one to break his promise. That man is as straight as a bamboo pole.
Unbest-known to her, that said bamboo pole will be bending to every direction she directed.
