" Ah, it's kind of impossible, though..." Li You scratched his head, " Xiao Li, Xiao Yun, I really think we shouldn't get involved. After all, that sort of thing is between family. No matter what, Qiang He will continue to poison Qiang Li. He wants him dead."

Qia Yun narrowed her eyes, opening her mouth to speak. Yet, Xiao Li beat her to it.
" Li You, you bastard! Making us think you actually had a feasible plan! You're just trying to get our hopes up, you horrible man. There's a poor man that's going to die because of us, " Xiao Li wiped droplets of tears away from her face, " Li You, you really are ridiculous! Miss Qia, let's go! I can't stand this trash with no balls!"
Hiccuping from all her sudden lashing out, Xiao Li stood up, ignoring the pain in her leg and hobbling out of the room.
Li You stood frozen on the spot, he hadn't expected her to react so strongly. Feeling guilty that he made Xiao Li so upset, Li You slumped down, his head downcast.
Qia Yun pursed her lips, looking down at Li You's sorry figure. Standing up quietly, she followed after Xiao Li. They were in a foreign place, if anything happened to Xiao Li, especially since she was injured, she would never forgive herself. No matter what, Xiao Li had been her oldest and closest friend.
" I... it's really difficult if not impossible. I didn't want to continue feeding your false hope! I..." Li You called after the disappearing duo. His hands fidgeting nervously. He cradled his head, sighing heavily, " I'm sorry."
As he was about to stand up to look for the two girls, Xiao Li appeared at the doorway. Her arms were crossed, a look of apparent contempt on her face. No matter what she did, it was for Miss Qia and now Qia Yun wanted her to listen to Li You.
" Look, we all have to stick together. Even if we dislike each other. In the end, we are in a foreign land and we have to agree that Li You has the information that will help us survive here, " Qia Yun reasoned.
Wiping her tears away, Xiao Li had followed her back. She quietly sat down, staring daggers at him, traces of tears staining her face.
Li You winced, his shoulders tensing up as he psyched himself up for the shouting. Qia Yun strode in and sat down on the bed. Right now, they needed a plan to save Qiang Li. The two girls glared at Li You, waiting impatiently for him to explain himself."
"Well, as I said, it is hard to even know the location of the antidote, we should just drop this "
" That's not an option. We'll find it's location, " Narrowing her eyes, Qia Yun argued back.
" Ah, the owner of this antidote is really stingy and won't want to give it away, " Li You continued to justify his stand.
" We'll convince or force him. Either one, at most we can guilt-trip him into giving it to us. He wouldn't want an innocent man's blood on his hands, would he?"
Unable to reason with Qia Yun's quick responses, Li You shut his mouth. Xiao Li nodded her head, agreeing with Qia Yun. Indeed, Miss Qia was a genius who spoke little but every word had meaning, without any nonsense. She glanced at Li You, rolling her eyes.
" Miss? Are you in there?" A shy voice rang out, " I apologise for interrupting your rest but a messager is here, looking for you."
Qia Yun's ears perked up, her expressionless face turned curious with a hint of fear. Who would be looking for her?
Tensing up, Li You clutched his blade, ready to use it whenever he deemed fit. Xiao Li tried to peek at who it was but her injury forced her to stay seated.
" Hello Miss Ming, I bear news from the Qiang Mansion. You have been cordially invited to the Young Master's Estate. "
" Which young master?" Li You whispered to Qia Yun.
