Mountain foot, Kaida…
The time is not yet even early in the morning when the colorful balls of light settle down around the mountain like a sprinkling of popular flowers and dandelions.
From a distance the formation looks like a constellation but at the same time it also looks like snowflakes scattered and glowing.
It was a line of sky soldiers that floated and huddled at the foot of the cliff. Those colorful circles of light came from their bodies.
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu had just arrived at the castle grounds with the golden-haired Hua Zu when he discovered that the golden-haired Hua Zu was hovering around a number of sky soldiers near the mouth of the cave at the foot of the mountain, the place where the black-haired Hua Zu was still confining himself to training his swordsmanship without the guidance of a teacher.
"Jian practiced until he was almost lost" replied the golden-haired Hua Zu beside him, while the golden-haired Hua Zu who was hovering did not distract him from the mouth of the cave.
"And you're just watching?" taunted Xiao Yu.
Hua Zu who was at the mouth of the cave turned to Xiao Yu and smiled obliquely, "I'm waiting for you, Chief!" he said scoffed.
"Oh, what a hassle!" erang Xiao Yu while jumping to the foot of the mountain and joined the crowd.
Hua Zu who was with her had disappeared—became another one with her real body.
Xiao Yu darted into the cave to the thunderous thunder that shook the entire place, and in an instant Hua Zu darted towards Xiao Yu dashing the tip of his sword while roaring.
"YYYYYYYY…!!!"
BOOM UP!
YOAAARRRR!!!
The tip of his sword exploded throwing a bolt of lightning.
Xiao Yu spontaneously flicked his body avoiding the rain of Hua Zu's sword.
The sword stuck into the cave wall, several inches from Xiao Yu's chest.
And before Xiao Yu could get up, Hua Zu had already tossed his body again and swooped down while directing his palm that was spouting fire heat energy towards Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu curled it with water energy, smashed his palm with Hua Zu's palm and caught it, then twisted it until the young man was thrown into the cave wall.
BRUISES!
Hua Zu slumped in the corner of the cave, and immediately Xiao Yu jumped towards the young man and scooped up his body, then darted out while carrying the young man.
Hua Zu staggered and coughed until it spurted blood from his mouth.
"Switch the sword!" hua Zu's orders on one of the sky soldiers.
The sky army bowed and directly darted into the cave to retrieve Ilojim's sword, while the golden-haired Hua Zu helped Xiao Yu carry the black-haired Hua Zu's body towards the castle.
Within seconds, they had gathered back together in one of the rooms within the castle.
Xiao Yu sat the black-haired Hua Zu on the floor while the golden-haired Hua Zu sat cross-legged behind him preparing to channel the energy of the universe he possessed and split it in half.
"Are you crazy?" xiao Yu protested after the golden-haired Hua Zu transferred half of his energy to the black-haired Hua Zu, and that meant that half of the power in the universe belonged to the black-haired Hua Zu. "He hasn't even realized his identity yet" Xiao Yu muttered as he glanced into the room.
The two sky soldiers laid the black-haired Hua Zu's body on Xiao Yu's bed in the chairman's room, while Xiao Yu walked out with the golden-haired Hua Zu.
"I'll bet, when he regains consciousness, he will attack the Kuangre Dagger Sect!" said Xiao Yu.
"You'll bet on the omniscient?" challenge Hua Zu.
Xiao Yu immediately sighed. "True, too" he said.
"If he doesn't attack the Kuangre Sect, forever he won't understand the truth" Hua Zu said.
"Jieru will still deny it" Xiao Yu refuted.
"That's not the important part" Hua Zu said. "If I come down to earth as his sword, then Jian comes down to earth as my hell!"
The Governor's Palace, Yeliushen…
Xi Xia had just fallen asleep when a dark shadow flashed across the room, slipped into the corner of the room and opened his jewelry drawer inside the closet.
A girl dressed in tight all black without hanfu in the same color tight armor shoes. It was so tight that it didn't look like a piece of clothing, but like part of her skin. Her hair is bunched tightly on both sides of her head forming the ears of a cat.
The girl now pulled out Xi Xia's jewelry drawer and took out the crown prince's therapeutic jewel necklace to suck out the energy from the black stone that instantly emitted black smoke when she touched it.
The smoke seeped into his body and instantly the body lit up like embers, the longer the brighter the light emits fire that shimmered throughout the room as if in the room there was a furnace that was burning.
From across the courtyard, from the balcony of Shin Wu's room, Lin Yao whispered to her brother while pointing at Xi Xia's room window. "See that!"
"What's going on?" pekik. "What's Miss fire's room?"
"I'll check it!" Lin Yao decided.
"Let me alone," Yuze immediately grabbed Lin Yao's arm. Then it sped up to Xi Xia's balcony room.
Simultaneously, two of Xi Xia's shadow bodyguards darted towards Yuze.
And immediately the light in the room darkened and went out.
A mute fight broke out on the roof of Xi Xia's estate without the patrolling guards noticing.
While inside the room, the crackling sound of closet drawers and the clattering of jewelry spilled from his box disturbed Xi Xia's sleep.
Xi Xia flinched until he sat down and his panicked eyes swept across the room.
A shadow shot out to the window and disappeared behind the curtain.
Xi Xia gulped and crept down from his bed, then was wide-eyed to find his jewelry box scattered on the floor. She timidly looked around the room.
"Hatschis!" a sneezing sound.
Xi Xia turned around and wide-eyed, staring at the window curtain vigilantly. Then tiptoe and reveal the curtain by jerking it.
"Hatschis!" there was another sneezing sound, heard from under the window.
Xi Xia frowned and bowed to look at the dark wisp on the floor.
It turns out that the little cat Hua Zu gave her. The cat shivered, its feathers standing upright.
Xi Xia chuckled amusedly, "It turns out you are!" he said as he bent down to scoop up the cat and lift it into his arms. "What are you doing down here?" whisper while stroking his fur.
The little cat trembled in his arms.
Xi Xia circled a glance once more, then rushed to the door and opened it.
The two guards in front of the door spontaneously flinched and turned around in unison facing Xi Xia on standby.
"Check my room!" xi Xia's orders were half whispered.
The guards bowed in unison.
"And don't be noisy!" Xi Xia added. "I don't want the whole palace back in a row."
The bodyguards bowed again, then rushed inside in a quick motion without a sound.
