Right now Yohan was following obediently with the man who helped her escape. Though he made the golden dragon catch him, but now he himself released him. Yohan had absolutely no idea why this man was doing such a thing that was completely unfavorable to her.
"So your name is Liu Yohan?" ming Jiajun asked after a long moment of silence.
"Yes" he answered briefly. It feels so strange to talk like this with someone who catches him, or sets him free? I don't know, that must be weird.
"How old are you now?"
"16 years,"
"Who is your family?"
"Just my mom" Yohan felt strange questions start popping up. What's the matter, actually?
"What color_"
"Can you get straight to the point? I don't like questions that are convoluted." cut Yohan couldn't stand Ming Jiajun's complicated questions anymore.
For a moment of silence. But not long ago Ming Jiajun returned to speak, "Have you ever met Ming Jiazhen?" finally the combo question came out of Ming Jiajun's mouth. Making Yohan's move stop with the question the man asked.
Ming Jiajun turned his body facing each other a few steps. "No, I change the question, are you.. Ming Jiazhen?" he said by showing a serious expression__very serious.
"Who is he?" yohan asked not to understand. Honestly, it was the first time he had heard that name. His name sounds familiar. Feels familiar.
Ming Jiajun stared fixedly at Yohan who was now confused. 'What is certain that person also has a thread iron scar mark on his neck.' thought Ming Jiajun. "Where did you get that wound?" tanyanya pointed at the wound on Yohan's neck.
"This?" Yohan pointed at her own neck, embraced by Ming Jiajun. "Some shithead in the village did a naughty thing to me. They bet on whether I was alive or not when a sharp thin thread slit my throat. Finally because I'm alive some people gang up on me again even when I'm on the verge of dying. Ha ha ha it's funny once~" explained Yohan with a crisp laugh on her face. Didn't know it was real or fake, which surely no one would still be able to laugh telling her that she had been slashed. Especially if the experience is funny.
Sorry, but that's not funny at all. No-sama-ka-li.
"Hmm," Ming Jiajun was seen muttering something in a very small voice. It is so small that ants cannot hear.
Yohan watched Ming Jiajun who was focused on thinking about something. He narrowed his eyes as Ming Jiajun took out something from under his cloak. It was a hanger for a sword that looked quite beautiful. "What's this?" he wondered why the man in front of him gave it to him.
"Suppose this is a gift from me for answering my question." a smile full of hospitality was plastered on his beautiful face.
Yohan took the red hanger. He looked at him in paying attention to the carvings and decorations on the hanger. "Thank you" he said flatly still looking at the thing in his hand. I don't know why he feels de javu with the current situation.
Instantly Yohan glared at Ming Jiajun's words. He frowned deeply, then laughed crisply, "It seems that the right question is 'how about you exploring the labyrinth with me to make it easier for me to keep an eye on you?' right, eh?" yohan said with an intimidating look.
"You could say so." Ming Jiajun replied honestly.
Yohan raised her eyebrows hearing the honest reply of the man in front of her. Unexpectedly, the first impression that initially looks scary turns out to be actually an unpredictable and outspoken person. "Why do you want to keep an eye on me?" ask Yohan curiously. At the end of the day, a lot of things happened to him. Not only that, he also met with various 'friends' who were 'strange'. Even though he was also included in the strange man.
"I thought you were the one I was looking for. To confirm my suspicions I need to see more clearly how you really are."
"After your suspicions are proven, what will you do to me?"
"If you're not the one I'm looking for, then I'll let you go without bothering you, but. if you're really the one I'm looking for, then don't blame me for killing you with my own hands." ming Jiajun. More visible explanations such as threats make it difficult for anyone to swallow.
However, Yohan only looked at the flat man in front of her. Without expression he grasped tightly the hanger in his hand. "Pfftt ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.." unexpectedly the young man laughed when he was threatened to be killed.
Ming Jiajun linked his eyebrows in wonder, how could the young man even laugh with his serious talk. "What's so funny?"
Yohan's laughter began to subside, but her face still showed a mimic that held back laughter. "Ah, don't mind my laughter, I just wanted to laugh" she said for an absurd reason. People don't laugh when there's no cause. "But are you sure you can kill me?" yohan asked, this time with a serious expression that instead looked like an evil expression. He glanced at the white-handled sword that lay behind Ming Jiajun's robe.
"Why not? Even now I could have killed you!?" ming Jiajun said with a humbling smile on his face.
That smile, Yohan did not like it. "Hurry dead. I don't like the type of person you are." Yohan said without further ado.
"Dress that too." she replied.
...***...
From the downstream of the river, two people who look different are praying on the river bank without saying a word after revealing one of their intentions.
Yohan continued to think why the man beside her was so sure if he was the person she had been looking for. He glanced as far downstream as the river of money looked clear clear. Even the bottom of the river looks very clear. But somehow his expression did not look astonished in the least. Though the other participants even teachers were always amazed to see it.
Even Ming Jiajun had always been fascinated with the beauty of the river in this spiritual labyrinth. There is no danger other than the beauty that is seen. It is suitable to be looked at and painted. "What do you see?" ming Jiajun asked wondering why Yohan always looked towards the river.
"The river, it's beautiful." she said still looking down at the river. Even though he said that, but what he saw was different from others. What he saw in his eyes was a river filled with red with several corpses floating on it. Forget about what he saw, because he knew it was just an illusion. The blood and the corpse don't really exist. And the river is truly beautiful. But he had to remember, not to show any suspicion for Ming Jiajun to kill him. Not one bit.
