Chapter 913: Flame GhostShui Xian didn't even have to think to know what his father's reaction would be. Shui Koshing had been yearning to see his daughter at home for years. Of course, he'd be happy but Shui Xian wondered if the painful words exchanged between the two over the years would be forgotten. He didn't think it was that easy.
"What's your thought about this?" asked Shui Xian.
"Me? It's not my place to put forward my opinion. As long as she can treat Bà with sincerity, I have nothing to say about her."
Shui Xian pressed his lips together and sighed softly.
"Husband, can we do fishing here?"
Shui Xian coughed when he heard that question and shook his head like a rattle, "No, darling that's not allowed. You can feed these fishes but the fish can't become your food."
"No? Why?"
"It's a temple. Every life is important no matter how small and insignificant it seems," said Shui Xian. "When we were climbing up, do you remember seeing a couple of young monks sweeping the stairs?"
Raelle nodded her head.
"They weren't actually cleaning the stairs. Their purpose is to pick up small insects so that no one would step on them. Do you get what I'm saying?"
Raelle nodded again, "You have to cherish every life. Theirs are as precious as yours. That's the concept, right? So killing is not allowed here."
Shui Xian rubbed her head dotingly, "Indeed. In ancient times, when people used to freely hunt, it was not allowed to hunt in these mountains because of the temple's protection." He took a pause and said, "I'm gonna discuss something with the Abbot about the ceremony tomorrow morning. And while I'm at it, I'll arrange for our stay here tonight."
"Okay," replied Raelle.
"You look around here," said Shui Xian and left to get his things done.
Raelle slowly walked around while observing her surroundings. She could hear the chirping of birds coming from the forest that surrounded the temple. Walking around, she saw a cherry blossom forest. But sadly, it was already summer so cherry blossom blooming season was already over.
However, Raelle could tell that this place must look gorgeous once the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. She looked at the wildflowers scattered around adding another kind of beauty to this aged place.
Suddenly, something caught her eye and she walked over slowly. It was a small plant. There was only one single flower slowly blooming on it. It looked like the lilies. But on closer inspection, Raelle could tell it wasn't a lily. The petals were almost transparent. Raelle found it very interesting and couldn't help extending her hand to touch it.

"Stop!"
Raelle's hand was about to touch the flower but stopped after hearing that voice. She looked over. She saw the guy who had been copying scriptures inside earlier walking towards her. Dressed in all black, his green eyes were even more prominent.
But the aura around that figure was too strong and deadly. It prompted Raelle's bodyguards to stand in the way and diligently try to keep the newcomer away from their Missy.
However, Raelle watched with her own eyes as the guy barely even moved but subdued her team of bodyguards. That guy didn't attack her team. Only, somehow he stopped them from moving.
Raelle looked up to meet those green eyes. If Hyson was here, he'd recognize this person easily since he met the same person at the bar the other night. It was none other than the person who introduced himself as Young Master Ru to him at that time.
"Your fighting style is similar to Hawk Mercenaries," stated Young Master Ru in a charming voice. Then he looked up at Raelle and smirked, "Very interesting."
"Are they okay?" asked Raelle.
Ru shrugged indifferently, "Relax. They'll be able to move in fifteen minutes. Who asked them to attack me without understanding the situation? Do I look like a man-eater?" Running those slender fingers through his short hair, he added, "This young master is so handsome and so cultured. Do I look like a bad guy? This young master can even put good guys to shame. If you have no use for those eyes, you can donate them."
Raelle didn't say anything once she heard that her team of bodyguards were fine. She couldn't stand on the higher ground right now since it was indeed her bodyguards who tried to attack without knowing the situation but at the same time, she couldn't blame them either. They were also under a lot of pressure since her last accident. They couldn't afford another mistake at a time like this.
Knowing that Raelle didn't say anything. She watched Ru walking over to her.
"Did you touch that?" asked Ru as he pointed at the flower that Raelle was interested in.
"Is it private property? I didn't know, I'm sorry," Raelle accepted her mistake without trying to shirk any responsibility. "Also, I apologize for my bodyguards' rude behavior. They had been on edge lately."
Ru waved off his hand and said, "I don't need all that. I just want to know whether you touched it or not. It's an important question."
Raelle replied, "I think I didn't."
"You think?" Ru asked in disbelief.
"I stopped when I heard your voice but when my bodyguards came, I moved abruptly. At that moment, my hand did touch something but I'm not certain if it was that flower or not. Why is that question important though?"
Ru was silent for a moment as this young master closely inspected Raelle's face.
"It's rude to stare at people," reminded Raelle. Even though she could tell there wasn't any frivolousness or curiosity in those green orbs. She still didn't understand what was the other person looking for exactly.

"Oh, This young master is willing to apologize for being so presumptuous. However, if I don't stare, I'll have to ask you to let me check your pulse. Wouldn't that be even more presumptuous of me?"
Raelle blinked and didn't respond for a moment. "What's going on?"
"That flower is dangerous," said young master Ru. "It's poisonous. Just a mere touch can be deadly to people." Then he looked around and frowned, "I definitely left someone to keep an eye over here. You shouldn't even be in this part of the temple."
"I was just walking aimlessly," replied Raelle. "But is it really poisonous? I have never seen this flower before. It looks very interesting."
Ru was silent again with a thoughtful expression. Perhaps finding the genuine interest in the woman's eyes before her, Ru decided to share.
"Of course, you haven't. It took me 2 years to cultivate this baby," said young master Ru. "Only this tough little guy survived after endless torture. This is called Flame Ghost. Now, you must be wondering what's up with that name, right? The ghost part refers to the fact that its petals become almost transparent under the sun. But under the moon, they give off a faint bluish glow and that's why the flame part is added to the name."
"Sounds interesting," said Raelle. "But if it's poisonous, why are you cultivating it?"
"This young master doesn't have to answer that question."
"I'll let you take my pulse to be certain whether I'm poisoned or not," replied Ralele.
Ru's smirk was even more prominent, "Even if you're poisoned, it doesn't concern me. Why do you think you hold the bargaining chip here?"
"Because you don't want an innocent person to get hurt because of your carelessness," said Raelle with certainty. In fact, she wasn't certain. She only assumed it because Ru tried to stop her from touching it earlier.
But it seemed she was right. As Ru rubbed his nose and said, "Although the petals are poisonous, the stem holds life-saving properties. In fact, the whole plant is a treasure that had been extinct for far too long. It took me so much research to get it to live. And this baby is precious and delicate. Very picky as well. For some reason, it likes the soil here. I can't grow it anywhere else." Of course, he didn't go into further details but this much was enough for Raelle for now.
"So, that's how it is," said Raelle.
"Now, can I take your pulse," asked young master Ru. "Any delay won't be good for your health."
Raelle hesitated because even though she said it earlier, she obviously wasn't comfortable with a stranger touching her. Physical contact was still a big no as always. As if seeing her worries, Ru took out a silk handkerchief and said, "It's not good to touch a lady's hand. I'll use this handkerchief. Can you please bear with it?"
Raelle nodded her head and extended her wrist over. Ru placed the handkerchief on her wrist and placed three fingers on her wrist lightly to take the pulse. Ru's eyes closed for a whole minute before they opened and he looked at Raelle.
"Is everything okay?"
