It's easy for Lory to see the hidden hatred behind Tang Mei Yi eyes, she keeps mentioning the past because she wanted to show her she had known Zhao Li Xin long before Lory, she also shows how much she can useful for Zhao Li Xin and she used Zhao Li Xin master to put pressure on her.

This trick can be work if Zhao Li Xin has a gentle and caring nature but fortunately his not.

And from Zhao Li Xin answer he is not someone who can be bend by anyone wishes, although he has bent to her wishes all the time but that show how much he cares for her so Lory didn't worry too much and if someday Zhao Li Xin heart waver she wouldn't insist to stay with her, she still a Lucient heir she will not degrade herself even for love but still she won't back down without a fight.

Lory aware that Zhao Li Xin treated Tang Mei Yi milder compare to other women who try to court him, is quite vexing her Lory glance at Zhao Li Xin handsome face, she decide at least she needs to make things clear first.

"May care to explained?" Lory smiles kindly at Zhao Li Xin but somehow, he feels immense threat behind that smiles for some reason he becomes nervous.

"Oh….cough!" he make awkward coughing sounds but that only make Lory smiles become scarier Zhao Li Xin unconsciously gulp "That is Tang Mei Yi, his master and my master is an old friend so I know her since I was a kid, that's all" he convinces her with strong looks.

"Is that so…?" Lory's sweet smiles still not waver but that only make him edgy then he wonder why he has sudden urged to run?

"She said your master might not approve me, is it because between you and her master already have a certain agreement?" Lory asked casually but Zhao Li Xin can see hidden dagger inside her words if he said wrong things she would slash him without mercy.

"NO! there's no such thing's, even if there is I will never approve it!!" he said strongly.

Lory eyes glint with murderous intent "So, there is such thing..."

He feel someone stab him right to his heart, he becomes tongue-tied he knew his master like Tang Mei Yi very much and always give him a hint to marry her but Zhao Li Xin ignores his Master wishes, but he never strongly rejected her because he wanted to give his master some face no matter what he owed a lot to his master who once teaches him how to cultivated, Zhao Li Xin is overbearing man but he still knows how to repay people kindness but that's doesn't mean he would let him control what he can and can't do.

Lory didn't probe further she more or less can guess the big picture but she still annoyed by it so she gives Zhao Li Xin the legendary 'silent treatment' she ignores him while walking beside him, her cold gesture towards him make him anxious but he not dare to irk her further so he followed her like a puppy, deep down he cursed Tang Mei Yi and her eighteen ancestor.

At the end they never seen the puppet show but instead back to the new residence, it's only a small villa but with big garden because he rarely comes to Sun Jan city, when they return he still follow Lory but suddenly stop when Lory closed her bedroom door in front of him, the door almost hit his face.

This the first time she treated him this way so he was shocked and slightly panic. The matter becomes worse when Lory's room and his room are far from each other, not like the other manor this villa is quite small and didn't have many rooms. So only a few decent rooms available for them unless he wanted to put her in a much smaller room beside him.

In the past, he might dare to do so but after he knew her background he did not dare treat her like in the past, he felt he mistreated her if he selfishly put her to the room who originally for a servant and that's how their room separated by twenty steps.

Zhao Li Xin froze in front of her room he didn't know what to do? This is the first time he scared to knocked on her door. He takes a long heaved before he returns to his room, he takes a sit on arhat chair when he hears someone knocking his door he suddenly got excited he though Lory coming to his room, sadly the one who enters is Bei Li Yan.

Bei Li Yan surprised his Lord seems happy to see him but then Zhao Li Xin's mouth curved downwards his expression turns gloomy, Bei Li Yan mouth twitch can his Lord pretend to be happy to see him once a while, this subordinated feels hurt too?

"Milord" he bows courteously at Zhao Li Xin not dare to speak out his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Li Xin leans his head with his fist, he looks disappointed and very upset "Updated!"

"That man told me, his family is the one who make that red jade for a noble family in Gui Hong Continent for Qin family but too bad Qin family is disappeared fifteen years ago and every record about this family is gone, we don't know what happened but the rumor is they were infuriated someone powerful so all of their family is killed, by who we still didn't know yet"

Bei Li Yan then continue "That man said everyone who has a slight connection with that family is killed so he and his family transmigrated to this continent to hide from them, he never knew who is it because his parents never divulge the identity of the man who responsible for the Qin annihilation"

Bei Li Yan sighs then he crossed his arms in front of his chest he rub his chin while contemplating "Gui Hong is very far from our continent and we don't have our people in there so I think we need to dispatch a few of my girls to infiltrated Gui Hong continent, we can make them spy the tea house and noble house to digging what happened fifteen years ago"

Zhao Li Xin remain unfazed but that how his face normally looks so Bei Li Yan pay no heed, he continues his report "Milord today Jiang Jin Wei and Jin Hao has departed to Heavenly jade pavilion, they history would be ended by the end of this week" he said with excited smiles, he hated heavenly Jade Pavilion for they audacity to fight against them he wanted to make heavenly Jade pavilion as an example for anybody who dares raise their hands against Hei Shen Sect.

Bei Li Yan waiting for Zhao Li Xin opinion with great expectation, Zhao Li Xin take a deep breath he closes his eyes like he has absorbed all the information with his minds, his finger tapped the arhat small table in monotone sounds, Bei Li Yan wait patiently, he curious what order his Lord would give to him.

"Li Yan…," he said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Milord" he bows at Zhao Li Xin.

"Most of your Palace members are women aren't they?" he beckoned Bei Li Yan to get closed.

"True, Milord" his body lean forwards, his Lord seems so serious his curiosity increased.

"Tell me…." He looks deeply at Bei Li Yan's eyes, with a low voice.

"Yes…?" Bei Li Yan frowned, why is his Lord being so secretive?

"How to….coaxed angry women?"

"...…"

'WHAT THE F**K!!'

Lory awoke again inside the white mist, she can only sigh helplessly but at least the white mist isn't as thick as before, she realizes she's inside someone's dream but whom? She still didn't know.

The mist gradually become thinner, the slowly she sees an endless stairs in front of her every step is illuminated by white lampion, she realizes is a night time but she sees no stars or moon only pitch black, suddenly she senses something isn't right, then from upstairs she sees red liquid flowing down, tainted the grey stones stairs, Lory shift her feet from the blood then she looks something drawn her to climb the stairs.

Her heart beating faster while slowly she climb the stairs one by one and every step she takes the more bloody the stairs to become, Lory, take a deep breath, she continues to climb up suddenly something rolling down towards her, Lory immediately shift her body away from whatever it is, then he realizes it was a human corpse, a man with light green robes with red eagle embroidery on his chest sprawl lifeless with his eyes open on the cold stairs, his throat was slit until his neck almost fall of and the blood-soaked his chest, Lory's eyes bulged open it is a gruesome scene even for her.

She wanted to climb down but thick mist covers her way down, Lory lips pursed tightly someone didn't want her to left yet, she can only go up…

She had no choice other than figure it out what this dream wants to tell her, then he reaches a big double wooden gate, but the half gated already destroyed with only half door remain standing but everything is cover with blood, the stones floor cover with pool of blood, she wondered what had happened to this place.

She takes the white lampion with her then she walks pass the wrecking gate, she enters a big courtyard who is illuminated by a few stone lamp, then she sees square pond on her left and right with lotus flower floating above it, but the color of the water is tainted with deep red then she sees a dozen corpses floating on the pond like a dead leaf, they all wear the same robes like the man from below, she realizes she enter a massacre, her heart stars to race like a drum Lory unconsciously gulp.

She didn't know why she keeps walking passing all the corpses on the ground as her body move automatically, then she passes the moon gate and reach the massive courtyard then she sees more corpses in the most gruesome ways, Lory take a long deep breath she closed her eyes to calm her frantic nerves, then he hears someone crying…..

Lory knew it's a bad news when you hear crying in the situation like this but still her eyes search the source of the sounds, then she sees it a man cry with great grieves he kneeled on the ground only his swords who withstand him from falling, his white robes are soaked with red blood his disheveled hair cover his side face, the man is crying loudly while mumbling something she cannot hear.

But rather than the man Lory's eyes are fixed on the sword on that man hand, it is the same white swords she had seen before but the sword is cover with blood know and there's no holly bright light around the swords, Lory's eyes frowned deeply, he wondered what this man had done to the sword? Is he killed these men using that sword, what he had done?

Suddenly the man lifts his head, he aware someone is here with him, Lory reflex takes a step backward.

Thankfully the man didn't look scary but instead he looks innocent and seem harmless, she would believe it if only half his face didn't smear by blood splatter, he looks stunned when he sees Lory then he looks confused, he raised from the ground then walked slowly towards her.

The man looks desperate, sad and somehow hopeful, he stops in front of Lory, they exchanged glances to each other Lory can feel his deep sorrow suddenly she feels pity for him.

"Why are you so sad?" Lory's heart breaks when the man looking at him with swollen red eyes.

"It's you…." The men murmured, he suddenly held her hand "You finally here…." He burst to cry again but this time his cry didn't sound sad or desperate but instead it's sound relief.
