A gentle wind swept across the face, teasing all the calm that Wang Tian Sin felt. Opening his eyes slowly, a hand flanked his stomach from the side. Turning his gaze down, a pale white robe clad in jade-brushed hands clung to his stomach. Wang Tian Sin smiled faintly as he found Ji Hua sleeping beside him, making his right hand a pillow.
A ignorant idea flashed through Wang Tian Sin's mind. The man held back his laughter, "argh!"
Wang Tian Sin groaned while trying to pull his right hand. Ji Hua flinched and widened his eyes when he heard Wang Tian Sin's groan. His body was shaken as the hand he made the pillow was forcefully pulled.
"Tian Sin!" yelled Ji Hua in panic. The girl pulled Wang Tian Sin's right hand, rolled up the sleeves of her robe and examined it, afraid that a wound might be missed from her sight.
Wang Tian Sin looked at Ji Hua's adorable worried face, unable to hold back his laughter.
Plaque!
A loud slap landed on Wang Tian Sin's chest.
"Felt!"
An irritated Ji Hua half-dead got off the bed and tidied up her appearance. Wang Tian Sin was still unable to stop his laughter when he saw the girl's annoyance.
"Ohuk!" Wang Tian Sin coughed and started to feel his throat was not good. The young man only remembered that last night he had inhaled a little poison powder but had not had time to drink the antidote or clean it with deep energy.
"Felt!"
Wang Tian Sin's cough never subsided until blood spots came out of his mouth. Ji Hua who was still upset at Wang Tian Sin threw a small bottle. "Drink it, there shouldn't be a problem."
Without confirming it in advance, Wang Tian Sin immediately gulped down the liquid in the bottle. A warm feeling begins to spread from the mouth to the stomach once the liquid flows.
"Thank you," said Wang Tian Sin.
"No problem. It's just a low-level bidder."
Wang Tian Sin felt astonished, why did Ji Hua give the potion when he came to his senses, not when Wang Tian Sin was fainting. However, whatever the reason, Wang Tian Sin remained grateful.
Ji Hua seemed to have stopped getting upset, the girl grabbed a warm towel and gave it to Wang Tian Sin. Wang Tian Sin accepted it and smiled faintly.
"What's Mr Zhen's condition?" w.a.n.g Tian Sin asked as he wiped his face with a warm towel.
"He just needs a break. It might be a month or two before he recovers," Ji Hua replied. The girl took the finished warm towel from Wang Tian Sin's hand. "I have to get home soon. Uncle will look for me if you leave too long."
Wang Tian Sin withdrew Ji Hua's hand, carrying the girl in his lap until the faces of the two of them almost stuck. Both of them could feel each other's breath, making each of them's hearts pound faster.
"Can we meet again?" lirih Wang Tian Sin's.
Ji Hua nodded slowly, "of course. Although we are a murderous organization, we do not reject guests who have no ill intentions. Come to Satan's headquarters if you miss me ... Tian Sin gege."
Wang Tian Sin nodded slowly, both of his hands grabbed Ji Hua's right hand and grasped it tightly, like unwilling to part with the girl.
"When did you go?" wang Tian Sin asked heavily.
Before answering Wang Tian Sin's question, Ji Hua let out a long sigh, as if the girl felt what Wang Tian Sin was feeling. "I'll go right now. Before any members of the Hand of Satan enter the city, I must leave immediately."
"Then let me take you out of town" Wang Tian Sin said. Ji Hua shook his head slowly, rejecting Wang Tian Sin's offer because it would endanger the young man's life.
"Why?" wang Tian Sin asked for clarity.
"I'm afraid they'll harm you" Ji Hua said.
Wang Tian Sin clucked in annoyance before putting on a sullen expression on his face, "you doubt me? Are they stronger than your father or uncle? That strong as they are?"
"It's not so."
"Then? If they're not as strong as your father or uncle, then I can protect myself if needed."
"Well, I can't refuse if I want to." Ji Hua resigned and accepted Wang Tian Sin's offer.
Wang Tian Sin picked up the sword he had been hiding in the study room, while Ji Hua also carried the sword and hung it around his waist.
"I'll be there later, Uncle Jiu. One more ... later tonight I will eat out, do not take dinner," said Wang Tian Sin.
Jiu Tang nodded in understanding then invited Wang Tian Sin to continue on the journey.
***
Red peach blossoms bloomed on the road leading to the southern gate of Xiang city. Some of the beautiful petals danced in the air, apart from the crown because of the wind.
Ji Hua stopped under the peach tree, enjoying the mortal beauty for a moment, before turning her head and finding Wang Tian Sin was picking up some red peach petals that had fallen into her hair.
Gently Wang Tian Sin opened his palm, revealing the delicate petals of the detached red peach.
Ji Hua smiled and took one petal from Wang Tian Sin's hand, grasping it with her eyes closed and a sweet smile on her lips, as if grasping something so meaningful to her. A few moments passed, reopening his palm that grasped the flower petals, Ji Hua gently blew it until the flower petals flew back.
"Very beautiful" said sweet Ji Hua. Wang Tian Sin nodded slowly.
Ji Hua looked at Wang Tian Sin with a faint look, then turned his gaze to the city gate, "it's time I leave, Tian Sin."
"Ji Hua .." said Wang Tian Sin softly, "Be careful," he continued.
Ji Hua nodded and turned around, leaving Wang Tian Sin who was looking at him sadly.
As soon as Ji Hua exited Xiang city, Wang Tian Sin turned around and used the dragon king's steps towards Zhen Ping residence. It didn't take long for Wang Tian Sin to reach Zhen Ping's residence. Two residence guards intercepted Wang Tian Sin and requested a visitation card.
"I haven't written a visit request yet, but Mr. Zhen invited me. Just say, Tian Sin came to meet Mr. Zhen's invitation," Wang Tian Sin said confidently.
The two guards immediately let Wang Tian Sin in after learning of his identity. It seemed that Zhen Ping had already reported his arrival to the guards.
A spacious residence, once entered will be treated to a garden of peaches that are blooming. A servant led Wang Tian Sin towards the inner griya, where Zhen Ping was.
Zhen Ping who was sitting in the main hall immediately stood up and welcomed his special guest. His face was still a little pale, his breathing was also slightly weak from the poison that injured his lungs.
"Tian Sin greeted Mr. Zhen" said Wang Tian Sin as he bowed with two arms covered.
Zhen Ping held onto Wang Tian Sin's two arms, asking the young man to immediately stand up, "don't be much customary if it's just the two of them."
"Mr Zhen, you are still so weak, why not use the time to recuperate instead inviting me here?" wang Tian Sin asked.
"I'm fine, Mr. Tian."
Wang Tian Sin felt strange when Zhen Ping called him Master. If people used to call Wang Tian Sin as Young Master he did not protest, then he could not keep quiet when Zhen Ping called him Master.
"Master Zhen, you can just call me Tian Sin, after all, you are a senior. Last night's fight was just a coincidence and luck."
"Allah ... Tian Sin's. I called you here to discuss someone."
"Someone?"
Zhen Ping nodded, "never heard of the Moon of water and the golden crow?"
"You mean the water moon and the golden crow Xin Dong?"
Zhen Ping nodded his head again, as Zhen Ping opened his mouth about to say something, a loud sound came from the outer griya.
"Zhen Ping's! Get out of here right now!"
Zhen Ping's face grew even paler when he heard the cry, as if a grim reaper was in sight.
