Sheri never knew that she was being observed in a distance and had always been noticed by Zi Xiang Master. But if she would know about it, she would definitely hit herself. Her self-esteem would drop low again since she had always had a problem with her ability to feeling everything around her. Even the presence of a mouse was impossible for her. She cannot even sense it. While everyone from the sect can sense everything that is happening in their surroundings, she would feel useless plus an idiot love-struck fool. For Sheri, this could be her hardest mission because the owner of the body was
A. Idiot,
B. Stupid,
C. nonsense,
D. Fool
While thinking about the reason the Master sect was interested in her, Sheri was awakened from her daze when he spoke.
"Alright, It's settled. You need to stay here. Since you wanted to get out of the sect, so badly then I will help you." Zi Xiang announced.
"Oh goodness..." Sheri rolled her eyes. "Zi Xiang."
"I like the way you say my name." Zi Xiang said while smiling at Sheri. He moved fast and held her on his lap easily despite her protest. Sheri couldn't match his strength.
"Zi Xiang release me this instant! You have no right to hold me captive neither you have no right to tell me what to do. Release me! Your reputation will be ruined anyway. Why not go to your beloved Xi Feng" Sheri was angry.
Zi Xiang chuckled and grabbed her chin gently, "are you jealous?"
"Can you stop grabbing my chin. It is very annoying. This is not a Korean drama or Chinese, whatever it is. Sheesh!" Sheri furiously glared at him.
"And stop with your illusion and release me!" Sheri became angry by his shameless actions. She tried to suppress it and tried to calm herself.
"What if I said no?" Zi Xiang was unaffected by her retorts and glares. Instead, he bent his head and sniffed her neck. Placing her long hair on the other side of her neck, he gently naped her neck.
"What the F***."
"Your smell is really addictive." Zi Xiang continued with his shameless actions.
"System, it's either you help me now or I will make sure to complain to your supervisor!" Sheri complained of her mind.
Still, no one answered. Sheri thought of so many ways to get out of his embrace. Zi Xiang then started to nibble her ears tracing down her neck with his kiss but was abruptly stopped by a sudden knock on the door.
Sheri heard the female lead on the door.
"Master are you there.?" Xi Feng's voice was heard outside with a knock. Sheri was relieved as Zi Xiang stopped with what he's doing.
"You better be obedient and don't even think of running." Zi Xiang said and made a barrier surrounding her. The barrier is to cover up her presence and let her stay inside the room.
Sheri didn't say anything but had already formulated a plan.
Again at a fast pace, Sheri traveled on a horse until she arrived in a Capital. It was a long 3-day travel. She stopped between towns and rested for just a few hours and kept on changing horses.
With all the trouble of traveling, she was happy to meet a lot of people. Since she didn't want to be exposed to who she was, she dressed up like an ordinary merchant. She decided to settle on an inn and started to look for a house to buy. After a month, she settled in the capital of Huan Dynasty.
On the light sect.
An old man and a young man were playing a game of chess.
"So did you already find where Ah Mi lives?" The old man asked the young man.
The young man sighed. "No, but I am not in a hurry." The young man was Zi Xiang. He answered and moved one of his white piece.
He remembers the time he wakes up after Sheri threw the sleeping bomb. He slowly shakes his head and looks at his surroundings. He remembers Ah Mi. He runs outside and saw it was already night. He speeds and tries to feel her presence if she's nearby. But he cannot feel her presence. It took him the whole night looking for her. He was awake when his grandpa spoke.
"If you have already told her about your feelings, this will not happen." The old man lightly said.
"Checkmate" The old man further said and smiled looking at the face of his son.
Zi Xiang didn't respond.
Since childhood, he treated Ah Mi like a sister. He never had any feelings for her. And because he was the Master of the sect, he had to implement whatever punishment that was due to her. He did find that Xi Feng really matched him, but he didn't know why he's feeling changed the moment Ah Mi stopped looking for him. She even ran away from him. When he smelled her, he found it odd that it made his heart pound so fast. When he kissed her, his world stood still. It felt like that kiss was so familiar. A strange feeling that he couldn't describe. He was racking his brain where all those feelings coming from, but he couldn't find an explanation. One thing he was happy about is. He leaves something in her that no one can remove. No matter where she goes he will always find her.
