HATEFUL RIVAL'S REBIRTH - 仇恨对手的重生

CHAPTER 31 - SHIZUN'S PRESENT

  When TianXia exited the building he huffed and puffed, shaking his limbs in attempt to shake of  the events that just happened. He hugged his quivering arms and glared at the building with eyes red on the sides as if on the verge of crying as the results of being bullied. TianXia slapped his face and walked off with a humph, thinking to walk off the...aroused state his body was in instead of going back in. Maybe by the time he came back the others would be sleeping. And so he headed off back into the bustling town in search of a night market to browse.

  The second TianXia left the room, JingHe was back to his original self, with a stumble he fell onto his bed. He looked at his hands as if they weren't his own and muttered, "What the hell was that..." JingHe looked around dubiously before whispering, almost unwillingly, "Is...someone there?... possessing my thoughts?" JingHe closed his eyes to concentrate and let the flow of Qi pass through his veins all over looking for an intrusion, anything that wasn't supposed to be there. Yet he found nothing, but when he opened his eyes, the familiar voice spoke out before fading.

  "You will remember soon, help him remember too..."

  JingHe frowned, he sat up and began thinking carefully, this time...and then that time in the dream realm, when he saw an older version of himself and TianXia... there was definitely something going on. JingHe stood and left his room and stalked straight to LiGe.

  LiGe with an ashen face waved his hands, "He went out I had nothing to do with it."

  "Take my pulse, see if you can find any irregularities in me." JingHe demanded.

  "Hah?"

  "Just do it." 

  LiGe cautiously took the pulse and then concentrated seriously, after a minute or two he put down JingHe's hand. "No irregularities... other than..."

  JingHe thought he'd found something, "What?"

  LiGe coughed awkwardly  before giving JingHe a pointed look downwards. Following his gaze JingHe also looked down, a blush immediately lighting up his face. A'Qian had popped his head behind LiGe and "tched" before walking off. XiaoSan commented, "you are a bunch of weird guys I'll give ya that. So where will I be sleeping?"

  LiGe pointed to the room at the end. 

  ...

  "I'm gonna assume you pointed?" XiaoSan sighed heavily, "Must I wear a sign on my neck the says 'I'm blind' around you people?"

  LiGe facepalmed before apologising and leading the boy to his room.

  Without another word JingHe strode back to his room and slammed the door.

  LiGe scratched his head, "I gotta agree with that kid... you are a bunch of weirdoes..."

  A'Qian Shot glaring daggers at LiGe before smiling, "Oh don't worry that you're not part of us weirdoes, you belong in your own category, an idiot!" With that he took the room at the other end and slammed his door.

  LiGe punched the air in A'Qian's direction before running in to the remaining room.

  TianXia walked down the brightly lit streets, hands behind his back as he admired the handcrafts being sold. When he arrived he remembered What Kai ShiZun had asked of him, a gift that would surprise. TianXia found this difficult to the extreme as he passed each table, the crafts were beautiful yes but they won't exactly... surprise someone.

  Crestfallen, TianXia walked on until he reached an young vendors table. The woman was covered by veils and her table was small, but the contents of her table were rather interesting. She looked up and saw TianXia's curious gaze, "Young man has a good eye to stop at my table." She said with a voice like small bells leaving a pleasant feeling to the ears.
