Yin Xiu(yelling) - Stop! Stop!
Hearing that voice, all of them stopped and turned back.
Ting Hao - What happened, Yin Xiu?
Yin Xiu - Aren't you guys going to stay here?
Hearing that, Chang An was taken aback as if he remembered something horrible. He was suddenly sweating and Ting Yi saw that she hold his hand.
Ting Yi - I am going out. Chang An, please come with me.
Then both Chang An and Ting Yi came out of the Feng Yun Hall. Ting Yi did not ask any questions to Chang An. She kept silent and just observed Chang An's behaviour. At that very moment, Elder Chen came out. As he saw Chang An, he went towards him. Ting Yi didn't know who he was because she was just a normal student in Feng Yun hall. Only the drillmaster and the top students knew about him and the other elders. She did saw Elder Chen coming out of Feng Yun before when she was a student here but no one told her who he was.
Elder Chen(merrily) - Chang An!
Chang An(surprised) - Elder Chen!
Both of them giggled and hugged each other. Ting Yi was a little confused because she thinks that Chang An hates everyone who is related to Feng Yun hall and Elder Chen came out of Feng Yun hall only.
Chang An - How are you, Elder Chen?
Elder Chen - I am fine, how are you, young man?
Chang An(with a smile) - I am happy.
Then suddenly, Ting Yi pulls Chang An's shirt a little from his back. As Chang An turned back she raised her eyebrows as she was asking him who Elder Chen is.
Chang An - Let me introduce you to him, Ting Yi. He is Elder Chen, the founder of Feng Yun Hall, the former Yuan Wu Dao champion and father of Chen Zhou.
Ting Yi had a shocked and confused reaction on her face after hearing that Elder Chen is Chen Zhou's father and knowing that Chang An still has a good relationship with him.
Ting Yi - Hello, Elder Chen.
Elder Chen - Hello, Ting Yi.
Chang An - Elder Chen, she is Ting Hao's sister.
Elder Chen - I know that, Chang An.
Chang An - Yeah, obviously you know that.
Then suddenly, Elder Chen's expression changed. His expression was showing his guilt.
Elder Chen - Chang An, can we talk... alone?
Chang An - Yeah, sure. You go ahead give me a minute and I will be there.
Elder Chen - Okay.
Then Elder Chen went ahead. Chang An again turned towards Ting Yi. He keeps his hand on Ting Y's arm and at that time Ting Hao, Bai Cao, Xiao Ying, Yi Feng and Fei Yu came there.
Chang An - I know many questions are running in your mind right now. I will tell you everything, but right now... I need to go. Okay?
Ting Yi nodded. Chang An smiled while looking towards Ting Yi. Then he went towards Elder Chen. Chang An left ting Yi there dumbfounded. Ting Hao was dumbfounded too. They went towards Ting Yi.
Xiao Ying - Senior Ting Yi, what happened? Why do you look so confused?
Ting Yi - Don't Chang An hate everyone who is related to Feng Yun?
Bai Cao - I guess he does.
Xiao Ying - Yeah.
Ting Yi - Then how can he have such a great bonding with the founder of Feng Yun Hall?
Ting Hao - Who are you talking about? Elder Chen?
Ting Yi - Obviously. Isn't he the only founder of Feng Yun Hall?
Ting Hao - He is.
Bai Cao - I think we should not get any ideas now. He said that he will tell us everything, then let's wait for him.
Ting Yi - By the way, how did you guys handle Yin Xiu?
On the other side, Chang An and Elder Chen were walking. Elder Chen still had that guilty look on his face and Chang An noticed it.
Chang An - Elder Chen, let's sit down. You have grown old. If you will walk like this then your legs will start paining.
Elder Chen - What do you mean? I am not old, okay? And my legs are not even paining. Understood?
Chang An giggled
Chang An - Understood, but let's sit. My legs are paining and you know that my leg's condition is not very good.
Elder Chen - Okay.
Then again, Elder Chen had that guilty look on his face. they both sat on a bench.
Chang An - Elder Chen, what did you wanted to talk to me?
Elder Chen - Do you remember everything what happened to you in childhood after coming to Feng Yun Hall and before coming to Feng Yun Hall too?
Chang An - Yeah. I remember.
Elder Chen - It must be horrifying.
Chang An giggled again
Chang An - It is.
Elder Chen - You must be criticising me. Right?
Chang An - No. Whatever happened with me was not done by you. it was done by your brother.
Elder Chen - But I should have stopped him. Because of him, you lost everything, including your leg. If he wouldn't have just picked you up, then all this would never have happened.
Chang An - No, Elder Chen. I was not just picked. There is more into it.
Elder Chen - What do you mean?
Chang An - Actually, I see some nightmares. I remember that I used to see those nightmares often before they erased all my past memory. But now when I have regained my memory. I again started seeing those nightmares.
Elder Chen - What are those nightmares?
Chang An - Actually...
Before Chang An could finish, Yin Xiu came there.
Yin Xiu - Good evening, drillmaster! Oops, ex drillmaster.
Chang An laughed.
Chang An - It's good that you remember that I am your ex drillmaster. I still know all your weaknesses. You better not provoke me.
This sentence made Yin Xiu's mouth shut. Then Chang An left from there. After few minutes, he reached near the car. There he saw everyone.
Chang An - Shall we go now?
Ting Hao - Of course.
Then they all sat in the car and the driver started driving the car.
Chang An - By the way, guys, how did you manage to escape Yin Xiu?
Ting Yi - I asked the same question, but my brother was not willing to tell. I think he was waiting for you, Chang An.
Chang An(teasing) - Oh really, Ting Hao! So sweet!
Ting Hao - Excuse me! There is nothing like that.
Chang An(still teasing) - Aww! He is shy.
Ting Hao - Shut up, Chang An.
And everyone starts laughing including Ting Hao.
Chang An - Okay, jokes apart, guys. How did you manage to do that? I really want to know about it.
Ting Hao - Actually, we didn't do anything. It happened because Yi Feng was with us.
Chang An - How, Yi Feng?
Yi Feng - Benefits of having bodyguards who are like friends, you know?
Chang An - Yeah. Life of rich people with a kind heart.
Yi Feng giggles.
Yi Feng- What happened was after you both went out...
Flashback -
Yin Xiu - Why did they go out?
Ting Hao - How would we know that, Yin Xiu?
Then suddenly, one of Yi Feng's bodyguards came there.
Bodyguard - Sir, the car is ready. You all can go now.
Yin Xiu - Excuse me, Mr Muscle Man. They are going to stay here.
Yi Feng's bodyguard looked at Yi Feng. Yi Feng moves his head left and right.
Bodyguard - Sorry, Miss. I only take orders from my sir.
Yi Feng - I think we can stay here, but for that, you all will have to stay out of Feng Yun Hall. Right, Xiao Ba?
*Note - Xiao Ba is Yi Feng's main bodyguard who always stays with him. Xiao Ba is Yi Feng's friend too.
Xiao Ba - Yeah.
Yin Xiu - But why?
Xiao Ba - For sir and his fellow friends' safety. And there are many bodyguards out there. We also need rooms to sleep in and I think the rooms here are enough for us. Right, sir?
Yi Feng - Yeah, I guess.
Yin Xiu - I think, it will be better if you guys stay where you guys are staying.
Yi Feng - Yeah. Let's go, Xiao Ba.
Flashback over
Chang An - Well done, Xiao Ba. You have saved us.
Xiao Ba - You are most welcome, sir. This is my job.
Then after half an hour, they reached Yi Feng's hotel. They all went to their respective rooms to freshen up. After some time, they all came out and went towards the dining hall. The food was already served there. They all started eating it.
While eating.
Ting Yi - Can we play something after we finish eating?
Chang An - What will we play?
Ting Hao - Truth and Dare.
Chang An - Okay.
Bai Cao - Good idea.
Ting Yi - Yeah.
Xiao Ying - Be aware of me, everyone. I am going to ask you many questions which can be hard to answer.
Yi Feng - Is it an open challenge?
Xiao Ying - Obviously. If it's not an open challenge, so is it a closed challenge? Even though it is a closed challenge, it is still a challenge, isn't it?
Yi Feng - She will never understand what I want to say.
Xiao Ying - You are irritating.
Yi Feng - And you are more irritating.
Xiao Ying - I hate you.
Yi Feng - I hate you more.
After some time, they finished eating and it was time to play the truth and dare.
Ting Hao - I am going to spin the bottle.
Then Ting Hao spins the bottle. After a few spins, it stops.
