Let Sky judge my love and promise to you is real.
Li Jun Jie
***
I don't understand why Cheng Sheng Lin is always disturbing me. What grudge he has towards me? Have I ever slept with his woman before? He always pops up in front of me and this time he brings his army to help Ming Yue. Why does he have to interfere with my matters?
Today seems all clear like crystal glass. Ming Yue is hating me and my family. Even though I don't know what's the problem exactly, her gaze makes me understand. She doesn't have anything for me except hate and resentment and I have to forget her. This fact makes my heart full of ache.
I take a deep breath before I have to fight them all. I have to be stronger even though I am so weak with this body . I don't care. I have to fight them back. Cheng Sheng Lin's army surrounds me as they want to catch me alive. I never let him get what he wants. I don't want to die here!
"Li Jun Jie! Surrender now!" He shouts at me while pointing his sword to me.
"Cheng Sheng Lin! Tell me now! What crime did I commit?! Did I kill someone?!"
"Li Jun Jie!!! Surrender now!!!"
"I don't want! I will investigate my father's case and no one can stop me!"
"I will make you stop!"
He attacks me. I have to admit his martial art is higher than me but … still I don't want to surrender to him. I have to make my family's name clear. My father never did rebellion. I don't believe my father did that sin. Cheng Sheng Lin kicked my chest but I don't want to give up until he slash my upper right arm with his sword. This time I fall.
Soon…
Cheng Sheng Lin put his sword on my neck but I kicked his leg and made him step backward. He looks enraged by my move. This body is weaker than I think. Cheng Sheng Lin can kill me but he doesn't want.
"Li Jun Jie, surrender now!"
"Never!"
"Li Jun Jie! I hate you!"
I just feel a scorching sensation from my left upper back. This pain is just nothing compared than what I see. Jia Ming Yue is piercing her sword from my back.
"Jia Ming Yue. Do you really want me to die?"
I turned around and saw her. She still holds her sword and penetrates it deeper into my flesh. This kind of pain… I have never felt this way before. This time I realized. The pain in my heart is more acute than this wound from her sword.
I don't know what I feel. I am so disappointed in her and myself.
"Jia Ming Yue!"
"I wish you would die!"
She pulled her sword from my flesh on my stomach. The pain is real.
Arrrrghhhhh!!!!!!
Blood is flowing from my wound and makes my body become wet and putrid. I feel the pain but I don't know why I still give her my smile? If I die, can it appease her resentment towards my family?
"Jia Ming Yue, I love you…" I said gently. I really love her.
"Just go to hell!"
She kicked my chest. My body fell into the river. I can't breath and I see only water trapped me going under. Am I going to die?
I don't want to die!
Yu Wen is still waiting for me!
I can't die here!
I have to survive!
I have to move my body if I don't want to die here! Yes! I am Li Jun Jie. I don't want to surrender. I have to escape. Even though I can't breathe, I still want to give my best effort to survive. Perhaps I will die but not now!
"Catch him! I don't want him to escape!" Cheng Sheng Lin shouted. Even though I am under water, I can hear his voice clearly.
I keep moving away from them. I almost die because I cannot breath until a hand holds me. Yu Wen? Is he here? Is he coming? I cannot speak but I am so grateful. Yu Wen save me. We reach another side of the riverbank.
"Young Master, we have to come back now."
"Uhm…"
I cannot speak but I know we have to go before his army reaches here. Yu Wen brings me on his back. To be honest, I don't want Yu Wen to get in trouble instead he is coming to save me now. I wish they didn't see his face.
"Yu Wen, why do you have to come?" I asked slowly as my energy was almost running out.
"I will never let Ming Yue kill you."
His answer made my heart so hurt but happy at the same time. In this world, Yu Wen is only my family. I will protect him no matter what.
"Yu Wen, thank you."
"Young Master, please don't say it about this anymore."
"Yu Wen, I will protect you no matter what."
"Alright but now we have to reach the Huang manor."
We come back to Huang manor and make them startled with my condition.
"How come this can be happened?!" Xiao Ran said.
Yu Wen helped me to sit on the bed. The wound from Ming Yue's sword is still bleeding.
"Leave me with the Young Master." Xiao Ran said. This time she looks so scary. No one speaks even Yu Wen leaves me with her.
In this chamber only both of us remain. Xiao Ran untied my layer. I don't care if my upper body is exposed in front of her. She points to the wood table beside the bed then a bucket of water and towel appears.
"Xiao Ran, are you really a witch?" I asked but she doesn't response. She grabbed the towel and started to clean my wound. Even though I can't see her expression, I know that she startled due to something in my body. " Xiao Ran, tell me what happened?"
"The lotus flowers on your back almost blossom."
"What does that mean?"
"Your time as Li Jun Jie almost …"
"This body will die soon?"
"Uhm…"
"I hope I can investigate my father's case before I die.", I take a deep breath as Xiao Ran cleans my bleeding wound on my back. " Tell me…do you know when this body will die?"
"No. The body will die when you give up this body and the spell will make the way to make you give your life."
"Why?"
"Because your real body is Huang Jing Er and this time for Huang Jing Er to come alive."
"But this is me. I am a man."
Xiao Ran took a long deep breath before looking at me again.
"Young Master, you have to accept that you are Huang Jing Er. The hairpin is the evidence and symbol. Since you the hairpin becomes your possession so the hairpin will also make you meet with the chosen one."
"What is the chosen one?"
"Young Master. I serve Young Master because you are Huang Jing Er. Huang Jing Er belongs to Huang Manor and as Young Master is still in Li Jun Jie's body. I can't tell you a lot."
"Then I will give you the hairpin back! I don't want that hairpin!"
I look for the hairpin on my bleeding clothes beside me but I find nothing. Wait… I always bring the hairpin wherever I go but now where is the hairpin?
"I'd lost the hairpin but I promise to give you the hairpin back! I don't want to be Huang Jing Er."
"Young Master, don't think about the hairpin."
"How? The hairpin and the spell is like a curse to me?! Don't you understand?! I am a man! I am not a woman?! How come you asked me to accept this cruel fate?! I am Li Jun Jie not Huang Jing Er!"
