Shen Hua and Yami are on the second floor roof. After searching the stairs for a few minutes they found it, it is a spiral staircase, is in the southwest corner of the castle with two guards at the entrance. As they walked they found several guards patrolling.
"Let's do what? Same as before?", Yami asked in a very low voice again. Shen Hua was hanging in the corner of a corridor that ends in the corridor where the guards in front of the stairs look.
"We couldn't get, with them looking at us.", Shen Hua begin thought, 'Killing them may be the best solution, distraction would hardly work and we risk being seen, but if I kill them how will I hide them bodies? I can try to get straight through without being seen, but it would be a high risk.', While thinking Shen Hua heard a noise.
"What are you-", the guard stopped talking and Shen Hua heard a sound of flesh being torn. After hearing this Shen Hua looked over to see what was going on. The two guards were killed with one heart pierced and one with a cut in the throat, a girl with a knife in her hand is standing between the bodies.
"Get back here now!", Shen Hua heard a shout and footsteps from guards. The girl looked toward the voices coming from a corridor that ends up on the stairs too, then started running down the stairs.
"Stoooop!", the guards arrived and started down the stairs as well. Shen Hua watched the situation unfold.
'Luck is also a skill.' Using his lightning power, he jumped towards the stairs up the stairs and started up as fast as possible. At the door to the third floor two other guards are watching.
Shen Hua formed sandblades on his wrists and killed both guards. A guard patrolling saw Shen Hua killing his friends, he tried to scream but failed. Feeling something around your neck, he raised his hand to touch it. When he looked at his hand was full of blood. He looked ahead and only saw his dead friends on the floor, without even the shadow of the killer.
Shen Hua killed the guard quickly jumped to the ceiling and started running northwest with Yami on his back. Passing several corridors Shen Hua finally saw the northwest corner in the distance, there was nothing. 'So it must be inside the room in the northwest corner, it must be the library, how original.'
After completing his theory Shen Hua ran trying to find the library door. On this floor Shen Hua found far fewer guards patrolling. 'Must be to prevent information theft, few reliable guards are better than many who may steal. Besides, no one expects someone to invade the castle and make it that far.'
Shen Hua found a door with a guard in front when he turned the northwest corner. 'This time it will give.', Shen Hua completely pinned himself to the wall and began to walk like a spider toward the guard. This time the guard didn't look down the corridor Shen Hua came from, so he didn't notice him crawling across the roof.
Shen Hua went through the roof and went to the wall until it was above the door. Running the sand through his body Shen Hua gathered all in his right forearm, then began to form a thin strand of sand, he brought it close to the guard's hand, formed a small thorn and pierced the guard's hand.
The guard felt the sting and waved his hand thinking it was an insect, without looking away from the corridor. A few seconds later he began to sweat, to hear a ringing in his ear, and his eyes began to burn, he leaned against the wall for support and closed his eyes for a few minutes. Then he felt better and returned to his post.
The poison in Shen Hua's sand can cause confusion and partial loss of senses, for a few minutes then the target returns to normal, but those moments were enough for Shen Hua and Yami to enter the library.
"How many poisons do you have?" After confirming that the library was empty Yami asked.
"My blood, saliva, sand, and nails have a kind of poison each. What I used on the prince was one I did before leaving Raven.", Shen Hua didn't mind talking, he had no reason to think that Yami would become a threat.
"Aren't you afraid of me using this against you?", Yami didn't expect Shen Hua to respond, after all a cultivator doesn't say that kind of information.
"No, I'm sure you won't do that. After all I'm your big brother." Shen Hua started to go to the northwest corner looking for the painting.
"No, you're not.", Yami said without paying attention while following Shen Hua.
"You're right. I will only be when you marry Shen Ruo.", Shen Hua jokingly said.
"Hum, dream!", Yami shrugged and went in front of Shen Hua.
"Only one person dreams about it and it's not me.", Shen Hua said laughing a little, 'Good luck Shen Ruo, you'll need it.', he followed Yami, who didn't care what he said, to the corner of the library where they saw the painting the prince spoke.

"Atchoo!", Shen Ruo and Lu Yin are sitting in a restaurant near the palace.
"Are you all right? Are you sick?", Lu Yin told Shen Ruo that sneezed.
"No, it must be the Big Brother saying something about me.", Shen Ruo had the impression that Shen Hua was saying something about him that he shouldn't.
"Must be telling Yami you like her," Lu Yin said with a smile.
"Yes," Shen Ruo wasn't paying attention to what Lu Yin was saying and ended up answering without thinking.
Lu Yin was surprised by Shen Ruo's reply and continued, "So, I was right, you like her."
"What did you say? Sorry, I was
wondering if the two okay and I didn't hear you.", Shen Ruo heard Lu Yin's last sentence and remembered what he said before, but preferred to pretend not to remember.
"Nothing. Good luck." Lu Yin decided not to speak and looked at the castle.
'Thank you.' Shen Ruo pretended not to understand and looked at the castle as well, struggling not to blush.
