Chapter 43 - Escape

"What was that?", Yami asked when they heard another explosion.

"Lucky!", Shen Hua waited for the next explosion and jumped out the window when she heard her.

The noise of the explosion disguised that of the breaking window, and with all the guards running to see what happened no one noticed the window or heard the noise. As soon as he stood on the castle wall, Shen Hua used his lightning power and jumped into the garden, landing on a tree-filled section.

Shen Hua smelled a strong blood as he left the castle. 'How many people died for this smell to be so strong?'

The side on which Shen Hua and Yami left was the opposite of the sound of the explosions and the smell of blood, so there were no guards. 'No matter who is doing this slaughter I'll have to thank you later.'

Shen Hua ran carrying Yami, as he neared the wall. Shen Hua got ready to jump when a person came flying and landed on his side.

"What was that !?", Shen Hua and Yami looked at the person who came flying. Is a girl with black hair and eyes, looks ten or eleven years old, covered in blood and cuts on her body, 'It's the same girl as before.'

The girl looked at Shen Hua and

they stared at each other for a moment, until they heard the sound of the guards coming toward them. The girl got up, went to Shen Hua and handed her a scroll and a necklace, "Take this and run away. Go to the Wei family of the Yarim Empire. They will reward you a lot for it."

When she finished speaking the girl ran toward the guards. Shen Hua and Yami stared in the direction the girl disappeared until they heard the sound of a fight.

Yami patted Shen Hua's head, "Wake up! We have to get out of here."

"Okay. Hold this for me.", Shen Hua handed the parchment and necklace to Yami, then jumped down, landing on the top of the wall. Without even looking back Shen Hua jumped off the wall, he didn't want to miss a second for fear of being seen.

As it fell Shen Hua manipulated the sand and formed a claw in your hand like the one before. He put his hand on the wall to slow the fall.

As soon as it landed it put Yami on the ground and they started running away from the castle. When they were far enough apart they both mingled with the crowd as they headed for the rendezvous point.

When they got out of town they saw Lu Yin leaning against a carriage and Shen Ruo shooting cards next to him. Lu Yin was the first to see them and called Shen Ruo.

Shen Ruo ran up to both of them and asked worriedly, "Yami, Big Brother, are you two all right?"

"We are. I'm hungry, did you buy food?", when he heard Shen Hua asking about the food, Shen Ruo lowered his head. Shen Hua turned to Lu Yin who arrived, "What results do the plans give? None.", Shen Hua turned to Shen Ruo and Yami, "Go buy food, don't forget dessert."

"Why do I have to go?", Yami complained pointing to with the scroll and necklace on Shen Hua's face.

"Do I have to remind you of our little game?", Shen Hua took Yami's the scroll and necklace and spoke with a smile.

Yami looked at Shen Hua angrily, she grabbed Shen Ruo's arm and pulled him away. Shen Hua kept smiling until they both disappeared along with Lu Yin.

"How was it?", Lu Yin didn't specify but Shen Hua understood what he meant.

"Some dead, she killed five of them. The theft went well, several spiritual crystals and spiritual items, as well as some weapons and armor. During the escape we encountered problems, but one girl helped us with a distraction. Alias, you know a Wei family of the Yarim Empire?", Shen Hua turned and walked toward the carriage.

"The Yarim Empire is the second strongest country on our continent, and the Wei family is his most powerful family. Some peoples say it is even stronger than the Imperial family. But why the question?", Lu Yin followed Shen Hua to the carriage, 'Looks like the robbery went smoothly.'

"A mission. But that can wait. We have to get out of here, it shouldn't take long for them to discover the theft, we might have made a little mess.", Shen Hua and Lu Yin got into the carriage and talked about the Battle.

"Here's your lunch Big Brother.", Shen Hua handed the food to Shen Hua and got into the carriage with Yami, who sit next to Lu Yin and started eating her food.

Lu Yin got out of the carriage and then returned, the carriage began to move. After eating Shen Hua and Yami slept, both were very tired from the theft and slept the entire trip.

When they woke up the carriage had arrived in the City Jewelry Mines. They didn't stop and headed straight out of town, after sleeping Shen Hua had recovered enough of his lightning power to travel.

Everyone only stopped when the sun went down. They came to a small town, went to a hotel and asked for two rooms. Everyone entered a room and sat down to talk.

"Let's talk about the division," Shen Hua said and everyone looked at him expectantly, "Me and Shen Ruo got half and you both got the other half. What do you think?"

"I don't think we should take everything for ourselves, we should give the Empire a little, after all we will not use everything and it will be very good for the kingdom to have these treasures." Lu Yin wanted to convince Shen Hua to share some of the treasures with Empire, after all, they are valuable treasures that would be very useful for the whole Empire.

"No.", Shen Hua looked at Lu Yin and said smiling.

"No?", Lu Yin didn't expect Shen Hua to simply deny it without even negotiating.

"Let's split it in half if you want convince Yami to donate part of what she got, I will not interfere, but don't come ask for this for me. And if you allow me, you shouldn't ask her either, after all we know she'll do what you ask. But she shouldn't give something that risked her life for other people without getting anything back.", Shen Hua stopped smiling and was totally serious.

Lu Yin didn't wait for Shen Hua's answer, he was silent looking at Shen Hua. The room was silent, everyone was looking at Lu Yin, while he faced Shen Hua, who is waiting for his answer.

"Okay. Let's split it in half. But not now, this will take too long.", Lu Yin anticipated what Shen Hua would think and added, "To make sure no one deceives anyone we will leave Shen Ruo and Yami in the other room and get together in this one. "

As was his master's suggestion Yami did not complain about sharing a room with Shen Ruo. After they both left Lu Yin sat on one of the two beds, "This is my way of saying that we are a family."
