It's been 7 years, Jin is 15 and grows a power of eternal strength, though he is still weak in some cases of dark power and he keep himself soft and stand firm not to get easily angry from people who annoys him, his training is all good and made good performance in his training and he mastered balancing his power and strength
"Master Long when will my father come visit me!!" Jin asked balanced sitted by his sword looking at the white snakes twirled up in the trees
"it's been 5 years it's unfair!!!" he complained
"Jin'er, the capital is at war and the people of the capital is in danger, your father is in duty to protect them" Master long explained
"oh really, I heard the eldest prince killed his two brothers and will be next in the throne!!" Shao Qi walked out and approached them Jin made a face and stood up
"how about my father, he is the second Prince!!!" Jin was worried
"Jin'er no need to worry"
"what no need my dad is in danger!!!" he yelled
"No Jin, your dad is not allowed to take the throne so it's between his 3 brothers!!" Master Long explained
"how is that possible?"
"they see your dad as an outcast and consider him as a killing machine to fight for victory" Shao Qi explained
"Shao Qi!!!" Masted long glared at him
"that's stupid, we must go there and see him, I also miss my father!!" he said full of exitement
"Jin No!!!" Shao Qi stopped him
"you cannot go, your eyes are different from other people and they might find out who you are stay!!" he commanded
"but-"
"Shao Qi is right Jin, you must stay, you are different from other people, stay out of the capital business and stay in Dragon temple!!" they both left Jin and went inside to have a cup of tea
though Jin is furious and always seek time and chance to see the outside world, he planned to escape
Shao Qi woke up early in the morning and washed himself clean, though he was feeling a little uncomfortable, he went to the bamboo training ground and witness no Jin'er practicing Taichi
"Master Long did you see Jin?" Master long Shook his head so he went to his room and found a letter, saying he went to the hill and meditate with the snakes, he sigh in relief and walked out safe and sound
"is he there?" Master long walked in
"he's okay, he went to the mountain to meditate!!" he whistled away
"that's good, while he is away let's prepare a gift for Jin, its his birthday!!!" giggled Master long
The carriage strolled away towards the gate of Misty hills, the monk is going out to the capital to get some materials and give silvers to the poor, however as the carriage approach the gate, Jin moved his head out of the box and looked at the stunning view of Zhu state, the Kingdom that atop the hill looked graceful and majestic as if it ruled the world from its position, below the kingdom is the city that is designed with different shapes and colors, pavilions ruled the beauty of the city and people cannot be counted from their many numbers
"wow!!" Jin's eyes twinkled, he looked at the approaching wall and gate of gigantic iron, guards stand firm with serious faces holding a weapon in their hands, Jin rolled back to the box and prepared himself to get out when he has the chance
the carriage stopped and noises grew louder outside making Jin create a butterfly in his stomach, he sensed that the monks are busy so he sneaked out and covered his face with hood
he wondered around and can only see the shoes of the people walking, he is afraid that when he lift his head people will see his eyes and grow terrified, however a saleswoman was yelling not too far away from Jin
"Weimao, buy a Veil hat!!!" she shouted, jin looked up and saw a wide hat with a veil that covers the face, he approached and put a big gold at the table and spoke
"I want that black!!" he pointed
"oh dear, it only cost-"
"take it- just give me that hat, it's really hot!!!" Jin spoke impatient
"oh, okay!!!" the lady gave him the black Weimao, a wide hat that is covered with veil and covers the face of a person
"Xièxiè!" he said and left
the veil covered Jin's whole head and face, his eyes cannot be easily recognized due to the color of the black veil
"wow, it's beautiful!!!" he wondered, the streets is crowded with materials and food, salesman and sales ladies made a yelling competition to attract customers to buy, there are various of pretty materials, clothes with different types of silk and gown, hairpins made of jade, gold or silver and food that adores the prince's nose
as he walk and buy some materials he felt hot and sweaty, he pulled out his fan and start cooling himself down
"the crowd makes the temperature smelly and hot!!" he complained
"Help- Help me!!!" he heard a sound and speed tapping of shoes coming his direction, he looked behind and saw a girl running towards him followed by another two aggressive soldiers in uniform holding spears
Yunxi ran after escaping the carriage of her kidnappers, her pale face painted fear and anxiety as she run away from death, she has been kidnapped at the tent of her brother and now she is in trouble
"Help- Help me!!!" she yelled
every person slide out of the way but one guy with Black Veil did not move but looked at her and the soldiers, another guards opposite to Yunxi is now also running towards her direction so Yunxi hid behind the boy
"help me- please I've been kidnapped by these guys" says Yunxi
Jin looked down on the girl and saw her fear consuming her thoughts, the guards are feirce and immaturely approached the two, Jin is now vigilant and found the time interesting
"hey boy, step out of this if you don't wanna die, hurry give us that girl!" commanded the one with bigger body
"No don't, they are not actual soldiers they are rebels!!!" Yunxi gripped Jin by the arm
"Hey, I said step out of this, give us the girl!!"
roared the skinny soldier
"you want her? here you go!!!" Jin pulled Yunxi and threw her infront of the soldiers
"what the- you-" Yunxi glared at Jin
"good boy!!!" the soldier smiled and marched towards Yunxi
"no, stay back-" Yunxi was about to cry, as soon as the soldier was about to land his hands on Yunxi Jin kicked a stone and it hit the soldier on the forehead
"ah, why did you do that?" the soldier glared at the man in veil
"what? didn't you say you wanna take her, do it!!" this time two soldiers came to Yunxi, but just like the other guy they didn't lay a hand on her since Jin picked up stones and threw it at them
"eh-" Yunxi looked at his saviour
"stop throwing stones at us or we will kill you!!!" this time the commander gritted his teeth pulled out his sword and attacked Jin
Jin responded quickly as soon as they approached him with weapons, no one layed a finger at Jin even if he cannot fully see who's at the outside his eyes can clearly see their every move, Jin took them all down using his kung-fu
although the job is done, more soldiers came to them with weapons
"oh no!!!" Jin complained
"hurry this way!!!" Yunxi pulled the boy and ran away with him towards the crowd
Shao Qi smelled the delicious newly baked cake and pulled one to taste, it taste soft and melting inside the mouth, it's really sweet that gives joy to the stomach
"hmm!!!" so good- Shao Qi you really are the greatest food inventor!!!" he praised himself
"Shao Qi did Jin come down, it's already noon!!!" Master Long came for a taste
"Master Long come, have a taste of my cake, what do you think?" Masted tasted the cake and made a joyous smile
"hmm, Shao Qi this is really delicious, seems like you are gathering my secret ingredients!!!" they both laughed
"Master Shao Qi, Master Long, did you see Jin? it's already noon!!!" Aqi came inside with a worried look on her face
"is he not home yet?" asked Master long
"yeah, he said he will go meditate but it's past lunch and he still hasn't come down!!!" Aqi frowned
Shao Qi made a face and walked out to see Jin
"I'll go see him?" Shao Qi ran to the hills passed through the fog
"Jin-" he yelled
"Master what are you doing here?" asked the white snake
"where is your young master?"
"our prince, he did come but he left after putting a paper on the cherry blossom tree!!" the white snake hissed
"did you see the letter?"
"I did not-"
Shao Qi went to the cherry blossom tree and saw Jin's letter, he closed his eyes and walked away with mad face
"oh dear!" says the white snake
"Oh, there you are? don't let Jin come yet, I haven't wrapped my gift-"
"he's not here Master Long!!" Master long stopped and looked at Shao Qi, he showed him the letter and spoke
"he went to the capital!!!" says Shao Qi
"Shènme!" Aqi was worried and in panic holding the cakes
"Aqi why didn't you notice anything!!!" Master Long scolded
"Im sorry master, Jin said he was just going to the mountain to meditate so-"
"whatever, go and prepare our horse now!!!" Shao Qi left in a hurry and grabbed his weapon and other necessary materials he need before both men went out of the foggy forest towards the Zhu capital
