Yu Ru Rui pushed past GaLa Yue. He exited his chamber and killed some martial artist who were trying to escape. He got slightly hurt fighting with those who escaped. Frustrated at his wasted efforts, he went back to his chambers.
"Ru Rui, I won. You have lost, "
"Hah, keep it up. I'll kill all of them sooner or later, "
GaLa Yue step up close to Yu Ru Ru. Suddenly he noticed a jade pendant on Yu Ru Rui's waist. He grabbed it and took a look. He had seen it somewhere but where?
"Hey! Ah Yue! Give it back! " Yu Ru Rui tried to snatch it back.
He remembered where and took out another jade pendant he had worn around his neck. It had been there since his family was killed. His father gave it to him.
"Where did you get this from? "
"None of your business. Give it back! " Yu Ru Rui stopped talking when he saw that GaLa Yue had the same Jade pendant as him.
To get a closer look at it, GaLa Yue put the pendants before the candlelight. Suddenly Yu Ru Rui exclaimed, "look at the wall! "
GaLa Yue looked and saw a shadow of a map upon the wall.
Extremely curious until they forgot their hatred, the two decided to find out the place.
Yu Ru Rui knew his demon sect was going to get besieged as he had a traitor. They followed the map which took them to an ancestral hall deep in an unknown forest. Yu Ru Rui went about disturbing the tablets and offerings left there.
GaLa Yue stopped him as it was disrespect but the fearsome demon Lord wasn't scared of ghosts or evil spirits. Yu Ru Rui spotted a tablet without a name.
"Eh, who's is this? No name? Rubbish! " he clumsily picked up the tablet and simply waved it in front of the candlelight to see clearly. Unfortunately he burned it to ashes. GaLa Yue reprimanded him. "Ah Yue, even though I accompany you, it doesn't mean I'll let you go. After all this end, I'll still capture all those fake righteous sects, you along with them. Oh and except the idiot Lan. He's so noisy, " GaLa Yue stopped him from babbling as the ashes of the tablet had formed into words. Words which his memory knew.
He followed the clues and it led to a statue. Yu Ru Rui insulted and cursed the statue. GaLa Yue thought it was too offensive so he tried to make the latter apologised but Yu Ru Rui wouldn't give in. They ended up quarrelling and struggled with one another. They accidently tripped and fell down in front of the statue. That activated a secret passage below the statue.
The two entered the passage which suddenly closed and they were trapped. GaLa Yue saw a round hole which looks suspicious.
"It looks like a jade, " Yu Ru Rui casually said. GaLa Yue got the idea and joined both their jades pendants together. It formed a perfect round circle. He pushed it into the hole and it clicked open. To a secret room. In the room they found two books. It was the medical manual left by the Hong Family and martial arts manual left by The GaLa Manor.
Yu Ru Rui was excited. This could help cure GaLa Yue of his illnesses. So the two practiced the manual together. They mastered it and GaLa Yue's illness was completely cured. Then they left and came out of the passage. When they climbed up the stairs underneath the statue, Yu Ru Rui was shocked! He saw blood and fox fur over the floor. Worried, he ran out to the ancestral hall where he then collapsed on his needs near the body of a young girl.
Xiao Hu, his personal assistant laid there looking at him with her eyes half close. "master..... "
"Xiao Hu! Xiao Hu! Who did this!?"
But she died in his arms before she could say anything. Yu Ru Rui was furious. He wanted revenge.
GaLa Yue noticed someone hiding up on the roof. He took his sword and cut the roof down. A man avoided the fallen roof and landed in front of him. GaLa Yue fought with the man but he used poison, similar to that of the demons. Yu Ru Rui was raging furious. He slashed his whip at the man whom is Cheng Luo. Yu Ru Rui knew Cheng Luo as a wandering martial artist who never take sides but it seems those claims are untrue. Even though Cheng Luo was a skilled fighter, Yu Ru Rui having learnt the secret martial arts manual became more powerful. Cheng Luo hit his chest causing him to spit out blood.
GaLa Yue wanted to help but Yu Ru Rui shouted angrily at him to not interfere. He wanted to personally kill Cheng Luo. Yu Ru Rui managed to kill him brutally and cruelly. He collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. GaLa Yue ran to his side.
GaLa Yue looked him in the eyes, staring and searching for the true man behind those murderous yet kind eyes. Yu Ru Rui stared back at him, a trail of blood left on this right side of his mouth. "You...." GaLa Yue began, buy then he stopped himself from saying anything more. Yu Ru Rui saw the disappointment in GaLa Yue's face. He quickly turned his head away to avoid looking at GaLa Yue. GaLa Yue understood what Yu Ru Rui was feeling. Hatred. Revenge and the unexplainable pain of losing everything dear to one's heart. GaLa Yue had experienced that before. His pain didn't heal untill he met Yu Ru Rui. GaLa Yue took Yu Ru Rui by the shoulders gently. Then he turned Yu Ru Rui around to face him. GaLa Yue looked into Yu Ru Rui's eyes and said, "I believe you."
Yu Ru Rui looked at him, can't believing what GaLa Yue had said. Then Yu Ru Rui scoffed. "How can you believe me? You know what I did! " Yu Ru Rui was referring to those sect leaders he'd killed.
"I know. Though I don't know your reason, Ru Rui, but I trust you. I trust you would never hurt anyone innocent. "
"you don't know who or what I am. I killed people. Innocent they are! You shouldn't be with me in the first place. I shouldn't have befriended you. It was all a mistake, " Yu Ru Rui looked down at the ground.
GaLa Yue smiled. He now knew what Yu Ru Rui was worried about. Yu Ru Rui was worried that GaLa Yue would be dragged into his evil revenge and people would come after him day and night. His nasty cruel revenge, for which he'd sacrifice many innocent people.
"Ru Rui, " GaLa Yue squeezed Yu Ru Rui's fingers. "I'll be there for you, no matter what. Don't you remember your promise? "
Yu Ru Rui had promise to stay with him through life and death. Suddenly Ming Long was thrown on the floor in front of them. They quickly look for the attacker but whoever thrown him had disappeared. "Ming Long! What are you doing here!? Where are the others? " GaLa Yue asked in surprise.
Ming Long explained he was kidnapped by demons when he was about to follow the rest to escape. He told them that there are demons lurking outside. "They may come in anytime, " Ming Long said, "we should hide and recover first. "
GaLa Yue agreed. So the three of them went down the stairs and into the secret room. GaLa Yue helped to transfer energy to Yu Ru Rui. "Lan QiLin is also here. Surrounded by demons, " Ming Long said coldly. His voice tone had changed. The two looked at him, one siting, one standing. They noticed something different about him. His aura. His energy. His power. He didn't look weak or timid like before. GaLa Yue guessed something. Cheng Luo? He didn't worked for demons. How did he know this place? Someone was tailing him and Yu Ru Rui. "You did it? " GaLa Yue confusedly asked.
Ming Long suddenly burst out laughing and he suddenly reach forward and pushed GaLa Yue to the stone wall.
