Chapter 20 - CHAPTER TWENTY

A slight knock came at the door of the guest room where Xhan and Weng stayed in " Yes" Xhan shouted arranging his master's robes in a place " open up" a whisper came " Force" Weng who was asleep jumped down hearing the voice " I brought you Tassels....." he hasn't finished his statement when Weng opened the door dragging him inside " You look well" Force laughed dropping four bottles of the wine on the table before kneeling beside the table " Who said I am unwell?" weng asked as he carelessly sat cross-legged beside the young childe whose robes were beautifully red sparkling with his beauty but he had no hair pin making him look casual " How did you sneak in with these white bottles?" weng whispered looking left and right scared of Xhou's peircing eyes " Hehe..Liu Qu helped me" Force laughed so hard remembering their transgressions " ooii, Xhou must surely sacrifice you for defiling this land, what is so bad in drinking one of heaven's best gift?" Xhan shrugged as he drank a whole bottle of wine.

" Little Xhan" Weng called like a Father who was going to whip his stubborn child. Sensing the change of tone in his master's voice, Xhan slowly moved back with the empty bottle in his bosom " I was just....errrm.....yes..... thirsty...hehe" he stuttered moving back but Weng dragged him " A hundred and fifty squats" Weng said before releasing his grip on him " Master" he began sulking, hugging Weng from behind.

" You know I am little master, my legs will wobble and my arms break for this intense punishment" he kept sulking still hugging him tight " Spare me" he continued crying like a two months kid that have been abandoned.

The speechless Weng couldn't move a bit as xhan held him tight pleading for mercy

" Na....na...na ....na" xhan kept his pace of begging intact trying to soften his master

" Eh..let me go and I won't ask you to do it" Weng spoke getting enough of the lad, Morever,he was his only family and consolation in this world.

His words made Xhan to peck his neck continuously with Joy " Thank you master" he laughed like a free child as he kept kissing his master's neck. Force watched them with a smile forgetting that he had a wine on his hand " I can't remember the last time I kissed Brother Xhou hmph!" Force groaned loudly " Are you a vampire?" He asked xhan who kept pouting " For now, yes" he grinned as he rubbed his nose around his master's neck " Ai! " was all Force could exclaim as he palmed his face.

The clan of exodus

Tang Hu observed the latern with his father, both of them had an evil smile as they rallied around the floating latern in the black air " The Golden bidding latern" Ming Hu roared into laughter causing all to bow shivering in fear.

The bidding latern was an ancestral holy tool created by the master of black cultivation, he died leaving the latern in kiribi clan who were the first clan to accept evil by misusing the holy latern.

Hmm! the ancestors or the immortals must be really mad at Weng Xing for not finding the latern first before it fell on the hands of evil doers and seekers of more power but can we blame him? He might have totally forgotten about it when trying to find a hiding place or escaping from emotional trauma.

" They got it" a soft voice behind the crow that perched on the tower of the clan exclaimed " What should we do?" the voice asked " What we should do" replied the crow as he glared at a certain figure who locked fingers with Tang Hu " Jing Su" he hissed in anger seeing the latter smile watching the latern which was actually the inheritance of Weng Xing.

Present day

The streets of the flower clan were busy as all stores and stalls displayed their goods calling out for customers, Weng Xing sat near the wooden bridge leading to the inner streets as he held a tree branch casually watching the ongoings of the clan.

He was here for something and that something was here according to the V sign on his neck, the sign was like a signal to him and it became itchy whenever it's target was near or around. He had secretly Left the sect without telling Xhou about it and what does he care? There are some certain things that he needed to do by himself without dragging Xhou to his mess like in their past lives.

His thoughts were cut short by two maidens who walked past him, what caught his attention wasn't their beauty but the discussion held on by them

" I heard Xhou Zao is alive"

" I heard so too but according to many people,it was clearly a ritual performed by people that brought him back for revenge"

" Having a friend like Weng Xing is really disturbing, you die with him"

" Look all those he loved and those loved him died, Xhou died a year later and I heard his disciple died with him in the seige"

" What a waste of handsome look!"

" You have met him?"

" Yes , that was when I was six and he came around with his disciple to buy white jades that I think are for Brother Xhou"

" How was he like?" the other girl asked already blushing " Umph" Weng gave a look of disgust at the girl already crushing on him without meeting him.

" Tall but Xhou is taller, he had this playful attitude and a charming smile and he was always on either black or red garments with a red flute that I believe it's waste"

" huh?" Weng was getting irritated already, how dare they say that his flute was a waste? Oh ! Xhou's flute was really precious tsk tsk!

" I haven't seen Brother Xhou" His crush said to the girl telling the story as they stopped beside the bridge.

" Always on white robes with a flute, he has a hair pin and sometimes wears a silver hand band. He was meaner than any of my disciplinarians but always soften when talking to Weng Xing"

This statement made Weng to smile, Indeed they had a relationship which noone had.... black and white relationship must have been the best so far in this life.

But the discussions he had listened to,the girls never for once accused him for betrayal and traitorous attitude. Looks like they really adored him and took him as a hero " So apart from the Qu sect, there are some peeps who believed I wasn't at fault" he grinned to himself as he rubbed his jaw .

" Weng Xing was his obessesion , like a wine he was drunken with"

" He is still attached to him" Weng interrupted, he wanted to brag and show them that Xhou won't have any other person apart from him. Having both an ex prince and a white Cultivator who rarely spoke to people as a friend,was really a blessing of the gods and why should he waste such opportunity to brag about him?

The girls turned to at the mad man but became dummfonded when an attractive man smiled at them as he chewed the branch. Even in his disguise ,he was an unexplainable beauty " Brother,why do you sit under the hot sun?" his crush asked fiddling her hair with a blush " I just want to feel the glorious daylight" he smiled making them melt within " Then you must need extra wine to cool off" the other girl chipped in opening her basket. Her words made Weng Xing smile " You know my heart" the idiot flattered accepting the two bottles of white wine from the girl " it was made from Apple seeds" His crush explained as she handed him a package " These are cakes that I baked myself" she blushed as Weng Xing accepted the cakes.

" Thank you" he bowed " Here take this tailsman, it belong to Weng Xing and it chases evil from your side" he said handing them dozens of his tailsman making them to scream with joy " It really belongs to Weng Xing, how are you acquitted with him?" they asked placing the tailsman inside their garments.

What manner of question is this? I am weng xing you beauties " He gave them to me when he came over to our family court of cleansing" ok..... what a good lie you got, Weng Xing " Oh thank you so much, my brother will be happy to see them" His crush exclaimed as she sped off with numerous joy in her " hey wait for me" her friend cried running after her.

What a convincing idiot! Weng thought to himself as he devoured the cakes and wines " Let the world hear my voice" He smiled inhaling the scent of the daylight which was abruptly stopped by a stone that landed directly on his forehead . What in the devil? He rubbed his forehead ignoring the trouble that laid on his way ,only to be kicked by someone on his abdomen followed by a wild laughter which attracted passerbys to the scene.

I have really sworn that I won't cause trouble or disturb anyone but it looks like, trouble is knocking on my door " How dare you assault and take something from our girls huh?" a bold voice asked as Weng sat up dusting his garments unbothered by the suitation. He glances at the speaker before sitting back at his position picking his nails, igniting the anger in the gang that stood in front of him.

Bastards! Xhan can beat a whole out of you and I can't waste my time on weaklings poor in cultivation..how disheartening! His simple but arrogant action intrigued the boys to beat him up, how dare he! this bastard of a beggar

" Hey, how dare you ignore us?"

" Do you know we are the rulers of this clan?"

" Our master can tear you off and feed you to the dogs, you shameless beggar" but it didn't move Weng who chuckled Crossing a leg on another and whistling loudly to anger them which worked smoothly as ABC.

" You are courting death" another cried pointing at Weng who still sat unmoved by their empty threats " Get out of my sight, I have important issues to handle" his calm but annoying voice triggered the gang leader to pull out his sword .

" You bastard" he yelled dashing at Weng who swiftly dodged it alarming more viewers from the streets ,he sharply turns as another charged at him with a sword and knocks him down using his left leg " I said I am busy" he snapped at them before heading to his former position receiving honorable whispers from the viewers.

" My first time of seeing them getting humiliation"

" He is so good even with the little skills he displayed"

The whispers of the passerbys angered the gang and together, they charged at Weng attacking him brutally and not giving him a chance of defense. But Weng was quick as lightning dodging their clashes,he kicked a table on the air which flung around hitting two of the men " weaklings" he cursed frowning deeply at the helpless men before adjusting his shabby garments non- chalantly " Lord Chen" one of the men cried running towards a man with a peircing aura that just entered the scene.
