The assassin kept strangling Tie Lan and as he was about to raise his sword and stab her, Tie Zhi showed up. She ran as fast as she could and went to held the hand of the assassin, she was doing that with all her might therefore she was panting heavily. The assassin looked back and wanted to stab Tie Zhi when her fierce fire power struck him and he fell. Tie Zhi hurried to where he fell and unmasked him. She saw his face and she gasped for breath.
TIE ZHI
Having seen the face of the assassin I became really scared although I didn't know him but he has a scary face. His face was full of sword scars and he has a tatoo drawn on his neck.
"Who are you"? I asked him.
He didn't reply but instead he freed himself from my grip and ran away, I couldnt chase him because I was also tired on the other hand. After the assassin went I was surprised and unhappy for some reason and i thought about the power that struck the assassin.
******
Tie Zhi doesn't know she possess such fierce power talkless of knowing how to control it, each time the power works, she always wondered what happened.
TIE ZHI
I cut myself away from my thought and hurried to scared Tie Lan. She already froze as such thing has never happened to her. She could barely talk to me.
Tie Lan are you okay? I asked
She replied with a nod and then I realized that she was still in shock. I took her out and rinse her face with little water and took her back inside for her to have some rest. After some time, she has regained her strength and she beginned to ask me some questions.
Tie Zhi how do you know I was in danger?she asked.
Uhhm..that's because....i couldn't find a suitable answer to her question. I scratched my neck thinking of what to say.
Actually u kñow as siblings our souls are connected that's how I knew. That's all I could tell her and she nodded. She looked at me in a way that shows that she pities me.
"Why are you looking at me in that manner"? I asked.
Tie Zhi you are a rare gem i hardly see sisters like you she says and I blushed a bit and patted her on the head. Thanks for everything she added.
You are welcome Tie Lan, what are siblings for. I replied with a smile.Just then I noticed that our door has been broken by the assassin and i thought of finding a carpenter to repair it for us. I took Tie Lan with me and we went out to look for a carpenter to help us repair our broken door.
YONG HE STREET
Tie Zhi and Tie Lan was walking along the street of yong amidst crowd who came to buy and sell in yong he market. As they were about to enter the Carpenter's stall, a man approached them and he was dressed like a monk.
THE MONK
As i set my eyes on the little girl holding her younger sister, and walking along the street,I saw a sign of a weird sacred power dwelling inside her and I decided to approach her. I saw that she was about to enter the nearest carpenter stall, I went to meet her and tell her some things.
TIE ZHI
On seeing the man, I was terrified because of his appearance. I greeted him formally and he replied. Tie Lan on the other hand was confused thinking of where we knew each other.
"Why have you come to me sir"? I asked him.
Nothing much, he replied. I only wanted to introduce myself to you as a fortune teller,he said.
I was astonished thinking of what I needed a fortune teller for but I couldn't ignore him because he is an elderly man.
Sir I don't think I am in need of a fortune teller, I told him
You can be of need dear, he said. I can interprete people's dreams and tell people how the journey of their life will look like.
"Journey of life"? I asked still confused
Yes my child. He replied. I am also specialized in unraveling mysterical powers. He added
Thanks for telling us all this sir but I don't need a fortune teller, I said
He nodded his head and I entered the Carpenter's stall. I was shocked when I entered because of the person I saw.
"Feng mo bing" I said really shocked.
He turned to face me and scoffed. You have a pretty good memory I can't imagine you can still remember me. He said
By the way what are you doing at a Carpenter's stall? He asked me
I..uhhm...I stammered and couldn't give him a quick reply, he looked at me and suspected something was off.
Can we go out and talk? He asked
I nodded in agreement and we went out of the Carpenter's shop.
FENG MO BING
I noticed the way Tie Zhi answers my question and i suspected something was wrong. We went out of the Carpenter's stall to discuss at length.
What actually happened? I asked her. She heaved a sigh and she replied. We got attacked by an assassin .
I opened my mouth in bewilderment. An assassin? I repeated. Yes, she replied again.
How did it happen? Where were you when it happened? How did you managed to escaped? I asked those questions in a row.
She didn't answer the questions, she remained silent. I guess she doesn't want to answer that and I asked her other things.
So what are do you plan to do now? I don't even know she replied in a confused tone but I think we should go home she said.
Go home? But your door has been broken and the place isn't safe for you anymore . what if the assasin appear again? I asked.
She was silent for a while and she finally talk.
Don't worry Mo bing we will be fine, she said but I wasn't satisfied with that. Just then, I remembered to ask of her parents.
"Where are your parents"? I asked
I noticed that the question pierced through and heart and it hurts her then she replied amidst tears,
" My parents are no more alive.They have been dead 8years ago. She said
I feel sorry for her. What about other relatives?I asked again.
They are no relatives, she said. I looked at her and her little sister and I felt pity for them. Just then an idea dropped into my mind.
