They took us to the warehouse behind the inn. Those who were stone faced before were now weeping. Master Yi gulped down his sadness, suppressing his tears and said in sad voice to us, "All of you be strong. Surely we can find a solution."

All of us nodded dully. My mind could not process what had just happened.

Sister Rong came over sat near me. During my six months stay, I had become very close to her. Every time I got in trouble she would come to rescue me.

She comforted me with gentle words.

I asked her about the matter between Zhen and Master Yi.

With a sad look in her eyes, she replied "Zhen was the top student of CIC. He was excellent but was always lacking in decision making. Shen, who joined the CIC, placed first in every assignment. Master Yi had always been close to Zhen so when he praised Shen, Zhen would be very angry. At first, we all thought that his anger was due to childishness, but who have thought they had been fighting for a girl too. She was a member of Blackstrome. In the end, she chose to be with Zhen on the condition that he would have to join Blackstrome. Zhen had always felt neglected so he agreed to join Blackstrome."

As we were talking, the door of warehouse opened, Zhen entered and strode quickly towards me, "Get up."

Hearing him, Sister Rong tightened her hold and said to him angrily, "Why do you want her? She hasn't done anything wrong. Why must you take her?"

Zhen chuckled while pulling me towards him, "Sister Rong, no need to be so aggressive. After all, everything we did today was for her."

"What do you mean?" Master Yi's voice came from behind Zhen, "So you were eyeing her? If you want to take her, then take her from my dead body and everyone else here. We won't let you touch even a single strand of her hair."

All the people gathered around in no time.

Zhen chuckled and drawled in mocking tone, "Master, you must bs set on making me a sinner. How could I be eyeing sister in law. In our world, loyalty is the most important, I won't do that kind of sin even if I lost my mind. Big brother is the one who needs her."

By this time everyone had already guessed who big brother was. Everyone knew that Zhen only liked to work under Dark Knight.

Master Yi trembled and spoke in high voice, "Even if he is the one who wants her, we will never agree to give up our sister."

Zhen nodded his head slowly, "If you say so Master, then I should just kill you now. Sooner or later you will die anyways."

"Men! Come inside and kill them."

Oh! I should stop them. They are going to die because of me. I am the one he wants to kill. God, I don't want to die at such a young age.

I stopped Zhen and spoke calmly to him, "I will go with you."

"Tao-er!!" Master Yi and Sister Rong looked at me, clearly alarmed.

I smiled at them and said, "I am sorry for deceiving you in past, but he actually wanted to kill me from the very start. I didn't know he would come and find me this fast."

Sister Rong once again tried to make me change my mind, "Tao-er, you don't need to lie to save us. How could you meet Dark Knight when you were always with me? Don't worry Tao-er, we all will get out of this."

"Finish this drama now. Are you going or not? Make your decision faster. Time is running. You need to be taken to him in 5 minutes." Zhen spoke hurriedly and glared at me.

I didn't know what he was thinking.

I apologized deeply to Master Yi and Sister Rong before walking out of the inn with Zhen.

He took me to a bamboo house in the middle of the lake. Ironically, this place that she would most likely die was breathtakingly beautiful under the moonlight.
