Ting Hao - Where are you taking me?

Yin Xiu - The elders want to talk to you.

Ting Hao - Elders! Why?

Yin Xiu - I don't know. You also know that they never tell the reason why they call us.

Ting Hao - I know.

Ting looked tensed and Yin Xiu noticed it.

Yin Xiu - Relax. You did nothing wrong. You don't have to be tensed.

Ting Hao(thinking) - I know I haven't done anything wrong. I mean, not being with you and wishing you guys to get destroyed is not wrong. You guys deserve it.

Soon they reached a room. Both of them were standing in front of the room. Both of them were nervous because they did not know the reason why the elders call them.

Yin Xiu - Let's go in.

Ting Hao - Yeah.

Then Yin Xiu opens the door. As they went inside, they saw four elders sitting there. And Ting Hai starts to greet them.

Ting Hao - Hello Elder Chang! Hello Elder Bao! Hello Elder Chao! Hello Elder Chen.

They all were no one else but the founder of Feng Yun Hall. Elder Chen is the former president and father of Chen Zhou. They all are former Yuan Wu Dao champions. At that time, Feng Yun Hall was a fair and honest hall. But when Elder Chen had a cardiac arrest, everything changed. Now Chen Zhou was the president of Feng Yun Hall. He got that position at a very young age. He was only 8 and because he was so young, the position was automatically given to his uncle. His uncle was the one who brought him up. His uncle was not a good man like Elder Chen but he was the best Yuan Wu Dao fighter of his time. He did not give Chen Zhou anything good like manners and a good way of thinking. But what he gave him was his skill because he saw something in Chen Zhou which he was never able to see in his own kids. While growing up, Chen Zhou was a guy who never satisfied his father with his deeds but he surely satisfied his uncle. Later his uncle died and now the president of Feng Yun hall was Chen Zhou according to his uncle's will and Elder Chen was not able to do anything. Now Chen Zhou was a grown-up adult and his father could never change the way Chen Zhou thinks.

Elder Chen - Yin Xiu, thank you for bringing Ting Hao here but now... I think that you should go now because there are people whom we invited. I don't want Feng Yun to have a bad impression on them.

Yin Xiu nodded and left the room.

Elder Chen - Ting Hao, please sit.

Then Ting Hao sat in front of the four elders.

Ting Hao - Did I do something wrong?

Elder Chen - No, you did nothing. We just called you here to ask how you convinced them to come here. Especially Chang An. When he ran away from here, he clearly mentioned that he would never come back here even if he dies. Then how?

Ting Hao - I told them the truth. I told them that I am not betraying them but you all. But in reality... I am still betraying them.

Elder Chen giggled.

Elder Chen - I know that you hate Feng Yun Hall, especially Chen Zhou. It's not even your fault, Ting Hao. Chen Zhou has done many things which unforgettable and unforgivable. But at the end of the day... he is my son even though he doesn't acknowledge itt or doesn't listen to me, he is my son. It's not his fault that he has turned out like this. It's my fault. I should never have left him with my evil brother.

Tears started falling off from Elder Chen's eyes.

Ting Hao - I think... I should leave now.

Then Ting Hao got up from his chair and was about to open the door but he was stopped by a voice. It was Elder Chen's voice.

Elder Chen - Please don't kill him.

Hearing that, Ting Hao turns to his back.

Elder Chen - I am not saying that don't punish him for his evil deeds. I am just requesting you to not kill him. Please!

Ting Hao said nothing and just left that room.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - Don't worry, Elder Chen. We are not like Chen Zhou. We are not killers.

Then Ting Hao went towards the training hall. There he saw that Yin Xiu and Bai Cao were training together. Ting Hao went towards them

Ting Hao - Yin Xiu, I need to talk to you.

Then both, Yin Xiu and Ting Hao came out of the training hall.

Ting Hao - Why are you practising with Bai Cao?

Yin Xiu - What do you mean? Shouldn't I be doing this?

Ting Hao - I don't understand what you are saying, Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu - I am practising with her to know all her weaknesses. Isn't it obvious, Drillmaster?

Ting Hao - Okay.

When Yin Xiu went from there. Ting Hao had a smile on his face. As Yin Xiu entered the practice hall, she saw that Bai Cao was already practising with Xiao Ying. Ting Hao entered the hall at that time.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - You think I will let you know Bai Cao's weaknesses... never, Yin Xiu. I will never let you guys know any of her weaknesses.

A few minutes ago.

Ting Hao was entering the practice hall. He saw Yin Xiu practising with Bai Cao.

Ting Hao(in his mind) - Why is Yin Xiu practising with Bai Cao? Yeah! To know her weaknesses. But Bai Cao doesn't have any weaknesses. I should not worry about it.

Then Ting Hao was going to another side. But suddenly he stopped.

Ting Hao - I think, I should still not let them practise together. If they will, then Yin Xiu will get to know that Bai Cao doesn't have any weaknesses. But if they won't, Yin Xiu will continue to focus on Bai Cao's weaknesses. And when she will get to know, that Bai Cao doesn't have any weaknesses, it will be too late for her. Yeah. But how will I stop them from practising together?

Then suddenly, Ting Hao saw Xiao Ying. Then he saw Chang An. After looking at them, he smiled and went towards Yin Xiu and Bai Cao.

Ting Hao - Yin Xiu, I need to talk to you.

Yin Xiu and Ting Hao were walking towards the door. While walking, Ting Hao snapped twice. As Chang An heard that he looked at Ting Hao. Ting Hao first pointed his index finger at Xiao Ying and then his thumb at Bai Cao. He did that within a second. Chang An understood what Ting Hao wanted him to do. As Ting Hao and Yin Xiu came out of the hall. Chang An went towards Xiao Ying and asked her to practise with Bai Cao.

Chang An - Xiao Ying, practise with Bai Cao and if Yin Xiu comes and says that she wants to practise with you, Bai Cao. Tell her that Xiao Ying knows the way you practise. Okay?

Xiao Ying and Bai Cao - Okay.

Then Chang An went where he was.

Back to the present.

Yin Xiu went towards Ting Hao.

Yin Xiu(angrily) - See what you have done. I had a nice chance to know her weaknesses. But because of your silly questions, I lost that golden opportunity.

Ting Hao kept silent and just nodded.

Yin Xiu - Why are you not saying anything?

Ting Hao(in his mind) - If I will say anything... I won't be able to control my laughter. You don't know, Yin Xiu, how I am controlling my laughter.

Yin Xiu(irritated) - You are just impossible.

Saying that Yin Xiu left from the room in anger.

Soon it was midday and suddenly, a bell rang. it's time for lunch.

Bai Cao - For what did that bell rang?

Chang An - For lunch.

Ting Hao - Yeah, it's time for lunch.

Xiao Ying(astonished) - They five food here too! How rich!

Chang An giggled.

Chang An - You are talking about food, you see all these people here. They all live here.

Xiao Ying, Bai Cao & Yi Feng(shocked) - What!

Ting Hao - Yeah, they all live here.

Ting Yi - Feng Yun hall people even provide them luxurious rooms.

Chang An - These people think that they are being trained here but in reality... they are just prisoners. But they won't understand this now. For that, they will have to live in the world out of this Feng Yun hall. You know, some of them are here since their childhood like me and Yin Xiu. We were prisoners here since our childhood. There are people who came here with their own will but people like us don't even know why they are here. This is just the beginning, you guys will get to know everything soon even Ting Hao doesn't know everything. Just wait and watch. There are many dark secrets of them. Let's go.

Then they all went towards the place where the food was being served.

As they were walking, they saw those luxurious rooms about which Chang An was talking. Little ahead, they saw the most luxurious room, it really attracted Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying - Who's room is that? It is the most luxurious one.

Ting Hao - For now, it's my room.

Yi Feng - That's your room! Pretty amazing.

Bai Cao - But what do you mean by for now?

Ting Hao - Before me, it was Chang An's room. Now you must have understood what I meant.

Bai Cao - Yeah, I did.

Xiao Ying - But I didn't.

Yi Feng - Xiao Ying, when is your brain is going to work?

Xiao Ying - What is wrong with it? I just did not understand. That's it.

Ting Yi - Obviously. It is just that Xiao Ying's brain doesn't work on important things. It works on useless things like you, Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Wait a second. Who are you insulting, me or her? Because everything you just said doesn't really explain it.

Ting Yi - I guess, I am insulting both of you.

They all laughed. Then they all continued towards the place.

After having their lunch, they all went back to practice.

Soon it was dusk and now it was time to go home. Bai Cao, Xiao Ying, Ting Yi, Ting Hao Chang An, Yi Feng and Fei Yu went to change their dress.

They were about to go out of Feng Yun Hall but suddenly, they were stopped by a voice. That voice was no one else's but Yin Xiu.

Yin Xiu(yelling) - Stop! Stop!
