Bobby arrived at a huge mansion built in a Chinese way, it was wide and had a lot of buildings connecter to each other and rivers and lakes around. Bobby drives in dangerously as he packed the car.
Some maids ran out, they all had fear written on their faces
"Y... You.. Young master" The head maid stuttered
"Has my sister arrived?" Bobby asked coldly
"Yes, the young mistress awaits you at cloud manor" She replied as Bobby froze
"Cloud manor has been reopened?"
"Yes, the young mistress knelt down for 3 days and night before the Madam got scolded by the Master who ordered to open the manor" The maid replied as Bobby froze again
" Where's my sister?"
"She knelt in the snow so she caught a cold, she is receiving treatment in her manor...young master..." The head maid called out as Bobby ran off.
"Teng bai tui (little foolish Teng)" Bobby called out as he entered Jackie's manor
"Da ge (an intimate way of saying elder brother)"
"Why are you so foolish?"
" Brother how can you scold me immediately you arrive? Am I still your sister?"
" Why did you kneel in the snow for 3 days? Do you want to affect your cultivation?!"
"Cultivation doesn't mean anything to me, besides If the cloud manor gets demolished, how will you find the one in our dream?"
"You..." Bobby said raising up an arm
" Ah, bro don't hide it from me, I know about your night mares, you still have them till today and it keeps getting worse, you suspect that evil witch, only if we find Xiao yin (little silver), then we can find out what truly happened 10 years ago"
" I know you mean well but if you get hurt in the process, will you be able to accompany me to find Xiao yin?"
" You are already searching for her?!"
"Hmn, I've got some hints about her last whereabouts, I wanted to tell you"
" Really that's great, if we can find yin then our family would be complete once again! Also you won't marry that..."
" Eh..the walls have ears" Bobby scolded as Jackie pinned down her mouth
" You called me here to talk about an accident?"
" That's right! I almost forgot, bro my friend was involved in a huge accident!"
" Is she your friend?"
" Doesn't matter she moved with Sage and the rest and we are all friends so technically she is my friend, bro, Sage told me her accident was no mistake, it was planned "
" And why does she think so?"
" Because the person who offered her a hand when they rushed her to the hospital was an assassin!"
" That...was unexpected"
" Yes and the assassin seemed to really want to kill her"
" I see"
" Broooo, I want to see her"
" Fine, we'll go to college tomorrow okay then you can see her, we have classes to catch up to anyways"
" Really?!" Jackie said as she stood up impulsively then fell back, her knee had turned red due to intense kneeling, she grins silly at Bobby
" You don't seem to want your legs anymore" Bobby said as she immediately down
"I'm fine just a little tired that's all" Jackie said as Bobby scoffed turning away.
"Young master, little mistress the madam wishes to see you" A maid walked in bowing
" Oh crap, mom is still angry at me for bringing up the cloud manor, brother please help me ease her anger, I won't go to see her till she's back to normal "
" So you know not to provoke her, then why did you do it?"
"Fine fine, I know, I know I'm unfilial, just help me"
Jackie pushed Bobby out as she pretended to be asleep, Bobby turned to her sighing as he walked out
"The young mistress caught a cold and cannot walk around I'll see mother in her behalf"
"Ok young master" The maid bowed as they walked out of Jackie's manor.
Bobby arrived at the Jade Manor as it was decorated with Jade and Gold. He meets a young lady walking to and fro and nagging like an old woman to her maids who all followed her trying to make sure she doesn't fall or have a high blood pressure as she took deep breaths after each sentences
"Reopen Cloud manor?! Why does this girl give me a hard time?! Is she truly my daughter?"
" My lady, please calm down"
Mei lan the first maid said
" Please watch your health my lady" Mei xin added
" My lady please watch your health" The other maids said bowing in unison as she snapped being expressive and dramatic
" Calm down? Watch my health, I wish I could, these children would be the death of me! One goes to work no matter what I say and the other is so mischievous! What did I do to the heavens to deserve this? " The lady cried out as she fell to the chair
" It is not that I don't want to open cloud manor but can my poor Ah Ming take it? All these years he hasn't visited cloud manor, that's where he, Si Teng and Xiao yin used to play together, but since little yin left Si Ming and has buried himself with work, doesn't sleep, doesn't eat, even his cultivation is in danger! The only thing that makes him going is the hope to find Xiao yin, and I know he'll go all out to do that! Yet this little brat actually brought up reopening the cloud manor, does she have a death wish?!"
" Please calm down Madam"
The maids said as they notice Bobby's entrance to the manor, and acknowledged his presence by bowing
" Young master" The maids said as the lady raised her head bursting out in fake tears
" Ah Ming, Ah Ming, Si Teng has gone too far this time! I tell you I will not let it go"
"What did she do?"
" She... She... She disrespected me and your grandfather, yes, she doesn't listen to us anymore"
" Madam Lu, this isn't the first time Si Teng would be disobeying your orders and you'd let it slide, why do you decide make a scene out of it today? "
" Because... Because... " Mrs Lu said as she darted her eyes about signalling the maids for help but they all stepped back in fear
*" MRS LU: Ah Lan, Ah Xin, help me"* Mrs Lu said communicating with her eyes
*"Ah Lan: Madam, we can't, if it were anyone we'll sacrifice our selves for you but it's the young master"*
*"Ah Xin: Yes Madam we love you, but its the young master we are dealing with, you are on your own"*
*" Mrs Lu: You just said you would sacrifice yourselves for me, why can't you help me out here?! "*
*" Ah Lan: we said sacrifice not massacre, we want an easy death"*
*" Ah Xin: Yeah ....the young master is scary too too scary "*
*" Ah Lan: Madam, why don't you tell him yourself you're his mother."*
*" Mrs Lu: bu xin, bu xin, bu xin, wo hai tai nian qing bu neng si (no no no I'm too young to die)"*
*" Ah Xin, Ah Lan: Wo ye shi (same here)"* Mei xin and Mei lan replied in unison as Madam Lu gasped then bursted into tears again
"Tch drama queen" Bobby said as he left
"Bullies, bullies, you all are just bullying me because my poor husband is gone, my husband, my life, my sweetheart, Mr Lu, if he were here who would dare talk to me like this, alas the springs end early and the cold harsh winter had to come, I feel so lonely in this mansion all alone, aiya, aiya I need justice, JUSTICE!!...." Mrs Lu rattled on before Xin and Lan interrupted
"Madam, Madam"
"What my dears?"
"The young master is gone" Xin and Lan said as Mrs Lu looked around before heaving a sigh of relief
"Phew, that was close, too scary, too too scary"
"Fortunately, our Madam acting skills is second to none" The Xin and Lan praised
"Of course it is, back in my days... Ah ah ah... Don't change the topic, you snitched on me!"
"Madam, it isn't our fault the young master is too scary for us, we really didn't mean to leave you"
"Phmn! Lies" Mrs Lu scoffed as the maids went to massage her, trying to pacify her.
Bobby walked out as he seemed really tired.
"Young master Lu.....Are you okay?" Orion asked as Bobby raised an arm
"I'm fine"
"You have to rest now, I'll take care of the rest"
"I know but I still have to see grandpa, I haven't paid my respects to him yet"
"Okay I'll accompany you" Orion replied walking away with Bobby.
Meanwhile....
Sage continued stroking Diane's hair while she stared blankly at the sky as it was crystal clear and majestic, she gives a faint smile
" You don't know anything about me, and I never told you who I was, even when everyone doubts me, hates me and is weary of me why don't you?" Diane asked as she was met with a long silence before Sage replied
"Because I'm not like the others, I am not quick to judge, and I believe, anyone no matter human, demon, or spirit all have something good in them, something worth fighting for, and as long as I can protect that believe I would never be like others"
Diane froze suddenly turning to her
" Those words...those words..... who...who told you that?"
" A friend or a foe, I don't remember only those words stood by me when I was at my weakest and helped me become stronger to protect those I care about"
*DIANE: I know now why you're so familiar and relaxed around me, I guess I have one more reason to fight...one more reason not to give up, Sage, I wonder how you'll take it, that your long-lost friend....is me* Diane thought as tears clouded her eyes, she rests her head on Sage smiling.
Bobby set out for Hu Fang (Tiger) manor.
Meanwhile....The maids around lined up as they with their heads bowed as they seemed to be scolded..
"You mean to tell me my precious grandson has been sleeping on pills and alcohols all these years and none of you knew about it?!"
" Grandpa Lu .....you told us not to disturb him or infringe on his privacy"
" That didn't mean you should leave him when he was weak! Or kept it from me!!"
"Grandpa Lu please watch your health"
" Aiya, if anything happens to my grandson how can I watch my health!"
"Grandpa Lu we apologize"
"Apologize?! Even your heads isn't enough to make up for this mistake!" Lu shouted as the maids shiver, just then a tall guy ran in whispering something into his ear
" Really?!" Grandpa Lu asked with a mixture of joy and fear written in his face
" Dismissed! Dismissed!" He ordered as the maids quickly aligned in a formation
Bobby walked in with Orion as Grandpa Lu's back was facing him
"The weather looks great today, I wonder how it would feel like to bask in the sun" Grandpa Lu said as Bobby looked around seeing everyone trying their best to act natural before smirking
" I came to pay my respects grandfather" Bobby said as he bowed. Lu pretended to have just noticed his arrival as he walked up to him with his black walking stick designed with gold and a little tiger shaped at the top
"Ah? Little brat! You just know to see me now? Insolence!" Grandpa Lu scoffed as Bobby raised his head
"I'm sorry about that, I also heard yeye has been busy in the underworld lately, some movement about a wedding?"
"Who told you that?"
"So it is true.. I wonder who said he would respect my wishes and let me be in control of my life?"
"I did, so? I was... trying to pick a wife for my darling Lu Bai" Grandpa Lu said as Orion widened his eyes
Bobby turned to him with a sarcastic expression
" I didn't know you were ripe for marriage"
" No, no I.... He... We.. "
*ORION: Yeye, scold me if you want but why draw me into your game of fire I will only get burnt"*
" Yes, he is my darling son too, why? Can't I care for my son?"
"Then I suppose everyone in the Lu manor are your sons and daughter too"
" Yes of course, why? Are you saying I can't be concerned for them? They are after all under my care"
" Touching, then I guess you have a couple of weddings to organize this year, and the next, and the next... If that is so i shouldn't bother you then, Yeye I'll take my leave " Bobby said as he walked away
" Hey! Hey! Si Ming! How dare you trick me?!"
" You can't call it trickery when you started it" Bobby replied from afar
" What?! He .. he.. just like his father!! " Grandpa Lu shouted as he watched Bobby's back profile with a hidden smile
*Grandpa Lu: Exactly like his father*
Bobby walked out of Tiger manor with a victory smirk. As he returned to Long wei (dragon majesty) palace, he looked around as he reached out for some pills swallowing then in a go then he sighed removing his shirt and laid on his bed as he closed his eyes drifting off to sleep
" Ah Si!! Ah Si I'M COMING!" A little girl's voice rang in his head as Bobby saw his younger self being stuck in a crashed car in the heavy snow.
He turned to the source of the voice as he sees a little girl with long wavy silver hair seemingly covered in blood as she protected a lady with the same silver hair color, the little girl covered in blood ran towards his younger self who was trapped in the car with the rest of the Lu's
"Save my family...Ah Xin please save my family" Young Si Ming begged as the little girl nodded
Despite being injured as she single handedly pulled out Mrs Lu and Si Teng (Jackie) then ran back to Little Si Ming, pulling him out gently
"Dad...dad is still in there" Si Ming said as the little girl turned to the car seeing Master Lu unconscious, she noticed her mom who was seriously bleeding and unconscious too as she froze heaving heavily in the snow as her blood dropped on the snow.
Suddenly the Lu car blew up with Mr Lu in it as the girl's eyes widened, the after shock threw her off to her car as she further hit her head on the glass shards of the car.
"Ba!!!!" Little Si Ming shouted in tears as he stared at both the blown up car and the little girl. His entire being shook as he kneel went weak, he fell on the snow reaching out his hand
"Ah Xin wo lai le (Ah Xin, I'm coming) " He muttered before passing out.
******************************
" NO!" Bobby shouted out as he woke up panting. His heartbeat raced as he looked around then sighed whispering
"Ah Xin, where are you? Are you dead or alive? Are you safe or in danger? I'm sorry I couldn't do anything that day..." Bobby muttered as he shed a tear, he had a dragon tattoo similar to Diane's it glowed brightly for a second before becoming dim again.
The next day, Bobby dressed up in a light blue shirt and black trousers as he let down his hair letting it fall to the side if his face and his chest. He walked out of his manor meeting Jackie who was dressed in a black skirt and white long sleeved shirt like a high school student
"Bro, not to nag early in the morning but you look terrible, had the nightmare again?" Jackie asked as her expression became sad
" Silly girl what are you thinking of again? I was up finishing off the new proposal sent to the company" Bobby lied as Jackie squinted her eyes
"Hmn...you sure?"
"Swears"
" Then give them to me next time, its not like i was busy last night "
" Yeah so I'd see that girl's name written all over the draft right?"
" You...that's why I don't like helping you"
" Thanks, that meant a lot to me, now let's go" Bobby said walking out of his manor as Jackie gritted her teeth
" Cunning, wicked, heartless, manipulating stupid brother!" Jackie cursed as she ran after him as they drove off to college together.
