In order to speed up the progress to lure Yue Jian out of her hiding, Xi Yan once in a while used Yue Jian's identity and disguised herself as her for the purpose to create disturbance and increased the hatred the humans feels against Yue Jian. (The Government) promised to hand out a huge amount of money as a reward for catching Yue Jian (Xi Yan disguised as Yue Jian). It doesn’t matter if she would be hand her over living or in a death state. (Literally it says she can be intact or severally damaged.) In order to get the reward sum in the end everyone went and searched for her to kill her. When some lecherous men try to tie her up, she loosed her temper and shouts out a lot of insults which are unpleasant to hear and describes all the ugly sides of humans. In the end all this people got killed by her but Xi Yan also reached the achievement she wanted to attend.

“You low and weak beings don’t you know your place? You all said vampires are tyrannical and cruel beings because of their instincts and superiority powers but look at yourself, which qualifications do you have to suggest vampires are awful beings? Ah – I unexpectedly feels so relieved that I changed into a vampire because just to think that I and an ugly and low species like you could be the same makes me feel to vomit…’’ After all she questioned herself, was it my luck or misfortune to change into a vampire? She doesn’t know this for sure but then she begins to laugh bitterly and couldn’t say something again.

It was only natural that after some time Xi Yan would meet Yue Jian personally, so they unexpectedly bump into each other. I could write a lot of words about this meeting unfortunately I can’t, however in the end both could nearly escaped but Yue Jian's soul and body broke into pieces a long time ago. Mei Yue Yin may be able to cure the wounds on her body but it’s impossible to cure her already shattered heart. (Even if Ge Chen told her to go to Sabbat, the only impression in her head leaved for Sabbat is that they are cruel and cunning because Yue Jian has forgotten Zhao Yan, She thought that Fan Le Lao would never help her.) Therefore Yue Jian flees to a small village far away from the rest of the civilization. There was a farmstead like building with an apple tree. Since she hasn’t eaten something for quite a few days she got really hungry when she looks at the apples in the tree so she goes over there and fetched some apples which she immediately gobbles up. But in her mind she’s aware that the apples of this tree must have an owner. No matter what reasons she would have to fetch the apples and eat them, what she has done is considered as stealing.

Even though right now she doesn’t want to be infected with these thoughts in her mind she then remembered back then where she was in the forbidden sphere Set once said to her that she not really care for others but rather she only want a clear conscience in her heart and that all people entrap their selves in their mind. Has she done again something wrong? In the end she begins to hesitate but in order to survive she surrender to her justified mind and has stolen a lot of someone’s apples. She eats the apples rashly and tears flushed out her eyes at the same time. Now in this moment she got discovered by an old lady. In a flash she was on the alert that she would get caught in this split second. Now she has two options rather she would try to escape and run immediately or she would kill this old lady. Any way all people would think of themselves in the end and she killed a lot of people before so it wouldn’t be very difficult to get rid of this old woman. But to her surprise this old lady doesn’t yell and label her as a witch instead she said to her with an astonished face: “Oh, dear why are you looking so sloppy! From where did you come from that you run here to this place? Don’t worry, I will go into the house and bring you some pastries to eat.’’

First Yue Jian looks distracted and was puzzled then suddenly big teardrops are rushing down her checks. Thereupon the old lady asked her why she’s crying and if someone has bullied her. She even begins to think that this poor girl could be abducted by others which wanted to sell her. Then Yue Jian said: “I’m crying because I have stolen something, I….I have stolen your apples…’’ hearing her answers the old lady begins to laugh and said: “My, what an honest girl you are!’’

The old lady picked up Yue Jian and took her inside her home where she gave her something to eat. Because this village lies far away from other civilizations and also because of the fact that she’s old she doesn’t like to watch TV or read any newspapers. So the old lady clearly doesn’t know who exactly Yue Jian was. Her only home was this farm with an apple orchard she told Yue Jian that she has a son who works in another province. As thanks for the food the old lady offered to her Yue Jian would like to do something for the old lady to express her gratitude. Then the son of the old lady came back home finally. When he catches side of Yue Jian he immediately yells out the word: “witch!’’ He wants to rush out the house and call out for others to help him. The old lady holds him back and yells to him, he shouldn’t do that. Then her son told her hastily what criminal accusations other people blame on this girl. When he finished his story his mother’s expression was baffled but even knowing this she stubbornly wants to let Yue Jian to stay because Yue Jian never caused harm. Her Son wants to explain his story again but the old lady interrupts him and told him her reason. “I never have seen a terrifying and cruel monster like you describes her, would cry bitterly and have a guilty conscience because she eat someone others apples!’’

Since working conditions in this village are not so well so a lot of the village dwellers went to the towns in the other provinces in order to find work there, therefore only a few people are still living in the village now. After they saw Yue Jian, everyone of the remained village dweller feels that she’s a pure but also pitiful girl and wants to offer her shelter. At the beginning the old lady’s son was very against the idea to let Yue Jian stay but after he observed her for a while and instead of seeing she would harm someone he could see how she help with the work on the farm so in the end he accepted her staying. However all the time Yue Jian kept in her mind with what crimes shes accused with and the things she must do. She is very grateful towards the old lady and the village dweller that’s why she doesn’t wish for them to get involved in her matters. In the end she comes to the conclusion it would be better to leave. Over the time she stayed by her, the old lady get to know Yue Jian better and she could feel that something must be worry Yue Jian. When Yue Jian wants to go, because she likes the old lady she decides to tell her everything what she experienced until now to her. But the old lady breathed out a deep sigh and said to her.

“Oh child, you don’t need to tell this old lady here all the details, I can’t make a sense out of them but what I know for sure is that you suffer some hardships and your way is not an easy one and when you really must go in order to fulfill something important, then I will not prevent you from going. And in case you could become hungry again, feel free to come back and fetch some apples, so this doesn’t count as stealing anymore!” Before she takes her leave, the old lady gave a big wrapped package to Yue Jian. There was a time where she lost the path of the way in her live and doesn’t know where she should go but this time now she has a goal. She finally decides to go to Sabbat.

The above mentioned parts included some key elements of a norm to explain the whole in and outs would used up too much words But just in order to explain this norm in short would be enough to proves how important it is. Just imagine if you would endure something for a long time again and again, it doesn't matter how strong you are, one day sooner or later you will collapse and break. In the past Yue Jian once said she wished to be benevenolent toward this world, in return the world would also gives her benevolence back. (Like tit for tat, be kind to others and they will also kind to you.) But in the end the outcome she received from the world was something different than she has expected, so right now she begins to doubt, did she really make a mistake or is it the world itself she has mistaken? She even begins to marginalize her own borderline and gradually separate herself from her own aspirations.

Before, she originally trusted other people but after the events she experienced she will not trust anyone anymore so that no one can pull her back. (If you don’t trust others no one can hurt you.) This world contains every kinds of cruelty but also have kindness. When we are fully aware of these worlds cruelty then for us it's even more than praiseworthy to treasure something that appears as warm. You can also see the same happened before when you consider that the common people only want to kill Yue Jian because they have a sick person in their home for this person they needs urgently the money (as a reward for catching Yue Jian) to treat the illness of this patient. You can also consider that the people inside the village are only afraid of Yue Jian would only act kind towards them to hide her true motives (think of a wolf in sheepclothes). We can also say that every single matter really isn't absolute. Everything requires balance. To be exactly it's necessary to find the right balance in them. At this point Yue Jian also grows very much. Her turning point is when she accomplishes the trouble Isis and the others continuously caused her and made her own choice. Everyone decides if they would choose to be kind or to be callous. As I said before this norm depend on everyone's own heart.

Concerning the matter about change, for Xi Yan it's more than important to change and this will happen in a village where Yue Jian was before. After Xi Yan takes up Yue Jian's trail in the end it leads her into a village where Yue Jian stayed before. (Xi Yan thought Yue Jian would be still in this village) While she was busy with tracking down Yue Jian's whereabouts she witnessed how a little girl was bullied by a group of boys. The little girl tried her best to hit back at them but she was unable to defeat the boys. After she couldn't stand to look at this scene anymore she scared away the young boys. The little girl expressed her thanks to Xi Yan and said: "Thanks to your interfering action Miss, they stopped to harass me.” Xi Yan was puzzled by her answer and asked the little girl: "Don't you recognize me?" (Aki: On this point I must explain I already said before that Xi Yan used Yue Jian's identity in order to create a disturbance so that she can investigate whether or not Yue Jian would show up at this place. So in order to make her disguise perfect it was also necessary for her to copy Yue Jians speech pattern.) “I'm absolutely sure that you are not her.” while the little girl said this Xi Yan keeps silent then she has no other choice as to admit defeat and ask the little girl how she could differentiate them and find out about her disguise.

While the little girl prepared to answer Xi Yan's question she cheerfully begins to laugh. The little girl wasn’t aware of the concrete circumstances Yue Jian was in but the she only feels that the person standing before her and looks exactly the same as Yue Jian gives her a cordial and dear feeling. “The other people said that big sister Yue Jian would be a witch and in the beginning I also believed their words because when Yue Jian has witnessed that I was bullied she hasn’t helped me and just stands there and watched the scene, she also not take her leave.“ When she remembers this moment back then the little girl raised a smile and said to Xi Yan: "Back then I asked her if she has seen enough of this nice show and if she doesn't feel ashamed! Then she came close to my side and used her head to bump against my own head!"

The little girl also said she asked me back then for which reason the boys would bully me (Aki: Here I must declare that I don't think a lot about this part but in short I can say that the little girl hasn’t do something wrong it’s just like the adults have not a good opinion of her and also punished her. The boys have no own opinion about this matter and just copy the behavior which the adults have towards the little girl. that's all. Yue Jian can understand the little girl’s feelings because she also was wronged and falsely denounced from the humans.) After she bumped her head into the head of the little girl Yue Jian stroked gently the forehead of the little girl and told her "I thought your head must be really hard when I stand there and witnesses the scene." (Because the little girls head looks really big.) At the beginning the little girl thoughts that Yue Jian would also make fun of her but to her surprise Yue Jian told her that the little girl's strength and the boys' strength are too different. She definitely couldn't compare with them.

So in her case it would be better when the little girl tried her utmost to run far away to a point where she would safe and search for some stones she can throw at the boys’ faces and stomachs. When the boys are distracted she should go to them and use her head to knock them out. After she finished her explanation Yue Jian begins to teach the little girl how to throw the stones. (She taught the little girl the same way how Ge Chen taught her to throw the knifes back then.) The little girl tried out to throw stones but it was too difficult for her and she was a bit depressed because she couldn't make much effort so she begins to complain at Yue Jian and ask for what reason she not came straight to her and help her. Yue Jian stopped for a moment then she said.

“I could manage to help you this time but what comes after that? What’s with the times you get bullied in the future? You need to get strong by yourself, or do you will always depend that others will come to help you?" After she finished telling Xi Yan about her meeting with Yue Jian the little girl once again thanked Xi Yan for her help. “Thank you big Sis, I know you did this for me but I can settle this on my own, so for the next time you catch sight of me being bullied I wish you wouldn't get involved in my problems.” Hearing thus familiar words Xi Yan only stand there and looked distracted. Seeing her baffled expression the little girl mischievously laughed again. "Well, in case I’m unable to defeat them I will come to you and ask for your help, hehe!" Xi Yan also laughed then she got close to the ear of the little girl and secretly said:"This big Sis here can also teach you a good move for defense. In truth all boys have a weak point. Believe me if you throw a stone at this point it will be more than effective for sure~." (Aki: I'm more than sure you all know what point she means.)

There is a very simple principle which said; give a man a fish and you feed him for a day but when you teach him how to fish you will feed him for a lifetime. The little girl needs to learn how she can protect herself so she can use this knowledge for her lifetime. This is also something Xi Yan longed for. (She wanted to get stronger) She begins to recall once she was a person who continuously stubbornly just protect herself she even was disgusted with herself back then. But unconsciously she has forgotten about this principle. Xi Yan knew now that Yue Jian came around this village but however something caused her to leave this place.

(Aki this meeting is for Xi Yan a very important turning point she also conveys indirect Yue Jian's way of looking into Xi Yans and Zhao Yans actions. (refers to Zhao Yans and Xi Yans way how they solved things selfishly without Yue Jian's consent). Xi Yan faced every kind of humans and vampires and each one of them has had their own standpoint for fighting and scheming against each other. There was a time in the past where Xi Yan find herself like the frog on the bottom of the well (This one is an Idiom which means she felt narrow minded and wouldn’t listen to the opinions others have so she’s unwilling to consider other alternatives.) It's more than obvious that Xi Yan reached a very high point of status. However compared with her low standing in the past she now feels even more tired and unwell. (Refer to her pain suffering) she also feels the same helpless and sorrowful feelings Zhao Yan must also have had felt back then. Even if she already has forgotten Zhao Yan, Xi Yan could now understand Yue Jian's way of thinking throughout the advice Yue Jian has given to the little girl.)

At this point Xi Yan looks for her own balance (in the dark) in order to find peace for herself. Later she also experienced a lot so that she decides to have trust in the person she loves. Thereupon she goes to Osiris and laid her cards on the table. Under these circumstances Osiris has no other choice as to admit that Yi Sai's words are true. In this time Xi Yan once again heard the familiar name; Nangong Zhao Yan. Even if she couldn't remember Zhao Yan yet, she merely realizes some part of events from the whole story. She now could understand why exactly she couldn't get away from these nightmares. Instead of knowing about Zhao Yan let them go away they even changed and get more intense but for now she chooses to accept this fact. Both Osiris and Xi Yan also starts to speak about Yi Sai at this point she believes that Osiris begins to change back into Sorisi. But in truth he already turned completely into Osiris. Next it will follow a view to Yue Jian's side where we get to know what happened when she meets Fan Le Lao but before we get to this point I need to say something about both, Fan Le Lao's and Zhao Yan's and also Yi Sai and Fan Le Laos circumstances. First it will follow the farewell of Zhao Yan and Fan Le Lao.

Fan Le Lao and Zhao Yan's part

At the time Zhao Yan gets a surprise attack, it already was dark before her eyes so that she doesn't know that it was Xi Yan who killed her with her own hands and has stolen her Mei Yue Yin. The moment Zhao Yan tumbles and was about to fall to the ground Fan Le Lao rushed to her side and carried her in his arms. She thought that Fan Le Lao was the one who let her down to the ground it was too difficult for her to speak so she hardly asked him: "Was it a success?" Fan Le Lao bites and grinds his teeth’s then he answered her: "Yes, it was a success...." "Then....I can finally be at ease and rest." She raced together all her strength and moved towards his ear and said to him: "All this time I couldn't say it before but right now in the end I'm finally able to say to you ….Fan Le Lao...I also... love you…." Soon after she confessed her feelings to him she slowly closed her eyes (forever).

Fan Le Lao was aware that Zhao Yan wanted to protect her sisters until the end she even arrange this plan it was here dream to fulfill this plan that's why he helped her to fulfill her dream so that Zhao Yan can rest in peace when her plan was successfully. (That's why he lied to her). Before her funeral, Fan Le Lao was the only person who day-to-day sat by her side and talked to her corpse. Zhao Yans dead body rotten away even more rapid than ordinary corpses. Fan Le Lao tried out many different methods to prevent her corpse from rotting away but nothing was useful. There was no way to conserve her body so that her body would be kept intact. Fan Le Lao feels powerless and also so helpless that he sheets tears in silent. He came to the conclusion that he add enough full to the fire and decides to bury her. He knew this was the best way he could choose.

Yi Sai and Fan Le Lao's ABC plan

Plan A: be honest to Zhao Yan and promise to her to be sincere even if they can't obtain Mei Yue Yin in the end, they can't let Sabbat suffer damage. To prevent this from happening Yi Sai should try a research throughout Zhao Yan's body (make a use of the goddess genes inside her body) But Yi Sai never approve of this plan because there wouldn’t be a lot of benefit for the Sabbat in the end. That’s why they came up with two other plans.

Plan B: train Xi Yan well and cause her to hate Zhao Yan so that she would snatch away Zhao Yans Mei Yue Yin and let her and Yue Jian confront in the end, then Sabbat will win the completed Mei Yue Yin. But Fan Le Lao never approved of this plan not really because he doesn’t want that Zhao Yan would die rather because he was fully aware of how much Xi Yan hates Yi Sai so moreover she may have obey him in the past but furthermore Yi Sai could never completely tame Xi Yan. She still would (as the times before) think with greatest extent about a way to get her vengeance towards Yi Sai. In case she would get the completed Mi Yue Yin it’s highly possible that Xi Yan would use it straightforward to kill Yi Sai. However it’s obvious that with this plan the Sabbat would obtain the greatest advantage out of this (Because Xi Yan is a vampire created by Yi Sai she belongs to his clan and also to Sabbat) But with this plan Yi Sai's life would possibly on the line. (As a result of this Yi Sai asked Fan Le Lao in Chapter 122: Did you do this because of me?) However Fan Le Lao himself would prefer to go with the last one, plan C. (In case it’s not clear, Yi Sai approved this plan because it would bring the most benefit to Sabbat.)

Plan C: Fan Le Lao would try to bewitch Zhao Yan and change her way of thinking so that he would lead Zhao Yan to kill Yue Jian so that she would obtain the completed Mei Yue Yin which will be useful for the Sabbat in the end. In order to achieve this goal Fan Le Lao must get Zhao Yan to understand that her own life is important (Use every kinds of way to treat her well) and that she shouldn’t throw away her own life for the likes of her ungrateful sisters, it would be a waste on them. (Cause a disharmony in Zhao Yans and Xi Yans relationship even goes to this extent where both would never talk again) however the plans Yi Sai and Fan Le Lao prefer have one thing in common, both plans incite to cause a disharmony between Zhao Yan and Xi Yan so Yi Sai and Fan Le Lao were the ones who were behind this scheme and triggered everything in the end.

Everything what they started would come to an end, since the blood vow already was settled up, the outcome couldn’t also no longer changed. Zhao Yan must die without doubt. Because Fan Le Lao was fully aware of this outcome he comply with Zhao Yan's last wish, In order to rescue Yi Sai, Fan Le Lao also believes that it would not cause a big damage to the Sabbat when he decides (instead of let Xi Yan have Mei Yue Yin, he would prefer to have Yue Jian's help to rescue Yi Sai) to help Yue Jian to get the completed Mei Yue Yin.

(This part doesn’t contain plotline so it will be just a summary) Aki tell their readers that she originally intends to add a new character in the storyline but it was never confirmed. It would be a child which temporary replaces Yi Sai's position. She also said that this child was created by Yi Sai and is an almost perfect creation like Yi Sai himself. The reason why it looks like a child is because Yi Sai had little companions appearance on his mind when he created this puppet. This Child would in the following plotline help Fan Le Lao a lot and support Fan Le Lao and Yue Jian in their upcoming fights with his technology skills. He would be not like Yi Sai and ridicule other people but since he is a puppet he would be a bit expressionless and also would like to absorb every kind of knowledge. The words he would used the most when he speaks it would be something like “For what reason or why it is like this way?” But because of his curiosity he would put up his nose into sabbats subordinates personally business. As a result out of his behavior the subordinates go and confront Fan Le Lao with this matter who feels troubled by this. Then Aki said before she said she intends to reduce the plotline so she may be able to continue to introduce this new character.
