“You can break the seal you put on us!” Kung Zhong raised his voice at Yue Long. 

“Kung!” Mu Jun said quickly and looked at him. “I do not think she can do that. She doesn’t even remember JieJie taking her over.” Mu Jun looked at Yue Long who was sipping her tea. 

“taken over by? Seal? I don’t have the power to seal the abilities of immortal gods.” Yue Long said this very calmly as she closed her eyes. “Moreover, how can I have that kind of power and not be acceded. I am a mortal after all.” The table immediately became silent as the clinking of tableware stopped. Masters became ice statues as they paled a bit. Yue Long didn’t pick up her tableware anymore as if her hunger was satisfied by the tea.

“How did you- How did you_” Xiui Feng was shocked. 

“Know? I knew when I was facing the Tunshi Zhe. There are no tigers in this area.” Yue opened her eyes to look at Mu Jun who touched his half tiger mask. 

“And I have met someone already with the same feeling you all give off. Although his was a bit dense with the feeling of sadness. Like master Xing who gives off the same. So do not worry I will keep silent about it.” The smile on her face made it seem like she was a doll. 

“The feeling of a immortal god?” Asked Kung Zhong. 

“We are no longer immortals now. We are mortal because of someone who took over your body.” Xiu Feng explained bluntly as he set down his chopsticks. His gaze was full of anger. 

“Who took over my body? What is their name? What did they want? Why Me?” Those black eyes that were looking at the tiger mask now looked down into the cup that Yue was holding. The reflection in the green tea was staring back at her. To her there seemed to be a dark cloud above her in the reflection. There was a brief pause as she stared into the cup.

“Who are you Madam?” she said lightly to herself. 

The four saw how Yue long was confused. It really seemed like she did not know what was happening. Yue placed her cup down. She shook her head to get rid of the thoughts. Too many questions asked and swimming in one’s head would be harmful. 

‘Yue you are the strongest one I know’ Her fathers words echoed in her head. The smile became real as a small light had returned. ‘where are you father?’ Yue thought to herself. 

“You can rest here. So, you can go back to your homes in the mountains. I am leaving.” Yue got up from her spot. “just don’t harm my home anymore as you stay. Thank you for your help last night.” Giving a bow out of respect Yue started picking up some items for travel. 

Food, Extra Clothes, medicine. Were placed together in a bag. While Yue held on to the book of paintings in her hands. With Bianyuan by her side Yue Long left the four alone. She went to the edge of the lake. Brushing her hand across the water caused little ripples to from.

“You will always welcome me back.” She said with a smile. 

“What just happened?” asked Xiu Feng who had his mouth open in confusion. He looked to the other three that were equally confused. 

“I believe we were told that we are to go home.” Xue Xing said calmly as he drank his tea. 

“We aren’t really going to do that right?” Mu Jun watched the figure by the lake as it crouched down to feel the water. 

“We should just let her be! Being so rude to us.” Kung Zhong crossed his arms and looked away from the lake.

“Unless you can break the seal that women put on us, we need to follow that girl, or we can live the rest of our mortal life teaching others” Xue Xing glared at Kang Zhong. “Its also not her fault. As her mother who raised her died right in front of her. Yue Long cannot even bury her mother’s body, but she still keeps a smile on.” Kung Zhong shivered as the cold glare was still aimed at him. 

“it doesn’t matter anymore we will follow Yue. So, she isn’t alone. There are others after a power that even she does not know about. She might be a great ally when that war is supposed to come.” Xiu Feng got up. He thought to himself. ‘I should be respectful just this once' as he cleaned his dishes. Even if they were done quite messily. 

Turning around Xiu Feng to the three. 

“Are we following or not, hurry up she has left already.”
