A servant suddenly appears, “uh..” his eyes widen at the scene. He apologizes keeping his head low, bowing down, not daring to look up. He still managed to say what he came for. “First Disciple, Second Disciple. Please forgive my intrusion”

Tai Taeyang, little annoyed, “it’s okay” he pauses. “What happened?” 

Servant, “First Disciple. The king... fainted.” 

Tai Taeyang, “what? The king? Elder uncle... he fainted?” He looks at Tai Tai, “let’s go.”

Tai Taeyang and Tai Tai walks towards The General Hall. The servant, who came to notify was following closely behind the two. 

Inside the king’s bed chamber. 

“Brother...brother, are you okay? Brother are you okay?” Panting, Tai Ruo asks the fainted king, helping him lay down on the bed.

Eyes closed, Tai Yuan, “y..yes i..am okay.”

Bursting the door open, Tai Taeyang and Tai Tai enter. Tai Tai goes off to Tai Yuan’s side. Tai Taeyang goes to his father for details. 

Tai Tai, “uncle, uncle are you okay ? Do you need water?” Tai Yuan with much difficulty holding his chest, nodes his head saying yes.

Tai Taeyang asks his father about what happened and why did his elder uncle faint? To reply, Tai Ruo says, “big brother was feeling pain in his chest and was trying to endure himself. Couldn’t do it and when he was about to call me for help, he fainted. I rushed over, and helped him go over to his bed to rest.”

Tai Tai hears his father, Tai Ruo, turns to  Tai Yuan, “uncle why are you feeling pain in your chest?” Tai Yuan, “I.. I... don’t know” with much panting. 

Tai Tai sees the king’s difficulties to talk due to the pain. “Relax, calm down uncle, you don’t have to talk now, I will calm you down” as he says this he starts passing his spiritual energy to Tai Yuan. Keeping his hands on the king’s chest, index finger and the middle finger pressing on a certain acupuncture point on the king’s chest. 

The king, Tai Yuan seems to have calmed down a bit. He opens his mouth to speak, “it seems like I... the time has arrived much faster than I’ve expected.” “I want to let you all know something.”

Tai Ruo shifts closer to his elder brother, “what is it brother ?”

Tai Yuan, “this is about the rumors. It will be nice if you let the rumors be like this and not deal with it. It will be nice if everything stays secret.” 

Hearing this, Tai Ruo jerked of his place and says loudly, “what? How can you say like that brother?”

Tai Yuan feeling relaxed by Tai Tai’s spiritual energy. “I am doing the right thing. I don’t want them to know about the fightnight. I don’t want anyone to know about that or everything will be in danger. Please... help me keep my mouth shut.” “Let those rumours be. Then no one will come to ask me about... about that night. I’ve survived that night, I know everything but I don’t want them to know.” 

Tai Ruo, “but brother... how can you say this ? If these rumors stay like this and doesn’t get in control, you will be hated for a long time by everyone. Please allow me to stop the rumors from spreading.” Bowing his head down. 

Tai Taeyang agrees with his father, “yes and if this keeps happening no one will listen to you and will try to dethrone you. Even the people of our sect will start loathing you.”

Tai Tai removing his hand from the king’s chest, seeing the king calm now, “uncle. Please think it through.” 

Tai Yuan, looks at Tai Tai, “it’s okay Tai Tai. I have been thinking about this for a long time. But I couldn’t take any action. Thanks to the locals who started the rumor. We must find him and reward him.” 

Tai Tai, worrying. 

Tai Yuan, “it will be good, if they believe that I  have been infected by an infectious disease, then no one will come to question me.” 

“Brother sooner or later somebody will bring this matter up, that time what will you do ?” 

“I will look after that. Tai Tai will help me, right Tai Tai ?” Looks at Tai Tai smiling. Tai Yuan, the king loves Tai Tai very dearly. He is an elderly man much older than his own younger brother, Tai Ruo. Even though Tai Tai is an orphan and his actual birth parents are not known, Tai Yuan adores Tai Tai as his own son. 

Tai Tai hums hesitatingly, looking at Tai Taeyang. Tai Taeyang sees Tai Tai hesitating, so he nods in approval. Tai Tai nods back. 

Tai Yuan, “now you all can go to bed. It’s already 8 pm.” 

Going to bed at 8 pm is The Sun sect’s rule. Tai Ruo and the others knows it very well. Tai Ruo without another word he wents off, “take care brother.”

Tai Tai insisted on staying, but the king refused and told him to not sacrifice his sleep for his sake. Tai Yuan, the king looks at Tai Taeyang and Tai Tai, “you both need more sleep than I do. You both are our future. We can’t afford to lose you.” 

Tai Tai with a small smile, “fine then, Ming let’s go back to our rooms.” 

All three of them exits from the king’s bed chamber.
