Hua Cheng felt slightly worse after trying to write his poem again and again.
Xie Lian still hasn't came back. He was getting slightly agitated. Though when He Xuan came back the same day Hua Cheng hounded him, the wind master's new fan in his hand, waving it like a mad man.
Xie Lian was fine, getting on well and somehow still unharmed, relatively. Though he has a slight limp. Though He Xuan left that part out. Hua Cheng would make everyone pay for what had happened, even if it wasn't their fault.
Though Hua Cheng found out Qi Rong was there and he hurried away to the mountain close to the heaven's. Yet He Xuan clearly wasn't there when the cottage went on fire. Qi Rong and Xie Lian were on their stomachs while the fire was roaring around them. Hua Cheng picked Xie Lian up and got him to safety, giving him a kiss on his temple before slowly getting a can of patrol and heading back in, pouring it over Qi Rong's head. Xie Lian wasn't very pleased but understood why, though Qi Rong for once was being helpful, Xie Lian needed him alive.
