Chi Meng gliding like an eagle, hops on roof after roof, trying to keep up and catch the mysterious man ! Fortunately, they meet a dead corner, the mysterious man sweats, he looks left then looks right, there's no way to go ! Just in time, Chi Meng leaps onto him and pins him down, he immediately pulls of the veil covering the mans face.
To his dismay, it was just a random man, Yi Rong had finally caught up, "Oh you caught him !" he says, "Do you know who this is." Chi Meng asks in a stern voice, "Hmm.. Oh Yah !" Yi Rong exclaims, he rumbles through his sleeves and pulls out a rumpled paper.
Chi Meng looked confused, "Here !" Yi Rong unravels the paper, ' showing the most wanted thief in town ! Reward DEAD or ALIVE : 10 gold Yuan Bao's. Chi Meng thought deeper, is this really the mysterious man... However, in the corner of his eye, he noticed the mysterious man again, the same one as before, standing on a far roof, even if he were to react now, the mysterious man could've easily ran away again. He panicked, what's going on !
But, the mysterious man shows Chi Meng a gesture, he's visibly pulls up his left hand, placing his index finger on the place where his mouth is at. Suddenly, imperial guards show up, and arrest the man, they try to award Chi Meng the 10 gold yuan bao's but he's too distracted thinking about the mysterious man. Yi Rong happily accepts them. But Chi Meng stands there in awe, he's lost in, he doesn't know what's going on.
Just as the imperial guards thanks Yi Rong and Chi Meng once more, for being able to capture the thief that they've been searching for decades, as the thief was a master at Kung Fu (功夫, Chinese martial arts) ! Out of nowhere, Chi Meng collapse to the floor, on of the imperial guards rushes over to check up on Chi Meng, however, Yi Rong has yet to move.
'Fuck, this is an amazing opened window for me to escape.' He thought, with a devilish smile across his face. Yi Rong shifts his body immediately, without a second thought ! "BOOOM !" Yi Rong fell to the ground, he'd barely took 3 steps ahead, how could that be ?
"Y-you're not fucking going anywhere." Chi Meng gruntss, with his arm reached out, grabbing onto Yi Rong's ankle with all his might, before passing out. Yi Rong's face smacked violently onto the hard rocky road. He lifts his head up slightly, "Such vulgar language you have for a heavenly officia-." he mocks Chi Meng, before passing out, without a doubt, anyone would've from such hard impact on their head.

'Ugh, where am I...' He groans, while rubbing on his sore forehead, he looks around, it seems to be Zhou Yü City, but abandoned and gloomy, the dark atmosphere sent shivers down his spine. "WHOOSH !" A huge wind flows across, sending the last few dried up leaves on the decaying trees off to another adventure. Chi Meng coughs, as dust flies up from the ground, as he fans his way through and rubs the dirt of his eyes.
However, the minute he blinked open the mysterious dark figure is standing in front of him, directly. Chi Meng panics, "WHO ARE YOU !" He screams, as he reaches to his waist, trying to pull out his sword to defend himself, but he simply can't find it, 'Fuck, where's my sword !' He panics even more, as he finally looks over, he realises his sword is missing. He starts to gaze around, trying to find his sword quickly !
"No point finding." The mysterious figure says, in a deep tone, despite the huge wind howling loudly, Chi Meng here's it loud and clearly, Terrified, he slowly turns his head over, he stares, about to piss his pants any second, "You're here all alone," the mysterious figure taunts him, taking a step forward, Chi Meng tries to move, but he's stuck !
'FUCKKK WHY CAN"T I MOVE' he cries inside, while trying to remain calm on the outside, However, the mysterious figure knows he's panicking deeper, as he's getting closer and closer, and kneels before Chi Meng, he reaches out his arm and grabs onto Chi Meng's face tightly, slightly bruising it. "You're here all alone, no escape, no friends, no freedom... And the one that you love dearly the most, has turned into your worst nightmare." The mysterious figure giggles and laughs, Chi Meng confused at first, but when the mysterious figure shifts aside, Chi Meng burst into tears.
On the other hand, showed Yi Rong being eaten alive by an anonymous creature, when the creature noticed it's being stared at, it immediately looks back and runs off. Just by that split second, Chi Meng realised, that the creature looked like his second brother, who is the oldest living brother right now. His eldest brother died immediately after he was born, his second brother was always in-charged of everything, so when their father, the Heavenly emperor, had announced that Chi Meng would take his place, you could've imagine the rage his second brother had. Since then, they never had gotten along, and avoided one another at all cost.
At last, Chi Meng could finally control himself, he lunges forward, trying to catch the creature but suddenly !
He jolts back to reality, lying on a bed, half naked, with a wet towel that has already turn hot placed on his forward, he scans around, and even pinches himself to confirm that he's conscious, but he can't stop thinking about his weird dream, 'T-that... mysterious man.... he....he sounded exactly... exactly...l-like... my guoshi.' Chi Meng thought, his eyes full of fear, as grips onto his hair, he's in deep stress !
"Hey, are you okay ?" someone says, Chi Meng shocked, he looks up, it's Lord Wang Zhi Yi ! Holding another dripping cold wet towel, "Lay back down kid, you're sick, you're practically burning like an oven stove..." Lord Wang Zhi Yi says, before pushing Chi Meng back down with just a finger. 'Have I really gone that weak ?' he panics, he can't rest properly now after that dream, he's scared and afraid. He grips onto the blanket tightly,
"SWOOSH, PLAP !"
Lord Wang Zhi Yi strips away the blanket from Chi Meng, and slaps the cold wet towel onto his forehead, "You're sick and burning up, the blanket will only add heat to you body, you'll feel very cold, but the towel will help cool you down." He says while tossing the blanket aside, Chi Meng trembling from the coldness, he was shivering like a stray cat left in the middle of the road, during winter. He wraps his arms around himself, as that's all he can do the warm him up.
"Wait... Where's Yi Rong." Chi Meng worriedly asks. "Oh, your rascal friend ? He's getting treated for his forehead injury, after you brutally smacked him onto the ground." Lord Wang Zhi Yi letting out a small giggles, envisioning Yi Rong's head getting all bandaged up that he looks like an egg wrapped up on the top ! "Oh..." Chi Meng says, "Sorry for troubling you, Lord Wang." Guilt is spilled all over his face.
"Don't worry about it, after all, I was tasked to look after the both of you." Lord Wang Zhi Yi reassures Chi Meng, while patting his head, surely they were close comrades. "My lord, the cold bath has been prepared." one of the maid walks in, Chi Meng embarrassed at his half naked body being revealed fully to a lady, he swiftly rolls up like a wheel to cover himself, "Oh, thank you Yang Li (杨丽, the maid)." says Lord Wang Zhi Yi, as he gestures he to quickly leave.
"I apologise, it seems that I've forgotten to close the door after I came in..." Lord Wang Zhi Yi apologise, but it's all too late, Chi Meng embarrassed, faces the wall and silently cry. "Hey... it's not that bad, chill..." Lord Wang Zhi Yi guilty by a bit, pokes on Chi Meng back.
