Xu Hui was taking a night stroll on the sect"s ground, the soft breeze slightly lifted the edges of the purple sect robe she had on, her dark hair was arranged in accordance to the sect"s way . Softly humming, her mind clear of mundane things . It was a moonless sky as eerie shadows surrounded the ground she walked on, most of the sect members was already in bed . She knew it was against the sect"s rule to loiter at night, but couldn"t resist the lure of the enchanting night .

All of a sudden, she felt a sense of unease settle within her, turning from side to side in hope of locating where it was coming from . Nothing, prepared her for the silver string attached to her neck, she could feel her throat beginning to constrict . Then, she felt something trickle down, as her eyes widened in fear at what it might be .

Reaching up to pull at what was squeezing her neck, only to see red stains on her fingers . Desperate to free herself, both hands kept trying to tear away the string . She thought she heard a whoos.h.i.+ng sound, but before she could turn to where it was, she felt something pierce her from behind . This time she could no longer, hide from the pain she was feeling, as she let out a sharp painful cry, falling fall on the ground, with the sword by her side which also landed in a loud thud .

She heard the movement of approaching feet, struggling to get to her feet, only to land back on the ground by a kick from the unknown a.s.sailant . Although, wincing in pain, Xu Hui was determined to stand up again . Her movement was stopped on hearing a familiar voice .

"Sister Hui, kindly remain where you are, you don"t want to be sliced to tiny pieces . "

The voice sounded gentle, but there was nothing tender in the way he acted, Xu Hui was still trying to overcome the shock she felt . With mouth trembling, she chose to address her sect brother .

"Brother Feng! . . . . . Why are you doing this?! What crime did I do, . . . . . for you to treat me this way?!"

What followed her inquiry was a forced hard laugh, which went on for quite some time . As though wiping some invincible tears from his eyes, Feng Yueming answered, "You really are such a fool! I did everything I could to make you notice me, but in your heart I"m only just a brother to you and nothing more! Now that I"m to be paired with another sect leader"s daughter, do you think I will allow your very existence to keep tormenting me?!"

On the ground, Xu Hui was slowly bleeding to death, coughing up blood, the weapons that was used on her was draining her qi, there was nothing she could do as the arrow had pierced her heart . Her eyes was beginning to blur from tears . She could not believe what she was hearing .

Did she even know this person? Or had a demon possessed his body? Yes, she did see him as her brother, but did that give him the right to harm her this way?!

Wanting to clear the evidence of what he did, Feng Yueming forcefully pulled out the arrow from her back, causing blood to gush out from the piercing . Bending on his knees, he took the string that was on her neck . Attaching it back to the blue zither from which it came from, this was his special technique .


The mark made by the string was slowly closing up, a smug smile appeared on his face, as he rose up after examining that there was nothing left that would tie him to her death .

"Sis Xu, I bid you farewell . "

With a slight bow, Xu Hui watched the sect brother that had gone through training together with her, walk away, leaving her in a pool of blood .

"One day I shall return . . . . . and when I find you . . . . . "

She could not finish her last words, as it ended in her violently coughing out blood, before the last breath left her body .Xu Hui was taking a night stroll on the sects ground, the soft breeze slightly lifted the edges of the purple sect robe she had on, her dark hair was arranged in accordance to the sects way .
