339 Alarm Bells!

Doctor Lou simply nodded and resumed his finger-palm scribbling while the Emperor silently observed him as he considered everything that had happened.

With the presence of the old man, the Emperor was no longer certain if this was simply just a dream. He glanced about the cave room and his eyes settled back on the old man and he could not help inquiring, "You still haven't told me what exactly is this place and who was that person you were talking to earlier, the one you say I "piggybacked" on and how does he know my Xing er' -"

"Your Xing er'..." Doctor Lou interrupted with a snort followed by a giggle, struggling to contain his laughter. 

The Emperor glared at him and stated, "She is mine." And then continued his questioning, "Why were Xing er' and my brother here...together? More importantly, where did they go?" He finished with a frown, the thought of the two of them together, even in a dream was upsetting, "Is this really all just a dream?"
