"Master, If may i be of assistance, please let me know.".

When he came out of his Chamber he saw his servants lined up outside showing respect. One of his servants came up to him holding a blood-covered sword. The servant held the sword with his two hands up and asked "Master, I have retrieved this sword in your night carriage while I was cleaning up, do you perhaps, wish this sword to be thrown out?".

He looked at the sword and remembered it belonged to the woman he had brought in, and without saying any he took the sword and tread off to his study, his servants look at their Master's fleeing figure dumbfounded, then they looked at each other, and now at the two huge doors which was their Master's Chamber, still speechless they were wanting to peep inside to see what Elder Cong was doing but discarded the idea and they all run back to their duties that are yet to be fulfilled.

Now that he had recalled what had happen at the Old Temple, he was then filled with curiosity. Every fiber of him wants to know, where did the woman came from?, where did the woman got her wound from?, how did the woman ended being at the Old Temple?, Is she another spy that had been sent to him by that Old Man. Questions started adding up, he was curious, he was inquisitive, he was "Interested" to the woman who he had just picked up after he had handled his own affairs, and NO he had never done this kinds of things in the past, he took the "Initiative" for god's sake he brought a woman to his forbidden fortress.

...

When he reached his study room he then locked himself inside and examined the sword that he was holding in his left hand, he grabbed a piece of cloth and dip it to glass of water then he started to wipe off the blood away from the blade of the sword, most of the blood already clotted and was a bit hard to remove so, he used some methods to remove it and successfully wipe the blood off completely.

He sat down with his feet crossed and started to inspect the object that he was holding, he saw some unfamiliar characters along the blade, that added another question on his list he then stands up and started rummaging his collection of books.

He kept on looking for more information that he could gather from the sword, that can probably help him know where the girl came from and probably lessen the question and tension that has been building up inside him since he saw that woman.

...

When his master left his Chamber An Yu look at the huge doors dumbfounded, then his master's words slowly sinks in. An Yu looked carefully at the wounded woman who was lying on his Master's bed and sighed "What's going on master's mind? bringing a woman, and placing it on his bed?" he mumbled to himself.

He did what he ought to do, but cause him great amount of time, based from the woman's condition she requires a lot of medical attention, so does blood which she has loss due to her wound. It took him 'til the next day, he was still mending the woman's wound who was now at a better state.

An Yu was dead tired but stayed to finish the woman's wound and was stilled when he saw a familiar mark, a mark that you could only see to a Huli Jing, he then asked himself "Why would Master bring this vixen fox into his own chamber? No, Master would never bring a woman to his bed especially a Huli Jing like her!.", An Yu shook his head profusely he was full of question but remembering his master's words An Yu began to continue what he was doing in the first place, then after he had finish he then storm out of his Master's Chamber, and looked for his Master.

...

An Yu was looking for his master he then remembered his master's words the other night, he tread off to his master's study. While on his way he heard gossips from the servants talking about the "Woman" that their master brought in the other night, saying the woman was beautiful, pretty, attractive, charming, and so on, he walk pass them as if he hadn't heard any and had only one goal in mind to "inform master what he had just found out!", thoughts were bubbling up inside him, he was restless.

He was nearing the study when he heard noises from the outside, it sounded like someone was ransacking his master's study, he reach for the knob of the door and discovered that it was locked, now he was sure that something was not right that he had to take precautions, he was prepared for his assault but was stilled when he his master came out of his study looking haggardly and restless, his master looked at him for a couple of seconds then grab his collar and dragged him inside his master's study, after he had been dragged inside, his master locked the door once again and began to looked for something, as if it was like his master's life depend on it.

While he was stilled by his master's actions he was rooted in his place, staring at his master he was dumbfounded. An Yu was shocked from his master's actions and finally asked"Master, may I ask what are you looking for?" his master didn't even took a glance at him and continued to compile notes, books and other things filled with information. He sighed and once again asked"Master, If may i be of assistance, please let me know.".

He was in suspense not knowing what his master's actions, well to start off his master wouldn't even talk to him, his used to his master's coldness but this is too much!, second his master's study was turned upside down, knowing his master he doesn't like things messy and dirty in short he was a "neat freak", and lastly his master was restless, his master could never looked like this, not in a hundred years not even when they were intruded by some spies sent by that Old Man.

...

An Yu was still in his spot and didn't move an inch, sweat trickling down his forehead he didn't even bother wiping it off he was preoccupied, staring at his master who seems to be "restless" compiling whatever it is and not talking, he was on edge he didn't know what to do, he didn't know what his master was doing, he felt he was going crazy the thoughts that have been bubbling inside him earlier was building up so much that he could explode.

An Yu was now holding a thread, a thread that could snap if this keeps up, he's on the brink of self-destruction. Seconds turn into minutes, making him wary then he heard his master's firm voice "Sit down." he gladly obliged hearing his master's voice already save him from any further mental damage.

An Yu felt ecstatic but the feeling was short-lived, seeing his master's facial expression he knew that his master wanted to discuss something, and that 'something' is of an important matter. An Yu is now moping, he didn't know what he should feel at the moment he was clearly having first world problems. Just by looking at An Yu's brooding face, he didn't waste any more second on keeping An Yu in suspense he then place the sword onto An Yu's lap and placed the compiled notes, books and other records containing information about the sword in front of An Yu.

An Yu felt a coldness from the object that was resting onto his lap, he looked at the compiled records that was placed in front of him by his master, who was compiling it earlier when he was dragged in, he now looked at his master with a questioning look as if he wanted to ask his master's action but cannot find the words for it.

He clearly understood what An Yu was trying indicate so, he sighed looking at his assistant then soon spoke "I want you to look through these records, clarify it. And also examine the sword on your lap, I want results this afternoon." he blurted out in one go without even breathing in. He was looking at An Yu who was staring at him, dumbfounded. He then took a deep breath and said with a firm tone "If you have question better say it now before i leave.".
