143 The Others

Ren watches Nova walk over to Lady Xue's courtyard with a racing heart. He pats his chest and turns back. As long as Nova says in the palace courtyards she'll be safe. He wants to keep his distance from the crazy woman though, his poor hair depended on it!

Ren walks over to a tall peach tree and leans against it as he slowly closes his eyes. He wants to be with his Master, not babysitting this crazy woman! Suddenly, the ground starts shaking! Ren jerks up and freezes when a powerful blast of energy neatly knocks him over. The barrier!

Ren goes to run towards the barrier but stops when he thinks about Nova. Would it be okay to leave her? She's with Lady Xue, she'll be safe! He needs to protect his Master! He turns and quickly disappears.
