(Part 2)

However, suddenly a soft, beautiful singing voice caught her ears. Turning around to face her cottage door again. Xianwu saw a little beautiful silver cage resting on the corner of the wooden pillar. Inside the cage an exquisite looking multicolored nightingale chirped vividly. "Huh?" Xianwu asked quiet perplexed. "A nightingale…?" she whispered while picking the cage up in her arms. "So beautiful…" Bingwen admired. "Who kept it here…? Such a glorious bird?" Xianwu asked slightly unsure.

Suddenly a thought hit her head, "Could it be Xiao yin? He did say in the forest of no return he will get me one when we come back. Did he forgot to mention this in the letter?" However, nothing but a sincere smile escaped her lips because she knew what she had to do now. "Thank you…" she whispered. Bingwen looked at her. "Sister, do you know who left it?" he asked. "Yes… I know. So let's keep it safe inside okay?" she told while opening the cottage door once more and hanging the cage on a well struck nail hammered inside the wooden wall. Looking at the mesmerizing nightingale one last time Xianwu Left the cottage with Bingwen.

And just like that, working in daytime and resting at night. In the company of Fa ling and Bingwen time flew by in the blink of an eye and soon ten days had passed away. "Bingwen." Xianwu called while looking at the huge crabapple tree on which Bingwen had climbed up so high thanks to Fa ling's help to pluck out some berries. "These many are just fine. You can come down now." She called slightly louder than how she usually spoke making sure Bingwen hears clearly. "Alright! I am coming down." Bingwen responded instantly jumping right that instant in front of Xianwu.

"Hehe… we got lots for this week. Thank you Bingwen." She thanked with a smile. Bingwen smiled back, "Don't worry sister. You also take care of me, so I will take care of you as well." He responded. Fa ling who felt dizzy from all the hard work he had done, wiggled peculiarly making the two of them laugh. "Alright, alright, we'll go home now." Xianwu chuckled while patting him. All of a sudden, Xianwu's head rang. From a single thought Xianwu could feel someone calling her through the transmission array.

"A transmission call? Who could it be?" she thought. "Sister… can I take the baskets back?" Bingwen asked grasping her attention. "Yes, sure. You can take them all back. Wait for me for a moment once you take them all home. I'll be right back." Xianwu told while excusing herself. Walking a few steps away Xianwu accessed the transmission call. "Hello…?" she greeted. From the array Shashou's voice answered back, "Xianwu, It's me Shashou. How are you doing?" "Yes brother Shashou I recognized your voice. I am doing fine. How about you?" she asked back.

Shashou sighed, "How do think I'll be doing?" Xianwu upon his words stared with a complex expression thinking hard "Why is he asking me that? As if I'd know…? But, he always works so hard so maybe…" "Tired?" she asked and told at the same time. Shashou however sighed, "You are not wrong at this point but neither right as well. I may be tired but I am not, more likely I can't be tired!" he responded. From his voice he looked slightly frustrated. "Haha…" Xianwu laughed awkwardly. "It must be hard…" she approved.

"It can't be helped Xianwu. It has become hard since the case of the Silent city has been solved and moreover, the attack on the Dragon Pavilion made everything much more troublesome to deal with in the Heavenly affairs hall." He told. "Attack at the Dragon Pavilion?!" Xianwu asked slightly surprised. "Yes, attack at the Dragon Pavilion. Could it be… did you not know about it?" he asked slightly surprised himself. "Haha…haha…" Xianwu Laughed awkwardly.

After all, who would even tell her? Since, everyone in the Heavenly realm just thought of her as a bad omen who was reborn to create a disaster once more. Who would dare wish to discuss something important like this with someone of her worth? "I really did not know about it brother Shashou. I'm really sorry." She told embarrassingly. "Hah… why would you apologize for not knowing about it? Since everyone is too busy in handling the fuss created in the silent city. Not many knows about it. However, these matters mostly the silent city one has already become quite a huge headache for us Heavenly Supremes that even the Heavenly Emperor plans on calling a court meeting in his palace today." "A court meeting?! What in the world really happened?" Xianwu thought distressed.

"So I was just asking for you to attend it as well." Shashou said. "Huh?! Me? But why? I- I don't think I have any use for attending something important like this…" Xianwu hesitated. "It was the Emperor's orders to call you as well. Since, the meeting is Mainly for Mo Xingchen's trial case which results are to be announced today. And since, you played a huge part in this case, Of course your presence is definitely needed there." He told. "Ah… For Mo Xingchen's case… I guess trying to run away is not an option anymore." Xianwu thought in utter defeat.

"Don't worry Xianwu, Guang Weixiao has already told me about your circumstance and I understand it very well. So you don't have to worry about anything." Shashou convinced. Xianwu smiled, "Don't worry brother. I will be there soon. Since I played an important part. I cannot run away." She told. Shashou sighed, "Don't run away Xianwu, face everything bravely. This is the Xianwu I know." Shashou advised. Xianwu smiled. "Then, I'll be waiting for you." he told instantly hanging the conversation. Xianwu smiled heavily, "I wonder if I can be like how I was before. Facing everything bravely? It feels as if I was once a character from a fairytale. Utterly unbelievable…" she whispered to herself. Soon making her way back to her little rundown cottage.

"But since it has been decided, I have to reach the Heavenly city as soon as possible. I will tell Mo Bingwen to stay here and then leave…" she thought.
