The sun slowly sets in the small village.
The children excitedly clamoring out of the school towards their waiting parents who also got back from work.
It was a normal day for the sleepy village.
Too bad they are about to have a rude awakening.
Feng Shi stood in the shadows making sure that she remains unseen.
She had anticipated the negative outcome when she gave Grandma Gu a chance. She was too soft hearted she knows.
It was her fault for falling prey to the foolishness called pitying your enemy. Honestly, she should have known better.
Frustration welled up in her while Xiao Wang watched his master stew in her emotions and thoughts.
He knows when to step out and help and also when to fall back and let his friend and master work things up on her own.
The invincible master in his memories was someone build by experience and tampered with time. Concepts that the current Feng Shi is trying to regain. Until she gets there, he would be by her side through it all.
