"Brother Xian…" Yu Bin called out, startling him.
"Y..yes?" Xian Chen answered in a breath.
"How did you die?"
"What do you mean?"
" I mean why did you die?… what did you say before dying?" Yu Bin asked, coming closer and startling Xian Chen.
"Why will you ask him how he died when you are the one killing him? Aren't you the one who heard his last words? What are you trying to do princess?" Longwai yelled, annoyed by her questions.
"I am not the one who killed him, so stop saying nonsense" Yu Bin shouted angrily, shocking Xian Chen.
"How can you say that? He was stabbed and was just you in that room, if not you then who? Stop lying Princess " Longwei gritted his teeth
"I see…. So…. Was Yingyue. No wonder she kept asking where her master was. I was wondering at that time why you kept asking where master was when she was dead for the last two years but I thought you were melancholic and didn't give much importance. Xian Chen mumbled and the two stopped talking.
" hm… " Yu Bin nodded slightly and Longwei got startled.
"Then why was Yingyue in your hand?" Longwei asked surprised, he was sure he saw Yingyue in Yu Bin's hand before dissipating.
"After brother Xian told me he is sorry, I thought he is sorry because he killed everyone so I got out in the garden, after a while I heard Yingyue shouting and I run inside but brother Xian was dead and Yingyue was looking mad so I shout at her then shifted. Then you entered and saw me. It's true, it's my fault that Xian Chen died because Yingyue is my sword but I didn't kill him with my hands. " Yu Bin explained looking at the two when the door opened and Bao Fang entered with another 2 bowls of soup.
"So, you didn't kill him, " master asked, sighing." There are so many misunderstandings between you all huh " she added smiling.
"Hm…" both Xian Chen and Yu Bin answered in a voice.
"You both are so stupid," Bao Fang said moving her head disapproving. Maybe I should tie you again " she added and the two looked at her surprised.
So, you didn't kill him, " Bao Fang asked, sighing." There are so many misunderstandings between you all huh " she added smiling. It was good to know that Yu Bin was not the one who killed him.
"Hm…" both Xian Chen and Yu Bin answered in a voice.
"You both are so stupid," Bao Fang said moving her head disapproving. Maybe I should tie you again " she added and the two looked at her surprised.
"Master…" the two called out in a voice. How is she even thinking of tying them? They were not kids anymore.
"Ok, ok, Yu Bin…I am really curious, how did you die? " Bao Fang asked curiously.
The angel promised her that no one will be able to kill Yu Bin, but, if she is here now that means she died.
"I committed suicide…" Yu Bin said, looking down and everyone gasped in shock.
"But how is it possible to be reborn again? And you still have your powers, when we were in the forest you used your powers, remember? " Xian Chen asked, looking at Yu Bin and then at his master incredulously.
"I don't know when I died there was a man in black who told me that I should be sent to hell because I suicided but that some person fooled him into making a promise that I will be reborn whatever will happen, " Yu Bin said looking at them all.
"Oh, he was wearing black now. I suppose he will wear black for sinners. But how do you remember, didn't you drink the tea?"
"Master, don't talk nonsense, who will dare to not drink it? Of course, I drink it, just that when I saw Longwei in the forest I remembered all. I don't know why. No person in this world will dare to not drink, believe me." Yu Bin tried her best to convince her master that she didn't do anything crazy.
"I didn't…" Bao Fang said, pointing at herself and smirking proudly.
"Me neither…" Xian Chen said, pointing at himself and going beside Bao Fang who smiled at him proudly while Yu Bin was looking at them dumbfounded.
"How… " Yu Bin pointed her finger towards the two who after looking at each other turned around to face her smiling proudly.
"Then…." She added pointing to Bao Fang.
"Yes….I made him promise to let you be reborn again whatever will happen.
" Master…. You really are something else…" Yu Bin said dumbfounded. She felt like she remained without words.
After talking for a while and clarifying all the misunderstandings, Bao Fang left, leaving Xian Chen and Yu Bin to catch up on the lost time.
"Why?....." Yu Bin asked Xian Chen after Longwei and Bao Fang left.
"What do you mean why?"
"Some time ago I thought it was a dream but now I remember clearly. Brother Xian… why did you never tell me that you didn't kill them and just let me hurt yourself."
"Because it was my fault. Maybe I didn't hold the weapon that killed them, but because of me, your parents and master died. If I didn't leave that evening under any circumstances, the master wouldn't have gone to the castle, or I would have gone with her and I could somehow save them, but I left and the tragedy happened." Xian Chen said turning around, tears falling down his cheeks.
"You know that's not true, brother Xian, if you would be there then you would die that night " Yu Bin said, getting out of bed and hugging him from behind.
"Yu Bin…I'm sorry…" Xian Chen said, grabbing her hands that were enveloping his waist then turning around he hugged her tighter than any time.
"Was not your fault, there is nothing to forgive. You should forgive me, I didn't keep my promise, I couldn't protect you…I couldn't protect anyone…. I'm always too late…." Yu Bin said through her sobs.
"Stop talking nonsense…no one blames you because everyone knows that you did your best to protect the kingdom, your people. I will always be thankful to you for that time when I disappeared, you passed through so many dangerous situations just to find me, and I'll always be indebted to you."
"Brother Xian, now you are the one who talks nonsense."
"Right?..." He said while hugging and smiling happily.
"Brother Xian…."
"Hm?"
"Can I call you A-Xian?" Yu Bin asked him, her cheeks becoming crimson red.
"Oh…why?" Xian Chen asked in surprise.
"Because I haven't seen you as a brother for a long time." Yu Bin said, ashamed, and her heart started beating strongly.
"Oh…. Then how do you see me now? Xian Chen asked, intending to tease her and get out of their embrace.
" I….."
"You…" he said, approaching more and more till their lips collapsed on each other in a soft kiss that in no time transformed into a hungry kiss.
