Hua Ming knocked at the room of the king. Hua xiang said "come in". Hua Ming entered the room then hua xiang put his book aside and said "what happened my lady why are you here right now"
Hua Ming said "a-yuan said he heard a flute sound before bai xiang died and at the river too. He also said that he heard his name coming from a sword who tried to protect them from the ghouls. What is all this about?"
Hua xiang was confused. Pov (flute sounds and sword called his name...)
Then he remembered the day when the man came and talked about the kid's history. He was shocked.
Hua Ming asked him "do you know anything about this I don't want my a-yuan to be in any danger anymore"
Hua xiang said to her "I didn't want to tell you this but I can't hide it for long"
Then he explained what happened in their kid's past, he explained about their parents the ghost realm, the demon crystal and the beautiful horse who bought them together.
She was shocked by his answer. Then she said "d-do you think the d-demon crystal is inside a-yuan?"
Hua xiang said "yes I studied a lot about the ghost realm and the demon crystal and it is said that they still didn't find the demon crystal till now and it can awake Feng xin and the demonic flute"
Hua Ming then said "my kids really went through so much. But since the demon crystal is inside a-yuan we can't let him get into bad hands and support him till we end because after all we are a family"
Hua xiang said "yes, a family but as long as Feng xin and the flute are protecting him I'm okay with it'
Hua Ming said "but if a-yuan is the master and the next king of the underworld then why are the corpse hurting him?"
Hua xiang said "maybe someone is controlling them and I know who exactly is doing that"
Hua Ming said "who could it be?"
Hua xiang said ".... xue zhong..."
With xue yuan and his brothers
Xue zheng: a-yuan you're cheating we are not supposed to fight like that!
Xue yuan: then how should I fight big brother. You are saying this because you lost the fight and I won!
Xue Liang: you both should not fight like that because of you my hand fan is not willing to fight.
Xue yuan: I'm so sure we all will win because after all we always practice so hard for this day.
Xue Liang: yea yea after all only you come at the first place every time.
Xue yuan: but this time it's different. This time we are using our spiritual weapons.
Xue zheng: it's been evening I think we should go inside I'm so hungry.
Xue yuan and xue Liang: okay big brother.

Hua xiang said "it's my pleasure. The competition will start tomorrow so you all will stay here tonight as we do every time. So, everyone please enjoy the appetite and feel at home."
And they went and sat on their throne. Food was served to them right away. Yan clan was sitting beside hua clan. Xue yuan instead of eating started talking with yan cheng. Yan cheng was annoyed he grabbed food with his chopstick and put inside xue yuan's mouth and spoke.
"Stop talking and eat this is not a good behavior. You shouldn't talk while eating"
Xue yuan said "mm... it's so tasty.... but you really are so boring...yumm" (while chewing)
Xue liang and xue zheng laughed nervously and pulled xue yuan and started stuffing xue yuan's mouth with food and said "I'm so sorry for his behavior h-heh heh...he is always like this so please forgive him"
Xue yuan said "MhMm WhAf AwE VU HeINg (what are you saying)"
Yan cheng smiled and started eating.
