Perfect escape.

Qinwangs manor,

In his study pei jin was playing with the jade that Yusheng had given. He had prepared to the last detail as instrutcted by Yusheng. This past month beside planning he also thoroughly gave deep thought towards his feelings.

Finally he acknowledged of having romantic feelings towards Yusheng. He missed those clear eyes which was clear of impurities, missed her clear voice, her smell, he really missed being near her.

He wanted to know more about her, the aura of mystery around her seem to attract him to her. He had learned all the things she had done. He had sensed the hatred she felt towards the Zhou and mu clan. He also felt puzzled at her benevolence towards the yan's.

"No problem.. benwang has an entire year to figure out.. Yusheng..benwang wants you what to do? "

As he was in his thought, the jade lighted up blue,

Tao... he calls his personal servant also the most trusted men servant.

Your highness... replies Tao.

Is everything on place?? It won't be long now...

Replying to master, everything is in place.. just waiting for your further instruction.

Just then there was a knock on the door,

Enter.. replied pei jin with his usual cold and frightening voice.

A maid entered with a tray, just as she was about to be killed by pei jin as he abhorred presence of any female within 10 paces, specially in his study. But before he could attack that maid showed the same kind of jade he had.

Then the maid went forward placed the tray at the table and went out. Pei jin opened the tea pot and inside was a letter written by Yusheng. He could smell the same faint snow lotus with a hint of lavender from the letter.

Tao on the side felt his eyes would turn blind seeing how his cold master was smelling a letter.

This entire month his master was acting strange or should say from the time he met with the second demon lord ... no .. no..lord of the medicine valley.

Never had Tao imagined for his cold master to show interest on a girl and to top it off so young girl. Well master himself is different, eccentric and totally uncommon so would be his choice...thinking like this Tao calmed himself.

Unfolding the letter, her calligraphy like as if the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing entered their eyes..

"Turn the tray, there's a formation, place it near your feet and the person you are bringing, channel your Qi.. will transport you to my villa.. rest I have prepared. Will meet tonight after the banquet."

Tao turned over the tray placed it below their feet. He was thoroughly shocked, one has to know the formation art has been lost for decades and to see it now...

Pei jin gave it a look for moment then channeled his Qi, a blink of white light then the study was empty.

Soon the maid from earlier entered again, placed the empty teapot and cup back on the tray that was turned over the floor, and went outside towards the direction of the kitchen.

After making sure that she was not followed, she poured liquid on the drawn formation erasing it, placing each item on place. Then took of her maid clothes, and went back to the place she belonged.

While the banquet was in full swing, unknown to his enemies Pei Jin had safely arrived at the biju villa successfully avoiding the prying eyes.

Pei Jin and Tao was now in a clean room. Soon first elder entered the room.

"Qinwang this is the room prepared for you. Lord has yet to return, if tired you can rest ahead. She will be here more or less after an hour"

Master, should this one prepare the bed??...

No... benwang will wait for her.. prepare the tea.

After an hour Yusheng entered the room.

You have returned says pei jin gently placing the book down on the table that he was reading. While Tao gave a grand bow.

Hmm... why have you not gone to sleep?

Was waiting for you.

Though sounded strange Yusheng didn't ponder on the thought.

Oh.. okay have a good rest. Tomorrow we leave, you will be sharing a carriage with me... and for him.. his name is Tao informs pei jin.

Okay.. he will be sharing the carriage with valley's servants. Rest well..

After she went that gentle eye immediately turned cold and with that eye he looked to Tao..

This servant will prepare the bed.. says Tao hastily working very fast and helping pei jin on bed, he comes outside the room where a man servant was waiting for him.

Mister your room is right on this corner.. have a good rest..

While walking towards his allocated room Tao was complaining inside.. master... how could you change your face so fast.. this servant nearly died from the cold ... ah.. this servant hadn't done anything ah...

While pei jin was not happy, he wanted to talk to Yusheng a little bit more..

Hmm .. may be because of tao's presence she felt the need to leave sooner.. hmm.. next time benwang will have him thrown somewhere far..

Thus poor Tao had to hide far and cower in fear each time Yusheng visited pei jin.
