8#New teammate

Xavier was busy looking for Xiaobo so he did not pay attention to the shivering girl who was staring at him continuously. When Xavier looked in the direction of the girl, his reaction was the total opposite. He was too happy to see and even his eyes got moist.

" He... He is hap-happy? What is going on? "

" Tian shi be alert. Don't let him confuse you. "

Tian Shi just stared at Xavier while Xavier was blooming with happiness like he found his list family. He rushed towards Lian and held her hand.

" You... you are for real?!! For REAL? " whispered Xavier while still hiding her hands.

Lian just gave an awkward smile and gulped while removing her hands from his hold.

" I am sorry. I was just overwhelmed. Can we talk.... umm privately? "

Lian looked at Wei who was getting scolded by Ming. She loudly cleared her throat and that caught the attention of two.

" We need to talk. Privately. So.... We will discuss it in my room. It won't take much time. "

Without waiting for an answer, she went up the stairs signaling Mr. Xavier to follow her. When they reached she closed the room, locked it. From the middle of her palms, green wines along with shimmers binded Xavier making him stay in one place unable to move.

" Wh-what is all this? "

" Tell me everything honestly. How can you an orchid transform into a human? No one knows about you. I was the first one. "

" I am also confused about all this. This is the first time in my life that I witnessed someone like me. You don't know how happy I am. "

Seeing that Xavier poses no threat, remove the wines. Xavier was still smiling as he was very happy. He would even say this is the happiest day in his whole boring life.

" What happened to you? How come you grew into a human even when you were outside Rostebe? "

" What is a Rostebe? I don't know anything like that. I just grew up in the Infinito forest. I had some impurities inside me so I was transformed into an old man. I did not anything about the human realm. So I became a beggar and precisely a mute beggar. Slowly, slowly I learned human language and then knew all the things that humans do to survive. I needed food or else my true form would appear and so there was no option than to be a beggar. After an accident where I saved an injured child's life with my knowledge of herbs, they called me a doctor. From then till now I have been doing this job. "

" Ohh... I feel sorry for you. You had a hard time. Don't worry. I am with you. And we all plant spirits are from Rostebe whether birth or death our home is only one- Rostebe. I will take you there one day"

" Hmmm... I am content with meeting someone like me. And I just want to help the human friends I made. I want to save Wangzi's life. You helped him once. Can't you cure him fully? "

" Mr. Xavier about that..... Ummm..... I also don't have a solution. It is not some disease that we can cure. I asked an old spirit. He said that he possesses something a human should not. That is the reason for cold attacks. "

"There might be some way to find what it is and how to remove it. Don't you know? "

"There is big punishment if we spirits change a human's fate. We can't do it. "

" But....

Xavier and Lian's conversation was halted when there were loud noises downstairs. Lian and Xavier looked at each other for a second and then went downstairs. There they saw a new face- a girl who was in a black short dress with a small sword strapped on her belt with her hair held in a high tight bun.

" Listen to me. I need to get promoted to the Law State Council of Investigation and for that, I need more people. The head permitted me to select any person for my team. And I want to have him" Said the fierce-looking girl while pointing towards Xiaobo.

" What is going on? Who is this fierce yet beautiful lady? "

" And may I ask who are you?"

" Li Lian. Assistant and herbology doctor "

" Zhang Ning. Assistant head of inspection bureau. Nice to meet you. "

" What was the yelling for? It is not good for a lady to be fierce all the time"

" Lian. Don't scold me. We just met. We need to be friends and to know each other better I have an idea. Wanna work on a case with me? I bet your doctor's knowledge will be very helpful. "

"Hey, why are you inviting a fragile girl in this? You just met her and now putting her life in danger. What kind of human are you? " Mung yelled as she was showing a domineering nature with no absolute reason.

" Please, I beg you all. Join me and help me solve the cases. It's not like I am forcing you to do the wrong work. It is a good deed. "

" What is the case? "

" The one we saw in the calligraphy shop. The painting case. " Answered Xiaobo.

" Ohhh... I also want to check whether demons are real Or not. It will be interesting. "

" They are dear. There is a school in Big Cona Hills where students study about demons. " Stated Ning.

" And I am going to study this case. That's final. " Declared Xiaobo.

" But....

Before Wei could protest against Xiaobo, there was a loud bell sound. And followed by noises of people yelling.

" HE DIED!! HE REALLY DIED."

" THE DEMONS ARE BACK. THEY WILL KILL EVERYONE. "

" WHAT WILL WE DO NOW? "

" IS IT SAFE TO STAY HERE. "

All five came out and saw a body hanging on the tallest building of the city called the Bell Tower. It was hanged by the rope and everyone noticed it because the body was tied to the bell and due to the weight the bell rang.

" It is serious. We should help Ning sister. "

" Hmmm... You are right Lian. '

" Wait a second. How can you tell that Ning is bigger in age than you? " Asked Ming.

" Anyone can tell. Girls understanding is better than boys. "

" Guys, be serious. Someone died. We can't let the murderer escape. Let's form a team without any more delay. Let's get to work. The shop will be handled by my other workers for now.

Zhang Wei is hesitant but the murder happens in Hua market and he needs to keep Xiaobo safe. Also, his curiosity increased as to who did the gruesome work. And so the team formed just like that due to Ning's stubbornness.
