Senior Dara has given us some peace of time to digest the information she divulges.

Hmmm... We have the chance to choose 12 different items, however, is there a difference if I choose to pick items in every door? Or to forgo my chance to pick in some pagoda, and pick more than one Item in some Pagoda?

Hmmm... what should I do?

Right, the Sapphire Door that stores the Mysterious Items, we are only able to choose one object. I think as I started to Stoke my chin.

So, I must choose one item in the Sapphire Door, I can't let the chance slip by.

Even though my Elders warn me not to pick items inside the Sapphire Door, however, I have this nagging feeling that this Sapphire Door is somewhat special, as this is only the door that stipulated that only one item can be taken, while in the other doors you can take as many as you want, limited in 12 pieces.

As I stroke my chin and scrutinized the knowledge I just digest I feel a piercing gaze at my left side.

As I turn my head I was attracted by that Dark and mysterious eyes. Those eyes are examples of black holes that will drag and consumed one's soul and rationality.

I felt like my soul was being dragged, and will be sucked into a spiralling abyss if I could not hold myself back.

"What are you looking at?" I subconsciously spat in a cocky and sarcastic way.

Oh God, That's not what I meant. Don't get angry okay, I pray silently.

I don't know why, every time I talked to Seventh Brother, my voice always turned hostile.

"Nothing. I just think your..." Seventh brother replied with a smirk in his usual cold voice.

"You think what?" I cut him before he finished with my subconsciously cocky and sarcastic voice. (〒﹏〒)

You evil bastard, what are you smirking at? Are you showing off your charms? Bastard, bastard, bastard. I hurled countless abuses inside my head.

I didn't hear him saying anything, so I stared intently at him, while he was also staring at me with those ambiguous gazes.

What's with that ambiguous gaze!!! I scream inside my head. However outside I looked at him calmly with some cockiness.

After a period of silence, I don't hear his voice but I saw his lips moving, as I could read his lips I naturally understand, "Looking forward to kissing you again Third Brother."

Those gorgeous lips, I want to feel them too again. (^～^;)ゞ

AHHH!!! I scream internally, I'm so flustered as my face became a poker face.

As a response, I mouthed in him too, saying "There are no more chances Seventh Bother."

No!!!! I don't mean it, I don't know, (╥﹏╥) I subconsciously reply mean words to my Seventh Brother.

Please don't get upset Seventh Brother...Ó╭╮Ò

I wished silently as my poker face confront him with provocation and cockiness.

Third person's Point of view:

"There are no more chances Seventh Brother."

Seven almost burst in fury and subconsciously lift his right arm to grab at Xumen and fiercely kissed him in front of everyone.

But reason holds him, his raised arm suspended in the air awkwardly.

To ease the awkwardness he scratches the back of his head sheepishly.

He turns and walks away leaving a single word. "Whatever."

On the other hand, Xumen almost faint the moment he saw Seven raising his arm.

He sigh with relief when Xumen saw Seven stop and scratch the back of his head.

However he felt an unspeakable sorrow when he saw Seven turning away from him leaving that "Whatever", he felt his heart pierced by a thorn, Xumen wanted to move and stop Seven from walking away, however, his body won't listen, instead, it turns back and didn't pay any more attention at Seven.

Back to Seven, he takes a look in Xumen's direction, seeing Xumen who calmly faced the front and didn't give him any more attention, he felt even more disappointed.

BITCH, Seven cursed when he noticed Almera, the Sixth Young Mistress, giving him that annoying smirk.

Seven clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. He past at the group of youngsters who are digesting the information divulged to them or the youngsters who are talking with each other. Nobody paid attention to him, no matter how much charm Seven possess it couldn't move them to divert their attention from the fateful event and a once in a lifetime opportunity to pick items inside the 12 Treasure Pagoda.

Seven walked at the back. He stands there alone and lonely.

He cast a glance at the group of Young Master and Mistress before him, and gently closed his eyes. Silently waiting for the time when Senior Dara would let the Young Master and Mistress choose items inside the 12 Treasure Pagoda.

After a while, Seven felt the presence of someone approaching.

He took a look and what greeted him was someone who look so average.

He whore a white robe with blue butterflies patterns. He has waist-length straight black hair and very average features. There's nothing particular about him.

He's not ugly and not handsome or beautiful. Nothing, in particular, will make you remember him. A person who was a definition of the word average.

He has a very weak presence, even in Seven's past life, this person didn't stand out. He only knew that this Young Master in front of him is the first to fall in peril and died early. And if he remembered correctly that was the time that his luck started to dwindle, as he encounter misfortune after misfortune.

Seven didn't have the clue why this Young Master would approach him, as they didn't have much interaction in their childhood life. He only noticed him as he was always alone, always staring at the group of children playing fun games. He was so meek that he exude the aura of weakness as if saying "I'm weak, Bully me".

"What are you doing Peeping Tom?" Seven asked the person before him strangely.

Yes, the person before him is the one who discreetly stares at Seven when he was standing beside Xumen when Dara, the Spirit of the 12 Treasure Pagoda talked about the origin and function of the 12 Doors.
