"Care to explain why you have been in a coma for two weeks and tried to burn everyone that came within a five feet radius of you?".
Lu Jing brain nearly cracks with the intensity of his hard stare.
What?!? she has been in a coma for two weeks?!?!?!?!
***********
Li Jing stares at Lu Chen, their spirits silently fighting for dominance. Meanwhile, Wang Xiu Ying who doesn't like being the third wheel finally interrupts their 'stare down' match.
She catches him clenching his hands into fists, but she is able to catch a glimmer of–... was that a current???
She pushes the thought to the back of her mind as she continues her stare off with Lu Chen.
Hey guys, you both should stop acting like spoilt brats, you are far too grown for that she says while waving her hands wildly about her. But Zhang Wei catches her right hand and brings it to his chest. The action causes Lu Chen to almost knock their heads together.
How dare they hand out cinnamon buns [1] to us single people.
I'm tired, I want to rest, Li Jing says. She is totally exhausted and given the fact that she just woke up from a coma and eventually had a 'stare down' with the jerk, she was drained both physically, mentally and emotionally.
"Where is Mr Zhao?" She silently muses to herself before going off to dream land.
What she didnt know was that Mr Zhao was currently lying in the VIP male ward of an hospital where the doctors were trying to tranfuse blood to him and adequate nutrition to revive his depleted energy.
It appeared that he over exerted himself in the course of transporting Li Jing to the future!!
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Meanwhile, in a black low key Maserati, Lu Chen sat at the back seat of the car. He can be seen to be resting his head on the headrest of the car. He seems to be deep in his thoughts, when suddenly, he places his palm upwardly on his laps and stares at them perplexed.
A thought of Li Jing comes to him and suddenly, sparks of electricity dance on his fingertips.
He is frustrated as he also banishes all thoughts of Li Jing and tries to summon his power but surely enough, pure white air comes out.
The problem wasn't the fact that electricity were dancing on his finger tips, it was the fact that he was an Aquarius and his elemental power was air and nothing related to water nor fire.
A flash back of when he went for a swim in his in house pool and the water gave way for him. Some even froze to icicles when he touched them!. He groans in frustration.
However, all these only happened when he was near Li Jing or when he thought of her.
Earlier today when he was in the hospital room with Li Jing and the others, he had to hide his hands behind his back to stop his self from blowing everywhere into smithereens because of he raw energy he felt especially when they had their stare off match.
He had tried to gauge Li Jing's expression but he saw nothing other than a fierce determination to put him in his place.
He closes his palm and presses a button on his side, the intercom of the car and the electronic voice of the chauffeur is heard.
"At your service Mr Lu", says Liu Wei.
"Turn the car around Mr Liu, I would like to pay Jin Jing a visit". Lu Chen orders as he rests he resumes his former position of resting his head on the head rest.
"It's time he got some much awaited answers"....

However, in another realm, five gods drank their goblets of wine and made merry on the dilemma of the two teenagers.
These five gods were King Xia[2], King Shang[3], King Zhou[4], King Han[5] and King Qing[6] they were the pillars of the Modern Republic of Cheng[7].
"She refuses to acknowledge her obvious attraction to the elemental and the elemental is confused as to his obvious attraction to her".
They all laugh, "you should have seen his face when he changed those water drops into icicles".
Pfft hahaha
"What about when he mistakenly zapped his butt", someone says which makes them all burst into collective laughter.
Hehehe pfft, so funny.
"How about we send him the power of earth next", King Shou says.
"Nah let's treat this like a chess game, slow but with purpose and we all know that slow and steady wins the race", a king says.
"The teenager already unlocked one of her powers, however, it was done with the energy of her principal",King Xia says.
"She needed a pathway. However, the principal will be revived soon". "She has earned two of her powers in one day", King Shang says and gets the support of the Kings as they all nod their heads in agreement.
Yeah that of her blue fire and transporting into the past. We have to make this a harder journey for her, I have a feeling that the rate at which she unlocks her power is too simple, says King Qing.
"Well said King Han". "How about we provide a pathway for the teenagers to test their strengths and weaknesses amongst other immortal beings", King Xia says.
"How about the ultimate supernatural school", King Zhou suggests.
"Hmmm....."
