The light in the room had dimmed when Qianru stirred awake from her sleep. The candles that had lit up the room, had long burnt.
Yet, the faint array of the moon made it way passed through the window beside her. The pale moonlight shone on Xiao Jun's face who was lying next to her.
Qianru lifted her hands, with the tips of her fingers, she traced the fatigue in her husband's jaw line.
He had endured so much.
She didn't know why suddenly Xiao Jun burst out uncontrollably like before. But she didn't mind it, actually she felt relief that Xiao Jun was looking for her in the moment he hit the bottom of his despair.
It made her felt like he finally recognized her, not only a wife by name.
For a moment, Xiao Jun looked so vulnerable, like a slightest harm could break him apart. His sorrow was vivid to see.
Qianru would like to use every way possible to keep him away from any possibility danger, but she knew that she couldn't. She didn't have that ability. She even incapable to make him happy like Riana did.
All she could do now was accompany him, no matter what would happen. Let him hugged her like this.
Probably it was because of her touched that stirred him awake, but when Qianru raised her head, Xiao Jun obsidian eyes were staring back at her.
His black eyes were like the darkness of the night sky. Inexplicable, yet captivating. They stared into each other eyes in serene silence.
In another moment of silence, Xiao Jun gripped Qianru's chin gently as he lowered his head and touch her lips with his.

In the Mountain Sui Sword Sect.
Between the debris of the remaining building Xiao Zi was standing impatiently beside his extravagant carriage with his hand folded in front of his chest.
He looked far away into the distance, where the ray of the sun was set down in the horizon.
"You are late." He snapped at person who was strolling into his line of sight.
Modama gave the Emperor his usual devilish smirk as he made his way toward him. "Since my daughter is in the Capital now, I need to visit her, right?" He chuckled when he saw how upset the Emperor was.
However, instead of flare up his temper, Xiao Zi waved his hand eagerly and started to get down to their business. "I have locked down this place from public. We can start from here."
Modama looked around him as he reminisced. "I know this place…" He muttered.
How he could forget this place? The Mountain Sui Sword Sect.
That faithful night, many decades ago when he was merely a child, the Emperor of Azura at that time had annihilated his family brutally, left him living in hell.
"Reminding you about the past?" Xiao Zi called out at him with mocking tone, he knew exactly what was inside his mind. He knew his story.
However, instead of being offended, Modama bent his body slightly in respect. "This place indeed bring out memory of the past." He said calmly.
Xiao Zi smirked. His cunning mind play with him as he ensured himself that Modama was within his grasp. The real matter was, that's just inside his mind …
"Gong Xu had captured dozens of the remaining Xinghe's children." Modama informed him. "However, it looks like Prince Xiao Jun is still holding some power beside the Black Sword Clan. He actually managed to interfere with our plan."
When they started capturing the children, there was another party that managed to foil their plans. The number of children that they had gotten was far from their expectation, because of them.
"No rush, I will strip off his power, starting from his dear little brother." Xiao Zi was entertained by his own imagination again.
