Back to Qian manor again, Lory a hunch the man that they were hiding would give her advantages but first how the hell he met that man? Lory watch the west courtyard from behind the bushes the entrance of the courtyard is guarded by two soldiers and no one enter the courtyard except the maid who brings the food and the soldier always check what inside the tray before they let anyone enter and out the courtyard, such a meticulous guard but that only make her suspicious even more.

Lory was still contemplating when she hears a rustle from above the tree than suddenly something jumps off from the tree and grabs Lory neck, Lory almost yelp, fortunately, she managed to cover her mouth before she shouts, turn out is Gao di the monkey the beast make big grinned right in Lory's face. ​​

"Gao Di, what are you doing here?" Lory stunned than the monkey stuck out his tongue, Lory sigh "You want to join the fun?" than the monkey nods his head excitedly, Lory chuckles than patted his head.

"I think…..you came at the right moment" she smiles mischievously then she points her finger at the two soldiers and whispers something to the monkey and the monkey nods his head while grinned widely.

The two soldiers who guar the gate looks board so they chat a little "Its been a week why the Master want us to guard him, is not like anyone want to hurt the guest" the young guard complain.

"Do you think we really guard him from harm?" the older guard scoffed "We guard the guest so he didn't go out"

"What do you mean?" the young guard surprise.

"Can you see it how the master treats the guest, although he was polite to him but he restricts him not to step out of the courtyard?" said the older guard.

"I thought is because the guest is sick?" the young guard didn't have much experience so he didn't understand what really happens in the manor but the older guard is smarter.

"Sick? Why do you think he got sick?" he said with a meaningful gaze.

Just when they still talking suddenly a monkey jump the young soldier helmet when he shoves the monkey away from his head Gao Die jumps to his waist make the soldiers shriek.

"Where this monkey coming from!" the old soldiers shouted.

'Ki ki ki!" Gao Di smirk he raised his hand and turns out he is holding a sword, the two soldiers frown they feel the sword is familiar only than they realize it was the young soldier sword.

"My…my sword!" he cries.

Gao di show of her but and the monkey wiggle his little but in front of the soldier, Lory who watches it from afar amazed by the familiar scene and then she wonder if the monkey learned from Shin Jiu or shin Jiu learn from the monkey?

"You, DA*N MONKEY!" the young shoulder berated and Gao Di run with the sword, the angry soldiers didn't have choice but chasing the monkey, when the entrance of the courtyard empty Lory sneak in, she hopes the stupid guard is the only guard Qian Qi Feng have to guard whoever the guest is if they're any shadow guards she would be in trouble.

She pressed her back to the wall and sharpen her hearing, fortunately, no one bothers her, the courtyard is empty than suddenly she heard a man coughing from the sound of it the man sounds very ill.

Lory didn't have much time before Qian Qi Feng come, lory peeks from the window an old man leans on the wooden table his hand withstand her body while his other hand clenching his chest and he coughing roughly until his face turns red.

Lory wants to know who is this man and why Qian Qi Feng treat him nicely, he gives the old man a nice courtyard and lavish bedroom but at the same time, he make him sick and locked the old man inside the courtyard such a contradicted behavior, it make her very curious.

"Who is it?" the old man realizes someone watching him.

Lory cursed inwardly why it is so hard to hide from a high cultivator? she slowly opens the door with an awkward smile while the old man slightly frowns why the woman acted not as he expected, the old man clears his throat "Who told you to sneak on me, is this how you treat your guest?" the old man said in harrumph.

"No, I don't mean to sneak on you….well I did peek a little bit but….No, I didn't work here…." The more she explained the worst she gets so she shut her mouth abruptly, the old man's eyebrows creased deepen he didn't feel malice from the strange woman and yet he found her sneaking around his courtyard so it's confusing him.

Suddenly Gao di return and jump to Lory's shoulder make her surprised a little bit "You here? That fast" she stunned, the monkey grinned at her, on the other hand, the old man gasped "Ga…. Gao Di?" he shouted in surprise.

Lory turns her head back to the shocked old man who seems almost faint she prays he didn't get a heart attack, the old man stares at the yellow monkey than he looks at Lory again with a disbelieving expression. Lory also surprised the old man knew the monkey name.

"Who are you?" the old man and Lory asked at the same time.

The monkey make 'ki ki ki' sounds.

"....."

Then the old man and lory stare at each other again "How do you know Gao Di?" they asked at the same time again.

Both of them frown, suddenly they realize something "You know Shin Jiu?" and they do it the same thing again.

The monkey make another 'ki ki ki' sound again seems like he laughing at them, Lory scratches the back of her head as the younger one she realizes she has to be more understanding to the elder one, than she raised her hand to stop anymore question than she takes a deep breath.

"My name is Luo Ri Yi, Shin Jiu is my…friend and so this little monkey" Lory can't tell him Shin Jiu is her disciple, who would believe anyone would take a wasted as his master, the old man might think she cheated on Shin Jiu when the fact is the other way around but she can't tell anyone about that either, is too embarrassing.

The old man sees she's not lying and Gao Di being friendly with her is the prove that woman is not a bad person so he let his guard down "My name is Lu Jiang Yi, I'm….."

"Shin Jiu grandfather!" Lory screams in shock, she covers her mouth with her hand "Thank god you okay!" Lory thrilled by the good news, she knew the boy is missing his Grandfather although he never shows it.

Her genuine care for Shin Jiu makes Lu Jiang Yi heart warmed "So you are Shin Jiu friend, is he okay? I leave him alone and he never goes anywhere without me so I worried sick about him" suddenly the old man coughs again.

"Mister please sit, don't worry Shin Jiu is fine and healthy it's you I'm worried about" Lory helps him to sit down on the chair.

The old man pleased by her care, the boy is lucky to find a good person on his way but too bad she is a wasted so she can't protect him from bad people….but how could she be here? Lu Jiang Yi confuse, this place is highly guarded how could this supposed to be a weak woman could sneak into his place?
