"ooh...," he remarked as both ladies walked over to the other side.

"You are...." Si Feng questioned (the only disciple of the blood moon sect leader).

​​

"I am Huo Ying, the young mistress of the flame sect, how dare you try to take my sister," she thundered angrily.

"ooh..so it is the twin, it seems my master really has luck today, she wanted one but it seems like she will get two,"

"In your dreams," she unsheathed her sword and ran towards him.

She attacked him with a much force, greater than Meng Hui's, he still calmly defended her attacks with his chakram but it didn't take long before he started defending her attacks seriously, he realized he underestimated her.

Her sword got stuck in his chakram but she used it to pull him forward, the both of them dashed forwards with their weapons intertwined then she pulled out her sword and somersaulted into the air and descended with a down strike kick aiming at him, he quickly blocked it with his arms but he slipped back.

"I really underestimated you," his eyes met one of the chains the assassins previously used, he kicked it up and lunged it towards the carriage, it hooked the carriage and sent it flying towards the cliff, intending to pull it back but the hook removed just when it went over the edge.

Their eyes wide as the carriage went over the cliff.

"Huo Lan!" Huo Ying screamed, terrified.

She immediately released her whip, the whip extended and moved at a really fast speed that they almost couldn't see the movement, the whip wrapped itself around the carriage then she pulled it back to bring the carriage back to the cliff.

She ran towards the carriage but stopped and waited until the person inside comes out, Huo Lan who was already feeling dizzy after being moved about, stumbled out of the carriage, she brushed her scattered hair back and looked around.

She has never seen this much people for eleven years now.

Her red eyes ball, red hair and blood-red lips, she recognises them all.

"Huo Lan, sister...." she called softly, Huo Lan turned to her, hearing the familiar voice which she has missed all these years.

"Huo Ying..." she muttered.

Huo Ying immediately dashed towards her and threw her arms around her, Huo Mei and Su Ci watched the sisters reunion with teary eyes.

"I missed you so much," she caressed her hair and sniffled while smiling in extreme happiness.

"I-I am really happy that I got to see you,"

"Me t...gasp!" she pushed Huo Lan back and turned to her back, he had sneaked attack her using the hook on another chain to stab her back which penetrated deep.

"Scoundrel, you sneak attacked me,". He used his force to pull her towards him in an instant.

"sneak attack...I am just a scoundrel," he laughed hysterically then he spun her around and placed his chakram on her neck.

"I advise you to come over here or I am afraid I will have to end your reunion a bit early," he threatened, Huo Lan took a step forward, intending to submit herself, the two guardians couldn't tell her to stop since both are equally important and it is dangerous for them to take any action.

"Don't come here, Huo Lan," Huo Ying screamed, causing her to stop but he slightly cut her neck, Huo Lan couldn't take it seeing blood seeping from the wound.

"Don't hurt my sister!" she screamed in horror.

Meng Hui who doesn't mind Huo Ying dying held Huo Lan and pulled her back since her sect would be blamed if anything happens to Huo Lan.

"Don't go," she warned

"Let me go," she snapped her wrist from her grip and continued walking forward.

Tears flowed out of her eyes.

"Huo Lan, I said don't come closer, I will kill myself if you come nearer," she threatened but he only made another slight cut on her neck.

"Stop!" Huo Lan screamed

"If you hurt her again, I won't let you go!" she threatened.

"oooh...what can a girl who has been imprisoned for eleven years do?" he moved the chakram closer to her neck.

"I warned you, I definitely warned you but you won't listen," the red colour of her eyes darkened and her hair started blowing around even when there is no wind then she removed the gloves on her hand.

"Huo Lan..." Huo Ying muttered softly, seeing as she is about to use her flame power.

"Huo Lan, No! you will hurt your sister too," Su Ci and Huo Mei warned but she had already lost it.

"Leave my SISTER!" she shouted as she pushed her hands towards Si Feng who was still holding Huo Ying captive, Huo Ying eyes widened as the flame travelling towards them reflected in her eyeball, she swiftly turned and stepped on his foot then she pushed him away and rolled away while loosening the chain, he swiftly somersaulted causing her flames to befall the disciples behind him.

They were immediately consumed by the flames, they all burned to death almost instantly.

They widened their eyes in terror looking at the barbequed bodies on the ground, but they soon snapped out of it when she started walking towards him and her flames still surrounding her hand.

They didn't mind her killing him so they didn't bother to stop her, he knew there is no way he can escape her flames this time too he decided to fight her head-on, he held his chakram and dashed towards her, she waved her hands back and forth then she pushed out her hands, her hands managed to hit his chest but he had given her a cut on her shoulder before he flew back, landing on the ground with a loud thud.

They all ran towards Huo Lan while he took the opportunity to flee seeing as the situation is not favourable before they turn his attention back to him.

"Huo Lan...are you okay?" Huo Ying placed her hand on her shoulder but she still hadn't calmed down.

"Sister..."

"It's alright now, we can return home,"

She closed her eyes and opened them back again, her eyeballs returned to the original crimson colour while her hair stopped blowing around.

"They said they were sent by the prime minister," Feng Shui informed with his hand on his abdomen to stop the bleeding there.

"Their fighting pattern and their skills don't seem like that of the prime minister's private soldiers, we will investigate the issue further when we return to the sect," Meng Hui responded.

"Young mistress!" both guardians chorused then they dropped on one of their knees to greet the young mistresses, Huo Mei greeted Huo Lan, while Su Ci greeted Huo Ying.

"Second young mistress, I am really happy to see you again," Huo Mei said with an ecstatic look on her face.

"Please stand on your feet, I…" she was embarrassed to see Huo Mei greeting her in such a way but Huo Mei still remained on her knee.

"Huo Mei, you should stand up, I am sure my sister is the same as me and she is not used to this, you should also stand up Su Ci,". Both guardians stood up, Huo Ying held Su Ci's hand and smiled broadly.

"I am really grateful to you for looking after my sister, you have really suffered for the sect, the sect is indebted to you," the expression on her face turned into a mixed apologetic and thankful look.

"No, I am the one who is lucky to have been sent with Huo Li…second young mistress, although there are so many things I missed, I will still agree to go with her if I am given a second chance,"

"That is really nice to hear, if Huo Li is okay with you calling her by her name, feel free do so but don't call her by her name in front of the elders and mother," Huo Ying lowkey teased.

Su Ci nodded in affirmation.

"I am really thankful to Miss Meng Hui for protecting my sister but now that she is in our hands, we will take her with us," she held Huo Lan's hand and walked away with Huo Mei and Su Ci following behind her.

"Wait," Meng Hui shouted

"Does Miss Meng Hui have anything else to say?" she spoke to her in a neutral tone, even though Meng Hui did her best in protecting Huo Lan and Su Ci, she is very well aware that she only did it for the wind sect and she still hasn't forgotten what happened at the wind sect.

"Miss Huo Ying, don't you think you are a bit rude? I and the only disciple left are severely injured and you are just going to leave us here," she chided in a very dissatisfied tone.

"I was too taken by my reunion with my sister to remember your condition, this is indeed my fault, how about you enter the city with us then we will provide treatment for you and book the best inn for you to stay at," Huo Ying responded with an apologetic tone that sounded sincere.

"Inn…aren't we staying at the flame sect?"
