[Shizun..missed me?]

Xiu Qiangshu sensed a demonic presence wavering in the air from the forest. The person must be a beginner at hiding his aura or he has strong emotions that make him lose control of his aura. No one could hide their aura unless it was done by an immortal or it was..the demon king itself. Xiu Qiangshu realizes with his eyes wide. 

"Oh god! What's happening!?" Gu Xiang cried as she panicked.

"You go in and check whether everything is alright, I will be right back." Gu Xiang nodded and sprinted towards the palace while Xiu Qiangshu followed the aura that was now slowly moving far away from him, as if afraid that Xiu Qiangshu would find him.

Xiu Qiangshu saw a red silhouette of a man, He sped up his pace now he was chasing after the man. The silhouette of the man was faster than Xiu Qiangshu, he couldn't see his face, only could make out the color of his robes. 

"Stop right there!" Xiu Qiangshu ordered, the silhouette of the man seemed to have hesitated before he sprinted. 

"Damn." Xiu Qiangshu cursed, not minding the modern language he used. He couldn't even use his powers because of his weak core. If he let this demon go loose then it won't do any good. It shouldn't hurt to try his powers for once right? 

The silhouette flew on the roof. Xiu Qiangshu sent his spiritual power into his fan before he threw it towards the silhouette, it went towards the silhouette, about to slice his neck before it stopped an inch away from his neck, as if threatening the man that if he made any more move, his neck would be sliced by the fan. 

"It worked!" Xiu Qiangshu exclaimed as he flew in front of the silhouette, and indeed it was the masked man. His fan never worked as a weapon because of his weak core but somehow it worked this time.

Xiu Qiangshu held the fan in his hand and folded it with one jerk.

The masked man seemed amused as he stared at the fan and then his eyes turned dark as he glanced at Xiu Qiangshu. His eyes and lips only visible, he gave a sulky smile.

"What does Immortal Lord Xiu Qiangshu want from me?" The man spoke, his voice a bit distorted and distant as if he was using a voice amplifying charm.  

"You must be someone with greater status in the demon realm to be able to recognize a mere Immortal Lord like me." Xiu Qiangshu claimed, He wasn't so famous, he was just like any other immortals, and demonic realms weren't able to get into human realm unless they had a higher status. Humans wouldn't dare to get into the demon realm, so demons wouldn't know about all the immortals except for the popular ones, and he was sure he wasn't one of them. 

The masked man gave a gentle smile."Everyone in the demon realm knows Immortal Lord Xiu Qiangshu more than any other immortals out there in the human realm." 

"...And why is that?" Xiu Qiangshu was baffled, why would he be so popular in the demon realm than he is in the human realm? 

"You will know it soon." He gave a smile cheekily which reminded Xiu Qiangshu of Yun lixin. Yun lixin. He sighed, He was thinking about Yun lixin again, why does he keep seeing Yun lixin in everything today? 

"I don't know what your intentions are, but you're not supposed to be in the human realm. So I must take you to prison." Xiu Qiangshu chanted a spell to bind the masked man's wrists, which would seal his spiritual power and he wouldn't be able to use it. His wrists were  by the spell as he stood there, just staring at xiu qiangshu, hesitating to ask a question. 

"Do you have something to ask?" Xiu Qiangshu asked, seeing the contemplation on the masked man's face. 

"..Do you still miss..your long gone disciple..?" The masked man asked, as he braced himself for the worst as if what Xiu Qiangshu would say next would be disappointing.Xiu Qiangshu froze, as a sad smile appeared on his expression.
