That night, when Wei Ying heard his father talking about a shadow-like man, it didn't exactly let him sleep peacefully.

The next morning, Wei Ying went out early to clear his mind. With a few pencils and a large notebook in hand, he walked away to a quiet, calm place where he would not be disturbed. Soon after he got a little inspiration for what to draw, time sped up around him. However, Wei Ying didn't even notice this, he just made one drawing after another. Two voices pulled him out of his deep thought.

Wei Ying was sitting under a tree and drew a rabbit when Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang approached him.

They glanced curiously at the phoenix.

"Hey, guys. ..What's up? Why did you come here?" asked Wei Ying.

"We were just looking for you. ...You won't believe what we just found." said Nie Huaisang excitedly.

"We went to the wooded area to have a look around, and at a rocky part densely covered with plants, we came across the door of a locked building." - Jiang Cheng gets to the point. - "We thought you might be interested in this, that's why we're here."

"Well, you thought right. Let's go!" said Wei Ying, and then quickly got up and left his sketchbook on the ground, he followed his two friends.

They led the phoenix into the nearby forest, directly to the said ruins. There, Jin Zixuan was waiting for them. He stayed there while his friends left and called Wei Ying.

Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang pushed aside the remaining weeds and plants that were still blocking the door. After they finished, not only they, but Wei Ying could finally see what they had just found. It was a wooden door with rusted metal and chains, closed with a large padlock.

"What do you think could be in there? what could they be hiding? And who could it be?" asked Nie Huaisang, looking curiously at the phoenix.

But even before Wei Ying could answer, Jiang Cheng had already given his opinion.

"I don't think there's anything interesting in there." - said the snake indifferently.
