After Xuanyu came back from the room with the older women he looked at the young disciples. "Although there isn't any danger this place still feels strange we should behave ourselves. When we're in other people's domains" he said.

He was looking especially at Jin Ling. Jin Ling rolled his eyes in annoyance. He was hugging his sword. Daiyu noticed that he often did that. Xuanyu crossed his arms. "Now. I need someone to help me. Any volunteers?" He asked.

Sizhui smiled brightly. He walked towards Xuanyu. "Master Mo. I volunteered." He said excitedly. Daiyu saw that Sizhui really liked Master Mo. He would always help him with anything when he was around. Xuanyu nodded at Sizhui.

Jingyi looked at Xuanyu. "What should I do?" He asked curiously. "Just stay put and don't move until I tell you to" he told him. Jingyi nodded. Xuanyu nodded and looked at Sizhui. "Come on" he told him. He put an arm around his shoulder as they walked away.

Jin Ling looked at them. He looked Jelouse or upset. Maybe he was feeling Jelouse. Nobody ever treated him like that. Especially not in his family where he would get a scolding daily. His uncle was strict and rude. No wonder Jin Ling is jelouse of Sizhui.

Jin Ling followed the two. While they were gone Daiyu sighed. "Sit." She told Jingyi. Jingyi shook his head. "Master Mo told me not to move Daiy- I mean Lady Lan." He told her. He and Sizhui always called her Lady Lan. She preferred it. She didn't like others using her real name unless they were close to her. The only people that were close enough to her were Lan zhan, Lan xitchen, grand master lan, Jingyi and Sizhui.

Daiyu didn't say anything. She sat down on the floor. She held her sword tightly and closed her eyes. She was listening to her surroundings. She could concentrate better with her eyes closed. It gave her a better idea of what everything was without seeing it.

Jingyi looked at Daiyu and shook his head. "Lady Lan is the twin of Hanguang Jun that's what everyone says at Cloud Recesses" He whispered. Daiyu opened her eyes and look at him. Jingyi smiled nervously. She then closed her eyes again.

When Xuanyu, Jin Ling and Sizhui got back they brought congee. The poisoned were forced to drink it. Jungyi began to drink it as he did he began coughed. Daiyu didn't get why he did. She drank the Congee. It was probably Spicy for him. She found it nice. It had a nice kick. She felt like she had it somewhere before or it tasted like something else.

"What is this? It's poison?" Jingyi complained. "Poison? It's the cure! Glutinous rice congee." He said. He had his arms crossed as he looked at Jingyi. "Firstly, I really don't understand why Glutinous rice can be the cure. Secondly, I have never tasted such Spicy Glutinous cover before!" He said as he put it down. Xuanyu looked at Daiyu. "She already drank it all" He told them.

Jingyi turned to look at her. "Are you okay! How are you not coughing it's so spicy" Jingyi said. Xuanyu then turned to look at them. "It's not supposed to be spicy. Unless I accidentally sprinkled paprika in it." He said. Sizhui got down. He smelled the congee before actually drinking it. He almost spit it out as he coughed.

They all looked at him. "The taste is so terrible that it almost brings about a sense of deja vu." He said. Daiyu looked at Sizhui. She felt it too when she drank it.

This Deja vu wasn't normal to her. It felt like she was a young child drinking this. She had a small memory.

Memory: 16 years ago: Burial Mounds

"Daiyu just drink it please" a voice told her. It was a different voice. She hadn't heard it before. It was a women's voice. "No I won't!" The girl pouted.

"Fine. Then I'll tell  both of your uncles." She told her. She shook her head. "Then you won't be able to go with your cousin to the market" she told her. Daiyu shook her head.

"Okay fine. I'll drink the congee" she whined. She took the cup and drank it slowly. When she finished she heard the women's voice again. "Good job Daiyu!" The voice said and gave her a high five.

She couldn't see the women's face and could only hear her voice. "Look it's uncle and cousin!" She told the girl. The girl smiled. She looked up and saw a man. She couldn't see his face but he was in black robes with a little of red. She saw him holding a boys hand.

"Look who drank all her congee! Good job Daiyu!" The voice said. She was picked up. "Let's go to the market!" He said. "We will be back Qing" he told the women's voice was heard again. "Okay be careful by Daiyu" she told her. "Say bye to Mom" The voice told her.

"Bye mom"

End of Memory.

"Lady lan are you okay?" She heard Jingyi ask. She turned to look at him. "Lady Lan we've been calling you for a while now." Sizhui said. "Are you alright?" Xuanyu said.

She gulped as she got up. She went towards the door. "Lady lan! You can't go out there. It's dangerous with the fog" Xuanyu said.

She didn't listen. She needed to go. She felt suffocated in the room with many people. She hadn't had a memory about her life before her life in the clan of Gusu. She needed to find Hanguang Jun. she needed to ask who 'Qing' was. She was apparently her mother.

'I've never heard of someone named Qing.'

'Who is she?'

'She was my mother'

'Who was that man?'

'I need to find Hanguang jun'

"Lady Lan." Sizhui said. He grabbed her arm. Daiyu took her arm out of Sizhui's hand. She never acted like this towards him. "Hanguang Jun." she mumbled. "Hanguang jun?" Sizhui said. "What do you need Hanguang jun for?" Jingyi asked.

She didn't reply. She opened the door and walked out. Sizhui's eyes widened he was about to go after her. Xuanyu blocked his way. "You can't go after her. It's to dangerous with the fog. I can't let you go if so I'll lose both of you" he told her.

Sizhui shook his head. "Please Master Mo" he said. Xuanyu shook his head. "She'll be fine. She knows how to fight. She's strong. We know that for sure" he told Sizhui.

'Don't worry. Lan Zhan will find her'

"Now nobody leaves. No matter what" he told all of them. They all nodded. Jingyi went towards Sizhui. "She'll be fine Sizhui. She knows how to handle herself"

'Lan zhan. Please find Lady Lan. She won't be okay alone. Even if she knows what she's doing'

(This is just a short chapter. I decided to change it up from the drama. I thought it might have gotten a bit boring following all of it! We also got a small memory!!)
