To my wonderful readers, 

I apologize for the delay in posting, I am working on packing up my house to move and it has gotten in the way of my writing. I will strive to improve and get the chapters out as soon as I write them. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Love ya, Neena

********************************************************

The next day was spent traveling to Tanzhou via sword, Nie Huaisang traveled with me while Lan Zhan kept pace beside us. We landed outside the main gate and walked casually to the town center square. There were several dozen people standing there, we walked over to the crowd and saw an information board that everyone was crowded around. 

I tapped a man on the shoulder "What's going on?"

The guy turns and looks me up and down then smirks "We are reading the details of the poetry contest by the lady."

I nod "Oh I see"

I walk back over to my companions and fill them in, as we stand there patiently waiting for our turn to read the instructions, out of nowhere there is a shower of delicate flower petals that drift slowly around everyone in the square. I look over at Nie gongzi and he just smiles and shrugs looking around then he stops and softly gasps, his eyes going wide. 

I turn and look in the direction he is looking and I see Lan Zhan looking up at the flower petals, they are cascading around him, and his strong sexy jawline is in stark detail with his face tilted to the sky. He is literally incredibly exquisite standing there looking like the epitome of a masculine god of a man. I am awe-struck by his beauty.

So beautiful Lan Zhan, you are so unbelievably beautiful. I sigh fascinated.

He looks over at me, I'm guessing he sees how much I am obsessed with him because he gazes into my eyes and gives me a sinful little smirk.

Sexy, just too damn sexy my Lan Zhan, my Lan er gege.

Lan Ying, are you looking to get punished? I've told you what will happen when you call me that.

I grin at him and then I see him clutch his chest again where the yin iron is kept. Lan Zhan?

The yin iron is close the lady must have a piece, we need to go there and get it.

I nod and get Nie gongzi's attention for him to follow us. Half an hour later we are standing in a burned garden, I can see resentful energy clinging to the stems of heat-wilted flowers. Lan Zhan, can you see the resentful energy?

He shakes his head, I walk over and place my hand over the streamers of dark energy and they move toward my hand as if being drawn to me by some unseen force. I slowly move my hand away from the energy and it retreats back to the steams for which it is originally clinging. Weird I think, as we look around Nie gongzi walks over and bends down picking something up from the ground he holds it up for us to see.

"Hey guys look what I found."

We look at it and then at each other and I say "A dire owl feather?"

Lan Zhan nods "The Wens use dire owls as spies."

I nod running my finger over the tip of my nose a few times "So the Wens are the ones who destroyed the garden."

Lan Zhan, they beat us to the yin iron piece that was here.

Mn, we need to move away from here and see if our piece will guide us to the next one.

I look at Nie Huaisang "Let's go, it seems there's nothing here now, what a shame it looks like it was really nice at one point."
