“Calm down, Ming. Let’s go. Tell me on the way what happened “said Xiaobo. Li Ming took a few deep breaths, gave a smile, and then both started walking back.
“A group of people came and their leader is saying that the sword he brought from us is fake and is asking for compensation or threatening to destroy our shop. He even brought police “said Li Ming.
Xiaobo only smirked and then they headed steadily towards their shop. When they reached they saw a lot of people surrounded it. Xiaobo and Li Ming squeezed through and entered their shop.
“I am the owner of this shop. Tell me what is the problem directly? “said Xiaobo with a stern face.
“You are the owner. Then it’s good. You sell fake products here and fool everyone. See this sword, it’s fake and I brought it from here. Give me compensation, right now “said a man who was in his 40s.
“Hmmm...you say you brought it from here. What is the proof? “asked Xiaobo.
The man was prepared for this question and showed a small wooden piece on which the shop’s name – No.26, along with a bill of having bought a sword.
“This is the proof,” said the man, who was shouting so loud and purposefully that people gathered around and listened to everything. Zhang Wei was not allowing the people to enter and Li Ming was analysing the sword. Xiaobo took the wooden bar, analyzed it, and gave a small smile.
“It’s fake. What are you trying to prove with this fake receipt “said Xiaobo.
“You...how can you say that? Huh? Said the man.
“Because I only use redwood to use as the recipe. And anyone can tell this is not the redwood bar” said Xiaobo while throwing the bar towards Li Ming who gave it to the officer to inspect.
“It is indeed not the redwood bar. But how can you clarify about the sword? Maybe he bought it in an emergency without having given the bar. “said the officer trying to neutralize both the parties.
“Yes, I give swords without asking them any details. But I can identify which is mine and which is not from my shop by showing two proofs “said Xiaobo and went outside the shop along with two swords -one from his shop and one from the man. He gave both swords to Zhang Wei and went to two pieces of wooden blocks and threw them towards Zhang Wei who caught them without even looking towards  Xiaobo.
All the people gathered around came to witness the scenario. Xiaobo came forward and told Li Ming to bring a candle.
“Everyone this man says that I sell fake swords. So today, I am going to demonstrate the power of my swords and how I will prove in front of you that this sword is not from my shop. Zhang Wei brother !” said Xiaobo and Wei nodded and put the wooden block on the ground took the sword from the shop and gave a strike. The wooden block broke into two with a clean cut without much effort by Wei. Then he took another block took the sword from the man and gave a strike. The wooden block was cut only halfway.
“Everyone, this is the sword from my shop, right?” asked Xiaobo to the people. The people nodded. Then he took the candle from Ming and put the sword's end part on the flame. After some time something back appeared on the sword. It was a flower with a snake around it.
“ This is the symbol that represents that the sword is brought from my shop. Now this man says that his sword is brought from my shop. Let’s see if it is true. If it is true then I will give you all swords free of cost. But even if I am proven right today there is a sale on my shop so it's half price. I won’t put such a low price again, remember that. So let’s give it a try “said Xiaobo and put the other sword on the flame. There was no reaction to this sword.
“ What do you want to say officer?” asked Xiaobo.
“Of course, you were innocent. I will immediately take this fraud away. By the way, Mr. Wang, you said it is half the price of weapons, right? “asked the officer. Xiaobo nodded.
“ Then, I  want two of these big swords and two of these small knives,” said the officer.
“Me too”
“I also want”
“ I might as well get one”
All the people surrounding them started taking swords of their liking to buy. Xiaobo smiled and shook his head.
“Hey brother, according to your nature you don’t like to show off. You did all this on purpose, right? Prove your innocence as well as the quality of product and attract people.” Whispered Ming. Xiaobo did not say anything, just gave a smile and said to get busy.
The rest of the day was busy for Ming and Xiaobo as they got plenty of customers.
“Xiaobo, you need to go there within two days. You remember, right? “asked Zhang Wei.
“Hmmm,” said Xiaobo without looking up and was writing the entries of today’s purchase items.
“Xiaobo!”
“Hmm”
“Xiao Wangzi!”
“Hmm”
“Wang Xiaobo, are you listening to me!!??”Yelled Wei.
Xiaobo jolted and kept his quill down and finally looked at his Wei brother.
“I know, I know I will go there. And no need to remind me, my body is a better reminder for me “said Xiaobo while sighing and shaking his head.
“Okay, then. Be careful on your trip. I am needed somewhere else. So I will leave today only. Bring Ming with you, okay “said Wei, and taking his things took his horse and went off.
“It’s every monthly problem. Is it necessary for my brother to remind me every time? And where is he headed to? Xiaobo kept filling the entries while questions kept occurring in his mind and the day passed like that.
The city of Mei Karta was hit by heavy rain and there was no sign that it would stop.
“Brother, we need to go today but it has been raining for two days. And I don’t think it would stop. Let’s go when the rain stops. “said Ming.
“No, we need to go today. I don’t think I can’t wait till tomorrow “said Xiaobo while telling his men to bring a carriage. Li Ming got concerned and packed the things.
In the Rostebe heavens, despite being very heavy rains in the human world, here it was moderate rain because of the huge trees that were there for the little angels growing there. Nature was providing its best for the angel flower without caring for the human realm for once.
“Look !! the flower it is finally turning into a human form!!” said a peach spirit.
The white flower had grown fully. Delicate white petals surrounded by one layer of transparent petals, the flower looked mesmerizing in the rain with shimmer surrounding it. The light brightened and spread across the whole forest. Due to the light, every tree and plant shined and they grew taller. The withered ones and the old spirits also gained life energy from the light.
A beautiful girl with average height was born with age according to humans 20 but for the plant spirit world, she was only a baby. She had a beautiful white dress with an intricate design that looked like solid water drops, with her dress reaching up to her knee and a pair of transparent white sandals. Her eyes were bright green, her hair dark black. She had a round face shape with a smile on her face after seeing her friends surrounding her.
“Angel can you speak? “asked the Banyan tree spirit. The girl thought and then kept her hands on the soil and closed her eyes. As she kept her hands they glowed.
“Yes, I learned the language you speak with the help of soil sister. She knows every secret of yours. “said the girl giggling.
“One should not speak ill of others and if they have kept secrets you should respect  and not tell others.” Said Mango Spirit. Angel nodded with a smile.
“The language that we speak is of humans. We all are from the human realm. “ said the peach spirit.
“How does the human realm look like? Is it interesting? “asked the girl.
“We don’t know fully about it. Because we would be born and stuck in a  place. We have limited knowledge about it. “Said the apple spirit.
“ Then should I explore it for you all? According to your knowledge, all have a name with which others can call you. What is my name? “asked the girl.
“ I have a name in mind. Let's call you  Xiang Tian Shi. Okay? “said the peach spirit. Tian Shi got up jumped in excitement and nodded vigorously.
“Hey!! Where are you running off??” asked all the spirits in unison when they saw her abruptly running off somewhere.
“To the HUMAN REALM” Yelled Tian Shi and sprinted off like the wind. Tian Shi’s weight was not like normal human so her weight was not more than 100 flowers.
The spirits had a limit. They couldn’t move out of the Rostebe as there was a barrier that prevented any intruder from entering. So they were unable to stop the little angel from running away.
“Tian shi come back you can’t go like this. The human realm is not that simple. “Yelled a watermelon spirit.
“I am just visiting the world. I will be back quickly “said Tian Sh.
Tian Shi was bored with the surroundings that she had seen for four days, so she ran off to have a view of the world. She came out of Rostebe and was roaming in the forest. She was thrilled to see the animals and started playing with them.
At that time Xiaobo’s carriage was also passing through the same forest.
Tian Shi saw a herd of deer who were running along. She joined them and was running while enjoying the water droplets which were replenishing her energy.
Xiaobo saw the herd of deers and in between them A GIRL!!. In a white dress, running along with a wide smile on her face. Seeing her made Xiaobo smile unknowingly and he wanted to meet her but the carriage jolted due to rocks present on the way and Xiaobo due to jolt fell in the carriage. He got up hastily to catch a glimpse of the girl again but she was gone.
“Brother, are you okay? Whom are you searching for?” asked Ming while looking outside.
“Nothing. Let's go “said Xiaobo and they continued their journey.
“She looked so elegant and beautiful. Just like a fairy from the heavens” thought Xiaobo and for the rest of the journey his mind revolved around the same girl.
