The sun shone through the mosaic glass ceiling in the library and Kunlun was active early. He had been attending to small cleaning tasks that had been neglected for a few weeks, leaving the dust to gather on the unopened books, forcing him to be a cleaner for the morning. He didn't mind the cooking duties, very funny he thought, because holograms don't eat. He also didn't mind working in security because he could watch Mr Wrong giving out the wrong information to the possible new buyers of this mansion, but no one was ever going to buy it. There were too many restrictions, and the conditions of sale made it impossible, unless the right person came along.

Kunlun was aware of someone entering the house and he flew down to his security room to watch the monitors and find out who this person was. His poor holographic heart almost missed a beat when he saw who was walking around the mansion, and he rushed upstairs to greet him.

Shen Wei stared at Kunlun and them smiled broadly, as the hologram stood with tears in his happy eyes.

"I have missed you so much, My Lord, how is the Entity doing, does he still keep you busy? And have you found Zhao Yunlan yet, how is he? Would you like some tea? I've been learning to cook while the mansion was empty and no one could smell it. You need to look at the new paintings, we have some nice ones."

Shen Wei was slightly surprised that the paintings were still appearing from the unknown painter and he followed Kunlun to look at them. There were at least four that he hadn't seen but on examination, they were self explanatory to Shen Wei and the hologram.

"I have met Yunlan, but he is not aware of his history and I'm not sure how much would be good for him to know. He has met Black Robe but I was ill at the time. What about you Kunlun, what have you been doing apart from following Mr Wrong's attempts at selling the house?"

"I have my independence now and can go anywhere inside the house but not out until the watch comes back and I believe that Zhao Yunlan found it in the cave. When is he coming here? Or is he not?"

"I'm sorry Kunlun, for the present time, he's not coming. It's part of the history that I'm unsure of telling him."

"It's not important My Lord, how long are you staying for, one night, two maybe three?"

"I was considering moving back in but haven't made up my mind yet, how would you feel, it's your home as well?"

"I would be delighted and I can do so much more now, you wouldn't need to employ a butler or a doorman, my cooking is not great, so you might need to hire a chef, but I would love it."

"Let me think about it Kunlun, now I would like to wander on my own, switch off the cameras please."

"As you wish My Lord." and Kunlun returned to his vault in the basement to throw the switch on all the cameras in the house.
