{The Scrolls}

After completely ruining my sleeping schedule I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. I decided to just read to try and tire me out. Obviously I'm gonna have to try and stay awake the rest of the day so I can fix my sleeping schedule and go to bed at a reasonable time.

As soon as I see sunrise I quickly get dressed into some fresh robes and lapels (and a fan that matches with my outfit), I head out and start walking to the cafeteria. This time instead of getting just wontons or congee I get both with some tea since I didn't eat dinner last night.

I eat quicker than usual since I'm basically starving, but at least I have the decency to still eat properly and not make a mess.

After the mission I didn't feel like doing anything. But there's still paperwork in my office that's needs to be done.

After putting my dirty dishes on the left counter of the cafeteria I start walking to my study pavilion.

After entering do I see a shit load of paperwork. Since Hua Lang sect is the weakest and doesn't do missions as much as others do, we get basically all of the paperwork when other sects get 3-4 pages.

When I sit down I notice another letter. I pick up the letter and start to open it slowly. I swear if it's another mission...oh. When I look at the contents of the letter I see that the sect leader of...of XUE XIAO SECT?! THE LEADER OF XUE XIAO SECT! MO QUAN IS COMING HERE?! The letter said:

Dear Sect leader Xie

My Shizun, Sect leader Mo will be coming to visit your Hua Lang Sect for the Fen Zhou scrolls of yours. He said that he'll try to return them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

-Xia Song

'Try and return them' what a bunch of bullshit. All I know is that I'm gonna have to march my ass over there to get my scrolls back. And out of all of the scrolls on my sect they want my Fen Zhou scrolls, seriously? They're the only thing that's worth something in this whole sect, and he wants to take them? You know what fine...he can have them for all I care. I'll just...annoy him a little..for my own enjoyment of course!

By the time Mo Quan gets here it's 5:30 pm. I mean I know that the upper sect leaders can be really busy but they had to of sent the letter in the morning at least. I've seriously been waiting for hours.

As I walk to the main gate I see Mo Quan and a disciple that I'm guessing is Xia Song. The disciple walks up to me and he says "Greetings sect leader Xie" "Wow your disciples are more polite than you Mo Quan" I say. "Oh fuck you weakling." Then the disciple says "If you don't mind..could you take us to where the Fen Zhou scrolls are?" "Yes of course, follow me" I turn around and start walking to my study pavilion. "Weakling why are you going to your study? Shouldn't these scrolls be somewhere more secretive?" "You'll see why I keep it there in a minute"

I open the sliding door of my study and walk inside. "Close the door behind you. I'm the only person on Hua Lang sect that knows where this is." The disciple Xia Song closes the door when he and Mo Quan Walk in.

"Jeez this place is a mess weakling. There's fucking papers everywhere..."

"Well as the weakest sect among all of them in the Su County I get the most paperwork since we get less missions. Understand?"

"Got it"

"good"

I walk over to a book shelf and I take one of the books off the shelf. "Catch" I throw the book to Mo Quan "hold that for me for just a second.." I start searching the back of the bookshelf where the book was. Then open the tiny fake wall on the back and slid it to the side where it reveals a key hole. I start rummaging into my robe searching for the key when I feel it and take it out. I put the key in the key hole and unlock it, then I grab the handle that's next to it and open it. Right there are three different colored scrolls. Crimson red, pitch black, and a dark forest green. I grab the scrolls and turn around taking the book that I handed Mo Quan and giving him the scrolls. "Try to not break them...." "I'm not a destructive person weakling" Me and Xia Song give him a look that just screams 'you're delusional'.  "Yeah whatever ya say" I say.

Mo Quan just scoffs and says a cold hearted not even thankful at all "Thanks" "Your welcome...Pony boy." I decided that since he keeps calling me weakling I should just call him pony boy like the night of...you know.

Xia Song gives me a look then looks at Mo Quan "Xia wait by the mountains for me and take the scrolls." "Yes sect leader" Xia Song says as he takes the scrolls and leaves...leaving me and him together. If I'm being honest with you..now I'm kinda terrified. "Hehe what you don't like the nickname?" I try and cover up my nervousness by acting as annoying as usual.

"Do you wanna know why I didn't push you away and kick your ass that night?"

"Because you totally couldn't get enough of my beautiful face"

"Don't fucking joke around with me Xie Jiang."

My heart dropped the moment I heard my name. He said my actual name instead of weakling.

"Why didn't you push me away? I'm actually curious."

"Because you clearly weren't in the right state of mind and you didn't know what you were doing. And I beat don't people who reek of alcohol. So I let you have your way just so I knew you wouldn't do any stupid shit when I left. Because it wouldn't just ruin your reputation, it would ruin all of ours. So at least after I fucked you that I would know that you would sleep afterwards out of exhaustion. If I could turn back and make sure you never got drunk and I never fucked you in the first place I'd do it. Because listen to me now, I hate you, I hate everything about you, I hate how you look, how you talk, your personality, and I hope everyday that something happens and you die. Because the Su county doesn't need you. You weak, pathetic, garbage."

Hearing these words made my heart sink deeper. I knew he hate me..but actually hearing him say it out loud just is different than knowing. "Got it.." I say in a shaky voice. "Well you got your scrolls..just leave."

I can't stand to be in the same room with him any longer. "Gladly." I hear him say and he turns around and just...leaves. Not even a goodbye. I feel tears that I didn't even know were there start flowing down my cheeks. I actually started to have a little bit of hope that he didn't actually hate me as much as he did but his words just crushed it. Was he just being nice so I would agree to give him the scrolls? Who cares. I..I just wanna be held right now...I want comfort. But I know I'll never get it. Poor Xie Jiang all alone like he always is. Xie Jiang all alone and forever alone. No one would ever love me. Everyone is only nice because they want something or they just want a quick fuck. Like Yu Liang...that bastard. He was sweet and nice...until he said he liked me, fucked me, then left me to rot. I hope he's dead. I wish everyday that he is. But at least I have a reason to hate him.

But who actually knows the real reason why Mo Quan actually hates me. Is it because I said he'll never be as strong as Su Jiang? Surely it couldn't have been that when he's clearly stronger than him now. Is it actually because I'm weak? Or is that some lame excuse?

I can't feel my legs as this point but I still just...stand there with tears dripping down my cheeks.

Poor poor Xie Jiang left to rot once again.

{I feel like I got a little emotional with this one, but not enough to make someone cry. But I hope you guys like this chapter!}
