After Jun Wu's downfall, Xie Lian had taken over as the heavenly emperor with Hua Cheng, his husband by his side. Ling Wen was brought back and everyone helped her with the loads of work to reduce her stress.

He Xuan was about to leave before Hua Cheng walked up to him.

"Next month there will be a party to celebrate Jun Wu's downfall and Gege is inviting you and His bestest friend. Do not be late, oh and I'll reduce your debt little by little if you oblige by Gege's orders. For now your debt will be reduced a little bit as I have said since you have helped out a lot."

Hua Cheng left and He Xuan was standing there, wandering what to do, he then decided to kill a couple of people in the mortal realm because he felt bored. So he left the heavenly realm.

***********

Shi Qingxuan woke up in an 'unfamiliar' room, as soon as he was awake entirely did all the memories came flooding back and he started crying, it wasn't He Xuan's fault to kill his brother and take him as...a slave or anything but it hurt too much and it happened recently so he asked himself,

"Why am I still alive?" the other part of his mind kept telling him that He Xuan was keeping him for torture. As he kept crying a knock on the door could be heard and Shi Qingxuan screamed.

"Young master Shi? May I come in?" A voice called out, it sounded like as if they had never heard the scream.

Shi Qingxuan quickly wiped his face as he didn't want the person on the other side as he called back.

"Y-yes!.. You may come in!" The door opened and a woman came in.

"My name is Li Fang

"My name is Li Fang. Young Master He sent me to be your servant." She walked towards Shi QingXuan and dropped a bag filled with robes on his lap.

"..Why..why is he caring for me..is it to torture me later on?" The woman stared at Shi QingXuan.

"That is not my place to answer as I have no idea either, please, follow me to the bathroom since you need a bath." She helped Shi Qingxuan up and they walked to the bathroom. She opened the door and let him inside, Shi QingXuan stared in awe, the bathroom walls were pearl tiles, there was many different shampoos and scented soaps.

"But..I can't have this..It's Ming-He Xuan's..." Shi QingXuan turned around and faced the woman who started smiling.

"Whatever is young Master He's, it's also yours. I'll put your robes here, and come out in 30 minutes. Till then I'll be preparing your food."

The woman left after placing the soft, white robes on a rack. Shi QingXuan undressed himself and got inside the ready, warm bath. He looked through the soaps and chose a cherry and lavender one. He stayed in the bath for 20 minutes before getting out.

He wiped himself dry and looked at the robes, they were white with the teal lining, it reminded him of his old ones that he used to wear without knowing it wasn't supposed to be his.

He put on the thin robes and looked at the mirror, his once happy and carefree eyes were lifeless and tired. He looked way to similar to how he used to look except for his hair and eyes of course. He brushed his hair and tied it in a bun, then he opened the door thinking he would meet the servant or would walk alone, instead he met the last person he wanted to see right now.

He Xuan.

*************(Before that)

He Xuan came back to the manor from his little spree and went toward the room Shi Qingxuan was in. He opened the door only to find the room empty. He then felt a presence coming near.

"Li Fang. I suppose you have something to do with this?" He turned toward her as she stopped infront of him.

"Yes Young Master, Younger master Shi is taking a bath right now and I have prepared the dinner for the both of you. Now I have to tidy his bed for his rest if you may excuse me young master." She went inside the room and started tidying the bed. He Xuan walked the other way to where the bathroom was, he heard the sound of water turning off and then shuffling in there. He waited infront of the door for 5 minutes before a refreshed Shi QingXuan came out. In those familiar robes he looked stunning but as Shi QingXuan looked up at him. He backed out.

"Ah..Hello Young scholar He."
