Flashback - A few minutes after the war with Ye Zun, back in Dixing

The Lord of Dixing is walking along the paths freely, enjoying the sunlight,enjoying the delightful shouts of his people. Even though he is quite young, he still is the chosen one to the crown by former lord.

The lord kept walking until he realised there is no one in this area. He kept walking forward and suddenly stopped looking at something.
He looks terrified. Utterly shocked by the presence of something.

"The pillar"

The pillar which was keeping Ye Zun trapped for years was broken when Ye Zun released himself from it.
And now that pillar has been rebuilt.
But there is a little difference. There are no chains attached like before and the pilar is not glowing.

The Lord kept walking towards and stopped at the stairs in front of the pilar.

He looked around to see if anyone is there.
When his gaze came back to the pilar there is a black figure standing on top of the stairs.

"Ambassador Black "

The lord stated utterly shocked. He climbed up the stairs to meet the figure.

"Your highness, I have something very very important to talk with you."

"And that might be?" the young lord interrupted.

" I don't have much time left, your highness. As you can see the pillar is rebuilt . It is rebuilt by the hallows' powers. The four hallows will stay in this pillar safe for the rest of the time"

"I understand"

"With utterly due respect, I have a favour to ask you. My brother, Ye Zun is alive. If he stays here he will meet endless difficulties. The only safe place for him is the palace. Can you, your highness let my brother stay at the palace until my return?"

"Ambassador Black, you have done so much for us Dixing ians. You have served with your loyalty to the crown for many years. If you are saying Ye Zun is no harm. I agree with you."

"My respect to your highness. I shall return to my place then. Lord, until I come back, my position is given to Ye Zun. And these words are not to be spoken to any other soul, even to Ye Zun."

"I understand. But may I know where the ambassador Black is going?"

"To where I belong to, lord. You can trust my word. Ye Zun will be no harm. I trust your highness with my brother's safety."

"I won't fail you, Ambassador Black."

Ambassador Black slightly bowed his head.

"I will portal your highness to where Ye Zun is"

The portal opened and the young lord stepped inside.

He stepped out to the inside of the palace.

There Ye Zun is, kneeling on the floor, his head hanged down. His hands trembling, small sobs can be heard.

Ye Zun felt a presence in front of him. He turned his head up and met with the eyes of Lord Dixing.

Without uttering a word, Lord of Dixing took Ye Zun's right hand and guided him to inside of the palace.
He kept walking until they reached the Ambassador Black's room.

"This will be your room from now on. It is Ambassador Black 's room. So, take utter care of it. I shall prefer you not to question me. In the meantime let no one to know your presence."

With that Lord of Dixing left the room leaving a confused Ye Zun inside.

Ye Zun had no strength to care. He just sat at the chair and gazed into the eternal darkness. It took nearly six months for him to recover just a little from his brother's confession.

In the meantime, Lord of Dixing visited him each and every day.

After six months from the war, back in Dixing

Lord of Dixing, gracefully walked into the chamber. He saw Ye Zun leaned against the table looking at the emptiness in front of him.

Ye Zun turned and slightly bowed his head.

"Your highness"

"I have a request for you. From now on, I will give you the position which was held by Ambassador Black. And I don't take no for an answer."

"Your highness had faith in me to let me stay here. I won't fail you lord"

Lord of Dixing left the room with a slight smile on his face. That's it, he hasn't failed the Ambassador black.

After a year from the war, back in Dixing

Lord of Dixing has sent a letter explaining about the new rules and asking permission from the highest authority in Haxing. He also sent a request to held a meeting with one of Dixing's highest authorities. It was actually Ye Zun's request to held a meeting.

Ye Zun heard a conservation here in Dixing the day before and it made him want to pay a visit to Zhao Yunlan.

The day before -

Ye Zun felt very uneasy. He decided to take a visit to the sacred place where he was held for 10,000 years.
Whenever he felt unworthy of living he visited this place to remind him that one little mistake can make everything upside down.

He saw a tall figure standing in front of the pillar. The person was talking to himself.

'Lord of Dixing' Ye Zun released some of his energy and listened carefully.

"Ambassador Black, I know the hallows are safe inside the pillar. I have fulfilled your request by handing over your position to your brother and as you said I will protect him until your return"

Lord of Dixing turned his head to leave the place.

Ye Zun quickly returned to his chamber through a portal. He is on the cloud nine.

He can't even describe what he's feeling right now. No words can describe this feeling. He is purely happy. Happy tears running down his cheek.

"My brother will be back. I will await your return, my dear gege"
