As I continued to walk through the woods, the feeling of uneasiness upset my stomach. I stopped walking and sat down by a tree. After taking a few long breaths, I stood back up and made my way to the village.

I could see some houses from the distance and I was stuck between feeling sick and excited.

"Oh!" A person gasped as I accidentally walked into them.

'I didn't notice there was a person in front of me since I was too busy looking at the village.'

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you." I apologized to the woman.

"It's okay! Are you alright?" She asked with a concerned expression.

"I'm alright." I nodded in response.

"Are you on the way to the village as well?" She questioned as we both started walking in the same direction.

"Yes... you?"

"I'm meeting some people there." She answered.

Our walk was silent and a bit awkward. I could tell she wanted to say something but would turn away with a nervous chuckle whenever I'd look in her direction.

As we neared the village we both heard people screaming. I looked at her to see if she also heard what I did and she nodded. The both of us ran to the location and saw a giant statue fighting some cultivators.

I felt my eyes widen when I noticed the Dancing Fairy Statue standing there. The sound of a flute began to play a piece...

...Which seemed to summon a man with chains around him? In an instant, he took down the statue, but it happened to be an illusion.

Once he landed I was able to get a better look at his face, causing my heart to stop.

"Wen Ning?" I shakily asked out loud, catching his attention along with everyone else.

'I didn't mean to say that out loud...'

I walked towards him, despite the cultivators yelling at me not to get near him while he quietly stood there. As I neared him, I placed my hand over his cheek and felt myself starting to tear up.

"It's you." I cried as I wrapped my arms around him. I felt his arms slowly going around me in return when I suddenly was yanked away from him.

He seemed to snap out of his trance in anger and began to fight everyone that had surrounded us. The man wearing the mask once again began to play the flute in a way to calm down Wen Ning.

"Wen Ning!" I exclaimed with worry as I saw everyone attacking him.

I couldn't move since the boy that pulled me away was still holding onto me.

"Let go." I told him as I tried to get out.

"Why are you so worried about him? You know he's the Ghost General, right? He's a monster." He replied with a bitter tone.

"He's not a monster." I felt myself getting frustrated at his attitude.

"What is he then?" He asked.

"He's my brother!" I slammed my foot on his forcing him to let go of me.

I was about to run towards Wen Ning when a familiar melody was played. Wen Ning slowly made his way toward the masked man.
