The sound of a xiao broke the tension. The melody was soft and controlled as well as it is a pleasant sound to hear. 'The jades of lan do deserve their title. They have a calm exterior no matter the circumstance.' as she finished her thought she saw all of the swords fly up into the air and stick to the ceiling. Almost as if the wood ceiling had magnets. ' it must be from the song as well. Musical instruments do have these properties as well.'

After that, she heard Chao talk, mostly about himself and the cloud recess lectures. ' I'm guessing that he's just here to make a nuisance but the 2 figures in red are really here for the lecture. There are also more people in the back who I guess is also here to attend the lecture. I can't really see them through. Guess we shall see soon enough.' Yaling was wrong about the last one. She never saw who was also with the wens but she had a pretty good idea who.

As Lan Qiren dismissed them because of the Wens disturbance she went to talk to Yanli and hopefully continue her friendship with Mian Main and her other friend Lian an. 'maybe we can all be friends but first I need to find out if everyone is available after today's lecture.' she knew Yanli was free because they had nothing to study and she didn't have anything to do but she wasn't so sure about Lian an and Mian Mian.

As she left to find Mian Mian and get the girls, her brother was doing something different. What he was doing she knew not. ' Maybe I can get a chance to talk to that girl. I think her name is Wen Qing. She must be that doctor for the wens that Qui Bai told me about. They are friends, are they not?'

Xiang wanted to hang out with Wei Wu Xian and his friend of sorts but he had other pressing matters. The headaches he had been having had gotten worse and he didn't want Yaling to get involved so he had to go and write a letter to mother.

' Maybe the mother knows how to help me or someone who does. She and Yaling are the only ones who I can tell this about. Well, Mazu knows but she doesn't really see a problem. Jiang Cheng couldn't really help me either. He just knows about it which isn't really what I care about right now.'

He walked out of the lecture room towards his and Yalings personal quarters with his hand pressed on his forehead. Some people questioned him if he needed help but he declined. If he didn't get back soon his eyes would start to turn red and darkness would surround him. That would definitely get him thrown out and a social outcast at the very least.

Pushing open the door he collapsed on the bed with pain and exhaustion. ' And according to dad I still have to go to the underworld today. What a crappy day.' Trying to ignore the headache Xiang walked towards his case and rummaged through it for a minute before finding the pain killer pills and the medicine pills he needed. ' I probably have to up the dose for today because my demons have been extremely unruly. Especially Sun Yu!'

Of course, Sun-Yu didn't actually respond but he did try to pinch Xiang in hopes of angering him. I didn't work.

Xiang shut his eyes when another wave of pain flooded his body. It felt like a thousand needles poking him at the same time. Definitely not fun in the slightest. 'It's alright Xiang it is only 2 times as bad as last time. I don't think I'll die this time. At least I think so.'

After ten minutes he felt the pain stop. Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes again to try and sleep. ' Yaling should come back soon in an hour so that's enough time for a nap. I'll worry about work later if we have any that is. Have to ask her about it later when we have dinner.' He tugged at the blanket so that it rested below his chin and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

Yaling Pushed open the door to find Xing fast asleep. ' He doesn't usually sleep at this time. if anything it's probably at 11:00. Maybe it's the demons again. They usually aren't this rowdy so what's happening? Maybe it's trying to send us a sign. You don't have to hurt my older brother to send that message right?' She put a hand on Xiang's forehead and relaxed when she felt that it wasn't burning.

Yaling gently shook Xiang up and then moved to the kitchen to make food. Thankfully they had stocked it so that she could make some noodles and porridge. Using her powers she made the heat rise so that I could cook faster. ' Honestly when I'm not fighting, giving advice, Granting wishes, and helping people I use most of my magic to help me do daily things. Gods can be lazy as well after all. We don't work around the clock every day.'

A/n: This isn't a perfect ending to chapter 4 but hey I tried. Thank you all for reading and voting! This is my most read book so thank you! I really appreciate it. Until next time.
