"Scorpion, make sure everything is in order until the Elections Board announces, don't let anything disrupt that moment. " Lin Hong's commanding voice responded.
" All right Young Master Lin... " He hung up the phone call before glancing at Luo Peng who was standing just nearby.
"What happened? Are we going back?" He inquired curiously as he fixed his gaze on Scorpion.
"We have to wait until the winner is announced before we could return to the Camp, Young Master Lin Hong's orders." He patted his shoulders comforting.
"Why is it him? Isn't Lin Huang the one in charge?" They strolled back to the hall as they chitchat.
"I do t know, I think we might be done by midnight." He gazed around his eyes patronizing the entire hall, everything was peaceful and calm.
"Mnnnnhh." Luo Peng hummed as their eyes roamed around.
In the forest, Luo Wei who was cooking suddenly the pot of water overturned and poured into the fire and turned it off.
The entire kitchen was suddenly covered with smoke and she couldn't even see clearly.
Lin Juan got up from the bed after hearing her loud coughs and dashed into the kitchen only to see her covered in smoke.
"Luo Wei.." he hurriedly carried her out.
"Cough, cough.." she coughed loudly as she inhaled the smoke.
" What happened in there? " He worriedly inquired as he placed her down on the veranda while gazing at the kitchen.
"I don't know, the pot suddenly overturned and the water poured inside the fire." She explained embarrassedly as she hid her face.
Lin Juan eyed her and just shook his head, he now wonders how she had survived all alone in this wild forest.
"Did you cook on normal days?" He sat down joining her on the veranda.
"No, I will just drink wine and eat fruits." She honestly responded as her face flushed from embarrassment.
"Ohhh... I will take care of the kitchen." He stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Hey, you are still injured, how about I try out again." She hurriedly held his shirt halting his footsteps.
"It's okay, if I let you go to the kitchen again, you might burn it down, and then we won't have any food." He turned around and patted her head adoringly.
" Oooh... " She opened her mouth wide open surprised by his sudden act, her eyes shone brightly, they were pure and innocent.
" No wonder I had felt this aura. " He mumbled as he gazed into her eyes.
" Did you say anything? " She raised her eyebrows inquiring.
" No, just stay out here... I will be done soon. " He walked into the kitchen but Luo Wei tagged behind him.
" I will help you. " They got into the kitchen and began clearing the wet firewood before arranging for dry ones.
In the valley, Lin Huang returned to the bed and sat there while he fiddled with the necklace that now hung on his neck.
It had Zhou Hua's insignia and it was nicely designed.
"Zhou Hua, I don't know how the future will be .." he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes while Luo Feng kept watching.
In the Camp, they had exhausted all the directions he wanted the Camp to take the path, "All right, you are all dismissed.." Lin Hong stood up and walked to the couch and sat down facing the television.
"Lin Hong.." Zhou Hong, Zhou Zhei, Zhou Ling, and Lin Fai sat down joining him.
"Yes, anything I can do for you?" His voice was flat and distant, it was as if his mind was far away and occupied, the Lin Hong in front of them was just an empty shell that wanted to achieve everything as soon as possible.
"Did Zhou Hua accompany him?" Zhou Hong inquired worriedly as he heard that news but didn't know how to face his grandpa and pass that news to him.
" Yes, he was the one who performed the said medical procedure, I'm certain that he wouldn't have stayed here.. he must be resenting me. " He felt heartache, to Zhou Hua, Lin Huang was always his priority but after what he was forced to do, they may never see each other face to face.
"Why did they decide to go away now that we were almost grasping victory?" Zhou Hong lightly frowned, he couldn't understand Zhou Hua's sudden actions.
"Stop asking me questions." He banged the table harshly shutting everyone else who was in the conference room, he was getting more grumpy and moody.
Lin Fai pressed his shoulders trying to calm him down, he understood that was a heartbreaking topic and he didn't want to talk about it.
They all kept quiet and watched the television as the news was broadcasted.
Ming Xie and Eagle walked into the computer room and saw that the shadow guards were busy keeping an eye.
"Anything suspicious?" Ming Xie inquired as she sat down with Luo Thu.
"Yeah and we informed the shadow guards, they are taking care of it, but it isn't the Capital station." They explained what had gone down earlier on.
"All right, do inform us of anything that you guys are unable to take care of." They exited the computer room and went down to the training grounds.
"How about we do some boxing?" Ming Xie suggested as she eyed the two men.
" Sure. " Eagle nodded his head and moved towards the training hall where the boxing ring was positioned, Luo Thu silently tagged behind them.
In the sea, they were swimming forward when they suddenly met Aiguo and An Tang.
" Temmo, Eleven, Ten... " They exclaimed loudly in surprise, they thought that they would arrive soon but got delayed.
"Aiguo, An Tang.. where have you guys been? We didn't see you at the kingdom when we returned." Temmo approached them enthusiastically.
"We were guarding the borders but got attacked, where is the crown prince? And where's the seventh prince and the first prince? They said they are with you. " An Tang inquired curiously as he glanced at the people who were accompanying their fellow men.
" Crown Prince has an urgent mission so he is out, the seventh and first prince remained back in the Tang clan. " Temmo explained to them.
" Ooohh.. so where are you guys headed to? " Aiguo inquired as his eyes roamed to Wei Wei who resembled his father.
"We are going back to the Human Realm." They swam forward as they all moved in the northwestern direction, the two of them hummed before joining the crew and returning.
"All of you be careful..." Luo Wei's cautioning voice reverberated in the entire surroundings when huge waves stormed towards their direction.
