The moment she had been waiting for had just arrived, the performer had just asked someone to volunteer for the tightrope walk. she raised her hands and shouted eagerly hoping that she would be the chosen one, she was quite confident that she could make it. The performer looked around for who to choose, he noticed a young guy shouting enthusiastically at the front then he decided to pick him for the tightrope walking.

she climbed onto the rope and tried to steady herself, she balanced herself and started walking on the rope, the audience were all cheering for her in excitement. she looked down to see the audience reactions then she got excited herself and then began to walk faster on the rope, everyone that gathered to watch the performance couldn't help putting on an expression that read danger on their faces. ​​

She suddenly felt like she couldn't keep her balance on the rope then she tried to slow down in hopes of regaining her balance on the rope, Huo lian, Huo mei and Huo Qiang arrived at the scene, they went into the crowd to find out what had made everyone in the crowd wear such a white expression on their face, at the sight of their young mistress tightrope walking, they all sucked in a breath of cold air. Their eyes widened when they finally grasped the situation...

"YOUNG MISTRESS!!!!" they shouted

She looked down to see who had just shouted but it was too late, she had lost her balance on the rope, she struggled to keep her balance but her effort was useless, she missed her step and screamed as she fell praying in her mind for someone to catch her before she landed, she fell so suddenly that she couldn't use her martial art.

Huo Qiang rushed forward to catch her but suddenly, a black shadow flew past him swiftly and quickly grabbed Huo Ying by her waist, she turned to see who had just saved her and was flabbergasted at the sight of a guy that didn't look seem like a commoner but he was so attractive and fit, he finally brought her to land and let go of her waist.

The three of them ran to her side, they were looking as if their heart had jumped out of their chest but she wasn't paying them any attention, instead, her eyes were fixed on the young man who had just saved her.

The guy who had just saved her was about to walk away so she quickly stopped him by holding his wrist, he turned to look at her hand holding his wrist then he raised his head.

"Thank you for saving me," she said with a smile etched on her lips then she cupped her palm and fist together and bowed her head to thank him, he dusted his black cloth and looked at her face coldly.

"you are welcome" he replied and turned to leave but was stopped by her once again, he turned back to face her and sighed, " what again " he said in an impatient tone.

" I would like to know your name so i can repay you one day for saving me" she said as she smiled awkwardly not knowing what is reaction will be to her question

He sighed once again and replied in a rather cold manner " i don't think you will be able to repay me, so there is no need to know my name", he walked away afterwards without waiting for her reply, she looked at him with a downcast expression as he walked away, she was hoping she could be friends with him but he didn't seem willing to be friends with her.

She went back to meet her friends who had been watching her as she talked with the stranger, " young mistress why did you do such a dangerous thing again" Huo lian asked looking worried, " i thought i had already perfected it the last time but you guys caused it if you hadn't shouted I wouldn't have fallen" Huo yin said as she arranged her cloth and hair, " young mistress who was that young man" Huo mei asked, " i don't know him he just saved me and left" Huo ying said, the disappointment in her voice was obvious that they all looked at her with curiosity written on their faces, " young mistress why do you sound disappointed" Huo lian asked

" i asked him for his name so i could repay him for saving me, but he replied me in a cold manner and left without telling me his name"

" seems like his deeds doesn't resemble his personality" Huo mei said and the three girls all nodded in agreement to her statement, Huo ying suddenly noticed that Huo qiang hasn't said anything for a while, she glanced at the remaining two to inform them of his silence. whenever Huo qiang was silent on most occasions it means he is angry about something, " qiang are you angry about something" she asked knowing it was an obvious question, " isn't it obvious, i am sure even the stranger who saved you must have thought you were silly to have tried something as dangerous as this" He said looking furious. " qiang you don't have to take it so serious at least i am fine now" she said as she turned her body for him to confirm that she was alright, he looked away and said " let's go ", she held his wrist and smiled nervously " you are not going to tell my dad, are you?"

" is that even a question, of course i will"

" but this matter is so trivial you don't need to inform him of this" she said and gave him a cute look while blinking her eyes, " this issue is heavier than mount Tai, if something had happened to you what will happen to the sect" he said and moved his eyes from her face and brushed her hands away from his wrist. She gave Huo mei and Huo lian a look which indicated that they should help her convince Huo qiang, Huo mei quickly rushed forward and held his sleeve "qiang please, if you tell sect leader we would be banned from going out I am sure you don't want that, do you? ", the rest nodded in agreement and fixed their eyes on him, " just this once then but young mistress please don't do something as dangerous as this again" he said, she promised not to do it again and they all continued shopping together.

They went into a restaurant and ordered their food, " boss, give me one bowl of noodles, stir fired pork and wonton soup" Huo ying said, they stared at her as she made her order and nodded their head, she turned to face them and realised that they had been staring at her the whole time, " is there something on my face" she said as she used her hands to wipe her face, " are you going to finish all of that, you ate breakfast before practicing this morning" Huo mei said, " I know I am nagging but as a martial artist you need to keep fit" Huo qiang said and the other two nodded in agreement.

" okay i get the point but why did you all nod when you are ganging up on me" Huo ying complained

" you just did the same thing for me with them on the street, I guess you don't like it any lesser than i do" Huo qiang said, " you...." Huo ying who was about to argue with Huo qiang was interrupted by the waiter who brought her orders, she immediately forgot that she was arguing with him and started eating. the waiter was about to leave but was called back by Huo mei, " give us three bowl of noodles with scallions in two of them" she said, " what of the third one" the waiter asked, " don't put scallions in the third one" she replied.

" who owns the third bowl of noodles" Huo ying asked as she used her chopstick to force a chunk of twirled noodles into her mouth, " have you forgotten that Huo qiang doesn't like scallion" Huo mei replied, the waiter brought the bowls and arranged it on the table, " thanks Huo mei said as she passed one bowl to Huo lian and the other to Huo qianq

" you are so good at remembering things, i had already forgotten that he doesn't like scallion, did you remember?" Huo ying said facing Huo lian, " of course i didn't, she always remembers things like this" Huo lian said as she twirled her noodles and slurped it gently while drawing it into her mouth, "thanks" Huo qiang said as he began eating his noodles.

" i wonder when we can see the young mistress of the flame sect" a rugged looking man said in a discussion with three other rugged looking men, they all turned to look at the table where the men were seated

" I heard that the young mistress of the flame sect has very powerful flame skills and she uses the sect disciples to enhance her skills, why do you think none of their disciples have been seen for years now" the second man said

" that means they don't have any disciples left, such cult should have been wiped out a long time ago" the third man said and they all commented in agreement to his statement. this fools who do they think they are to make such comments about our sect" Huo mei said as she slammed her hand on the table, " I will go and confront them now" Huo ying said as she stood up in anger, Huo qiang held her arm and pulled her back to sit, " remember sect leader ordered that we are not to disclose our identities as people from the flame sect", " yes young mistress, you should listen to Qiang they are not worth you anger" Huo lian said in an attempt to calm her down, she finally sat down and took a deep breath.

" did you hear of what happened sixteen years ago" the first man continued, " what do you mean" one them asked, " while they were taking her twin sister to the wind sect sixteen years ago, she burned all the disciples of the wind sect that were transporting her" the first man said as he gulped down a cup of wine.

" really, they are both witches, they should have burned them to death while they were still young" the second man said, Huo ying clenched her fist upon hearing what the men had said, tears trickled down her face as she was reminded of her sister, no one in the sect ever talked about her sister because when they did she would train crazily for days without stopping until she falls sick whenever she is reminded of her sister.
