She clenched her fist tighter than it was before as she tried very hard to withhold her anger, they could see that she could no longer contain her anger towards the men, the only thing that could make Huo ying so angry and ruthless was her sister. The first time they had seen her so that angry was when they went out together at the age of ten, they asked a drunkard for directions but he just insulted them and walked away staggering, as he went past them he met another man who was also drunk like him, they started a discussion regarding the issues of the jianghu world. Huo qiang then asked them to wait there while he went to ask for directions. As soon as he left the men mentioned Huo lan, they began to curse her and say bad things about her. Huo ying couldn't control herself so she used her flame power on the man, the man's body began to burn slowly without fire, he just kept shouting and insisting that he was hot but no one knew what was wrong with him, seeing what Huo ying and done, the twins dragged her away from the scene. When Huo qiang found out what she had done, he reported to the sect leader and Huo ying was banned from going out throughout the year. Seeing her reaction now they could feel her murderous aura, Huo qiang quickly held her hand to calm her down, " young mistress why don't we go back to the sect now" Huo mei said anxiously, " He must die, i will never forgive anyone who talks of my sister in that manner" Huo ying said breathing heavily, her eyes burned with anger and her jaw clenched.

"Huo ying you must not, if you kill him here they will blame the flame sect" Huo qiang pleaded, " yes, young mistress you have to control your anger " Huo lian added, she pushed Huo qiang hand away from her wrist and said " i don't care where he dies but he has to die today", she stood up and left the restaurant, Huo qiang went to pay the waiter and followed behind her with the other two, " young mistress where are you going" Huo mei asked, she turned around to answer her question " i saw that man before when i went past the mountain pathway we are going to wait for him there since you don't want me to kill him in the restaurant" she said and continued walking, they looked at each other knowing that there is nothing they could to stop her. ​​

They arrived at the mountain pathway and waited there for the man, " young mistress please just let the man go you promised not to kill anyone again unless it is to protect yourself" Huo mei said , upon hearing what Huo mei had just said, she became more furious, flames emerged from her hand and her eye balls changed to a red colour, they moved away from her seeing how she had, her murderous aura had increased.

Just then the man staggered through the pathway, upon seeing him she smiled in satisfaction. she ordered Huo qiang to grab the man and bring him before her, he had no choice so he did as she had ordered. The man who was still not aware of the situation began to curse at her as he was forced to get on his knees, she knelt down on one knee in front of him and used her index finger to raise his jaw, " it seems like you do not know who i am" she said smiling, " who are you? " the man asked sounding confused and scared, she conjured fire using her hand, the man immediately became terrified and started shivering.

" seems like you now realise who I am, how dare you curse my sister" she said as she stood up from her position, the man immediately clasped his hands together and pleaded " please spare my life I was ignorant, I promise to never say such things about the flame sect again, please spare my life", she laughed hysterically in an evil manner and immediately set the man on fire, the man continued to scream in pain but they couldn't do anything to help him, she walked away in satisfaction along with the others.

When they reached the sect, the disciples greeted her as she entered but she inored them and walked briskly to her room while Huo qiang and the twins stayed back with the disciples, they were surprised at her reaction to their greetings, normally she would stay and chat with them a little before she went back to her room, they knew that for some days she would be unapproachable whenever she acted that way, " senior disciples, what happened to the young mistress" shang cheng who is also a disciple of flame sect asked, " someone just cursed Huo lan, I am sure you know what to do from now on, no one must go close to her or talk to her unless she speaks to you first" he said, " YES!! " they all chorused.

The three of them went to meet her but they found the sect leader at her room entrance, " sect leader" they greeted as they bowed their head, " what happened to Huo ying when she left the sect this morning she was alright" he asked looking worried, " we went to a restaurant to eat but two men started talking about the flame sect, they said so many bad things about the flame sect but the young mistress was still alright, then.... " Huo qiang hesitated, the sect leader already knew what he wanted to say " then the men cursed Huo lan, is that it" he completed

" yes, sect leader" Huo qiang said, "then what did she do later on" the sect leader asked with fear clearly written on his face, they were all scared to tell the sect leader what she did to the man so they kept quiet, " TALK!!! " the sect leader shouted, " she burned the man to death using the flame of torture" Huo mei quickly answered, hearing what she had just said the sect leader felt like his legs could no longer support the weight of his body, he staggered and almost fell but Huo qiang held his arm quickly, the flame of torture is the most brutal flame skill in their sect, the person cannot die even though he is burning until all his bones have been burned to ashes without his head burning and no one can put out the fire not even the wind sect, he removed his arm from Huo qiang hand and screamed " WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HER!!! ", they realised that the sect leader was angry so they immediately knelt down.

" we tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen, her murderous aura grew increasingly as she waited to kill him and her eye balls turned red" Huo lian said, " do you realise that if any one sees his body... oh there is no body in fact, if anyone sees the ashes and the head they will realise that someone from the flame sect did it and then we would have no chance to bring Huo lan back from the wind sect, how could you leave his remains and come back" he said while breathing heavily, " we would go and destroy it " Huo qiang said, the three of them stood up and left them sect to destroy the remains, they found out that the man was still burning, in order to ease his pain Huo qiang used a piece of bamboo stick to stab him. They buried the body afterwards and returned to the sect.

Aggravated by what she had done, her father knocked down the door to her room with his spiritual energy and walked up to her bed, " how dare you commit such an act " he said in anger, she stood up aggressively and said " father do you expect me to spare that animal who cursed my sister to be burned i don't care if he had said that to me but not my sister " she said aloud

" you just proved to them that we are a cult, back then when you killed someone because of this same reason I warned you not to do it again but you still did and this time you used the flame of torture"

" I will not forgive anyone who speaks about my sister in such manner not even a disciple of the flame sect, they deserve to die, if there was something worse than the flame of torture i would have used it on him" she said and turned her back

" if anyone finds the remains of the man or if they see if burning, they would definitely find out that it was done the flame sect and by then we would have lost the chance to bring back Huo lan"

" I see no reason why we cannot just attack the wind sect and bring back my sister it has been sixteen years now and we are more powerful than the forces of all the sect joined together" she said as she turned to face him again

" this doesn't concern only the jianghu world but also the emperor, do you plan to attack the imperial palace too, are you willing to see your fellow disciples die just to get your sister back", she realised that her father was right, she definitely cannot see her fellow disciples die because of her selfishness, she slumped as she sat on her bed helplessly, she started crying when she realised that she was wrong " I am sorry father i just couldn't watch them talk about my sister like that when she is suffering in the wind sect and being labelled as a monster" she said as she started crying loudly.

Her father knelt by her bedside and hugged her, " in two years' time your sister would be back, we have all endured the feeling of missing her but being unable to see her for the past sixteen years, although your mother looks okay and smiles every day, she is crying in her heart ", he let go of her and wiped the tears on her face.

" next time I will control my anger father, i will never let something like this happen again" she said and hugged her dad once again.
