Do you really know your father?

These words echoed in Long Xun's mind again and again. He was so pressurized by the whole situation that he couldn't think about anything properly. He couldn't discern between right and wrong.

He looked at his own father's laughing face and he fell into a dilemma. He didn't know what to believe and whom to trust. Li Youbin's words, his father's words, and all he knew about his own father fought against each other in his brain. He felt so burdened that his head was aching in pain.

But amidst all of this, he still couldn't believe nor would he think his father would compel him or tell him to kill somebody. He wouldn't and Long Xun was sure of it.

He looked up again and he said firmly, "You are not my father."

Just as he as firmly declared these words, a burst of loud laughter echoed throughout the whole place. It was so cynical and so full of mockery. Long Xun turned and looked at Li Youbin was walking towards himself and laughing loudly.

"Haha.... you are still denying the truth?" Li Youbin asked him.

"Shut up!" Long Xun sneered.

"Humph! Accept it, Long Xun. Your father is an evil man. He is the one who destroyed Li Xiaolu's life. Isn't it Long Yixuan?" Li Youbin asked.

"Yes my dear Xun, I am a very evil person. I am selfish. I am greedy. I don't care about anyone else. I only care about my purpose and that is to destroy the three families and be the only Master of this world. Haha....." Long Yixuan laughed.

"And I am going to do that using your hands, Long Xun. You are my son, a king and that's why you shouldn't have any weaknesses. Kill Li Xiaolu and break all of your shackles." Long Yixuan advised as he walked towards Long Xun and patted his back as an encouragement.

Long Xun scowled and he pushed away from the man that looked like his father. "Stay away, " he warned as he pushed away the man, and this time he could actually touch this person. He was a little surprised that he could actually touch this man that looked like his father.

How?

If he could touch this person then why couldn't he touch Li Youbin? He remembered clearly that when he tried to touch Li Youbin before, his hand went through his body. What on earth is going on?

Long Xun could only think about one thing at this moment — LEAVE. He realized that the more he was staying here the more his brain was getting messed up. He needed to leave. He didn't know if all of this was his dream, his hallucination, or something else. He just wanted to get out of here.

But how?

As he looked around for a way to escape from this place, the man that looked like his father tapped his shoulder. "Planning to leave?" the man asked.

Long Xun frowned deeply but instead of answering anything he chose to be silent and search for a way out.

"Stop looking around. You can't leave here like this. And where would you go? This is your own house." His fake father mentioned.

Long Xun paused. His eyes widened in realization when he remembered that this was his own home — The Long Mansion. His ancestral home where he was born, where he grew up, and the very same house which he had to leave because of that incident.

At this moment, he realized why he felt that this place was similar. This was his house before it was burned out and destroyed. Long Xun's eyes welled up with tears again as he recalled his days spent in this house. There were so many beautiful memories in this house that he remembered clearly.

As Long Xun was reminiscing of the good old days, he heard his father speak again.

"Our beautiful house was burned by those despicable people, my son. You need to complete our revenge. You need to get me my justice. " Long Yixuan smirked, "For that, you need to clear your first obstacle. Kill Li Xiaolu and you will be totally free."

"N-no..."

"Don't you want to go out from here? If you want to be totally free then kill her with the knife in your hands." Long Yixuan laughed clinically as he pointed towards somebody.

Stunned, Long Xun looked at the knife in his hand, and then he looked at the person pointed by the fake Long Yixuan. He gasped in shock to see Li Xiaolu standing in front of him.

"X-xiaolu...." he called in surprise. "You.... what are you doing here?" he asked.

"Long Xun, " Li Xiaolu smiled and she took a step towards him but as she was walking towards him, she stopped when she looked at the knife in his hand. Looking back and forth between him and the knife, she asked still with a smile on her face, "Are you going to kill me?"

Long Xun's eyes widened and he quickly shook his head. "No!" he denied and tried to throw the knife in his hands away but no matter how much he tried, he wasn't able to throw the knife away.

"Oh!" Li Xiaolu smiled and she resumed walking towards him.

"Don't.... don't come here," he warned when he realized that he couldn't control his own body. He wanted to move but he couldn't. He wanted to throw the knife away but he couldn't. Instead, his hand clutched the knife tightly as if he would stab Li Xiaolu as soon as she was closer to him.

"Now it's a good chance, Long Xun. Kill her..." he heard Long Yixuan's whisper in his left ear.

"Shut up!" he rebuked.

"X-xiaolu..... I can't control my body. Stay away, " he screamed at Li Xiaolu but she still kept walking towards him just like a puppet.
