In that three days, the two Devils seems to be thinking about a lot of things.

Azief could guess they are thinking about the matter of the past. Now that they have seen that Wu Qi had slowly assembling his old life again, they too seem to be deep in thought.

The Three Devils of Han come together because they wanted to avenge their family. Azief sword strike had ended that goal.

The Emperor of Yong that have framed their families is dead.

Then why still stay? What more needs to be done? Azief knows that all the three Devils surely had not thought that they would have a chance to think this.

They must not have thought that they could even fulfil their objective. Azief appearance once again seems to show its impact but changing the fates of the Three Devils.

Xi Feng on the other hand think and ponder of the story of Lin Guifei.

He was deeply amazed at the love that Lin Guifei had for Wu Qi and sometimes Azief thinks his disciple would think of that Poison Maiden in the Poison valley.

He seems to be thinking about whether such love really exist in the world. Such powerful love that no one could come in between them. And he ponders about what is true love.

Time and suffering did not erase the feeling that Lin Guifei had for Wu Qi. Some poets said that woman are fickle and men are coldhearted.

But the story of Lin Guifei and Wu Qi shows a broken man with a strong woman who fought for the love she wanted

Then there is also the matter of the Emperor and Lin Guifei. Men are tender in its compassion towards beauties, and woman is not always a fickle being.

Azief himself was thinking a lot. His mind seems to gravitate towards two women in his life that impacted him the most.

In that three days they did not move away from the forest as they waited. In the third day, Wu Qi returned.

Azief only asked one thing when he returned

'What is your name?' he asked. And Wu Qi answer

'Han Xiao' Azief only sighed and nodded

He then looks towards that villa in the distance and sighed. He touched the sword in his lap as countless word light were unleashed upon a rocky hill.

When the light faded out what is left is a declaration in the form of a deep carved words into the stony surface of the hill.

Han Xiao look at that word carved onto the stony surface of the hill and he nodded. Xi Feng pushed his wheelchair once again as they leave the forest and the mystical Lin Villa.

The sound of flute playing as they departed was melancholic and very sad but the few notes in the end seems to hint at yearning.

Azief praises at the melodies and even Xi Feng was affected by the music. When the music ended, the forest around the Lin Villa suddenly were filled with fog.

Han Xiao did not look back at that Villa but a tear falls down from his face and there is a fire of determination in his eyes.

Azief knew why the Crippled Devil could not look back.

Because Azief is also like this sometimes. If Han Xiao look back, he might not have the determination to take that one step forward.

Love could be simpleā€¦and it could be hard.

It is not this fairytale life where everything is rainbows and full of only happy moments.

There will be pain. There will be hurt but through it all, overcoming it and getting past it, that is how you keep the love.

Azief don't know what to say to Han Xiao because he could not choose the way other people live their life. Han Xiao had chosen. And he had chosen to follow him.

The only thing he could do was leaving that carving into the stony hill. What he carved onto that stony hill was that

'Sword God will bring the Three Devils back'

Azief did not know what she would think, but he would hope his promise would ease the heart of Lin Guifei

Once he made a promise he would surely fulfil it. He knows that Han Xiao wanted to accompany him in this last journey.
