Jingyi turned his head to look at the person who was calling him. He said, "Finally you came out."

Sizhui was perplexed. He asked, "Were you waiting for me?"

Jingyi replied, "Not really waiting... As you know we won't be allowed to talk if we are in our bed chamber. Its soon gonna be nine."

"Then?"

Jingyi's eyes suddenly curved in a mischevious stare and the corner of his lips twisted up wards. Sizhui finally understood his purpose of waiting for him outside the cold spring. But still he tried his best not to think.

Jingyi said in a low voice, "Hey if you need any advice for position then I've lots of those kinds of books disguised as literature poem books."

Shizui at first didn't understand what he meant by 'position' and 'those kind of books'. However, after thinking for a while, he finally understood what his collegue meant.

His face turned from white to red, red to purple, then finally ended up in red again. He lost him temperment and shouted, "Impudent!"

Jingyi laughed out loud and said, "Shouting is prohibited in Cloud Recess." Sizhui was at a loss of what to do. Jingyi really misunderstood about them. He need to clear the misunderstanding.

As he was about to speak, some other disciple who must have been the incharge to look around spoke, "You two, its about to be nine soon. Head back to your respective rooms." After finishing his sentence he leaped up and left.

Shizui muttered to himself, "Lets solve the misunderstanding tomorrow."

"What?" Jingyi however heard his muttering. He thought that he must've wanted to know about the pornographic book but was embarassed to ask. So he grinned and continued, "No need to ask for it. I'll hand it to you tomorrow morning."

Sizhui hurriedly exclaimed, "No need!"

On the other hand, in Lanling. The sect leader just entered the Koi Tower. Every discpile and maiden greeted him. One of a middle aged maiden, who's bun was tied up high, and had put on some rouge on her face, noticed that something was off with the sect leader's mood.

She asked, "Sect Leader are you sick?"

"I'm not!"

"You don't need to force yourself Sect Leader. Your face is already very red."

" ... "

JinLing didn't noticed at all that all the way to Lanling from the Dafan mountain, his face was red. That means his Jiujiu must have noticed it. He must have been suspicious. JinLing was already very embarassed and again after his red face was mentioned, he was even more embarrased.  He was so embarrassed that he was angry.

He said in a forced calm voice, "I'm not sick. I've just now arrived from night hunt, thats why I'm feeling hot."

The maiden took his words and said, "Alright sect leader."

That night JinLing leapt over his bed. Streched his body and blankly stared at ceiling for a while before muttering, "Today was a long day."

He again thought of those gentle eyes and and the high nose with perfect jaw line of Sizhui's face. That ethereal voice which was so pleasant to his ears. And those parted thin lips under the moonlight, if there wouldn't have been any disturbance he might have just-

No. No. No. No.

I'm a Sect Leader and I should have self control!

He repeated these words in his mind. But he still couldn't help but imagine it. And think to himself, why was he so attracted to that man? Above that... he is his friend!

Friend.

Yes, he's just  a  friend.

No more. No less.

He just squished his pillow and kicked under the blanket making it slip down the bed. When the cold breeze lingered around his bare neck did he realise how stupid he was being.

He suddenly got up. Sat with folded knees, and a straight back. He closed his eyes and took a very deep breathe. Hoping when the oxygen enter his lungs and carryout carbon-dioxide it would also take away his nuisance thoughts.

He opened his phoenix eyes and picked up the blanket that had fallen down. Then at mid night, after twisting and turning for a long while, he finally went to deep slumber.

At the dawn, when the sun had already rose from the east. The sun rays had covered the green grass like a blanket. Making the moist dew on the green surface feel warm.

The maidens were cleaning the halls, and some were preparing for breakfast. Some discipiles were reciting the scripture, some were jogging around the vast land and others minding their own business.

And Sect Leader Jin was still sleeping.

"Is Sect Leader still sleeping?"

"I guess so."

"He might be sick. Last night when he came back from night hunt, his face was a bit red."

Finally the old maiden with grey bun, knocked the door of Sect Leader to serve him green tea. After knocking the door for multiple times, there was still no response. So with a 'click' she opened the door herself.

The blanket instead of covering the man, was covering the tiles of the floor. And the man in his deep sleep had an anonymous smile, while drooling over the pillow. His hair was dishevelled and few strands were sticking on his forehead, but still looking somewhat hot and a bit indecent.

The old maiden was shocked then stupified. But thank goodness she wasn't a gossiper like other ladies.

She went over to the young Sect Leader, and tried to wake him up.

"Sect Leader."

"..."

"Sect Leader."

"..."

"SECT LEADER!!!"

JinLing suddenly shot up his eyes wide and shouted, "WAHHH?!!"

The old maiden, "..."

It took less than an incense stick of time for JinLing to realize that how shameful his mannerism was as the Sect Leader of Lanling Jin Clan.

He was kind of embarassed but still managed to maintain his poker face. He wiped off the salaiva that was drooling from his mouth, and fixed his hair.

The maiden kept the tea on the table that was locate beside the bed and picked up the blanket and neatly folded it. Then, she poured the green tea from the kettle into the jade cup.

She handed over the cup of tea to the teenage boy sitting on the bed, "Sect Leader Jin."

JinLing "humm"-ed in response and accepted the tea cup from the old maiden, and took a sip.

Though the old maiden was not from the gossip party of females. However, after seeing how the young Sect Leader was sleeping so nicely, even after the dawn, she couldn't help but become curious.

She said, "Pardon the indecency of this old lady. But could Sect Leader tell to this old maiden what pleasant things the Sect Leader dreamt about?"

Cough. Chough. Cough.

"Ahh is the tea too hot Sect Leader? How did you choke."

JinLing was truly gonna loose his composure if this lady wouldn't shut up now. So he quickly said in a forced calm voice, "No. You may leave now."

"As Sect Leader says." The old maiden cupped her hands and bowed before leaving.

After she left, JinLing quickly put down the cup on the table, slapped himself so that he could forcely comeback to the reality and not drool over something that can never belong to him.

Never.

Maybe.

Who knows what will happen in the future...
