Lying down on the cold and damp ground, Yao Yao was alike soulless doll, her eyes looked emptied while at the same time she kept on staring at the blue sky.

Sky, from bright to gradually dark, from warm to gradually cold.

She didn’t know how long she has been staying at there, finally as if she has gotten her strength back, she was finally standing up from ground.

Wandering in this huge palace, The smoke of the battle has completely dissipated, leaving only the bullet holes in the wall.

Yao Yao was walking to every corner where she thought there would be a possibility Yu Ao Tian might show up, while the expression that showed on her face was unspeakable sad and lost.

“You are back.”

Once she entered the Grand Palace. The expression that Lan You showed to her as if he had predicted this would be happened, she would be come back.

Expressionless she down her head, Yao Yao was alike soulless puppet without making any noise she walked to Lan You side.

Suddenly…

Lan You pulled her arm, he pulled her so that she felt on his embrace: “This time, you must have given up, right!”

Gave up!

Perhaps. Yu Ao Tian didn’t save her, she indeed felt so sad, but it wasn’t enough and strong reason for her to give up leaving this place.

“Lan You, don’t forget about the bet we had. Three months hasn’t ended. If you lost, you should free me.”

“You still not giving up?” Lan You’s hand tightened his hug, while that beautiful face was showing a weird cold expression which able to give anyone chill feeling: “Staying beside me, is that really hard for you to do so?”

Hah, to be honest she couldn’t say it hard for her to have interaction with Lan You. Lan You has such beautiful face, moreover he is someone powerful and skillful, sometimes he is also funny, his personality also astounding, to conclude he could be say perfect to be best dream man anyone could have.

Unfortunately, dream lover is only existing in dream. Lan You this person just too unreal, really unreal, his existence just alike this Sky City. Nothing can be real about them (Sky city and Lan You)

“That’s right. I dislike to stay beside you.” Yao Yao intentionally provoked Lan You with her stared.

“Hahahaha.” It was a scary laughing that coming out from Lan You. He looked intoxicated stroking Yao Yao cold face, slowly he said: “Even if you dislike me, you also cannot leave this place. Moreover Yu Ao Tian doesn’t want you anymore.” After said, there was a gleam flashed from his eyes.

A bang sound, Lan You pushed Yao Yao and made her fell and hit on glass coffee table.

The piece of glass coffee table broke to be pieces of glass sheds, there was pain feeling from Yao Yao back. Then a warm blood has wet her shirt, soon it slowly dripping and filling the floor.

She was bearing her painful feeling, Yao Yao curled tight her hand changed her position from sitting to standing up: “Lan You to be honest, since I came to here, I never really had real and good fight with you.” Her corner of mouth slowly curved upward showing her scheming smile, she used forced to hit the ground, then she flipped her body to make good stance of stand up, directly she heading to the wall which hanging two foils..

Stunned, Lan You’s pair of eyes which looked a like poisonous snake, this time was actually showed his love-struck eyesight: “My dear, I have been waiting to see you holding the foil again. This moment, I have really been waiting for too long.”

“So you are really wished to die on my hand, been expecting for this to happen?” It was ruthless word. Pair of her hand beautifully moved the foils, she was rushing to Lan You with murderous intention.

While he looked so quick and flexible when avoiding her attack, he teased her and said: “You know, the expression that you show right now, it still the most beautiful as before and also this is what I like the most from you.” He said while avoiding every attacks that given by Yao Yao.

Never once Yao Yao soft-heart when she tried to pierce him, every moves that she showed, as if she wanted to take Lan You’s life, every attacks were aiming to his vitals.

Unfortunately, Lan You really has good reflect as well speed, moreover he didn’t attack her back but kept on his defensing mode, which really took her energy up.

Yao Yao was trying to make a chance, the foil on her left hand was piercing to Lan You’s ribs. An initially he could avoid this attack but she was doing a fake moves only to use her right hand to pierce on Lan You’s neck.

Immediately the excited gleam on Lan You’s eyes changed, he did sense the fake moves that Yao Yao did, even if he really has speed and able to avoid it, but still that sharp foil succeeded to slid bit of his perfect good looking face.

“Huh.” Lan You let out his unhappy sound, he raised his hand, stroke his injured face. It was only bit of blood that stained on his finger, but that blood able to change the gleam on his eyes. Anyone who saw him right now must be frightened to death. He swinging his hand as if bloodthirsty person.

“My Dear, it seems that I should take it little bit serious now with you.”

After said without waiting for another attack from Yao Yao, Lan You has grabbed her right hand which held a foil, he took that foil and held it. Then he changed his direction of the foil once he took it, quickly he pierced to Yao Yao.

Lan You’s sword skill, she knew very well. It has high accuracy. He could used such soft English foil and used it as a normal hard iron sword. He absolutely awesome person.

Quickly Yao Yao averted from his attack, she didn’t give up and even kept on fighting with Lan You.

Papapapa

Finally the foil on her hand fell on the ground.

It was so clearly she has already used up all her strength, while at the same time she sweating lots.

“Tired.” Lan You saw how exhausting Yao Yao has become, with his charming smile, he said: “Let’s end it.”

The sharp eyes flashed, the sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, and it struck the sword in her hand. Pa a sound, it was the sound of falling foil which Yao Yao held. It fell not far from the wooden chair.

Lost.

Ha, after all she lost in such lame, in her memory, this kind of weakling lost only happened when she was so young, battling with K.

“I am going to my room and have a rest.” Yao Yao was acting as if nothing happened, she turned and returned to her room.

She lied on her bed, because of her sweaty body as well her wounded back, she could feel her entire back was so painful.

“Srt.” She endured the pain, her hand curled into tight fist. Turned over in order to lay on the bed.

Yu Ao Tian doesn’t want you anymore.

He doesn’t want you anymore.

In her ears, there was Lan You’s voice kept on ringing and reminding her, Yao Yao bitterly and painfully covered her ears.

Enough, enough, enough. It was so frustrating, she pulled her quilt up and covered her head.

After one week.

Within seven days in row, Yao Yao was living alike dying. These seven days many things had changed, to put it simple, she was living hellish.

In the beginning, everyday she would stay inside her room, she didn’t come out not even have her meal. She didn’t make movement, the maid would come and send food thing to her room.

If Lan You in good mood, he would come and ask her to have her meal, if he was in bad mood, he would treat her alike dog, forced her to eat all the food. sometimes he would beat her and shouted at her.

After sometime, basically Lan You would treat her with violent. Using force.

Since Yao Yao has already injured herself, due to Lan You bad treatment, her wounds seem not able to cover because before old healed, the new has already created again.

Everyday, when she opened her eyes she would want to keep on sleeping. But when she closed her eyes, she couldn’t sleep.

“Cannot, I shouldn’t keep on going.” Yao Yao was using all her strength to get down from bed: “Srt” She felt pain, broke into cold sweat, she pinched the wounds on her arm.

Slowly she walked to the bathroom, she looked her lame and mess self reflection through mirror. If she kept on being this, perhaps she would be spending all her entire life in this Sky City or she perhaps beaten to death by Lan You.

She took a comb, she brushed her hair, then Yao Yao washed her face.

Actually rather than she slowly waiting people to save her from here, it better for her to depend on herself to escape from this place. This is because only herself than would never betrayed her.

“En, today the mood seems good so that coming out.” Lan You who was reading a newspaper, seeing Yao Yao came out, he slowly put down his newspapers.

“If I am not getting up, you must be have more ways to torture me to death.” She talked back at him, but the moment she opened her mouth, she could feel the pain from her injured mouth corner.

“Hah. Finally your brain work properly.” Lan You took back his newspapers and then continue to read it.

Yao Yao slowly walked to his direction: “I am going to have a stroll, later I will back for lunch.”

“En.”

Right the moment when stepped out from that Grand Palace, sun light pierced into her eyes, perhaps because she has been so long didn’t come out, she felt little bit hard to adapt with this blazing light.

Quickly she fasten her footsteps to the Harem’s palace, she has been knocking the door for sometime but no one opened the door. She not even saw any maids.

“Your Royal Highness Lan Duo.” Suddenly a maid who was passing by, she spotted Yao Yao standing in front the door.

As she realized someone called her, she turned and took a look: “Do you know where are all these Madams?”

“Oh, a week ago, all of them had sent out from Sky City by Master.”

What? Yao Yao surprised, opened wide her eyes. Lan You has sent them all out, huh, after all she was thinking to discuss with Fang Jing Yi how to leave this Sky City.

Whatsoever!

Leaving this place, perhaps it was a best decision and also good choice for them. Although they liked this man, but he never had any feeling for them. It would be good if Lan You also let her leave this place just as how he sent them out from Sky City.

Now Jing Yi has left, who should she look for in order to find ‘Lan You’s edict’. After all, in order to leave this Sky City Yao Yao needed Lan You’s edict.

Returned to the Grand Palace, lunch has already prepared. Yao Yao was eating few spoons. “I back to my room.”

Lan You who was sitting on the opposite way, slowly raised his eyes: “Just said that your brain has worked properly, and now you are repeating the same mistakes?”

“I am really feeling so tired.” Yao Yao put down her chopstick, standing up and then she walked heading to the second floor.

The moment when she wanted to open her door room, An edict.

What kind of thing this edict is? Could it be something alike stamp owned by Lan You?

Her eyes, slowly glanced at the room which located next to her room.

Perhaps, that room might give her an answer.

She nervously standing on the rail of second floor, she even peeking at Lan You who was still in the first floor. Quickly she headed to the next room and than secretly went inside.

Edict… Edict…

If everyone who wanted to leave Sky City must have Master’s edict then, Lan You must have some samples of edict in this place.

Due to the experience which Yao Yao had when came to this room and stole the Nano SD card, she was familiar with all things that put in this place.

She pulled the drawer, tried to look one by one without skipped any corners.

Finally, her eyes locked at locked drawer, she took a needle, Yao Yao was trying to unlock it. After few times finally, ‘creak’ sound heard. She opened the locked drawer.

Once she opened the drawer and pulled it, inside, there were stack of files, moreover above all the files there was a small box.

She opened the small box, inside there were few types of stamp.

It was a stamp for military, it was a stamp for politic, and there was also a bigger stamp with dragon ornament which so eye-catchy.

This type of stamp, impossible it is used for the government or other official files, then it must be… Could it be the stamp has related to the edict?

Without doubted, Yao Yao was taking a piece of paper, then she stamped the stamp on white paper, then she folded it and put into her pocket. Then she put back all the stamps to the box.

“Ok.” When she wanted to put back the box into the drawer, her eyes caught a little thing in the corner.

“This.” Her hand shaking when trying to get that little thing. She took out the thing inside, she looked carefully, the next second her lively eyes looked shocked as well her expression changed: “How impossible this happened?”

Creak

The door opened, Lan You has already stood in front of the door. His cold eyes was staring quietly at Yao Yao who backing him.

At this time, she hasn’t realized Lan You actually had stood behind her.

“My dear, didn’t you say that you are tired, why suddenly you come to my room?”

At her back, it was Lan You gloomy sound heard.

Yao Yao didn’t feel fear, one could see there was a blood trace on her black eyes: “This thing, why it at your place?” She turned her head, she shouted at him, immediately this cold Grand Palace filled with her anger voice.

Lan You was looking at the thing which on her hand, coldly he smiled: “Oh, you are coming here to steal my stuff. Really not learned from your mistakes. Come, my dear, you should get back to your room and have a rest. I will let this slide away.” He moved one step in front, pulled her hand.

Yao Yao was so furious and even swayed his hand: “Lan You, why this Nano SD card can appear in your place? Answer me.”

That’s right, she found the Nano SD card which she handed over to Fang Jing Yi inside the box.

She clearly remembered, that day, she did put that Nano SD Card inside beautiful wooden box, asked Fang Jing Yi to hand it to Vice Governor Xiao. Then why suddenly it still appeared and returned to Lan You?

Which part was gone wrong?

Did Fang Jing Yi betray her? Or did Vice governor Xiao betray her?

Yao Yao was quietly waiting for the answer.

But Lan You was standing on his place, he smiled to her but gave no answer to her.

She slammed hard that Nano SD card to table, then moved one step forward, she pulled Lan You collar shirt, said: “Yu Ao Tian, he, Yu Ao Tian, he, he didn’t know that I still alive and been in Sky City, did he?”

“Hahahahahaha.” It was ironic smiling expression shown on Yao Yao’s face, she slowly loosen her gripped on Lan You collar shirt: “It was me who wronged Yu Ao Tian, misunderstood him. I know if he really knew that I am still alive, impossible he didn’t come to save me. I knew there must be gone wrong during the process.” Really stupid, she really stupid, even though if Yu Ao Tian didn’t come to save her, impossible Bing Ye also didn’t come to save her.

Hahahahaha, hahahahaha. She has been thinking about this for long time, what she found out, after all these were the scheming which set by Lan You.

“Lan You, you are really a scary schemer.” She was so furious to the point she gritted her teeth.

“I always curious, that day when we were trapped inside the circus. Actually you could leave the place easily but you was letting yourself to stay there for three days. It seemed that you had found out I have stolen the Nano SD Card so that in order to delay the time, not letting the Nano SD Card fell into Yu Ao Tian’s hand, you did all these things, did you?”

That’s right.

On the day when the banquet was taking place, Yao Yao did go back to the his room to steal the Nano SD Card. While Lan You who had gotten back earlier than Yao Yao, he was actually standing outside the room. Actually he did hear the sound clearly when she was rummaging through all the boxes inside his room, but he didn’t expose her.

“But didn’t you give the Nano SD Card to Fang Jing Yi before?”

could it be Fang Jing Yi betrayed her?

No.

This impossible. She wouldn’t be mistaken Fang Jing Yi. That pair of eyes, it was pair of sincere eyesight, how impossible she wronged?

Then, could it be Vice governor Xiao who betrayed her?

Trying to suppress her curiousness as well hesitation in her heart, Yao Yao coldly curved upward her mouth: “If I didn’t assume wrongly, then the coming of Yu Ao Tian to this Sky City could be such coincidental because you have calculated and predicted the time. Then you must be the person who let out the news Qi Xin Er stayed in sky City.”

Lan You’s pair of hand folded in front, while his body was leaning on the book shelf, still showing his smile and kept silent.

“You brought Yu Ao Tian to here, you did this because you want me to grow an expectation, then you made me mistaken Yu Ao Tian came to here after he got the news about me. But the fact Yu Ao Tian didn’t know so that he only saved Qi Xin Er and you let me to witness all of these in order to make me feel sad, miserable, am I right?” Every words that she said, all were questioned Lan You. Her pair of hand which has curled tight into fist trembling.

This man really know to well scheming people. Every schemes that he had, all calculated well without missed out. And the most despicable from him, he knew how to do it in low profile.

Normally people would directly ask and give punishment once the Nano SD Card found, But Lan You didn’t do it, despite of blaming her, he was planning, scheming all of these. He even made her hated Yu Ao Tian more, he even schemed her not to leave Sky City.
