‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍The maid dipped his hands in the bucket of luke warm water and she wiped the man's forehand and hands even though they were clean. Her action wasn't to clean him but rather to keep him warm because he getting gradually colder.

Ever since he passed out , they had brought him here to the total clinic and tended to him. The sect masters have verified that he is not affected by any kind of energy. In fact he is actually just drained , almost like someone who hasn't eaten or slept in a long time. However given the current situation of the palace can't just dismiss this issue without further investigating it.

So they decided to just let him rest for a few hours and they will come back to check on him. Right now they have administered a stabilizing chemical via acupuncture to the vein on his foot. Only a single needle was used because the man's condition is not critical. On that note , they had a cultivator , two maids and a health workers tend to him.

Yongsun was forbbiden to enter the place but he couldn't let his curiosity rest and decided to act on the impulse to go and see man. Whether or not he is doing this because he is worried about the man is beyond imaginable.

Meiyang 's cousin , NiWan stood by the window and was just looking outside. He is a bit of the rude version of Meiyang. He always makes condescending remarks and never ever thinks that anyone is competent or reliable. Even in his opinion, he had condemned Suyen as volatile, Liuhe is sentimental and moody while Meiyang is an absent-minded frog. Some may even think that he is upstuck and wants to please only himself but that is not the case as he is far from materialistic. Howbeit he is also not magnanimous to the least. If W was mixed with a strong lunatic and pedantic fool, the result would be this cultivator

Obviously because of the way he always had bad things to say , he seldom e engages in conversation not because he wants to protect the feeling's of the audience but because he says that he doesn't engage in idle chatter with commoners who is apparently everyone. Literally no a single individual in his eyes qualifies to be even his idol or someone he looks up to.

Even the way he is standing right now shows that he feels like his time and energy is being wasted. In his thoughts, he thinks he should be the one send to investigate and follow on whatever trail Meiyang and Dejang have found. He isn't saying that he has an idea what is going on he just thinks he is more focused on the objective than Meiyang who is like a five year old it Dejang who flirts with everything with a pretty face.

He crossed his arms and thought about all the activities of today . Trying his best to link everything together. Even if he reaches the best conclusion, he will never say it and no matter how great of an idea he has , he will never share it .

Also another reason why he doesn't want to turn his head is because he doesn't want to have a conversation with anyone in the room .

He knows he will lose his cool when they start to get too nosy and that's when feelings will start to get hurt. Liuhe literally once said even though Dejang is scary, is the worst. Dejang might smile and say cute things but he always had nasty words to share. And it is for this reason that Liuhe is not on good terms with him and he couldn't care less.

"Your highness, would you like something to drink ?", The other maid questioned Yongsun as she was out of ideas on how to make him leave. If they keep him here and the king finds out, apparently they are going to be guilty for not forcing the royal heir out of a room constructed on land belonging to his father.

Yongsun nodded to her but then he looked to NiWan then he claimed that he will only eat if the cultivator will share a meal with him.

NiWan apologized and explained that he is not in the right condition to dine . What Yongsun heard was that he doesn't eat on duty and the same goes of the maids but he actually meat was that he would rather die than waste a moment of his time eating. NiWan knows that Yongsun will question him and it will also make him feel like he is incompetent if he eats on duty or slacks off

Just then another maid knocked and she called for both the people on the room.

The cultivator thought it was Zhang so he left while Yongsun knew it was probably his father so they both left. Yongsun said to have him informed immediately when something changes while maid in the room was told to make sure that the man is fine and she should watch the needle so that when it's cylinder runs out thy should have a professional tend to Shejin as per Zhang's orders.

Everyone knodded and they departed.

‍‍‍He sat upright and he looked around the room. His girlfriend was sleeping next to him. They must have carried him here but then again it seems like he walked here with how much his legs are sore.

He pulled the blanket over her shoulder and he turned back to grab some water but the nightstand. Despite how thoughtful it was, it was really useless because the water was very warm and bland like hot water that had gone cold.

He ran his hands on his face and looked around the place. It was shabby but still above standard than his peers.

He got up and he walked towards the mirror.

"Still?", He queried. His reflection was absent.

He moved two times toward the mirror but it still won't show. It almost like he wasn't even there. Everything was visible behind him , even his girlfriend breathing was clearly visible but he wouldn't show.Maybe it's true that one really can't see their reflection in a dream. By what does everything else seems so real.

He put on his shoes and he headed out the door.

Shejin's grandfather used to fall sick a lot especially just before his passing. So for this reason Shejin's body became programmed to wake up a few times during the night to see who he is doing . After that then he would be able to sleep after checking on him. Therefore for the past two years , he had been doing this , where he would walk around the palace to get himself to fall sleepy again .

Today was no exception.

He is not going to lie, he really thought when he woke up, a huge crowd would be surrounding him but he forgot that he is a mere worker. And they dismissed his condition like it was dehydration so he would be here. He also thought that since he left with Yongsun he would also be here worried about him, but he remembers that from the novel, Yongsun was made to selfish. He just didn't know how selfish he was .

And seeing how he wasn't worried about him enough to seek out and see him , maybe he shouldn't even go to that wings where Yongsun sleeps.He heard towards the main entry.

For any intuition, members or workers shouldn't be seen roaming around at night so if Shejin is caught doing this , he will end up in trouble which is the opposite of what he would want.

Following the novel's plotline, currently the palace is being patrolled by magic creatures and so some cultivators can be found around he. He doesn't really remember their location but he knows that around two were said to be spread all over the place so he just had to avoid open areas as that is where they would be a cultivation space is primary. It helps to spread and focus the energy better.

He walked towards the place but before he could move further he saw three hawks flying overhead. He hid behind the pillar and just then another bird emerged from behind. Because of the suddenness of the creature , he accidentally shrieked and paced backwards as it flew towards him.

Out of no-where , a hand clasped and pulled him to then proceeded to pull him to an embrace before covering his mouth. The creature flew by and Shejin watched it disappear into thin air.

He slowly raised his hands to the one on his face but suddenly the hand pressed further as two more hawks appeared and scouted the area. His mysterious stranger pulled him to lower ground until they were kneeling.

Without waiting for permission, they let Shejin turn around. Before he could process what was happy, he was signaled to keep quiet and he was then pulled away from W1 and back towards the residential side between two offices. Shejin was let to rest on the wall and his saviour on the other.

They exhaled deeply and they chuckled before looking to Shejin was struggling to see clearly. The identityless person was a male guard.

" Yah, Eogeum-Shi. Why are you patrolling at night?", He questioned him through several times .

" I took a walk because I couldn't sleep ", he answered without the slightest hint of fatigue. Also isn't it strange he that he doesn't recall running out of breath. Even when he makes love to his girlfriend, he fakes the hyperventilation so that she is deceived.

"Whatever, you can't do that today. Go back to bed", he commanded him before smiling

Subtract Yongsun's selfishness, Dejang's scariness, Iseul's introverted and multiply Meiyan' discipline the equation produces this young fella. Standing at six feet, and blessed with pale brown hair and straight eyebrows plus a gentle hunchback along with crystal like eyes summed with very humid and glossy skin produces Lee Biyamin.

Oftentimes he is Shejin's bias-wrecker. In his absence he is convinced that Yongsun is handsome but the minute he sees Biyamin ,all his standards come crashing down and Biyamin wins the space. maybe he calls him stunning due to that he also like Yamin's internal beauty that is surpassed by no other.

Others describe Biyamin as the boring good guy that girls treat as a therapist when their boyfriend mistreat them but Shejin only sees an emperor's incarnate. And in the face of someone like that Shejin can't help smiling at him

" Stop staring at me . Go back to bed", he smirked at him but Shejin just glowed even more . With his hair completely down, as he gawks at him through the dark night, he replicates a silhouette of perfection

To be honest Yamin does know that Shejin acts differently in his presence but he also knows that Shejin has a girlfriend. Therefore he is a bit confused .Yamin moved from where he stood and he held Shejin's forehead before telling him that he has a fever. He then manipulated his hand to touch Shejin's cheek before lowering it all the way his shoulder.

" Let's go back", he went forward but Shejin just remained.When he looked back and saw him frozen ,he went and he grabbed his forearm before they both swiftly returned.

Ten minutes later he bid him farewell as Shejin walked inside his house.

' is it strange that I feel like I should have done something before letting him leave', Biyamin thought to himself as he walked away
