That's it. She has seen that person's back so many times but only seen his face once and that was the time she dreamt of people chasing her to the end of a cliff while calling her a monster. His face was so vague that she forgot as soon as she woke up.

{He looks like Chen Kai...}

She thought to herself.

She has almost forgotten he even exists so why is she seeing him now. She has always had dreams but never abrupt flashes of images.

She clutched her chest tighter as her heart seems to be racing faster.

More started flashing right before her eyes.

A man in a mask, a peculiar one. Sitting in a lake with his head rested against the rocks and his chest see-through because of the white silk robe. He raised his hand to his face and slowly took off the mask...

"Han Chen-" she couldn't believe her eyes.

It feels like she is being sucked into another world in that instant.

"Yu Yan, what is wrong," she can hear that voice but she can't move. 

{What happens next is what is happening in the other world and she is also seeing it}

"Huo Lan, I am sorry," he whispered into her ear.

"For what?" she asked

He slowly unsheathed the spirit siphon sword by his waist then he brought the tip to her stomach.

A tear flowed down from his cheek.

"Even if everyone remembers you as a monster, I will forever remember you as the only woman I ever loved, an innocent and pure-hearted soul,"

"What are u say-" she gasped

{Yu Yan also gasped}

She slowly brought one of her hands to her belly then brought it behind him to see for herself.

"Blood," she pronounced with a tone of betrayal and disbelief in her voice.

She unwrapped her arm from his neck to come face to face with him. She watched tears trickle down his cheeks without saying anything then she placed her bloodied hand on his face.

"Did you really want me to die at Huo Yi Lang's hand?" she really needs to know that one thing.

He nodded his head in affirmation but it brought smiles to her lips as tears pooled in her eyes.

"Did you come because you missed me?"

He shook his head.

"I came to kill you and steal what belongs to you," he answered amidst his sobs.

She lowered her eyes to glance at the wound on her abdomen but he still hold the knife firmly to the stab.

Red Qi flowered out of her injury, into the knife. Then she realised what he meant, he came here to steal her power.

"Is it really that great, is being powerful that great. Huo Yi Lang also became like that because he wanted to be powerful?" she is speaking to him like they are having a normal open-hearted conversation while they are both on their knees and her power is being siphoned.

He shook his head.

Her grip on his face tightened.

"But you did love me right?"

He nodded positively.

"Huo Ying said you wouldn't want someone you love to feel pain. Bohai, it is really painful-"

She placed her hand on his hand holding the knife and her other hand on his chest, where his heart should be.

"It's fine, the pain will go away soon enough," he whispered soothingly.

She shook her head.

"I don't think so, I feel like I am going to explode...right now-"

She gasped with her head raised to the sky then she left out a pain-filled scream as a blaze of fire surrounded her body. His eyes widened, he tried to remove the knife and move away from her but she is gripping his hand too tight that he can't let go.

Tears welled down her cheeks.

"I should have trusted Huo Ying but I don't think it would have changed anything since I would be here anyway. I just wish I could see my guardian before I die, he promised to see me..."

He screamed in pain as the Qi from her palm seeps into his chest, it feels as though he is being burned by the fiercest of flames.

*****

"Yu Yan!" Jia Yu kept calling as they rushed her to the emergency ward, she collapsed at the beach all of a sudden and they are rushing her to the emergency ward on a stretcher.

"She was fine just a while ago, Yu Yan, please wake up!" she kept crying as they pulled her in and had her and Ji Chen wait outside.

*****

She started crying aloud as she watched him scream in pain, she didn't think she will be on the brink of death or even be hurting the one she loves the most at this moment. All she imagined is the man in a mask removing his mask in front of her.

"Huo Lan," she heard someone call in front of her.

"Guardian," she answered. The man in front of her but afar is even more pretty than Bohai is and he is without his mask this time, just like she imagined.

She let go of his hands, all she wanted was to leave him with a reminder but she fears he will lose his life now that her guardian is here. She looked away from the fourth prince and looked into his pained eyes.

"Run but don't ever forget me," 

He scrambled to his feet and started running without caring to look behind him to see who the guardian she was looking for his.

Right before his eyes, she smiled at him before slumping to the ground. He ran towards her as fast as he could then held her in his arms.

"Y-you are really the fourth prince," she muttered, she raised her hand to his face.

"I am glad I got to see you...for the last time," she smiled broadly like he imagined she would when he meets her. 

He can't believe it. He shouldn't have allowed himself to be delayed by the people the emperor sent to follow him then he would have arrived on time.

"No, no, no, Huo Lan-"

"Please don't cry, I want you to smile. Ever since you agreed to meet me, I imagined you smiling many times," she sniffed her nose to send back her tears.

If she had known that the fourth prince who saved her is her guardian then she wouldn't have let go of him during the test, she would have made him smile and stared at his pretty face for a long time but now it is too bad she can't even do that for long.

Her lips curved into the brightest of his smiles, tailored for her but it didn't take long for it to break when he noticed her eyes slowly closing.

"Thanks, for letting me see you before I die. Please tell my family I am sorry..." just like that, her arm slumped and her eyes completely closed.

"Huo Lan, No!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, He did not plan every one of his steps meticulously just for her to die like this.

He soon heard horse hooves, he looked ahead only to see some people wearing the flame sect uniform on the horse and they are riding at a very fast speed.

From afar, Huo Ying could see Huo Lan lying in the arms of a man, one whose face she can't see clearly, she whipped her horse to move faster. Her sister's body is not moving, which means something bad has happened to her.

He can't live with letting everything end like this.

She had already gotten close enough to see them clearly when they both disappeared, she quickly dismounted her horse and ran to where they were but they are nowhere to be found.

"Huo Lan- she was just here," Huo Ying said, she ran into the woods, unable to believe that her sister who might be lifeless has just disappeared with a strange person whose face she couldn't see clearly.

The rest followed after her, they also saw her before she disappeared. Huo Qiang stopped for a moment, realising someone needs to inform this sect of this issue. First, Huo Lan did something as despicable as blowing up the ancestral memorial room and now she has disappeared with a stranger who might have caused her harm.

"Huo Lian, return to the sect and inform the sect madam of the situation," he ordered.

"I want to stay here to-"

"Go now!" he yelled at her. She glanced at her sister who nodded at her to do as Huo Qiang said then she ran back to her horse and started riding at an incredibly fast speed.

*******

"Who is the patient's guardian?" the doctor who is in charge of Yu Yan asked 

Jia Yu and Ji Chen quickly rushed forward amidst other guardians waiting for their families.

"Is this gentleman her husband?" the doctor asked.

"No, I am her brother-in-law," he answered, hoping it would let the doctor divulge whatever he has to say to him in the absence of Han Chen.

"Where is her husband?"
