"Let's go from here.", Mu Yang says and holds Xin Ye's hand.

Mu Yang and Xin Ye come inside the car. Xin Ye is still afraid by remembering about the fight. Anything could have happened at that time. But Mu Yang protected her.

"Thanks for saving me.", Xin Ye says and there is a relief in her voice.

Mu Yang nods his head. He looks at Xin Ye's finger from where the blood is dripping. He holds her hand and due to the sudden action Xin Ye gets surprise.

"You are hurt.", Mu Yang says.

"It's okay. It's just a normal cut.", Xin Ye says.

Mu Yang looks around. He puts his hands inside the pocket and then takes out a handkerchief. He looks at it and then he wraps it around Xin Ye's finger.

"Ouch... Leave it...", Xin Ye says.

"Shut up.", Mu Yang says seriously.

Xin Ye closes her lips and looks at Mu Yang. After wrapping the handkerchief in her finger, Mu Yang leaves her hand.

"Apply medicine when you will reach home.", Mu Yang says.

"Hmm. Thanks!", Xin Ye says and she smiles.

Mu Yang looks at her smile. Then he diverts his gaze and looks outside the window.

Xin Ye starts the car. She drives it and then leaves Mu Yang outside his apartment. Xin Ye then goes to her apartment.

InXin Ye's Apartment

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

It's noon time. Xin Ye cooks food for herself. She cooked chicken noodles soup. She comes into the balcony and puts the bowl on a table.

Xin Ye sits on a couch and then she eats her food. She takes another bite but then someone rings the doorbell.

Xin Ye gets up and covers her food. She comes to the door and opens it. Li Hua is standing there. She hugs Xin Ye tightly.

"I have something to tell you.", Li Hua says excitedly.

"Wh...what?", Xin Ye asks.

"My grandp has told me something very interesting. He believes that Chronofang is still here but we need to find it. He also talked about it's power.", Li Hua says.

Xin Ye brings her friend in the balcony. She makes her sit.

"It's very good that he knows. But first eat something!", Xin Ye says.

"No... I have had lunch with Chen! I can't eat anything right now.", Li Hua says.

Xin Ye nods her head. She grabs her bowl and looks interestingly at her best friend.

"What did your grandfather tell you?", Xin Ye asks.

"Yesterday I went to my grandfather's house. He was very sick. He couldn't even stand up from his bed. I asked about his health and sat with him. Then my grandfather asked me what work I did. I told him a little about Chao Xiang's sculpture. He looked at me in shock, as if I had chosen his favorite topic. After that we both talked for a long time. My grandfather gave me a book which he said is very old.", Li Hua says and takes a deep breath.

"About what the book was?", Xin Ye asks.

"It was about Chao Xiang's Chronofang and his fifty percent treasury which still exists. My grandfather told me that there is no sign of the lost Kingdom but there is a secret place where we can find Chao Xiang's Chronofang and his treasury.", Li Hua asks.

Xin Ye's mouth drops open and she stares at her friend with wide eyes.

"But how does he know? Didn't he try to find the Chronofang?" Xin Ye asks.

"Yes... He tries to find it by a map which is in the book. It was not a common book but it was very old!", Li Hua says.

"Where is the book?", Xin Ye asks.

"His friend stole the book and ran away. My grandpa doesn't know where the book is? But he do believe in everything in which we are researching. He told me about a place and it's in south. ", Li Hua says and she makes a pout.

"South!", Xin Ye says shockingly. She is confused too because it can be any place.

"His friend's name was Nicol Dao and he was from Taiwan.", Li Hua says.
