. And the meeting continues...

"Really?!.". xueCheng asked... But the procedure wasn't done yet... Anying... He looked at Anying with gratefulness before standing up... Intending to go meet xiajie. But a glare from Hanze told him otherwise.

"Sit.". Hanze ordered making the youth have a bad feeling. Hanze wasn't done yet. "From now on, you wouldn't be living with xiajie anymore. Nor would you be seeing him, till i'm satisfied". He added.

xueCheng's expression turned to that of despair immediately he heard those words.. "No!.". He screamed.

Hanze glared at him in return. This made him keep quiet but the tears kept falling from his eyes like a broken dam.

' who would take care of injured xiajie?! '. xueCheng poundered worriedly.

But did Hanze care?. He called the next person receiving punishment..... Like a bloodied emperor he didn't care.

"Ru lan.".

Anying looked at him in disbelief. And so did Ru lan. He frowned. xueCheng couldn't care less. He ran into one of the nearest rooms. He needed extreme privacy right now.

Hanze pretending like he didn't witness that. "You're up next. And this shall be your punishment.". He said, and when he got that what the heck look from lan, he continued. "I'll seal you for... No, till my heart's content.".

Anying resisted the urge to spit blood. Who couldn't recognize forever damnit?!.

Really?!.

"You can't do that.". Ru lan said, frowning very much.

Well, he only came here because he wanted to see Anying, and maybe have a word and see for himself that the former was fine. He was worried.

And he knew how to locate the youth by following his aide to that creepy kingdom named daiklor . Fine. He had long severed his relationship with Hanze because of one sided love rivalry.

And but when he saw the man again he offered basic respect for safety sake. So why the punishment?. Was it a crime to crush on someone or fall in love one sidedly?. And was it enough... Was his emotions enough to seal him for?.

No!. And Hanze even had the guts to say ' till my heart's content ' ?. How shameless could a guy get?.

"Oh?. I can't?.". Hanze raised a brow, deciding to spare him a chilling look that sent shivers down one's spine. "Ok then. Watch me. As I do.". He added, and before anyone knew what, Ru lan disapeared to a place...

Anying hoped was comfortable at least...

After doing that, Hanze faced his next target. And without even saying anything, he stretched his hand towards yuehua who was quietly sitting with a slightly pale expression.

After all he'd be heartless if non of everything tht just happened didn't affect him a bit. He wasn't like a certain someone.

Yuehua suddenly felt pain, and all he could do was clench his teeth clutch his chest and bask in the pain Hanze was bathing him with...

All but one had nothing's to do about it. Jimeng appeared besides yuehua right away. And with puffy eyes screamed at the top of his lungs. "Y-you!. Let him go!. Stop it!.".

Hanze raised a brow in disbelief as he turned to look at yuehua. And with a disappointed click of his tongue, he commented. "Ha... See, whatever you call yourself... He's so in love with you he dares to interupt me not minding the consequences...". A pause, as he stared at yuehua's pained face turn to that of suprise.

"W-what... What... Are you ah... Talking ab-about!.". He felt as if his head was being pulled and ... Something bad was going to happen.

Hanze gladly continued. "And instead of reciprocating his love you... Decided to chase what's mine hm?.". He asked, suprising even jimeng but he didn't care.

"That doesn't give you enough reason to bring him pain!.". Jimeng said, staring at the sorcerer as if he was the devil's incarnate.

Hanze sighed... "ah, such strong love wasted on a moron... What a pity".. he said, exerting more strength to his spell.

"What are you doing?.". Anying and yanlye chorused. They stared at each other in brief suprise before focusing on Hanze.

"Hm?. Nothing much but , jimeng...". He turned to the youth.

Nothing much?!. Both people snickered. Someone writhing in pain wasn't experience something much?!.

"You see... No matter how much you love him, he would never love you back. So no need to cry like this for him... Ask him.". He said, comforting someone with an emotionless voice.

Jimeng was stunned... He thought yuehua was only being stubborn to fall for him... An he didn't even pick up on anything suspicious... Disbelief marred his face as he turned to yuehua.

"I-is... Is that true?". he asked hopefully.

"Ji....meng.... I-i am sorry but--". Yuehua began despite feeling pain...

But jimeng didn't want to hear it. Moreover, "that doesn't still give you a reason to bring him pain!.". He said again at Hanze.
