Yingyue. A Promise Made

Arriving in front of the caves, the four wanted to enter together, but then they stopped instantly.

"Wait...!" Bao Fang shouted, stopping everyone from trying to enter.

"What happened master?" Xian Chen asked, turning around worriedly. It seemed that something was wrong.

"Yu Bin, you told me five years ago that Yingyue reset... that she doesn't look like before she looks like a boy now. If that's the case then it's possible that once Yingyue resets she won't recognize either of us. However, she will always recognize her master. That's why I think Yu Bin should go alone. That way we'll avoid a pointless fight."

"Master, if Yingyue has reset herself, isn't there an option for her to attack Yu Bin? I mean, last time when Yu Bin came in here, she was seriously injured." Xian Chen said worriedly remembering the events that happened back then.

"Don't worry, a soul sword never forgets its master no matter how many times it resets. Even when Ming Fang tried to keep it under control the moment Yu Bin called out it came out from under her control."

"That's because Yu Bin remembered her, but now there's a possibility that none of them can remember..."

"Ah, yes it is a possibility..." Bao Fang replied grinning, annoying Xian Chen who was ready to jump on her neck.

"Master! Are you kidding me!" He shouted angrily but Bao Fang ignored him and turned to Yu Bin who was looking at him in amazement.

"Ah, it's time to go in, whatever it is, make sure you stay alive, ok?"

"Ok..." Yu Bin said uncertainty and started to enter but was stopped by Bao Fang.

"Yu Bin, i will just tell you once so pay attention. There in the cave, you will be the only one entering, we will wait outside no matter what, there is a gas that will make you have illusions, don't believe anything from what you see. It is also possible to see events from the past, remember that you are living in the present and all those things have already happened. However, it is possible that some events are not true but only a creation of your fears. Stay grounded no matter what."

"Why do I have to go alone if it's so dangerous?" Yu Bin asked fearfully. It wasn't like she was a very fearful person, but still thinking that she would enter a place where death might await her, she turned to face Bao Fang and said, "Are you sure you don't want to kill me?

"You will never change, no matter how many centuries go or how many times you lose your memory" Bao Fang replied smiling. In the past, Yu Bin used to accuse her of wanting to kill her every time she made her do something dangerous.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die, but make sure you come back to us. We'll all be waiting for you here." She added, smiling and Yu Bin went to the cave in search of Yingyue.

Once inside the cave, Yu Bin felt a cold air pass through her and she shivered. The more she walked, the colder the air became. She felt her blood freeze in her veins and she couldn't do anything. Arriving in the centre of the cave, she felt that she had no more strength and sat down. *Ah, so cold, was it so cold last time too? Will I die here? No way, I need to find Yingyue, if I am cold she might freeze to death..*

"Yingyue…." Yu Bin murmured with her frozen lips and closed her eyes.

"Don't fall asleep here master" Yu Bin heard a tender voice and tried to open her eyes but she couldn't. It was so hard to open her eyes and she couldn't utter a single word.

*Who is it? Ah, am I dreaming? So tender, so peacefully, is this Yingyue*

"My dear master, i'm so glad you are alive , now you should go out my lovely master"

*Yingyue…*

"Master… let's meet again soon master… i miss you"

*Yingyue…*

"I will make sure to protect you this time master"

*Yingyue…*

No matter how much she wanted to open her eyes and hold the hand of the one who was talking and go out together, she couldn't do anything. Little by little, she lost consciousness, but before she did, she felt a warm hand touch her cheek.

*Yingyue, let's meet again soon…*

"Master, let's meet again soon"

The two said at once and Yu Bin fainted and Yingyue disappeared after covering her with his coat.

After some time Yu Bin opened her eyes and looked around *Was it a dream?* she thought but when she tried to get up she saw the coat

*Yingyue* she mumbled and taking the coat on her shoulders she got out .

It wouldn't be a problem to say that those outside were already dying of worry. The day was almost over and Yu Bin showed no signs of going out.

"I am back…" Yu Bin said and the four caught her just before she fell.

"Yu Bin! Are you ok ?" the four talk in unison

"I am ok… don't worry, i just…"

"Where is Yingyue?" Xian Chen asked, looking towards the cave entrance but no one was coming.

"He is not there…" Yu Bin answered remembering what happened there. Somehow she heard him, somehow he helped her but he is not there anymore.

"Where did this coat come from then?" Moon asked, looking at her coat.

When she entered she didn't have any coat on her but now she has.

"Yingyue was here, but is not anymore"

"Where is he then?" Longwei asked, confused, he hadn't seen anyone coming out and if he came out from another side, he would still have felt their presence immediately. However, he did not feel his presence at all.

"Did you talk with him? What did he say?" Bao Fang asked, if he was there he might have said something important.

"He said that we will meet soon. At least that's what I think he said, " Yu Bin said looking at them.

Somehow she felt confused, somehow she seems that she doesn't remember what he said but she feels that he said that he will meet her soon.

"What happened there?" Bao Fang asked and it was looking like everyone wanted to ask the same question.

"Nothing much, i almost died of freezing, when i almost fainted Yingyue came and said something then it seems he left his coat here. "

"But i am really wondering how did he left, i didn't felt his presence at all"

" I wonder…" Yu Bin said, confused. If he hadn't left his coat there, she would have thought it was just a dream.
