Upon reaching the broken bridge on the very outside of the village, Enlai stopped dead in his tracks and began to look at the road leading alongside the mountains they had just arived from, still holding the back of Fei Yen's shirt collar, he forced her to stop with him, "Well..." he said starting off catching the attention of Po and the others, "... I suppose this is where we part." the binturong finished with a smile, as he then gave a bow forward, unable to give the respective kung fu bow in order to keep a tight hold on his prisoner, "I cannot thank you all enough." Tigress was the first to bow back at him, followed by Po and Monkey, then the others, "Especially you Po, I still haven't paid you back for aiding me when I was unconcious." Po laughed lightly at the comment, and began to wave a giant paw at him, "You don't have to pay me back." Po told him still smiling, Enlai smirked at his humility. "Oh but I do, unfortunately I have to transport this abhorent woman back to be given her punishment first-" "And you can't do that alone either!" came a voice at the other end of the destroyed bridge, they all looked over to see Master Shifu on the other side staring at them, his arms behind his back, the ever constant gaze he gave spread across his face. Shifu jumped up high into the air before he landed on the same side of the bridge they were all on, landing with a small thud before standing up straight, "Master Shifu?" Enlai said in a questioning tone, looking a little confused as to what the small master of kung fu ment by what he had said on the other side of the river, "I think in order to avoid your prisoner escaping you again, perhaps you should take the Five, and the Dragon Warrior with you just to be safe." He told the raven colored young man smiling lightly at him, Enlai still was confused, "Five?- Wait, Dragon Warrior? that's who they are?" he started yelling the questions in disbeliefe he had been aided by the legends themselfs and was too oblivious to realize it, Fei Yen started to laugh to the point she was covering up her face with her bound paws, "The Dragon Warrior? Him?" she almost fell over from laughter at what she was hearing, but was kept up by an unamused looking Enlai, most likely sore at the fact she would laugh at such a thing.
Enlai shook his head at both his impolite captive, and the offer from Shifu, "Master Shifu, you've already given me more than I can repay, I couldn't possably-" "Unfortunately you will, I owed your father a great debt, I foolishly challenged him to a game of Mahjong, and lost a great deal of which I never fully paid back, but being the kind and caring man he was, he never mentioned it when we crossed paths." Shifu told the young binturong who then started to show his light brown eyes shining with tears before wiping them away and nodding, "He was a very understanding man, never judged anyone, he always said it wasn't his place to." Enlai began to laugh a bit at the memory of how accepting his father was of other peoples ways or problems. Shifu began to stare at the female tiger Enlai had a tight grip on with a serious face, "So, this is the one who killed Tao?" he asked them all, recieving nods and answers consisting of "Yes" or "Yes Master", "I didn't kill him!" Fei Yen yelled again the same innocent look on her face, Enlai stared at her with blazing eyes, his fist wrapped tightly around his spear, Shifu put a paw up to stop the binturong from saying anything to her "Young man, calm down, she'll get her sentence if she's guilty." "But she is guilty... Look!" Enlai told the master as he reached into his bag and pulled out the scroll she had stollen, handing it over to Shifu. He pulled the scroll out of its casing and opened it, reading a bit of it before grunting and shaking his head in disappointment, "Young man, did you ever read the scroll Fong Hei had displayed?" he asked lowering the item, Enlai began to look at him with yet another expression of confusion, "Y- yes, I read it all the time in the Emerald Temple, I'd always read it when I went into the library, I was captivated by it." he answered trying to figure out what the master was trying to tell him, "Did you ever notice the errors Lei Huan made in his spelling?" "Yes, he was on his death bed when he wrote each part of the chronicle, he was bound to make mistakes and clearly didn't want to waste time correcting them, they said he died just minutes after the completion of the last scroll." Enlai told him, showing he knew about the entire series that the chronicler had written and that he knew about the history of it, Shifu handed the scroll back to him never changing his expression, "Look closely." Shifu commanded him to do so, Enlai followed the order, and overlooked it carefully, his eyes widened with realization as he closed the scroll up, "No errors..." he whispered to himself but the others still heard his words and they all began small light ghasps, Enlai became enraged at Fei Yen, his eyes burning like fire from a forge.
"What did you do with the real scroll?" he screamed the question at the grey tiger, who still gave her innocent looking gaze as she answered, "I don't have it, I never had it!" Enlai clinched his fist and raised it as he grabbed the front of Fei Yen's shirt ready to hit her, only to let it fall again, his respect towards the female gender overpowering his anger, Shifu waited for him to calm down as the others watched on in anxiety over how furious the binturong looked, "Young man, two things." Shifu started as Enlai fell to his knees feeling like he was on the biggest wild goose chase that ever was made, "One, you should not accuse one of something so quikly, and two." he paused as he walked over to the sorrowfull raven colored being lifting his chin up with one claw, "You have just showed you have more of your father in you than you could ever imagine." he finished off reffering to the control Enlai had shown by not hitting the defenceless girl. "Mister Enlai, might I ask how long ago it was that the scroll was stollen?" Viper asked going a bit off topic about the thing, but seeking to know more about what had happened, Enlai looked over to her as Shifu let go of his chin, the binturong wiping away more tears trying to stream their way down his face, "The... night of the Summer Festival was when it happened." he answered her as he began to get up, making sure his prisoner didn't move, "During which time Fei Yen was reported to have been seen in the area." "I wasn't anywhere near the Emerald Tample, I was at my hideout near the Abysmal Cliff- oh crap!" Fei Yen yelled realizing she had just gevin away the location of her hideout without catching herself early enough to stop, "Then why did Master Meng Li tell Master Fong Hei you did this?" Enlai tried to pry the answer from her without actually doing anything to her, "Maybe HE did it, I don't know!" she tried again to explain to them, her supposed innocence still showing in her eyes, "How dare you, Master Meng Li was a close friend of my father, and would never betray his own people!" "Enough!" Shifu yelled out trying to get everyong to calm down. Enlai wasn't having it though, and began to argue with the master, "Master Shifu, how could you even state this woman may be innocent of the crimes convicted against-" he was cut off by the small master grabbing his finger of which was pointed at him, and sticking his pinky up, Enlai imediately knew what was going on as the others stood still hoping the binturong wouldn't do anything foolish while in the devistating Wuxi Finger Hold, his eyes were filled with fear at what he had been put into, as the captive tiger braced for what was to follow if Shifu flexed his claw, "Shutting up." Enlai said quikly hoping Master Shifu would let him go, Shifu smiled at him knowing he had successfully gotten the binturongs full attention after that.
Enlai had recovered from his near brush with a messy demise at the hands of Master Shifu, and sat down in front of him ready to listen to any words he had to offer, while the others waited to see if their master still wanted them to travel to the Emerald Temple with the binturong to ensure the prisoner was delivered. Shifu paced infront of them all slowly so that he may speak to each and every one of them, "Take the girl back to Master Fong Hei, make sure nothing happens to her, and try not to lose your temper again, take an example from your father if you truelly want to keep his memory alive." he told Enlai as he continued to pace before turning to his own students, "Make sure nothing happens to either of them, I myself and Enlai are counting on you to see that Tao's death is avenged, but if this girl is not the one who did it, find the one who truelly is responsable." he finished off as they all bowed at him and simultaniously said "Yes Master." and with that, they all set out towards the Emerald Temple, with Monkey leading the way after passing Enlai who was gathering up his equipment quikly, "And Enlai." Master Shifu called out to him before he started to follow the others, the binturongs ears perked up a bit, "Study that scroll a bit more... it may lead to some answers." he told him as he jumped back across the broken bridge, Enlai stood up, and pushed Fei Yen on the back to get her moving, following Shifu's students, hoping that soon all the questions floating in his head would be answered.
