Tigress wanted to make sure Baihu wouldn't turn tables on her again, that's why she made him agree on a clear set of rules. She could ask him questions about three topics of her choosing and he would have to give her detailed answers. She was smart enough to inform him about the fact, that she would only expose the message from Oogway after she was done.

"What's the first thing you want to ask about?"

"Well I want to know why does the ruler of India want you dead."

"It's a long story."

"I have time."

Baihu took a deep breath and started talking.

"I was travelling through India, looking for secrets of yoga in small villages all across the country and then I stumbled upon the city of Patna. I was exploring the marketplace for supplies and just when I was about to leave I noticed three little snow leopard cubs. They were covering under a small makeshift roof, their arms and legs covered in dirt and filth. The moment I saw them, I felt their sadness and pain. I reached into my pocket and tossed them a handful of coins and immediately their eyes lit up as if this was the first time anyone ever showed them any sort of kindness. Just as I began to slowly walk away I heard someone screaming behind me, I turned and saw a bull hitting one of those cubs with a tree branch over the head while the other two cowered in fear as far away as possible. He was shouting something about them being Dalit and ruining his luck when he accidentally stepped into one of their shadows."

"Dalit?"

"There is a very strict caste system in India and being a Dalit means you are even lower than a beggar. I believe it's some sort of tradition there."

"So…what did you do?"

"Back then I was still a bit idealistic and a bit naïve. I wanted to be a hero so I caught his arm and ordered him to stop, that's when his elephant guards swarmed me from all sides. I tried to reason with them but they did not show any sort of understanding and attacked me. I don't want to get into details but in the end they were unconscious."

"That's why they are after you?"

"Not exactly… That bull guy I told you about attacked those three cubs again as if nothing happened and something in my head just snapped. I once again caught his arm, but this time I broke it on three different places, even his fingers, it was in such a bad state, that the bones were sticking out of his skin. He ran away screaming for help. But back then I didn't know that he was the son of the ruler."

So that's why the new ruler has only one arm…

"What did happen with those three snow leopards?"

"I took them with me, they were scared of me at first, but in the end they became my family, I even started teaching them kung fu." Baihu smiled a little.

Did this white tiger have a soft side to him?

"Those were three of the happiest years of my life."

"Only three? What happened?"

"I left for business trip and left them alone at home, but when I returned I found nothing but ashes. I don't know what happened to Su, Wing and Wan, but I never saw them again."

His face took on a sad expression and he stopped talking.

Those names seemed a little familiar and then it hit her.

"You trained the Wu Sisters?!" She asked shocked.

He grabbed her shoulder with his healthy arm.

"Wu Sisters? You know them? Are they alive?"

"Yes, but they are in prison…"

"Prison? How did they end up in there?"

Tigress spent next quarter an hour explaining who his daughters truly were. In the end Baihu was just laying on the bed sadness and guilt written all over his him.

"Where did I go wrong?"

"Master Baihu, It's not your…"

"Master Tigress could you please leave me alone for a while. I need to sort some things in my mind."

"Of course." She said and left the once happy and energetic tiger alone in his room.

To say she was feeling guilty for bringing that up would be an understatement.
