Chapter 5: X:

Ma Wencai's POV:

My servants and I were talking about the play, but then I realized something... "Why do my legs feel weird? There's something funny going on?

. . .

I then had Qin Liuxian draw an 'X' on Zhu Jo's door. That way, I'll know for sure!

Zhu Yingtai's POV:

Yenzing and I saw what Qin Liuxian was up to, so we decided to mess with him. We erased the 'X' and made a new one on Abbess Cihui's door.

Singer: Obviously, you made me see
Can't take this life for nothing
Let me be
All alone, I left my throne
If I don't try another way
Then I'll never know

So, I don't care anymore
(Chorus: What you say, no way)
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: Oh, you do need me)
There's a drawer in a room in our house that's calling your name
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: What you say, no way)
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: Oh, you do need me)
There's a drawer in a room in our house that's calling your name
It's calling your name

Used to think you were true
But I was washed up, confused
Grasping, gasping, no room for hope
Nowadays, path seems clear
But no, I won't turn around and celebrate
You always seem here

So, I don't care anymore
(Chorus: What you say, no way)
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: Oh, you do need me)
There's a drawer in a room in our house that's calling your name
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: What you say, no way)
I don't care anymore
(Chorus: Oh, you do need me)
There's a drawer in a room in our house that's calling your name
That's calling your name
Calling your name
Calling your name
Calling your name
I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore
There's a drawer in a room in our house that's calling your name
That's calling your name!

Ma Wencai's POV:

That idiot, he made the 'X' too big! Anyone can see it now! Oh well. I then entered and there was a scream... turns out, I was in Qin Liuxian's room!

. . .

As punishment, my servants and I have to stand there, carrying stacks of books on our heads. The worst part is, I stupidly drank so much water before the punishment! Meanwhile, Zhu Jo and Lian Shanbo were having fun together. This is far from over!

. . .

As I was walking, I overheard a conversation.

"Well done, my apprentice, you are getting better every day!"

"Thank you, Nari."

"Now, Jade Rakshasa, we just need a time to really test your abilities."

I then saw what they were doing. They were witches! Could be useful someday.
