Hao Ren spent the night sitting on the bed with his eyes locked to the void where Hao Mei was standing earlier. He was lost, because he never thought that his family would have tricked him like this. The young man looked as if a mannequin had been placed in his spot. On the other hand, Han Lingshi was laying on the bed, and her eyelids were twitching. If her husband has been himself, he would have checked on her, but tonight they were both going through the biggest change of their lives. Han Lingshi was dwelling in a dream where she was standing before herself. However, the difference between the two figures was shocking. Even if Han Lingshi was a person who could make the most beautiful women on the planet feel mediocre, but her own reflection before her was ten times superior to her. The other Han Lingshi stood dressed in a moonlight blue robe which gave an impression of flowing water. Her hair was tied in a bun with a white and silver hair pin holding it in place. The reflections was only as pretty as Han Lingshi, but her temperament was something that the present Han Lingshi could not match with. The reflection smiled and asked, "Are you wondering who I am?" Han Lingshi was surprised but then nodded, and the reflection replied, "I am your own self that resides deep within your heart. The one who wishes to be the empress of it all. The one who wants to grow strong to the level where even the heavens is under my control." Han Lingshi raised her eyebrow and said, "That sounds very arrogant of myself." The reflection chuckled and said, "Well, if it is any relief, it is you who thinks like that." Han Lingshi smiled and said, "Yes, I do think like that and sometimes but I am wise enough to know when to stop and to advance. Arrogance is the reason why many fall." The reflection nodded and said, "Some people are blessed with the capital to really be arrogant and remain untouched. You are among those people, however..." Han Lingshi asked, "However?" The reflection replied, "However, you are bound by a dead weight." Han Lingshi frowned and the reflection waved her hand in the void. Between the two another image appeared, Han Lingshi raised her brow and asked, "What is the meaning of this?" The reflection smiled as she replied, "This is your dead weight." Rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains and Han Lingshi slowly opened her eyes. She sensed a shallow almost unrecognizable warm current flowing through her body. The lady took a deep breath and touched her forehead before looking around. She found that Hao Ren was sitting on the edge of the bed, but she noticed his shoulders were slouched. She called for him softly, "Ren." A few moments past, she frowned and sat up from the bed as she said, "Ren, can you hear me?" Hao Ren did not react, but then Han Lingshi noticed that the young man was trembling. Han Lingshi was surprised, she got out of the blanket and walked around the bed to come before him. When she saw Hao Ren, she was shocked, his face was pale, his cheeks were stained with tear trails. She asked, "Ren, what happened?" Hao Ren did not reply to her, he was staring at the void lost in his own thoughts. Han Lingshi reached out to touch his forehead and gasped. Hao Ren had high fever, and was trembling. She could not understand what was going on and shook him up as she called out his name, "Hao Ren!" The call was more like a shout that caused the stoned eyes to glisten again. Hao Ren saw Han Lingshi and smiled as he said, "Good that you are fine. I was afraid.." Before he could say anything a thread of red trickled down the corner of his lips. Han Lingshi was shocked, she held his shoulders and asked, "Ren, are you okay? What is going on with you? I will take you to the hospital." .net Hao Ren shook his head and said, "I will be fine with a little rest. It's just that I sensed spiritual energy and then it all went haywire because I got excited." Han Lingshi frowned, as she sensed something was odd about it. She asked in a stern tone, "Ren, you dislike if I hide things from you right? Then why are you hiding things from me?" Hao Ren looked at her for a few minutes before tears trickled down his eyes and he began to bawl as he weakly held her hands. Han Lingshi was left speechless, she could not help but embrace him in her bosom as if Han Ren was a peace of fragile glasswork that could fall apart with the gentlest of touch. Han Lingshi was about to ask him when the young man said, "They all fooled me Lingshi, they all fooled me. They hid things from me, and Hao Mei also fooled me into thinking that she is dead. You know I used to sleep on her grave, clean it as if it was herself. Yet, they never told me." He buried his heart in her chest as he cried out, and Han Lingshi's face turned cold, as she realized that the young man had discovered the truth. She was afraid that Hao Ren would be devastated when he finds out. She did not expect her fears to come true so quickly. She patted his back gently and said, "Ren, I am here for you, am I not?" Hao Ren did not answer and kept crying, the couple was going to face tests of life. These tests won't be easy, but if they passed, they will become stronger, if they failed, then life can be very unforgiving to the weak.
