Nanny lee enters and saw his master kneeling in front of the old master's memorial burning incense stick. She sighs in grief. She feels that his master is very unlucky. Old Madam is less concerned about his well-being, Old Master is dead. Young Master has spent his life exiled and hasn't experienced anything a young man will in his age. Young Master has poor health and is weak. Nanny lee is afraid that the first and second masters will take chance to attack him. If the old master was alive he will fend them off. Nanny lee was teary-eyed thinking about the master's future.

she gathered herself and said, "Master have some food".

" Hmm, put it on the table in the side hall. I will have it in a while" Kai replied looking preoccupied with thoughts.

" Young master please do eat it. " Nanny lee said in earnest. She bowed and start to walk away.

"Nanny lee, why do you think father send me away. Is it really to protect me or to protect them." Kai asked looking straight at her with his sharp clear eyes.

" That I don't know master. I would never dare to know what senior master was thinking" Nanny lee replied.

she thought that the young master must be broken-hearted to talk nonsensically. She sighs and walks away after plating the food in the side hall.

After she left Yeshi quickly arrives at the memorial hall and bowed to Kai.

"Master, " He said.

" What is it? " Kai looks up at him with his dark sharp eyes. if looks could kill Yeshi would have been dead by now.

" Khal and Kali are planning a banquet this coming full moon in the name of the old master. " Yeshi told what he had learned.

Kai scoffs thinking about his two brothers that are so eager to make connections in the name of their father but how ironic it is that they have never placed a foot in the memorial hall yet. It was laughable, Kai smirked but nothing about his smile was warm. It was as cold as bone-chilling winter.

Just then Ashi enters with a message.

" Master, First and Second master sends a servant to inform you that master has to attend the banquet. " Ashi and Yeshi are brothers Kai saved when he was exiled away. They fended for each other and train with each other to become stronger.

Kai thought that it was hilarious that they send an invite considering that they would rather hide me away in shame as I am a "weakling". Are they eager to deal with me that they can not wait any longer?

"Go see what they are planning these days," Kai commands Ashi thoughtfully.

"yes, master " Ashi left as quickly as he entered. Ashi was a hidden guard. His specialty was swiftness. His contracted beast was known for its agility and stillness.

The huge door opens wider and Dre enters and walks towards Kai like it owns the place. He reached and plopped at Kai's foot. it licks its paws and roared in hunger. Kai caresses its head and looks towards Ye shi.

"Go hunt some meat for Dre. We need to feed him so that he can regain its original form. "

"yes, I will do it right away." Yeshi swiftly goes away to complete the task.

Dre feeling bolder as his master was accepting his touch he tried to smugly snuggle at his master. Only to fly away from the window.

Master don't you feel any pity for this cute little fluffy white pillow. buhuhu...

Kai then regain his earlier position and began to burn incense stick as nothing happened.
