What is this place?

She turns around to look for the source of the voice, a figure stands not too far away from her. When see meet his eyes, her eyes wide in shock. 'How could be he is here?' the figure is none other than the man she meets a while ago. In the spring pavilion.

He stood there, still wearing the same clothes with a calm but mysterious expression on his face. Her heart is bear fast. She was turn around directed in another direction to avoid him.

Footsteps could be heard, from the corner of her right eye, she knew that the mister was walking towards her. Her heartbeat faster, anxious.

"What are you waiting for? do you want to swim in the pool?" there was no reaction from her, and he could tell that she was in anxiety from the moment their eyes met. To that he added "This pool can also heal various things, both mental and physical, which is why this disease occurs, the 'Pond of Purity'".

His last sentence managed to get a reaction out of her. standing who looked elsewhere, turned, looked at him with eyes full of admiration and disbelief. She moves her gaze between the mister and the pool in front of her.

His lips smirk, he knew that this time she filled with curiosity, more clearly what was meant by he said "If you don't believe it, you can prove it yourself by going into the pool, soaking, then you will feel refreshed, a freshness that you can't imagine. If you soak longer, you will feel your body more lights, the blood flow in your body flows in harmony with the music under the wind here, "he explained proudly. Glad, he added something that caught her attention.

He continued "Ah… yes, the wind is here. if you concentrate then you will be able to hear the strains, these strains make your mind relaxed and calm. Open your mind to a better, more concentrated, and open-minded. That's why it's called the 'Strain of Benevolence'"

Her eyebrows furrowed together. The 'Strain of Benevolence' she repeated the words the Mister had said to herself. She tilted her head slightly while thinking and tried to concentrate on listening to the wind blowing. Not enough, she closed her eyes, concentrating more deeply. A moment later, it was true. The sound of the wind drifted, voices could be heard softly in her ears. The voice makes your heart at ease. The voice that teaches you virtue. The voice can give meaning to life.

She took a long and deep breath. She had never felt, such a feeling. Her mind was very calm, as calm as water on the surface of the Pond of Purity. 'What is this place, why is the wind here giving her the peace she's been looking for all this time. The serenity she never thought, she would never get in her entire life on the east sea coast. Not at Xiao Hai's house which is full of joy, playing together with the children. Not even on the coast of the east sea coast, when she seeks peace in the commotion of the heart, listening to the sound of the waves, constantly roaring as the wind blows along the coast.

He is smiling seeing Qing Yang close her eyes, a wide smile graced his face. Xuan Lung walked towards the pond, squatting down. His palms entered the pool, cupping water into the palms of his hands. He lifted it close to his face. He could see his face reflected in the water in his palms. 'Yes, the water here can also see into you clearly, as clear as the water'. The light radiated from his face.

He turned to Qing Yang, who was still standing in the same place, stunned. Her eyes couldn't take his eyes off him. He stood up, turned to face her. "If you take a closer look at the surface of the water, you can see the real you"

Her eyes widened even more, and this time his last words got a response from her. the curiosity filled her. Moreover, the mister's reaction was full of suspicion. The flow is wrinkled, trying to look intently into the Mister's eyes.

"Where is this place? What do you mean Mister, I can see the real me?" she asked curiously.

Instead of answering her question, he said "Well, you have to see for yourself, if I say it will only make you more confused and curious, please" He reached out his right hand towards the pool while nodded his head once, approvingly.

Once again Qing Yang's eyes, drifting her gaze between the Mister before her and the pool. Her brow furrows deepened. She stepped hesitantly. Slowly she walked towards the pool. When she reached the edge of the pool she leaned her head into the pool, seeing her reflection on the surface of the water. He waited for a moment, but nothing changed, she tilted her head left and right, her brows furrowed deeply. Her eyes stared intently at the surface of the water. the shadow she saw in the water was herself, which she had always seen every morning, when she washed her face. She took a deep breath, stunned and irritated.

She turned to the Mister. cast a sharp look into the Mister's eyes. 'Why has this mister since appeared before her always behave irrationally, can't be trusted'.

Receiving a deadly glare, Xuan Lung smiled widely, he knew very well that she felt cheated.

"Miss, you have to go into the water, submerge your whole body in the water for a moment. After you do what I said earlier. Only then will you be able to see the real you," he said clearly, densely and firmly.

Her furrowed brow softened, she glanced at the pool, hesitating.

"Well, there's no need to be afraid, I won't do anything. I'll just stand here, watching," he informed her, not wanting to further her suspicions.

She clasped her hands together in front of her stomach. Squeezing her fingers. Her eyes were rolling in the shells of her eyes, contemplating. 'Should I follow this Mister's words. But behind the treatment looks suspicious. But if I don't try then I can't prove the truth of his words. It could be true that it is true, as well as the gust of wind, as he said as the wind blows, it is true that there are soothing strains of Benevolence, well at least I have to try' She concluded inwardly.

This time she stepped with certainty. She puts one foot in, the next one follows. Slowly she entered the pool and it turned out that there would be steps that gave her footsteps steadier to enter the water. Strangely, every step she took didn't make the water ripple as usual and it should have happened when there was going to be upheaval in the water. The surface of the water remained calm, her heart was curious and full of admiration. Fish of various types and colors did not swim away but instead swam around her, as if they liked being around her and wanted to play with her. She smiled widely. She descended the steps a few more steps until the water level reached her waist.

She turned to the Mister and Xuan Lung nodded his head, signalling for her to continue. She turned her head into the water, she slowly lowered her body, slowly but surely. She took a breath and caught it in her throat. Unknowingly she stopped the circulation of the air into her lungs, that make feel suffocated. But without hesitation she took a deep breath and the next second she buried her head in the water.

She closed her eyes in the water. Trying to concentrate, a moment later she really felt what the Mister said. everything she said was true. But somehow, she still felt suspicion in her heart towards the Mister. She rose to the surface and as before the surface of the water did not ripple and remained calm. She's seeing her reflection on the surface of the water. All she saw was a face she had always seen and recognized but the next second slowly the shadow changed shape, and this made her eyes wide open, shocked.
