"Let's go from here.", Mu Yang said and held Xin Ye's hand.
Mu Yang and Xin Ye came inside the car. Xin Ye was still afraid by remembering about the fight. Anything could have happened at that time. But Mu Yang protected her.
"Thanks for saving me.", Xin Ye said and there was a relief in her voice.
Mu Yang nodded his head. He looked at Xin Ye's finger from where the blood was dripping. He held her hand and due to the sudden action Xin Ye got surprised.
"You are hurt.", Mu Yang said.
"It's okay. It's just a normal cut.", Xin Ye said.
Mu Yang looked around. He put his hands inside the pocket and then took out a handkerchief. He looked at it and then he wrapped it around Xin Ye's finger.
"Ouch... Leave it...", Xin Ye said.
"Shut up.", Mu Yang said seriously.
Xin Ye closed her lips and looked at Mu Yang. After wrapping the handkerchief in her finger, Mu Yang left her hand.
"Apply medicine when you will reach home.", Mu Yang said.
"Hmm. Thanks!", Xin Ye said and she smiled.
Mu Yang looked at her smile. Then he diverted his gaze and looked outside the window.
Xin Ye started the car. She drove it and then left Mu Yang outside his apartment. Xin Ye then went to her apartment.

In Xin Ye's Apartment

It's noon time. Xin Ye cooked food for herself. She cooked chicken noodles soup. She came into the balcony and put the bowl on a table.
Xin Ye sat on a couch and then she ate her food. She took another bite but then someone rang the doorbell.
Xin Ye got up and covered her food. She came to the door and opened it. Li Hua was standing there. She hugged Xin Ye tightly.
"I have something to tell you.", Li Hua said excitedly.
"Wh…what?", Xin Ye asked.
"My grandp has told me something very interesting. He believes that Chronofang is still here but we need to find it. He also talked about it's power.", Li Hua said.
Xin Ye brought her friend in the balcony. She made her sit.
"It's very good that he knows. But first eat something!", Xin Ye said.
"No... I have had lunch with Chen! I can't eat anything right now.", Li Hua said.
Xin Ye nodded her head. She grabbed her bowl and looked interestingly at her best friend.
"What did your grandfather tell you?", Xin Ye asked.
"Yesterday I went to my grandfather's house. He was very sick. He couldn't even stand up from his bed. I asked about his health and sat with him. Then my grandfather asked me what work I did. I told him a little about Chao Xiang's sculpture. He looked at me in shock, as if I had chosen his favorite topic. After that we both talked for a long time. My grandfather gave me a book which he said is very old.", Li Hua said and took a deep breath.
"About what the book was?", Xin Ye asked.
"It was about Chao Xiang's Chronofang and his fifty percent treasury which still exists. My grandfather told me that there is no sign of the lost Kingdom but there is a secret place where we can find Chao Xiang's Chronofang and his treasury.", Li Hua asked.
Xin Ye's mouth opened and she stared at her friend with wide eyes.
"But how does he know? Didn't he try to find the Chronofang?" Xin Ye asked.
"Yes... He tries to find it by a map which is in the book. It was not a common book but it was very old!", Li Hua said.
"Where is the book?", Xin Ye asked.
"His friend stole the book and ran away. My grandfather doesn't know where the book is? But he does believe in everything in which we are researching. He told me about a place and it's in south. ", Li Hua said and she made a pout.
"South!", Xin Ye said shockingly. She was confused too because it could be any place.
"His friend's name was Nicol Dao and he was from Taiwan.", Li Hua said.
