Sisters (2)

Yu Suyin looked to Huai Li Qi with a smile. "I want to make him hurt like her and for the public to see." She said. Huai Li Qi smiled to Yu Suyin who stood in front of her with a wise choice. "I've trained all my life to come this far. My friend would never sleep with a man just so that she can become his concubine. She would have found it rather more disgusting and disgraceful than to gain out of it." Yu Suyin told both of them. Huai Li Qi smiled knowing this woman was a strong one.

Going up to her, she held Yu Suyin’s hand. "We will help you with this mission. I want to seek her a fair justice." All three looked to each other as they smiled.

Going back in his Manor, they were all dressed like the night with their faces covered, leaving only their eyes. The masks they wore had Phoenix symbols on, they went in the ministers home. He was sound asleep, they started holding their swords out. He was soon awoken by Yu Suyin's small dagger to his throat.

"Ahh!!! Who are you people?!" He said loudly shaking in fear.

"Why don't we first settle things?" Yu Suyin said, he then screamed. They were not going to kill him. They were beating him just like how he had beaten Yu Suyin's friend before her last moments.

The three girls leaned against the giant pillar of wood, they watched the crowd seeing the Minister bruised all over his body and face. Not a single spot missed as the girls were smiling. "I would like to join you both on your journey. I have no home or meaning left here. I wish to follow you and Yan Mei. If it’s not asking for too much." Yu Suyin knelt before them to accept her.

Huai Li Qi had been observing and judging Yu Suyin. She had already planned to let her join since the beginning. Going over to Yu Suyin, she had her step up again and wrote, "Welcome to the family."

Yu Suyin smiled and held onto Huai Li Qi's hands. "Sister Li Qi, what are we going to do now?" Weng Yan Mei asked. She was worried now that the minister had asked for men to find them. Huai Li Qi walked ahead first with both following. Going to the next town, they were eating at a small restaurant.

Weng Yan Mei and Yu Suyin were arguing to each other about their fighting skills since Yu Suyin would be the type to surpass Weng Yan Mei's.

Smiling to their argument, Huai Li Qi enjoyed it as it made her remember her and her mother in those times making it lively. Soon enough, they then stopped to hear a few folks speaking.

"Have you heard? Officials have been taking bribes and all of our goods. Not a single official would want to listen to our words but the nobles."

"That's right! They think they are so high and mighty!" The men spoke as woman then started joining in.

Weng Yan Mei saw the look of her Older Sister's face, holding unbearable anger. Yu Suyin could feel the anger emitting off Huai Li Qi since she couldn't see it but she could feel her emotions.

"Do you wish to do something?" Yu Suyin spoke to her with Huai Li Qi looking to the both of them. Huai Li Qi finished her bowl of food as the three of the then left. Going to the officials, seeing how they punished the innocent people just trying to love their lives freely.

Those beaten were poor elder folks, Huai Li Qi held her fist. Seeing how they were treated she climbed down no longer able to watch. Soon enough, both of her comrades saw her punch a tree with her fists bleeding. They ran to hold her back when she was filled with anger.

"Sister Li Qi! Please don't hurt yourself! We will follow you and help you in every way we can." Weng Yan Mei said.

"We can only punish those who have done wrong. No one will listen to us as we are no lower than the common people." Yu Suyin said. Huai Li Qi sat down holding her heavy head filled with so much hatred that a world they lived in existed.

Getting up, Weng Yan Mei then started wrapping Huai Li Qi's fist that were bleeding. They soon met with a young girl who looked to be about sixteen who looked to them. She was crying at two small hills as they walked to her. "Little girl, why are you crying?" Yu Suyin spoke to her as she got up wiping her face.

"The officials had beaten my mother and father to death. Today they were just trying to have their money and belongings back that were taken from them. They were beaten for it! I want to kill those officials that did them wrong!" The little girl held a small cooking knife. Huai Li Qi then went up and took the knife hugging the girl. Rubbing the little girl's head, the little girl started to cry in her arms.

‘Little girl, you've lost your parents both on the same day. You are still so young.’ Huai Li Qi thought to herself as the little girl invited them to her run down home.

"I'm sorry. My home has been like this since we've been growing poor every day. The emperor had ordered that everything the common people have must be taken. I cannot give you three anything to eat."

"We don't want anything to eat or have returned. Us three travel and find justice for those who were wronged. Little girl, what is your name?" Yu Suyin asked.

"My name is Kei Ren. Who are you people?" The little girl then said with them smiling to her.

"My name is Weng Yan Mei. Sister Li Qi, she cannot speak but when you understand her well enough you can understand her in another way. Yu Suyin over there is very much like Sister Li Qi. She cannot see, but is very well trained to know where to go." Weng Yan Mei introduced them as the girl smiled.

"I want to ask if you three will help me punish the officials that take everything away from us. I want you all to help us. This town will die if we lose everything we have." She bowed to them, they held her back up.

"Sister Li Qi wants to help this town. She doesn't have anything against them to not help. Right?" Weng Yan Mei looked over to Huai Li Qi.
