Sisters (3)

Huai Li Qi went to all of them holding Kei Yan Mei's hands. Nodding to the girl she was agreeing to help the girl and her town from their downfall. "Please! Can you take me with you!? I want to do my part as well." Kei Ren held her hand tight looking to the little girl. Huai Li Qi smiled to her she then looked to Yu Suyin. Yu Suyin handed a uniform of their outfit giving it to the little girl. It was smaller one with the same color as the night. They remained hiding their face and figures from being known easily.

They wore the uniform with the Phoenix symbol. Going to the official’s home he was deep asleep. Awoken from hearing the thud in his room. He was about to scream when Yu Suyin threw a dagger close to his face hitting the wooden cabinet behind him. "Scream and you will die instantly." Yu Suyin said with the official holding his mouth close.

"So, you've been taking bribes from the people and their goods. We want to kill you right now, but it will not happen. Instead, something else more entertaining will happen." Weng Yan Mei said looking to Huai Li Qi. He saw Huai Li Qi's eyes thinking of her as the devil child. He tried screaming, but no voice came out due to seeing how frightening her eyes were. Huai Li Qi then rose her hand for them to go ahead, they then started beating him up. The four of them now were gathering people of the town.

"What is this? Can we really take these?" They then asked looking at the four of them in uniform with the Phoenix symbol.

"Yes, go ahead and take these. The officials will not know but we left something as our signature sign. Our master here planned everything." Yu Suyin said. She had the people looking to Huai Li Qi who they could only see her kind smile.

"Thank you! We are forever grateful to you all!" The people were crying and then started taking all the things taken from them. Leaving a signature that they had taken all the food when it was the people they were returning it to.

Huai Li Qi smiled under her mask that the people were happy. Going to Kei Yan Mei's home, she was smiling as they were taking their things to leave. "Wait! Can I leave with you three? I no longer have a home now and no family. My family are gone, but I can only repay your debt by joining you all."

Weng Yan Mei and Yu Suyin faced their Older Sister if she was going to let Kei Ren join them. Huai Li Qi smiled knowing that the girl was young but she was correct about having no one left. Going over to the little girl, she held her hands. Hugging the little girl she patted her back.

"Sister Li Qi welcomes you to the family. Welcome to Huang Family. From now on you are Huang Kei Ren." Weng Yan Mei told her as they smiled to one another. They only used their real name to each other but their family name out in public.

The four traveled the whole country of their home. Helping those who needed help. Huai Li Qi taught the two youngest girls to fight although they would always be beaten by her and Yi Suyin. They would always pick themselves up with Yu Suyin just listening to how they struggle to get up. The two girls were practicing together while Huai Li Qi went to sit next to Yu Suyin.

"Does Sister Li Qi wish to go somewhere?" Yu Suyin faced her Huai Li Qi as she smiled.

Huai Li Qi could never hide anything from Yu Suyin, she faced her grabbing her palm. '"I want to travel to Shaanxi Jilin. It is where I was raised but we will have to wait." She wrote in her palm with Yu Suyin smiling.

"When do you plan to go back?" Yu Suyin included.

"When those two sisters of ours improve first. People there are not ordinary common fighters." Huai Li Qi replies knowing her father was now working with the village. Huai Li Qi needed to teach her little sisters to know how to defend themselves when she wasn't around them.

Two years later...

Packing, they all had been traveling with each other for two years now. Enjoying each other's company, Huai Li Qi and Yu Suyin were twenty, Weng Yan Mei was nineteen, and Kei Ren was eighteen. They all grew very well, Huai Li Qi watched over them like her own family and sisters. Never had they ever had such a close and better understanding of one another knowing better of their likes and dislikes.

Traveling back, they saw Huai Li Qi's hometown was still standing with the town happy and thriving. Knowing this was going to happen, she went straight to the home she built with her mother all nearly burnt but still stood from the stones.

Opening the door, her sisters saw the run down place with her touching the burnt walls and place like she remembered all her time with her mother there. Covering her gold-yellow eye with her bangs from the officials. Only her brown eye was seen-able.

Just as they followed her, they heard footsteps approaching which they then hid in the places available to fit in. Hiding they then watched and listened.

"What do you mean there were people just here?! No one has been here for at least 2-3 years. Huai Li Qi knew the voice very well. Peeking from the closet she hid in. It was Hua Jun Jie, he still remained the same but he wore attires that were of a chief's. She sees it now that he was the chief of the town. She felt angry not even wanting to meet him or Xu Lin.

"Watch this place! She could return anytime and we still need her. She is the only one that can profit this towns materials of gold and silver to fine jewelry."

She hated their way of seeing how they made jewelry. It was made with feelings and meaning. Her mother taught her that such fine jewelry should not just be made but made with meaning behind it. Hau Jun Jie and his men left, they all got out of their hiding places. Yu Suyin got down from the roof, Weng Yan Mei got out from the pile of wood she hid behind, Kei Ren got out of the giant pot she hid in.

"Sister Li Qi, were they talking about you?" Weng Yan Mei asked her.
