After arranging Feng Cheng to stay in the guest room, Murong Yun Shu returned to Qingfeng Pavillion in her private courtyard, waiting for the uninvited guests. Sure enough, they arrived before she could even warm her seat.
"Madam," East, South, West, North Guardians lined up outside her study respectfully and very gentleman-like, as though they would not enter unless she invite them.
"You need sothing?" She asked the obvious questions.
"Boss sent us to bring sothing to you," replied East Guardian. West Guardian produced a fit-size, square brocade box, holding it in both hands, like it was an offering.
"Miss, here," Lu'er took the brocade box and handed it to her Mistress.
Murong Yun Shu took the brocade box from Lu'er, gave the four guardians a cool look and gently opened the box. On top a red fabric laid an elegant Lantian jade pendant with gold rim. The pendant was wide on top and narrow on the bottom, the shape was plenty odd. The top side carved a fiery red manjusaka1 and the back side a very expressive, calligraphy form of the character "Ge"2. This jade is an emblem of Chu Changge, but why was he giving it to her now? What was the aning of this?

Murong Yun Shu closed the brocade box and looked at the four guardians. "Why is he giving this to ?"
Eastern Guardian said, "This not just any common jade. It's a special jade from ancient tis. It has the ability to get rid of all poisons. If you wear it close to your body, it can also repel all poisons. It used to be the commanding badge of generations of mojiao sect leaders. It represented the leader being there whenever it went. Later on, our leader split it into two and hired soone to polish them into two separate pieces -- one of them is the ying one and the other pieces the yang one. Together they can be piece together into the taichi symbol. This is the yang piece and has been guarded by our leader. But another reason he had us gave this you was because of it's na."
