Ultimate Note: You Are Worthy

The Zhang's Bell Trap

Wu Xie

The next morning, Wu Xie was ready to dive into the lake as soon as he put on the gear. He was impatient to get to the bottom of the lake and see just what happen to Xiaoge and Pangzi while he was away. He needed to know if they were down there somewhere or the current had make them drift somewhere else. Most of all he needed to know if they were still alive.

"Wu Xie, I don't trust Cox Hendry... you should not dive alone, no matter if he demands you to dive on your own." Xiao Hua said to him as he walked into the small port that have been made for the boat that was going to take him into the deepest part of the lake, quite close from where Pangzi had disappeared.

"Xiao Hua, precisely because I don't trust that man is why I rather have you here, instead of going down with me. Keep an eye on things in this camp for me and if it comes to the worse, at least you can try rescue me, along with Xiazi. That's better than all of us getting into troubles with no one else to help." Wu Xie told him and Xiazi put a hand on Xiao Hua's shoulder. The man have been tense ever since Cox Hendry asked Wu Xie to dive alone into the lake and he could understand why.

"Listen to him, Xiao Hua. I doubt that Cox Hendry will mess up with Wu Xie when he had the backing of the Wu family and the Mystic Nine and that goes for you too. Besides, if he tries anything fishy, the two of us can deal with it, right?" Xiazi asked and Xiao Hue sighed.

"Alright then. Just make sure to keep an eye on your oxygen level. We just still don't know how deep that lake is and how long it will take you to reach the bottom. No matter what he wants, you just concentrate on finding Xiaoge and Pangzi and if there is something dangerous, get out immediately." Xiao Hua advised and Wu Xie smiled.

"Don't worry, I will leave marks, just in case something goes wrong. Keep a track on my position for as long as you can and if we lose contact... well, come and find me." Wu Xie said.

"Ah, we will... your cousin will break havoc in this camp if something does happens to you, so go down without worries, because we both have your back securely hooked." Xiazi said.

"Good... now I will be going, just be careful you two while I'm gone. Xiazi... you take care of Xiao Hua for me, okay?" Wu Xie said and Xiao Hua rolled his eyes.

"I can take care of myself." Xiao Hua protested.

"Ah, you know I will love to stick to him at all times."

"I bet you do... don't annoy him too much, thought."

"As if... dive safely, Wu Xie..." Xiazi told him and after a final glance to the pair of lovers, he got inside the boat and was on his way to the marking point on the lake.

Xiao Hua and Xiazi then moved to the table that had been set to monitor Wu Xie's progress with the GPS and communication system and when Wu Xie was in position, they tested the communication before the young man finally dived into the lake.

At 60 meters, Wu Xie could barely see a thing in front of him, yet he told Xiao Hua and Xiazi of everything that he could see so far and that was... an entire village that had been submerged with only and old Zhang Pavilion standing in the bottom of the lake.

"Wu Xie, what is it?" Xiao Hua asked.

"A village... it's most likely the lost Yao Village that was supposed to be on Banai. I will go down the lone Pavilion that is left standing. Is the only place I can see that Xiaoge and Pangzi could be in. Maybe there is a room or something that still have some air inside." Wu Xie transmitted.

"Okay, just be careful as you dive deeper... make sure you have enough air to come back."

"Don't worry, if I find Xiaoge and Pangzi, nothing will stop me from getting them back." Wu Xie teased and Xiazi smiled.
