"As your great-grandfather always reminds me, what is constant in the entire universe is change. Because everything moves around us, Earth revolves, temperatures change, and asteroids, comets, and meteors all move, as well as the planets. What we can only be sure of are the upcoming events. While we can foresee the future, it can still change." Ling Li explained.

"Mom, this is the first time we have discussed this; I have no idea how complex it is."

"Yes, Son. When I draw your blood, that is to see especially for you, but for the other matters, I could know the situation but not the details. If I want the details, I could, but I need a lot of preparation and energy to do it." Ling Li explained further.

"Mom, don't do it," Shi Min said sternly after his ears perked when he heard his Mom saying she needed a lot of energy to know the details.

"You don't need to know the details. We have a lot of resources to find out." Shi Min reminded ling Li.

Ling Li chuckled after she heard her son's words.

"Now my son is scolding me; I need to retire." Ling Li commented jokingly.

"Mom, I mean every word," Shi Min said seriously.

"Son, I know you mean well, and don't be too harsh on Mom. But you broke your promise to me. Mom is unhappy."

"Promise? What promise?" Shi Min looked at his mother blankly.

"You told Ren you met Otako." Ling Li declared.

Shi Min's face instantly turned ugly and grim, and he could only purse his lips to a thin line.

"She blackmailed me," Shi Min reacted. "That brat!"

Ling Li giggled.

"Ren told you, didn't she?" Shi Min asked with his face in a fury.

"Ren kept asking me why she couldn't meet Otako, but you can. I was surprised how she made you spill the beans. Of course, I must also torture her before telling her why you can meet Otako while she can't." Ling Li responded.

"I'll punish her!" Shi Min retorted with a snort.

"Easy tiger." Ling Li knows Shi Min loves his sisters, but sometimes, they take advantage of Shi Min's love for them and his soft side. Ren touched his bottom line this time, and Ling Li would let him punish Ren since she was also present and could watch over them.

"I know what to do, Mom." Shi Min gave his certainty to his Mom.

At the camp, Pharsa has been adding many drill exercises for her four trainees, like lunges and burpees, and using sandbags to carry on. After all the drills today, Pharsa led the four gentlemen to the open field with their firearms and targets ready.

"I will teach you how to shoot your rifles," Pharsa announced.

"You have to move with your rifle as one. Your life depends on each other. You need to trust each other." Phrase reminded them and gave them gun safety tips and pointers.

"Position!"

"Shoot!"

The four gentlemen started shooting their targets at sixty yards. After they all finished their rounds, "Retrieve your targets and look at your results," Pharsa instructed them.

They all came back laughing without anyone getting a bullseye. It was their first time, and they all got the same results.

Pharsa expected these results, which is natural for first-timers.

"Reload!"

Someone has already changed their targets.

"Ready, position, Shoot!"

"Retrieve your targets."

"Move it! Move it!" Pharsa yelled as she saw them walking and joking around each other before running back as they heard her shouting.

"Better," Pharsa said; however, she squinted when she saw Chatty's results.

'Dammit.' Pharsa could only curse inwardly.

After their sixth round, Pharsa and the four gentlemen were satisfied with their results.

Just as they finished, Shi Min and the camp commander appeared beside them.

"Masters, the camp has prepared a welcome party for all of you. Coincidentally, our Commander in Chief is here. Isn't this wonderful?" The Camp Commander announced happily.

Pharsa could already smell something fishy going on. She would have known about this occasion if this had been planned.

"We will definitely attend the party," Pharsa replied on behalf of the four masters.

"We will be waiting for all of you at the main ground." The Camp Commander and Shi Min left, with Shi Min giving all of them a simple nod since they can't be too cozy while at the camp.

Meanwhile, Ling Li is having afternoon tea with her two daughters at the mansion.

"Madam!" Mushu calls out, getting all their attention, as he walks briskly toward them.

"What is it, Mushu?"

Mushu looked at Ling Li and looked at Ren.

"Mushu, just say it."

"Madam, Miss Ren. I just received a call from Master Shi Min that during this afternoon's target shooting practice, Master Shun's gun backfired. He is in critical condition, but his blood seems unique.

We have a limited supply of his blood in Camp Blaze. Master Shi Min flew Master Shun to Camp Phoenix, where we had enough supply of blood for the Master." Mushu explained.

"Mom!" Ren shouted hysterically. "I want to see Shun!"

"Calm down, Ren. Did you hear what Mushu said? Shi Min is with Shun. Do you think Shi Min won't take care of Shun? Do you not trust your brother?" Ling Li comforts Ren.

"But Mom, Shun is in critical condition!" Ren said in tears.

"That is because Shun lost blood. Once he gets a blood transfusion, he will be better. Now tell me, what is his blood type?"

"Shun has panda blood, type O Rh Negative," Ren said between tears.

"That is very rare indeed. Mushu, ensure that all our infirmaries have this type of blood available from now on and collect every accessible supply." Ling Li instructed.

"Yes, Madam," Mushu replied, ready to deliver Ling Li's orders.

"Mom, please get an update from Shi Min," Ren said as she pulled her mother's sleeves.

"Let me call the camp first if they have arrived and prepared everything. I don't want to disturb your brother flying the plane." Ling Li replied as she rubbed Ren's hair, walked towards the foyer, and dialed Shi Min's number.

When Shi Min picked up the call, "Mom."

"Shi Min, is this your so-called punishment for your sister?"

Shi Min chuckled and replied. "What do you think, Mom?"
