Ling Yue's stunning silver eyes flickered open as the moon's pale rays once again shown upon her body.
Clawing at the ground beneath her, she slowly staggered up and leaned against a tree. Her clothing was merely a bunch of rags, tattered and barely covering what needs to be covered.
"Where.... am I?"
Her unfamiliar surroundings, however, didn't stump her as much as the fact that she was alive. How? She had no clue. Where? she didn't know either. To be honest, right now, she didn't know much at all.
Her vision blurred, and she again collapsed on the ground.

"Murong Xue Meng, wake up and go fulfill your destiny."
The dream faded away and Ling Yue woke again to realise that this wasn't earth anymore, she has been transported into the martial world. Moreover, she was the illegitimate daughter of one of the four noble families in this Jade Mist City, the Murong family.
The four noble families or known as the Vermilion Phoenix Murong family in the north, the Azure Dragon Nangong family in the west, the White Tiger Ouyang family in the south and the Black Tortoise Sima family in the east.
Currently, the strongest family was the Nangong family, their political power was unrivalled and their martial ability was upheld by their young lord Nangong Xue Hai. Even the City lord have to give them some face.
Her Murong family was placed after the Nangong family, to be honest, their means aren't much lower than the Nangong family, however due to internal strife, they weren't considered as strong.
Then it was the Ouyang family and finally the Sima family.
Usually, being a child of a noble house is considered a good thing, however, with Murong Xue Meng being a martial genius and an illegitimate daughter, there are naturally many people after her life, her step-mother, step-sisters and brothers were only a few. If she was useless, she would be either long dead or ignored, but she wasn't, she was no doubt a genius. Her attainments on the martial path almost exceeded her half-sisters who were hailed as geniuses almost the second they were born, with both gaining martial spirits that were in the Heavenly realm they were second only to the two brothers from the Nangong family. After poisoning Murong Xue Meng Murong Qing Yue and Murong Qing Yang were basically guaranteed on a road of success in the future as there was no one else to compete for the Murong Family inheritance.
However for Murong Xue Meng it means that she has to first cure her poison before doing anything else. If she circulates her essence qi in this state the poison will exacerbate and she will definitely die.
After thinking for awhile, Ling Yue really couldn't come up with much except set of acupuncture techniques she learnt from her grandfather. When she was learning them, she really thought that he was some loony old man, but who knew this set of acupuncture techniques might really save her life.
She pressed down on her acupoints in the way that her grandfather taught her, and who knew it really worked. She spat out a mouth full of black blood and expelled most of the poison within her body.
Wiping her tattered sleeve against her dry, cracked lips she plopped down again on the ground next to the tree and thought about how to approach this situation. Murong Xue Meng was currently 10 years old, with a cultivation of 9th layer earthly realm, her sisters Murong Qing Yang and Murong Qing Yue and first and second layer harmonisation realm currently, stronger than her. Not even mentioning her half- brother Murong Qing Feng and step-mother Qiu Lisi, Murong Xue Meng was already at a disadvantage. But thinking that half of a family wanted to murder a 10 year old child Ling Yue felt a shiver crawl through her spine.
Since Murong Xue Meng had done such a huge favour for Ling Yue, she vowed that she would take revenge for Murong Xue Meng.
