*Lijuan's POV
Its been a year. Even though I settled down in this unknown world, I still missed home. I missed my two elder sisters, my father and lastly, my mother. Even though I found out that she knew where I was all this while and was a little bit mad with her, I realized it wasn't her fault. Without that cursed time stone, no one could save me. I also found out recently that someone had burnt the whole of the Shijan Clan. Somehow, I feel guilty. They were my mother's people. I had to find out who would be so cruel as to do that.
The head of the Clan had sent me a message. The only lead they had was the color of the robes those men wore. Should I ask Chaoxing for help? He was the only one I could turn to now. Just as my thoughts kept wandering, I notice envoys of the palace approaching the main hall. I rush out with Ruomei.
"The emperor's decree!" Bao jing said. The grand princess and Chaoxing arrive. We all knee down to receive the decree.
