○ Hey everyone Mila this side. So in the previous chapter we ended up when Liao Yi was about to tell something extremely important to Shu Jinbao. Let's dive in. ○
Liao Yi- Have some tea.....(passes the tea cup to him)
Shu Jinbao, Thank you...(drinks it slowly).
Liao Yi- I wanted to talk to you about Jingsì...(sharply)
Shu Jinbao, What is it grand aunt?
Liao Yi- Jinbao, you are one of my most powerful student who knows herbal medication as well as you have leart all your cultivation techniques from me.
Shu Jinbao, Yes Grand aunt but why are you talking about this all of a sudden and what does this has to do with that girl?
Liao Yi- Jingsì is not any girl, she is the most powerful entity present on land....
Shu Jinbao, (shocked and accidentally let goes his cup from his hands) Yo...yo...you me...an she....
Liao Yi- Yes Jinbao it's her! She is the only one who can control the natural mana and resurrect even the dead. But her meridial system was damaged when she was born so she cannot control her powers.
Shu Jinbao, So...Grand aunt.....Jingsì is....she is....my....she...(in a very shrewd tone)
Liao Yi- yes Jinbao she is your master. The one that I have trained you to protect. She has no constraints over her powers and if her powers go into the wrong hands there will be no life till 2000 millenias. She is the purest form of nature. You are her guardian. Her protector. I gave you the cultivation knowledge so that you can protect the ancestrial spirit of nature inside her body...Now you have a purpose to your life...
Shu Jinbao was shocked from this discovery but then he remembered Master Liao Yi's words and suddenly changed his mind to submit to his master Jingsì. He recalled that he made a promise to Liao Yi that she will only teach him if he agreed that he would serve the most powerful entity alive in human form. So he doesn't lashed out but instead he swore to protect Jingsì till his death as well he swore to be loyal towards his master and as she was a young girl he would protect and support her like her elder brother. After saying this he bows in front of Liao Yi and does the sincerity knotows.
Liao Yi- Jinbao l am very happy that you chose to protect her but in order to do that you must follow 3 rules. The first rule is that Jingsì doesn't know about her true identity and her true form so you will never mention this truth to her. The second rule is that you will never tell her that she is your master and that you will only follow her rational decisions. Her command only matters to you if it's suitable for her safety. The last one being you have to be with her as a guidance and as a helper. Act like her elder brother and you must protect her at all cost as well you must teach her the combined six cultivations that I taught you.
Shu Jinbao, Yes but...the six cultivations..
...need an extremely strong body but....she is a girl.....I mean will she be able to balance the Qi?
Liao Yi- Jinbao her body managed the purest energy of nature so she can easily manage that amount of Qi. You just need to free her from all her demerits. Rest she can figure out herself.
Shu Jinbao, Understood...I will obey the Grant Aunt's order and serve Master. I will abide by the 3 rules strictly. If I make a mistake to do so I will pierce myself with the Drug nails.
Liao Yi- I know you won't make any mistakes. I'm counting on you to protect her.
Elsewhere at the palace,
Meiwou yard, The princess and prince arrive at the main gate together. The race was a tie. Princess A'rou warned Yan yo to not provoke father because he is already extremely angry. This warning was because Yan and his father's relations were not on good terms and he never respected him as his father but only as the emperor of Zifen. They both got of their horses and walked down the gates of Meiwou yard directly into the garden where Qi Ying noticed A'rou and Yan enter the pavilion. She jumped out and hugged Yan immediately. She stopped crying and then started scolding that she was absolutely dumbstruck when she didn't find him in his room.
Princess Ying, Brother! (crying angrily) Never do such a thing ever again! Do you know how scared we were.....!
Prince Yan, (Consoling her) Silly! I'm the price and your brother nothing can happen to me piggy girl! (smiling and teasing her)
Qi Ying awes and hits him to stop calling her Piggy girl. She exclaimed that she is not a pig nor she is fat. Then Yan exclaimed that she is a piggy girl indeed. They started talking and bickering when the emperor stepped in the garden and exclaimed "Yan Yo!" in the worst possible tone. everyone standing got chills down their spine even both the princesses. But Yan did not bother to him at all.
Emperor, You rebellious brat! How dare you snuck out of the palace without my permission!?
Yan Yo- Your Majesty (with a smirk he turned to face the emperor) I just went on and excursion what's with this yelling for? I'm the crowned prince and I understand my responsibilities so I went out to acquire the healing weed for Ying'er. Why making a fuss at this?
Emperor, You incompetent brat! dare to talk to me like that.(looks at Ying and A'rou furiously)
A'rou, (in a low tone whispers) I told you not to aggravate his fury. Can't you respect him once at least?
Yan Yo- Shut up! (to A'rou)
Ying, You went out to find the healing herb to cure my illness? are you out of your mind!?
Yan Yo- You're my sister and I...
SHUT UP* Emperor commanded.
He asked him to bow but he didn't responded.
Emperor, okay! So you have the guts to disrespect and disregard your father's word and you also claim you tittle very dearly .... right?
Yan Yo- That is not...
QUITE!
Since you desire to go out of this palace so much then I will definitely grant this wish of yours for you. Qin Jong!
(Qin Jong is the royal command voice for the decree by the emperor)
Qin Jong, Servent is here Your Majesty!
Emperor, Send my decree to all the royal subjects that starting today Prince Yan will be punished by 30 strikes of log 3 times a day and that he will go to the red fountain palace to train and meditate himself with Qi Ying and A'rou after his 17th birthday. From that day he is no longer the crown prince of Zifen but a mere student of Master Lianchao. Let him live like that until he figures out how to respect his elders!
Start with the 30 strikes of log and escort both the princesses to Gwang ji Yard now!
Qin Jong, Yes your highness! Guards!
The prince is so angry down his ego that he doesn't talks back instead he kneels while the guard starts beating him with a wooden log on his back so as to follow the Emperor's command to discipline his son. Yan Yo looks furiously down and endures the pain and humiliation. He is extremely mad at himself that he is the son of the killer of his mother. Inside his mind he starts to imagine the day when he wanted to play with his mother and saw the emperor stab her 13 times with his sword to death. He was a baby at that time only 6 years old and this made him endure the log strikes at his back.
○This chapter ends here in the next chapter we will see how days passed and the celebration for the prince's birthday came to be lively and fun. Jingsì had to make a tough choice. ○
