Xinjiang Tianshan forest
At the edge of the outer zone of the forest, four camps were surrounding a cave. Those camps belong to the four nations. The four camps were separated by a large gap of the area between them. The construction of houses was still going on inside those camps. Each of the camps was filled with armies from their nation. While the cave was guarded 24/7 by a group of 10 men from the four nations.
" Guys, our shift is just 4 hrs. Let's work together and follow the rules. " A man among the group said.
" Yep, a team was punished severely yesterday. One among them was caught dozing off in their shift." Another man added.
All of them agreed with the two. Then, they began guarding the cave with alertness.
When their shift was about to end, a hooded tall figure and a little girl came out of the cave.
" Intruder!" One man alerted seeing the two of them coming out of the cave.
Then, the group surrounded them. They were ready to attack them.
" Who are you? " One man asked.
" We are here to meet Tang Mie lien. Alright, we are leaving." The hooded man spoke out. He then held the little girl and started walking out of them.
" Wait, why do you want to meet Princess Mie lien? " A man from Tang nation asked.
" You don't need to know." The hooded man said and continued walking while holding the little girl. The girl looked around the surrounding curiously.
Then armies from the four camps were alerted, so they all quickly surrounded him.
" Little Xiuying, close your eyes." He said. The little girl obediently closed her eyes.
The man chanted a mantra. Then the space before them started rupturing and a spatial door appeared before them. Then, he walked inside it along with the little girl. Afterward, the spatial door disappeared quickly along with them.
" The intruders have disappeared from there." One of the men shouted with surprise.
" We should report this matter quickly. That man disappeared out of thin air. Lucky that we don't fight with him. Otherwise, we will die here today." The leader from the Fire nation said while sighing heavily.
Then the leaders of the four camps write the details of the intruders and send them to their headquarters using messenger birds.

The northern fort, Tang nation
Mie lien was currently reading the file of the report inside her office.
'Creak'
The door opened and Zhang Cong entered the room.
" Elder sister, an emergency letter came from that cave. " She said. Then, she gave a letter to her.
Mie lien took it and read the letter. Then, she gave it back to her.
" No need to care about this matter. The hooded man must be my brother's master. Cong'er, we should go to the gate to welcome him. He is here to meet me."
At that time, a guard reported from outside the room, " General, there is a hooded man outside the gate. He insisted on meeting you. "
" Oh, he is already here. Cong'er, let's go." Mie lien said and they walked out of the room.
When they reached the gate, Mie lien saw the hooded man along with a little girl.
" Hello, senior. We met again. Let's go to my office. Please follow me." She welcomed him warmly.
The man nodded and they returned to the office.
They were sitting inside the room while Cong'er served tea for them.
" Senior, I heard that you want to meet me. " Mie lien started the conversation.
" I am here to give you this little girl here. She is your brother's child. " He said.
Then, he looked at Xiuling, patted her head, and said, " Little girl, this is your aunt Mie lien. You stay with her from now on."
Mie lien looked at her. Her eyes and face look a bit similar to that of her brother. The girl was hugging a little white tiger. She too looked at her curiously.
" Little girl, what is your name? Come here. " Mie lien stood up and walked toward her. She then picked her up. The little girl was a bit shy, but she still allowed her to picked her.
" Aunty, my name is Tang Xiuying." The little girl replied.
" Is it your pet? It looks very obedient." Mie lien asked, knowing that the white tiger was a lvl 3 beast.
She nodded and replied," She is called 'Little Jizhi'. It is a gift from my papa. Even though she looks obedient, sometimes she tries to run away from me."
Then she started pulling the little tiger's both ears strongly.
" Wake up, sleepyhead. Greet my aunty. She will be my family from today onward." She shouted at the sleeping tiger while pulling the ears.
The little tiger woke up abruptly with pain. She tried to roar but stopped mid-way and whimpered. She looked at Mie lien and growled at her. Then the little girl stopped pulling her ears. She looked at Mie lien with an innocent smile and said, " Look aunty, little Witty is clever. She just greeted you."
" So, that is the reason the tiger is running away from you." Mie lien smiled weirdly and murmured to herself.
" Little Xiuying, you go and play with aunt Cong'er outside." Mie lien spoke and signaled Zhang Cong'er to take her outside the room.
After they left the room, Tang Mie lien looked at the hooded man with some doubts.
" Senior, where is my brother?"
" He is currently training inside that planet."
" About the little girl, she seems to be around 4 or 5 years old and my brother is just 15 years old now. How is this possible?" Mie lien asked her doubts.
" The little girl is his blood daughter. It seems that she was brought here from the future timeline by someone." The hooded man replied.
" From the future. Anyway, she is my family from now onward. So, when will my brother come out?"
" He will come out exactly after a year. Alright, time to leave, I have some business to do." He then stood up.
" Goodbye senior." She stood up too.
The hooded man looked in the direction of the little girl outside the room once deeply. Then, he nodded at Mie lien and disappeared quickly.
