Ting came to his room.
Than stared at his right hand .The thunder shock which killed his enemy came from this hand or maybe not .
He removed his robe .Pulled back his sleeves .Upon a closer look he could see A paper similar colour to his skin . Attached on his right hand .Unless someone looked carefully it would appear as normal skin.
It appeared on his arm after the opponent who grabbed him was killed by thunder .
In front of Biao he had covered it sleeves so that he doesn't notice .
Because he had seen vague message on it before . Previously he didn't had oppurtune time and Mood to check it .
But now he was curious.
Slowly peeling the skin paper .The message was unveiled.
"Teng biao is an evil cultivatior do not trust him ."Ting was stubbed.There was only one person He knew named biao.
Message continued"Teng biao was a royal prince 300 years ago .He was banished From Biao kingdom 80 years ago .Because It was found out He was practicing evil and devilish methods to increase his cultivation .
Things like sacrificing rituals,Blood rituals ,Devil summonings were conducted for a long time In his mansion. Skeletons under his mansion could easily number ten thousands . it was only after He tried to assassinate other princes .In order to become Crown prince and later emperor .
He was exposed by other princes .Since he was prince even after numerous crimes he wasn't killed but banished out of Biao kingdom .A secret order was later released.if Teng biao stepped into Biao kingdom.He will
Immediately be executed without any questions ."
Ting was shaken .His back was drenched in sweat . fear engulfed him .what the hell was this .
Who send him this message .was this information true or not .
If the message was fake than was it sent intentional To make him and tong have fall out with General biao .
But Biao being prince of Biao kingdom was true .His brother had told him about everything.
what if it was true ?.Who sent it ?.And why to him ? Was it just coincidence he got this message ?.
Did other enemies also carried some message .If they did it was too late to found out .Their bodies had already been dealt with .
Truthfully He was more inclined to believe the message was fake .There was no way a good person like fath- general biao can be such person . But in his heart he had always suspected the sudden windfall.He always wanted to the know the reason.
For years he had only one reason and that Biao was just kind & generous person .What other valued, to him was nothing .A person filled with compassion or so he thought.
But but .....what if it's true ?.His body turned chill after reading the message.
He had many questions.But there was no further message .Just a name of place .
Is this so I can meet the sender ?.
That night Ting didn't sleep but kept thinking of message .Going over it again & again.His heart told him it was fake .But a small corner in mind . Didn't let him rest at ease . perhaps it was instinct.
*********
A month & half later .
Ting finally made his mind to look for the sender .During his stay for a month .he had seen no signs of Biao being evil .He just looked like good person .
The only strange thing was Biao was mostly not present to lead his army .Despite being Army general.All the responsibility and work was handled by Tong in army .To the point Biao only made occasional appearance in After a week or 2.
But biao always had reasons .Like strategy meetings ,summoned by higher ups .To train new recruits .Or to provide support on other fronts .in short he couldn't find any reason to suspect him .
Ting had also asked his brother .if he had noticed something strange about biao .But Tong looked at him strangely and asked him not suspect biao .He even scolded him for long time .
In the end He just decided to meet the sender .To deal with him if he was scheming.
If he didn't give him 1 or 2 reasons which convinced him .He would, he would ...well let's meet first .
He gave the reason of feeling stuffy and want to go on a vacation to his brother & biao .To live in free environment to overcome his grief over passing of his mother .which was indeed true .
"Wait for 3 months.Father said your foundation is already at peak .And in 3months you can start cultivating .After you become cultivatior you can go wherever you want to go ."Tong .
"But brother 3 months is too long .Every moments staying here makes me sad .Also with my solid foundation .I am considered one of the strongest among mortals .
With the rule "Cultivatiors can't harm mortals ."
I would have no danger from cultivatiors.And for any mortal danger I can handle it . Please I just want to stay in quiet place for some time .Away from here .Brother please give me permission."Ting said with sadden look & sniffling.
Tong felt what ting said was logical .
"Ok ,but be careful . Don't go to any dangerous place .Also take care of yourself.Right take some protective talismans from storage .And Armor & hidden swords and... "Tong
"Brother stop .it's okay .I will take every treasure for protection.Dont worry "Ting hugged Tong .
For a moment it was emotional scene .
"Ting come back immediately if there is slightest sign of danger .And also ....forget it .I know you will take care of yourself "Tong.
*******
3 weeks later .
On a army horse he reached .Wu kingdom .In one of its winehouse named.
"Chilling Tres "
"Excuse me do you know anything about it ."Ting showed him a small logo on skin coloured paper .
Taking a look waiter s eyes widened.Than in seconds he was composed.
"Please follow me "
Waiter took him to the backroom than outsids by a dark path .Than after entering a dark tunnel .They came out in forest .Than waiter stood near a well .
"Please go inside the well "said waiter returned .
Ting thought for a second than jumped .
After he fell like height of 3 stories .just before he hit the floor .He activated a talisman.His body slowed down .
He gently landed on ground.After landing he realised the ground was soft .Even if he were to fall .He wouldn't be hurt .
In front of him was a wooden door .opening it he saw A table & some chairs in the dark cabin . opposite in the wall was also a door but iron one .
Ting waited for some time before the other door opened And in came the bearded man .
The same bearded man who had helped him long ago .
"Masterrrrr"Ting stood and bowed .still surprised .
"Sit I am not your master .You must have guessed.but I was not citizen of yu kingdom but a spy from other kingdom.As for the small help .it was just in a passing moment"said Guilty a bearded man with straight face.
After some moments.
"Mas ...Sir .was this sent by you "Ting placed a skin color paper on table .
Bearded man nodded.
"Why ? And Is this true . Everything that is written in it "Ting said tapping his finger .
"Why ?.I will tell you later .
As for whether it's true .Even if I say yes you may not beleive it .So before take a look at some information first ."Bearded man gave a tap on table .From the iron door came a young child younger than even Ting .His skin fair and white comparable to girls.. shining,adorable & attractive like a moon .Ting took a look and moved his gaze to the papers he was carrying .
After he placed the paper .The child stood on a side .
"What are these documents."Ting
"These are documents that contain war history of 100years among small kingdoms .
You should take a look ."bearded man said politely .
But Ting didn't move .
"Oh you might not be able to read .I didn't consider that .Should I read it to you word by word "Bearded man offered.
"I can read perfectly it's just that .I want to say something first .I am carrying 100s of talismans ,And many fierce treasures .If you didn't convinced me today .I will launch all of the attacking talismans .
There is still time .Just admit that everything you wrote in that message was fake and I will go back calmly."Ting
"You.."Bearded man's eyes narrowed as a dangerous glint passed in his eyes.
The child in the corner spoke .
"Are these your things ."The fair child waved a stack of talisman papers in the year .
"This...Those are my ."Ting was panicked .He checked his robes & pockets .
"These are the things you are looking for "
Bearded man started piling one thing after another on table .
Ting was chilled .These two were really fast .He didn't even when took things from him .Only with a high level of cultivaton could one do it .
That also meant .The child who looked younger than him was already cultivator and a strong one .
"Who...who are you "
"It doesn't matter who we are .You also don't have to worry .we won't harm you "The child replied .
"Didn't you already intend to harm me .Those people who attacked us month ago . Don't tell me it has no relation to you "Ting
"Those guys we have no connection to them .we just used them as messenger.We got to know before that they were going to attack you .so we just took it as opportunity.Infact all of them carried same message .and whoever will make physical contact with you .will have done it's work & died .They didn't even knew they were carrying out message."The fair child replied
Hearing it Ting lowered his head as he thought over .
He moved his hands to the reports and started reading it carefully word by word .
Many hours passed Before Ting was done reading everything.After reading everything he was shocked .Not because reports contained something shocking .But that these reports didn't have a single mention of General biao .
Every war happened till now to 100 years back was recorded.The details of other kingdoms ,their,soldiers and even commanders were recorded.Even some who got promotion within the 100 years were recorded.But not a mention of general biao .
On top of that His brother was recorded as evil army general .Who even before becoming adult was cruel & heartless .
He killed innocents as though cutting vegetables.Plundered everything in his path .
In short His brother was the most cruel & evil person within small kingdoms .
Ting knew there were some bad rumours about his brother .But he hadn't thought the rumours were this bad .
"My Brother isn't like this .Not a single recorded about him is true "Ting felt the need to explain.
"We know "Child replied.
"Continue reading ".
Ting was even more surprised because. Although general biao wasn't mentioned.There were mention of some names who had lead the southern front of si kingdom.Before like jia ge ,Li sao,Dei he and others .Infact Even the date of their becoming general and their death was recorded .
But the surprise didn't end for he saw the dei he person died just a week before They met general biao
.From than on Tong became a general of southern front .
"What nonsense is this "Ting lost his composure .
"This isn't nonsense.This is what was recorded by other kingdoms .
Infact of you were to gather information from any kingdom .The result will be same ."The child said .
"Than how do you know my brother is innocent?."Ting now suspected everything.perhaps all of this was ruse .Created by these two ?.But why .
"Because we are from lei kingdom . Currently Top largest kingdom .And we can investigate things that others don't.We also have information that other don't.For ex:- your brother is being used as front to cover up the evil misdeeds of Prince biao ."
Ting couldn't take it anymore after he heard they were from lei kingdom .
He felt as though he had connected every dot and solved the puzzle .
"Ah so that's why . That's why .You created all this fake things to smear the name of father .just because Biao kingdom is contending against lei kingdom .
All this to weaken biao kingdom.but I want fall for this "Ting threw all the papers from table .
"It's not like that ...you are misunderstanding.all these reports without a slightest mistake are all true ."said uncle gui.
"All these are true . Haha than let me ask you what is there to gain for you ?.why help me?."Ting raised his eye high .as he looked crazily at the two .
"You are being brazen in front of his his highness ."Gui realeased a invisible pressure .Ting was instantly pinned to the floor .
"I requested his highness to save you .from the manipulation of Evil biao .But you are misunderstanding us .taking us as schemist and villain .Do you know how much effort & money we spent to gather this information.
Your highness please punish me .it was I who asked you to save this child . Because I felt pity for him ."Gui knelt in front of fair child .
"Uncle gui it's not your fault.Seeing as his brother was capable and strong . I thought they could join my personal army .but it seems he isn't ready to accept the truth .This trip was wasted "replied a fair child .
"In the cultivation world there are many things that are unbelievable. But true .You can choose to believe it or not it's your personal choice .you can go "child moved his hand in dismissive gesture .
The pressure on ting disappeared.But ting didn't felt grateful .Infact he felt he found the reason They had created these fake ruse .
It was so his brother could change side and become part of Lei kingdom .
Ting turned to leave the dark room .
"Wait I have question"fair child asked .
"Do you like war ?"
Ting stopped .
"Who would like a war .which brings sufferings to the lot of people "Ting replied reminded of others in the refugee inside the forest .with that he turned back to leave .
"I see .I am Guan lei .4th prince of lei kingdom ."came voice behind him.
Ting was ready to climb the wall .when his things came flying to him .Ting gathered everything and came outside of well .Outside a waiter was waiting to guide him to the winehouse .
Inside the dark room.
"Your highness again I am sorry ."Uncle gui said .
"It's fine .This isn't the first time someone didn't believe me .infact he was stranger .so it was only logical .But it's a pity .I thought of tong could join us . perhaps we could stop a fall of lei kingdom"Guan lei
Uncle gui didn't comment anything.it was unbelievable a large kingdom like lei will fall .But the child beleived so .
From the time Guan lei was 5 .he had an unique foresight .where he could somewhat predict future .But the other princes nor emperor beleived in him .
As for him he was servant . whatever his master said he will do .
"Your highness you have given him our unique cultivaton technique ?. Should I retrieve it back even if I have to ..."Rest words were unsaid.
"No .it's just copy of 1st page .Besides I gave him so he could make use of it .We can also see that way how much capable these brothers are .Earlier I noticed he had no signs of burn from thunder shock .so he might be somewhat suitable to cultivate our technique"
