PALACE OF THE GRAND GENERAL (location- mortal realm)
"Master, you are recruiting disciples again it's only been a year since the last one died, what a shame. that bastard just died like that....." her disciple seemed to have no ounce of shame when he let these words fall out of his mouth while eyeing a precious gem in his hand "Chu yin, you sly fox," she chuckled calmly while caressing an adorable kitten in her arms, her dimples flexing as that soft sound of a chuckle left her lips." does it worry you that your position would be given to someone else?" she spoke while caressing the wining cat until she was hissing at her but that wouldn't stop her from not cuddling with a random cat making chu yin roll his eyes and pout in irritation thinking how could this fragile lady even stay alive without him and how on earth is she even given the title of the grand general in the first place.
to be honest, he was worried about how this little princess could compete with troops in a battle but the thought only made him stress about it even more, how could she be goofing around with cats instead of trying to defend herself to not going to the border? Chu Yin sighed, he was helpless.
mean while Wu Jiang, the all-mighty illegitimate daughter that no one cared about was given the opportunity of serving in the borders of the deadly Mongolian- northern Chinese army. it might look like it was a big deal but it really wasn't, it was just to make her a laughingstalk in front of everyone in the kingdom who had already hated her since her birth due to her mother being a famous courteson who ended the marriage of the emperor through connections and seduction and had then given birth to the youngest daughter, hence the name, Wu Jiang. her name meant a sword yet she was as delicate as a flower petal.
