Gao Chen PoV
I observed the carriage take off into the air from inside the Shimmering Palace, my Qi spreading over the entirety of the mountain and then some as I sat near the room I had constructed for Li Yu Ming.
My head rested against the wall as I stared at the vegetation around the courtyard, the various flowers and herbs that had been planted here to further aid the efforts to sap Qi from the air creating a rather serene portion of the Palace, even if it was uncomfortable to remain here for too long.
I couldn't help but allow my mind to drift as I sat there, not feeling the urge to cultivate nor knowing what else to do right now except... think.
Reflect.
There was something new in my life that I had never thought I would obtain so quickly, and trying to acclimate to the addition of something born of my blood was... difficult.
I was selfish.
I was strict.
