That day, Lin Yue finally left for her home. She told her mother about her experience at the family head's residence and she suddenly remembered what Lin Xi said earlier, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, I always forget to ask you this question, why did Lin Xi always look for trouble with us?."
"Why do you ask?." Xie Mingzhu asked softly.
Lin Yue pouted. "Mother, is it not convenient for you to tell me?."
Xie Mingzhu rubbed her daughter's head and sigh. "It is because of her elder brother, Lin Yuan, he and your father are the popular genii of the Lins, and when the Emperor wanted to appoint a general from the Lin Manor, he find it difficult to do so, so he sent them to war that the one who cuts off the enemy's general head will be appointed as the general so both he and your father tried their best to get the general's head.
However, the general was a female enchantress and was extremely cunning too, just when Lin Yuan was about to make a move against her, she surrendered herself first, and seeing such beauty was about to die, why not enjoy her first, that was Lin Yuan's thought. He carried the lady to his room, he crippled her cultivation to be safe. However, he didn't know that the lady was also skilled in poisoning so... when, ehm," Xie Mingzhu cleared her throat awkwardly and continued. "When they were having pillow talk and things get heated, the lady poisoned him and killed him there, she threw his body away and escape but she was unlucky to meet your father at that time who was searching frantically for her, and it was then that your father ended the General's life, making him be successfully bestowed the Northern General's title."
"Then... why was Lin Xi looking for trouble with us? I don't think her brother's death has anything to do with My dad, right?"
Xie Mingzhu chuckled. "Of course, that's not what Lin Xi thought, she always believed that your father take away her brother's credit, after all, her brother had crippled the general's cultivation first."
"What a strange and unreasonable woman she is..." Lin Yue muttered.
"Okay, that's all about it." Xie Mingzhu changed the topic. "Didn't you say that your master has taught you a skill?."
"Yeah, Mother."
"Okay, let's go and train then!."
"Train?!!!" Lin Yue can't believe that her mother would also ask them to train. She blinked cutely and tried to change the topic. "Mother... Yue'er is..."
She wasn't able to finish her sentence when her mother waved Ranran over. "Ranran, go and get Yue'er some pastries, and ask a guard to prepare a carriage, we are leaving for Purple Lake forest."
"Okay, My Lady!" Ranran bowed and went to do as she was told.
Lin Yue blinked her eyes and realized that she has nowhere to hide! Pouting again, she hesitatingly followed her mother into the carriage and they left for Purple Lake forest.
Lin Yue ate the delicious pastries and just when she finished eating, they arrived at a forest with super tall green trees.
Blinking her eyes, Lin Yue look up and realized that her eyes can't reach the end of the tree, it was as if the tree extended to heaven.
"Mother, we are going to train here?." She turned to look at the graceful woman that just step out of the carriage.
"Yeah, you only learn sword training but you haven't executed it, have you? So here is the chance to practice all you've to learn."
"...But I practiced with Wen Shao?." Lin Yue thought as she and her mother started walking into the forest.
Soon, they came across a prey, and it was a very beautiful rabbit. The rabbit wasn't that big but its fur seems to be shining and it has a pair of beautiful black moving eyes.
Lin Yue stares into its eyes and find the rabbit extremely cute, and couldn't help but walks toward it in a daze.
"What a beautiful kitten..."
Just then, her mother pulled her back by the clothes and chided her softly.
"Do you think that this is a harmless rabbit because it looks cute?, this is an Angelic Rabbit, its ability is to charm its prey and made them walk towards it, then it would bite the person and drink their blood."
"Know that every animal that was able to survive in this forest is all beast!." Xie Mingzhu added.
Lin Yue pursed her lips before saying. "I will be careful from now on, Mother."
Her mother patted her back. "Now go and fight it, but make sure to not look at its eyes."
"Okay!." Lin Yue couldn't help but feel excited as she look at her first prey. The rabbit was just standing there and was even mewing for her to look at it so that she can fall into its trap.
